Special Local Regulations and Safety Zones; Recurring Marine
Events and Fireworks Displays Within the Fifth Coast Guard District

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of enforcement of regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will enforce a safety zone for the fireworks
display taking place on the Chesapeake Bay near Chesapeake Beach, MD on
July 1, 2016. This is a change from the annually scheduled event on
July 3, 2016, as indicated in 33 CFR 165.506. This

action is necessary to ensure safety of life on navigable waters during
this event. Our regulation for Recurring Marine Events within the Fifth
Coast Guard District identifies the regulated area for this fireworks
display event. During the enforcement period, no person or vessel may
enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated area
without approval from the Captain of the Port or a designated
representative.

DATES: The regulations in 33 CFR 165.506, listed as event (b)10,
Chesapeake Bay, Chesapeake Beach, MD; Safety Zone, in the Table to 33
CFR 165.506 will be enforced from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on July 1,
2016; and in the case of inclement weather enforcement will be from
8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on July 3, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this
notice of enforcement, call or email Mr. Ron Houck, U.S. Coast Guard
Sector Maryland-National Capital Region (WWM Division); telephone 410-
576-2674, email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 4, 2016, the Coast Guard was
notified by the event sponsor that the date of this annual fireworks
display was rescheduled to accommodate the weekend dates of the
Independence Day Holiday for 2016. The time of the annual fireworks
display remains unchanged. The Coast Guard will enforce the safety zone
in 33 CFR 165.506 from 8:30 p.m. until 10:30 p.m. on July 1, 2016, for
the Town of Chesapeake Beach, MD fireworks display. This action is
being taken to provide for the safety of life on navigable waterways
during this event. Our regulation for Recurring Marine Events within
the Fifth Coast Guard District, Sec.  165.506, specifies the location
of the regulated area for this safety zone as two circular shaped areas
that include all waters of the Chesapeake Bay, within a 150 yard radius
of the fireworks barge at latitude 38[deg]41'36'' N., longitude
076[deg]31'30'' W. and a 150 yard radius of the fireworks barge at
latitude 38[deg]41'28'' N., longitude 076[deg]31'29'' W., located near
Chesapeake Beach, Maryland. As specified in Sec.  165.506(d), during
the enforcement period, no vessel may not enter, remain in, or transit
through the safety zone without approval from the Captain of the Port
(COTP) or a COTP designated representative. The Coast Guard may be
assisted by other Federal, state or local law enforcement agencies in
enforcing this regulation. If the COTP or his designated on-scene
Patrol Commander determines the regulated area need not be enforced for
the full duration stated in this notice, a Broadcast Notice to Mariners
may be used to grant general permission to enter the regulated area.
    This notice of enforcement is issued under authority of 33 CFR
165.506 (d) and 5 U.S.C. 552 (a). In addition to this notice of
enforcement in the Federal Register, the Coast Guard will provide

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To
Amend Rule 4751(f)(15)

 May 20, 2013.
    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 May 10, 2013, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (``NASDAQ'' or the
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') a 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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

    NASDAQ proposes to amend Rule 4751(f)(15). The text of the proposed
rule change is below. Proposed deletions are in brackets; new language
is italicized.
* * * * *

4751. Definitions

    The following definitions apply to the Rule 4600 and 4750 Series
for the trading of securities listed on Nasdaq or a national securities
exchange other than Nasdaq.
    (a)-(e) No change.
    (f) The term ``Order Type'' shall mean the unique processing
prescribed for

designated orders that are eligible for entry into the System, and
shall include:
    (1)-(14) No change.
    (15) ``Market Maker Peg Order'' is a limit order that, upon entry,
the bid or offer is automatically priced by the System at the
Designated Percentage away from the then current National Best Bid and
National Best Offer, or if no National Best Bid or National Best Offer,
at the Designated Percentage away from the last reported sale from the
responsible single plan processor in order to comply with the quotation
requirements for Market Makers set forth in Rule 4613(a)(2). Upon
reaching the Defined Limit, the price of a Market Maker Peg Order bid
or offer will be adjusted by the System to the Designated Percentage
away from the then current National Best Bid and National Best Offer,
or, if no National Best Bid or National Best Offer, to the Designated
Percentage away from the last reported sale from the responsible single
plan processor. If a Market Maker Peg Order bid or offer moves away
from the Designated Percentage towards the then current National Best
Bid or National Best Offer, as appropriate, by [the greater of (a) ]4
percentage points[, or, (b) one-quarter the applicable percentage
necessary to trigger an individual stock trading pause as described in
Rule 4120(a)(11), or expands to within that same percentage less 0.5%],
the price of such bid or offer will be adjusted to the Designated
Percentage away from the then current National Best Bid and National
Best Offer, or if no National Best Bid or National Best Offer, to the
Designated Percentage away from the last reported sale from the
responsible single plan processor. In the absence of a National Best
Bid or National Best Offer and if no last reported sale, the order will
be cancelled or rejected. If, after entry, the Market Maker Peg Order
is priced based on the consolidated last sale and such Market Maker Peg
Order is established as the National Best Bid or National Best Offer,
the Market Maker Peg Order will not be subsequently adjusted in
accordance with this rule until either there is a new consolidated last
sale, or a new National Best Bid or new National Best Offer is
established by either a national securities exchange or NASDAQ. Market
Maker Peg Orders are not eligible for routing pursuant to Rule 4758 and
are always displayed on NASDAQ. Notwithstanding the availability of
Market Maker Peg Order functionality, a Market Maker remains
responsible for entering, monitoring, and resubmitting, as applicable,
quotations that meet the requirements of Rule 4613. A new timestamp is
created for the order each time that it is automatically adjusted. For
purposes of this paragraph, NASDAQ will apply the Designated Percentage
and Defined Limit as set forth in Rule 4613, subject to the following
exception. Nothing in this rule shall preclude a Market Maker from
designating a more aggressive offset from the National Best Bid or
National Best Offer than the given Designated Percentage for any
individual Market Maker Peg Order. If a Market Maker designates a more
aggressive offset from the National Best Bid or National Best Offer,
the price of a Market Maker Peg Order bid or offer will be adjusted by
the System to maintain the Market Maker-designated offset from the
National Best Bid or National Best Offer, or if no National Best Bid or
National Best Offer, the order will be cancelled or rejected.
    (g)-(i) No change.
* * * * *

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

    In its filing with the Commission, NASDAQ 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
    NASDAQ is proposing to simplify the calculation of the price
adjustment trigger of the Market Maker Peg Order (``MMPO'') under Rule
4751(f)(15). The MMPO is an order type available only to Exchange
market makers that provides a means by which a market maker may comply
with its market making obligations under Rule 4613(a), but also
maintain an order price a certain percentage from the National Best Bid
or National Best Offer. The MMPO was adopted as a replacement to the
Exchange's automated quotation functionality, which was retired in
February 2013.\3\ When NASDAQ adopted the MMPO, it applied the same
triggering percentages used by AQR to initiate a repricing of the
market maker's quote. Specifically, MMPO price adjustment occurs if
upon entry and at any time the order exceeds either the Defined Limit
\4\, as described in Rule 4613(a)(2)(E), or moves away from the
Designated Percentage \5\ towards the then current National Best Bid or
National Best Offer, as appropriate, by the greater of (a) 4 percentage
points, or, (b) one-quarter the applicable percentage necessary to
trigger an individual stock trading pause as described in Rule
4120(a)(11), or expands to within that same percentage less 0.5
percent. Once price adjustment is triggered, the MMPO is priced by the
Exchange at the Designated Percentage away from the then current
National Best Bid and National Best Offer, or, if no National Best Bid
or National Best Offer, to the Designated Percentage away from the last
reported sale from the responsible single plan processor. In the
absence of a National Best Bid or National Best Offer and last reported
sale, the order will be cancelled or rejected. Adjustment to the
Designated Percentage is designed to avoid an execution against a MMPO
that would initiate a single stock circuit breaker.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The automated quotation functionality was previously under
Rules 4613(a)(2)(F) and (G). See Securities Exchange Act Release No.
68528 (December 21, 2012), 77 FR 77165 (December 31, 2012) (SR-
NASDAQ-2012-140).
    \4\ The term Defined Limit is defined by Rule 4613(a)(2)(E) as
9.5% for securities subject to Rule 4120(a)(11)(A), 29.5% for
securities subject to Rule 4120(a)(11)(B), and 31.5% for securities
subject to Rule 4120(a)(11)(C), except that between 9:30 a.m. and
9:45 a.m. and between 3:35 p.m. and the close of trading, when Rule
4120(a)(11) is not in effect, the Defined Limit shall be 21.5% for
securities subject to Rule 4120(a)(11)(A), 29.5% for securities
subject to Rule 4120(a)(11)(B), and 31.5% for securities subject to
Rule 4120(a)(11)(C).
    \5\ The Designated Percentage is the individual stock pause
trigger percentage under Rule 4120(a)(11) less two (2) percentage
points and is defined by Rule 4613(a)(2)(D) as 8% for securities
subject to Rule 4120(a)(11)(A), 28% for securities subject to Rule
4120(a)(11)(B), and 30% for securities subject to Rule
4120(a)(11)(C), except that between 9:30 a.m. and 9:45 a.m. and
between 3:35 p.m. and the close of trading, when Rule 4120(a)(11) is
not in effect, the Designated Percentage shall be 20% for securities
subject to Rule 4120(a)(11)(A), 28% for securities subject to Rule
4120(a)(11)(B), and 30% for securities subject to Rule
4120(a)(11)(C). The Designated Percentage for rights and warrants
shall be 30%.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In an effort to simplify the calculation of the price adjustment
trigger of the MMPO when it moves toward the National Best Bid or
National Best Offer, NASDAQ is proposing to eliminate the trigger based
on a one quarter of the applicable percentage necessary to trigger an
individual stock trading pause. As currently written, once a market
maker enters a MMPO Rule 4751(f)(15) requires NASDAQ to constantly
compare the 4 percent threshold to \1/4\ of the applicable Rule
4120(a)(11) percentage in order to

determine whether repricing to the Designated Percentage must occur.
For example, if a market maker enters a bid MMPO at 11am in a security
subject to Rule 4120(a)(11)(A) when the market is $10 x $10.01, it
would initially be priced at $9.20 (the Designated Percentage for such
securities is 8%). If the NBB moves within 4% of the MMPO to $9.57 (4%
is greater than \1/4\ of the 10% Rule 4120(a)(11)(A) trigger, which is
2.5%) the MMPO should reprice to the Designated Percentage away from
the then current NBB, which in this case would result in the MMPO
repricing to $8.80 ($9.57 x 92%). If, instead, the security was subject
to Rule 4120(a)(11)(B), it would be initially priced at $7.20 (the
Designated Percentage for such securities is 28%). If the NBB moves
within 7.5% of the MMPO to $7.74 (\1/4\ of the 30% Rule 4120(a)(11)(B)
trigger is 7.5%, which is greater than 4%) the MMPO should reprice to
the Designated Percentage away from the then current NBB, which in this
case would result in the MMPO repricing to $5.57 ($7.74 x 72%). Under
the proposed language, the MMPO in this last example would not reprice
when the NBB reaches $7.74, but rather reprice when the NBB reached
$7.49, which is within 4% of the MMPO. In this example, the MMPO would
then reprice to $5.39, which is the Designated Percentage from the NBB
of $7.49.
    NASDAQ believes that applying a 4 percent threshold to all
securities is a better method because it reduces complexity in
calculating the repricing trigger price by repricing only when the NBB
or NBO moves to within 4% of the MMPO price.\6\ NASDAQ notes that the
MMPO will operate unchanged for the larger, more liquid securities
covered by Rule 4120(a)(11)(A). Securities subject to Rule
4120(a)(11)(A) are always subject to the 4 percent threshold, since \1/
4\ of the Rule 4120(a)(11)(A) threshold of 10 percent equals 2.5
percent. Securities covered by Rules 4120(a)(11)(B) and (C) are less
liquid and, in the case of securities covered by subparagraph (C), are
below a dollar. Rules 4120(a)(11)(B) and (C) apply 30 and 50 percent
thresholds, respectfully, in triggering a single stock circuit breaker.
Therefore, the MMPO threshold for such securities, is \1/4\ of 30 and
50 percent, or 7.5 and 12.5 percent, respectively. As a consequence,
under the proposed change, the MMPO will not reprice to the Designated
Percentage until the price move percentage is closer to the National
Best Bid or National Best Offer than is currently the case (i.e., 4
percent as compared to 7.5 or 12.5 percent). NASDAQ does not believe
that this will in any way negatively affect trading in these
securities. A MMPO is not typically executed against and NASDAQ does
not believe that applying a 4 percent threshold to all securities will
materially increase the likelihood of an MMPO being executed. NASDAQ
will continue to adjust the price of a MMPO that reaches the Defined
Limit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ NASDAQ notes that the MMPO currently operates in the manner
proposed by this rule change. As such, the proposed change will
align the rule text with the current operation of the MMPO.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NASDAQ is also proposing to eliminate language from the rule text
that is duplicative of other descriptive language. Specifically, NASDAQ
is deleting the language that follows subparagraph (b) of the rule,
which states ``or expands to within that same percentage less 0.5%.''
This language summarizes the repricing of the MMPO upon reaching the
Defined Limit, which is described in the preceding sentence.
Accordingly, the proposed deletion does not change how the MMPO
operates, but rather deletes text that is redundant and could be
confusing.
2. Statutory Basis
    The statutory basis for the proposed rule change is Section 6(b)(5)
of the Act,\7\ which requires the rules of an exchange to promote just
and equitable principles of trade, 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. The
Exchange believes that the proposed rule meets these requirements in
that it reduces complexity in making the determination to adjust the
price of a MMPO. The Exchange notes that the calculation that it is
proposing will have no effect on securities subject to Rule
4120(a)(11)(A), but will result in securities covered by Rules
4120(a)(11)(B) and (C) to reprice to the Designated Percentage at a
point closer to the National Best Bid or National Best Offer. NASDAQ
does not believe that repricing at 4 percent for all securities will
result in a material increase in executions of MMPOs. Accordingly,
removing the price adjustment threshold based on a calculation of \1/4\
of the percentages under Rules 4120(a)(11)(B) and (C) will reduce the
complexity of calculations under the rule without reducing the
effectiveness of the order. Last, NASDAQ believes that removing
duplicative, and possibly confusing, language from the rule will
promote the public interest by clarifying the operation of the MMPO.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed
change is designed to reduce the complexity of the price adjustment
triggers under the rule while continuing to maintain a market maker's
quote so that it meets its market making obligations. Moreover, the
proposed change will align the rule text with the current operation of
the order type. As such, the Exchange does not believe that the rule
will impact competition in any way.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

    Because the foregoing 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)(ii) of the Act \8\ and
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(a)(ii).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

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