Standard Instrument Approach Procedures have been developed at Richard
Arthur Field. This action enhances the safety and management of
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport. This action
also updates the airport's geographic coordinates and notes the name
change to Richard Arthur Field.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, December 15, 2011. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
title 1, Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual
revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On July 25, 2011, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace at Fayette, AL
(76 FR 44285) Docket No. FAA-2011-0559. Subsequent to publication, the
FAA found that the geographic coordinates needed to be adjusted. This
action makes that adjustment. Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on
the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Class E airspace
designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9V dated
August 9, 2011, and effective September 15, 2011, which is incorporated
by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed
in this document will be published subsequently in the Order. With the
exception of editorial changes, and the changes described above, this
rule is the same as that proposed in the NPRM.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at Fayette, AL to accommodate the new Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures developed for Richard Arthur Field. The
Fayette NDB has been decommissioned, and the NDB approach cancelled.
The existing Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface is being modified for the safety and management of IFR
operations. This action also updates the geographic coordinates to be
in concert with the FAAs aeronautical database, and notes the airport's
name change from Richard Arthur Field Airport to Richard Arthur Field.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore, (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority.
    This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it amends controlled airspace at Richard Arthur Field, Fayette, AL.

Revisions to Digital Flight Data Recorder Regulations for Boeing
737 Airplanes and for All Part 125 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; Notice of Office of Management and Budget approval
for information collection.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces the Office of Management and Budget's
(OMB's) approval of the information collection requirement contained in
the FAA's final rule, ``Revisions to Digital Flight Data Recorder
Regulations for Boeing 737 Airplanes and for All Part 125 Airplanes.''
That final rule was published on December 2, 2008.

DATES: The FAA received OMB approval for the information collection
requirements in the final rule published December 2, 2008, 73 FR 73171,
on April 3, 2009. The final rule became effective on February 9, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    On December 2, 2008, the FAA published the final rule entitled
``Revisions to Digital Flight Data Recorder Regulations for Boeing 737
Airplanes and for All Part 125 Airplanes'' (73 FR 73171). This rule
amended the regulations governing flight data recorders to increase the
number of digital flight data recorder parameters for all Boeing 737
series airplanes manufactured after August 18, 2000. This change was
based on safety recommendations from the National Transportation Safety
Board following its investigations of two accidents and several
incidents involving 737s. The final rule also adopted a prohibition on
deviations from flight recorder requirements for all airplanes operated
under part 125.
    The final rule contained information collection requirements that
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) had not yet approved as of
the date of publication. In the ``Paperwork Reduction Act'' section of
the final rule, the FAA noted that the agency may not collect or
sponsor the collection of information, nor may it impose an information
collection requirement, unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, OMB approved that
request on April 3, 2009, and assigned the information collection OMB
Control Number 2120-0616. The FAA request was approved by OMB without
change and expires on April 30, 2012. This notice is being published to
inform affected parties of the approval and to announce that the
information collection requirements in the final rule entitled
``Revisions to Digital Flight Data Recorder Regulations for Boeing 737
Airplanes and for All Part 125 Airplanes'' will become effective when
this notice is published in the Federal Register.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on August 17, 2009.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2021-0002]

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Vision

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of denials.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to deny applications from 37
individuals who requested an exemption from the vision standard in the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) to operate a CMV in
interstate commerce.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Christine A. Hydock, Chief,
Medical Programs Division,<PHONE_NUMBER><EMAIL_ADDRESS>FMCSA,
Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Room W64-224,
Washington, DC 20590-0001. Office hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

B. Privacy Act

    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments from the
public to better inform its rulemaking process. DOT posts these
comments, without edit, including any personal information the
commenter provides, to www.regulations.gov, as described in the system
of records notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at
www.transportation.gov/privacy.

II. Background

    FMCSA received applications from 37 individuals who requested an
exemption from the vision standard in the FMCSRs.
    FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility of these applicants and
concluded that granting these exemptions would not provide a level of
safety that would be equivalent to, or greater than, the level of
safety that would be obtained by complying with Sec.  391.41(b)(10).

III. Basis for Exemption Determination

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the FMCSRs for no longer than a 5-year period if it finds such
exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to,
or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such
exemption. FMCSA grants exemptions from the FMCSRs for a 2-year period
to align with the maximum duration of a driver's medical certification.
    The Agency's decision regarding these exemption applications is
based on medical reports about the applicants' vision, as well as their
driving records and experience driving with the vision deficiency.

IV. Conclusion

    The Agency has determined that these applicants do not satisfy the
eligibility criteria or meet the terms and conditions of the Federal
exemption and granting these exemptions would not provide a level of
safety that would be equivalent to, or greater than, the level of
safety that would be obtained by complying with Sec.  391.41(b)(10).
Therefore, the 37 applicants in this notice have been denied exemptions
from the physical qualification standards in Sec.  391.41(b)(10).
    Each applicant has, prior to this notice, received a letter of
final disposition regarding his/her exemption request. Those decision
letters fully outlined the basis for the denial and constitute final
action by the Agency. This notice summarizes the Agency's recent
denials as required under 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(4) by periodically
publishing names and reasons for denial.
    The following 18 applicants had no experience operating a CMV:

Dut J. Acuoth (NY)
Wyatt W. Brown (IA)
James R. Bruner (AL)
Gareth S. Collins (AZ)
Maira A. Giraldo (TX)

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change To Adopt
FINRA Rule 2320 in the Consolidated FINRA Rulebook

April 14, 2009.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on March 31, 2009, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,
Inc. (``FINRA'') (f/k/a National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. (``NASD'')) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``SEC'' or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by FINRA.
The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    FINRA is proposing to adopt NASD Rule 2820 (Variable Contracts of
an Insurance Company) as a FINRA rule in the consolidated FINRA
rulebook with minor changes. The proposed rule change would renumber
NASD Rule 2820 as FINRA Rule 2320 in the consolidated FINRA rulebook.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on FINRA's Web
site at (http://www.finra.org), at the principal office of FINRA, and
at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, FINRA included statements
concerning the purpose of, and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. FINRA has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A,
B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    As part of the process of developing a new consolidated rulebook
(``Consolidated FINRA Rulebook''),\3\ FINRA is proposing to adopt NASD
Rule 2820 into the Consolidated FINRA Rulebook with minor changes
discussed below. The proposed rule change would renumber NASD Rule 2820
as FINRA Rule 2320.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The current FINRA rulebook consists of (1) FINRA Rules; (2)
NASD Rules; and (3) rules incorporated from NYSE (``Incorporated
NYSE Rules'') (together, the NASD Rules and Incorporated NYSE Rules
are referred to as the ``Transitional Rulebook''). While the NASD
Rules generally apply to all FINRA members, the Incorporated NYSE
Rules apply only to those members of FINRA that are also members of
the NYSE (``Dual Members''). The FINRA Rules apply to all FINRA
members, unless such rules have a more limited application by their
terms. For more information about the rulebook consolidation
process, see FINRA Information Notice, March 12, 2008 (Rulebook
Consolidation Process).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NASD Rule 2820 regulates members in connection with the sale and
distribution of variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts
(together, ``variable contracts''). It prohibits members from
participating in the offer or sale of a variable contract unless
certain conditions are met. Members may not participate in the offering
or sale of a variable contract on any basis other than at a value to be
determined following receipt of payment in accordance with the
provisions of the contract, the prospectus and the Investment Company
Act. Members must promptly transmit to the issuing insurance company
all contract applications and at least the portion of the purchase
payment required to be credited to the contract. NASD Rule 2820 also
requires selling agreements between principal underwriters of variable
contracts and selling broker-dealers. Such agreements must provide that
the sales commission will be

returned to the issuer if the contract is tendered for redemption
within seven business days after acceptance. In addition, members may
not sell variable contracts unless the insurance company promptly
honors customer redemption requests in accordance with the contract,
its prospectus and the Investment Company Act.
    NASD Rule 2820(g) regulates member compensation in connection with
the sale and distribution of variable contracts, including both cash
and non-cash compensation arrangements. Generally, NASD Rule 2820(g)
prohibits associated persons of a member from accepting any
compensation from any person other than the member with which the
person is associated. The rule contains an exception to allow
arrangements where a non-member pays compensation directly to
associated persons, provided that the member agrees to the arrangement,
and relies on appropriate rules or guidance from the SEC that apply to
the specific fact situation of the arrangement, and the relevant
associated persons treat the funds as compensation.\4\ NASD Rule
2820(g) also prohibits associated persons from accepting securities as
compensation, limits the payment or receipt of non-cash compensation
(such as gifts, entertainment, training or education meetings and sales
contests), and requires certain records to be kept.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ For example, the SEC staff has issued a number of ``no-
action'' letters permitting, among other things, associated persons
of members to receive compensation for the sale of variable contract
products from a licensed corporate insurance agent acting on behalf
of one or more insurance companies. See First of America Brokerage
Service, Inc. (Sept. 28, 1995) (noting that the staff will no longer
respond to letters regarding networking agreements between
registered broker-dealers, insurance companies, and insurance
agencies in connection with the offer and sale of Insurance
Securities unless the [sic] present novel or unusual issues); FIMCO
Securities, Inc. (July 16, 1993); Traditional Equinet Corporation of
New York (January 8, 1992).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The rule's non-cash compensation provision requires a member to
keep records of all compensation received by the member or its
associated persons from ``offerors'' (generally insurance companies and
their affiliates), other than small gifts and entertainment permitted
by the rule. Currently, this provision requires the records to include
the nature of, and ``if known,'' the value of any non-cash compensation
received. FINRA proposes to modify this requirement by deleting the
phrase ``if known'' regarding the value of non-cash compensation. The
proposed change to Rule 2820 would require members to determine and
keep records of the value of non-cash compensation received from
offerors in all cases. This change would make the provision more
consistent with the non-cash compensation recordkeeping requirements
regarding public offerings of securities (FINRA Rule 5110(i)(2)) and
direct participation programs (NASD Rule 2810(c)(2)).\5\ Members would
be permitted to estimate the actual value of non-cash compensation for
which a receipt (or similar documentation) assigning a value is not
available.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ FINRA has proposed to transfer NASD Rule 2810 without
material change into the Consolidated FINRA Rulebook as FINRA Rule
2310. See SR-FINRA-2009-016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change also would make certain non-substantive,
technical changes to the rule to reflect FINRA's corporate name and the
new format of the Consolidated FINRA Rulebook.
    Over the past several years, variable life insurance products have
continued to be of interest to members and the investing public. FINRA
has noted the growth in sales and popularity of variable life insurance
products, and has published information, including several Notices,
addressing regulatory concerns regarding these products.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See, e.g., the following Notices to Members: 98-75 (SEC
Approves Rule Change Relating to Non-Cash Compensation for Mutual
Funds and Variable Products) (Sept. 1998); 99-103 (SEC Approves Rule
Change Relating to Sales Charges for Investment Companies and
Variable Contracts) (Dec. 1999); 00-44 (NASD Reminds Members of
Their Responsibilities Regarding the Sale of Variable Life
Insurance) (July 2000).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA believes that the provisions of NASD Rule 2820 continue to be
an important tool in the effective regulation of variable contracts.
Accordingly, for the reasons set forth above, FINRA recommends that
NASD Rule 2820 be transferred with minor changes into the Consolidated
FINRA Rulebook as FINRA Rule 2320. As noted above, FINRA will announce
the implementation date of the proposed rule change in a Regulatory
Notice to be published no later than 90 days following Commission
approval.
2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,\7\ which requires, among
other things, that FINRA rules must be designed to prevent fraudulent
and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest. FINRA believes that the proposed rule change will
continue to allow FINRA to effectively regulate members in connection
with the sale and distribution of variable contracts. The proposed rule
change makes minor changes to a rule that has proven effective in
meeting statutory mandates.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    FINRA does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in
any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Within 35 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the self regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve such proposed rule change, or
    (B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

UNIFIED CARRIER REGISTRATION PLAN

Sunshine Act Meeting; Unified Carrier Registration Plan Board
Subcommittee Meeting

TIME AND DATE: May 13, 2021, 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., Eastern time.

PLACE: This meeting will be accessible via conference call and via Zoom
Meeting and Screenshare. Any interested person may call (i) 1-929-205-
6099 (US Toll) or 1-669-900-6833 (US Toll) or (ii) 1-877-853-5247 (US
Toll Free) or 1-888-788-0099 (US Toll Free), Meeting ID: 916 0446 8270,
to listen and participate in this meeting. The website to participate
via Zoom Meeting and Screenshare is https://kellen.zoom.us/j/91604468270.

STATUS: This meeting will be open to the public.

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED: The Unified Carrier Registration Plan Finance
Subcommittee (the ``Subcommittee'') will continue its work in
developing and implementing the Unified Carrier Registration Plan and
Agreement. The subject matter of this meeting will include:

Proposed Agenda

I. Call to Order--Subcommittee Chair

    The Subcommittee Chair will welcome attendees, call the meeting to
order, call roll for the Subcommittee, confirm whether a quorum is
present, and facilitate self-introductions.

II. Verification of Publication of Meeting Notice--UCR Executive
Director

    The UCR Executive Director will verify the publication of the
meeting notice on the UCR website and distribution to the UCR contact
list via email followed by the subsequent publication of the notice in
the Federal Register.

III. Review and Approval of Subcommittee Agenda and Setting of Ground
Rules--Subcommittee Chair

For Discussion and Possible Subcommittee Action

    The Agenda will be reviewed, and the Subcommittee will consider
adoption.
Ground Rules
    [rtarr8] Subcommittee action only to be taken in designated areas
on agenda

IV. Review and Approval of Minutes From April 1, 2021 Meeting--
Subcommittee Chair

For Discussion and Possible Subcommittee Action

    Draft minutes from the April 1, 2021 Subcommittee meeting via
teleconference will be reviewed. The Subcommittee will consider action
to approve.

V. 2023 Fee Change Recommendation--Calculation Methodology--
Subcommittee Chair and UCR Depository Manager

For Discussion and Possible Subcommittee Action

    The Subcommittee Chair and the UCR Depository Manager will lead a
discussion regarding the merits of using an ``average collections''
method for estimating the remaining fees collected before the end of
the registration year on September 30, 2022 versus the ``minimum
collections'' method used for estimating fee collections over the same
period. The Subcommittee may take action to make a recommendation to
the UCR Board of Directors regarding the most appropriate method to
use.

VI. 2023 Fee Change Recommendation--Initial Estimate--UCR Depository
Manager

    The UCR Depository Manager will present the initial fee
calculations for the 2023 registration year. This will be an initial
review to the Subcommittee and most likely will not be the final fees
recommended to the UCR Board from the Subcommittee for the 2023
registration year. This will be a forward-looking analysis, and no
reliance should be placed on whether these figures will be the fees
that will be recommended for the 2023 registration year because they
are very preliminary and subject to change prior to the Subcommittee's
final fee recommendation to the Board to be made at the Subcommittee's
July meeting.

VII. 2019 Registration Year Closure--UCR Depository Manager

For Discussion and Possible Subcommittee Action

    The UCR Depository Manager will present to the Subcommittee the
results of the final closure of the Depository for the 2019
registration year.

VIII. Other Business--Subcommittee Chair

    The Subcommittee Chair will call for any other items Subcommittee
members would like to discuss.

IX. Adjournment--Subcommittee Chair

    The Subcommittee Chair will adjourn the meeting.
    The agenda will be available no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern time,
May 5, 2021 at: https://plan.ucr.gov.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-62507; File No. SR-ISE-2010-68]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule
Change To Amend the Qualification Standards for Market Makers To
Receive a Rebate for Adding Liquidity

July 15, 2010.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on June 28, 2010, the International Securities Exchange, LLC (the
``Exchange'' or the ``ISE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission the proposed rule change, as described in Items I, II, and
III below, which items have been prepared by the self-regulatory

organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The ISE is proposing to amend the qualification standards for
market makers to receive a rebate under the Exchange's maker/taker
pricing program. The text of the proposed rule change is available on
the Exchange's Web site (http://www.ise.com), at the principal office
of the Exchange, at the Commission's Public Reference Room, and on the
Commission's Web site at http://www.sec.gov.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization
has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B and C below, of the
most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The purpose of this proposed rule change is to amend the
qualification standards for market makers to receive a rebate under the
Exchange's maker/taker pricing program. The Exchange recently adopted
transaction fees and rebates for adding and removing liquidity
(``maker/taker fees'').\3\ The maker/taker fees currently apply to
trading in a select number of options classes \4\ to the following
categories of market participants: (i) Market Maker; (ii) Market Maker
Plus; (iii) Non-ISE Market Maker; \5\ (iv) Firm Proprietary; (v)
Customer (Professional); \6\ (vi) Priority Customer,\7\ 100 or more
contracts; and (vii) Priority Customer, less than 100 contracts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 61869 (April 7,
2010), 75 FR 19449 (April 14, 2010); 62048 (May 6, 2010), 75 FR
26830 (May 12, 2010); and 62319 (June 17, 2010), 75 FR 36134 (June
24, 2010).
    \4\ As of June 1, 2010, the following options classes were
subject to maker/taker fees: QQQQ, BAC, C, SPY, IWM, XLF, AAPL, GE,
JPM, INTC, GS, RIMM, T, VZ, UNG, FCX, CSCO, DIA, AMZN, X, AA, AIG,
AXP, BBY, CAT, CHK, DNDN, EEM, EFA, EWZ, F, FAS, FAZ, FSLR, GDX,
GLD, IYR, MGM, MS, MSFT, MU, PALM, PBR, PG, POT, RIG, SDS, SLV, XLE,
and XOM. On June 28, 2010, the Exchange submitted a proposed rule
change, SR-ISE-2010-65, to be effective on July 1, 2010, to add the
following 30 options classes to be included in the Exchange's maker/
taker fee schedule: ABX, BMY, BP, COP, DELL, DRYS, FXI, HAL, IBM,
KO, LVS, MCD, MO, MON, NOK, ORCL, PFE, QCOM, S, SLB, SMH, SNDK, TBT,
USO, V, VALE, WFT, XLI, XRT, and YHOO.
    \5\ A Non-ISE Market Maker, or Far Away Market Maker
(``FARMM''), is a market maker as defined in Section 3(a)(38) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (``Exchange Act''),
registered in the same options class on another options exchange.
    \6\ A Customer (Professional) is a person who is not a broker/
dealer and is not a Priority Customer.
    \7\ A Priority Customer is defined in ISE Rule 100(a)(37A) as a
person or entity that is not a broker/dealer in securities, and does
not place more than 390 orders in listed options per day on average
during a calendar month for its own beneficial account(s).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In order to promote and encourage liquidity in options classes that
are subject to maker/taker fees, the Exchange currently offers a $0.10
per contract rebate for Market Maker Plus orders sent to the
Exchange.\8\ A Market Maker Plus is currently defined by the Exchange
as a market maker who is on the National Best Bid or National Best
Offer 80% of the time for series trading between $0.03 and $5.00 in
premium in each of the front two expiration months and 80% of the time
for all series trading between $0.03 and $5.00 in premium for all
expiration months for that symbol during the current trading month.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The concept of incenting market makers with a rebate is not
novel. In 2008, the CBOE established a program for its Hybrid Agency
Liaison whereby it provides a $0.20 per contact rebate to its market
makers provided that at least 80% of the market maker's quotes in a
class during a month are on one side of the national best bid or
offer. Market makers not meeting CBOE's criteria are not eligible to
receive a rebate. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57231
(January 30, 2008), 73 FR 6752 (February 5, 2008). The CBOE has
since lowered the criteria from 80% to 60%. See Securities Exchange
Act Release No. 57470 (March 11, 2008), 73 FR 14514 (March 18,
2008).
    \9\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 62282 (June 11,
2010), 75 FR 34499 (June 17, 2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange now proposes to amend the qualification standards in
order for a market maker to qualify for the $0.10 per contract rebate.
Specifically, the Exchange proposes to define a Market Maker Plus as a
market maker who is on the National Best Bid or National Best Offer 80%
of the time for series trading between $0.03 and $5.00 (for options
whose underlying stock's previous trading day's last sale price was
less than or equal to $100) and between $0.10 and $5.00 (for options
whose underlying stock's previous trading day's last sale price was
greater than $100) in premium in each of the front two expiration
months and 80% of the time for series trading between $0.03 and $5.00
(for options whose underlying stock's previous trading day's last sale
price was less than or equal to $100) and between $0.10 and $5.00 (for
options whose underlying stock's previous trading day's last sale price
was greater than $100) in premium across all expiration months for that
symbol during the current trading month.
    The Exchange currently determines whether a market maker qualifies
as a Market Maker Plus at the end of each month by looking back at each
market maker's quoting statistics during that month. If at the end of
the month, a market maker meets the Exchange's current stated criteria,
the Exchange rebates $0.10 per contract for transactions executed by
that market maker during that month. The Exchange will continue to
monitor each market maker's quoting statistics to determine whether a
market maker qualifies for a rebate under the standards proposed
herein.
    The Exchange also currently provides market makers a report on a
daily basis with quoting statistics so that market makers can determine
whether or not they are meeting the Exchange's current stated criteria.
Again, the Exchange will continue to provide market makers a daily
report so that market makers can determine whether or not they are
meeting the Exchange's new quoting requirement to qualify for a rebate.
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change will encourage
market makers to post tighter markets in the options classes that are
subject to maker/taker fees and thereby increase liquidity and attract
order flow to the Exchange.
    The Exchange has designated this proposal to be operative on July
1, 2010.
2. Statutory Basis
    The basis under the Exchange Act for this proposed rule change is
the requirement under Section 6(b)(4) that an exchange have an
equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among
its members and other persons using its facilities. The impact of the
proposal upon the net fees paid by a particular market participant will
depend on a number of variables, most important of which will be its
propensity to add or remove liquidity in the options classes that are
subject to the Exchange's maker/taker fees. The Exchange operates in a
highly competitive market in which market participants can readily
direct order flow to another exchange if they deem fee levels at a
particular exchange to be excessive. The Exchange believes that

the fees it charges for options classes that are subject to the
Exchange's maker/taker fees remain competitive with fees charged by
other exchanges and therefore continue to be reasonable and equitably
allocated to those members that opt to direct orders to the Exchange
rather than to a competing exchange. The Exchange further believes that
amending the qualification standards for market makers to qualify for a
rebate will encourage these market participants to post tighter markets
in the options classes that are subject to the Exchange's maker/taker
fees and thereby increase liquidity and attract order flow to the
Exchange.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested
parties.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) \11\ thereunder. At any
time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule change, the
Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it appears to the
Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public
interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of the continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing collection of
information requirements in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that
information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs)
is minimal, collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's
estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH Act or for developing
information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational
injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also
requires that OSHA obtain such information with minimum burden upon
employers, especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce
to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
    The OSH Act authorizes the OSHA to conduct education and training
courses (29 U.S.C. 670). These courses must educate an adequate number
of qualified personnel to fulfill the purposes of the OSH Act, provide
them with short-term training, inform them of the importance and proper
use of safety and health equipment, and train employers and workers to
recognize, avoid, and prevent unsafe and unhealthful working
conditions.
    Under Section 21 of the OSH Act, the OSHA Training Institute (the
Institute) provides basic, intermediate, and advanced training and
education in occupational safety and health for state compliance
officers, agency professionals and technical support personnel,
employers, workers, organizations representing workers and employers,
educators who develop curricula and teach occupational safety and
health courses, and representatives of professional safety and health
groups. The Institute provides courses on occupational safety and
health at the national training facility in Arlington Heights,
Illinois.
    Students attending Institute courses complete the one-page Student
Data Form (OSHA Form 182) on the first day of class. The form provides
information under five major categories titled ``Course Information,''
``Personal Data,'' ``Employer Data,'' ``Emergency Contacts,'' and
``Student Groups.'' The OSHA Directorate of Training and Education (the
Directorate) compiles, for each fiscal year, the following information
from the ``Course Information'' and ``Student Groups'' categories:
total student attendance at the Institute; the number of students
attending each training course offered by the Institute; and the types
of students attending these courses (for example, students from federal
or state occupational safety and health agencies). The Directorate uses
this information to demonstrate, in an accurate and timely manner, that
the agency is providing the training and worker education mandated by
Section 21 of the OSH Act. OSHA also uses this information to evaluate
training output, and to make decisions regarding program/course
revisions, budget support, and tuition costs.
    The agency uses the information collected under the ``Course
Information,'' ``Personal Data,'' and ``Employer Data'' to identify
private sector students so that it can collect tuition costs from them
or their employers as authorized by 31 U.S.C. 9701 (``Fees and Charges
for Government Services and Things of Value''); Office of Management
and Budget Circular A-25 (``User Charges''); and 29 CFR part 1949
(``Directorate of Training and Education, Occupational Safety and
Health Administration''). The information in the ``Personal Data'' and
``Emergency Contacts'' categories permits OSHA to contact students who
are residing in local hotels/motels if an emergency arises at their
home or place of employment, and to alert supervisors/alternate
contacts of a trainee's injury or illness.

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
     Whether the proposed information collection requirements
are necessary for the proper performance of the agency's functions,
including whether the information is useful;
     The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden (time
and costs) of the information collection requirements, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     The quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply;
for example, by using automated or other technological information
collection and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    The agency is requesting an adjustment decrease of 67 burden hours
(from 400 hours to 333 hours) as a result of the decreasing number of
students attending the Institute from 5,000 to 4,000 students. The
agency will summarize the comments submitted in response to this
notice, and will include this summary in the request for approval to
OMB.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

    Title: Student Data Form (OSHA Form 182).
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0172.
    Affected Public: Individuals; business or other for-profit
organizations; Federal government; State, Local, or Tribal governments.

    Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
    Total Responses: 4,000.
    Average Time per Response: 5 minutes (5/60 hour).
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 333 hours.
