Proposed Amendment and Revocation of Class E Airspace;
Bartlesville and Miami, OK

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend and remove Class E airspace at
Bartlesville and Miami, OK. The FAA is proposing this action due to
airspace reviews conducted as part of the decommissioning of the Oswego
very high frequency (VHF) omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of the
VOR Minimal Operational Network (MON) Program. The name and geographic
coordinates of the airports and navigation aids would also be updated
to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 7, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this proposal to the U.S. Department of

Transportation, Docket Operations, West Building Ground Floor, Room

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would amend the Class E surface airspace and Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Bartlesville
Municipal Airport, Bartlesville, OK; amend the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Miami Regional
Airport, Miami, OK; and remove the Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface at Jane Phillips Medical Center
Heliport, Bartlesville, OK, and Baptist Regional Health Center
Heliport, Miami, OK, to support instrument flight rule operations at
these airports.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in
triplicate to the address listed above. Commenters wishing the FAA to
acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with
those comments a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the
following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2022-1002/

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective
September 15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F
lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service
routes, and reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 by:
    Amending the Class E airspace surface airspace to within a 4.1-mile
(decreased from 4.3-mile) radius of Bartlesville Municipal Airport,
Bartlesville, OK; and within 1 mile each side of the 359[deg] bearing
from the airport extending from the 4.1-mile radius to 4.6 miles north
of the airport; and within 1.5 miles each side of the Bartlesville VOR/
DME 168[deg] radial extending from the 4.1-mile radius of the airport
to 4.4 miles south of the airport; and within 1 mile each side of the
179[deg] bearing from the airport extending from the 4.1-mile radius to
4.5 miles south of the airport; removing the exclusionary language from
the airspace legal description as there is no technical requirement for
this area and it imposes on protected airspace needed for the current
public instrument procedures; updating the geographic coordinates of
the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database; and
replacing the outdated terms ``Notice to Airmen'' with ``Notice to Air
Missions'' and ``Airport/Facility Directory'' with ``Chart
Supplement'';
    Amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 6.6-mile (decreased from a 6.8-mile) radius of
Bartlesville Municipal Airport; amending the extension north of the
airport to within 4 miles (increased from 2.2 miles) each side of the
359[deg] bearing from the Bartlesville Municipal: RWY 17-LOC
(previously Dewie LOM) extending from the 6.6-mile (decreased from 6.8-
mile) radius of the airport to 14.1 miles (increased from 11.7 miles)
north of the airport; amending the extension south of the airport to
4.1 miles east and 7.6 miles west (previously 1.6 miles each side) of
the Bartlesville VOR/DME 168[deg] (previously 176[deg]) radial
extending from the 6.6-mile (decreased from 6.8-mile) radius to 15.5
(increased from 11.3) miles south of the Bartlesville VOR/DME
(previously the airport); removing the extension north of the airport
from the Bartlesville VOR/DME as it is no longer needed; removing the
Jane Phillips Medial Center Heliport point in space and associated
airspace as the associated instrument procedures

have been cancelled and the airspace is no longer required; removing
the Dewie LOM from the airspace legal description as it is no longer
required; and updating the geographic coordinates of the airport and
the Bartlesville VOR/DME to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical
database;
    And amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface to within a 6.5-mile (decreased from a 7.3-mile)
radius of Miami Regional Airport, Miami, OK; removing the Baptist
Regional Health Center Heliport point in space coordinates and
associated airspace from the airspace legal description as the
associated instrument procedures have been cancelled and the airspace
is no longer required; and updating name of the airport to coincide
with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    This action is due to an airspace review conducted as part of the
decommissioning of the Oswego VOR, which provided navigation
information for the instrument procedures at these airports, as part of
the VOR MON Program.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraphs 6002 and
6005, respectively, of FAA Order JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 2021,
and effective September 15, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in
14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
is published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

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

Environmental Review

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

[Release No. 34-88378; File No. SR-NYSEArca-2019-77]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Order Instituting
Proceedings To Determine Whether To Approve or Disapprove a Proposed
Rule Change To List and Trade Shares of the AdvisorShares Pure US
Cannabis ETF Under NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E

March 13, 2020.
    On December 13, 2019, NYSE Arca, Inc. (``NYSE Arca'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposed rule change to list and trade shares (``Shares'') of the
AdvisorShares Pure US Cannabis ETF (``Fund'') under NYSE Arca Rule
8.600-E. The proposed rule change was published for comment in the
Federal Register on December 26, 2019.\3\ On January 28, 2020, pursuant
to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\4\ the Commission designated a longer
period within which to approve the proposed rule change, disapprove the
proposed rule change, or institute proceedings to determine whether to
approve or disapprove the proposed rule change.\5\ The Commission has
received no comment letters on the proposal. The Commission is
publishing this order to institute proceedings under Section
19(b)(2)(B) of the Act \6\ to determine whether to approve or
disapprove the proposed rule change.

proposed rule change.
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Exchange's Description of the Proposal \7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The Commission notes that additional information regarding,
among other things, the Shares, Fund, investment objective,
permitted investments, investment strategies and methodology,
investment restrictions, investment adviser, creation and redemption
procedures, availability of information, trading rules and halts,
and surveillance procedures, can be found in the Notice (see supra
note Error! Bookmark not defined.) and the Registration Statement
(see infra note 9), as applicable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to list and trade Shares of the Fund under
Commentary .01 to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E, which governs the listing and
trading of Managed Fund Shares \8\ on the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ A Managed Fund Share is a security that represents an
interest in an investment company registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (``1940 Act'') organized as an open-end
investment company or similar entity that invests in a portfolio of
securities selected by its investment adviser consistent with its
investment objectives and policies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    AdvisorShares Investments, LLC (``Adviser'') is the investment
adviser for the Fund.\9\ AdvisorShares Trust (``Trust'') and the
Adviser manage the Fund's investments, subject to the oversight and
supervision by the Board of Trustees of the Trust.\10\ Foreside Fund
Services, LLC, a registered broker-dealer, will act as the distributor
for the Fund's Shares. The Bank of New York Mellon will serve as the
administrator, custodian, and transfer agent for the Fund.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The Exchange represents that the Adviser is not registered
as a broker-dealer, and the Adviser is not affiliated with any
broker-dealers. In the event (a) the Adviser becomes registered as a
broker-dealer or newly affiliated with a broker-dealer, or (b) any
new adviser is a registered broker-dealer or becomes affiliated with
a broker-dealer, it will implement and maintain a ``fire wall'' with
respect to its relevant personnel or broker-dealer affiliate
regarding access to information concerning the composition of, and/
or changes to, the portfolio, and will be subject to procedures,
each designed to prevent the use and dissemination of material non-
public information regarding the portfolio.
    \10\ The Exchange represents that the Trust is registered under
the 1940 Act. On August 19, 2019, the Trust filed with the
Commission Post-Effective Amendment No. 145 to the Trust's
registration statement on Form N-1A under the Securities Act of 1933
(15 U.S.C. 77a) and under the 1940 Act relating to the Fund (File
Nos. 333-157876 and 811-22110) (``Registration Statement''). In
addition, the Exchange represents that the Commission has issued an
order granting certain exemptive relief to the Trust under the1940
Act. See Investment Company Act Release No. 29291 (May 28, 2010)
(File No. 812-13677).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. Principal Investments of the Fund

    According to the Exchange, the investment objective of the Fund is
to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund will seek to achieve
its investment objective by investing, under normal market
conditions,\11\ at least 80% of its net assets in securities of
companies that derive at least 50% of their net revenue from the
marijuana and hemp business in the United States and in derivatives
that have economic characteristics similar to such securities.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ The term ``normal market conditions'' is defined in NYSE
Arca Rule 8.600-E(c)(5).
    \12\ The Fund's investments in derivatives will include
investments in both listed derivatives and over-the-counter
(``OTC'') derivatives, as those terms are defined in Commentary
.01(d) and (e) to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition to its investment in securities of companies that
derive a significant portion of their revenue from the marijuana and
hemp business, and in derivatives providing exposure to such
securities, the Fund may invest in securities of companies that, in the
opinion of the Advisor, may have current or future revenues from
cannabis-related business or that are registered with the United States
Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) specifically for the purpose of handling
marijuana for lawful research and development of cannabis or
cannabinoid-related products.
    According to the Exchange, the Fund will not invest directly in or
hold ownership in any companies that engage in cannabis-related
business unless permitted by national and local laws of the relevant
jurisdiction, including U.S. federal and state laws. The Fund has
represented that this restriction does not apply to the Fund's
investment in derivatives instruments. All of the Fund's investments,
including derivatives instruments, would be made in accordance with all
applicable laws, including U.S. federal and state laws. The Fund will
concentrate at least 25% of its investments in the pharmaceuticals,
biotechnology and life sciences industry group within the health care
sector.
    The Fund primarily may invest in U.S. and foreign exchange-listed
equity securities and in derivative instruments, as further described
in this section, intended to provide exposure to such securities.
    The Fund may invest in the following types of U.S. and foreign
exchange-listed equity securities: common stock; preferred stock;
warrants; Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs); and rights. The Fund
may also invest in U.S. exchange-listed exchange-traded funds

(``ETFs'') \13\ and in U.S. exchange-listed closed-end funds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ For purposes of this filing, the term ``ETFs'' includes
Investment Company Units (as described in NYSE Arca Rule 5.2-
E(j)(3)); Portfolio Depositary Receipts (as described in NYSE Arca
Rule 8.100-E); and Managed Fund Shares (as described in NYSE Arca
Rule 8.600-E). All ETFs will be listed and traded in the U.S. on a
national securities exchange. While the Fund may invest in inverse
ETFs, the Fund will not invest in leveraged (e.g., 2X, -2X, 3X or -
3X) ETFs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Fund may hold over-the-counter (``OTC'') total return swaps on
U.S. and foreign exchange-listed equity securities.
    The Fund may hold cash and cash equivalents.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ For purposes of this filing, ``cash equivalents'' are the
short-term instruments enumerated in Commentary .01(c) to NYSE Arca
Rule 8.600-E.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Other Investments of the Fund

    In addition to the Fund's principal investments described above,
the Fund may invest in U.S. exchange-listed equity options and equity
index options and in Rule 144A securities.

C. Investment Restrictions

    The Fund's investments, including derivatives, will be consistent
with the Fund's investment objective and will not be used to enhance
leverage (although certain derivatives and other investments may result
in leverage). That is, the Fund's investments will not be used to seek
performance that is the multiple or inverse multiple (e.g., 2X or -3X)
of the Fund's primary broad-based securities benchmark index (as
defined in Form N-1A).
    The Fund will not invest in securities or other financial
instruments that have not been described in this proposed rule change.

D. Application of Generic Listing Requirements

    The Exchange represents that it is submitting this proposed rule
change because the portfolio for the Fund will not meet all of the
``generic'' listing requirements of Commentary .01 to NYSE Arca Rule
8.600-E applicable to the listing of Managed Fund Shares. The Exchange
represents that the Fund's portfolio would meet all such requirements
except for those set forth in Commentary .01(e),\15\ as described
below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ Commentary .01(e) to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E provides that a
portfolio may hold OTC derivatives, including forwards, options and
swaps on commodities, currencies and financial instruments (e.g.,
stocks, fixed income, interest rates, and volatility) or a basket or
index of any of the foregoing; however, on both an initial and
continuing basis, no more than 20% of the assets in the portfolio
may be invested in OTC derivatives. For purposes of calculating this
limitation, a portfolio's investment in OTC derivatives will be
calculated as the aggregate gross notional value of the OTC
derivatives.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes that the Fund's investments in OTC total
return swaps on U.S. and foreign exchange-listed equity securities may
exceed the 20% limit on investments in OTC derivatives set forth in in
Commentary .01(e). Alternatively, the Exchange proposes that up to 60%
of the Fund's assets (calculated as the aggregate gross notional value)
may be invested in OTC total return swaps on U.S. and foreign exchange-
listed equity securities.\16\ The only OTC derivatives that the Fund
may invest in are OTC total return swaps on U.S. and foreign exchange-
listed equity securities. The Exchange represents that, other than
Commentary .01(e), the Shares of the Fund will conform to the initial
and continued listing criteria under NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E and will
meet all other requirements of NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E and Commentary
.01 thereto.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ The Exchange represents that the Adviser monitors
counterparty credit risk exposure (including for OTC derivatives)
and evaluates counterparty credit quality on a continuous basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Proceedings To Determine Whether To Approve or Disapprove SR-
NYSEArca-2019-77 and Grounds for Disapproval Under Consideration

    The Commission is instituting proceedings pursuant to Section
19(b)(2)(B) of the Act \17\ to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be approved or disapproved. Institution of such
proceedings is appropriate at this time in view of the legal and policy
issues raised by the proposed rule change. Institution of proceedings
does not indicate that the Commission has reached any conclusions with
respect to any of the issues involved. Rather, as described below, the
Commission seeks and encourages interested persons to provide comments
on the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act,\18\ the Commission is
providing notice of the grounds for disapproval under consideration.
The Commission is instituting proceedings to allow for additional
analysis of the proposed rule change's consistency with Section 6(b)(5)
of the Act, which requires, among other things, that the rules of a
national securities exchange be ``designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, and ``to protect investors and the public
interest.'' \19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ Id.
    \19\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission asks that commenters address the sufficiency of the
Exchange's statements in support of the proposal, which are set forth
in the Notice,\20\ in addition to any other comments they may wish to
submit about the proposed rule change. In particular, the Commission
seeks commenters' views regarding whether the Exchange has adequately
described and provided clear information about the Fund's proposed
portfolio, including the Fund's proposed investments in securities of
companies that derive a significant portion of their revenue from the
marijuana and hemp business, in derivatives providing exposure to such
securities, and in securities of companies that, in the opinion of the
Advisor, may have current or future revenues from cannabis-related
business or that are registered with the DEA specifically for the
purpose of handling marijuana for lawful research and development of
cannabis or cannabinoid-related products, for the Commission to make a
determination under Section 6(b)(5) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ See Notice, supra note 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Procedure: Request for Written Comments

    The Commission requests that interested persons provide written
submissions of their views, data, and arguments with respect to the
issues identified above, as well as any other concerns they may have
with the proposal. In particular, the Commission invites the written
views of interested persons concerning whether the proposal is
consistent with Section 6(b)(5) or any other provision of the Act, or
the rules and regulations thereunder. Although there do not appear to
be any issues relevant to approval or disapproval that would be
facilitated by an oral presentation of views, data, and arguments, the
Commission will consider, pursuant to Rule 19b-4, any request for an
opportunity to make an oral presentation.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ Section 19(b)(2) of the Act, as amended by the Securities
Acts Amendments of 1975, Public Law 94-29 (June 4, 1975), grants the
Commission flexibility to determine what type of proceeding--either
oral or notice and opportunity for written comments--is appropriate
for consideration of a particular proposal by a self-regulatory
organization. See Securities Acts Amendments of 1975, Senate Comm.
on Banking, Housing & Urban Affairs, S. Rep. No. 75, 94th Cong., 1st
Sess. 30 (1975).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments regarding whether the proposal should be approved or
disapproved by April 9, 2020. Any person who wishes to file a rebuttal
to

any other person's submission must file that rebuttal by April 23,

change.

[Release No. 34-97881; File No. SR-CboeEDGA-2023-009]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe EDGA Exchange, Inc.; Notice
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To
Amend Its Fee Schedule

July 12, 2023.
    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 June 30, 2023, Cboe EDGA Exchange, Inc. (``Exchange'' or ``EDGX'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which
Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing
this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from
interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    Cboe EDGA Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``EDGA'') proposes to
amend its Fee Schedule. The text of the proposed rule change is
provided in Exhibit 5.
    The text of the proposed rule change is also available on the
Exchange's website (http://markets.cboe.com/us/equities/regulation/rule_filings/edga/), at the Exchange's Office of the Secretary, 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 Exchange proposes to amend its Fee Schedule applicable to its
equities trading platform (``EDGA Equities'') by amending the
definition of ADV and the definition of the Russell Reconstitution Day.
The Exchange proposes to implement these changes effective June 22,
2023.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Exchange initially filed the proposed fee change on June
22, 2023 (SR-CboeEDGA-2023-008). On June 30, 2023, the Exchange
withdrew that proposal and submitted this proposal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The ``definitions'' section of the Exchange's Fee Schedule defines
various terms used throughout the Fee Schedule. As explained under the
definitions of ADAV, ADV, and TCV,\4\ the Exchange currently excludes
the Russell Reconstitution Day from the calculation of ADAV, ADV, and
TCV, each of which are calculated on a monthly basis.\5\ The Russell
Reconstitution Day is defined in the Fee Schedule as ``the last Friday
in June.'' \6\ While generally the Russell Reconstitution Day does
occur on the last Friday in June, in months [sic] where there are five
Fridays in June the Russell Reconstitution Day instead falls on the
fourth Friday in June. The Exchange proposes to amend the definition of
Russell Reconstitution Day to ``the fourth Friday in June'' \7\ in
order to provide a more accurate description of the date which will not
be included in the calculation of ADAV, ADV, and TCV to its Members.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ ``ADAV'' means average daily added volume calculated as the
number of shares added per day and ``ADV'' means daily volume
calculated as the number of shares added to, removed from, or routed
by, the Exchange, or any combination or subset thereof, per day.
ADAV and ADV are calculated on a monthly basis. ``TCV'' means total
consolidated volume as the volume reported by all exchanges and
trade reporting facilities to a consolidated transaction reporting
plan for the month for which the fees apply. The Exchange notes that
it intends to amend the definition of ADV, discussed infra.
    \5\ The Russell Reconstitution Day is generally characterized by
high trading volumes, much of which are derived from market
participants who are not generally as active entering the market to
rebalance their holdings in-line with the annual rebalancing of the
Russell indices. The Exchange, along with other competing exchanges,
excludes the Russell Reconstitution Day from certain volume
calculations as the high trading volumes can significantly impact
trading and quoting calculations.
    \6\ See EDGA Equities Fee Schedule, Definitions.
    \7\ See Russell U.S. Equity Indices Construction and
Methodology, available at https://research.ftserussell.com/products/downloads/Russell-US-indexes.pdf (last accessed June 21, 2023).
    \8\ See Rule 1.5(n) (``Member''). The term ``Member'' shall mean
any registered broker or dealer that has been admitted to membership
in the Exchange. A Member will have the status of a ``member'' of
the Exchange as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(3) of the Act.
Membership may be granted to a sole proprietor, partnership,
corporation, limited liability company or other organization which
is a registered broker or dealer pursuant to Section 15 of the Act,
and which has been approved by the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also proposes to amend the definition of ADV in order
to correct an inadvertent removal of the word ``average''. The proposed
revised definition of ADV would read ``average daily volume calculated
as the number of shares added to, removed from, or routed by, the
Exchange, or any combination or subset thereof, per day.'' This
proposed definition will align the definition of ADV on the Exchange
with the definition of ADV on the Exchange's affiliates.\9\ The
Exchange is not proposing to make any other changes to the Definitions
in its Fee Schedule and will announce the change via a Trade Desk
notice to Members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See, e.g., EDGX Equities Fee Schedule, Definitions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the
Exchange and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the
Act.\10\ Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change
is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) \11\ requirements that the rules
of an exchange be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts
and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to
foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating,
clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
Additionally, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) \12\ requirement that the rules of
an exchange not be designed to permit unfair discrimination between
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers as well as Section 6(b)(4) \13\
as it is designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable
dues, fees and other charges among its Members and other persons using
its facilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \12\ Id.
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In particular, the Exchange believes its proposal to amend the
definition of the ``Russell Reconstitution Day'' is not designed to
permit unfair discrimination between customer, issuers, brokers, or
dealers and is designed to provide for the equitable allocation of
fees. Specifically, the proposal is intended only to add clarity to the
Exchange's Fee Schedule by providing Members with additional certainty
as to their level of rebates and costs for trading during the month of
June and involves no substantive change. Further, the Exchange's
proposal to amend the definition of ADV is intended to correct an
inadvertent deletion of the word ``average'' and align the definition
of ADV with the definition found on the Exchange's affiliates.
Additionally, the proposed changes promote just and equitable
principles of trade and are designed to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system as they provides transparency to Members regarding how ADV is
calculated and which date in the month of June will not be included in
the calculation of ADAV, ADV, and TCV.

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 that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. Rather, as discussed above,
the Exchange believes that the proposed changes would encourage the
submission of additional order flow to a public exchange, thereby
promoting market depth, execution incentives and enhanced execution
opportunities, as well as price discovery and transparency for all
Members. As a result, the Exchange believes that the proposed changes
further the Commission's goal in adopting Regulation NMS of fostering
competition among orders, which promotes ``more efficient pricing of

individual stocks for all types of orders, large and small.''
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule changes do not impose any
burden on intramarket competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. Specifically, the Exchange
does not believe that its proposal to revise the definitions of ``ADV''
and ``Russell Reconstitution Day'' will have any impact on competition
as the changes are only intended to add clarity to the Exchange's Fee
Schedule and involve no substantive change.
    Next, the Exchange believes the proposed rule changes does not
impose any burden on intermarket competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. As previously
discussed, the Exchange operates in a highly competitive market.
Members have numerous alternative venues that they may participate on
and direct their order flow, including other equities exchanges, off-
exchange venues, and alternative trading systems. Additionally, the
Exchange represents a small percentage of the overall market. By
providing Members with a greater level of certainty as to how their
volume is calculated and to which date in the month of June will be
excluded from the calculation of ADAV, ADV, and TCV, the Exchange is
providing additional certainty as to the level of rebates and costs for
trading during the month of the Russell reconstitution, which could
promote competition between the Exchange and other execution venues.
Accordingly, the Exchange does not believe its proposed fee change
imposes any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.

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 \14\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \15\
thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed
rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission will institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

information to assist the Agency in implementing the FDA Food Safety
Modernization Act (FSMA), which added new provisions to the Reportable
Food Registry (RFR) requirements of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act). We are taking this action in response to a
request for an extension to allow interested persons additional time to
submit comments.

DATES: Submit either electronic or written comments by August 18, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In the Federal Register of March 26, 2014 (79 FR 16698), we
published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking with a 75-day
comment period to request comments to assist us in implementing FSMA,
which added new provisions to the RFR requirements of the FD&C Act.
Interested persons were originally given until June 9, 2014, to comment
on the advance notice of proposed rulemaking.
    We have received a request for a 60-day extension of the comment
period for the advance notice of proposed rulemaking. The request
conveyed concern that the 75-day comment period did not allow
sufficient time to develop a meaningful or thoughtful response to the
advance notice of proposed rulemaking particularly in light of other
FSMA-related rulemakings for which the Agency is also requesting
comments.
    We have considered the request and are reopening the comment period
for the advance notice of proposed rulemaking for 60 days, until August
18, 2014. We believe that reopening the comment period an additional 60
days allows adequate time for interested persons to submit comments
without significantly delaying rulemaking on these important issues.

II. Request for Comments

    Interested persons may submit either electronic comments regarding
this document to http://www.regulations.gov or written comments to the
Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES). It is only necessary to
send one set of comments. Received comments may be seen in the Division
of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday,
and will be posted to the docket at http://www.regulations.gov.

    Dated: June 13, 2014.

Proposed Collection; 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:
    Form SE

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities

and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the
collection of information summarized below. The Commission plans to
submit this existing collection of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension and approval.
    Form SE (17 CFR 239.64) is used by registrants to file paper copies
of exhibits, reports or other documents that would be difficult or
impossible to submit electronically, as provided in Rule 311 of
Regulation S-T (17 CFR 232.311). The information contained in Form SE
is used by the Commission to identify paper copies of exhibits. Form SE
is filed by individuals, companies or other entities that are required
to file documents electronically. Approximately 19 registrants file
Form SE and it takes an estimated 0.10 hours per response for a total
annual burden of 2 hours (0.10 hours per response x 19 responses).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected;
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60
days of this publication.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid control number.
    Please direct your written comment to David Bottom, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o John
Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to:
[email protected].
