SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human
health, farm worker, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry;
pesticide users; and members of the public interested in the sale,
distribution, or use of pesticides. Since others also may be
interested, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific
entities that may be affected by this action. If you have any questions
regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity,
consult the Chemical Review Manager identified in the Table in Unit IV.

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low-income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human
health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticides
discussed in this document, compared to the general population.

II. Background

    Registration review is EPA's periodic review of pesticide
registrations to ensure that each pesticide continues to satisfy the
statutory standard for registration, that is, the pesticide can perform
its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on human
health or the environment. As part of the registration review process,
the Agency has completed comprehensive draft human health and/or
ecological risk assessments for all pesticides listed in the Table in
Unit IV. After reviewing comments received during the public

comment period, EPA may issue a revised risk assessment, explain any
changes to the draft risk assessment, and respond to comments and may
request public input on risk mitigation before completing a proposed
registration review decision for the pesticides listed in the Table in
Unit IV. Through this program, EPA is ensuring that each pesticide's
registration is based on current scientific and other knowledge,
including its effects on human health and the environment.

III. Authority

    EPA is conducting its registration review of the chemicals listed
in the Table in Unit IV pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Procedural
Regulations for Registration Review at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C.
Section 3(g) of FIFRA provides, among other things, that the
registrations of pesticides are to be reviewed every 15 years. Under
FIFRA, a pesticide product may be registered or remain registered only
if it meets the statutory standard for registration given in FIFRA
section 3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)). When used in accordance with
widespread and commonly recognized practice, the pesticide product must
perform its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on
the environment; that is, without any unreasonable risk to man or the
environment, or a human dietary risk from residues that result from the
use of a pesticide in or on food.

IV. What action is the Agency taking?

    Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58, this notice announces the availability
of EPA's human health and/or ecological risk assessments for the
pesticides shown in the following table and opens a 60-day public
comment period on the risk assessments. For tolfenpyrad, EPA is taking
comment on both the Preliminary Work Plan and the draft human health
and ecological risk assessments. For phosmet and phorate, only the
ecological risk assessments are being published for comment.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2009-N-0043]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Irradiation in the Production, Processing, and
Handling of Food

AGENCY:  Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION:  Notice.

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

SUMMARY:  The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing an
opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain
information by the agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(the PRA), Federal agencies are required to publish notice in the
Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an existing collection of
information, and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the
notice. This notice solicits comments on the information collection
provisions of FDA's requirements for food irradiation processors. This
notice also notifies the public of and solicits comments on FDA's
proposal to transfer the collection of information and associated
burden hours from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control
number 0910-0549 to the subject collection of information (OMB control
number 0910-0186).

DATES:  Submit written or electronic comments on the collection of
information by April 14, 2009.

ADDRESSES:  Submit electronic comments on the collection of information
to http://www.regulations.gov. Submit written comments on the
collection of information to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-
305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061,
Rockville, MD 20852. All comments should be identified with the docket
number found in brackets in the heading of this document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Jonna Capezzuto, Office of
Information Management (HFA-710), Food and Drug Administration, 5600
Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from OMB for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. ``Collection of information'' is
defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes agency
requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports,
keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning
each proposed collection of information, including each proposed
extension of an existing collection of information, before submitting
the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement,
FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set
forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether

the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of FDA's functions, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected;
and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information
technology.

Irradiation in the Production, Processing, and Handling of Food--21 CFR
Part 179 (OMB Control Number 0910-0186)--Extension

    Under sections 201(s) and 409 of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 321(s) and 348), food irradiation is
subject to regulation under the food additive premarket approval
provisions of the act. The regulations providing for uses of
irradiation in the production, processing, and handling of food are
found in part 179 (21 CFR part 179). To ensure safe use of a radiation
source, Sec.  179.21(b)(1) requires that the label of sources bear
appropriate and accurate information identifying the source of
radiation and the maximum (or minimum and maximum) energy of radiation
emitted by x-ray tube sources. Section 179.21(b)(2) requires that the
label or accompanying labeling bear adequate directions for
installation and use and a statement supplied by FDA that indicates
maximum dose of radiation allowed. Section 179.26(c) requires that the
label or accompanying labeling bear a logo and a radiation disclosure
statement. Section 179.25(e) requires that food processors who treat
food with radiation make and retain, for 1 year past the expected shelf
life of the products up to a maximum of 3 years, specified records
relating to the irradiation process (e.g., the food treated, lot
identification, scheduled process, etc.). The records required by Sec.
179.25(e) are used by FDA inspectors to assess compliance with the
regulation that establishes limits within which radiation may be safely
used to treat food. The agency cannot ensure safe use without a method
to assess compliance with the dose limits, and there are no practicable
methods for analyzing most foods to determine whether they have been
treated with ionizing radiation and are within the limitations set
forth in part 179. Records inspection is the only way to determine
whether firms are complying with the regulations for treatment of foods
with ionizing radiation.
    In this request for extension of OMB approval, FDA proposes to
include and consolidate into the subject collection of information (OMB
control number 0910-0186) the collection of information and associated
burden hours from OMB control number 0910-0549. This inclusion is
reflected in the estimated burden reported in table 1 of this document,
which has increased by the addition of one recordkeeper in the large
processors line, increasing the number of estimated recordkeepers from
two to three.
    Description of Respondents: Respondents are businesses engaged in
the irradiation of food.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

    FDA bases its estimate of burden for the recordkeeping provisions
of Sec.  179.25(e) on the agency's experience regulating the safe use
of radiation as a direct food additive. The number of firms who process
food using irradiation is extremely limited. FDA estimates that there
are three irradiation plants whose business is devoted primarily (i.e.,
approximately 100 percent) to irradiation of food and other
agricultural products. Four other firms also irradiate small quantities
of food. FDA estimates that this irradiation accounts for no more than
10 percent of the business for each of these firms. Therefore, the
average estimated burden is based on: Three facilities devoting 100
percent of their business to food irradiation (3 x 300 hours = 900
hours for recordkeeping annually); four facilities devoting 10 percent
of their business to food irradiation (4 x 30 hours = 120 hours for
recordkeeping annually).
    No burden has been estimated for the labeling requirements in
Sec. Sec.  179.21(b)(1) and (b)(2) and 179.26(c) because the
information to be disclosed is information that has been supplied by
FDA. Under 5 CFR 1320.3(c)(2), the public disclosure of information
originally supplied by the Federal Government to the recipient for the
purpose of disclosure to the public is not a collection of information.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2011-0994; Directorate Identifier 2010-NM-143-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2C10
(Regional Jet Series 700, 701, & 702), CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series
705), and CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above that would supersede an existing AD. This
proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information
(MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to
identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The
MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

    The right-hand inboard main landing gear (MLG) door of a CRJ 700
departed the aircraft during the landing phase of flight. The door
damaged the trailing edge flap and punctured the rear fuselage near
the floor level. The aircraft landed safely. Preliminary
investigation indicates the failure was initiated by fatigue of the
panel structure near a panel hinge lug. Loss of the main landing
gear door during flight could result in damage to the aircraft and
injury to persons on the ground.
* * * * *
The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the
unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by November 21,
2011.

Discussion

    On June 28, 2006, we issued AD 2006-14-05, Amendment 39-14676 (71
FR 38979, July 11, 2006). That AD required actions intended to address
an unsafe condition on the products listed above.
    Since we issued AD 2006-14-05, Amendment 39-14676 (71 FR 38979,
July 11, 2006), we have determined it is necessary to require a new
modification of the MLG door configuration. We have also removed
airplanes equipped with the new MLG door during production from the
applicability of this NPRM. Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA),
which is the aviation authority for Canada, has issued Canadian
Airworthiness Directive CF-2003-23R3, dated May 21, 2010 (referred to
after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    The right-hand inboard main landing gear (MLG) door of a CRJ 700
departed the aircraft during the landing phase of flight. The door
damaged the trailing edge flap and punctured the rear fuselage near
the floor level. The aircraft landed safely. Preliminary
investigation indicates the failure was initiated by fatigue of the
panel structure near a panel hinge lug. Loss of the main landing
gear door during flight could result in damage to the aircraft and
injury to persons on the ground.
    Subsequent to the issuance of Revision 1 of this directive,
Transport Canada (TC) approved an alternate means of compliance
(AMOC), AARDG 2004/A007, to allow extension of the repeat inspection
interval when inboard MLG doors have incorporated certain repairs or
modifications.
    Subsequent to the issuance of the TC AMOC AARDG 2004/A007, an
inboard MLG door departed from an aircraft operating under an AMOC
equivalent to TC AMOC AARDG 2004/007. As a result of this incident,
this directive was revised to Revision 2 to introduce additional
inspection requirements according to Bombardier Alert Service
Bulletin A670-32-016. In addition, Revision 2 also eliminated
escalation of the repeat inspection interval allowed in TC AMOC
AARDG 2004/007 and revised the aircraft applicability to add a new
aircraft model.
    Since the issuance of Revision 2 of this directive, TC approved
an AMOC, AARDG 2006-A051, to allow the installation of a new
modified MLG door configuration and to perform alternative
inspection. Service history shows that this new modified MLG door
configuration resolves the safety concerns associated with this
directive.
    Revision 3 of this directive mandates the incorporation of the
new modified MLG door configuration in accordance with Bombardier
Aerospace Service Bulletin (SB) 670BA-32-017 as the terminating
action. In addition, this revision restricts the applicability to
aircraft not equipped with the new modified MLG door configuration
at delivery.

You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

    We have also revised paragraph (j)(2) of this NPRM to remove
reference to Task Cards 32-12-01-000-801-A01 and 32-12-01-400-801-A01
of the Bombardier CRJ 700/900 Series Regional Jet Aircraft Maintenance
Manual. We

added Note 2 to this NPRM to refer to these tasks cards as additional
sources of guidance for replacing the lower panel assembly. Operators
may contact the International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane
Directorate, FAA, for information regarding the use of the task cards
for replacing the lower panel assembly, as required by paragraph (j)(2)
of this AD.

Relevant Service Information

    Bombardier has issued Alert Service Bulletin A670BA-32-016,
Revision F, dated May 14, 2010, including Appendices A and B, dated
June 2, 2005; and Service Bulletin 670BA-32-017, Revision C, dated May
14, 2010. The actions described in this service information are
intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have proposed different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 220 products of U.S. registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2006-14-05, Amendment 39-14676
(71 FR 38979, July 11, 2006), and retained in this proposed AD take
about 3 work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per
work hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the currently
required actions is $255 per product.
    We estimate that it would take about 115 work-hours per product to
comply with the new basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about $0 per
product. Where the service information lists required parts costs that
are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no
charge for these costs. As we do not control warranty coverage for
affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated
here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD
on U.S. operators to be $2,150,500, or $9,775 per product.

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 above, 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); and
    3. 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 a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-77378; File No. SR-NASDAQ-2016-037]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To
Amend Transaction Fees at Rule 7018(a)

March 16, 2016.
    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 March 7, 2016, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (``Nasdaq'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``SEC'' or ``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 the
Substance of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend the Exchange's transaction fees at
Rules 7018(a)(2) and (3) to provide a new credit to members for
displayed quotes/orders (other than Supplemental Orders or Designated
Retail Orders) that provide liquidity in Tape A and B securities.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://nasdaq.cchwallstreet.com, at the principal office of
the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant 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 amend Rule 7018(a)(2)
and (3), concerning the fees and credits provided for the use of the
order execution and routing services of the Nasdaq Market Center by
members for all securities priced at $1 or more that it trades. The
Exchange is proposing to provide a new credit to members for displayed
quotes/orders (other than Supplemental Orders or Designated Retail
Orders) that provide liquidity in

Tape \3\ A and B securities in addition to other credits provided under
Rules 7018(a)(2) and (3) for displayed quotes/orders (other than
Supplemental Orders or Designated Retail Orders).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ There are three categories, or ``Tapes'' of securities,
which are based on listing venue. Tape A securities are those that
are listed on NYSE, Tape B securities are those that are listed on
exchanges other than Nasdaq or NYSE, and Tape C securities are those
that are listed on the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently under Rules 7018(a)(2) and (3), the Exchange provides
credits ranging from $0.0020 per share executed to $0.00305 per share
executed to members for displayed quotes/orders (other than
Supplemental Orders or Designated Retail Orders) if they qualify by
meeting the requirements of the various credit tiers under the rules.
    The Exchange is proposing to provide a new $0.0001 per share
executed credit that would be provided to members for displayed quotes/
orders (other than Supplemental Orders or Designated Retail Orders) in
Tape A and B securities if they have shares of liquidity provided in
all securities during the month representing at least 0.2% of
Consolidated Volume \4\ during the month, through one or more of its
Nasdaq Market Center MPIDs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Consolidated Volume is the total consolidated volume
reported to all consolidated transaction reporting plans by all
exchanges and trade reporting facilities during a month in equity
securities, excluding executed orders with a size of less than one
round lot. For purposes of calculating Consolidated Volume and the
extent of a member's trading activity, expressed as a percentage of
or ratio to Consolidated Volume, the date of the annual
reconstitution of the Russell Investments Indexes shall be excluded
from both total Consolidated Volume and the member's trading
activity. See Rule 7018(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As noted, this rebate will be provided in addition to other
displayed liquidity credits that a member qualifies for under Rules
7018(a)(2) and (3), and will also be provided in addition to any
rebates that a member qualifies for under the ISP, NBBO, and QMM
programs under Rule 7014. The proposed rebate, however, will not be
additive to LMM rebates under Rule 7014 or Designated Retail Order
credits under Rule 7018.
    The Exchange is implementing the proposed credit on March 7, 2016,
at which time any member that qualifies will begin to receive the
credit. The measurement period for the Consolidated Volume required to
qualify for the new credit will initially be calculated based on such
volume provided from March 7, 2016 through March 31, 2016, and then
monthly thereafter. For example, a member with shares of liquidity
provided in all securities through one or more of its Nasdaq Market
Center MPIDs that represent more than 0.10% of Consolidated Volume
during the month would qualify for a $0.0025 per share executed credit
under Rule 7018(a). If the member provides 0.21% of Consolidated Volume
from March 7, 2016 through March 31, 2016 it would qualify for the new
$0.0001 additional per share executed credit. The member's credit for
displayed quotes/orders (other than Supplemental Orders or Designated
Retail Orders) in Tape A and B securities from March 1, 2016 through
March 4, 2016 would be $0.0025 per share executed, and from March 7,
2016 through March 31, 2016 would be $0.0026 per share executed
($0.0025 credit + $0.0001 credit). If a member did not provide 0.2% of
Consolidated Volume from March 7, 2016 through March 31, 2016 the
member would not qualify for the additional $0.0001 credit. This is
true regardless of the percent of Consolidated Volume provided for the
whole month of March.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with section
6(b) of the Act \5\ in general, and furthers the objectives of sections
6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act \6\ in particular, in that it provides
for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges
among members and issuers and other persons using any facility or
system which the Exchange operates or controls, and 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) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed new credit is reasonable
because it may provide incentive to members to increase the level of
liquidity provided to the Exchange, which will in turn benefit all
market participants. Providing credits for displayed quotes/orders
(other than Supplemental Orders or Designated Retail Orders) rewards
members for improving the market through displayed liquidity. As such,
the Exchange believes that providing an additional credit for such
liquidity is reasonable.
    The Exchange also believes that it is reasonable to limit the
credit to only quotes/orders in Tape A and B securities because the
Exchange has observed a decline in overall volume on the Exchange in
Tape A and B securities in comparison to Tape C securities, and is thus
providing incentive to members to provide displayed liquidity in Tape A
and B securities.
    Further, the Exchange has limited funds with which to apply in the
form of incentives, and thus must deploy those limited funds to
incentives that it believes will be the most effective and improve
market quality in areas that the Exchange determines are in need of
improvement. The Exchange believes that the proposed increased credit
is an equitable allocation and is not unfairly discriminatory because
the Exchange will provide the credit to all members that qualify for it
under the rule.

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 not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. In terms of inter-market
competition, the Exchange notes that it operates in a highly
competitive market in which market participants can readily favor
competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be
excessive, or rebate opportunities available at other venues to be more
favorable. In such an environment, the Exchange must continually adjust
its fees to remain competitive with other exchanges and with
alternative trading systems that have been exempted from compliance
with the statutory standards applicable to exchanges. Because
competitors are free to modify their own fees in response, and because
market participants may readily adjust their order routing practices,
the Exchange believes that the degree to which fee changes in this
market may impose any burden on competition is extremely limited.
    In this instance, the proposed new credit for displayed liquidity
in Tape A and B securities is reflective of robust competition among
exchanges and other trading venues and does not place any burden on
competition whatsoever. The credit is designed to provide additional
incentive to members to enter displayed quotes and orders in Tape A and
B securities traded on the Exchange, which are most in need of
improvement. To the extent the incentive is successful; it will benefit
all market participants trading in such securities on the Exchange.
    Last, although the Exchange does not believe the proposed changes
will be unattractive to market participants, if the changes were
unattractive then it is likely that the Exchange would lose market
share as a result. Accordingly, the Exchange does not believe that the
proposed changes will impair the ability of members or competing order
execution venues to maintain their competitive standing in the
financial markets.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or 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.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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: (i)
Necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the
protection of investors; or (iii) 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.
