Notice of Availability of the Federal Aviation Administration
Finding of No Significant Impact and Record of Decision for
Establishing the Playas Temporary Military Operations Area, and the
Adoption of the United States Air Force, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base
Personnel Recovery Training Program Environmental Assessment

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Notice of availability of finding of no significant impact/
record of decision.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its
decision to adopt the United States Air Force (USAF) Environmental
Assessment (EA) for the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base Personnel Recovery
Training Program for the establishment of a Temporary Military
Operations Area (TMOA) in Playas, New Mexico. This notice announces
that, based on its independent review and evaluation of the EA and
supporting documents, the FAA is adopting the EA and issuing a Finding
of No Significant Impact (FONSI)/Record of Decision (ROD) for the
establishment of the Playas TMOA.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paula Miller, Airspace Policy and
Regulations Group, Office of Airspace Services, Federal Aviation
Administration, 800 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20591;
telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    A TMOA is needed to support large force personnel recovery training
events, known as Red Flag-Rescue, to ensure combat forces have gained
experience operating jointly before deploying to theater. The Red Flag-
Rescue training events provide the Department of Defense (DoD)
personnel recovery forces combat search and rescue missions in a large
force training event simulating deployed conditions. The Red Flag-
Rescue training events encompass many different types of land-based and
airspace exercises over several states. The subject FAA FONSI/ROD is
only for the activation of the Playas TMOA over Playas, New Mexico, for
a specific exercise within the Red Flag-Rescue.

Implementation

    After evaluating the EA, the FAA has issued a FONSI/ROD to
establish the Playas TMOA for separate Red Flag-Rescue training events.
Each training event is anticipated to last approximately two to three
weeks. The TMOA would only be used during a specified timeframe during
each Red Flag-Rescue training event with specific times of use
announced via Notice to Airmen (NOTAM). The TMOA would only be
activated during an approximate two to three week period, biannually,
for up to four years. The total activation period would not exceed 45
days. The actual times of use of activation would vary from continuous
to day-night windows, scheduled to meet training requirements.
    In accordance with Section 102 of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (``NEPA''), the Council on Environmental Quality's
(``CEQ'') regulations implementing NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500-1508), and
other applicable authorities, including the FAA Order 1050.1F,
Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, paragraph 8-2, and FAA
Order JO 7400.2M, ``Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters,''
paragraph 32-2-3, the FAA has conducted an independent review and
evaluation of the USAF's EA, dated February 2020, and its supporting
documents. As a cooperating agency with responsibility for approving
special use airspace (SUA) under 49 U.S.C. 40103(b)(3)(A), the FAA
provided subject matter expertise and coordinated with the USAF during
the environmental review process.
    The Draft EA was provided for public review for 36 days starting on
September 20, 2019, and ending on October 26, 2019. Fourteen comments
were received on the Draft EA during this time period; however, only
one comment received was specific to the FAA's Proposed Action, and it
requested clarification of the Proposed Action.
    The FONSI/ROD and EA are available upon request by contacting Paula
Miller at: Airspace Policy and Regulations Group, Office of Airspace
Services, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue SW,
Washington, DC 20591; telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this
temporary deviation, call or email Ms. Kashanda Booker, Bridge
Administration Branch Fifth District, Coast Guard; telephone 757-398-
6227, email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The event director, Ocean City, Maryland,
Department of Emergency Services, with approval from the Maryland State
Highway Administration, who owns and operates the U.S. 50 (Harry Kelly)
Bridge, has requested a temporary deviation from the current operating
regulations to accommodate the free movement of pedestrians and
vehicles during the 2017 Ocean City Air Show. The bridge is a double
bascule bridge and has a vertical clearance in the closed position of
13 feet above mean high water.
    The current operating schedule is set out in 33 CFR 117.559. Under
this temporary deviation, the bridge will be maintained in the closed-
to-navigation position from 4:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. on June 16 and 17,
2018. The Isle of Wight (Sinepuxent) Bay is used by a variety of
vessels including small commercial vessels and recreational vessels.
The Coast Guard has carefully considered the nature and volume of
vessel traffic on the waterway in publishing this temporary deviation.
    Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed position may
do so at any time. The bridge will be able to open for emergencies and
there is no immediate alternate route for vessels unable to pass
through the bridge in the closed position. The Coast Guard will also
inform the users of the waterways through our Local and Broadcast
Notice to Mariners of the change in operating schedule for the bridge
so that vessel operators can arrange their transits to minimize any
impacts caused by this temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 17, 2014, the District of Columbia
(the District) through the District Department of Energy and the
Environment (DDOEE) submitted a SIP revision addressing the
infrastructure requirements under section 110(a)(2) of the CAA for the
2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS.

I. Background

    On June 2, 2010, the EPA strengthened the SO2 primary
standards, establishing a new 1-hour primary standard at the level of
75 parts per billion (ppb), based on the 3-year average of the annual
99th percentile of 1-hour daily maximum concentrations (hereafter ``the
2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS''). At the same time, the EPA also
revoked the previous 24-hour and annual primary SO2
standards. See 75 FR 35520 (June 22, 2010). See 40 CFR 50.11. The
previous SO2 air quality standards were set in 1971,
including a 24-hour average primary standard at 140 ppb and an annual
average primary standard at 30 ppb. See 36 FR 8186 (April 30, 1971).
    SO2 is one of a group of highly reactive gases known as
``oxides of sulfur.'' Nationally, the largest sources of SO2
emissions are fossil fuel combustion at power plants and other
industrial facilities. Smaller sources of SO2 emissions
include industrial processes such as extracting metal from ore, and the
burning of high sulfur containing fuels by locomotives, large ships,
and non-road equipment. SO2 is linked with a number of
adverse effects on the respiratory system.
    The CAA requires states to submit, within three years after
promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS, SIPs meeting the applicable
elements of sections 110(a)(1) and (2).\1\ Several of these applicable
elements are delineated within section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) of the CAA.
Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) generally requires SIPs to contain adequate
provisions to prohibit in-state emissions activities from having
certain adverse air quality effects on neighboring states due to
interstate transport of air pollution. There are four prongs within
section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) of the CAA; section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) contains
prongs 1 and 2, while section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) includes prongs 3 and
4. According to the CAA's good neighbor provision located within
section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I), a state's SIP must contain adequate
provisions to prohibit any source or other type of emissions activity
within the state from emitting air pollutants that ``contribute
significantly to nonattainment in, or interfere with maintenance by,
any other state with respect to any such national primary or secondary
ambient air quality standard.'' Under section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) of the
CAA, EPA gives independent significance to the matter of nonattainment
(prong 1) and to that of maintenance (prong 2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ SIP revisions that are intended to meet the requirements of
section 110(a) of the CAA are often referred to as infrastructure
SIPs and the elements under 110(a) are referred to as infrastructure
requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Summary of SIP Revisions and EPA Analysis

    On July 17, 2014, the District, through DDOEE, submitted a revision
to its SIP to satisfy the infrastructure requirements of section
110(a)(2) of the CAA for the 2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS,
including section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I). On April 13, 2015 (80 FR 19538),
the EPA approved the District's infrastructure SIP submittal for the
2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS for all applicable elements of section
110(a)(2) with the exception of 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I).\2\ This rulemaking
action is addressing the portions of the District's infrastructure
submittal for the 2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS that pertain to
transport requirements.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ In the April 13, 2015 action, the EPA also approved the
District's infrastructure SIPs for the 2008 ozone and 2010
NO2 NAAQS, with the exception of the transport elements
in 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I).
    \3\ For the EPA's explanation of its ability to act on discrete
elements of section 110(a)(2), see 80 FR 2865 (Approval and
Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; District of
Columbia; Infrastructure Requirements for the 2008 Ozone, 2010
Nitrogen Dioxide, and 2010 Sulfur Dioxide National Ambient Air
Quality Standards; Approval of Air Pollution Emergency Episode Plan
(January 21, 2015)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The portion of the District's July 17, 2014 SIP submittal
addressing interstate transport (for section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I))
includes an emissions inventory and air quality data that concludes
that the District does not have sources that can contribute with
respect to the 2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS to nonattainment in, or
interfere with maintenance in, any other state. The submittal also
included currently available air quality monitoring data which alleged
that SO2 levels continue to be well below the 2010 1-hour
SO2 NAAQS in the District and in any areas surrounding or
bordering the District. EPA has reviewed current monitoring data for
SO2 and finds monitor data within the District, and in areas
surrounding the District, continue to show no nonattainment issues with
regards to the SO2 NAAQS.
    Additionally, the District described in its submittal several
existing SIP-approved measures and other federally enforceable source-
specific measures, including measures pursuant to permitting
requirements under the CAA, that apply to SO2 sources within
the District. The District alleges with these measures, SO2
emissions within the District are minimal. The EPA finds that the
District's existing SIP provisions, as identified in the July 17, 2014
SIP submittal, are adequate to prevent the District's emission sources
from significantly contributing to nonattainment or interfering with
maintenance in another state with respect to the 2010 1-hour
SO2 NAAQS. In light of these measures, the EPA does not
expect SO2 emissions in the District to increase
significantly, and therefore does not expect monitors in the District
and nearby states to have difficulty continuing to attain or maintain
attainment of the NAAQS. A detailed summary of EPA's review and
rationale for approval of this SIP revision as meeting CAA section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) for the 2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS may be
found in the Technical Support Document (TSD) for this rulemaking
action, which is available online at www.regulations.gov, Docket number
EPA-R03-OAR-2014-0701.

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving the portions of the District's July 17, 2014 SIP
revision addressing interstate transport for the 2010 1-hour
SO2 NAAQS as these portions meet the requirements in section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) of the CAA. EPA is publishing this rule without
prior proposal because EPA views this as a noncontroversial amendment
and anticipates no adverse comment. However, in the ``Proposed Rules''
section of this Federal Register, EPA is publishing a separate document
that will serve as the proposal to approve the SIP revision if adverse
comments are filed. This rule will be effective on December 18, 2017
without further notice unless EPA receives adverse comment by November
17, 2017. If EPA receives adverse comment, EPA will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that the rule
will not take effect. EPA will address all public comments in a
subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. EPA will not
institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties
interested in commenting must do so at this time.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    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 Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     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.

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    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).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    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 December 18, 2017. 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. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules
section of this Federal Register, rather than file an immediate
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can
withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed
rulemaking action. This action, addressing the District's interstate
transport for the 2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS, may not be
challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See
section 307(b)(2).)

      6(g)	Burden Statement

      The average public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to be about one hour per response annually. The average public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information during the first year of the rule is estimated to be 3.8 hours for LQGs (2.3 hours on a one-time basis and 3.1 hours annually), 2.2 hours for SQGs (0.2 hours on a one-time basis and 2.1 hours annually), less than 0.1 hours for VSQGs (with no one-time costs), and 4.8 hours for non-TSDF recycling facilities (with no one-time costs). Under the final rule, the annual cost savings related to information collection requirements are estimated to be 0.1 hours for SQGs and less than 0.1 hours for VSQGs. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.
	To comment on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including the use of automated collection techniques, EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-RCRA-2008-0678, which is available for online viewing at www.regulations.gov, or in person viewing at the RCRA Docket in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, D.C.

[Release No. 34-91496; File No. SR-PEARL-2021-10]

Self-Regulatory Organizations: Notice of Filing and Immediate
Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change by MIAX PEARL, LLC To Amend the
MIAX Pearl Fee Schedule

April 7, 2021.
    Pursuant to the provisions of 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 March 25 2021, MIAX PEARL, LLC (``MIAX Pearl''
or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') a 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 Exchange is filing a proposal to add liquidity indicator codes
to the fee schedule applicable for MIAX Pearl Equities, an equities
trading facility of the Exchange (the ``Fee Schedule''). The Exchange
also proposes to add new Section 4 to the Fee Schedule concerning the
Exchange's obligations under Section 31 of the Act.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78ee.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at http://www.miaxoptions.com/rule-filings/pearl at MIAX
Pearl's principal office, and at the Commission's Public Reference
Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to add liquidity
indicator codes to the MIAX Pearl Equities Fee Schedule. The Exchange
also proposes to add new Section 4 to the Fee Schedule concerning the
Exchange's obligations under Section 31 of the Exchange Act.
Liquidity Indicator Codes
    Liquidity indicator codes would be applied to a transaction so that
the Equity Member \4\ that entered the order

may better understand the fee or rebate that will be applied to the
execution. Each side of a trade would be assigned a liquidity indicator
code in order to identify the scenario under which the trade occurred.
This liquidity indicator code will be returned on the real-time trade
reports sent to the Equity Member that submitted the order. The
Exchange proposes to add a liquidity indicator code table to the Fee
Schedule that would identify the liquidity indicator code, describe the
transaction type, and set forth the applicable fee or rebate.\5\ The
Exchange also proposes to add the standard liquidity indicator codes to
the Fee Schedules Standard Rates table. The proposed liquidity
indicator codes are simply meant to be illustrative and provide Equity
Members increased clarity as to which fee or rebate may ultimately be
applied to their execution. The Exchange does not propose to amend any
fees or rebates.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The term ``Equity Member'' is defined as ``a Member
authorized by the Exchange to transact business on MIAX Pearl
Equities. See Exchange Rule 1901.
    \5\ The use of liquidity indicator codes (aka fee codes) is not
novel and are currently utilized by other equity exchanges. For
example, see the fee schedules of the Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc.
(``EDGX'') available at http://markets.cboe.com/us/equities/membership/fee_schedule/edgx/, Investors Exchange LLC (``IEX'')
available at https://iextrading.com/trading/fees/, and MEMX LLC.
(``MEMX'') available at https://info.memxtrading.com/fee-schedule/.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to describe the below liquidity indicator
codes in the Fee Schedule.
     Liquidity indicator code AA would be applied to a
Displayed \6\ order that adds liquidity in Tape A securities. The
Liquidity Indicator Code and Associated Fees table would specify that
orders that yield liquidity indicator code AA would receive the
existing rebate of $0.0032 per share in securities priced at or above
$1.00 and 0.05% of the transaction's dollar value in securities priced
below $1.00.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The term ``Displayed'' is defined as ``[a]n instruction the
User may attach to an order stating that the order is to be
displayed by the System on the MIAX Pearl Equities Book. See
Exchange Rule 2614(c)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Liquidity indicator code AB would be applied to a
Displayed order that adds liquidity in Tape B securities. The Liquidity
Indicator Code and Associated Fees table would specify that orders that
yield liquidity indicator code AB would receive the existing rebate of
$0.0035 per share in securities priced at or above $1.00 and 0.05% of
the transaction's dollar value in securities priced below $1.00.
     Liquidity indicator code AC would be applied to a
Displayed order that adds liquidity in Tape C securities. The Liquidity
Indicator Code and Associated Fees table would specify that orders that
yield liquidity indicator code AC would receive the existing rebate of
$0.0032 per share in securities priced at or above $1.00 and 0.05% of
the transaction's dollar value in securities priced below $1.00.
     Liquidity indicator code Aa would be applied to a Non-
Displayed \7\ order that adds liquidity in Tape A securities. The
Liquidity Indicator Code and Associated Fees table would specify that
orders that yield liquidity indicator code Aa would receive the
existing rebate of $0.0022 per share in securities priced at or above
$1.00 and 0.05% of the transaction's dollar value in securities priced
below $1.00.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The term ``Non-Displayed'' is defined as ``[a]n instruction
the User may attach to an order stating that any part of the order
is not to be displayed by the System on the MIAX Pearl Equities
Book. See Exchange Rule 2614(c)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Liquidity indicator code Ab would be applied to a Non-
Displayed order that adds liquidity in Tape B securities. The Liquidity
Indicator Code and Associated Fees table would specify that orders that
yield liquidity indicator code Ab would receive the existing rebate of
$0.0022 per share in securities priced at or above $1.00 and 0.05% of
the transaction's dollar value in securities priced below $1.00.
     Liquidity indicator code Ac would be applied to a Non-
Displayed order that adds liquidity in Tape C securities. The Liquidity
Indicator Code and Associated Fees table would specify that orders that
yield liquidity indicator code Ab would receive the existing rebate of
$0.0022 per share in securities priced at or above $1.00 and 0.05% of
the transaction's dollar value in securities priced below $1.00.
     Liquidity indicator code O would be applied to an order
that is executed during MIAX Pearl Equities' Opening or Re-Opening
process.\8\ The Liquidity Indicator Code and Associated Fees table
would specify that orders that yield liquidity indicator code O would
be subject to the existing rate and provided free of charge in
securities priced at or above $1.00 and securities priced below $1.00.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Exchange Rule 2615 for a description of the MIAX Pearl
Equities Opening and Re-Opening process.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Liquidity indicator code RA would be applied to a
Displayed order \9\ that removes liquidity in Tape A securities. The
Liquidity Indicator Code and Associated Fees table would specify that
orders that yield liquidity indicator code Ra would be subject to the
existing fee of $0.0028 per share in securities priced at or above
$1.00 and 0.05% of the transaction's dollar value in securities priced
below $1.00.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The Exchange notes that, unlike orders that add liquidity,
whether an order that removes liquidity is either Displayed or Non-
Displayed does not impact the applicable rate. The Exchange proposes
to provide separate liquidity indicator codes based on whether the
order that removes liquidity was Displayed or Non-Displayed as a
convenience to Equity Members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Liquidity indicator code RB would be applied to a
Displayed order that removes liquidity in Tape B securities. The
Liquidity Indicator Code and Associated Fees table would specify that
orders that yield liquidity indicator code RB would be subject to the
existing fee of $0.0027 per share in securities priced at or above
$1.00 and 0.05% of the transaction's dollar value in securities priced
below $1.00.
     Liquidity indicator code RC would be applied to a
Displayed order that removes liquidity in Tape C securities. The
Liquidity Indicator Code and Associated Fees table would specify that
orders that yield liquidity indicator code RC would be subject to the
existing fee of $0.0028 per share in securities priced at or above
$1.00 and 0.05% of the transaction's dollar value in securities priced
below $1.00.
     Liquidity indicator code Ra would be applied to a Non-
Displayed order that removes liquidity in Tape A securities. The
Liquidity Indicator Code and Associated Fees table would specify that
orders that yield liquidity indicator code Ra would be subject to the
existing fee of $0.0028 per share in securities priced at or above
$1.00 and 0.05% of the transaction's dollar value in securities priced
below $1.00.
     Liquidity indicator code Rb would be applied to a Non-
Displayed order that removes liquidity in Tape B securities. The
Liquidity Indicator Code and Associated Fees table would specify that
orders that yield liquidity indicator code Rb would be subject to the
existing fee of $0.0027 per share in securities priced at or above
$1.00 and 0.05% of the transaction's dollar value in securities priced
below $1.00.
     Liquidity indicator code Rc would be applied to a Non-
Displayed order that removes liquidity in Tape C securities. The
Liquidity Indicator Code and Associated Fees table would specify that
orders that yield liquidity indicator code Rc would be subject to the
existing fee of $0.0028 per share in securities priced at or above
$1.00 and 0.05% of the transaction's dollar value in securities priced
below $1.00.
     Liquidity indicator code X would be applied to an order
that is routed to and executed on an away market. The Liquidity
Indicator Code and Associated Fees table would specify that orders that
yield liquidity indicator code X would be subject to the existing fee
of $0.0030 per share in securities priced at or above $1.00 and 0.30%
of the dollar value of

a transaction in securities priced below $1.00.
    The Exchange also proposes to add the above liquidity indicator
codes to the Standard Rates table. Specifically, liquidity indicator
codes AA, AB, and AC would be added to the ``Added Liquidity Displayed
Order'' column, liquidity indicator codes Aa, Ab, and Ac would be added
to the ``Added Liquidity Non-Displayed Order'' column, liquidity
indicator codes RA, RB, RC, Ra, Rb, and Rc would be added to the
``Removing Liquidity'' column, liquidity indicator code X would be
added to the ``Routing and Removing Liquidity'' column, and liquidity
indicator code O would be added to the ``Opening and Re-Opening
Process'' column.
    Due to the technological changes associated with the proposed
liquidity indicator codes, the Exchange will issue a trading alert
publicly announcing the implementation date of when the liquidity
indicator codes would be available. The Exchange anticipates that the
implementation date will be in either the second or third quarter of
2021.
Section 31
    The Exchange also proposes to add new Section 4 to the Fee Schedule
concerning the Exchange's obligations under Section 31 of the Act.
Exchange Rule 3000(b) describes the Exchange's obligations under
Section 31 of the Act and provides that ``[e]ach Equity Member engaged
in executing transactions on MIAX Pearl Equities shall pay, in such
manner and at such times as the Exchange shall direct, a Regulatory
Transaction Fee equal to (i) the rate determined by the Commission to
be applicable to covered sales occurring on the Exchange in accordance
with Section 31 of the Exchange Act multiplied by (ii) the Equity
Member's aggregate dollar amount of covered sales occurring on MIAX
Pearl Equities during any computational period. Exchange Rule 3000(c)
provides that ``[t]o the extent the Exchange is charged a fee by a
third party that results directly from an Equity Member cross-
connecting its trading hardware to the Exchange's System from another
Trading Center's system that is located in the same data center as the
Exchange, the Exchange will pass that fee on, in full, to the Equity
Member.''
    The Exchange proposed to add Section 4 to the Fee Schedule to
reference the fees described under Exchange Rule 3000. Proposed Section
4 would provide that ``[a]dditional fees are set forth in Rule 3000 of
the MIAX Pearl Rule book.'' Proposed Section 4 would further provide
that ``[s]uch fees include Regulatory Transaction Fees collected to
fund the Exchange's Section 31 obligations.'' The Exchange notes that
this proposed addition is to provide additional specificity to the Fee
Schedule. The Exchange currently includes a similar provision in its
fee schedule for its options trading facility.\10\ The Exchange's
affiliates, the Miami International Securities Exchange, LLC (``MIAX'')
and MIAX Emerald, LLC (``Emerald''), also include similar provisions in
their respective fee schedules.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Section 2(a) of the Exchange's options fee schedule
available at https://www.miaxoptions.com/sites/default/files/fee_schedule-files/MIAX_PEARL_Options_Fee_Schedule_03012021.pdf.
    \11\ See, e.g., Section 2(a) of the MIAX fee schedule available
at https://www.miaxoptions.com/sites/default/files/fee_schedule-files/MIAX_Options_Fee_Schedule_01_13_21.pdf, and Section 2(a) of
Emerald's fee schedule available at https://www.miaxoptions.com/sites/default/files/fee_schedule-files/MIAX_Emerald_Fee_Schedule_03_24_2021.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to amend its Fee Schedule
is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act \12\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \13\ in
particular, in that it is an equitable allocation of reasonable fees
and other charges among its members and issuers and other persons using
its facilities. The Exchange repeats that is does not propose to amend
any fees or rebates. The proposal simply seek to provide additional
specificity within the Fee Schedule to provide Equity Members greater
certainty about what fee or rebate would apply to their transaction and
to reference the applicable Exchange Rules regarding the Exchange's
obligations under Section 31 of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed liquidity indicator codes are equitable and reasonable
because they are simply meant to be illustrative and provide Equity
Members increased clarity as to which fee or rebate may ultimately be
applied to their execution. As discussed above, each side of a trade
would be assigned a liquidity indicator code in order to identify the
scenario under which the trade occurred. This liquidity indicator code
would be returned on the real-time trade reports sent to the Equity
Member that submitted the order. The use of liquidity indicator codes
is not unique to the Exchange and are currently utilized and described
in the fee schedules of other equity exchanges.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See supra note 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange's proposal to add new Section 4 referencing Exchange
Rule 3000 regarding fee charged pursuant to Section 31 of the Act is
also equitable and reasonable because it is simple intended to provide
additional information regarding the Exchange's obligations under
Section 31 of the Act and how fees may be passed through to the Equity
Member. The Exchange currently includes a similar provision in its fee
schedule for its options trading facility and similar language is in
the fee schedules of other exchanges.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See supra notes 10 and 11.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Lastly, both of the proposed changes are not unfairly
discriminatory because they will apply equally to all Equity Members.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed fee change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. Rather, the proposed change is
not designed to have a competitive impact and does not seek to amend
any of the Exchange's current fees or rebates. The proposal is simply
intended to provide additional specificity in the Fee Schedule so that
Equity Members may connect an execution to the applicable fee or
rebate. The proposal also seeks to reference the Exchange's obligations
under Section 31 of the Act by reference the applicable Exchange Rule
3000 so that the Exchange's Section 31 obligations are referenced in
the Fee Schedule making the Fee Schedule more comprehensive.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act,\16\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) \17\ 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 shall institute proceedings to determine whether the
proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

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
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 would establish Class E airspace at Washington Island Airport, in
support of IFR operations at the airport.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in
triplicate to the address listed above. Commenters wishing the FAA to
acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with
those comments a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the
following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2018-0018;
Airspace Docket No. 17-AGL-20.'' The postcard will be date/time stamped
and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received before the specified closing date for
comments will be considered before taking action on the proposed rule.
The proposal contained in this notice may be changed in light of the
comments received. A report summarizing each substantive public contact
with FAA personnel concerned with this rulemaking will be filed in the
docket.

    An electronic copy of this document may be downloaded through the
internet at http://www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking
documents can also be accessed through the FAA's web page at http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/airspace_amendments/.
    You may review the public docket containing the proposal, any
comments received, and any final disposition in person in the Dockets
Office (see the ADDRESSES section for the address and phone number)
between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except federal
holidays. An informal docket may also be examined during normal
business hours at the Federal Aviation Administration, Air Traffic
Organization, Central Service Center, Operations Support Group, 10101

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, and effective
September 15, 2017. FAA Order 7400.11B is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class E airspace area
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to within a 6.0-mile
radius of Washington Island Airport, Washington Island, WI, to
accommodate new standard instrument approach procedures. This action
would enhance safety and the management of IFR operations at the
airport.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15,
2017, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
