SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-55081; File No. SR-CBOE-2007-02]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed
Rule Change To Amend Its Rule Pertaining to Accommodation Liquidations
(Cabinet Trades)

January 10, 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 January 8, 2007, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated
(``Exchange'' or ``CBOE'') 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 Exchange. The Exchange has designated this proposal as non-
controversial under Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \3\ and Rule
19b-4(f)(6) 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.

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend provisions in CBOE Rule 6.54
pertaining to accommodation liquidations (also referred to as ``cabinet
trades'') to provide that a Market-Maker may initiate a cabinet trade
without the need to place an order with an Order Book Official
(``OBO'') or a Floor Broker. The Exchange is also proposing to make
clear in the rule that a Floor Broker or a Market-Maker can enter into
an opening or closing cabinet transaction, but must yield priority to
all orders in the cabinet book. The text of the proposed rule change is
available at CBOE, the Commission's Public Reference Room, and http://www.cboe.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
    An ``accommodation'' or ``cabinet'' trade refers to trades in
listed options on the Exchange that are worthless or not actively
traded. Cabinet trading is generally conducted in accordance with
Exchange Rules; Exchange Rule 6.54, Accommodation Liquidations (Cabinet
Trades), sets forth specific procedures for engaging in cabinet trades.
Rule 6.54 currently provides for cabinet transactions to occur via open
outcry at a cabinet price of a $1 per option contract whether or not
the class trades on the Exchange's Hybrid Trading System.

    The first purpose of the rule change is to amend Rule 6.54 to
authorize Market-Makers to initiate cabinet trades. Thus, in addition
to the existing cabinet trading procedures which permit Market-Makers
to (i) place cabinet orders with an OBO \5\ or a Floor Broker for
representation and execution, and (ii) respond at a cabinet price in
response to a request for quote from an OBO or a Floor Broker, a
Market-Maker may now himself or herself initiate a cabinet trade in the
trading crowd without need to first place the cabinet order with an OBO
or Floor Broker. This will save the additional time and process
involved in a Market-Maker needing to first place a cabinet order that
he or she is initiating with an OBO or a Floor Broker, who would then
in turn represent and execute the order on behalf of the Market-Maker.
Thus, permitting Market-Makers to initiate cabinet orders and trades in
accordance with the procedures described in Rule 6.54 will provide
Market-Makers with additional flexibility and assist in the fair,
orderly and efficient handling of cabinet transactions on the
Exchange.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ A PAR Official may also perform the functions of an OBO. See
Interpretation and Policy .02 to Rule 6.54.
    \6\ The Exchange notes that permitting a Market-Maker to
initiate a cabinet trade is similar to and consistent with a recent
amendment to Rule 6.54 that permitted Floor Brokers to initiate
cabinet orders and trades. See Securities Exchange Act Release No.
53808 (May 16, 2006), 71 FR 29371 (May 22, 2006) (SR-CBOE-2006-33).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The second purpose of the rule change is to amend Rule 6.54 to make
clear that Floor Brokers or Market-Makers may enter into both opening
and closing cabinet transactions, so long as they first yield priority
to all orders in the cabinet book. Rule 6.54 currently provides that
bids and offers for cabinet transactions may be placed with an OBO,
provided that bids and offers for opening transactions may only be
placed with an OBO to the extent that the cabinet book maintained by
the OBO contains unexecuted contra closing orders with which the
opening orders may be immediately matched. In addition, Rule 6.54
currently provides that Floor Brokers are permitted to represent and
execute cabinet orders and also provides that bids and offers may be
provided by Floor Brokers and Market-Makers in response to a request by
an OBO or a Floor Broker, provided they yield priority to all orders in
the OBO's cabinet book. However, the existing rule text is silent as to
whether such orders represented by Floor Brokers and such bids and
offers provided by Floor Brokers and Market-Makers may be for opening
and closing transactions. In order to resolve any ambiguity that may
exist, the rule text is being amended to make clear that both opening
and closing transactions by Floor Brokers and Market-Makers are
permitted, so long as they first yield priority to all orders in the
cabinet book.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b) of the Act \7\ in general and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \8\ in particular in that it is designed 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 to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

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
proposal.

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 \9\ and subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder.\10\ Because the foregoing proposed rule change (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.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \11\ Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) requires the Exchange to give written
notice to the Commission of its intent to file the proposed rule
change at least five business days prior to filing. The Exchange
complied with this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally does
not become operative for 30 days after the date of filing. However,
Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) permits the Commission to waive the operative
delay if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and
the public interest. The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the
operative delay to permit the proposed rule change to become effective
prior to the 30th day after filing.
    The Commission has determined to waive the 30-day delay and allow
the proposed rule change to become operative immediately.\12\ The
Commission believes that CBOE's proposal to permit Market-Makers to
initiate cabinet trades without the need to go through an OBO or Floor
Broker should result in more efficient handling of cabinet
transactions. In addition, explicitly permitting Floor Brokers or
Market-Makers to enter into both opening and closing transactions
(provided that they yield to any existing orders in the cabinet book)
will eliminate ambiguity from the rule text. For these reasons, the
Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ For purposes only of waiving the operative delay of this
proposal, the Commission notes that it has considered the proposed
rule's impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See
15U.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

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 and Food and Drug Administration
Staff: Investigational New Drug Applications for Minimally Manipulated,
Unrelated Allogeneic Placental/Umbilical Cord Blood Intended for
Hematopoietic Reconstitution for Specified Indications; Availability

AGENCY:  Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION:  Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the
availability of a draft document entitled ``Guidance for Industry and
FDA Staff: Investigational New Drug Applications (INDs) for Minimally
Manipulated, Unrelated Allogeneic Placental/Umbilical Cord Blood
Intended for Hematopoietic Reconstitution for Specified Indications,''
dated October 2009. In this draft guidance, we refer to these products
for hematopoietic reconstitution for specified indications as
hematopoietic progenitor cells, cord (HPC-C). This draft guidance
provides advice to potential sponsors (e.g., generally cord blood
banks, or registries, and individual physicians serving as sponsor-
investigators) to assist in the submission of an IND for certain HPC-
Cs, when such HPC-Cs are not licensed in accordance with certain FDA
regulations, and when a suitable human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched
cord blood transplant is needed for treatment of a patient with a
serious or life-threatening disease or condition and there is no
satisfactory alternative treatment. This draft guidance document is
applicable only to HPC-Cs intended for hematopoietic reconstitution in
patients with the clinical indications listed in the guidance entitled
``Guidance for Industry: Minimally Manipulated, Unrelated Allogeneic
Placental/Umbilical Cord Blood Intended for Hematopoietic
Reconstitution for Specified Indications'' (HPC-C licensure guidance),
published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register. FDA is also
announcing that it no longer intends to exercise enforcement discretion
with respect to the IND and biologics license application (BLA)
requirements for minimally manipulated, unrelated allogeneic
hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell products and the phase-in
implementation period for IND and license application requirements will
end as of October 20, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a draft document entitled
``Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff: Investigational New Drug
Applications (INDs) for Minimally Manipulated, Unrelated Allogeneic
Placental/Umbilical Cord Blood Intended for Hematopoietic
Reconstitution for Specified Indications,'' dated October 2009. This
draft guidance provides advice to potential sponsors (e.g., generally
cord blood banks, or registries, and individual physicians serving as
sponsor-investigators), to assist in the submission of an IND for
certain HPC-Cs, when such HPC-Cs are not licensed in accordance with 21
CFR part 601, and when a suitable HLA matched cord blood transplant is
needed for treatment of a patient with a serious or life-threatening
disease or condition and there is no satisfactory alternative
treatment. This draft guidance document is applicable only to HPC-Cs
intended for hematopoietic reconstitution in patients with the clinical
indications as listed in the guidance entitled ``Guidance for Industry:
Minimally Manipulated, Unrelated Allogeneic Placental/Umbilical Cord
Blood Intended for Hematopoietic Reconstitution in Patients with
Specified Indications'' (HPC-C licensure guidance), published elsewhere
in this issue of the Federal Register.
    FDA is also announcing that it no longer intends to exercise
enforcement discretion with respect to IND and BLA requirements for
minimally manipulated unrelated allogeneic hematopoietic stem/
progenitor cell products and the phase-in implementation period for IND
and license application requirements for these products will end (see
the SUMMARY for the ending date). We encourage sponsors to send in
applications as soon as possible to allow sufficient time for review,
comment, and resubmission as needed to complete all actions by the end
of this 2-year period.
    In the Federal Register notice of January 20, 1998 (63 FR 2985),
FDA requested submission of comments proposing establishment controls,
process controls, and product standards designed to ensure the safety
and effectiveness of minimally manipulated unrelated allogeneic
hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell products derived from peripheral and
cord blood for hematopoietic reconstitution. Also, in the January 20,
1998, notice, FDA announced its intention to phase in implementation of
IND and license application requirements for minimally manipulated
unrelated allogeneic hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell products to
permit the development of licensing standards for those products where
possible.
    In the Federal Register notice of January 17, 2007 (72 FR 1999),
FDA announced the availability of the draft guidance entitled
``Guidance for Industry: Minimally Manipulated, Unrelated, Allogeneic
Placental/Umbilical Cord Blood Intended for Hematopoietic
Reconstitution in Patients with Hematological Malignancies,'' dated
December 2006. FDA received comments on the December 2006 draft
guidance and those comments were considered as the guidance was
finalized. The HPC-C licensure guidance finalizes the December 2006
draft guidance. Some of the comments received by FDA expressed the
importance of access and availability of HPC-C products that do not
meet the standards for licensure and therefore, cannot be licensed. FDA
recognizes the importance of providing guidance for such products and
is publishing this IND draft guidance for comment. The HPC-C licensure
guidance document is effective on its date of publication.
    This draft guidance is consistent with FDA's good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance when finalized
will represent FDA's current thinking on these topics. It does not
create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate
to bind FDA or the public. Alternative approaches may be used if such
approaches satisfy the requirements of the applicable statutes and
regulations.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This draft guidance refers to previously approved collections of
information found in FDA regulations. These collections of information
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 have been approved under
OMB Control No. 0910-0014; 21 CFR part 1271 have been approved under
OMB Control Nos. 0910-0559, 0910-0469, and 0910-0543; and FDA Form 1571
has been approved under OMB Control No. 0910-0014.

III. Comments

    The draft guidance is being distributed for comment purposes only
and is not intended for implementation at this time. Interested persons
may still, at any time, submit to the Division of Dockets Management
(see ADDRESSES) electronic or written comments regarding the draft
guidance. Submit a single copy of electronic comments or two paper
copies of any mailed comments, except that individuals may submit one
paper copy. Comments are to be identified with the docket number found
in brackets in the heading of this document. A copy of the draft
guidance and received comments are available for public examination in
the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday
through Friday.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-93276; File No. SR-CboeEDGX-2021-043]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc.; Notice
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To
Amend Its Fee Schedule

October 8, 2021.
    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 September 30, 2021, Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange''
or ``EDGX'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II 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

    Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``EDGX'' or ``EDGX
Equities'') proposes to amend its Fee Schedule. The text of the
proposed rule change is provided in Exhibit 5.
    The text of the proposed rule change is also available on the
Exchange's website (http://markets.cboe.com/us/options/regulation/rule_filings/edgx/), 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 proposes to amend its Fee Schedule applicable to its
equities trading platform (``EDGX Equities'') to modify the standard
rate for liquidity removing orders in securities priced at or above
$1.00, effective October 1, 2021.
    The Exchange first notes that it operates in a highly competitive
market in which market participants can readily direct order flow to
competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be
excessive or incentives to be insufficient. More specifically, the
Exchange is only one of 16 registered equities exchanges, as well as a
number of alternative trading systems and other off-exchange venues
that do not have similar self-regulatory responsibilities under the
Exchange Act, to which market participants may direct their order flow.
Based on publicly available information,\3\ no single registered
equities exchange has more than 17% of the market share. Thus, in such
a low-concentrated and highly competitive market, no single equities
exchange possesses significant pricing power in the execution of order
flow. The Exchange in particular operates a ``Maker-Taker'' model
whereby it pays rebates to members that add liquidity and assesses fees
to those that remove liquidity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Cboe Global Markets, U.S. Equities Market Volume
Summary, Month-to-Date (September 27, 2021), available at https://markets.cboe.com/us/equities/market_statistics/.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange's Fee Schedule sets forth the standard rebates and
rates applied per share for orders that provide and remove liquidity,
respectively. Currently, for orders in securities priced

at or above $1.00, the Exchange provides a standard rebate of $0.00160
per share for orders that add liquidity and assesses a fee of $0.00285
per share for orders that remove liquidity. For orders in securities
priced below $1.00, the Exchange provides a standard rebate of $0.00009
per share for orders that add liquidity and assesses a fee of 0.30% of
total dollar value for orders that remove liquidity. Now, the Exchange
proposes to increase the standard fee for liquidity removing orders in
securities priced at or above $1.00 from a fee of $0.00285 to $0.0030
per share. The Exchange proposes to reflect this change in the Fee
Codes and Associated Fee where applicable (i.e., corresponding to
standard fee codes N, W, 6, BB and ZR). The Exchange notes that the
proposed standard rate is in line with, yet also competitive with,
rates assessed by other equities exchanges on orders in securities
priced at $1.00 or more.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Nasdaq Pricing 7, Section 118(a)(1), which, for example,
assesses a charge of $0.0030 for member orders that execute against
resting midpoint liquidity, and that that execute in the Nasdaq
Market Center generally, in securities priced at $1.00 or more; and
NYSE American Equities Price List, NYSE American Trading Fees and
Credits, Section I.A.1.a, Standard Rates, which assesses a standard
rate of $0.0030 per share (unless member adds ADV of at least 10,000
shares) for orders in securities priced at or above $1 that remove
liquidity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 issuers and other persons
using its facilities. The Exchange also believes that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) \7\
requirements that the rules of an exchange 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, and, particularly, is not
designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers,
brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As described above, the Exchange operates in a highly competitive
market in which market participants can readily direct order flow to
competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be
excessive or incentives to be insufficient. The proposed rule changes
reflect a competitive pricing structure designed to incentivize market
participants to direct their order flow to the Exchange, which the
Exchange believes would enhance market quality to the benefit of all
Members.
    The Exchange believes that amending the standard rate for orders
that remove liquidity in securities priced at or above $1.00 is
reasonable because, as stated above, in order to operate in the highly
competitive equities markets, the Exchange and its competing exchanges
seek to offer similar pricing structures, including assessing
comparable standard fees for orders in securities priced at or above
$1.00.\8\ Thus, the Exchange believes the proposed standard rate change
is reasonable as it is generally aligned with and competitive with the
amounts assessed for the orders in securities at or above $1.00 on
other equities exchanges.\9\ The Exchange also believes that amending
this standard rate amount represents an equitable allocation of fees
and is not unfairly discriminatory because they will continue to
automatically apply to all Members' orders that remove liquidity in
securities at or above $1.00 uniformly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Supra note 3.
    \9\ Supra note 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule changes will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange does not believe
that the proposed changes represent a significant departure from
previous pricing offered by the Exchange or pricing offered by the
Exchange's competitors. 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 believes the proposed rule change does not impose any
burden on intramarket competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. Particularly, the proposed
rule change to update the standard fee applicable to liquidity removing
orders in securities priced at or above a $1.00 does not impose any
burden on intramarket competition because the standard rate will
continue to apply automatically and uniformly to all liquidity removing
orders priced at or above $1.00.
    Next, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change does not
impose any burden on intermarket competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. As previously
discussed, the Exchange operates in a highly competitive market.
Members have numerous alternative venues that they may participate on
and direct their order flow, including other equities exchanges, off-
exchange venues, and alternative trading systems. Additionally, the
Exchange represents a small percentage of the overall market. Based on
publicly available information, no single equities exchange has more
than 17% of the market share.\10\ Therefore, no exchange possesses
significant pricing power in the execution of order flow. Indeed,
participants can readily choose to send their orders to other exchange
and off-exchange venues if they deem fee levels at those other venues
to be more favorable. Moreover, the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the ``SEC'' or the ``Commission'') has repeatedly expressed its
preference for competition over regulatory intervention in determining
prices, products, and services in the securities markets. Specifically,
in Regulation NMS, the Commission highlighted the importance of market
forces in determining prices and SRO revenues and, also, recognized
that current regulation of the market system ``has been remarkably
successful in promoting market competition in its broader forms that
are most important to investors and listed companies.'' \11\ The fact
that this market is competitive has also long been recognized by the
courts. In NetCoalition v. Securities and Exchange Commission, the D.C.
Circuit stated as follows: ``[n]o one disputes that competition for
order flow is `fierce.' . . . As the SEC explained, `[i]n the U.S.
national market system, buyers and sellers of securities, and the
broker-dealers that act as their order-routing agents, have a wide
range of choices of where to route orders for execution'; [and] `no
exchange can afford to take its market share percentages for granted'
because `no exchange possesses a

monopoly, regulatory or otherwise, in the execution of order flow from
broker dealers' . . . .''.\12\ Accordingly, the Exchange does not
believe its proposed fee change imposes any burden on competition that
is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the
Act.

[File No. 500-1]

In the Matter of China Ruitai International Holdings Co., Ltd.;
Order of Suspension of Trading

September 30, 2013.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of
China Ruitai International Holdings Co., Ltd. (``China Ruitai'')
because of questions regarding the accuracy of assertions by China
Ruitai, concerning the characterization of certain liabilities in its
periodic reports, and because it has not filed any periodic reports
since the period ended September 30, 2011.
    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the
securities of the above-listed company.
    Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the securities of the
above-listed company is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EDT, on
September 30, 2013 through 11:59 p.m. EDT, on October 11, 2013.

    Rule 17g-2, ``Records to be made and retained by nationally

are 9 credit rating agencies registered with the Commission as NRSROs
under section 15E of the Exchange Act, which have already established
the record keeping policies and procedures required by Rule 17g-2.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2020-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-2030]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. The FIRM and
FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management measures that the
community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in
effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS
report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before August 10, 2020.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location https://www.fema.gov/preliminaryfloodhazarddata and the
respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables below.
Additionally,

the current effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are
accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-2030, to
Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400 C Street SW, Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Mapping and Insurance
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed flood hazard determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any
time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and are used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_overview.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location
https://www.fema.gov/preliminaryfloodhazarddata and the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the tables. For communities
with multiple ongoing Preliminary studies, the studies can be
identified by the unique project number and Preliminary FIRM date
listed in the tables. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-60362; File No. SR-FINRA-2009-046]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of
Proposed Rule Change To Update Rule Cross-References and Make Other
Various Non-Substantive Technical Changes to FINRA Rules

July 22, 2009.
    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 July 17, 2009, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(``FINRA'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC''
or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II
and III below, which Items have been prepared by FINRA. FINRA has
designated the proposed rule change as constituting a ``non-
controversial'' rule change under paragraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 under
the Act,\3\ which renders the proposal effective upon receipt of this
filing by 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\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    FINRA is proposing to correct or update certain cross-references
within certain FINRA rules that have been adopted in the consolidated
FINRA rulebook.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on FINRA's Web
site at http://www.finra.org, at the principal office of FINRA and at
the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    FINRA is in process [sic] of developing a new consolidated rulebook
(``Consolidated FINRA Rulebook'').\4\ That process involves FINRA
submitting to the Commission for approval a series of proposed rule
changes over time to adopt rules in the consolidated FINRA Rulebook.
The phased adoption and implementation of those rules necessitates
periodic amendments to update rule cross-references and other

non-substantive technical changes in the Consolidated FINRA Rulebook.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The current FINRA rulebook consists of (1) FINRA Rules; (2)
NASD Rules; and (3) rules incorporated from NYSE (``Incorporated
NYSE Rules'') (together, the NASD Rules and Incorporated NYSE Rules
are referred to as the ``Transitional Rulebook''). While the NASD
Rules generally apply to all FINRA members, the Incorporated NYSE
Rules apply only to those members of FINRA that are also members of
the NYSE (``Dual Members''). The FINRA Rules apply to all FINRA
members, unless such rules have a more limited application by their
terms. For more information about the rulebook consolidation
process, see FINRA Information Notice, March 12, 2008 (Rulebook
Consolidation Process).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change would make non-substantive changes to
FINRA Rule 2310 (Direct Participation Programs) and would also update
rule cross-references within FINRA Rules 5110 (Corporate Financing
Rule--Underwriting Terms and Arrangements), 5122 (Private Placements of
Securities Issued by Members), 5130 (Restrictions on the Purchase and
Sale of Initial Equity Public Offerings), 6635 (FINRA Rules), 9610
(Application), 12805 (Expungement of Customer Dispute Information under
Rule 2080) and 13805 (Expungement of Customer Dispute Information under
Rule 2080) that are needed as the result of Commission approval of two
recent FINRA proposed rule changes.\5\ In addition, with respect to
FINRA Rule 9610, the proposed rule change would update rule cross-
references to reflect the adoption of Rule 5122.\6\ FINRA has filed the
proposed rule change for immediate effectiveness. The implementation
date will be August 17, 2009, the date on which FINRA-2009-016 will
also be implemented (FINRA-2008-020 became effective on June 17, 2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59599 (March 19,
2009), 74 FR 12913 (March 25, 2009) (Order Approving File No. SR-
FINRA-2008-020) and Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59987 (May
27, 2009), 74 FR 26902 (June 4, 2009) (Order Approving File No. SR-
FINRA-2009-016).
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59599 (March 19,
2009), 74 FR 12913 (March 25, 2009) (Order Approving File No. SR-
FINRA-2008-020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,\7\ which requires, among
other things, that FINRA rules must be designed to prevent fraudulent
and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest. FINRA believes the proposed rule change will provide
greater clarity to members and the public regarding FINRA's rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

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

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

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

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

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule

Protection Specialist, FEMA, Grant Programs Directorate,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
[email protected]. You may contact the Records
Management Division for copies of the proposed collection of
information at email address: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA's Grant Programs Directorate (GPD)
awards thousands of grants each year through various grant programs.
These programs award funds for projects used to improve homeland
security and emergency preparedness. The National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (NEPA), Public Law 91-190, sec. 102 (B) and (C), 42 U.S.C.
4332, the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), Public Law
89-665, 16 U.S.C. 470f, the Endangered Species Act of 1973, Public Law
93-205, 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq., and a variety of other environmental
and historic preservation laws and Executive Orders (E.O.) require the
Federal Government to examine the potential environmental impacts of
its proposed actions on communities, public health and safety, and
cultural, historic, and natural resources including endangered and
threatened species prior to implementing those actions. The GPD process
of considering these potential impacts is called an environmental and
historic preservation (EHP) review which is employed to achieve
compliance with multiple EHP authorities through one consolidated
process.
    With input from recipients, FEMA is proposing to revise the EHP
Screening Form for clarity and ease of use. The 2022 EHP Screening Form
does not require any new information and includes an appendix with
guidance on providing photographs with the EHP submission. Recipients
are no longer required to submit Authorized Equipment List (AEL)
numbers.

Collection of Information

    Title: Environmental and Historic Preservation Screening Form.
    Type of Information Collection: Extension, with change, of a
currently approved information collection.
    OMB Number: 1660-0115.
    FEMA Forms: FEMA Form FF-119-FY-21-105 (formerly 024-0-1),
Environmental and Historic Preservation Screening Form.
    Abstract: The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)
requires that each Federal agency examine the impact of a major Federal
action (including the actions of recipients using grant funds)
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. This
involves considering the environmental impact of the proposed action,
alternatives to the proposed action, informing both decision-makers and
the public of the impacts through a transparent process, and
identifying mitigation measures for any potential adverse impacts (40
CFR 1500.1, 1501.5 and 1501.6). Among other environmental laws, the
review also involves considering the effects of the undertaking on
historic properties under Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act and the effects of the action on any threatened or
endangered species and their habitat under Section 7 of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973. This Screening Form will facilitate the Federal
Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's) review of recipient Federally-
funded actions in FEMA's effort to comply with the environmental
requirements.
    Affected Public: State, local or Tribal government; Not-for-Profit
Institutions.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,300.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 2,300.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 16,752.
    Estimated Total Annual Respondent Cost: $1,039,877.
    Estimated Respondents' Operation and Maintenance Costs: $0.
    Estimated Respondents' Capital and Start-Up Costs: $0.

    Estimated Total Annual Cost to the Federal Government: $6,153,716.

Comments

    Comments may be submitted as indicated in the ADDRESSES caption
above. Comments are solicited to (a) evaluate whether the proposed data
collection is necessary for the proper performance of the agency,
including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b)
evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.

Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Noise
Certification Standards for Subsonic Jet Airplanes and Subsonic
Transport Category Large Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information
collection. The collection involves the noise certification regulations
for aircraft. This includes information collection requirements for the
noise certification of subsonic aircraft--jet airplanes and subsonic
transport category large airplanes, small propeller driven airplanes
and rotorcraft. The information collected are the results of noise
certification tests that demonstrate compliance with 14 CFR part 36.
The original information collection was implemented to show compliance
in accordance with the Aircraft Noise Abatement Act of 1968; that
statute is now part of the overall codification of the FAA's regulatory
authority over aircraft noise. The noise compliance report is used by
the FAA in making a finding that the airplane is in noise compliance
with the regulations. These compliance reports are required only once
when an applicant wants to certificate an aircraft type. Without this
data collection, the FAA would be unable to make the required noise
certification compliance finding.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by December 21, 2020.

ADDRESSES: Please send written comments:
    By Electronic Docket: www.regulations.gov (Enter docket number into
search field).
    By mail: Sandy Liu, Attn: AEE-100, 800 Independence Ave. SW,
Washington, DC 20591.
    By fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information
collection.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sandy Liu by email at:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0659.
    Title: Noise Certification Standards for Subsonic Jet Airplanes and
Subsonic Transport Category Large Airplanes.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: The aircraft noise information collected are the
results of noise certification tests that demonstrate compliance with
14 CFR part 36. The original information collection was implemented to
show compliance in accordance with the Aircraft Noise Abatement Act of
1968; that statute is now part of the overall codification of the FAA's
regulatory authority over aircraft noise in 49 U.S.C. 44715. For this
renewal, the FAA proposes to maintain this PRA collection at 14 total
noise certification projects per year. Each applicant's collected
information is incorporated into a noise compliance report that is
provided to and approved by the FAA. The noise compliance report is
used by the FAA in making a

finding that the airplane is in noise compliance with the regulations.
These compliance reports are required only once when an applicant wants
to certificate an aircraft type. Without this data collection, the FAA
would be unable to make the required noise certification compliance
finding.
    Respondents: Aircraft manufacturer/applicant seeking type
certification.
    Frequency: Estimated 14 total applicants per year.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: Estimated 200 hours per
applicant for the compliance report.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: $25,000 per applicant or cumulative
total $350,000 per year for 14 applicants.

required, pursuant to Section 111(e) of the Emergency Economic
Stabilization Act of 2008, to include an advisory shareholder vote on

    Item 2: The Commission will consider whether to approve the
proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 4, filed by the New
York Stock Exchange, Inc. to amend NYSE Rule 452 and corresponding
Listed Company Manual Section 402.08 to eliminate broker discretionary
voting for the election of directors, except for companies registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and to codify two previously
published interpretations that do not permit broker discretionary
voting for material amendments to investment advisory contracts with an
investment company.
    Item 3: The Commission will consider whether to propose amendments
to rules under the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 and the Investment Company Act of 1940 to enhance the
disclosures that registrants are required to make about compensation
and other corporate governance matters, and to clarify certain of the
rules governing proxy solicitations.
    At times, changes in Commission priorities require alterations in
the scheduling of meeting items.
