40 CFR Part 180

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2023-0624; FRL-11517-02-OCSPP]

Kasugamycin; Extension of Time-Limited Tolerance for Emergency
Exemption

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This regulation extends time-limited tolerances for residues
of kasugamycin in or on almond and almond, hulls as identified in this
document. This action is in response to EPA's granting of an emergency
exemption under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA) authorizing use of this pesticide. In addition, the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) requires EPA to establish a time-
limited tolerance or exemption from the requirement for a tolerance for
pesticide chemical residues in food that will result from the use of a
pesticide under an emergency exemption granted by EPA. Further, EPA
issued a final rule in the Federal Register of November 3, 2023, that
extended time-limited tolerances for multiple chemicals on various
commodities in response to EPA's granting of emergency exemptions. EPA
inadvertently omitted the detailed instructions for the revision of the
tolerances for kasugamycin. Therefore, EPA is issuing this final rule
to rectify this omission.

DATES: This regulation is effective December 18, 2023. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before February 16, 2024
and must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40
CFR part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).

II. Background and Statutory Findings

    EPA issued a final rule, published in the Federal Register of
October 8, 2020, (85 FR 63450) (FRL-10013-94), on its own initiative,
in accordance with FFDCA sections 408(e) and 408(l)(6), 21 U.S.C.
346a(e) and 346a(1)(6), establishing time-limited tolerances for
residues of kasugamycin, (3-O-[2-amino-4-[(carboxyimino-methyl)amino]-
2,3,4,6-tetradeoxy-[alpha]-D-arabino-hexopyranosyl]-D-chiro-inositol),
in or on almond at 0.04 parts per million (ppm); and almond, hulls at
0.4 ppm. These time-limited tolerances expire on December 31, 2023.
    EPA received a request to extend the use of kasugamycin for this
year's growing season. After having reviewed this submission, EPA
concurs that an emergency condition continues to exist. EPA assessed
the potential risks presented by residues of kasugamycin in or on the
pertinent commodity. In doing so, EPA considered the safety standard in
FFDCA section 408(b)(2) and decided that the necessary tolerances under
FFDCA section 408(l)(6) would be consistent with the safety standard
and with FIRA section 18. Further, EPA issued a final rule in the
Federal Register of November 3, 2023 (88 FR 75503) (FRL-11517-01-OCSPP)
that extended time-limited tolerances for multiple chemicals on various
commodities in response to EPA's granting of emergency exemptions. EPA
inadvertently omitted the detailed instructions for the revision of 40
CFR

180.614 Kasugamycin; tolerances for residues. Therefore, EPA is issuing
this final rule to correct this omission.
    The data and other relevant material have been evaluated and were
discussed in the final rule that originally established the time-
limited tolerances. Based on those data and information considered, the
Agency reaffirms that extension of the time-limited tolerances will
continue to meet the requirements of FFDCA section 408(l)(6).
Therefore, the time-limited tolerances are extended until December 31,
2026. Although these tolerances will expire and are revoked on December
31, 2026, under FFDCA section 408(l)(5), residues of the pesticide not
in excess of the amounts specified in the tolerances remaining in or on
the commodities after that date will not be unlawful, provided the
residues are present as a result of an application or use of a
pesticide at a time and manner that was lawful under FIFRA, the
tolerance was in place at the time of the application, and the residues
do not exceed the level that was authorized by the tolerance. EPA will
take action to revoke the tolerances earlier if any experience with,
scientific data on, or other relevant information on this pesticide
indicate that the residues are not safe. EPA will publish a document in
the Federal Register to remove the revoked tolerances from the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR). Time-limited tolerances for the use of the
following pesticide chemical on a specific commodity are being
extended:
    Kasugamycin. Pursuant to a request by the California Department of
Pesticide Regulation, EPA authorized under FIFRA section 18 the use of
kasugamycin on almonds for control of bacterial blast in California.
This regulation extends time-limited tolerances for residues of the
pesticide kasugamycin and its metabolites and degradates in or on
almond at 0.04 (ppm); and almond hulls at 0.4 ppm for an additional 3-
year period. The tolerances will expire and are revoked on December 31,
2026.

III. International Residue Limits

    In making its tolerance decisions, EPA seeks to harmonize U.S.
tolerances with international standards whenever possible, consistent
with U.S. food safety standards and agricultural practices. EPA
considers the international maximum residue limits (MRLs) established
by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex), as required by FFDCA
section 408(b)(4). The Codex Alimentarius is a joint United Nations
Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization food
standards program, and it is recognized as an international food safety
standards-setting organization in trade agreements to which the United
States is a party. EPA may establish a tolerance that is different from
a Codex MRL; however, FFDCA section 408(b)(4) requires that EPA explain
the reasons for departing from the Codex level.
    The Codex has not established a MRL for kasugamycin in or on the
commodity listed in this document.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This action establishes tolerances under FFDCA section 408(d). The
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of
actions from review under Executive Order 12866, entitled ``Regulatory
Planning and Review'' (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because this
action has been exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this
action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled ``Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) or Executive Order
13045, entitled ``Protection of Children from Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). This action
does not contain any information collections subject to OMB approval
under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), nor
does it require any special considerations under Executive Order 12898,
entitled ``Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority
Populations and Low-Income Populations'' (59 FR 7629, February 16,
1994).
    Since tolerances and exemptions that are established in accordance
with FFDCA section 408(1)(6), such as the tolerances in this final
rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the requirements
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), do not
apply.
    This action directly regulates growers, food processors, food
handlers, and food retailers, not States or tribes, nor does this
action alter the relationships or distribution of power and
responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions
of FFDCA section 408(n)(4). As such, the Agency has determined that
this action will not have a substantial direct effect on States or
tribal governments, on the relationship between the national government
and the States or Tribal governments, on the relationship between the
National Government and the States or Tribal Governments, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government or between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. Thus,
the Agency has determined that Executive Order 13132, entitled
``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999) and Executive Order
13175, entitled ``Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments'' (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply to this
action. In addition, this action does not impose any enforceable duty
or contain any unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).
    This action does not involve any technical standards that would
require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant
to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).

V. Congressional Review Act

    Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.),
EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required
information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of
the rule in the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule''
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

Proposed Settlement Agreement, Clean Air Act Petition for Review AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency. ACTION: Notice of proposed settlement agreement; request for public comment.

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 113( g) of the Clean Air Act, as amended (`` Act''), 42 U. S. C. 7413( g), notice is hereby given of a proposed Settlement Agreement. On December 18, 2001, the Sierra Club (`` Sierra Club'') and Group Against Smog and Pollution, Inc. (`` GASP'') filed a petition in the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit for review of the Environmental Protection Agency's (`` EPA'') final action redesignating the Pittsburgh Beaver Valley Ozone Nonattainment Area ( the `` Pittsburgh area'') to attainment of the one hour National Ambient Air Quality Standard (`` NAAQS'') for ground level ozone, and approving the maintenance plan for the Pittsburgh area as a revision to the Pennsylvania State Implementation Plan ( SIP) pursuant to the Act. Sierra Club v. EPA, No. 01   4426 ( 3rd Cir.). On January 22, 2003, the respondents EPA and EPA Administrator Christine T. Whitman and the petitioners Sierra Club and GASP executed the proposed Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement provides for holding the petition for review in abeyance while the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has an opportunity to adopt and EPA has an opportunity to approve revisions to the contingency measures portion of the Pittsburgh area maintenance plan. Adoption and approval of the revisions described in Attachment A to the proposed Settlement Agreement will result in a joint motion to dismiss the petition. The agreement further provides for payment in settlement of claims for costs of litigation, including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses. DATES: Written comments on the proposed settlement agreement must be received by March 10, 2003. ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to Kendra Sagoff, Air and Radiation Law Office ( 2344A), Office of General Counsel, U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20004. Copies of the proposed Settlement Agreement are available from Phyllis J. Cochran, ( 202) 564   5566. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kendra Sagoff at ( 202) 564   5566.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 19, 2001, EPA published a Federal Register notice redesignating the Pittsburgh area to attainment for the one hour ozone standard, and approving a revision to the area's maintenance plan as a revision to the SIP. 66 FR 53094. On December 18, 2001, Sierra Club and GASP filed a petition for review of this action in the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, contending that the redesignation did not meet statutorilyrequired prerequisites for redesignation. Sierra Club v. EPA, No. 01   4426. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Southwestern Pennsylvania Growth Alliance were granted leave to participate as intervenors. Briefing was stayed pending settlement discussions. The proposed Settlement Agreement, which was executed on January 22, 2003, provides for a stay of proceedings to allow the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to submit to EPA, not later than May 1, 2003, a revision to the Pennsylvania contingency measures portion of the maintenance plan SIP that adds additional contingency measures and procedures for implementing them. The contingency measures are outlined in Attachment A to the proposed Settlement Agreement. The Agreement further allows EPA an opportunity to sign a final approval of the revision no later then February 1, 2004, to be forwarded within five business days for publication in the Federal Register, and to sign a final approval of the final rule in finally adopted form, that is referenced in paragraph 1( b) of Attachment A, no later than November 1, 2004. EPA must also provide status reports at 120 day intervals. ( In an order dated January 2, 2003, the Court unilaterally changed the interval to 60 days from the date of the Court's order until the settlement agreement has been finalized and implemented.) Petitioners agree not to challenge in any court or administrative proceeding the validity of any EPA action fully approving these revisions. Within 30 days of November 1, 2004, the parties will file a joint stipulation dismissing the petition in accordance with Rule 42 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure if EPA has published the final rulemakings fully approving the revisions and the stay of the litigation has not been lifted. Finally, EPA agrees to pay, and the Petitioners agree to accept, the sum of $ 30,987.00 in full settlement of all claims by Petitioners for their costs of litigation ( including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses). For a period of thirty ( 30) days following the date of publication of this notice, the Agency will receive written comments relating to the proposed Settlement Agreement from persons who were not named as parties or intervenors to the litigation in question. EPA or the Department of Justice may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed Settlement Agreement if the comments disclose facts or considerations that indicate that such consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the requirements of the Act. Unless EPA or the Department of Justice determine, following the comment period, that consent is inappropriate, the Settlement Agreement will be final.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[File No. 500-1]

Minecore International, Inc.; Order of Suspension of Trading

November 4, 2009.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of
Minecore International, Inc. (``Minecore'') because it has not filed a
periodic report since its 10-KSB for the fiscal year ending December
31, 2001, filed on June 30, 2004.
    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the
securities of Minecore. Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section
12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the
securities of Minecore is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EST
on November 4, 2009, through 11:59 p.m. EST on November 17, 2009.

    By the Commission.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R05-OAR-2012-0650; FRL-9905-54-Region 5]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Indiana; Consent Decree Requirements

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a
portion of Indiana's construction permit rule for sources subject to
the state operating permit program regulations. These provisions
authorize the state to incorporate terms from Federal consent decrees
and Federal district court orders into these construction permits. EPA
is also approving public notice requirements for these permit actions.
These rules will help streamline the process for making Federal consent
decree and Federal district court order requirements permanent and
Federally enforceable.

DATES: This final rule is effective on February 18, 2014.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-R05-OAR-2012-0650. All documents in the docket are listed on
the www.regulations.gov Web site. Although listed in the index, some
information is not publicly available, i.e., Confidential Business
Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted
by statute. Certain other material, such as copyrighted material, is
not placed on the Internet and will be publicly available only in hard
copy form. Publicly available docket materials are available either
electronically through www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at

the Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, Air and Radiation
Division, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604. This
facility is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday,
excluding Federal holidays. We recommend that you telephone Sam
Portanova, Environmental Engineer, at<PHONE_NUMBER> before visiting
the Region 5 office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,''
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA. This supplementary information
section is arranged as follows:

I. What is EPA addressing in this document?
II. What is EPA's response to adverse comments?
III. What action is EPA taking?
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. What is EPA addressing in this document?

    On March 15, 2013, EPA published a direct-final rule approving 326
IAC 2-7-10.5(b) and 326 IAC 2-7-10.5(k) as revisions to Indiana's State
Implementation Plan (SIP) (78 FR 16412). This rule revision authorizes
Indiana to issue construction permits to sources subject to the state
operating permit program regulations at 40 CFR part 70 (part 70
sources) that include requirements from Federal district court orders
that adjudicate violations and Federal consent decrees. Permits
incorporating these requirements are issued to sources that are subject
to title V of the Clean Air Act (CAA). This rule revision also requires
public notice procedures for these permitting actions.
    On the same date, EPA also proposed to approve the revisions (78 FR
16449). On May 6, 2013, in a separate action, we withdrew the direct
final rule because we received adverse comments (78 FR 26258). The
proposed approval remained in effect. Today, we are responding to those
comments and taking final action to approve Indiana's SIP revision
request.

II. What is EPA's response to adverse comments?

    EPA received one set of adverse comments on the March 15, 2013,
proposed approval of this Indiana rule. EPA's response to these
comments is as follows:
    Comment: Federal consent decrees are not applicable requirements
under title V and should not be incorporated into title V permits. EPA
should equivocally state whether or not consent decree requirements are
title V applicable requirements as there appears to be conflicting
guidance on this point.
    Response: The title V issue raised by this comment is not directly
related to this action because this action authorizes Indiana to
incorporate consent decree terms in construction permits, not title V
permits. However, if consent decree terms are incorporated into a
construction permit, there are consequences under title V. The
definition of ``applicable requirement'' in 40 CFR 70.2 includes
``[a]ny term or condition of any preconstruction permits issued
pursuant to regulations approved or promulgated through rulemaking
under title I of the Act. . . .'' These construction permits are issued
pursuant to programs approved by EPA under title I of the CAA. Thus,
once the title I permits are issued, the terms, including terms
reflecting requirements from Federal district court orders and Federal
consent decrees, are ``applicable requirements'' under this provision
of the title V regulations and must be included in the source's title V
permit. See also 326 IAC 2-7-1(6)).
    Comment: Not all consent decree requirements are permanent and thus
some should expire at the time of consent decree termination. It should
also be noted that requirements that become ``permanent'' under title V
are not really permanent--they can be changed or modified by going
through a new permit application.
    Response: For the reasons discussed above, the title V issue raised
by this comment is not directly related to this action. The rule does
not require the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM)
to incorporate all consent decree requirements into construction
permits, only ``control requirements and emission limitations.''
However, some requirements are intended to remain in effect after the
consent decree terminates. Specifically, some consent decrees require a
source to establish emission limitations and control requirements on a
permanent basis (e.g., through a SIP revision or a construction
permit).
    Comment: Not all consent decree requirements are necessarily
instances of noncompliance with existing requirements. If some consent
decree requirements are required to be incorporated into title V
permits and/or construction permits, the consent decree requirements
can be included in a permit application as a compliance schedule for
the alleged non-compliance cited in the consent decree. There is no
need for this additional authority.
    Response: For the reasons discussed above, the title V issue raised
by this comment is not directly related to this action. However, once
the title I permits are issued, the terms are ``applicable
requirements'' under subparagraph (2) of the definition of ``applicable
requirement'' in 40 CFR 70.2 and must be included in the source's title
V permit. Also, the rule does not require IDEM to incorporate all
consent decree provisions into the construction permits, only those
relating to control requirements and emission limitations.
    Comment: It is also curious why the authority is limited to Federal
consent decrees and does not also include state agreed orders.
    Response: The CAA requires SIPs to contain enforceable limitations.
See Section 110(a)(2)(A). It does not address the Federal
enforceability of state agreed orders. As such, it is not necessary to
establish a Federally enforceable requirement pursuant to title I of
the CAA for state orders.
    Comment: Why is there a need for additional public comment for
incorporating Federal consent decree requirements into title V permits?
There is ample time for the public to comment on Federal consent
decrees after the decree is lodged before it is entered by the court.
Any requirements that are required to be put into a permit should be
done as an administrative amendment without any comment by the public
or EPA. Why create additional un-needed bureaucracy?
    Response: For the reasons discussed above, the title V issue raised
by this comment is not directly related to this action because this
action authorizes Indiana to incorporate consent decree terms in
construction permits, not title V permits. The intent of this rule is
to lessen the bureaucratic burden on the state with regards to
implementing consent decree requirements. The method IDEM currently
uses for establishing consent decree requirements as permanent and
Federally enforceable is to adopt them as source-specific SIP
requirements. This process is more resource-intensive and time
consuming than the state construction permit process provided for in
326 IAC 2-7-10.5(b).

III. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is approving Indiana's source construction permit rule
provisions applicable to Part 70 sources at 326 IAC 2-7-10.5(b) and 326
IAC 2-7-10.5(k). These provisions authorize the state to incorporate
terms from Federal consent decrees or Federal district court orders

into these construction permits and provide a public notice requirement
for these actions.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by March 18, 2014. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-69372; File No. SR-NYSE-2013-26]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change
Amending Its Price List To Provide Relief for Floor Brokers From the
Annual Telephone Line Charge for January, February and March 2013

April 15, 2013.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that, on April 2, 2013, New York Stock Exchange LLC (the ``Exchange''
or ``NYSE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend its Price List to provide relief for
Floor brokers from the Annual Telephone Line Charge for January,
February and March 2013, which the Exchange proposes to become
operative as of January 1, 2013. The text of 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
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend its Price List to provide relief for
Floor brokers from the Annual Telephone Line Charge for January,
February and March 2013, which the Exchange proposes to become
operative as of January 1, 2013. The Exchange previously amended its
Price List to provide such relief for November and December 2012.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 68538 (December 27,
2012), 78 FR 335 (January 3, 2013) (SR-NYSE-2012-71) (``Prior Waiver
Filing'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently, member organizations are charged an Annual Telephone
Line Charge of $400 per phone number. The Exchange proposes to waive
the fee for Floor brokers for January, February and March 2013 on a
prorated basis because Hurricane Sandy affected the ability of Floor
brokers to communicate with customers from the Floor.
    As noted in the Prior Waiver Filing, the damage to the telephone
connections was very extensive. While telephone connections became
fully operational by March 31, 2013, a majority of telephone line
connections for Floor brokers were not fully operational during the
January through mid-March 2013 period. In particular, the Exchange
notes that the telephone lines that support both the wired and wireless
connections for Floor brokers were based in an area of lower Manhattan
that suffered extensive damage as a result of Hurricane Sandy.\4\ In
addition to the damage to telephone lines, internet bandwidth was
reduced considerably; however, internet service has been significantly
restored as of March 31, 2013. The Exchange notes that it is waiving
the fee for Floor brokers only because off-Floor member firms were not
impacted by these services. In addition, DMMs are on the Floor but do
not engage in an agency business with customers from the Floor and,
therefore, were not impacted by the telecommunications issues. The
proposed waiver would be $33.33 for each month.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Exchange filed a rule change to temporarily suspend
those aspects of Rules 36.20, 36.21, and 36.30 that would not permit
Floor brokers and Designated Market Makers (``DMMs'') to use
personal portable phone devices on the Floor following the aftermath
of Hurricane Sandy and during the period that phone service was not
fully functional. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 68137
(November 1, 2012), 77 FR 66893 (November 7, 2012) (SR-NYSE-2012-
58). The Exchange subsequently filed to extend the temporary
suspension. See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 68161 (Nov. 5,
2012), 77 FR 67704 (Nov. 13, 2012) (SR-NYSE-2012-61); 68211 (Nov. 9,
2012), 77 FR 69534 (Nov. 19, 2012) (SR-NYSE-2012-64); 68271 (Nov.
20, 2012), 77 FR 70862 (Nov. 27, 2012) (SR-NYSE-2012-67); 68452
(Dec. 17, 2012), 77 FR 75683 (Dec. 21, 2012) (SR-NYSE-2012-73);
68704 (Jan. 22, 2013), 78 FR 5851 (Jan. 28, 2013) (SR-NYSE-2013-06);
and 68958 (Feb. 20, 2013), 78 FR 13127 (Feb. 26, 2013) (SR-NYSE-
2013-14).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As stated above, Hurricane Sandy had a disproportionate impact on
Floor brokers compared with off-Floor member firms and DMMs, including
limited telephone service, no direct customer telephone lines, limited
Internet service, intermittent cellular telephone service at the
Exchange, and persistent busy signals. As a result, Floor brokers faced
greater operating challenges and have experienced reduced activity from
certain accounts and customers compared with pre-Hurricane Sandy
levels. Therefore, Floor brokers are not getting the full benefit of
their licenses.
    The proposed waiver would apply retroactively to January 1, 2013
and would be reflected in the March 2013 billing statement.
    The proposed changes are not otherwise intended to address any
other problem, and the Exchange is not aware of any significant problem
that the affected member organizations would have in complying with the
proposed changes.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\5\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\6\ in particular, because it
provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and
other charges among its members and issuers and other persons using its
facilities and does not unfairly discriminate between customers,
issuers, brokers, or dealers. The Exchange also believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\7\
in particular, because it is 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 mechanisms of, a free and open market and a national
market system and, in general, to protect investors and the public
interest and because it is not designed to permit unfair discrimination
between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange believes that waiving the Annual Telephone Line Charge
for Floor brokers for January, February and March 2013 is reasonable
because Hurricane Sandy affected the ability of Floor brokers to
communicate with customers and the ease with which they could represent
public orders on the Floor. Therefore, the Exchange believes it is
reasonable to provide relief for Floor brokers in this regard.
    The Exchange believes the proposed change to the Annual Telephone
Line Charge for Floor brokers is equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory because Floor brokers are the only class of member
organization that was affected by the telecommunications issues, which
has impacted their ability to conduct their regular business and has
resulted in reduced activity from certain accounts and customers.
Therefore, it is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory to offer the
fee waiver only to Floor brokers, which is the only class of Floor
members not getting the full benefit of their licenses. The Exchange
believes that because communications with customers is a vital part of
a Floor broker's role as agent, during the period when phone service
continues to be intermittent, Floor brokers should receive relief from
the Annual Telephone Line Charge.
    The Exchange believes that the proposed relief for Floor brokers
removes impediments to and perfects the mechanism of a free and open
market and national market system because it would provide relief for
Floor brokers that are experiencing ongoing issues with telephone
service while they are conducting their regular business on the Floor.
The Exchange further believes that the proposed waiver does not permit
unfair discrimination because they would provide relief for Floor
brokers that have been disproportionately impacted in their ability to
operate as agents for customers during this time of unprecedented
weather disruptions.

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 because the proposed change
to the Annual Telephone Line Charge is limited in duration (January
through March, 2013) and Floor brokers are the only class of member
organization affected by the telecommunications issues described above,
which have impacted their ability to conduct their regular business and
have resulted in reduced activity from certain accounts and customers.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not significantly
affect the protection of investors or the public interest, does not
impose any significant burden on competition, and, by its terms, does
not become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed,
or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the
Exchange's 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 of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The
Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day
operative delay. The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day
operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the
public interest. Doing so will allow the Exchange to provide the
proposed relief during the billing period in which the Floor brokers
were affected. Accordingly, the Commission designates the proposal
operative upon filing.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
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 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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