SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-70669; File No. SR-EDGX-2013-38]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; EDGX Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Relating to
Amendments to the EDGX Exchange, Inc. Fee Schedule

October 11, 2013.
    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, 2013, EDGX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
``EDGX'') 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 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 Exchange proposes to amend its fees and rebates applicable to
Members \3\ of the Exchange pursuant to EDGX Rule 15.1(a) and (c)
(``Fee Schedule'') to add orders yielding Flag AA to the calculation of
the average daily trading (``ADV'') threshold required to meet the
MidPoint Match Volume Tier. The text of the proposed rule change is
available on the Exchange's Internet Web site at www.directedge.com, at
the Exchange's principal office, and at the Public Reference Room of
the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The term ``Member'' is defined as ``any registered broker or
dealer, or any person associated with a registered broker or dealer,
that has been admitted to membership in the Exchange. A Member will
have the status of a ``member'' of the Exchange as that term is
defined in Section 3(a)(3) of the Act.'' See Exchange Rule 1.5(n).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend its Fee Schedule to add orders
yielding Flag AA to the calculation of the ADV threshold required to
meet the MidPoint Match Volume Tier. Footnote 3 of the Fee Schedule
currently provides that Members may qualify for the MidPoint Match
Volume Tier and not be charged a fee for orders that yield Flag MM on
EDGX if they add and/or remove an ADV of at least 2,500,000 shares on a
daily basis, measured monthly, on EDGX, yielding flags MM (adds
liquidity to MidPoint Match using the Midpoint Match order type \4\)
and/or MT (removes liquidity from MidPoint Match using MidPoint Match
order type). The Exchange proposes to add orders yielding Flag AA
(MidPoint Match Cross (same MPID)) to the calculation of the ADV
threshold required to meet the MidPoint Match Volume Tier. The Exchange
appends Flag AA to buy and sell MidPoint Match Orders that
inadvertently match against each other and share the same MPID (Member
shares both sides of the trade). MidPoint Match Orders yielding Flag AA
would continue to be charged a rate of $0.0012 per share. The remainder
of the criteria required to meet the tier as well as the rate offered
by the tier would remain unchanged.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ As defined in Exchange Rule 11.5(c)(7), the Midpoint Match
Order is an order with an instruction to execute it at the midpoint
of the NBBO.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to implement these amendments to its Fee
Schedule on October 2, 2013.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the objectives of Section 6 of the Act,\5\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4),\6\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that adding orders yielding Flag AA to the
calculation of the ADV threshold required to meet the MidPoint Match
Volume Tier represents an equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees, and other charges because adding orders yielding Flag AA, like
Flags MM and MT, are designed to encourage Members to add liquidity at
the midpoint of the national best bid or offer (``NBBO'') to the EDGX
Book \7\ each month. The Exchange appends Flag AA to buy and sell
MidPoint Match Orders that inadvertently match against each other and
share the same MPID (Member shares both sides of the trade). MidPoint
Match Orders yielding Flag AA would continue to be charged a rate of
$0.0012 per share and only the liquidity added at the midpoint of the
NBBO (Flag MM) in this tier is not charged a fee. Both added and
removed liquidity in Flags AA, MM and MT would be counted towards
achieving the tier's ADV threshold. The Exchange believes that Members
utilizing MidPoint Match Orders that add liquidity at the midpoint of
the NBBO may receive the benefit of price improvement, and including
orders that yield Flag AA to the calculation of the ADV threshold of
the MidPoint Match Volume Tier would be a reasonable means by which to
further encourage the use of such orders. In addition, the Exchange
believes that by encouraging the use of MidPoint Match Orders, Members
seeking price improvement would be more motivated to direct their
orders to EDGX because they would have a heightened expectation of the
availability of liquidity at the midpoint of the NBBO. In addition, the
Exchange also believes that the proposed amendment to the MidPoint
Match Volume Tier is non-discriminatory because it applies uniformly to
all Members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The ``EDGX Book'' is defined as ``the System's electronic
file of orders.'' See Exchange Rule 1.5(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    These proposed rule changes do 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 any of these changes
represent a significant departure from previous pricing offered by the
Exchange or pricing offered by the Exchange's competitors.
Additionally, Members may opt to disfavor EDGX's pricing if they
believe that alternatives offer them better value. Accordingly, the
Exchange does not believe that the proposed changes will impair the
ability of Members or competing venues to maintain their competitive
standing in the financial markets.
    The Exchange believes that adding orders yielding Flag AA to the
calculation of the ADV threshold required to meet the MidPoint Match
Volume Tier would increase intermarket competition because it would
lead to more competition for orders that seek liquidity at the midpoint
of the NBBO. The Exchange believes that its proposal would neither
increase nor decrease intramarket competition because the MidPoint
Match Volume Tier would continue to apply uniformly to all Members and
the ability of some Members to meet the tier would only benefit other
Members by contributing to increased liquidity at the midpoint of the
NBBO and better market quality at 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 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)(A) of the Act \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) \9\ thereunder. At any
time within 60 days of the filing of such 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

[Docket No. CP21-492-000]

Rover Pipeline LLC; Notice of Scoping Period Requesting Comments
on Environmental Issues for the Proposed Rover-Brightmark Receipt and
Delivery Meter Station Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental document, that will discuss
the environmental impacts of the Rover-Brightmark Receipt and Delivery
Meter Station Project involving construction and operation of
facilities by Rover Pipeline LLC (Rover) in Lenawee County, Michigan.
The Commission will use this environmental document in its decision-
making process to determine whether the project is in the public
convenience and necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies regarding the project. As part of the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) review process, the Commission takes into account
concerns the public may have about proposals and the environmental
impacts that could result from its action whenever it considers the
issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. This
gathering of public input is referred to as ``scoping.'' The main goal
of the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the environmental
document on the important environmental issues. Additional information
about the Commission's NEPA process is described below in the NEPA
Process and Environmental Document section of this notice.
    By this notice, the Commission requests public comments on the
scope of issues to address in the environmental document. To ensure
that your comments are timely and properly recorded, please submit your
comments so that the Commission receives them in Washington, DC on or
before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 26, 2021. Comments may be
submitted in written form. Further details on how to submit comments
are provided in the Public Participation section of this notice.
    Your comments should focus on the potential environmental effects,
reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental
impacts. Your input will help the Commission staff determine what
issues they need to evaluate in the environmental document. Commission
staff will consider all written comments during the preparation of the
environmental document.
    If you submitted comments on this project to the Commission before
the opening of this docket on September 9, 2021, you will need to file
those comments in Docket No. CP21-492-000 to ensure they are considered
as part of this proceeding.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this project. State and local government
representatives should notify their constituents of this

proposed project and encourage them to comment on their areas of
concern.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a pipeline company
representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to
construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. The company
would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable easement agreement. You
are not required to enter into an agreement. However, if the Commission
approves the project, the Natural Gas Act conveys the right of eminent
domain to the company. Therefore, if you and the company do not reach
an easement agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation
proceedings in court. In such instances, compensation would be
determined by a judge in accordance with state law. The Commission does
not subsequently grant, exercise, or oversee the exercise of that
eminent domain authority. The courts have exclusive authority to handle
eminent domain cases; the Commission has no jurisdiction over these
matters.
    Rover provided landowners with a fact sheet prepared by the FERC
entitled ``An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I
Need To Know?'' which addresses typically asked questions, including
the use of eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission's
proceedings. This fact sheet along with other landowner topics of
interest are available for viewing on the FERC website (www.ferc.gov)
under the Natural Gas Questions or Landowner Topics link.

Public Participation

    There are three methods you can use to submit your comments to the
Commission. Please carefully follow these instructions so that your
comments are properly recorded. The Commission encourages electronic
filing of comments and has staff available to assist you at (866) 208-
3676 or [email protected].
    (1) You can file your comments electronically using the eComment
feature, which is located on the Commission's website (www.ferc.gov)
under the link to FERC Online. Using eComment is an easy method for
submitting brief, text-only comments on a project;
    (2) You can file your comments electronically by using the eFiling
feature, which is located on the Commission's website (www.ferc.gov)
under the link to FERC Online. With eFiling, you can provide comments
in a variety of formats by attaching them as a file with your
submission. New eFiling users must first create an account by clicking
on ``eRegister.'' You will be asked to select the type of filing you
are making; a comment on a particular project is considered a ``Comment
on a Filing''; or
    (3) You can file a paper copy of your comments by mailing them to
the Commission. Be sure to reference the project docket number (CP21-
492-000) on your letter. Submissions sent via the U.S. Postal Service
must be addressed to: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington, DC
20426. Submissions sent via any other carrier must be addressed to:
Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
12225 Wilkins Avenue, Rockville, Maryland 20852.
    Additionally, the Commission offers a free service called
eSubscription which makes it easy to stay informed of all issuances and
submittals regarding the dockets/projects to which you subscribe. These
instant email notifications are the fastest way to receive notification
and provide a link to the document files which can reduce the amount of
time you spend researching proceedings. Go to https://www.ferc.gov/ferc-online/overview to register for eSubscription.

Summary of the Proposed Project

    Rover has an Interconnect Agreement with Brightmark SunRyz RNG LLC
(Brightmark) for installation of the proposed meter station. The Rove-
Brightmark Receipt and Delivery Meter Station Project would allow Rover
to receive up to 1,600 dekatherms per day of natural gas from the
Brightmark Project and to allow Rover to deliver up to 100 dekatherms
per day of natural gas to fuel the Brightmark Renewable Natural Gas
Facility Equipment.
    The Rover-Brightmark Receipt and Delivery Meter Station Project
would consist of the following facilities constructed by Rover or
Brightmark:
     Rover would construct, own, and operate two, 2-inch-
diameter hot taps, two tap valves, 65 feet of interconnecting pipe (30
feet of receipt pipe and 35 feet of delivery pipe), two Coriolis Meter
Skids, gas quality building, a measurement building, and satellite
communications.
     Brightmark would construct and own the permanent access
road and the 2-inch-diameter delivery and receipt gas lines from its
facility to the proposed meter station.
    The general location of the project facilities is shown in appendix
1.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The appendices referenced in this notice will not appear in
the Federal Register. Copies of the appendices were sent to all
those receiving this notice in the mail and are available at
www.ferc.gov using the link called ``eLibrary''. For instructions on
connecting to eLibrary, refer to the last page of this notice. At
this time, the Commission has suspended access to the Commission's
Public Reference Room due to the proclamation declaring a National
Emergency concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19),
issued by the President on March 13, 2020. For assistance, contact
FERC at [email protected] or call toll free,<PHONE_NUMBER>
or TTY<PHONE_NUMBER>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the proposed facilities would disturb about 0.6
acre of agricultural land, of which 0.2 acre would be fenced and
maintained for the permanent operation of the meter station. Rover
would access the Project facilities using a permanent access road to be
constructed by Brightmark. This access road would be approximately
2,987 feet long, 20 feet wide, and affect approximately 1.4 acres of
land. Laydown for equipment and materials would be within the temporary
workspace associated with the meter station. No other land would be
required for construction or operation of the Project.

NEPA Process and the Environmental Document

    Any environmental document issued by the Commission will discuss
impacts that could occur as a result of the construction and operation
of the proposed project under the relevant general resource areas:
     Geology and soils;
     water resources and wetlands;
     vegetation and wildlife;
     threatened and endangered species;
     cultural resources;
     land use;
     air quality and noise; and
     reliability and safety.
    Commission staff will also evaluate reasonable alternatives to the
proposed project or portions of the project and make recommendations on
how to lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas. Your
comments will help Commission staff identify and focus on the issues
that might have an effect on the human environment and potentially
eliminate others from further study and discussion in the environmental
document.
    Following this scoping period, Commission staff will determine
whether to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) or an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS). The EA or the EIS will present Commission
staff's independent analysis of the issues. If Commission staff
prepares an EA, a Notice of Schedule for the Preparation of an
Environmental Assessment will be issued. The EA may be issued for an

allotted public comment period. The Commission would consider timely
comments on the EA before making its decision regarding the proposed
project. If Commission staff prepares an EIS, a Notice of Intent to
Prepare an EIS/Notice of Schedule will be issued, which will open up an
additional comment period. Staff will then prepare a draft EIS which
will be issued for public comment. Commission staff will consider all
timely comments received during the comment period on the draft EIS and
revise the document, as necessary, before issuing a final EIS. Any EA
or draft and final EIS will be available in electronic format in the
public record through eLibrary \2\ and the Commission's natural gas
environmental documents web page (https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/natural-gas/environment/environmental-documents). If eSubscribed, you
will receive instant email notification when the environmental document
is issued.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ For instructions on connecting to eLibrary, refer to the
last page of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With this notice, the Commission is asking agencies with
jurisdiction by law and/or special expertise with respect to the
environmental issues of this project to formally cooperate in the
preparation of the environmental document.\3\ Agencies that would like
to request cooperating agency status should follow the instructions for
filing comments provided under the Public Participation section of this
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Council on Environmental Quality regulations addressing
cooperating agency responsibilities are at Title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations, Section 1501.8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consultation Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act

    In accordance with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
implementing regulations for section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, the Commission is using this notice to initiate
consultation with the applicable State Historic Preservation Office(s),
and to solicit their views and those of other government agencies,
interested Indian tribes, and the public on the project's potential
effects on historic properties.\4\ The environmental document for this
project will document findings on the impacts on historic properties
and summarize the status of consultations under section 106.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's regulations
are at Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 800. Those
regulations define historic properties as any prehistoric or
historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in
or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic
Places.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-52633; File No. SR-Amex-2005-093]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; American Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To
Eliminate Rule 891 Relating to Transfer Agents

October 18, 2005.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ notice is hereby given that on September 19, 2005,
American Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'') filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change described
in Items I, II, and III below, which items have been prepared primarily
by Amex. Amex has designated the proposed rule change as constituting a
stated policy, practice, or interpretation with respect to the meaning,
administration, or enforcement of an existing rule, pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(i) of the Act,\2\ 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 parties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(i).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to eliminate Amex's Rule
891 relating to obsolete transfer agent requirements.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, Amex 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. Amex has prepared summaries, set forth in sections (A),
(B), and (C) below, of the most significant aspects of these
statements.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Commission has modified the text of the summaries
prepared by the Amex.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    On March 17, 2000, Amex amended its Company Guide to eliminate the
qualification of transfer agents, registrars, and bond trustees.\4\
Amex believed that the Commission's rules governing transfer agents
made Amex's rules unnecessary or inappropriate. However, at that time
Amex did not eliminate transfer agent requirements in its rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 42539 (March 17, 2000);
65 FR 15672 (March 23, 2000); [File No. SR-Amex-99-39].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The purpose of this filing is to conform Amex's rules to the
changes made to the Company Guide. Rule 891 of Amex's rules currently
lists the requirements to qualify as a transfer agent for securities
listed on Amex, which includes among other things a requirement to
maintain office facilities that are located south of Chambers Street in
the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, that allow the issuer to
receive and redeliver securities. In light of the amendments to the
Company Guide, Amex has determined that Rule 891 is obsolete and no
longer in use and proposes to eliminate that Rule 891.
    Section 6(b)(5) of the Exchange Act requires the Amex rules be
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 regulating, clearing,
settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitating
transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and
in general, to protect investors and the public interest. Amex believes
the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the
Exchange Act \5\ in general and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act \6\ and the rules and regulations thereunder because
it makes consistent the requirements of the Company Guide with the
requirements in Amex rules and further clarifies the compliance
obligations of transfer agents acting for issuers listed on Amex.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(B) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    Amex 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 relating to the proposed rule change have been
solicited or received. Amex will notify the Commission of any written
comments received by Amex.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective upon filing pursuant
to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(i) of the Act \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(1) \8\
thereunder because it constitutes a stated policy, practice, or
interpretation with respect to the meaning, administration, or
enforcement of an existing rule. At any time within sixty 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.

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(i).
    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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