A. Regulatory History and Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment, pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' The Coast Guard also is issuing this rule fewer than 30
days after publication in the Federal Register, pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3). The Coast Guard received the information about the fireworks
display on May 7, 2012, and the fireworks display would occur before
the rulemaking process would be completed. Because of the dangers posed
by the pyrotechnics used in this fireworks display, the safety zone is
necessary to provide for the safety of event participants, spectators,
spectator craft, and other vessels transiting the event area. For the
safety concerns noted, it is in the public interest to have these
regulations in effect during the event. Therefore, the Coast Guard
finds that good cause exists for making this rule effective without
prior notice and comment, and fewer than 30 days after publication in
the Federal Register.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the rule is 33 U.S.C. 1231; 46 U.S.C. Chapter
701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6,
160.5; Public Law 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064; Department of Homeland
Security Delegation No. 0170.1, which collectively authorize the Coast
Guard to establish safety zones.
    The City of Vallejo will sponsor the Independence Day Fireworks
Celebration for the City of Vallejo on July 4, 2012, on Mare Island
near Vallejo, CA in position 38[deg]06'09'' N, 122[deg]16'15'' W (NAD
83) as depicted in National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) Chart 18655. Upon the commencement of the fireworks display, the
safety zone will encompass the navigable waters around the launch site
within a radius of 420 feet. The fireworks display is meant for
entertainment purposes. This restricted area around the launch site is
necessary to protect spectators, vessels, and other property from the
hazards associated with the pyrotechnics. The Coast Guard has granted
the event sponsor a marine event permit for the fireworks display.

C. Discussion of the Final Rule

    The Coast Guard will enforce a safety zone in navigable waters
around the land based launch site on Mare Island near Vallejo, CA. Upon
the commencement of the 20 minute fireworks display, scheduled to take
place from 9:30 p.m. to 9:50 p.m. on July 4, 2012, the safety zone will
encompass the navigable waters around the fireworks launch site within
a radius 420 feet from position 38[deg]06'09'' N, 122[deg]16'15'' W
(NAD 83) for the Independence Day Fireworks Celebration for the City of
Vallejo. At the conclusion of the fireworks display the safety zone
will terminate.
    The effect of the temporary safety zone will be to restrict
navigation in the vicinity of the launch site until the conclusion of
the scheduled display. Except for persons or vessels authorized by the
Coast Guard Patrol Commander, no person or vessel may enter or remain
in the restricted area. These regulations are needed to keep spectators
and vessels away from the immediate vicinity of the launch site to
ensure the safety of participants, spectators, and transiting vessels.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes and executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    The safety zone is not a significant regulatory action because it
is limited in duration, and is limited to a narrowly tailored
geographic area. In addition, although this rule restricts access to
the waters encompassed by the safety zone, the effect of this rule will
not be significant because the local waterway users will be notified
via public Broadcast Notice to Mariners to ensure the safety zone will
result in minimum impact. The entities most likely to be affected are
waterfront facilities, commercial vessels, and pleasure craft engaged
in recreational activities.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The Coast Guard
certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    This rule may affect owners and operators of waterfront facilities,
commercial vessels, and pleasure craft engaged in recreational
activities and sightseeing. This safety zone would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
for the following reasons. This safety zone would be activated, and
thus subject to enforcement, for a limited duration. When the safety
zone is activated, vessel traffic could pass safely around the safety
zone. The maritime public will be advised in advance of this safety
zone via Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,
above.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and determined
that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places, or vessels.

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it 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.

12. Energy Effects

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined
that this action is one of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves a safety zone of limited size and
duration. This rule is categorically excluded from further review under
paragraph 34(g) and 35(b) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction.
An environmental analysis checklist supporting this determination and a
Categorical Exclusion Determination are available in the docket where
indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may
lead to the discovery of a significant environmental impact from this
rule.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-80050; File No. SR-BatsBZX-2017-13]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Bats BZX Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To Amend
Its Option Regulatory Fees as They Relate to the Equity Options
Platform

February 16, 2017.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on February 8, 2017, Bats BZX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
``BZX'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Exchange has designated the proposed rule change as one establishing or
changing a member due, fee, or other charge imposed by the Exchange
under Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2)
thereunder,\4\ which renders the proposed rule change effective upon
filing with the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

    \4\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange filed a proposal to amend the fee schedule applicable
to Members \5\ and non-Members of the Exchange pursuant to BZX Rules
15.1(a) and (c) to amend its Options Regulatory Fee (``ORF'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The term ``Member'' is defined as ``any registered broker or
dealer that has been admitted to membership in the Exchange.'' See
Exchange Rule 1.5(n).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
Web site at www.bats.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 parts of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to modify the fee schedule applicable to the
Exchange's options platform (``BZX Options'') to amend the rate of its
ORF.\6\ Currently, the Exchange charges an ORF in the amount of $0.0010
per contract side. The Exchange proposes to decrease the amount of ORF
to $0.0009 per contract side.\7\ The proposed change to ORF should
continue to balance the Exchange's regulatory expenses against the
anticipated revenue.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The Exchange also proposes to insert a colon after the title
``Options Regulatory Fee''.
    \7\ The Exchange notes that it previously proposed to decrease
its ORF of $0.0008 per contract in August 2016 and to assess ORF to
each Member and non-Member for all options transactions cleared by
OCC in the ``customer'' range, regardless of the exchange on which
the transaction occurred. See Securities Exchange Act Release No.
78453 (August 1, 2016), 81 FR 51954 (August 5, 2016) (SR-BatsBZX-
2016-42). The Exchange then filed to delay the implementation of SR-
BatsBZX-2016-42 until February 1, 2017. See Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 78746 (September 1, 2016), 81 FR 62225 (September 8,
2016) (SR-BatsBZX-2016-52). The Commission later issued an order
suspending and [sic] SR-BatsBZX-2016-42 and instituted proceedings
to determine whether to approve or disapprove the proposed rule
change asking whether the [sic] ``a sufficient regulatory nexus
exists between the Exchange and a non-Member to justify imposition
of the ORF on such non-Member.'' See Securities Exchange Act Release
No. 78849 (September 15, 2016), 81 FR 64960 (September 21, 2016). On
January 10, 2017, the Exchange withdrew SR-Bats-BZX-2016-42. The
Exchange also proposes in this filing to remove text from its fee
schedule adopted by SR-BatsBZX-2016-52 which delayed the
implementation of SR-BatsBZX-2016-42 until February 1, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The per-contract ORF is assessed by the Exchange on each Member for
all options transactions executed and cleared, or simply cleared, by
the Member, that are cleared by OCC in the ``customer'' range,
regardless of the exchange on which the transaction occurs. The ORF is
collected indirectly from Members through their clearing firms by OCC
on behalf of the Exchange. The ORF is also charged for transactions
that are not executed by a Member but are ultimately cleared by a
Member. Thus, in the case where a non-Member executes a transaction and
a Member clears the transaction, the ORF is assessed to the Member who
clears the transaction. Similarly, in the case where a Member executes
a transaction and another Member clears the transaction, the ORF is
assessed to the Member who clears the transaction.
    The ORF is designed to recover a material portion of the costs to
the Exchange of the supervision and regulation of Members' customer
options business, including performing routine surveillances and
investigations, as well as policy, rulemaking, interpretive and
enforcement activities. The Exchange believes that revenue generated
from the ORF, when combined with all of the Exchange's other regulatory
fees and fines, will continue to cover a material portion, but not all,
of the Exchange's regulatory costs.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The Exchange notes that its regulatory responsibilities with
respect to compliance with options sales practice rules has been
allocated to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(``FINRA'') under a 17d-2 Agreement. The ORF is not designed to
cover the cost of options sales practice regulation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange will continue to monitor the amount of revenue
collected from the ORF to ensure that it, in combination with its other
regulatory fees and fines, does not exceed the Exchange's total
regulatory costs. The Exchange expects to monitor its regulatory costs
and revenues at a minimum on a semi-annual basis. If the Exchange
determines regulatory revenues exceed or are insufficient to cover a
material portion of its regulatory costs, the Exchange will adjust the
ORF by submitting a fee change filing to the Commission. The Exchange
will continue to notify Members of adjustments to the ORF at least 30

calendar days prior to the effective date of the change.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The Exchange announced the proposed changes to ORF on
December 30, 2016. See Bats Options Exchange Regulatory Fee Schedule
Update Effective February 1, 2017 available at http://cdn.batstrading.com/resources/fee_schedule/2017/Bats-Options-Exchange-Regulatory-Fee-Schedule-Update-Effective-February-1-2017.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Implementation Date
    The Exchange proposes to implement changes to the ORF
immediately.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The Exchange originally filed the proposed rule change on
January 30, 2017. (SR-BatsBZX-2017-02). On February 8, 2017, the
Exchange withdrew SR-BatsBZX-2017-02 and submitted this filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder that are applicable to a national securities exchange, and,
in particular, with the requirements of Section 6 of the Act.\11\
Specifically, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\12\ in that it provides for
the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges
among members and other persons using its facilities. The Exchange
notes that it operates in a highly competitive market in which market
participants can readily direct order flow to competing venues or
providers of routing services if they deem fee levels to be excessive.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes the decreased ORF is equitable and not
unfairly discriminatory because it would be objectively allocated to
Members in that it would be charged to all Members on all their
transactions that clear as customer transactions at the OCC. The
Exchange believes that decreasing the ORF is reasonable because the
Exchange's collection of ORF needs to be balanced against the amount of
regulatory revenue collected by the Exchange. The Exchange believes
that the proposed adjustment noted herein will serve to continue to
balance the Exchange's regulatory revenue against its anticipated
regulatory costs. In addition, the Exchange believes the amount of the
ORF is reasonable as it is significantly lower than ORFs charged by
other exchanges. By way of comparison, MIAX charges an ORF of $0.0045
per contract side,\13\ and both NYSE Arca and NYSE Amex charge an ORF
of $0.0055 per contract side.\14\ The CBOE charges an ORF of $0.0081
per contract.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See MIAX fee schedule available at http://www.miaxoptions.com/sites/default/files/MIAX_Options_Fee_Schedule_06012016.pdf (dated January 1, 2017).
    \14\ See NYSE Arca Options fee schedule available at https://www.nyse.com/publicdocs/nyse/markets/arca-options/NYSE_Arca_Options_Fee_Schedule.pdf (dated January 1, 2017); and NYSE
Amex fee schedule available at https://www.nyse.com/publicdocs/nyse/markets/amex-options/NYSE_Amex_Options_Fee_Schedule.pdf (dated
January 1, 2017).
    \15\ See CBOE fee schedule available at http://www.cboe.com/framed/pdfframed.aspx?content=/publish/feeschedule/CBOEFeeSchedule.pdf§ion=SEC_RESOURCES&title=CBOE%20Fee%20Schedule
 (dated January 3, 2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has designed the ORF to generate revenues that, when
combined with all of the Exchange's other regulatory fees, will be less
than or equal to the Exchange's regulatory costs, which is consistent
with the Commission's view that regulatory fees be used for regulatory
purposes and not to support the Exchange's business side. In this
regard, the Exchange believes that the decreased level of the fee is
reasonable and appropriate.

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. The ORF is not intended to have
any impact on competition. Rather, it is designed to enable the
Exchange to recover a material portion of the Exchange's cost related
to its regulatory activities. The Exchange is obligated to ensure that
the amount of regulatory revenue collected from the ORF, in combination
with its other regulatory fees and fines, does not exceed regulatory
costs.
    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. 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. The decreased ORF continues
to also be comparable to ORFs charged by other options exchanges.

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 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) of the Act \16\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder.\17\ 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.
