SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a document entitled ``Long
Term Follow-Up After Administration of Human Gene Therapy Products;
Guidance for Industry.'' This guidance provides a brief introduction of
the product characteristics, patient-related factors, and the
preclinical and clinical data that should be considered when assessing
the need for LTFU observations for your GT product. This guidance also
describes the Agency's current recommendations for the conduct of LTFU
studies, specifically the information/data to support a sponsor's
rationale for the duration and design of a LTFU protocol when clinical
trials are initiated. Also included this guidance are GT product-
specific clinical considerations for monitoring subjects under a LTFU
protocol and recommendations on patient monitoring for licensed GT
products. This guidance is intended to supersede the guidance entitled
``Guidance for Industry: Gene Therapy Clinical Trials--Observing
Participants for Delayed Adverse Events'' dated November 2006. This
guidance supplements the guidance entitled ``Testing of Retroviral
Vector-Based Human Gene Therapy Products for Replication Competent
Retrovirus during Product Manufacture and Patient Follow-up; Draft
Guidance for Industry''.
    In the Federal Register of July 12, 2018 (83 FR 32311), FDA
announced the availability of the draft guidance of the same title
dated July 2018. FDA received several comments on the draft guidance
and those comments were considered as the guidance was finalized. The
guidance announced in this notice finalizes the draft guidance dated
July 2018.
    This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the
current thinking of FDA on ``Long Term Follow-Up After Administration
of Human Gene Therapy Products.'' It does not establish any rights for
any person and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can use an
alternative approach if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable
statutes and regulations.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This 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. 3501-3521). The
collections of information in 21 CFR parts 50 and 56 have been approved
under OMB control number 0910-0755; the collections of information in
21 CFR part 58 have been approved under OMB control number 0910-0119;
and the collections of information in 21 CFR part 312 have been
approved under OMB control number 0910-0014.

III. Electronic Access

    Persons with access to the internet may obtain the guidance at
either https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/guidance-

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Office of the Secretary

[Docket ID Number: DOT-OST-2010-0054]

Notice of Submission of Proposed Information Collection to OMB;
Agency Request for Reinstatement of Previously Approved Collections:
Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in Air Travel: Reporting
Requirements for Disability-Related Complaints

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary (OST), Department of Transportation
(Department or DOT).

ACTION: Notice of submission to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, as
amended, the Department is forwarding the Information Collection
Request (ICR) described below to OMB for review. DOT published a
Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting
comments on the following collections of information on May 10, 2022
(87 FR 28101). DOT received two comments on the 60-day notice which are
addressed below. DOT considered the comments and concluded that it will
not make any changes to the information collections based on the
comments before it submits the ICR to OMB for review. This notice is to
allow the public an additional 30 days from the date of this notice to
submit comments to the recently published application to reinstate OMB
Control Number: 2105-0551, ``Reporting Requirements for Disability-
Related Complaints.''

DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments regarding this
proposal. Written comments should be submitted by November 14, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the Office of Management and Budget,
Attention: Desk Officer for the Office of the Secretary of
Transportation, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503. Comments may
also be sent via email to OMB at the following address:
[email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Wood, Office of Aviation Consumer
Protection, U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue
SE, Washington, DC 20590, Telephone Number<PHONE_NUMBER> (voice),
(202) 366-7152 (fax), [email protected] (email). Arrangements to
receive this document in an alternative format may be made by
contacting the above-named individual.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 2105-0551.
    Title: Reporting Requirements for Disability-Related Complaints.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement of information collections.
    Background: The Department requires U.S. and foreign air carriers
operating to, from and within the United States that conduct passenger-
carrying service with at least one aircraft with a designed seating
capacity of more than 60 passengers (large aircraft) to record
complaints that they receive alleging inadequate accessibility or
discrimination on the basis of disability. The carriers must also
categorize these complaints according to the type of disability and
nature of complaint, prepare a summary report annually of the
complaints received during the preceding calendar year, submit the
report to the Department's Office of Aviation Consumer Protection, and
retain copies of correspondence and records of action taken on the
reported complaints for three years. Carriers are also required to
submit their annual report via the World Wide Web except if the carrier
can demonstrate an undue burden by doing so and receives permission
from the Department to submit it in an alternative manner. The first
required report of disability-related complaints was due to the
Department on January 31, 2005, and covered disability-related
complaints received by carriers during calendar year 2004. Carriers
have since submitted subsequent reports to the Department by the last
Monday in January for the prior calendar year.
    The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its implementing
regulations, 5 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 1320, require
Federal agencies to issue two notices seeking public comment on
information collection activities before OMB may approve paperwork
packages. On May 10, 2022, DOT published a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register soliciting comment on the ICRs for which the agency seeks OMB
approval. See 87 FR 28101. DOT received two comments after issuing this
notice. One of the comments, filed by a member of the public, addressed
modifications of the DOT air service complaint form which is covered
under a different OMB control number than is addressed by this notice.
The other comment, filed by Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA), stated
that the collection of information on disability-related complaints is
necessary for the proper performance of DOT because DOT is responsible
for enforcing the requirements of the Air Carrier Access Act. PVA noted
that the collection of the information indicates which airlines receive
the most complaints and what types of discrimination are occurring
during air travel. PVA stated that without the collection and reporting
of the complaints, airlines may not be held responsible for improper
procedures, discrimination, and unlawful treatment of individuals with
disabilities. In addition, PVA stated that the information collected by
DOT is too generalized and ambiguous to provide passengers with
disabilities information about which airlines provide the best
experience for passengers with disabilities and appropriately to
determine the issues that such passengers experience. PVA also stated
that the current burden on airlines to collect and categorize the
complaints can be alleviated by adding more descriptive options in
their complaint forms for passengers to categorize the complaint. For
example, PVA stated that airlines could use more specific check boxes
or indicators for passengers to select and categorize the complaint. In
addition, PVA stated that many online complaint forms are difficult for
passengers to find, resulting in passengers calling the airline to file

their complaint, and more burden on the airline.
    DOT will consider the information provided by PVA for the purposes
of informing future potential rulemaking activities that would be
necessary to modify the requirements that apply to the airlines'
collection and submission of disability-related complaint information
under 14 CFR part 382. Therefore, DOT has concluded that it will not
make any changes to the information collections based on the comments
before submitting the ICR to OMB for review. However, DOT encourages
reporting carriers to consider PVA's comments on methods to reduce
burdens associated with categorizing complaints and to consider
adopting burden reducing measures that are consistent with the
regulatory requirements. The Department announces that these
information collection activities have been re-evaluated and certified
under 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and is forwarding to OMB for review and approval
pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12(c).
    Before OMB decides whether to approve these proposed collections of
information, it must provide 30 days for public comment. 44 U.S.C.
3507(b); 5 CFR 1320.12(d). Federal law requires OMB to approve or
disapprove paperwork packages between 30 and 60 days after the 30-day
notice is published. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b)-(c); 5 CFR 1320.12(d); see also
60 FR 44,983 (Aug. 29, 1995). Therefore, respondents should submit
their respective comments to OMB within 30 days of publication to best
ensure their full consideration. 5 CFR 1320.12(c); see also 60 FR
44,983 (Aug. 29, 1995).
    For each information collection, the title, a description of the
respondents, and an estimate of the annual recordkeeping and periodic
reporting burden are set forth below.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ DOT did not use calendar year 2020 data for its estimates
because airline operations were not representative of a typical year
due to the unprecedented impact of COVID-19 on air transportation
that year.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2021-0350]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Charlevoix Graduation Fireworks, Lake Charlevoix,
East Jordan, MI

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
navigable waters within a 500-foot radius of a fireworks display. The
safety zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment from potential hazards created by repair work on the
bridge. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless
specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie.

DATES: This rule is effective from 10 p.m. on June 12, 2021, through 11
p.m. on June 12, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because doing so would be impracticable. The
Coast Guard did not receive sufficient notice of this event to undergo
notice and comment and this safety zone must be established by June 12,
2021 in order to protect the public from the dangers associated with a
fireworks display.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable because action is needed to ensure
that the potential safety hazards associated with the fireworks display
are effectively mitigated.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The Captain of the Port Sault Sainte
Marie (COTP) has determined that potential hazards associated with a
fireworks display on June 12, 2021 will be a safety concern for anyone
within a 500-foot radius of the navigable waters surrounding the
fireworks launch site. This rule is needed to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable waters within the
safety zone during the fireworks display.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone from 10 p.m. until 11 p.m. on
June 12, 2021. The safety zone will cover all navigable waters within
500 feet of a fireworks display in Lake Charlevoix near East Jordan,
MI. The duration of the zone is intended to protect personnel, vessels,
and the marine environment in these navigable waters while the bridge
is being repaired. No vessel or person will be permitted to enter the
safety zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated
representative.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. This rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this
rule has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on size, location,
duration, and time-of-day of the safety zone. Vessel traffic will be
able to safely transit around this safety zone which would impact a
small designated area of Lake Charlevoix. Moreover, the Coast Guard
would issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16
about the zone, and the rule would allow vessels to seek permission to
enter the zone.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and
Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast
Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that this action is one of
a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves a
safety zone lasting only 1 hour that will prohibit entry within a 500-
foot radius of a fireworks display in Lake Charlevoix. It is
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L[60(a)] of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A
Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this determination is
available in the docket. For instructions on locating the docket, see
the ADDRESSES section of this preamble.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to call or email the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so
that your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31434; Amdt. No. 4014]

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

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

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

DATES: This rule is effective June 24, 2022. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of June 24, 2022.

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

Availability

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

Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration. Mailing Address:
FAA Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, Flight Procedures and Airspace
Group, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Registry Bldg. 29, Room 104,
Oklahoma City, OK 73169. Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends 14 CFR part 97 by amending
the referenced SIAPs. The complete regulatory description of each SIAP
is listed on the appropriate FAA Form 8260, as modified by the National
Flight Data Center (NFDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P-NOTAM), and is
incorporated by reference under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14
CFR 97.20. The large number of SIAPs, their complex nature, and the
need for a special format make their verbatim publication in the
Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use
the regulatory text of the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic depiction
on charts printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. Thus, the
advantages of incorporation by reference are realized and publication
of the complete description of each SIAP contained on FAA form
documents is unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR
sections, and specifies the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with
their applicable effective dates. This amendment also identifies the
airport and its location, the procedure and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

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

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended in the
transmittal. For safety and timeliness of change considerations, this
amendment incorporates only specific changes contained for each SIAP
and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as modified by FDC permanent NOTAMs.
    The SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, as modified by FDC
permanent NOTAM, and contained in this amendment are based on criteria
contained in the U.S. Standard for Terminal Instrument Procedures
(TERPS). In developing these changes to SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and
ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied only to specific conditions
existing at the affected airports. All SIAP amendments in this rule
have been previously issued by the FAA in a FDC NOTAM as an emergency
action of immediate flight safety relating directly to published
aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for these SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments require making them effective in less than
30 days.
    Because of the close and immediate relationship between these
SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find
that notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are
impracticable and contrary to the public interest and, where
applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d), good cause exists for making these
SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic

March 30, 2006.
    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 March 27, 2006, the New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'' or
``Exchange'') 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 Exchange
filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 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

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend Exchange Rules 475 and 476 in order
to reconcile amendments to the text of Exchange Rules 475 and 476 as
previously approved by the Commission.\5\ The proposed amendments
further seek to remove inadvertently inserted text from the approved
changes in Exchange Rule 476(l) \6\ and incorporate the corrected text
of Rule 476(l) into Rule 476(k). In addition, the proposed amendments
make technical changes and render the rules gender neutral.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2006), 71 FR 3595 (January 23, 2006) (SR-NYSE-2005-37) (which will
become operative on April 1, 2006), and 53382 (February 27, 2006),

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

    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site (http://www.nyse.com), 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
    On May 23, 2005, the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE Inc.'')
filed SR-NYSE-2005-37 (``Filing 2005-37'') with the Commission to amend
Article IX of its Constitution and Rules 475 and 476 to modify certain
aspects of its disciplinary procedures and to provide a structure for a
summary suspension hearing and a ``call-up'' procedure for review by
members of the board of directors, certain members of the Board of
Executives listed in Rule 476(f), any member of the Regulation,
Enforcement and Listing Standards Committee and either the division of
the Exchange that initiated the proceedings or the respondent. On
January 13, 2006, the Commission approved Filing 2005-37 and its
subsequent amendments, to be operative on April 1, 2006.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 53124,  supra note
5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On November 3, 2005, NYSE Inc. filed SR-NYSE-2005-77 (``Filing
2005-77'') with the Commission concerning a proposed rule change
relating to its business combination with Archipelago Holdings, Inc.
(``Merger''). Contained in Filing 2005-77, among other proposed
amendments, were modifications to Rules 475 and 476. On February 27,
2006, the Commission approved Filing 2005-77 and its subsequent
amendments to be operative upon the date of the closing of the Merger,
which occurred on March 7, 2006.\8\ Pursuant to the terms of the
Merger, the Exchange became the successor entity to NYSE Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 53382, supra note 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Filing 2005-37 references certain committees and boards that are no
longer part of the corporate structure of the Exchange as approved in
Filing 2005-77. The Exchange seeks to amend Exchange Rules 475 and 476
to remove these references to conform the rules to the current
corporate structure of the Exchange. The proposed rule change seeks to
revise paragraph lettering to reconcile rule text; to use consistent
references to current Exchange entities; and to correct minor
typographical errors.
    In addition, Filing 2005-37 modified sections of the NYSE Inc.
Constitution as it related to its disciplinary process. However, Filing
2005-77, among other things, rescinded the NYSE Inc. Constitution and
incorporated certain of its provisions into Rule 476. The provisions
incorporated into Rule 476 by Filing 2005-77 are reconciled in this
filing with the modifications made in Filing 2005-37. Additionally,
certain corrections are made to the text of Rule 476(l) as approved in
Filing 2005-77. The Exchange further seeks to incorporate the amended
text of Rule 476(l) into Rule 476(k) as the second paragraph of Rule
476(k).
    Specifically, Filing 2005-77 incorporated the provisions from
Article X, Section 6 of the NYSE Inc. Constitution into Rule 476 as
section (l). Those provisions govern penalties imposed upon members,
allied members and member organizations for failure to pay fines or
other sums due the exchange. Rule 476(l) as approved in Filing 2005-77
reads as follows:
    (l) Any member, member organization, allied member, approved person
or registered or non-registered employee of a member organization who
shall not pay a fine, or any other sums due to the Exchange, within
forty-five days after the same shall become payable, shall be reported
by the Exchange Treasurer to the Chairman of the Exchange Board and,
after written notice mailed to such member, member organization, allied
member, approved person or registered or non-registered employee of a
member organization of such arrearages, may be suspended by

the Exchange Board until payment is made.
    In Filing 2005-77, NYSE Inc. proposed to amend Rule 476(l) above
and inadvertently included references to approved persons, registered
and non-registered employees. However, penalties for approved persons,
registered and non-registered employees that fail to pay fines were
already covered in the first paragraph of Rule 476(k) and continued to
be covered in that rule. Thus, the Exchange seeks to remove the phrase
``approved person or registered and non-registered employee'' from Rule
476(l) as approved in Filing 2005-77 and then incorporate the amended
text of Rule 476(l) into Rule 476(k) as the second paragraph of Rule
476(k).
    In this filing, the Exchange further seeks to remove references to
``he'' and ``his'' in order to render the rules gender neutral.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirement under section 6(b)(5) of the Act \9\ that an
exchange have rules that are 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, in general,
to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 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
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

    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: (1)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (2) impose any significant burden on competition; and (3) by
its terms, 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) \10\ of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19-4(f)(6). Rule 19b-4(f)(6) also requires that
the Exchange give the Commission written notice of the Exchange's
intention to file the proposed rule change along with a brief
description and text of the proposed rule change at least five
business days prior to the date of the filing of the proposed rule
change. The Commission notes that the Exchange has satisfied the
pre-filing five-day notice requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \12\ normally
may not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of filing.
However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \13\ permits the Commission to designate
a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. The Exchange has requested that the
Commission waive the 30-day operative delay and designate the proposed
rule change to become operative on April 1, 2006. The Commission
believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest.\14\ The Commission
notes that such waiver would allow the Exchange to reconcile rule
changes previously approved by the Commission that are due to become
operative on April 1, 2006. Accordingly, the Commission designates that
the proposed rule change become operative on April 1, 2006.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \14\ 14 For purposes only of waiving the operative delay for
this proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's
impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15
U.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

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-69448; File No. SR-OPRA-2013-01]

Options Price Reporting Authority; Notice of Filing and Immediate
Effectiveness of Proposed Amendment to the Plan for Reporting of
Consolidated Options Last Sale Reports and Quotation Information To
Revise Usage-Based Vendor Fees

April 25, 2013.
    Pursuant to Section 11A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 608 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on April 11, 2013, the Options Price Reporting Authority (``OPRA'')
submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') an
amendment to the Plan for Reporting of Consolidated Options Last Sale
Reports and Quotation Information (``OPRA Plan'').\3\ The proposed
amendment revises its Usage-based Vendor Fees. The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit comments from interested persons on
the proposed OPRA Plan amendment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1.
    \2\ 17 CFR 242.608.
    \3\ The OPRA Plan is a national market system plan approved by
the Commission pursuant to Section 11A of the Act and Rule 608
thereunder (formerly Rule 11Aa3-2). See Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 17638 (March 18, 1981), 22 S.E.C. Docket 484 (March 31,
1981). The full text of the OPRA Plan is available at http://www.opradata.com.
     The OPRA Plan provides for the collection and dissemination of
last sale and quotation information on options that are traded on
the participant exchanges. The eleven participants to the OPRA Plan
are BATS Exchange, Inc., BOX Options Exchange, LLC, Chicago Board
Options Exchange, Incorporated, C2 Options Exchange, Incorporated,
International Securities Exchange, LLC, Miami International
Securities Exchange, LLC, NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc., NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC,
NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, NYSE MKT LLC, and NYSE Arca, Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Description and Purpose of the Plan Amendment

    The purpose of the amendment is to make changes in OPRA's Usage-
based Vendor Fees. Usage-based Vendor Fees are fees that are payable by
each OPRA Vendor on the basis of access to current OPRA data by OPRA
``Subscribers'' (end users of current OPRA data) that have entered into
Subscriber Agreements with the Vendor. OPRA permits Vendors to pay
Usage-based Vendor Fees on either a ``quote packet'' basis or an
``options chain'' basis.\4\ OPRA is proposing to increase the Usage-
based Vendor Fee based on counting quote packets from $0.005 per quote
packet to $0.0075 per quote packet, and to increase the Usage-based
Vendor Fee based on counting options chains from $0.02 per options
chain to $0.03 per options chain.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The term ``quote packet'' is defined in footnote 6 to OPRA's
Fee Schedule as consisting of any one or more of the following
values for a single series of options or a related index: last sale,
bid/ask and related market data. The term ``options chain'' is also
defined in footnote 6 to OPRA's Fee Schedule; an ``options chain''
consists of up to all series of put and call options on the same
underlying security or index. (OPRA's Fee Schedule is available on
OPRA's Web site, www.opradata.com.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In essence, an OPRA Subscriber may obtain access to OPRA data in
one of two ways: Either by signing a Professional Subscriber Agreement
directly with OPRA, in which case the Subscriber pays Professional
Subscriber Device-Based Fees directly to OPRA; or by entering into a
Subscriber Agreement with an OPRA Vendor, in which case the Vendor pays
Usage-based Vendor Fees to OPRA for the Subscriber's access to current
OPRA data.
    OPRA's Usage-based Vendor Fees were established at their current
levels effective on January 1, 2000.\5\ In the thirteen years since
then OPRA's Professional Subscriber Device-Based Fee has, on a weighted
average basis, more than doubled.\6\ Moreover, over the period from the
year 2000 through the year 2012, the average number of series in each
class of options for which OPRA disseminates data has almost
doubled.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See File No. SR-OPRA-99-02; Release No. 34-42152 (November
17, 1999). In File No. SR-OPRA-99-02, OPRA reduced the quote packet
Usage-based Vendor Fee from a range of $0.01-$0.02 (with the actual
amount determined on the basis of total usage) to the current $0.005
per quote packet, and implemented the alternative options chain
Usage-based Vendor Fee at the current $0.02 per options chain.
    \6\ In the year 2000, OPRA's weighted average Professional
Subscriber Fee was approximately $12.55 per device; it is now $26.00
per device. (In the year 2000, OPRA had a sliding scale for its
Professional Subscriber Fees, with different rates based on whether
a Professional Subscriber was a Member of one or more of the
Exchanges that were parties to the OPRA Plan and on the Professional
Subscriber's number of devices. OPRA's Professional Subscriber Fees
in the year 2000 ranged from $10.50/device for an Exchange Member
with 750 or more devices to $27.00/device for a non-Member with nine
or fewer devices. Over the course of several years, OPRA made
incremental changes in its Professional Subscriber Fees to eliminate
all distinctions in these fees based on a Professional Subscriber's
status as a member or nonmember of an exchange that is a party to
the OPRA Plan or on the Subscriber's total number of OPRA-enabled
devices. See File No. SR-OPRA-2004-01; Release No. 34-49382
(February 25, 2004)).
    \7\ The term ``class'' refers to all options based on the same
underlying interest (e.g., the same security or same index). The
term ``series'' refers to all options in the same class that have
otherwise identical terms (including put or call, expiration month
and exercise price). As of December 31, 2000, there was an average
of 67.7 series per class for which OPRA disseminated data; as of
December 31, 2012 there was an average of 132.7 series per class.
This increase in the number of series per class means that a
Subscriber today receives approximately ninety-five percent more
data in an options chain than the Subscriber did twelve years ago.
It does not mean that a Subscriber receives more data in a quote
packet, but OPRA believes that the current ratio of the options
chain fee to the quote packet fee (four to one) is appropriate, and
that an appropriate adjustment to these fees is to increase each of
them by fifty percent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OPRA's Usage-based Vendor Fees for receipt of OPRA data by
Nonprofessional Subscribers and by Professional Subscribers are each
subject to monthly caps. For Nonprofessional Subscribers the cap is
$1.25 per Nonprofessional Subscriber per month. For Professional
Subscribers the cap is the per-device fee applicable to the
Professional Subscriber (currently $26.00 per month) times the number
of the Professional Subscriber's User IDs.

OPRA is not currently proposing an increase in either of these caps.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The cap for Nonprofessional Subscribers is at an amount
equal to OPRA's Nonprofessional Subscriber Fee. OPRA recently
increased its Nonprofessional Subscriber Fee, and increased the cap
for Nonprofessional Subscribers at that time. (See File No. SR-OPRA-
2012-02, Release No. 34-66564 (March 9, 2012)). Because the cap for
Professional Subscribers is stated with reference to OPRA's
Professional Subscriber Device-Based Fee, it adjusts automatically
in lockstep with the Professional Subscriber Device-Based Fee.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At current usage rates, these changes in OPRA's fees would result
in an increase in its revenues of approximately $1,500,000 on an annual
basis if the changes do not cause any Subscribers to hit their
applicable fee caps and do not cause any Vendors to discontinue
providing access to current OPRA data to their Subscribers. (OPRA
believes that these factors are likely to cause the actual increase in
OPRA's revenue to be less than this amount.) OPRA believes that
increasing its Usage-based Vendor Fees will restore a more appropriate
balance to the relationship between its revenues derived from
Professional Subscriber Device-based Fees on the one hand and Usage-
based Vendor Fees on the other hand, and that an increase in its
revenues resulting from these fee increases will represent an
appropriate contribution to covering the overall costs of OPRA and its
member exchanges to which these fees may properly be applied.
    The text of the proposed amendment to the OPRA Plan is available at
OPRA, the Commission's Public Reference Room, http://opradata.com, and
on the Commission's Web site at www.sec.gov.

II. Implementation of the OPRA Plan Amendment

    Pursuant to paragraph (b)(3)(i) of Rule 608 of Regulation NMS under
the Act, OPRA designated this amendment as establishing or changing
fees or other charges collected on behalf of all of the OPRA
participants in connection with access to or use of OPRA facilities. In
order to give persons subject to these fees advance notice of the
changes, OPRA proposes to provide notice of the changes to OPRA Vendors
on or about May 1, 2013, and to put the changes into effect on June 1,
2013.
    The Commission may summarily abrogate the amendment within sixty
days of its filing and require refiling and approval of the amendment
by Commission order pursuant to Rule 608(b)(2) under the Act \9\ if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or the
maintenance of fair and orderly markets, to remove impediments to, and
perfect the mechanisms of, a national market system, or otherwise in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
