SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-78685; File No. SR-NYSEMKT-2016-77]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE MKT LLC; Notice of Filing and
Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Amending Rule
900.2NY(18A)

August 25, 2016.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that, on August 12, 2016, NYSE MKT LLC (the ``Exchange'' or
``NYSE MKT'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II
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\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 900.2NY(18A). The proposed rule
change is available on the Exchange's Web site at www.nyse.com, at the
principal office of the Exchange, 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, 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 those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant parts 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 the filing is to amend Rule 900.2NY(18A), regarding
the definition of a ``Professional Customer,'' to align the Exchange's
definition with that of competing options exchanges, as discussed
below.
    The Exchange adopted the definition of a Professional Customer in
2010, after several other options exchanges added this definition.\4\
In doing so, the Exchange provided that a Professional Customer would
``be treated in the same manner as a Broker/Dealer (or non-Customer) in
securities for the purposes'' of various Exchange rules ``and the
Exchange's schedule of fees.'' \5\ Recently, the Exchange amended its
Professional Customer definition to align with rules of other
markets.\6\ However, as part of the harmonization effort for a uniform
definition of Professional Customer, the Exchange has determined that
other options exchanges do not similarly include reference to their fee
schedules in the definition of Professional Customer.\7\ Thus, to
conform with the rules of other options exchanges, the Exchange
proposes to modify Rule 900.2NY(18A) to delete the reference to the
Exchange's fee schedule. This change would allow the Exchange, like its
competitors, to attract Professional Customer order flow with fees that
differentiate Professional Customers from Broker/Dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 61818 (March 31,
2010), 75 FR 17457 (April 6, 2010) (SR-NYSEAmex-2010-18). See also
id., at note 14 (citing the approval orders of other options
exchanges).
    \5\ See Rule 900.2NY(18A).
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 77836 (May 16,
2016), 81 FR 31994 (May 20, 2016) (SR-NYSEMKT-2016-53).
    \7\ See, e.g., NYSE Arca Rule 6.1A.(4A) (no reference to fee
schedule in definition of Professional Customer); Nasdaq OMX PHLX
(``PHLX'') Rule 1000 (b)(14) (same); Nasdaq Options Market (``NOM'')
Chapter 1, Sec. 1(a)(48) (same); Bats BZX Exchange, Inc.'s (``BZX'')
Rule 16.1(a)(46) (same); BOX Options Exchange LLC (``BOX'') Rule 100
(a)(50) (same); International Securities Exchange (``ISE'') Rule
100(a)(37A) (same); MIAX Options Exchange (``MIAX'') Rule 100
(same).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also proposes to make a non-substantive change to
clarify the list of rules to which the Professional Customer definition
applies, which would add clarity and transparency to Exchange rules.
2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) \8\ of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act''), in general, and furthers
the objectives of Section 6(b)(5),\9\ in particular, in that it is
designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in
securities, and to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanisms of
a free and open market and a national market system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed change would foster cooperation and coordination with
persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities as it would
align Exchange rules with that of its competitors, which benefits
investors and the public interest. By removing reference to the
Exchange's fee schedule from the definition of Professional Customer,
the Exchange would, like its competitors, have the ability to attract
Professional Customer order flow with fees that differentiate
Professional Customers from Broker/Dealers. The proposed rule change
would therefore remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system by enabling the
Exchange to structure its fees for Professional Customers competitively
with the fees of other options exchanges.
    Further, the proposed changes are not unfairly discriminatory as
the modified definition would apply to all similarly-situated ATP
Holders that submit orders on behalf of Professional Customers.
    Finally, the non-substantive change to the Professional Customer
definition would remove impediments to and perfect the mechanisms of a
free and open market and a national market system, as it would add
clarity and transparency to Exchange rules.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange believes that
the proposed changes are pro-competitive as the changes align Exchange
rules with that of competing markets and would allow the Exchange to
better compete for Professional Customer order flow. The Exchange does
not believe that the proposed rule change would impose any burden on
intramarket competition because, to the extent the Exchange chooses to
adopt fees specific to Professional Customers, such fees would be equal
to or less than those charged to broker/dealers and would not be more
favorable than fees charged to public customers.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30
days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along
with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \12\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\13\ the Commission
may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the Exchange
would be able to propose fees changes related to Professional Customers
on September 1, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest
because the proposal does not raise any new or novel issues. The
Exchange's proposal removes the current provision that requires the
Exchange to treat Professional Customers and Broker-Dealers in the
``same manner'' with respect to fees, which will allow the Exchange to
separately propose, if it so chooses, to set its fees competitively in
order to attract Professional Customer order flow, provided that such
competitive fees are consistent with the requirements of the Act and
the rules and regulations thereunder. The Commission notes that the
Exchange has representated that, to the extent it chooses to adopt fees
specific to Professional Customers, such fees would be equal to or less
than those charged to broker-dealers and would not be more favorable
than fees charged to public customers. Because this proposal does not
raise any new or novel issues with respect to the treatment of
Professional Customers, the Commission hereby waives the operative
delay and designates the proposed rule change operative upon
filing.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend 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. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \15\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

Draft Guidance for Industry on Pulmonary Tuberculosis: Developing
Drugs for Treatment; Availability

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the
availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ``Pulmonary
Tuberculosis: Developing Drugs for Treatment.'' The purpose of the
draft guidance is to assist sponsors in the development of
antimycobacterial drugs for the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis.
This guidance applies to the development of a single investigational
drug as well as development of two or more unmarketed investigational
drugs for use in combination.

DATES: Although you can comment on any guidance at any time (see 21 CFR
10.115(g)(5)), to ensure that the Agency considers your comment on this
draft guidance before it begins work on the final version of the
guidance, submit either electronic or written comments on the draft
guidance by February 4, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Submit written requests for single copies of the draft
guidance to the Division of Drug Information, Center for Drug

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry
entitled ``Pulmonary Tuberculosis: Developing Drugs for Treatment.''
The purpose of this draft guidance is to assist sponsors in the
development of antimycobacterial drugs for the treatment of pulmonary
tuberculosis.
    Tuberculosis remains endemic in the United States and is epidemic
in many parts of the world. Current treatment for tuberculosis involves
administration of multiple-drug regimens for a minimum of 6 months. The
development of new drugs for treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis
remains an important public health goal. Some of the public health
challenges to be addressed in the treatment of tuberculosis include:
(1) The administration of new drug regimens for shorter periods of
time; (2) new drugs that do not have drug-drug interactions with the
drugs used to treat human immunodeficiency virus/acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome; and (3) new drugs that are active in the
treatment of patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis. This draft
guidance addresses these issues in the context of clinical trial
designs for new drugs. The draft guidance addresses the complexities of
the superiority clinical trial design, where an investigational drug is
found to be superior on a clinical endpoint while ensuring that all
patients in trials receive appropriately active treatment regimens. The
draft guidance includes a discussion of noninferiority clinical trial
designs, with justification for a noninferiority margin in the setting
of treatment-shortening regimens. The draft guidance also discusses
clinical trials designed to include patients with drug-resistant
tuberculosis.
    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when
finalized, will represent the Agency's current thinking on ``Pulmonary
Tuberculosis: Developing Drugs for Treatment.'' It does not create or
confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA
or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach
satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations.

II. The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This draft guidance refers to previously approved collections of
information that are subject to review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520). The collections of information in 21 CFR part 312 and 21 CFR
part 314 have been approved under OMB control numbers 0910-0014 and
0910-0001, respectively.

III. Comments

    Interested persons may submit either electronic comments regarding
this document to http://www.regulations.gov or written comments to the
Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES). It is only necessary to
send one set of comments. Identify comments with the docket number
found in brackets in the heading of this document. Received comments
may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4
p.m., Monday through Friday, and will be posted to the docket at http://www.regulations.gov.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. RP07-616-000]

Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Tariff Filing

August 29, 2007.
    Take notice that on August 24, 2007, Northern Natural Gas Company
(Northern), tendered for filing in its FERC Gas Tariff, Fifth Revised
Volume No. 1 First Revised Second Revised Sheet No. 445, to be
effective September 24, 2007.
    Northern states that it is filing the above referenced tariff sheet
to provide PDD shippers with increased flexibility regarding their
deferred delivery points.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must
file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). Protests will be
considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to
be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of
intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices,
motions, or protests must be filed in accordance with the provisions of
Section 154.210 of the Commission's regulations (18 CFR 154.210).
Anyone filing an intervention or protest must serve a copy of that
document on the Applicant. Anyone filing an intervention or protest on

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-56322; File No. SR-Amex-2007-59]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; American Stock Exchange, LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To
Establish a Process for the Waiver, Deferral, or Rebate of Initial
Listing Fees for Certain Securities That Transfer From Another National
Securities Exchange

August 27, 2007.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on August 10, 2007, the American Stock Exchange, LLC (``Amex'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been substantially prepared by the Amex. The
Exchange has designated this proposal as a ``non-controversial''
proposed rule change under Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \3\ and Rule
19b-4(f)(6) thereunder,\4\ which renders the proposal effective upon
filing with the Commission. 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.
    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \4\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend Section 140 of the Amex Company
Guide (the ``Company Guide'') to provide a process for the deferral,
waiver, or rebate of all or any part of the initial listing fee
applicable to index fund shares, trust-issued receipts, commodity-based
trust shares, currency trust shares, paired trust shares, and
partnership units that transfer to the Amex.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available at Amex, the
Commission's Public Reference Room, and http://www.amex.com.

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 Exchange 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 Exchange 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
    Section 140 of the Company Guide currently provides that index fund
shares (defined as securities listed under Amex Rule 1000A-AEMI),
trust-issued receipts (defined as securities listed under Amex Rule
1200-AEMI), commodity-based trust shares (defined as securities listed
under Amex Rule 1200A-AEMI), currency trust shares (defined as
securities listed under Amex Rule 1200B-AEMI), paired trust shares
(defined as securities listed under Amex Rule 1400), and partnership
units (defined as securities listed under Amex Rule 1500-AEMI) \5\
initially listed on the Amex are subject to a $5,000 initial listing
fee for each series. The Securities are not subject to the initial
listing application processing fee. The Exchange is proposing to amend
Section 140 of the Company Guide to provide that the Board of Governors
of the Exchange (the ``Board'') or its designee may, in its discretion,
defer, waive, or rebate all or any part of the $5,000 initial listing
fee applicable to Securities that transfer from another marketplace to
the Amex (i.e., the issue becomes listed on Amex and ceases to be
listed on the other exchange).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Index fund shares, trust-issued receipts, commodity-based
trust shares, currency trust shares, paired trust shares, and
partnership units are collectively referred to in this filing as the
``Securities.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Board or its designee currently has the authority to defer,
waive, or rebate all or any part of the initial listing fees applicable
to stocks, bonds, and warrants \6\ and to closed-end funds that
transfer to the Amex from another marketplace.\7\ The Exchange believes
that the extension of such authority to Securities that transfer to the
Amex will enable the Exchange to respond to specific competitive
situations. This is particularly important given the fee waivers
currently offered by other markets to transferring issuers. For
example, the New York Stock Exchange (``NYSE'') recently amended its
Listed Company Manual to remove initial listing fees payable in
connection with transfers of any equity security, structured product,
or closed-end management investment company listed on another
exchange.\8\ Similarly, the Nasdaq Stock Market (``NASDAQ'') has waived
initial listing fees with respect to any security being transferred
from another exchange.\9 \
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 50270 (August 26,
2004), 69 FR 53750 (September 2, 2004) (SR-Amex-2004-70).
    \7\ See Securities Act Release No. 52408 (September 12, 2005),
70 FR 54971 (September 19, 2005) (SR-Amex-2005-024).
    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 55314 (February 20,
2007), 72 FR 8823 (February 27, 2007) (SR-NYSE-2007-17).
    \9\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 51004 (January 10,
2005), 70 FR 2917 (January 18, 2005) (SR-NASD-2004-140).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed authority to defer, waive, or rebate the $5,000
initial listing fee applicable to transferring Securities could be
exercised only by the Board or its designee. The Board has delegated
this authority to a staff committee which presently has the authority
to defer, waive, or rebate initial listing fees for transferring
closed-end funds.\10\ The committee is comprised of management
representatives from the Office of the Chairman and the ETF
Marketplace, Finance, and Listing Qualifications Departments.\11\ The
committee composition is intended to ensure that fee deferral, waiver,
and rebate requests receive an appropriate degree of scrutiny and are
only granted under circumstances in which a reduction is warranted for
competitive reasons. While the Exchange expects that the potential
deferral, waiver, or rebate of the initial listing fee applicable to
Securities will be attractive to issuers considering listing on the
Exchange, it is contemplated that such deferrals, waivers, or rebates
would be granted only infrequently to attract an important listing that
is likely to generate

significant transaction fee revenue.\12\ The proposed rule change will
not affect the Exchange's commitment of resources to its regulatory
oversight of the listing process or other regulatory programs.
Specifically, issuers of Securities that benefit from any deferral,
waiver, or rebate will be reviewed for compliance with Exchange listing
standards in the same manner as any other issuer that applies to be
listed on the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See supra, note 7.
    \11\ An affirmative vote of a majority of the committee members
attending a particular meeting (subject to a three-person quorum
requirement) would be necessary for deferrals, waivers, or rebates.
    \12\ If the committee determines to defer, waive, or rebate
listing fees in a comprehensive and/or recurring manner that would
constitute a stated policy, practice, or interpretation of an
existing rule, the Exchange would file an additional rule change
pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(1) with respect such policy, practice, or
interpretation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act \13\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \14\ in particular, in that it
will provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and
other charges among its members and issuers and other persons using its
facilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
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

    No written comments were either solicited or received by the
Exchange.

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \15\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\16\
Because the Exchange has designated the foregoing proposed rule as one
that: (i) Does not significantly affect the protection of investors or
the public interest; (ii) does not impose any significant burden on
competition; and (iii) does not become operative for 30 days from the
date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may
designate if consistent with the protection of investors and the public
interest, the proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\17
\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \16\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \17\ The Exchange provided written notice to the Commission of
its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief
description and text of the proposed rule change, at least five
business days prior to the date of filing, as is required by Rule
19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day
operative delay. The Commission believes that doing so is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest because the
proposal does not raise any novel regulatory issues. The proposed rule
is substantially similar to provisions in Nasdaq Rules 4510(a) and
4520(a) and Section 902.02 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.\18\ For
these reasons, the Commission designates the proposal to be operative
upon filing with the Commission.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ See supra, notes 8-9.
    \19\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the 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.

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
