Amendment 39-18409; AD 2016-04-15]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; MD Helicopters Inc., Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for MD
Helicopters, Inc. (MDHI), Model 369A, 369D, 369E, 369FF, 369HE, 369HM,
369HS, 500N, and 600N helicopters with a certain part-numbered main
rotor blade attach pin (pin) installed. This AD requires ensuring the
life limit of the pin as listed in the Airworthiness Limitations
section of aircraft maintenance records and Instructions for Continued
Airworthiness (ICA). If the hours time-in-service (TIS) of a pin is
unknown, or if a pin has exceeded its life limit, this AD requires
removing the affected pin from service. This AD was prompted by a
report from an operator who purchased pins that did not have life limit
documentation. These actions are intended to document the life limit to
prevent a pin remaining in service beyond its fatigue life, which could
result in failure of a pin, failure of a main rotor blade, and
subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

DATES: This AD is effective March 31, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On September 2, 2015, at 80 FR 53028, the Federal Register
published our notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), which proposed to
amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to MDHI Model
369A, 369D, 369E, 369FF, 369HE, 369HM, 369HS, 500N, and 600N
helicopters with a pin part-number (P/N) 369X1004-5 installed. The NPRM
proposed to require determining the number of hours TIS of each pin and
whether the aircraft maintenance records contain a pin life limit. If
the hours TIS are unknown, NPRM proposed to require removing the pin
from service. If the aircraft maintenance records do not contain a pin
life limit, the NPRM proposed to require revising the records and
establishing a life limit of 5,760 hours if the pin is installed on a
Model 369A, 369HE, 369HM, or 369HS helicopter, or 7,600 hours if the
pin is installed on a Model 369D, 369E, 369FF, 500N, or 600N
helicopter. The NPRM also proposed to require revising the records to
add a statement that if a pin is interchanged between different model
helicopters, then its life limit must be restricted to the lower life
limit even if it was originally installed on a helicopter model with a
higher life limit. Lastly, the NPRM proposed to prohibit installing a
pin on any helicopter before these proposed requirements have been
accomplished.
    Aerometals produces pin P/N 369X1004-5 under a parts manufacturer
approval as a replacement pin for MDHI P/N 369A1004-5. The NPRM was
prompted by a report from an operator who purchased Aerometals' pins P/
N 369X1004-5 without life limit documentation. The FAA inadvertently
approved the pins without a life limit in the Airworthiness Limitations
section and without a restriction for parts that are interchanged
between models with different life limits. A total of 5,133 affected
pins were sold by Aerometals without any indication that the parts were
life-limited. The proposed requirements were intended to correct the
failure of these parts to have a documented life limit to prevent a pin
remaining in service beyond its fatigue life, which could result in
failure of a pin, failure of a main rotor blade, and subsequent loss of
control of the helicopter.

Comments

    After our NPRM (80 FR 53028, September 2, 2015) was published, we
received a comment from one commenter supporting the NPRM.

FAA's Determination

    We have reviewed the relevant information and determined that an
unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other
products of these same type designs and that air safety and the public
interest require adopting the AD requirements as proposed.

Related Service Information

    Aerometals has issued Aero-ICA-1001 Supplemental Instructions for
Continued Airworthiness, Revision NC, dated May 22, 2014, and Service
Bulletin Aero-SB-1103, dated July 2, 2014. The service bulletin
specifies determining whether the helicopter has pins P/N 369X1004-5
installed and then reviewing the aircraft maintenance records to
determine if the pins have a life limit identified. If the life limit
is not the same as that listed in the ICA,

the service bulletin specifies revising the life limit in the
maintenance records. The service bulletin states that the pins were
approved by the FAA as parts manufacturer approval direct replacement
parts with the same life limits as the parts they replace. However,
they were sold without an FAA-approved supplemental ICA containing an
Airworthiness Limitations Section specifically assigning these life
limits to the pins.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 118 helicopters of U.S.
Registry. We estimate that operators may incur the following costs in
order to comply with this AD. Labor costs are estimated at $85 per
work-hour. We estimate 1/2 work-hour to inspect and record any update
for a total of $42.50 per helicopter and $5,015 for the U.S. fleet. If
required, we estimate 1 work-hour per helicopter to replace 10 pins
because each blade has 2 pins and each helicopter has 5 blades.
Required parts are $445 for each pin. Based on these estimates, it will
cost $4,535 per helicopter to replace 10 pins if the pins have exceeded
their life limit.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (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);
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction; and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R05-OAR-2005-0563; FRL-8171-1]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Wisconsin;
Wisconsin Construction Permit Permanency SIP Revision; Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects an error in the amendatory instruction
in a final rule which published on February 28, 2006, pertaining to
revisions to the Wisconsin State Implementation Plan which make
permanent all terms of Wisconsin's permits to construct, reconstruct,
replace or modify sources unless the terms are revised through a
revision of the construction permit or issuance of a new construction
permit.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This correcting amendment is effective on May 16, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christos Panos, Environmental
Engineer, Criteria Pollutant Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J),
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, Chicago, Illinois
60604,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by e-mail at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA published a document on February 28,
2006, (71 FR 9934) adding Sec.  52.2587, when Sec.  52.2587 was already
reserved by a previous rulemaking action. This document corrects this
error by redesignating Sec.  52.2587 as Sec.  52.2589.
    Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), provides that, when an agency for good cause finds that
notice and public procedure are impracticable, unnecessary or contrary
to the public interest, the agency may issue a rule without providing
notice and an opportunity for public comment. We have determined that
there is good cause for making this rule final without prior proposal
and opportunity for comment because we are merely correcting an
incorrect citation in a previous action. Thus, notice and public
procedure are unnecessary. We find that this constitutes good cause
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and is therefore not
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. For this
reason, this action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211,
``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355 (May 22, 2001)). Because
the agency has made a ``good cause'' finding that this action is not
subject to notice-and-comment requirements under the Administrative
Procedures Act or any other statute as indicated in the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section above, it is not subject to the regulatory
flexibility provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601
et seq.), or to sections 202 and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform
Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L. 104-4). In addition, this action does not
significantly or uniquely affect small governments or impose a
significant intergovernmental mandate, as described in sections 203 and
204 of UMRA. This rule also 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, as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor
will it have substantial direct effects 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
governments, as specified by Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999). This rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62
FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not economically significant.
    This technical correction action does not involve technical
standards; thus the requirements of section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do
not apply. The rule also does not involve special consideration of
environmental justice related issues as required by Executive Order
12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). In issuing this rule, EPA has
taken the necessary steps to eliminate drafting errors and ambiguity,
minimize potential litigation, and provide a clear legal standard for
affected conduct, as required by section 3 of Executive Order 12988 (61
FR 4729, February 7, 1996). EPA has complied with Executive Order 12630
(53 FR 8859, March 15, 1998) by examining the takings implications of
the rule in accordance with the ``Attorney General's Supplemental
Guidelines for the Evaluation of Risk and Avoidance of Unanticipated
Takings'' issued under the executive order. This rule does not impose
an information collection burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
    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. Section 808 allows the issuing agency to
make a rule effective sooner than otherwise provided by the CRA if the
agency makes a good cause finding that notice

and public procedure is impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the
public interest. This determination must be supported by a brief
statement. 5 U.S.C. 808(2). As stated previously, EPA had made such a
good cause finding, including the reasons therefore, and established an
effective date of May 16, 2006. 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
correction to 40 CFR part 52 for Minnesota is not a ``major rule'' as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2015-1480; Directorate Identifier 2014-SW-071-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters (Previously
Eurocopter France)

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2002-13-
11 for Eurocopter France (now Airbus Helicopters) Model EC120B
helicopters. AD 2002-13-11 currently requires installing front and side
covers on the cabin floor to protect the yaw control at both the pilot
and co-pilot stations. Since we issued AD 2002-13-11, we have
determined that the required actions should apply only to the cabin's
right-hand pilot station. This proposed AD would retain the
requirements of AD 2002-13-11 but for only the pilot station. These
proposed actions are intended to prevent an object from sliding between
the canopy and the cabin floor, loss of yaw control, and subsequent
loss of helicopter control.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by July 13, 2015.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    On June 25, 2002, we issued AD 2002-13-11, Amendment 39-12799 (67
FR 45295, July 9, 2002) for certain serial-numbered Eurocopter France
(now Airbus Helicopters) Model EC120B helicopters. AD 2002-13-11
requires installing front and side covers to protect the yaw control at
the pilot and co-pilot flight control stations. AD 2002-13-11 was
prompted by a report of a mobile phone falling between the windshield
canopy and the cabin floor, jamming the yaw control pedal. Those
actions were intended to prevent an object from sliding between the
canopy and the cabin floor, loss of yaw control, and subsequent loss of
helicopter control.
    AD 2002-13-11 was prompted by AD No. 2001-386-007(A), dated
September 5, 2001, issued by the DGAC, the airworthiness authority for
France, to correct an unsafe condition for the Model EC120B helicopter.
The DGAC advises of a yaw-control jamming caused by an object that slid
between the canopy and the cabin floor.
    The DGAC AD required that front and lateral protections be
installed no later than December 31, 2001, in compliance with paragraph
2.B of Eurocopter Alert Service Bulletin No. 67A005, Revision 0, dated
July 30, 2001. DGAC revised its AD and issued AD 2001-386-007(A) R1,
dated February 6, 2002 (AD 2001-386-007(A)R1), which extended the
compliance deadline to February 28, 2002.

Actions Since AD 2002-13-11 Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2002-13-11 (67 FR 45295, July 9, 2002), we have
determined that the front and side protections are required only at the
pilot station. Therefore, we are proposing to remove the final sentence
in paragraph (a) of the Compliance section of the AD, which requires
that if the helicopter has flight controls at both the pilot and co-
pilot stations, the protections must be

installed at both stations. Also, since we issued AD 2002-13-11, the
format in which we issue ADs has been revised, resulting in changes to
the content and ordering of the AD paragraphs. Eurocopter France has
also changed its name to Airbus Helicopters. This proposed AD reflects
that change and updates the contact information to obtain service
documentation.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
France and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
our bilateral agreement with France, the DGAC, which was France's
technical representative when AD 2001-386-007(A)R1 was issued, notified
us of the unsafe condition described in its AD. We are proposing this
AD because we evaluated all known relevant information and determined
that an unsafe condition is likely to exist or develop on other
products of the same type design.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Eurocopter Alert Service Bulletin No. 67A005, Revision
0, dated July 30, 2001 (ASB), which specifies installing a front and
side protection on the cabin floor to protect the yaw control. The DGAC
classified this ASB as mandatory and issued AD No. 2001-386-007(A),
dated September 5, 2001, and AD 2001-386-007(A)R1, dated February 6,
2002, to ensure the continued airworthiness of these helicopters in
France.
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section of this
NPRM.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require, within 90 days, installing front
and side covers (protections) on the cabin floor at the pilot station
to protect the yaw control.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 37 helicopters of
U.S. Registry and that labor costs would average $85 a work-hour.
Required parts would cost about $584 and it would take about 2 work-
hours to accomplish the proposed actions. Based on these figures, we
estimate that the total cost of this proposed AD would be $754 per
helicopter and $27,898 for the U.S. fleet.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it modifies the route structure as necessary to preserve
the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the NAS.

History

    The FAA published a NPRM for Docket No. FAA-2023-0049, in the
Federal Register (88 FR 7901; February 7, 2023), amending RNAV route Q-
101 in the eastern United States.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. One comment was
received. The commenter expressed support for the proposal.

Incorporation by Reference

    RNAV routes are published in paragraph 2006 of FAA Order JO
7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This
document amends the current version of that order, FAA Order JO
7400.11G, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September 15, 2022. FAA
Order JO 7400.11G is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES
section of this document. These amendments will be published in the
next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11G lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting points.

The Rule

    This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by expanding RNAV route Q-101 in
the eastern United States. This action supports the Northeast Corridor
Atlantic Coast Route Project by linking Q-101 to other east coast Air
Traffic Service routes to enhance air traffic flows.
    The route amendment is as follows:
    Q-101: Q-101 currently extends between the SKARP, NC, waypoint
(WP), and the TUGGR, VA, WP. The FAA is extending Q-101 approximately
10 nautical miles to the north of the TUGGR WP, to the KALDA, VA, Fix.
This provides additional routing options for northbound and southbound
air traffic.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    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
Department of Transportation (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.
Since this is a routine matter that only affects air traffic procedures
and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated,
does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action of extending RNAV route Q-
101 qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National
Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and its implementing
regulations at 40 CFR part 1500, and in accordance with FAA Order
1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5-
6.5a, which categorically excludes from further environmental impact
review rulemaking actions that designate or modify classes of airspace
areas, airways, routes, and reporting points (see 14 CFR part 71,
Designation of Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas; Air Traffic
Service Routes; and Reporting Points); and paragraph 5-6.5b, which
categorically excludes from further environmental impact review
``Actions regarding establishment of jet routes and Federal airways
(see 14 CFR 71.15, Designation of jet routes and VOR Federal airways) .
. .''. As such, this action is not expected to result in any
potentially significant environmental impacts. In accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding Extraordinary Circumstances, the
FAA has reviewed this action for factors and circumstances in which a
normally categorically excluded action may have a significant
environmental impact requiring further analysis. The FAA has determined
that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of
an environmental assessment or environmental impact study.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-62966; File No. SR-CTA-2010-02]

Consolidated Tape Association; Notice of Filing and Immediate
Effectiveness of the Fifteenth Charges Amendment to the Second
Restatement of the Consolidated Tape Association Plan

September 21, 2010.
    Pursuant to Section 11A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 608 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on September 21, 2010, the Consolidated Tape Association (``CTA'') Plan
and participants (``Participants'') \3\ filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') a proposal to amend the Second
Restatement of the CTA Plan (the ``CTA Plan'').\4\ The proposal
represents the fifteenth charges amendment to the CTA Plan (``Fifteenth
Charges Amendment''), and reflects changes unanimously adopted by the
Participants. The Fifteenth Charges Amendment seeks to reduce the
maximum amount that any entity is required to pay for any calendar
month's charge for broadcast, cable or satellite television
distribution of a Network A ticker. Pursuant to Rule 608(b)(3) under
Regulation NMS, the Participants designate the amendment as
establishing or changing a fee or other charge collected on their
behalf in connection with access to, or use of, the facilities
contemplated by the Plans. As a result, the amendment becomes effective
upon filing with the Commission. The Commission is publishing this
notice to solicit comments from interested persons on the proposed
amendment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1.
    \2\ 17 CFR 242.608.
    \3\ Each participant executed the proposed amendment. The
Participants are: BATS Exchange, Inc.; Chicago Board Options
Exchange, Inc.; Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc.; Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority, Inc.; International Securities Exchange, LLC;
NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc.; NASDAQ OMX PHLX, Inc.; The NASDAQ Stock Market
LLC; National Stock Exchange, Inc.; New York Stock Exchange LLC;
NYSE Amex LLC; and NYSE Arca, Inc.
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 10787 (May 10,
1974), 39 FR 17799 (declaring the CTA Plan effective). The CTA Plan,
pursuant to which markets collect and disseminate last sale price
information for non-NASDAQ listed securities, is a ``transaction
reporting plan'' under Rule 601 under the Act, 17 CFR 242.601, and a
``national market system plan'' under Rule 608 under the Act, 17 CFR
242.608.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Rule 608(a)

A. Description and Purpose of the Amendment

    The CTA Plan currently imposes a monthly charge of $2.00 for every
1000 households reached on broadcast, cable and satellite television
distribution of a Network A ticker (the ``Broadcast Charge''). A
minimum monthly vendor payment of $2,000 applies. CTA permits prorating
for those who broadcast the data for less than the entire business day,
based upon the number of minutes that the vendor displays the real-time
ticker, divided by the number of minutes the primary market is open for
trading (currently 390 minutes).
    In 2007, the Participants introduced a cap (the ``Television Ticker
Maximum'') on the Broadcast Charge each calendar month. For months
falling in calendar year 2007, the ``Television Ticker Maximum'' was
$150,000.
    For each subsequent calendar year, the monthly Television Ticker
Maximum increases by the ``Annual Increase Amount.'' The ``Annual
Increase Amount'' is an amount equal to the percentage increase in the
annual composite share volume for the preceding calendar year, subject
to a maximum annual increase of five percent. For 2008, the ``Annual
Increase Amount'' raised the ``Television Ticker Maximum'' to $157,500.
For 2008, the ``Annual Increase Amount'' raised the ``Television Ticker
Maximum'' to $164,000. The ``Annual Increase Amount'' is the same
adjustment factor that the Network A rate schedule has long applied to
the monthly broker-dealer enterprise fee.
    In light of the Network A Participants' experience with the Network
A ticker, the Participants have determined to reduce the Television
Ticker Maximum. In the amendment, the Participants propose to re-set
the Television Ticker Maximum to $125,000 for calendar months falling
in 2010. For calendar months falling in subsequent calendar years, the
Participants would impose the Annual Increase Amount to the Television
Ticker Maximum. For example, for calendar months falling in 2011, the
Participants would increase 2010's $125,000 monthly Television Ticker
Maximum by the Annual Increase Amount.
    The text of the proposed amendment is available on the CTA's Web
site (http://www.nysedata.com/cta), at the principal office of the CTA,
and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

B. Additional Information Required by Rule 608(a)

1. Governing or Constituent Documents
    Not applicable.
2. Implementation of the Amendment
    The reduction in the monthly Television Ticker Maximum currently
affects only one vendor. The Participants have notified that vendor.
The Participants propose to implement the change retroactively so that
it applies to all calendar months of 2010.
3. Development and Implementation Phases
    See Item I(B)(2) above.
4. Analysis of Impact on Competition
    The amendment will impose no burden on competition.
5. Written Understanding or Agreements Relating to Interpretation of,
or Participation in, Plan
    The Participants have no written understandings or agreements
relating to interpretation of the CTA Plan as a result of the
amendment.
6. Approval by Sponsors in Accordance With Plan
    Under Section IV(b) of the CTA Plan, each CTA Plan Participant must
execute a written amendment to the CTA Plan before the amendment can
become effective. The amendment is so executed.
7. Description of Operation of Facility Contemplated by the Proposed
Amendment
    Not applicable.
8. Terms and Conditions of Access
    Not applicable.
9. Method of Determination and Imposition, and Amount of, Fees and
Charges
    The Participants believe that the proposed reduction in the cap on

Broadcast Charges is fair and reasonable and provides for an equitable
allocation of dues, fees, and other charges among vendors, data
recipients and other persons using CTA Network A facilities.
10. Method of Frequency of Processor Evaluation
    Not applicable.
11. Dispute Resolution
    Not applicable.

II. Rule 601(a)

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-71230; File No. SR-ISE-2013-74]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule
Change To Amend the Schedule of Fees

January 2, 2014.
    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 December 20, 2013, the International Securities Exchange, LLC (the
``Exchange'' or the ``ISE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``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 ISE proposes to amend its Schedule of Fees to extend its
Managed Data Access Service Pilot for the sale of a number of real-time
market data products. The text of the proposed rule change is available
on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.ise.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 these statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization
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 June 6, 2013 the ISE implemented a Managed Data Access Service
Pilot that established a new pricing and distribution model for the
sale of a number of real-time market data products.\3\ The Exchange now
proposes to extend that pilot for an additional 6 month period ending
May 30, 2014 so that the Exchange can continue to provide this
alternative delivery option for ISE data feeds.\4\ Managed Data Access
Service is a pricing and administrative option whereby the ISE assesses
fees to Managed Data Access Distributors,\5\ who redistribute market
data to Managed Data Access Recipients.\6\ Managed Data Access
Distributors are required to monitor the delivery of the data
retransmitted to their clients, and must agree to reformat, redisplay
and/or alter the data feeds prior to retransmission without affecting
the integrity of the data feeds and without rendering any of the feeds
inaccurate, unfair, uninformative, fictitious, misleading, or
discriminatory.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 69806 (June 20,
2013), 78 FR 38424 (June 26, 2013) (ISE-2013-39). The Exchange also
offers a similar Managed Data Access Service program for its Implied
Volatility and Greeks Feed. See Securities Exchange Act Release No.
65678 (November 3, 2011), 76 FR 70178 (November 10, 2011) (ISE-2011-
67). This filing does not apply to the Managed Data Access Service
program for the Implied Volatility and Greeks Feed, which is not
operated as a pilot.
    \4\ The current Managed Data Access Service pilot provides an
alternative delivery option for the Real-time Depth of Market Raw
Data Feed (``Depth Feed''), the Order Feed, the Top Quote Feed, and
the Spread Feed.
    \5\ A Managed Data Access Distributor redistributes ISE data
feeds and permits access to the information in those data feeds
through a controlled device. A Managed Data Access Distributor can
also redistribute a data feed solution to specific IP addresses,
including an Application Programming Interface (``API'') or similar
automated delivery solutions, with only limited entitlement controls
(e.g., usernames and/or passwords) to a recipient of the
information.
    \6\ A Managed Data Access Recipient is a subscriber to the
Managed Data Access Distributor who receives a reformatted data feed
in a controlled device or at a specific IP address. Market Data
Access Recipients may be Professional or Non-Professional users.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The current fees for the Managed Data Access Service, which are
proposed to be extended for another 6 month pilot period, are as
follows:
    The Exchange charges a fee to each Managed Data Access Distributor
of $2,500 per month for the Depth Feed, $1,500 for each of the Top
Quote Feed and Spread Feed, and $1,000 per month for the Order Feed.
The Exchange also charges a fee for each IP address at Managed Data
Access Recipients that receive market data redistributed by a Managed
Data Access Distributor, which is $750 per month for the Depth Feed,
$500 per month for each of the Top Quote Feed and Spread Feed, and $350
per month for the Order Feed.\7\ In addition, the Exchange charges a
controlled device fee for each controlled device permitted to access
market data redistributed by a Managed Data Access Distributor to a
Market Data Access Recipient that is a Professional user,\8\ which is
$50 per month for the Depth Feed, $20 per month for the Top Quote Feed,
$25 per month for the Spread Feed, and $10 per month for the Order
Feed.\9\ Finally, the Exchange charges a controlled device fee of $5
per month for each controlled device permitted to access information in
the Depth Feed redistributed by a Managed Data Access Distributor to a
Market Data Access Recipient that is a Non-Professional user.\10\ For
each of the above ISE data feeds, Market Data Access Distributors are
subject to a minimum fee, which is $5,000 per month for the Depth Feed,
$3,000 per month for each of the Top Quote Feed and Spread Feed, and
$2,000 per month for the Order Feed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ This fee is charged per IP address, which covers both
primary and back-up IP addresses at a Managed Data Access Recipient.
    \8\ A ``Professional user'' is an authorized end-user of the ISE
data feeds that has not qualified as a Non-Professional user.
    \9\ A controlled device is any device that a distributor of an
ISE data feed permits to access the information in that data feed.
    \10\ There is no controlled device fee for Non-Professional
users of the Top Quote Feed, Spread Feed, or Order Feed. A ``Non-
Professional user'' is an authorized end-user of the ISE data feeds
who is a natural person and who is neither: (a) Registered or
qualified with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Commodities Futures Trading Commission, any state securities agency,
any securities exchange or association, or any commodities or
futures contract market or association; (b) engaged as an
``investment advisor'' as that term is defined Section 202(a)(11) of
the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (whether or not registered or
qualified under that act); nor (c) employed by a bank or other
organization exempt from registration under Federal and/or state
securities laws to perform functions that would require him/her to
be so registered or qualified if he/she were to perform such
functions for an organization not so exempt.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange is not proposing to make any changes to the fees
currently charged under the Managed Data Access Service program.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,\11\ in general, and
Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\12\ in particular, in that it is designed
to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and
other charges among its members and other persons using its facilities.
The Exchange already runs a Managed Data Access Service program, and is
merely proposing to extend its pilot for an additional 6 month period.
The Exchange initially established this program on a pilot basis in
order gauge the level of interest in this new pricing and distribution
model, and now wishes to extend this pilot so that it may continue to
offer this product. The Exchange continues to believe that the fees for
this program, which will be extended for an additional 6 month period,
are fair and equitable. The Managed Data Access Service promotes
broader distribution of controlled data, while offering a pricing
option that should result in lower fees for subscribers. The Exchange
is constrained in pricing the Managed Data Access Service as these
services are entirely optional, and firms may choose whether or not to
purchase proprietary ISE market data products or to utilize any
specific pricing alternative. Moreover, the program is not unfairly
discriminatory because it provides an opportunity for all distributors
and subscribers, both Professional and Non-Professional, to access the
ISE data feeds at a potentially lower cost.

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    In accordance with Section 6(b)(8) of the Act,\13\ the Exchange
does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden
on intermarket or intramarket competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. To the contrary,
the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change will promote
competition as it extends a pilot that provides an attractive
alternative pricing model for ISE market data. The vigor of competition
for market data is significant and the Exchange believes that this
proposal clearly evidences such competition. ISE proposes to continue
to offer this optional Managed Access Data Service pricing model in
order to keep pace with changes in the industry and evolving customer
needs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any

unsolicited written comments from members or other interested parties.

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)(ii) of the Act \14\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) thereunder,\15\
because it establishes a due, fee, or other charge imposed by ISE.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii).
    \15\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:
