Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change To Amend Its Fees Schedule

May 21, 2014.
    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 May 19, 2014, Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (the
``Exchange'' or ``CBOE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described
in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by the
Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments
on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend its Fees Schedule. The text of the
proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), at the Exchange's
Office of the Secretary, 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 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
    The Exchange is proposing to update the text in its Fees Schedule.
First, the Exchange proposes to amend Footnote 21 of the Fees Schedule,
which currently states that ``All electronic executions in Hybrid 3.0
classes shall be assessed the Hybrid 3.0 Execution Surcharge, except
that this fee shall not apply to: (i) Orders in SPX options in the SPX
electronic book that are executed during opening rotation on the final
settlement date of VIX options and futures . . .'' As currently
provided, on the CBOE Volatility Index (``VIX'') settlement day, the
Exchange waives the Hybrid 3.0 Execution Surcharge for orders in S&P
500 Index (``SPX'') options in the SPX electronic book that are
executed during opening rotation on the final settlement date of VIX
options and futures. Currently, this exception encompasses all SPX
options in the SPX electronic book executed during the opening rotation
on final settlement date of VIX options and futures regardless of
whether those options had a bearing on the final settlement value.
Indeed, certain SPX options in the SPX electronic book that are
executed during opening rotation on the final settlement date of VIX
options and futures cannot be used to determine the final settlement
value of VIX. The Exchange seeks to amend this language to only exclude
from the Hybrid 3.0 Execution Surcharge those SPX options that are
executed during opening rotation and which have the expiration that
contribute to the VIX settlement calculation. This is because the only
way to participate in the settlement process is electronically; there
is no open outcry alternative. Therefore, the Exchange does not want to
assess a surcharge for the only possible method of participation in the
VIX settlement process. Additionally, since the VIX settlement value is
based upon SPX options, the Exchange does not believe it would be
appropriate to charge the surcharge to those SPX options that have the
expiration that is used in determining the final settlement value on
the final settlement date of VIX options and futures (as opposed to
those SPX options that cannot and do not have a bearing on the final
settlement value). The Exchange notes that as it relates to CBOE Short-
Term Volatility Index (``VXST'') options and futures,

Footnote 21 excepts from the assessment of the Hybrid 3.0 Execution Fee
SPX options that are executed during opening rotation and which are
used to determine the final settlement value on the final settlement
date of VXST options and futures.\3\ The Exchange is seeking to
similarly amend this language to exclude from the Hybrid 3.0 Execution
Surcharge only those SPX options that are executed during opening
rotation and which have the expiration that contribute to the VXST
settlement calculation. The Exchange believes that because the VXST
settlement value is also be [sic] based upon SPX options on the
standard third-Friday expiration, it is not appropriate to assess the
surcharge to those SPX options that are or can be used in determining
the final settlement value on the final settlement date of VXST options
and futures (as opposed to those SPX options that cannot and do not
have a bearing on the final settlement value). The Exchange believes it
is reasonable to apply the same fees and fees structure to SPX options
that have the expiration that is used to determine final settlement
value on settlement date of both VIX and VXST options and futures.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ VXST, because it expires weekly instead of monthly, uses
SPXW options to determine the 9-day VXST settlement value except for
the one week a month for which there are not expiring SPXW options.
That week is the standard third-Friday expiration, and for that
week, VXST uses SPX options to determine the 9-day VXST settlement
value.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Similarly, the Exchange next proposes to provide that it will waive
the SPXW Customer Priority Surcharge for orders in SPX Weeklys
(``SPXW'') options in the SPXW electronic book that are executed during
opening rotation and which have the expiration that contribute to the
VXST settlement calculation. Currently, Footnote 31 states that such
surcharge applies to all customer contracts executed electronically
``except those contracts executed by a floor broker using a PAR
terminal and orders in SPXW options in the SPXW electronic book that
are executed during opening rotation on the final settlement date of
VXST options and futures in which SPXW options are being used to
determine the final settlement value.'' The Exchange seeks to amend
this language and provide that the waiver of the SPXW Customer Priority
Surcharge is applicable for SPXW options in the SPXW electronic book
that are executed during opening rotation on the final settlement date
of VXST options and futures and which have the expiration that
contribute to the VXST settlement calculation. As explained above, the
Exchange does not want to assess a surcharge for the only possible
method of participation in the VXST settlement process, but wants to
limit this exception to those options which have the expiration that
contributed to the VXST settlement calculation on the final settlement
date.
    Lastly, the Exchange wishes to make a clarification regarding the
option classes included in the Customer Large Trade Discount program.
This proposed change is solely administrative and clarifying and will
not amend any current fees. The Customer Large Trade Discount program
(the ``Discount'') provides a discount in the form of a cap on the
quantity of customer (``C'' origin code'') contracts that are assessed
transactions fees in certain options classes. The Discount table in the
Fees Schedule sets forth the quantity of contracts necessary for a
large customer trade to qualify for the Discount, which varies by
product. Currently, under the ``Products'' section in the Discount
table, the following S&P products for which the Discount is in effect
are listed: ``SPX, SPXpm, SRO.'' Customer transaction fees for each of
these products are only charged up to the first 10,000 contracts.
Currently, SPX Weeklys (``SPXW'') and SPX Quarterlys (``SPXQ'') are not
separately spelled out in the Discount table, as SPXW and SPXQ fall
within the universe of SPX transactions. The Exchange is proposing
however, to clarify and make clear in the text of the Fees Schedule
that the term ``SPX'' is intended to include SPXW and SPXQ options. The
Exchange notes that the term ``SPX'' has been interpreted to date to
include SPXW and SPXQ options for purposes of the Discount program. The
Exchange believes the proposed rule change will make it clear to all
market participants that the term ``SPX'' as used in the Discount table
includes SPXW and SPXQ options. The Exchange believes the proposed
addition of rule text will provide greater clarity for customers and
will allow market participants to better understand how fees are
applied.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular,
the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\4\ Specifically, the
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with Section
6(b)(4) of the Act,\5\ which requires that Exchange rules provide for
the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges
among its Trading Permit Holders and other persons using its
facilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed changes to Footnote 21
related to the Hybrid 3.0 Execution Surcharge and Footnote 31 related
to the SPXW Customer Priority Surcharge are reasonable because they
will result in market participants at times not being required to pay
these surcharges for SPX and/or SPXW transactions in the circumstances
described. The Exchange believes it is equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory to exclude from the Hybrid 3.0 Execution Surcharge and
SPXW Customer Priority Surcharge only those options that are executed
during opening rotation and which have the expiration that contribute
to the VIX or VXST settlement calculation because, as discussed above,
the VIX and VXST settlement values are based upon those SPX or SPXW
options and the Exchange therefore wants to encourage trading in those
options at the opening on settlement days. Additionally, the Exchange
believes the proposed rule change will encourage the trading of SPX and
SPXW options that have the expiration that contribute to the VIX or
VXST settlement calculation at the opening on settlement days, which
will provide additional liquidity and enhance competition in those
securities, which ultimately benefits all CBOE TPHs and all investors.
    Finally, the Exchange believes the amendment to the Customer Large
Trade Discount table will promote just and equitable principles of
trade by clarifying to Trading Permit Holders that SPXW and SPXQ fall
within the universe of transactions for purposes of the Discount
program, thereby eliminating potential confusion and removing
impediments to and perfecting the mechanism of a free and open market
and a national market system. Providing a clearer representation of
fees in the Exchange fee schedule will remove any confusion that may
exist with the current wording in the Fees Schedule. The proposed
changes are equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because bringing
clarity to the Exchange Fees Schedule benefits all Trading Permit
Holders.

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

    CBOE 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. CBOE does not believe that the
proposed rule

change will impose any burden on intramarket competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act
because all of the proposed changes will apply to all market
participants. CBOE does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on intermarket competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act because the
proposed changes only apply to trading on CBOE. To the extent that any
of the proposed changes makes CBOE a more attractive market for market
participants on other exchanges, such market participants may elect to
become market participants on CBOE.

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

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.

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)(A) of the Act \6\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \7\
thereunder. 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 will institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31485Amdt. No. 4059]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or removes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPS) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure procedures (ODPs) for operations at certain
airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption
of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the
National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective May 23, 2023. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of May 23, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

Availability

    All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available online free
of charge. Visit the National Flight Data Center at nfdc.faa.gov to
register. Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP
copies may be obtained from the FAA Air Traffic Organization Service

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    This rule amends 14 CFR part 97 by establishing, amending,
suspending, or removes SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and/or ODPS. The
complete regulatory description of each SIAP and its associated Takeoff
Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed on FAA form
documents which are incorporated by reference in this amendment under 5
U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR part 97.20. The applicable FAA
Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A, 8260-15B, when required by an
entry on 8260-15A, and 8260-15C.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, their complex
nature, and the need for a special format make publication in the
Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use
the regulatory text of the SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead
refer to their graphic depiction on charts printed by publishers or
aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages of incorporation by
reference are realized and publication of the complete description of
each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the typed of SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs

with their applicable effective dates. This amendment also identifies
the airport and its location, the procedure, and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPS, Takeoff
Minimums and/or ODPs as identified in the amendatory language for Part
97 of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flights safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less
than 30 days. For the remaining SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPs and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and contrary
to the public interest and, where applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d),
good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    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.
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. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-81866; File No. SR-BatsBZX-2017-65]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Bats BZX Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change Related to
Fees for Use on the Exchange's Equity Options Platform

October 12, 2017.
    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 October 2, 2017, Bats BZX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
``BZX'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II
and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Exchange has designated the proposed rule change as one establishing or
changing a member due, fee, or other charge imposed by the Exchange
under Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2)
thereunder,\4\ which renders the proposed rule change effective upon
filing with the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii).
    \4\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange filed a proposal to amend the fee schedule applicable
to Members \5\ and non-Members of the Exchange pursuant to BZX Rules
15.1(a) and (c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The term ``Member'' is defined as ``any registered broker or
dealer that has been admitted to membership in the Exchange.'' See
Exchange Rule 1.5(n).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
Web site at www.bats.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 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 parts of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend its fee schedule for its equity
options platform (``BZX Options'') to adopt a new Firm,\6\ Broker
Dealer \7\ and Joint Back Office \8\ Non-Penny Pilot \9\ Add Volume
Tier under footnote 8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ ``Firm'' applies to any transaction identified by a Member
for clearing in the Firm range at the OCC, excluding any Joint Back
Office transaction. See the Exchange's fee schedule available at
http://www.bats.com/us/options/membership/fee_schedule/bzx/.
    \7\ ``Broker Dealer'' applies to any order for the account of a
broker dealer, including a foreign broker dealer, that clears in the
Customer range at the Options Clearing Corporation (``OCC''). Id.
    \8\ ``Joint Back Office'' applies to any transaction identified
by a Member for clearing in the Firm range at the OCC that is
identified with an origin code as Joint Back Office. A Joint Back
Office participant is a Member that maintains a Joint Back Office
arrangement with a clearing broker-dealer. Id.
    \9\ ``Penny Pilot Securities'' are those issues quoted pursuant
to Exchange Rule 21.5, Interpretation and Policy .01. Id. ``Non-
Penny Pilot'' refers to all other issues.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange currently offers three Firm, Broker Dealer and Joint
Back Office Non-Penny Add Volume Tiers under footnote 8, which provide
an enhanced rebate ranging from $0.33 to $0.82 per contract for
qualifying orders that add liquidity in Non Penny Pilot Securities and
yield fee code NF.\10\ The Exchange now proposes to add a new Tier 3
and to re-number current Tier 3 as Tier 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ Fee code NF is appended to Firm, Broker Dealer and Joint
Back Office orders in Non-Penny Pilot Securities that add liquidity.
Orders that yield fee code NF are provided a standard rebate of
$0.30 per contract. Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently under Tier 3, to be re-numbered as Tier 4, a Member's
orders that yield fee code NF receive an enhanced rebate of $0.82 per
contract where the Member has an: (i) ADV \11\ greater than or equal to
2.30% of average OCV; \12\ (ii) ADAV \13\ in Away Market Maker,\14\
Firm, Broker Dealer and Joint Back Office orders greater than or equal
to 1.65% of average OCV; and (iii) ADAV in Non-Customer \15\ Non-Penny
\16\ orders greater than or equal to 0.20% of average OCV. The Exchange
proposes to adopt new Tier 3, which would be similar to re-numbered
Tier 4 but would have lower criteria and a lower rebate. Specifically,
pursuant to new Tier 3 a Member's orders that yield fee code NF would
receive an enhanced rebate of $0.53 per contract where the Member has
an: (i) ADV greater than or equal to 2.30% of average OCV; (ii) ADAV in
Away Market Maker, Firm, Broker Dealer and Joint Back Office orders
greater than or equal to 1.45% of average OCV; and (iii) ADAV in Non-
Customer Non-Penny orders greater than or equal to 0.20% of average
OCV. Thus, the second criterion is lower, requiring an ADAV in
applicable orders greater than or equal to 1.45% of average OCV rather
than 1.65% of average OCV. Otherwise the criteria of Tier 3 are the
same as Tier 4. The Exchange also notes that the proposed enhanced
rebate of $0.53 is also the same as the enhanced rebate provided
pursuant to Tier 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ ``ADV'' means average daily volume calculated as the number
of contracts added or removed, combined, per day. Id.
    \12\ ``OCV'' means the total equity and ETF options volume that
clears in the Customer range at the Options Clearing Corporation
(``OCC'') for the month for which the fees apply, excluding volume
on any day that the Exchange experiences an Exchange System
Disruption and on any day with a scheduled early market close. Id.
    \13\ ``ADAV'' means average daily added volume calculated as the
number of contracts added per day. See the Exchange's fee schedule
available at http://www.bats.com/us/options/membership/fee_schedule/bzx/.
    \14\ ``Away Market Maker'' applies to any transaction identified
by a Member for clearing in the Market Maker range at the OCC, where
such Member is not registered with the Exchange as a Market Maker,
but is registered as a market maker on another options exchange. Id.
    \15\ ``Non-Customer'' applies to any transaction identified by a
Member for clearing which is not in the Customer range at the OCC,
excluding any transaction for a Broker Dealer or a ``Professional''
as defined in Exchange Rule 16.1. Id.
    \16\ ``Penny Pilot Securities'' are those issues quoted pursuant
to Exchange Rule 21.5, Interpretation and Policy .01. Id. Non-Penny
securities are all other securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Implementation Date
    The Exchange proposes to implement the above changes to its fee
schedule on October 2, 2017.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule changes are consistent

with the objectives of Section 6 of the Act,\17\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4),\18\ in particular, as it is
designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees and other charges among its Members and other persons using its
facilities. The Exchange believes that the proposed modification to the
Exchange's tiered pricing structure is reasonable, fair and equitable,
and non-discriminatory. The Exchange operates in a highly competitive
market in which market participants may readily send order flow to many
competing venues if they deem fees at the Exchange to be excessive or
incentives provided to be insufficient. The proposed structure remains
intended to attract order flow to the Exchange by offering market
participants a competitive pricing structure. The Exchange believes it
is reasonable to offer and incrementally modify incentives intended to
help to contribute to the growth of the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \18\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Volume-based pricing structures such as that maintained by the
Exchange have been widely adopted by exchanges, including the Exchange,
and are equitable because they are open to all Members on an equal
basis and provide additional benefits or discounts that are reasonably
related to: (i) The value to an exchange's market quality; (ii)
associated higher levels of market activity, such as higher levels of
liquidity provisions and/or growth patterns; and (iii) introduction of
higher volumes of orders into the price and volume discovery processes.
In particular, the proposed change to footnote 8 is a minor change
intended to provide an incentive similar to an existing incentive but
that is more attainable. The proposed incentive, in turn, is intended
to incentivize Members to send increased order flow to the Exchange in
an effort to qualify for the enhanced rebates made available by the
tier. This increased order flow, in turn, contributes to the growth of
the Exchange. The Exchange also believes the rebate associated with the
tier is reasonable as it reflects the difficulty in achieving the tier
and is the same as that provided under a different volume tier (Tier
2). These incentives remain reasonably related to the value to the
Exchange's market quality associated with higher levels of market
activity, including liquidity provision and the introduction of higher
volumes of orders into the price and volume discovery processes. The
proposed change to the tiered pricing structure is not unfairly
discriminatory because it will apply equally to all Members.

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

    The Exchange believes the proposed amendment to its fee schedule
would not impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange
does not believe that the proposed change represents a significant
departure from previous pricing offered by the Exchange or pricing
offered by the Exchange's competitors. Additionally, Members may opt to
disfavor the Exchange's pricing if they believe that alternatives offer
them better value. Accordingly, the Exchange does not believe that the
proposed change will impair the ability of Members or competing venues
to maintain their competitive standing in the financial markets. The
Exchange does not believe that the proposed change to the Exchange's
tiered pricing structure burdens competition, but instead, enhances
competition, as it is intended to increase the competitiveness of the
Exchange.

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 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)(A) of the Act \19\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder.\20\ 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.

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

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2017-0017]

Petition for Extension of Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice that on July 29, 2022,\1\ Norfolk
Southern Corporation (NS) petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for an extension of a waiver of compliance from
certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained
at 49 CFR part 236 (Rules, Standards, and Instructions Governing the
Installation, Inspection, Maintenance, and Repair of Signal and Train
Control Systems, Devices, and Appliances). The relevant FRA Docket
Number is FRA-2017-0017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ On October 13, 2022, NS submitted a revised petition. Both
the original and revised petitions are available in the docket
(https://www.regulations.gov/document/FRA-2017-0017-0007).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Specifically, NS requests a waiver extension from Sec.  236.566,
Locomotive of each train operating in train stop, train control or cab
signal territory; equipped, for: (1) all operations between and
including the limits of control point (CP) Bright at mile post (MP) PC
28.2 and CP West Conway at MP PC 24.5; and (2) all movements on the
Fort Wayne Line Tracks #1 and #2, both to and from CP Rochester, at MP
PC 25.9 on the Cleveland Line, CP Bright on the Youngstown Line, and
the yard tracks at East Conway. In support of its request, NS states
that any movement directed by this relief will be at restricted speed
and an absolute block will be established in advance of each movement.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment and a

public hearing, they should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of
the comment period and specify the basis for their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be submitted at http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting
comments.
    Communications received by January 3, 2023 will be considered by
FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date
will be considered if practicable. Anyone can search the electronic
form of any written communications and comments received into any of
our dockets by the name of the individual submitting the comment (or
signing the document, if submitted on behalf of an association,
business, labor union, etc.). Under 5 U.S.C. 553(c), the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) solicits comments from the public to
better inform its processes. DOT posts these comments, without edit,
including any personal information the commenter provides, to

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Massachusetts has applied to the EPA for final authorization
of revisions to its hazardous waste program under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended. The EPA proposes to
grant final authorization to Massachusetts for these revisions by a
direct final rule, which can be found in the ``Rules and Regulations''
section of this issue of the Federal Register. We have explained the
reasons for this authorization in the preamble to the direct final
rule. Unless the EPA receives written comments that oppose this
authorization during the comment period, the direct final rule will
become effective on the date it establishes, and the EPA will not take
further action on this proposal.

DATES: Send your written comments by February 3, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R01-
RCRA-2020-0175, at https://www.regulations.gov/. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot
be edited or removed from www.regulations.gov. The EPA may publish any
comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI)
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA
will generally not consider comments or comment contents located
outside of the primary submission (i.e., on the web, cloud, or other
file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full the
EPA public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia
submissions, and general guidance on making effective comments, please

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
this issue of the Federal Register, the EPA is authorizing the
revisions by a direct final rule. The EPA did not make a proposal prior
to the direct final rule because we believe this action is not
controversial and do not expect comments that oppose it. We have
explained the reasons for this authorization in the preamble of the
direct final rule. Unless the EPA receives adverse written comments
that oppose this authorization during the comment period, the direct
final rule will become effective on the date it establishes, and the
EPA will not take further action on this proposal. If the EPA receives
comments that oppose this action, we will withdraw the direct final
rule, and it will not take effect. The EPA will then respond to public
comments in a later final rule based on this

proposal. You may not have another opportunity for comment. If you want
to comment on this action, you must do so at this time. For additional
information, please see the direct final rule published in the ``Rules
and Regulations'' section of this issue of the Federal Register.

    Authority:  This proposed action is issued under the authority
of Sections 2002(a), 3006 and 7004(b) of the Solid Waste Disposal
Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6912(a), 6926, 6974(b).
