SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-79710; File No. SR-NYSE-2016-89]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To
Amend Its Price List

December 29, 2016.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that, on December 16, 2016, New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE''
or the ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I,
II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by the self-
regulatory organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend its Price List, effective January 3,
2017, to (i) waive new firm application fees for applicants seeking
only to obtain a bond trading license (``BTL'') for 2017; and (ii)
waive the BTL fee for 2017. The proposed rule change is available on
the Exchange's Web site at www.nyse.com, at the principal office of the
Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend its Price List, effective January 3,
2017, to (i) waive new firm application fees for applicants seeking
only to obtain a BTL for 2017; and (iii) waive the BTL fee for 2017.
The Exchange proposes to implement the fee changes effective January 3,
2017.
    The Exchange proposes to waive the New Firm Fee for 2017 for new
member organization applicants that are seeking only to obtain a BTL
and not trade equities at the Exchange. The Exchange currently charges
a New Firm Fee ranging from $2,500 to $20,000, depending on the type of
firm, that is charged per application for any broker-dealer that
applies to be approved as an Exchange member organization. The proposed
waiver of the New Firm Fee would be available only to applicants
seeking approval as a new member organization, including carrying
firms, introducing firms, or non-public organizations, that would be
seeking to obtain a BTL at the Exchange and not trade equities.
Further, if a new firm that is approved as a member organization and
has had the New Firm Fee waived converts a BTL to a full trading
license within one year of approval, the New Firm Fee would be charged
retroactively. The Exchange believes that charging the New Firm Fee
retroactively within a year of approval is appropriate because it would
discourage applicants to claim that they are applying for a BTL solely
to avoid New Firm Fees.
    Additionally, the Exchange currently charges a BTL fee of $1,000
per year. The Exchange proposes to amend the Price List to waive the
BTL fee for 2017.
    The Exchange believes that the proposed fee changes would provide
increased incentives for bond trading firms that are not currently
Exchange member organizations to apply for Exchange membership and a
BTL. The Exchange believes that having more member organizations
trading on the Exchange's bond platform would benefit investors through
the additional display of liquidity and increased execution
opportunities in Exchange-traded bonds at the Exchange.
    The proposed change is not otherwise intended to address any other
issues, and the Exchange is not aware of any problems that members and
member organizations would have in complying with the proposed change.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\4\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,\5\ in
particular, because it provides for the equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its members, issuers and
other persons using its facilities and does not unfairly discriminate
between customers, issuers, brokers or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange believes that it is reasonable to waive the New Firm
Fee and the annual BTL fee for 2017 to provide an incentive for bond
trading firms to apply for Exchange membership and a BTL. The Exchange
believes that providing an incentive for bond trading firms that are
not currently Exchange member organizations to apply for membership and
a BTL would encourage market participants to become members of the
Exchange and bring additional liquidity to the only transparent bond
market. To the extent the existing New Firm Fees or the BTL fee serves
as a disincentive for bond trading firms to become Exchange member
organizations, the Exchange believes that the proposed fee change could
expand the number of firms eligible to trade bonds on the Exchange. The
Exchange believes creating incentives for bond trading firms to trade
bonds on the Exchange protects investors and the public interest by
increasing the competition and liquidity on the only transparent market
for bond trading. The proposed waiver of the New Firm Fee and BTL fee
is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because it would be
offered to all market participants that wish to trade at the Exchange
the narrower class of debt securities only.
    Finally, recognizing the statements of Commissioners who have
expressed concern about the state of the U.S. corporate and municipal
bond markets as well as recommendations outlined in the Commission's
release of its Report on the Municipal Securities Market (Report), the
Exchange believes that expanding the number of member organizations
eligible to trade bonds at the Exchange would be an important element
in the democratization of the fixed income market.\6\ As highlighted in

SEC Chair White's statement during the SEC's 2013 Roundtable on Fixed
Income Markets, the Report makes recommendations that include (1)
improving pre- and post-trade transparency; (2) promoting the use of
transparent and open trading venues, and (3) requiring dealers to seek
``best execution'' for customers and to provide customers with relevant
pricing information in connection with their transactions.\7\ Achieving
these recommendations and applying them to both the municipal and
corporate bond markets would, in the Exchange's view, assist in
lowering the systemic risk that is anticipated to increase as interest
rates rise and the closed network of bond trading comes under pressure
as retirement and pension managers seek to adjust their positions.

Roundtable on Fixed Income Markets. http://www.sec.gov/News/Speech/Detail/Speech/1365171515300.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    In accordance with Section 6(b)(8) of the Act,\8\ the Exchange
believes that the proposed rule change would not impose any burden on
competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. Debt securities typically trade in a decentralized
over-the-counter (``OTC'') dealer market that is less liquid and
transparent than the equities markets. The Exchange believes that the
proposed change would increase competition with these OTC venues by
reducing the cost of being approved as and operating as an Exchange
member organization that solely trades bonds at the Exchange, which the
Exchange believes will enhance market quality through the additional
display of liquidity and increased execution opportunities in Exchange-
traded bonds at the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange notes that it operates in a highly competitive market
in which market participants can readily favor competing venues that
are not transparent. In such an environment, the Exchange must
continually review, and consider adjusting its fees and rebates to
remain competitive with other exchanges as well as with alternative
trading systems and other venues that are not required to comply with
the statutory standards applicable to exchanges. Because competitors
are free to modify their own fees and credits in response, and because
market participants may readily adjust their order routing practices,
the Exchange believes that the degree to which fee changes in this
market may impose any burden on competition is extremely limited. As a
result of all of these considerations, the Exchange does not believe
that the proposed change will impair the ability of member
organizations or competing order execution venues to maintain their
competitive standing in the financial markets.

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

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

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

    The foregoing rule change is effective upon filing pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) \9\ of the Act and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-
4 \10\ thereunder, because it establishes a due, fee, or other charge
imposed by the Exchange.

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \11\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2009-0398; Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-193-AD;
Amendment 39-15971; AD 2009-15-08

Airworthiness Directives; BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model
BAe 146 and Avro 146-RJ Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

    There have been a number of incidents where wing-to-fuselage or
MLG [main landing gear] door fairing panels have detached from the
aircraft during flight. Subsequent inspection revealed the loss of
the fairing panels to be due to failure of certain steel grommets *
* *. A detaching panel could strike the aircraft during flight,
causing damage. In addition, a detaching panel could become attached
to the structure or control surfaces, resulting in reduced control
of the aircraft.
* * * * *
    We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective August 25, 2009.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of August 25,
2009.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov or in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor,
Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on April 30, 2009 (74
FR 19905). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    There have been a number of incidents where wing-to-fuselage or
MLG [main landing gear] door fairing panels have detached from the
aircraft during flight. Subsequent inspection revealed the loss of
the fairing panels to be due to failure of certain steel grommets,
(P/N) [part number] SL5183 and HC535H0312, through which the
attachment bolts are inserted. These failures may have been caused
by improper installation of the grommets or damage resulting from
maintenance procedures relating to paint stripping and repainting,
allowing air loads to pull the panel through the grommet. A
detaching panel could strike the aircraft during flight, causing
damage. In addition, a detaching panel could become attached to the
structure or control surfaces, resulting in reduced control of the
aircraft.
    Following the application of BAE Systems (Operations) Ltd ISB
53-202 at Revision 1 to the first few, it has been discovered that
removal of existing grommets P/N SL5183 and HC535H0312 may result in
localised damage to the aluminum foil membrane attached to the inner
surface of some fairing panels. BAE Systems (Operations) Ltd has
therefore issued additional instructions in All Operators Message
(AOM) 08-015V, including bonding checks and detailed procedures for
applying an electro-conductive paste at each SL5185 grommet location
in order to bridge any gap between grommet and the inner aluminum
foil. The next revision of BAE Systems (Operations) Ltd ISB 53-202
will include the technical content of AOM 08-015V.
    For the reasons described above, this EASA AD requires
repetitive inspections of the wing-to-fuselage & MLG door fairing
panel grommets and, when damage is detected, the accomplishment of
corrective actions.

Corrective actions include replacing damaged grommets with new P/N
SL5185 grommets; or doing a temporary repair, which defers the
replacement. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI
in the AD docket.

Clarification for Unsatisfactory Bonding

    Unsatisfactory bonding, as used in this AD, is defined as:
Intermittent loss of, or failure of the bond/electrical connection.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a Note within the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 1 product of U.S. registry. We
also estimate that it will take about 14 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $80 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the

cost of this AD to the U.S. operators to be $1,120.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly
after receipt.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 53:
Fuselage.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    There have been a number of incidents where wing-to-fuselage or
MLG [main landing gear] door fairing panels have detached from the
aircraft during flight. Subsequent inspection revealed the loss of
the fairing panels to be due to failure of certain steel grommets,
(P/N) [part number] SL5183 and HC535H0312, through which the
attachment bolts are inserted. These failures may have been caused
by improper installation of the grommets or damage resulting from
maintenance procedures relating to paint stripping and repainting,
allowing air loads to pull the panel through the grommet. A
detaching panel could strike the aircraft during flight, causing
damage. In addition, a detaching panel could become attached to the
structure or control surfaces, resulting in reduced control of the
aircraft.
    Following the application of BAE Systems (Operations) Ltd ISB
53-202 at Revision 1 to the first few, it has been discovered that
removal of existing grommets P/N SL5183 and HC535H0312 may result in
localised damage to the aluminum foil membrane attached to the inner
surface of some fairing panels. BAE Systems (Operations) Ltd has
therefore issued additional instructions in All Operators Message
(AOM) 08-015V, including bonding checks and detailed procedures for
applying an electro-conductive paste at each SL5185 grommet location
in order to bridge any gap between grommet and the inner aluminum
foil. The next revision of BAE Systems (Operations) Ltd ISB 53-202
will include the technical content of AOM 08-015V.
    For the reasons described above, this EASA AD requires
repetitive inspections of the wing-to-fuselage & MLG door fairing
panel grommets and, when damage is detected, the accomplishment of
corrective actions.

Corrective actions include replacing damaged grommets with new P/N
SL5185 grommets; or doing a temporary repair, which defers the
replacement.
