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

    The Exchange filed a proposal to amend Rules 2.5(c)(4) and 11.15 to
harmonize its membership requirements applicable to clearing agencies
that clear transactions for Members \5\ of the Exchange with those set
forth under EDGX Exchange, Inc. (``EDGX'') and EDGA Exchange, Inc.
(``EDGA'') rules.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The term ``Member'' is defined as ``any registered broker or
dealer that has been admitted to membership in the Exchange. A
Member will have the status of a ``member'' of the Exchange as that
term is defined in Section 3(a)(3) of the Act. Membership may be
granted to a sole proprietor, partnership, corporation, limited
liability company or other organization which is a registered broker
or dealer pursuant to Section 15 of the Act, and which has been
approved by the Exchange.'' See Exchange Rule 1.5(n).
    \6\ See EDGA Rules 2.5(c)(4) and 11.13; EDGX Rules 2.5(c)(4) and
11.13.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
Web site at www.batstrading.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 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 parts 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 Rules 2.5(c)(4) and 11.15 to
harmonize its membership requirements applicable to clearing agencies
that clear transactions for Members with those set forth under EDGX and
EDGA rules.\7\ Earlier this year, the Exchange and its affiliate, BATS
Exchange, Inc. (``BZX''), received approval to effect a merger (the
``Merger'') of the Exchange's parent company, BATS Global Markets,
Inc., with Direct Edge Holdings LLC, the indirect parent of EDGX and
EDGA (together with BZX, BYX and EDGX, the ``BGM Affiliated
Exchanges'').\8\ In the context of the Merger, the BGM Affiliated
Exchanges are working to align certain rules, retaining only intended
differences between the BGM Affiliated Exchanges. As part of this
effort, the proposal set forth below harmonizes Exchange Rules 2.5 and
11.15 with EDGA and EDGX Rules 2.5 and 11.13 by no longer requiring
that a Qualified Clearing Agency \9\ be a Member in order to clear
other Member's transactions executed on the Exchange.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See supra note 6.
    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 71375 (January 23,
2014), 79 FR 4771 (January 29, 2014) (SR-BATS-2013-059; SR-BYX-2013-
039).
    \9\ The term ``Qualified Clearing Agency'' is defined as ``a
clearing agency registered with the Commission pursuant to Section
17A of the Act that is deemed qualified by the Exchange.'' See
Exchange Rule 1.5(u).
    \10\ The Exchange understands that BZX is to file a proposed
rule change with the Commission to adopt similar changes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In sum, Rule 2.5(a)(4) currently provides that a Member also be a
member of a Qualified Clearing Agency or clear its transactions
executed on the Exchange through another Member that is a member of a
Qualified Clearing Agency. Rule 11.15(a) currently requires

a Qualified Clearing Agency be a Member of the Exchange in order to
clear transactions on behalf of another Member. EDGA and EDGX Rules
2.5(c)(4) and 11.13(a) do not require that: (i) A Qualified Clearing
Agency be a member in order to clear other member's transactions
executed on EDGA or EDGX; (ii) that a member be a member of a Qualified
Clearing Agency; or (iii) that a member clear its transaction through a
member of a Qualified Clearing Agency. Rather, EDGA and EDGX Rules
simply require that a member clear transactions through a registered
clearing agency using a continuous net settlement system. EDGA and EDGX
Rules 11.13(a) further state that this requirement may be satisfied by
direct participation, use of direct clearing services, or by entering
into a correspondent clearing arrangement with another member that
clears trades through such agency.
    As amended, Rules 2.5(a)(4) and 11.15(a) would be substantially
similar to EDGA and EDGX rules 2.5(c)(4) and 11.3(a). Like EDGA and
EDGX Rules 2.5(c)(4), Exchange Rules 2.5(a)(4) would require that a
Member clear transactions through a Qualified Clearing Agency using a
continuous net settlement system. Like EDGA and EDGX Rules 11.13(a),
amended Exchange Rule 11.15(a) would state that this requirement may be
satisfied by direct participation, use of direct clearing services, or
by entering into a correspondent clearing arrangement with another
member that clears trades through such agency. In addition, Exchange
Rule 11.15(a) would no longer require a Qualified Clearing Agency be a
Member in order to clear another Members' transactions executed on the
Exchange.
    The Exchange also proposes to add new subparagraph (b) to Rule
11.15 stating that notwithstanding subparagraph (a) of Rule 11.15,
transactions may be settled ``ex-clearing,'' provided that both parties
to the transaction agree. Proposed subparagraph (b) to Rule 11.15 would
be identical to EDGA and EDGX Rules 11.13(b). The Exchange also
proposes to renumber the remaining subparagraphs of Rule 11.13
accordingly.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act \11\ and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\12\ in that it is designed to promote just
and equitable principles of trade, remove impediments to, and perfect
the mechanism of, a free and open market and a national market system,
and, in general, protect investors and the public interest. The
Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is not designed to
permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers or
dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change is identical to the existing rules of EDGA
and EDGX.\13\ Requiring Qualified Clearing Agencies to be Members of
the Exchange has unreasonably limited the ability of Members to clear
trades through such agencies that are not Members when no such
restriction is contained in the rules of EDGA or EDGX. The proposed
rule change is, therefore, intended to align the Exchange's rules
regarding Members clearing transaction through a Qualified Clearing
Agency with that of EDGA and EDGX as well as BZX \14\ in order to
provide consistent rules across the BGM Affiliated Exchanges.
Consistent rules, in turn, will simplify the membership requirements
for clearing agencies that are also clear transactions for members of
the other BGM Affiliated Exchanges. The proposed rule change would
provide greater harmonization between the rules of the BGM Affiliated
Exchanges of similar purpose, resulting in greater uniformity and less
burdensome and more efficient regulatory compliance. As such, the
proposed rule change would foster cooperation and coordination with
persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities and would
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market and a national market system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See supra note 6.
    \14\ See supra note 10.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The proposed rule change would not impose any burden on
competition. The Exchange believes that the proposed rule changes will
not burden intramarket competition because all Members would be subject
to the same requirements with regard to clearing transactions through
non-Member registered clearing agencies. The proposed rule change is
not designed to address any competitive issues but rather is designed
to provide greater harmonization among the Exchange, BZX, EDGA and EDGX
rules of similar purpose, resulting in less burdensome and more
efficient regulatory compliance for common members of the BGM
Affiliated Exchanges.

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

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on
the proposed rule change.

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 \15\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\16\ The Exchange provided the Commission with
written notice of its intent 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 filing the proposed rule change
as required by Rule 19b-4(f)(6).\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \16\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \17\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is: (1)
Necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (2) for the protection
of investors; or (3) otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the
Act. If the Commission takes such action, the Commission shall
institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule should be
approved or disapproved.

MEMORANDUM

	Subject:	Minutes of the 6/10/2009 ChemSAC Meeting

	From:	Chemistry Science Advisory Council (ChemSAC)

		Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP)

		Health Effects Division (HED)

	To:	Residue Chemistry Interest Group

		Office of Pesticide Programs

Soderberg, Bernie Schneider, Barbara Madden, Sue Hummel, Mohsen
Sahafeyan

1.	Review Minutes from the 3 June 2009 Meeting

The minutes were approved with minor revisions.

2.	Removal of 40 CFR 180.1 Paragraph h (B. Schneider)

The Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 180.1(h) states,
“Unless otherwise specified, tolerances and exemptions established
under the regulations in this part apply to residues from only
preharvest application of the chemical.”  As a general policy OPP has
been working to not put use information into the tolerance declarations
in 40 CFR 180.  With the language in 180.1(h), tolerances associated
with post-harvest uses of a pesticide are required to be designated as
such.  Revisions to the CFR will be made in connection with crop
grouping revisions and there is an opportunity to remove 180.1(h) from
the regulations.

In order to have 180.1(h) removed from the regulation, HED needs to
provide assurance that having tolerances decoupled from post-harvest-use
designations will not result in increased human health risk estimates or
in an expanded use profile for the active ingredient.  ChemSAC noted
that tolerances established under FFDCA are simply the maximum allowable
concentration of a compound in/on a food.  The tolerances themselves
have no bearing on the use pattern that resulted in the presence of
residues.  The allowed use patterns for a pesticide are enforceable via
FIFRA and are designated on the pesticide label.  Thus, the pre-harvest
use of a product on a crop or commodity that is approved only for
post-harvest use would be a violation of FIFRA and not necessarily FFDCA
(note that FFDCA violations are indicative of FIFRA violations).
Therefore, removing 180.1(h) from the regulations does not imply the
approval of pre-harvest uses.  Since removing 180.1(h) does not
constitute an expanded use profile for compounds with
post-harvest-specific tolerances, risk estimates for those compounds are
not affected.  ChemSAC further noted that 180.1(h) was developed prior
to the current regulatory scheme and that, from a practical standpoint,
it is often not possible to know whether a food-borne chemical residue
originated from a pre- or a post-harvest use.  The SAC will issue a
memorandum to RD in support of having 40 CFR 180.1(h) removed from the
regulations, and this memo will be posted on the ChemSAC database.

3.   Substitution of U.S. for Mexican Crop Field Trials for Determining
a Tolerance on Imported Commodities (R. Loranger).

A consultant for a pesticide registrant has asked if we would accept
100% U.S. field trials for establishing an “import tolerance” for a
use in Mexico.  The request is based on conditions in Mexico related to
violence and swine flu.  The consultant noted that the Agency has
allowed Columbia to be excluded as a location due to violence and travel
advisories.  The proposal is that the Mexican trials be conducted in
Arizona and the southern part of Texas.  The crops of interest are
cucurbits, tomatoes, and peppers.  The consultant further states that of
the tomatoes grown in Mexico for export, 80% are grown in greenhouses.
Current NAFTA guidelines allow for up to ½ of the trials to be
conducted outside of the exporting country.

The SAC is willing to consider alternate study sites, provided such
sites can be shown to provide equivalent information.  In order to make
that determination, the SAC is requesting that more information be
provided regarding the environmental conditions and cultural practices
for each crop in the affected areas of Mexico.  Ideally, trials that are
proposed for the U.S. would be in the same NAFTA zone in which the crop
is grown in Mexico.  The SAC also noted that there may be other
countries that would be a more suitable surrogate than the U.S.

With regard to the extent of conducting 50-75% of the tomato trials in
greenhouses, the SAC noted that information available to the group
indicates that much less than 80% of the tomatoes in Mexico grown for
export come from greenhouses and that Mexican production data (field
versus greenhouse and % of each exported to the U.S.) are needed for all
crops of interest, not just tomato.

4.	Residue Testing with Surfactants (R. Loranger)

A registrant has asked for guidance regarding inclusion of surfactants
in residue field trials.  The registrant intends to include surfactants
in all trials for a new insecticide, with approximately 25% using MSO, a
blend of methylated seed oil and nonylphenol ethoxylate.  The surfactant
in the remaining 75% would be selected in accordance with the local
practices.

The SAC concluded that the proposed scheme is acceptable, provided that
the 75% address the other two major classes of surfactants (crop oil
concentrate and non-ionic surfactant).  Information on the use rates for
the various surfactants should be included in the submission in order to
meaningfully assess the impact of different surfactants on pesticide
residue levels.

5.  Chemical Names in Tolerance Expressions:  CAS vs. IUPAC.

The SAC discussed whether CAS or IUPAC names are preferred for inclusion
in the tolerance expression.  There appears to be no requirement for one
over the other and there were situations discussed where one might be
preferred vs. the other.  No consensus was reached other than a noted
need for a reliable source of up-to-date names for active ingredients.
