SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-66790; File No. SR-ISE-2012-25]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule
Change Relating to Fees and Rebates

April 12, 2012.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Exchange Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is
hereby given that on April 4, 2012, the International Securities
Exchange, LLC (the ``Exchange'' or the ``ISE'') filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'') the proposed
rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been
prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The ISE is proposing to amend the threshold levels and rebate
amounts for Qualified Contingent Cross (``QCC'') orders and
Solicitation orders. The text of the proposed rule change is available
on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.ise.com), at the principal
office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    The purpose of this proposed rule change is to amend the threshold
levels and rebate amounts for QCC orders and Solicitation orders to
further encourage Members to submit greater numbers of QCC orders and
Solicitation orders to the Exchange. The Exchange currently provides a
rebate to Members who reach a certain volume threshold in QCC orders
and/or Solicitation orders during a month.\3\ Once a Member reaches the
volume threshold, the Exchange provides a rebate to that Member for all
of its QCC and Solicitation contracts traded for that month. The rebate
is paid to the Member entering a qualifying order, i.e., a QCC order
and/or a Solicitation order. The rebate applies to QCC orders and
Solicitation orders in all symbols traded on the Exchange.
Additionally, the threshold levels are based on the originating side so
if, for example, a Member submits a Solicitation order for 1,000
contracts, all 1,000 contracts are counted to reach the established
threshold even if the order is broken up and executed with multiple
counter parties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Exchange Act Release Nos. 65087 (August 10, 2011), 76 FR
50783 (August 16, 2011) (SR-ISE-2011-47); 65583 (October 18, 2011),
76 FR 65555 (October 21, 2011) (SR-ISE-2011-68); 65705 (November 8,
2011), 76 FR 70789 (November 15, 2011) (SR-ISE-2011-70); 65898
(December 6, 2011), 76 FR 77279 (December 12, 2011) (SR-ISE-2011-
78); and 66169 (January 17, 2012), 77 FR 3295 (January 23, 2012)
(SR-ISE-2012-01).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The current volume threshold and corresponding rebate per contract
is:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                              Rebate per
                 Originating contract sides                    contract
------------------------------------------------------------------------
0-199,999..................................................        $0.00
200,000-999,999............................................         0.05
1,000,000-1,599,999........................................         0.08
1,600,000+.................................................         0.10
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange now proposes to amend the current tiers by: (1)
Adjusting the second tier (200,000-999,999 contracts) so that it
becomes 200,000-499,999 contracts and increasing the rebate for this
tier from $0.05 per contract to $0.07 per contract; (2) adopting a new
tier for 500,000-699,999 contracts with a corresponding rebate of $0.08
per contract; (3) adopting a new tier for 700,000-999,999 contracts
with a corresponding rebate of $0.09 per contract; and (4) adjusting
the last tier (1,600,000+ contracts) so that it becomes 1,000,000+
contracts and increasing the rebate for this last tier from $0.10 to
$0.11 per contract. With the proposed changes to the tiers, which
reflect the recent decline in options trading volume, the Exchange is
attempting to strike the right balance between the number of qualifying
contracts and its corresponding rebate to ensure that the incentive
program achieves its intended purpose of attracting greater order flow
from its Members.
    With the proposed amended tiers, the volume threshold and
corresponding rebate per contract will be as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                              Rebate per
                 Originating contract sides                    contract
------------------------------------------------------------------------
0-199,999..................................................        $0.00
200,000-499,999............................................         0.07
500,000-699,999............................................         0.08
700,000-999,999............................................         0.09
1,000,000+.................................................         0.11
------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to amend its Schedule of
Fees is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Exchange Act \4\ in
general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Exchange
Act \5\ in particular, in that it is an equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees and other charges among Exchange Members. The
Exchange believes that the proposed fee change will generally allow the
Exchange and its Members to better compete for order flow and thus
enhance competition. Specifically, the Exchange believes that its
proposal, which among other things, lowers the threshold level for
Members to qualify for the highest per contract rebate payable, is
reasonable as it will encourage Members who direct their QCC and
Solicitation orders to the Exchange to continue to do so instead of
sending this order flow to a competing exchange. The Exchange believes
that with the proposed amended tiers, which provides for additional
volume thresholds, more Members are now likely to qualify for higher
rebates for sending their QCC and Solicitation orders to the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange notes that it currently has other incentive programs
to promote and encourage growth in specific business areas. For
example, the Exchange has lower fees (or no fees) for customer orders;
\6\ and tiered pricing that reduces rates for market makers based on
the level of business they bring to the Exchange.\7\ This proposed rule
change targets a particular segment in which the Exchange seeks to
attract

greater order flow. The Exchange further believes that the rebate
currently in place for QCC and Solicitation orders is reasonable
because it is designed to give Members who trade a minimum of 200,000
qualifying contracts in QCC and Solicitation orders on the Exchange a
benefit by way of a lower transaction fee. As noted above, once a
Member reaches an established volume threshold, all of the trading
activity in the specified order type by that Member will be subject to
the corresponding rebate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ For example, the customer fee is $0.00 per contract for
products other than Singly Listed Indexes, Singly Listed ETFs and FX
Options. For Singly Listed Options, Singly Listed ETFs and FX
Options, the customer fee is $0.18 per contract. The Exchange also
currently has an incentive plan in place for certain specific FX
Options which has its own pricing. See ISE Schedule of Fees.
    \7\ The Exchange currently has a sliding scale fee structure
that ranges from $0.01 per contract to $0.18 per contract depending
on the level of volume a Member trades on the Exchange in a month.
See ISE Schedule of Fees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also believes that its rebate program for QCC and
Solicitation orders is equitable because it would uniformly apply to
all Members engaged in QCC and Solicitation trading in all option
classes traded on the Exchange. The Exchange further believes that its
fees and credits remain competitive with fees charged by other
exchanges and therefore are reasonable and equitably allocated to those
members that opt to direct orders to the Exchange rather than to a
competing exchange. The QCC and Solicitation rebate program employed by
the Exchange has proven to be an effective pricing mechanism and
attractive to Exchange participants and their customers.

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

    The proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Exchange Act.

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

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested
parties.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Exchange Act.\8\ At any time within 60 days of
the filing of such 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 Exchange Act. If the Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the
proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

            2014 Compliance Recertification Application (CRA-2014)
       Compliance Application Review Document (CARD for Section 194.25)
                           Future State Assumptions

25.0 BACKGROUND

      	Section 194.25 stipulates that performance assessments (PA) and compliance assessments "shall assume that characteristics of the future remain what they are at the time the compliance application is prepared, provided that such characteristics are not related to hydrogeologic, geologic or climatic conditions."  Section 194.25 also requires the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE or Department) to provide documentation of the effects of potential changes of hydrogeologic, geological, and climatic conditions on the disposal system over the regulatory time frame.

      The purpose of the future state assumptions is to avoid unverifiable and unbounded speculation about possible future states of society, science, languages, or other characteristics of mankind.  The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) has found no acceptable methodology that could make predictions of the future state of society, science, languages, or other characteristics of mankind.  However, the Agency does believe that established scientific methods can make plausible predictions regarding the future state of geologic, hydrogeologic, and climatic conditions.  Therefore, §194.25 focuses the PA and compliance assessments on the more predictable significant features of disposal system performance, instead of allowing unbounded speculation on all developments over the 10,000-year regulatory time frame.

25.1 Requirements

	(a) "Unless otherwise specified in this part or in the disposal regulations, performance assessments and compliance assessments conducted pursuant to the provisions of this part to demonstrate compliance with § 191.13, § 191.15 and part 191, subpart C shall assume that characteristics of the future remain what they are at the time the compliance application is prepared, provided that such characteristics are not related to hydrogeologic, geologic or climatic conditions."

	(b) "In considering future states pursuant to this section, the Department shall document in any compliance application, to the extent practicable, effects of potential future hydrogeologic, geologic and climatic conditions on the disposal system over the regulatory time frame.  Such documentation shall be part of the activities undertaken pursuant to § 194.14, Content of compliance certification application; § 194.32, Scope of performance assessments; and § 194.54, Scope of compliance assessments.

      	(1) In considering the effects of hydrogeologic conditions on the disposal 				system, the Department shall document in any compliance application, to the 			extent practicable, the effects of potential changes to hydrogeologic conditions.

		(2) In considering the effects of geologic conditions on the disposal system, the 			Department shall document in any compliance application, to the extent 				practicable, the effects of potential changes to geologic conditions, including, but 			not limited to: dissolution; near surface geomorphic features and processes; and 			related subsidence in the geologic units of the disposal system.

		(3) In considering the effects of climatic conditions on the disposal system, the 			Department shall document in any compliance application, to the extent 				practicable, the effects of potential changes to future climate cycles of increased 			precipitation (as compared to the present conditions)."

25.2 1998 Certification Decision

	In order to comply with 40 CFR 194.25(a) EPA expected DOE to describe the future state assumptions based on present conditions, provided that such assumptions were not related to hydrogeologic, geologic, or climatic conditions.  Future state assumptions that are relevant to Section 194.25(a) and may affect the containment of waste were identified by DOE in Chapter 6.2 and Appendices SCR and MASS of the Compliance Certification Application (CCA).  Many of these future state assumptions were derived from the development of Features, Events and Processes (FEPs) that are potentially relevant to the performance of the waste disposal system, and can be found in CCA Appendix SCR (i.e. solution mining and anthropogenic climate changes).

	EPA first determined whether all FEPs and appropriate future state assumptions were identified and developed by DOE.  EPA then evaluated DOE's criteria to eliminate (screen out) inapplicable or irrelevant FEPs and associated assumptions.  EPA also analyzed whether there were potential variations in DOE's assumed characteristics and determined whether the future state assumptions were in compliance with Section 194.25(a).

	EPA's CCA review found no potentially significant omissions in the lists of FEPs, and no major inadequacies in the CCA's descriptions of FEPs and related future state assumptions.  EPA concluded that DOE adequately described all the future state assumptions that are applicable under 194.25(a).

	To comply with 40 CFR 194.25(b)(1), (b)(2), and (b)(3), EPA expected DOE to consider the effects of potential changes to hydrogeologic, geologic and climatic conditions on the disposal system.  DOE identified and described the hydrogeologic FEPs and related future state assumptions retained for further evaluation and inclusion in performance assessment calculations in Chapter 6.3 of the CCA.  DOE described the effects of potential changes to hydrogeologic conditions on the disposal system in Chapter 6.4.6 and 6.4.9 and Appendices SCR, TFIELD, and MASS.  DOE described the effects of potential changes to geologic conditions on the disposal system in Chapters 6.2, 6.4.6, 6.5.4, and Appendices SCR and MASS of the CCA.  DOE identified and described the effects of potential changes to future climate cycles of increased precipitation on the repository in Chapter 6.4.9 of the CCA.

	EPA concluded that DOE adequately addressed the impacts of potential hydrogeologic, geologic and climate changes to the disposal system.  The CCA included all relevant elements of the performance assessment and compliance assessments and were consistent with the requirements of Section 194.25.

	A complete description of EPA's 1998 Certification Decision for Section 194.25 can be obtained from EPA Air Docket A-93-02, Items V-A-1 and V-B-2.

25.3 CHANGES IN THE 2004 COMPLIANCE RECERTIFICATION APPLICATION (2004 CRA)
	DOE changed four of the FEPs by combining them, changed seven FEPs screening decisions, and added two new FEPs as summarized in Table SCR-1 of 2004 CRA, Appendix PA, and Attachment SCR.  The remaining FEPs and their screening arguments have not changed since the CCA was documented.  DOE eliminated sixteen FEPs (See Table 25-1 below and 2004 CRA Chapter 6 Page 6-51) using the Future States (40 CFR 194.25 (a)) assumption which assumes that these future activities will not change in the future.

25.3.1 Evaluation of Compliance for 2004 Recertification

	To evaluate compliance with our 194.25 requirements, EPA reviewed the following 2004 CRA documentation:  2004 CRA Chapters 2, 6, 7, and 9; 2004 CRA Appendix PA; 2004 CRA Appendix PA, Attachment SCR; 2004 CRA Appendix PA, Attachment TFIELD; and 2004 CRA Appendix PA, Attachment MASS.  As in the 1998 Certification Decision, EPA first determined whether all FEPs and appropriate future state assumptions were identified and developed by DOE.  EPA then evaluated DOE's criteria to eliminate (screen out) inapplicable or irrelevant FEPs and associated assumptions.  EPA also analyzed whether there were potential variations in DOE's assumed characteristics and determined whether the future state assumptions were in compliance with Section 194.25(a).  During our 2004 CRA FEPs review, EPA also reviewed any changes in FEPs, screening, or DOE process.

	40 CFR 194.25 (a)

	EPA verified that all appropriate FEPs were included in the list provided by DOE for Section 194.25 (a) - futures remain the same.  EPA reviewed any changes in FEPs including all screened-in and screened-out FEPs related to future states to verify that their selection was made correctly.  The Agency's FEPs review is documented in our 2004 CRA Technical Support Documents for Sections 194.25, 193.32 and 194.33: 2004 CRA Review of FEPs (Docket A-98-49, Item II-B1-11).

	40 CFR 194.25 (b)(1)

	EPA reexamined any hydrogeologic conditions that may have changed since our CCA review.  The Agency believes that DOEs review of FEPs related to hydrogeologic condition and screen arguments is complete and conclusions drawn are appropriate.  Changes in the shallow hydrology around the WIPP site, such as water level changes in monitor wells and changes in potash mining, are appropriately included in the PA modeling by updated changes in the transmissivity fields.  See 2004 CRA CARD 15 for more information.

	40 CFR 194.25 (b) (2)

	DOE reexamined DOE's characterization of future geologic conditions in the 2004 CRA documents.  EPA reexamined issues we reviewed during the CCA, such as tectonics and deformation assumptions, fracture development and fault movement, ground shaking and seismic assumptions, volcanic and magmatic activity, metamorphic activity, shallow, lateral, and deep dissolution assumptions, and mineralization assumptions.  We also reviewed the 2004 CRA screening arguments related to geological screening decisions.  EPA determined that DOE's geologic screening arguments are reasonable and adequate.
	40 CFR 194.25 (b) (3)

      As in the CCA our review of climatic condition changes focused on applicable FEPs.  We found that new information since the CCA does not impact FEPs or screening decisions related to climate change.

      Characteristics of these FEPs and criteria for screening are discussed in 2004 CRA CARD 32 -- Scope of Performance Assessments and EPA Technical Support Document for the Compliance Recertification Application Section 32:  Scope of Performance Assessments (Docket A-93-02, Item V-B-21).  The effects on the disposal system and dynamics of these processes are analyzed in 2004 CARD 23 -- Models and Computer Codes.   EPA's detailed review of future states related FEPs is documented in Technical Support Document for the Compliance Recertification Application Section 194.25, Section Future States.

	EPA did not receive any public comments on DOE's continued compliance with the future state assumptions requirements of Section 194.25.

25.3.2 2004 Recertification Decision

	Based on a review and evaluation of the 2004 CRA, Chapters 2, 6, 7, and 9; 2004 CRA Appendix PA; 2004 CRA Appendix PA, Attachment SCR; 2004 CRA Appendix PA, Attachment TFIELD; 2004 CRA Appendix PA, Attachment MASS, and supplemental information (EPA Air Docket A-93-02, II-I-07, and FDMS Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2004-0025, Air Docket A-98-49) and an assessment of changes since 1998, EPA determined that DOE continued to comply with the requirements of Section 194.25.

25.4  Changes in the 2009 Compliance Recertification Application (2009 CRA)

	Since the 2004 CRA, DOE has not changed the sixteen (16) FEPs screened out based on the Future States (Section 40 CRA 194.25(a)) assumption (which assumes that theses future activities will not change in the future).   These 16 FEPs are listed in Table CARD 25-1 above.  Results of DOE's 2009 Recertification FEPs screening activities are documented in DOE Appendix SCR-2009.

25.4.1 Evaluation of Compliance for 2009 Recertification

	To evaluate compliance with our 194.25 requirements, EPA reviewed the following 2009 CRA documentation:  2009 CRA Section 25, 2009 CRA Appendix PA-2009; 2009 CRA Appendix SCR-2009; 2009 CRA Appendix TFIELD-2009; and 2009 CRA Appendix MASS-2009.  As in the 1998 Certification Decision and 2004 CRA, EPA first determined whether all FEPs and appropriate future state assumptions were identified and developed by DOE.  EPA then evaluated DOE's criteria to eliminate (screen out) inapplicable or irrelevant FEPs and associated assumptions.  EPA also analyzed whether there were potential variations in DOE's assumed characteristics and determined whether the future state assumptions were in compliance with Section 194.25(a).  During the Agency's 2009 CRA FEPs review, EPA also reviewed any changes in FEPs, screening, or DOE process.

      40 CFR 194.25 (a)

	EPA verified that all appropriate FEPs were included in the list provided by DOE for Section 194.25 (a): futures remain the same, none changed for the 2009 CRA.  EPA reviewed any changes in FEPs, including all screened-in and screened-out FEPs related to future states to verify that their selection was made correctly.  The Agency's FEPs review is documented in our 2009 CRA Technical Support Documents for Sections 194.25, 193.32 and 194.33: Review of Changes to the WIPP Performance Assessment Features, Events and Processes Since 2004 Recertification (EPA 2010c).

	40 CFR 194.25 (b)(1)

	EPA reexamined any hydrogeologic conditions that may have changed since our CCA and 2004 CRA review; none changed for the 2009 CRA.  The Agency believes that DOE's review of FEPs related to hydrogeologic conditions and screening arguments is complete and conclusions drawn are appropriate.  See 2009 CRA CARD 15 for more information.

	40 CFR 194.25 (b)(2)

	DOE reexamined DOE's characterization of future geologic conditions in the 2009 CRA documents.  EPA reexamined issues reviewed during the CCA and 2004 CRA, such as tectonics and deformation assumptions, fracture development and fault movement, ground shaking and seismic assumptions, volcanic and magmatic activity, metamorphic activity, shallow, lateral, and deep dissolution assumptions, and mineralization assumptions.  We also reviewed the 2009 CRA screening arguments related to geological screening decisions.  These arguments have not changed since 2004 CRA.  EPA verified DOE's position and determined that DOE's geologic screening arguments are reasonable and adequate.

	40 CFR 194.25 (b)(3)

	As in the CCA and 2004 CRA our review of climatic condition changes focused on applicable FEPs, and none changed for the 2009 CRA.  We found that new information since the 2004 CRA does not impact FEPs or screening decisions related to climate change.

      Characteristics of these FEPs and criteria for screening are discussed in 2009 CRA CARD 32.  The effects on the disposal system and dynamics of these processes are analyzed in 2009 CRA CARD 23.  EPA's detailed review of future states related FEPs is documented in Technical Support Document for the 2009 Compliance Recertification Application Sections 194.25, 193.32 and 194.33: Review of Changes to the WIPP Performance Assessment Features, Events and Processes Since 2004 Recertification (EPA 2010c).

	EPA did not receive any public comments on DOE's continued compliance with the future state assumptions requirements of Section 194.25 for 2009 CRA.

25.4.2 2009 Recertification Decision

	Based on a review and evaluation of 2009 CRA Section 25, 2009 CRA Appendix PA-2009, 2009 CRA Appendix SCR-2009,  2009 CRA Appendix TFIELD-2009, 2009 CRA Appendix MASS-2009, and supplemental information (EPA Air Docket A-93-02, II-I-XX, and FDMS Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0330, Air Docket A-98-49) and an assessment of changes since 1998 and 2004 CRA, EPA determines that DOE continues to comply with the requirements of Section 194.25 for the 2009 CRA.

25.5 Changes in the 2014 Compliance Recertification Application (2014 CRA)

	Since the 2009 CRA, DOE has not changed the sixteen (16) FEPs screened out based on the Future States (Section 40 CRA 194.25(a)) assumption (which assumes that theses future activities will not change in the future).   These 16 FEPs are listed in Table CARD 25-1 above.  Results of DOE's 2014 Recertification FEPs screening activities are documented in DOE Appendix SCR-2014.  DOE changed the screening argument for H58, Solution Mining  -  Potash.  DOE updated H58 to describe the solution mining project just outside the Delaware Basin boundary (see 2014 CRA Appendix SCR-2014, Section <IP_ADDRESS>.2.

25.5.1 Evaluation of Compliance for 2014 Recertification

	To evaluate compliance with EPA's 194.25 requirements, EPA reviewed the following 2014 CRA documentation:  2014 CRA DOE Section 25, 2014 CRA Appendix PA-2014; 2014 CRA Appendix SCR-2014; 2014 CRA Appendix TFIELD-2014; and 2014 CRA Appendix MASS-2014.  As in the 1998 Certification Decision and previous CRAs, EPA continued to first determine whether all FEPs and appropriate future state assumptions were identified and developed by DOE.  EPA then evaluated DOE's criteria to eliminate (screen out) inapplicable or irrelevant FEPs and associated assumptions.  EPA also analyzed whether there were potential variations in DOE's assumed characteristics and determined whether the future state assumptions were in compliance with Section 194.25(a).  During the Agency's 2014 CRA FEPs review, EPA also reviewed any changes in FEPs, screening, or processes.

      40 CFR 194.25 (a)

	EPA verified that all appropriate FEPs were included in the list provided by DOE for Section 194.25 (a): futures remain the same and screening decisions were unchanged, except for H58 (Solution Mining - Potash) which was updated for the 2014 CRA.  EPA continued to review any changes in FEPs, including all screened-in and screened-out FEPs related to future states to verify that their selection was made correctly.  The Agency's FEPs review is documented in Technical Support Documents for Sections 194.25, 193.32 and 194.33: Review of Changes to the WIPP Performance Assessment Features, Events and Processes in EPA Docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2014-0609.

      EPA had one comment (2-G-G1, sub-comment 2-32-S5, FEP H58) related to FEPs screened out because of the 194.25(a) requirement.  EPA's general comment was that many FEPs screening arguments were unchanged and did not reflect changes that have occurred in the past several years in the 2014 CRA.  Specifically, FEP H58 (SO-R) EPA did not believe that because of the Eddy mine solution mining project just outside the Delaware Basin that the screening argument was adequate.  DOE responded in Response Letter Four that the exclusion of H58 based on the regulation is appropriate, but in addition to that DOE stated that the screening argument in 2014 CRA Appendix SCR-2014, Section <IP_ADDRESS>.3 had been updated to provide a technical justification to screen out FEP H58.  EPA closely examined this response and concluded that it was adequate.

	40 CFR 194.25 (b)(1)

	EPA reexamined any hydrogeologic conditions that may have changed FEPs criteria since our CCA and previous CRAs reviews; none changed for the 2014 CRA.  The Agency believes that DOE's review of FEPs related to hydrogeologic conditions, that screening arguments are complete and that conclusions drawn are appropriate.  See 2014 CRA CARD 15 and Technical Support Documents for Sections 194.25, 193.32 and 194.33: Review of Changes to the WIPP Performance Assessment Features, Events and Processes in EPA Docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2014-0609 for more information.

	40 CFR 194.25 (b)(2)

	DOE reexamined DOE's characterization of future geologic conditions in the 2014 CRA documents.  EPA reexamined issues reviewed during the CCA and previous CRAs, such as tectonics and deformation assumptions, fracture development and fault movement, ground shaking and seismic assumptions, volcanic and magmatic activity, metamorphic activity, shallow, lateral, and deep dissolution assumptions, and mineralization assumptions.  EPA also reviewed the 2014 CRA screening arguments related to geological screening decisions.  These arguments have not changed since the 2009 CRA.  EPA verified DOE's position and determined that DOE's geologic screening arguments are reasonable and adequate.

	40 CFR 194.25 (b)(3)

	As in the CCA and previous CRAs our review of climatic condition changes focused on applicable FEPs, and none changed for the 2014 CRA.  We found that new information since the 2009 CRA does not impact FEPs or screening decisions related to climate change.

Characteristics of these FEPs and criteria for screening are discussed in 2014 CRA CARD 32.  The effects on the disposal system and dynamics of these processes are analyzed in 2014 CRA CARD 23.  EPA's detailed review of future states related FEPs is documented in Technical Support Documents for Sections 194.25, 193.32 and 194.33: Review of Changes to the WIPP Performance Assessment Features, Events and Processes in EPA Docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2014-0609.

	EPA did not receive any public comments on DOE's continued compliance with the future state assumptions requirements of Section 194.25 for 2014 CRA.

25.5.2 2014 Recertification Decision

	Based on a review and evaluation of 2014 CRA Section 25, 2014 CRA Appendix PA-2014, 2014 CRA Appendix SCR-2014, 2014 CRA Appendix TFIELD-2014, 2014 CRA Appendix MASS-2014, and supplemental information (Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2014-0609) and an assessment of changes since the 2009 CRA, EPA determines that DOE continues to comply with the requirements of Section 194.25 for the 2014 CRA.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-793, OMB Control No. 3235-0734]

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736.

Extension:
    Rule 22c-1

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the ``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management and
Budget a request for extension of the previously

approved collection of information discussed below.
    Rule 22c-1 (17 CFR 270.22c-1) under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a) (the ``Investment Company Act'' or ``Act'')
enables a fund to choose to use ``swing pricing'' as a tool to mitigate
shareholder dilution. Rule 22c-1 is intended to promote investor
protection by providing funds with an additional tool to mitigate the
potentially dilutive effects of shareholder purchase or redemption
activity and a set of operational standards that allow funds to gain
comfort using swing pricing as a means of mitigating potential
dilution.
    The respondents to amended rule 22c-1 are open-end management
investment companies (other than money market funds or exchange-traded
funds) that engage in swing pricing. Compliance with rule 22c-1(a)(3)
is mandatory for any fund that chooses to use swing pricing to adjust
its NAV in reliance on the rule.
    While we are not aware of any funds that have engaged in swing
pricing,\1\ we are estimating for the purpose of this analysis that 5
fund complexes have funds that may adopt swing pricing policies and
procedures in the future pursuant to the rule. We estimate that the
total burden associated with the preparation and approval of swing
pricing policies and procedures by those fund complexes that would use
swing pricing will be 280 hours.\2\ We also estimate that it will cost
a fund complex $43,406 to document, review and initially approve these
policies and procedures, for a total cost of $217,030.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ No funds have engaged in swing pricing as reported on Form
N-CEN as of August 14, 2019.
    \2\ This estimate is based on the following calculation: (48 + 2
+ 6) hours x 5 fund complexes = 280 hours.
    \3\ These estimates are based on the following calculations: 24
hours x $201 (hourly rate for a senior accountant) = $4,824; 24
hours x $463 (blended hourly rate for assistant general counsel
($433) and chief compliance officer ($493)) = $11,112; 2 hours (for
a fund attorney's time to prepare materials for the board's
determinations) x $340 (hourly rate for a compliance attorney) =
$680; 6 hours x $4,465 (hourly rate for a board of 8 directors) =
$26,790; ($4,824 + $11,112 + $680 + $26,790) = $43,406; $43,406 x 5
fund complexes = $217,030. The hourly wages used are from SIFMA's
Management & Professional Earnings in the Securities Industry 2013,
modified by Commission staff to account for an 1800-hour work-year
and inflation, and multiplied by 5.35 to account for bonuses, firm
size, employee benefits, and overhead. The staff previously
estimated in 2009 that the average cost of board of director time
was $4,000 per hour for the board as a whole, based on information
received from funds and their counsel. Adjusting for inflation, the
staff estimates that the current average cost of board of director
time is approximately $4,465.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 22c-1 requires a fund that uses swing pricing to maintain the
fund's swing policies and procedures that are in effect, or at any time
within the past six years were in effect, in an easily accessible
place.\4\ The rule also requires a fund to retain a written copy of the
periodic report provided to the board prepared by the swing pricing
administrator that describes, among other things, the swing pricing
administrator's review of the adequacy of the fund's swing pricing
policies and procedures and the effectiveness of their implementation,
including the impact on mitigating dilution and any back-testing
performed.\5\ The retention of these records is necessary to allow the
staff during examinations of funds to determine whether a fund is in
compliance with its swing pricing policies and procedures and with rule
22c-1. We estimate a time cost per fund complex of $292.\6\ We estimate
that the total for recordkeeping related to swing pricing will be 20
hours, at an aggregate cost of $1,460, for all fund complexes that we
believe include funds that have adopted swing pricing policies and
procedures.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See rule 22c-1(a)(3)(iii).
    \5\ See id.
    \6\ This estimate is based on the following calculations: 2
hours x $58 (hourly rate for a general clerk) = $116; 2 hours x $88
(hourly rate for a senior computer operator) = $176. $116 + $176 =
$292.
    \7\ These estimates are based on the following calculations: 4
hours x 5 fund complexes = 20 hours. 5 fund complexes x $292 =
$1,460.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Amortized over a three-year period, we believe that the hour
burdens and time costs associated with rule 22c-1, including the burden
associated with the requirements that funds adopt policies and
procedures, obtain board approval, and periodic review of an annual
written report from the swing pricing administrator, and retain certain
records and written reports related to swing pricing, will result in an
average aggregate annual burden of 113.3 hours, and average aggregate
time costs of $73,803.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ These estimates are based on the following calculations:
(280 hours (year 1) + (3 x 20 hours) (years 1, 2 and 3)) / 3 = 113.3
hours; ($217,030 (year 1) + (3 x $1,460) (years 1, 2 and 3)) / 3 =
$73,803.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    These estimates of average costs are made solely for the purposes
of the Paperwork Reduction Act. The estimate is not derived from a
comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the costs of
Commission rules.

will not be kept confidential. An agency may not conduct or sponsor,

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2007-28059; Directorate Identifier 2007-NE-13-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211 Trent 500,
700, and 800 Series Turbofan Engines

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. This proposed AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) provided by the aviation
authority of the United Kingdom to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI states the following:

    This action is necessary following the discovery of IP
Compressor Rotor rear balance land cracking on an in-service Trent
800 engine. Stress analysis of the damaged rotor has shown a
possible threat to the rotor integrity, the cracking therefore
presents a potential unsafe condition.

    We are proposing this AD to detect cracking on the intermediate
pressure (IP) Compressor rotor rear balance land. IP compressor rotor
rear balance land cracking can lead to uncontained failure of the rotor
and damage to the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by November 14,
2007.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:
     Government-wide rulemaking Web site: Go to http://www.regulations.gov
 and follow the instructions for sending your

comments electronically.
     Mail: U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2007-0052, dated February 23, 2007 to correct
an unsafe condition for the specified products. The EASA AD states:

    This Airworthiness Directive requires inspections for cracks in
the rear balance land of the IP Compressor Rotor. The inspections
comprise an on-wing one-off inspection by borescope for RR Trent 800
engines which must be completed within a short timescale, and in-
shop inspections to be completed at each opportunity for RR Trent
500, 700 and 800 engines (the in-shop inspection may be carried out
in lieu of the on-wing inspection for the Trent 800 engines if it is
accomplished within the timescale applicable to the on-wing
inspection). This action is necessary following the discovery of IP
Compressor Rotor rear balance land cracking on an in-service Trent
800 engine. Stress analysis of the damaged rotor has shown a
possible threat to the rotor integrity, the cracking therefore
presents a potential unsafe condition. The cause of the cracking is
currently not fully understood but evidence suggests it relates to
an unusual balance weight condition.

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

Relevant Service Information

    RR has issued Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) RB.211-72-AF313, dated
February 22, 2007 and ASB RB.211-72-AF260, Revision 1, dated January
17, 2007. The actions described in this service information are
intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in the EASA AD.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of the
United Kingdom, and is approved for operation in the United States.
Pursuant to our bilateral agreement with the United Kingdom, they have
notified us of the unsafe condition described in the EASA AD and
service information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because
we evaluated all information provided by EASA and determined the unsafe
condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of
the same type design. This proposed AD would require inspecting the IP
Compressor rotor rear balance land for cracks.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect about 110 engines
installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would
take about 3.5 work-hours per engine to perform the proposed actions
and that the average labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Based on these
figures, we estimate the total cost of the proposed AD to U.S.
operators to be $30,800. Our cost estimate is exclusive of possible
warranty coverage.

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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

Rolls-Royce plc: Docket No. FAA-2007-28059; Directorate Identifier
2007-NE-13-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by November 14, 2007.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Rolls-Royce plc RB211 Trent 553-61,
553A2-61, 556-61, 556A2-61, 556B-61, 560-61, 560A2-61, 768-60, 772-
60, 772B-60, 772C-60, 875-17, 877-17, 884-17, 884B-17, 892-17, 892B-
17, and 895-17 turbofan engines. These engines are installed on, but
not limited to, Airbus A330, A340-500, A340-600, and Boeing 777
series airplanes.

Reason

    (d) This action is necessary following the discovery of IP
Compressor Rotor rear balance land cracking on an in-service Trent
800 engine. Stress analysis of the damaged rotor has shown a
possible threat to the rotor integrity, the cracking therefore
presents a potential unsafe condition. The proposed AD would require
actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described
in the MCAI.
    We are proposing this AD to detect cracking on the intermediate
pressure (IP) Compressor rotor rear balance land. IP compressor
rotor rear balance land cracking can lead to uncontained failure of
the rotor and damage to the airplane.

Actions and Compliance

    (e) Unless already done, do the following actions:

Inspection--On-Wing

    (1) Applicable to RR Trent 800 engines not previously inspected
per Rolls-Royce RB211 Propulsion System Alert Non Modification

Purpose of the Board

    The purpose of the Board is to review annually the programs of the
National Fire Academy (Academy) and advise the Administrator of the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), through the United States
Fire Administrator, regarding the operation of the Academy and any
improvements therein that the Board deems appropriate. The Board makes
interim advisories to the Administrator of FEMA, through the United
States Fire Administrator, whenever there is an indicated urgency to do
so in fulfilling its duties. In carrying out its responsibilities, the
Board examines Academy programs to determine whether these programs
further the basic missions which are approved by the Administrator of
FEMA, examines the physical plant of the Academy to determine the
adequacy of the Academy's facilities, and examines the funding levels
for Academy programs. The Board submits an annual report through the
United States Fire Administrator to the Administrator of FEMA, in
writing. The report provides detailed comments and recommendations
regarding the operation of the Academy.

Agenda

    The Board will review and approve the minutes of the February 21,
2012, meeting. The Board will review Academy program activities
including Academy online courses, the development of new online
courses, current curriculum, anticipated FY 2012 curriculum
developments, and the preliminary agenda for the June, 2012, FESHE
conference. The Academy will report on the progress of the American
Council on Education (ACE) review findings, prerequisites for
acceptance into the Executive Fire Officer Program (EFOP), and a new
Student Identification Number (SIN) procedure being implemented through
the NFA Admissions process.
    The Board will review the status of the Fire and Emergency Services
Higher Education (FESHE) Recognition program and the status of Training
Resources and Data Exchange (TRADE)/FESHE Adobe Connect sessions. The
Board will discuss deferred maintenance and capital improvements on the
NETC campus, to include FY 2012 Budget Planning, and National Fire
Programs update. The Board will review and consider reports from the
Applicant Outreach Subcommittee and FESHE/Professional Development
Subcommittee.
    The Board will tour the National Fire Academy physical plant to
assess facility upgrades and plans for continued improvements and will
observe Academy classes in session.
    After deliberation, the Board will recommend actions to the
Superintendent of the National Fire Academy and the Administrator of
FEMA.
