SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-77621; File No. SR-CBOE-2016-031]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change to Amend the Fees Schedule

April 14, 2016.
    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 April 1, 2016, Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated
(the ``Exchange'' or ``CBOE'') 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
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

    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site (http://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx),
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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend the Fees Schedule. Specifically, the
Exchange proposes to make changes to the Facility Fees section of the
Fees Schedule to remove references to FBW,\3\ which has been
decommissioned, effective March 31, 2016.\4\ Pursuant to the Facilities
Fees section of the Fees Schedule, the Exchange charges Trading Permit
Holders (``TPHs'') a monthly fee of $450.00 per login ID per month for
the use of a FBW.\5\ The Exchange assesses these facility fees in
arrears during the first week of the following month. For example, a
TPH will be billed in March for use of an FBW in February. Monthly fees
are assessed and applied in their entirety and are not prorated.\6\
Consequently, a TPH that cancels an FBW login ID on March 15 will still
be charged the $450.00 fee for all of March on the April bill. FBW
login IDs are renewed automatically for the next month unless the TPH
submits written notification to the Market Operations Department by
3:00 p.m. on the second-to-last business day of the prior month to
cancel the FBW login ID at or prior to the end of the applicable
month.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ FBW is an order management tool used by Floor Brokers to
handle orders on the floor of the Exchange. FBW is a third-party
facility of the Exchange.
    \4\ See id.
    \5\ See Fees Schedule, page 9.
    \6\ See id.
    \7\ The Fees Schedule also provides that ``[f]or every FBW login
a TPH has the FBW2 fee will be waived on a one-to-one basis for the
months of January 2016 through March 2016.'' The Exchange also
proposes to delete this sentence as FBW will no longer exist as of
March 31, 2016 and therefore, the Exchange will not be offering to
waive the FBW2 fee on a one-to-one basis after March 31, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to make changes to the Facility Fees section
of the Fees Schedule to delete the FBW line-item and remove references
to FBW from the FBW2 line-item. As stated above, FBW has been
decommissioned, effective March 31, 2016. Accordingly, these references
in the Fees Schedule are no longer needed. The Exchange notes that
legacy-FBW users that had active login IDs during March will be billed
in arrears on their April bills.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the
Exchange and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the
Act.\8\ Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) \9\ 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.
Additionally, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) \10\ requirement that the rules of
an exchange not be designed

to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or
dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \10\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In particular, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change
is consistent with the Act in that it ensures clarity in the rules. The
Exchange believes that removing the obsolete term ``FBW'' from the
rules, maintains clarity in the rules and eliminates potential
confusion. The Exchange believes that the alleviation of potential
confusion will 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.

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. The proposed changes to
conform Exchange rules and alleviate confusion are not intended for
competitive reasons and only apply to CBOE. The Exchange also does not
believe the proposed rule change effects intramarket or intermarket
competition, and notes that no rights or obligations of Trading Permit
Holders are affected by the change.

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 written comments on the
proposed rule change.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \11\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \12\
thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed
rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission will institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

 PRZM <IP_ADDRESS> (5/16/05) and  EXAMS  2.98.04(4/25/04)  were used rather
than GENEEC2 (4/25/04) in anticipation of toxicity concerns for aquatic
organisms.

 Monocots include corn, Zea mays; oat, Avena sativa; onion, Allium cepa;
and ryegrass, Lolium Perenne).  Dicots include cucumber, Cucumis sativa;
lettuce, Lactuca sativa; oilseed rape, Brassica napus; soybean, Glycine
max; sugarbeet, Beta vulgaris; and tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum.

 Soybean was treated with the test substance on a different day than the
other species, and the concentration of metrafenone in the test
substance was analyzed on the same day, thus soybean had a different
measured concentration than the other test species.

 The acute eastern oyster study (MRID 47267440) using the technical
grade active ingredient indicated a 42% reduction in concentration from
uncentrifuged sample to centrifuged sample. If the percentage is applied
to the NOAEC value from this study, 0.118 mg total a.i./L, it would
reduce to 0.068 mg a.i./L, which is still above the highest model
estimated EEC value (0.02 mg/L).

Di-isodecyl Phthalate (DIDP); Final Scope of the Risk Evaluation
To Be Conducted Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA); Notice
of Availability

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and
implementing regulations, EPA is announcing the availability of the
final scope of the risk evaluation to be conducted for di-isodecyl
phthalate (DIDP) (1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, 1,2-diisodecyl ester
and 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, di-C9-11-branched alkyl esters, C10-
rich; Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number (CASRN) 26761-40-0 and
CASRN 68515-49-1), a category of chemical substances for which EPA
received a manufacturer request for risk evaluation. The scope document
includes the conditions of use, hazards, exposures, and the potentially
exposed or susceptible subpopulations that EPA plans to consider in
conducting the risk evaluation for this category of chemical
substances.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general and may be of
interest to entities that manufacture (including import) a chemical
substance regulated under TSCA (e.g., entities identified under North
American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes 325 and
324110). The action may also be of interest to chemical processors,
distributors in commerce, and users; non-governmental organizations in
the environmental and public health sectors; state and local government
agencies; and members of the public. Since other entities may also be
interested, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific
entities and corresponding NAICS codes for entities that may be
interested in or affected by this action.

B. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    The final scope document is issued pursuant to TSCA section
6(b)(4)(D) and EPA's implementing regulations at 40 CFR 702.41(c)(8).

C. What action is the Agency taking?

    EPA is publishing the final scope of the risk evaluation for DIDP
under TSCA. Through the risk evaluation process, EPA will determine
whether the category of chemical substances presents an unreasonable
risk of injury to health or the environment under the conditions of
use, as determined by the Administrator, in accordance with TSCA
section 6(b)(4).

II. Background

    TSCA allows chemical manufacturers to request an EPA-conducted risk
evaluation of a chemical substance under 40 CFR 702.37. On May 24,
2019, EPA received a manufacturer request for a risk evaluation of DIDP
(Ref. 1). On December 2, 2019, the Agency granted the request and
subsequently initiated the scoping process for a risk evaluation for
this category of chemical substances on January 2, 2020. Pursuant to 40
CFR 702.41(c)(7), EPA announced the availability of and sought public
comment on the draft scope document for the risk evaluation to be
conducted for DIDP under TSCA (85 FR 76077, November 27, 2020) (FRL-
10017-14) (Ref. 2).
    The purpose of risk evaluation is to determine whether a chemical
substance, or group of chemical substances, presents an unreasonable
risk to health or the environment, under the conditions of use,
including an unreasonable risk to a relevant potentially exposed or
susceptible subpopulation (15 U.S.C. 2605(b)(4)(A)). As part of this
process, EPA must evaluate both hazards and exposures for the
conditions of use; describe whether aggregate or sentinel exposures
were considered and the basis for consideration; not consider costs or
other nonrisk factors; take into account where relevant, likely
duration, intensity, frequency, and number of exposures and describe
the weight of the scientific evidence for hazards and exposures (15
U.S.C. 2605(b)(4)(F)). This process will culminate in a determination
of whether or not the

category of chemical substances presents an unreasonable risk of injury
to health or the environment under the conditions of use (15 U.S.C.
2605(b)(4)(A); 40 CFR 702.47).

III. Information and Comments Received

    In the Federal Register of November 27, 2020 (Ref. 2), EPA
announced the availability of the draft scope document for the risk
evaluation to be conducted for DIDP under TSCA and invited public
comments on EPA's draft scope document, including additional data or
information relevant to the category of chemical substances or that
otherwise could be useful to the Agency in finalizing the scope of the
risk evaluation. To the extent that comments provided information on
conditions of use, as well as other elements of the draft scope
document, those comments and other submitted information (e.g.,
relevant studies and assessments) were used to inform revisions to the
draft scope document and may be considered in subsequent phases of the
risk evaluation process.
    EPA received five unique submissions for DIDP, including comments
from potentially affected businesses or trade associations,
environmental and public health advocacy groups (some submissions were
signed by more than one group), and a group of state attorneys general.
    Comments addressed the overall approach to the risk evaluation
process (e.g., collection, consideration, and systematic review of
relevant information), the specific elements of the scope document
(e.g., hazard, exposure, and potentially exposed or susceptible
subpopulations), information specific to the chemical substances (e.g.,
relevant studies, assessments, and conditions of use), and topics
beyond the draft scope document phase of the process (e.g., risk
management). EPA considered those comments, as applicable and
appropriate, in developing the final scope document. Concurrently with
the publication of the final scope document, EPA is publishing a
response to comments document that contains a comprehensive summary of
and response to public comments received on the DIDP draft scope
document. The comprehensive response to comments document is available
in the docket EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0435 (Ref. 3).
