SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-74205; File No. SR-ISE Gemini-2015-03]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; ISE Gemini, LLC; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend the
Schedule of Fees

February 4, 2015.
    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 January 23, 2015, ISE Gemini, LLC (the ``Exchange'' or ``ISE
Gemini'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission the
proposed rule change, as described in Items I, II, and III below, which
items have been prepared by the self-regulatory organization. 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

    ISE Gemini proposes to amend the Schedule of Fees to eliminate fees
and rebates for Mini Options, which were delisted on the Exchange as of
the close of business on December 17, 2014. The text of the proposed
rule change is available on the Exchange's Internet Web site at 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 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 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 Exchange is permitted to list Mini Option contracts overlying
ten shares of the following five symbols: SPY, AAPL, GLD, GOOGL, and
AMZN, pursuant to Supplementary Material .13 to Rule 504. Due to the
smaller exercise and assignment value of Mini Options contracts, the
Exchange charges fees and provides rebates in these Mini Option classes
at a rate that is 1/10th the rate of fees and rebates the Exchange
provides for trading in Standard Options. As the Exchange has delisted
all Mini Options as of the close of business on December 17, 2014, the
Exchange now proposes to eliminate fees and rebates for Mini Options in
the Schedule of Fees. In particular, the Exchange also proposes to
remove language related to Mini Options in the following sections of
the Schedule of Fees:
    1. Sections II, which contains tables on Regular Order Fees and
Rebates for Mini Options, including Qualifying Tier Thresholds. This
section will be eliminated in its entirety.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Exchange proposes to update section references to take
into account the new section numbers when this section is removed.
Section references in this proposed rule change are to the current
section numbers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2. The definition of Mini Options in the Preface.
    3. Language related to basing volume thresholds on both Standard
and Mini Option volume in the footnotes to the Qualifying Tier
Thresholds of section I.
    4. Route-out fees for Mini Options in section III, A.
    5. Language related to charging the Options Regulatory Fee for
options transactions in Mini Options in section IV, A.

    In connection with the above changes, the Exchange further proposes
to remove related references to Standard Options, as the distinction
between Standard Options and Mini Options is no longer necessary with
the delisting of Mini Options.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the provisions of section 6 of the Act,\4\ in general, and section
6(b)(4) of the Act,\5\ in particular, in that 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    Specifically, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change
is reasonable, equitable, and not unfairly discriminatory as all Mini
Option classes have been delisted on the Exchange as of the close of
business on December 17, 2014. The Exchange believes that eliminating
fees and rebates for Mini Options (and removing superfluous references
to Standard Options) will simplify the Schedule of Fees and reduce
investor confusion as to what products trade on the Exchange. The
Exchange represents that in the event it determines to relist Mini
Options in the future it will first submit a proposed rule change to
adopt fees and rebates applicable to Mini Options.

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

    In accordance with section 6(b)(8) of the Act,\6\ the Exchange does
not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on
intermarket or intramarket competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed
rule change is intended solely to eliminate investor confusion as to
the products that trade on the Exchange. As such, the Exchange believes
the proposed rule change will have no competitive impact.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 Act,\7\ and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder,\8\ because it establishes a due, fee, or other charge
imposed by ISE Gemini.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii).
    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-9930-06-OGC]

Proposed Consent Decree, Clean Air Act Citizen Suit

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed consent decree; request for public comment.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 113(g) of the Clean Air Act, as
amended, (``CAA'' or the ``Act''), notice is hereby given of a proposed
consent decree to address a lawsuit filed by Sierra Club and California
Communities Against Toxics (collectively ``Plaintiffs''): Sierra Club,
et al. v. EPA, No. 13-1639 (D. DC). In this lawsuit, Plaintiffs allege
that EPA has failed to review, and revise if necessary, the national
emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (``NESHAP'') for
publicly owned treatment works (``POTWs'') within eight years of
initial promulgation. They also allege that EPA failed to promulgate
``residual risk'' standards for POTWs or to determine that residual
risk standards for POTWs are not necessary within eight years of
initial promulgation of the NESHAP. The proposed consent decree
establishes deadlines for EPA to take proposed and final action for
meeting EPA's obligations under the applicable CAA provisions.

DATES: Written comments on the proposed consent decree must be received
by August 5, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID number EPA-HQ-
OGC-2015-0430, online at www.regulations.gov (EPA's preferred method);
by email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>by mail to EPA Docket Center,
Environmental Protection Agency, Mailcode: 2822T, 1200 Pennsylvania
Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460-0001; or by hand delivery or courier to
EPA Docket Center, EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW.,
Washington, DC, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday,
excluding legal holidays. Comments on a disk or CD-ROM should be
formatted in Word or ASCII file, avoiding the use of special characters
and any form of encryption, and may be mailed to the mailing address
above.

Office (2344A), Office of General Counsel, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460;
telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Additional Information About the Proposed Consent Decree

    Under sections 112(d)(6) and 112(f)(2) of the CAA, EPA has a
mandatory duty to take actions relative to the review/revision of
national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (``NESHAP'')
within eight years of the issuance of such standards. The proposed
consent decree would resolve a deadline suit filed by Plaintiffs
alleging EPA's failure to take the above actions within eight years of
issuing the NESHAP for the POTW source category (40 CFR part 63,
subpart VVV). The proposed consent decree establishes that EPA will
propose action by December 8, 2016 and take final action by October 16,
2017. See the proposed consent decree for further details.
    For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication
of this notice, the Agency will accept written comments relating to the
proposed

consent decree from persons who were not named as parties or
interveners to the litigation in question. EPA or the Department of
Justice may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed consent decree
if the comments disclose facts or considerations that indicate that
such consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent
with the requirements of the Act. Unless EPA or the Department of
Justice determines that consent to this consent decree should be
withdrawn, the terms of the decree will be affirmed.

II. Additional Information About Commenting on the Proposed Consent
Decree

A. How can I get a copy of the consent decree?

    The official public docket for this action (identified by Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OGC-2015-0430) contains a copy of the proposed consent
decree. The official public docket is available for public viewing at
the Office of Environmental Information (OEI) Docket in the EPA Docket
Center, EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington,
DC. The EPA Docket Center Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to
4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The
telephone number for the Public Reading Room is<PHONE_NUMBER>, and the
telephone number for the OEI Docket is<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    An electronic version of the public docket is available through
www.regulations.gov. You may use www.regulations.gov to submit or view
public comments, access the index listing of the contents of the
official public docket, and to access those documents in the public
docket that are available electronically. Once in the system, key in
the appropriate docket identification number then select ``search.''
    It is important to note that EPA's policy is that public comments,
whether submitted electronically or in paper, will be made available
for public viewing online at www.regulations.gov without change, unless
the comment contains copyrighted material, information that is claimed
as confidential business information (CBI), or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Information claimed as CBI and
other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute is not
included in the official public docket or in the electronic public
docket. EPA's policy is that copyrighted material, including
copyrighted material contained in a public comment, will not be placed
in EPA's electronic public docket but will be available only in
printed, paper form in the official public docket. Although not all
docket materials may be available electronically, you may still access
any of the publicly available docket materials through the EPA Docket
Center.

B. How and to whom do I submit comments?

    You may submit comments as provided in the ADDRESSES section.
Please ensure that your comments are submitted within the specified
comment period. Comments received after the close of the comment period
will be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late
comments.
    If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name, mailing address, and an email address or other
contact information in the body of your comment and with any disk or CD
ROM you submit. This ensures that you can be identified as the
submitter of the comment and allows EPA to contact you in case EPA
cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties or needs further
information on the substance of your comment. Any identifying or
contact information provided in the body of a comment will be included
as part of the comment that is placed in the official public docket,
and made available in EPA's electronic public docket. If EPA cannot
read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you
for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment.
    Use of the www.regulations.gov Web site to submit comments to EPA
electronically is EPA's preferred method for receiving comments. The
electronic public docket system is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means EPA will not know your identity, email address, or other
contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment.
In contrast to EPA's electronic public docket, EPA's electronic mail
(email) system is not an ``anonymous access'' system. If you send an
email comment directly to the Docket without going through
www.regulations.gov, your email address is automatically captured and
included as part of the comment that is placed in the official public
docket, and made available in EPA's electronic public docket.

Rule, the Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, the
Revised Total Coliform Rule, and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and
Disinfection Byproducts Rule. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
has determined that these revisions by the State of Nevada are no less
stringent than the corresponding Federal regulations and otherwise meet
applicable SDWA primacy requirements. Therefore, EPA intends to approve
these revisions to the State of Nevada's PWSSP.

DATES: Request for a public hearing must be received on or before July
9, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    EPA approved the State of Nevada's original application for PWSSP
primary enforcement authority which, following the public notice
period, became effective on February 27, 1978 (43 FR 8030). EPA has
approved various revisions to Nevada's primacy program since then.

Public Process

    Any interested party may request a public hearing on this
determination. A request for a public hearing must be submitted by July
9, 2018, to the Regional Administrator at the EPA Region 9 address
shown above. Any request for a public hearing shall include the
following information: 1. The name, address, and telephone number of
the individual, organization, or other entity requesting a hearing; 2.
A brief statement of the requesting person's interest in the Regional
Administrator's determination and a brief statement of the information
that the requesting person intends to submit at such hearing; and 3.
The signature of the individual making the request, or, if the request
is made on behalf of an organization or other entity, the signature of
a responsible official of the organization or other entity. The
Regional Administrator may deny frivolous or insubstantial requests for
a hearing. If a valid request for a public hearing is made within the
requested timeframe, a public hearing will be held and a notice of such
hearing will be given in the Federal Register and a newspaper of
general circulation.
    If EPA Region 9 does not receive a timely and appropriate request
for a hearing and the Regional Administrator does not elect to hold a
hearing, this determination shall become final and effective on July 9,
2018, and no further public notice will be issued.

    Authority:  Section 1413 of the Safe Drinking Water Act, 42
U.S.C. 300g-2 (1996), and 40 CFR part 142 of the National Primary
Drinking Water Regulations.

Thirty-Fifth Update of the Federal Agency Hazardous Waste
Compliance Docket

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

SUMMARY: Since 1988, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has
maintained a Federal Agency Hazardous Waste Compliance Docket
(``Docket'') under Section 120(c) of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). Section 120(c)
requires EPA to establish a Docket that contains certain information
reported to EPA by Federal facilities that manage hazardous waste or
from which a reportable quantity of hazardous substances has been
released. As explained further below, the Docket is used to identify
Federal facilities that should be evaluated to determine if they pose a
threat to public health or welfare and the environment and to provide a
mechanism to make this information available to the public.
    This notice identifies the Federal facilities not previously listed
on the Docket and also identifies Federal facilities reported to EPA
since the last update on October 29, 2018. In addition to the list of
additions to the Docket, this notice includes a section with revisions
of the previous Docket list and

a section of Federal facilities that are to be deleted from the Docket.
Thus, the revisions in this update include 21 additions, 1 deletion,
and 1 correction to the Docket since the previous update. At the time
of publication of this notice, the new total number of Federal
facilities listed on the Docket is 2,375.

DATES: This list is current as of April 5, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Electronic versions of the Docket and
more information on its implementation can be obtained at http://www.epa.gov/fedfac/previous-federal-agency-hazardous-waste-compliance-docket-updates by clicking on the link for Cleanups at Federal
Facilities or by contacting Benjamin Simes ([email protected]),

1.0 Introduction

    Section 120(c) of CERCLA, 42 United States Code (U.S.C.) 9620(c),
as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986
(SARA), requires EPA to establish the Federal Agency Hazardous Waste
Compliance Docket. The Docket contains information on Federal
facilities that manage hazardous waste and such information is
submitted by Federal agencies to EPA under Sections 3005, 3010, and
3016 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), 42 U.S.C.
6925, 6930, and 6937. Additionally, the Docket contains information on
Federal facilities with a reportable quantity of hazardous substances
that has been released and such information is submitted by Federal
agencies to EPA under Section 103 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9603.
Specifically, RCRA Section 3005 establishes a permitting system for
certain hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal (TSD)
facilities; RCRA Section 3010 requires waste generators, transporters
and TSD facilities to notify EPA of their hazardous waste activities;
and RCRA Section 3016 requires Federal agencies to submit biennially to
EPA an inventory of their Federal hazardous waste facilities. CERCLA
Section 103(a) requires the owner or operator of a vessel or onshore or
offshore facility to notify the National Response Center (NRC) of any
spill or other release of a hazardous substance that equals or exceeds
a reportable quantity (RQ), as defined by CERCLA Section 101.
Additionally, CERCLA Section 103(c) requires facilities that have
``stored, treated, or disposed of'' hazardous wastes and where there is
``known, suspected, or likely releases'' of hazardous substances to
report their activities to EPA.
    CERCLA Section 120(d) requires EPA to take steps to assure that a
Preliminary Assessment (PA) be completed for those sites identified in
the Docket and that the evaluation and listing of sites with a PA be
completed within a reasonable time frame. The PA is designed to provide
information for EPA to consider when evaluating the site for potential
response action or inclusion on the National Priorities List (NPL).
    The Docket serves three major purposes: (1) To identify all Federal
facilities that must be evaluated to determine whether they pose a
threat to human health and the environment sufficient to warrant
inclusion on the National Priorities List (NPL); (2) to compile and
maintain the information submitted to EPA on such facilities under the
provisions listed in Section 120(c) of CERCLA; and (3) to provide a
mechanism to make the information available to the public.
    The initial list of Federal facilities to be included on the Docket
was published in the Federal Register on February 12, 1988 (53 FR
4280). Since then, updates to the Docket have been published on
November 16, 1988 (53 FR 46364); December 15, 1989 (54 FR 51472);

3.0 Revisions of the Previous Docket

    This section includes a discussion of the additions, deletions, and
corrections, to the list of Docket facilities since the previous Docket
update.

3.1 Additions

    These Federal facilities are being added primarily because of new
information obtained by EPA (for example, recent reporting of a
facility pursuant to RCRA Sections 3005, 3010, or 3016 or CERCLA
Section 103). CERCLA Section 120, as amended by the Defense
Authorization Act of 1997, specifies that EPA take steps to assure that
a Preliminary Assessment (PA) be completed within a reasonable time
frame for those Federal facilities that are included on the Docket.
Among other things, the PA is designed to provide information for EPA
to consider when evaluating the site for potential response action or
listing on the NPL. This notice includes 21 additions.

3.2 Deletions

    There are no statutory or regulatory provisions that address
deletion of a facility from the Docket. However, if a facility is
incorrectly included on the Docket, it may be deleted from the Docket.
The criteria EPA uses in deleting sites from the Docket include: A
facility for which there was an incorrect report submitted for
hazardous waste activity under RCRA (e.g., 40 CFR 262.44); a facility
that was not Federally-owned or operated at the time of the listing; a
facility included more than once (i.e., redundant listings); or when
multiple facilities are combined under one listing. (See Docket Codes
(Categories for Deletion of Facilities) for a more refined list of the
criteria EPA uses for deleting sites from the Docket. Facilities being
deleted no longer will be subject to the requirements of CERCLA Section
120(d). This notice includes one deletion.

3.3 Corrections

    Changes necessary to correct the previous Docket are identified by
both EPA and Federal agencies. The corrections section may include
changes in addresses or spelling, and corrections of the recorded name
and ownership of a Federal facility. In addition, changes in the names
of Federal facilities may be made to establish consistency in the
Docket or between the Superfund Enterprise Management System (SEMS) and
the Docket. For the Federal facility for which a correction is entered,
the original entry is as it appeared in previous Docket updates. The
corrected update is shown directly below, for easy comparison. This
notice includes one correction.

4.0 Process for Compiling the Updated Docket

    In compiling the newly reported Federal facilities for the update
being published in this notice, EPA extracted the names, addresses, and
identification numbers of facilities from four EPA databases--the
WebEOC, the Biennial Inventory of Federal Agency Hazardous Waste
Activities, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Information
System (RCRAInfo), and SEMS--that contain information about Federal
facilities submitted under the four provisions listed in CERCLA Section
120(c).
    EPA assures the quality of the information on the Docket by
conducting extensive evaluation of the current Docket list and contacts
the other Federal Agency (OFA) with the information obtained from the
databases identified above to determine which Federal facilities were,
in fact, newly reported and qualified for inclusion on the update. EPA
is also striving to correct errors for Federal facilities that were
previously reported. For example, state-owned or privately-owned
facilities that are not operated by the Federal government may have
been included. Such problems are sometimes caused by procedures
historically used to report and track Federal facilities data.
Representatives of Federal agencies are asked to contact the EPA HQ
Docket Coordinator at the address provided in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice if revisions of this update
information are necessary.

5.0 Facilities Not Included

    Certain categories of facilities may not be included on the Docket,
such as: (1) Federal facilities formerly owned by a Federal agency that
at the time of consideration was not Federally-owned or operated; (2)
Federal facilities that are small quantity generators (SQGs) that have
not, more than once per calendar year, generated more than 1,000 kg of
hazardous waste in any single month; (3) Federal facilities that are
very small quantity generators (VSQGs) that have never generated more
than 100 kg of hazardous waste in any month; (4) Federal facilities
that are solely hazardous waste transportation facilities, as reported
under RCRA Section 3010; and (5) Federal facilities that have mixed
mine or mill site ownership.
    An EPA policy issued in June 2003 provided guidance for a site-by-
site evaluation as to whether ``mixed ownership'' mine or mill sites,
typically created as a result of activities conducted pursuant to the
General Mining Law of 1872 and never reported under Section 103(a),
should be included on the Docket. For purposes of that policy, mixed
ownership mine or mill sites are those located partially on private
land and partially on public land. This policy is found at http://www.epa.gov/fedfac/policy-listing-mixed-ownership-mine-or-mill-sites-created-result-general-mining-law-1872. The policy of not including
these facilities may change; facilities now omitted may be added at
some point if EPA determines that they should be included.

6.0 Facility NPL Status Reporting, Including NFRAP Status

    EPA tracks the NPL status of Federal facilities listed on the
Docket. An updated list of the NPL status of all Docket facilities, as
well as their NFRAP status, is available at http://www.epa.gov/fedfac/fedfacts or by contacting the EPA HQ Docket Coordinator at the address
provided in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice.
In prior updates, information regarding NFRAP status changes was
provided separately.

7.0 Information Contained on Docket Listing

    The information is provided in three tables. The first table is a
list of additional Federal facilities that are being added to the
Docket. The second table is a list of Federal facilities that are being
deleted from the Docket. The third table is for corrections.
    The Federal facilities listed in each table are organized by the
date reported. Under each heading is listed the name and address of the
facility, the Federal agency responsible for the facility, the
statutory provision(s) under which the facility was reported to EPA,
and a code.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Each Federal facility listed in the update has been assigned
a code that indicates a specific reason for the addition or
deletion. The code precedes this list.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The statutory provisions under which a Federal facility is reported
are listed in a column titled ``Reporting Mechanism.'' Applicable
mechanisms are listed for each Federal facility: For example, Sections
3005, 3010, 3016, 103(c), or Other. ``Other'' has been added as a
reporting mechanism to indicate those Federal facilities that otherwise
have been identified to have releases or threat of releases of
hazardous substances. The National Contingency Plan 40 CFR 300.405
addresses discovery or notification, outlines what constitutes
discovery of a hazardous substance release, and states that a release
may be discovered in several ways, including: (1) A report submitted in
accordance with Section 103(a) of CERCLA, i.e., reportable quantities
codified at 40 CFR part 302; (2) a report submitted to EPA in
accordance with Section 103(c) of CERCLA; (3) investigation by
government authorities conducted in accordance with Section 104(e) of
CERCLA or other statutory authority; (4) notification of a release by a
Federal or state permit holder when required by its permit; (5)
inventory or survey efforts or random or incidental observation
reported by government agencies or the public; (6) submission of a
citizen petition to EPA or the appropriate Federal facility requesting
a preliminary assessment, in accordance with Section 105(d) of CERCLA;
(7) a report submitted in accordance with Section 311(b)(5) of the
Clean Water Act; and (8) other sources. As a policy matter, EPA
generally believes it is appropriate for Federal facilities identified
through the CERCLA discovery and notification process to be included on
the Docket.
    The complete list of Federal facilities that now make up the Docket
and the NPL and NFRAP status are available to interested parties and
can be obtained at http://www.epa.gov/fedfac/fedfacts or by contacting
the EPA HQ Docket Coordinator at the address provided in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice. As of the date of
this notice, the total number of Federal facilities that appear on the
Docket is 2,375.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-82325; File No. SR-NYSE-2017-67]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To
Amend Rule 300

December 14, 2017.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that on December 11, 2017, New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE''
or the ``Exchange'') 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 self-regulatory
organization. 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\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 300 (Trading Licenses). The
proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's website at
www.nyse.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 those 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
    NYSE Rule 300(b) currently provides that, in each annual offering,
up to 1,366 trading licenses for the following calendar year will be
sold annually at a price per trading license to be established each
year by the Exchange pursuant to a rule filing submitted to the
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') and that the price
per trading license will be published each year in the Exchange's price
list.
    The Exchange proposes to delete the phrase ``each year'' in the
first and second sentences of Rule 300(b) and the phrase ``established
for that year by the Exchange pursuant to section (b) above'' in Rule
300(b)(i).
    The Exchange establishes its fees for trading licenses pursuant to
separate proposed rule changes. The last time the Exchange amended its
trading license fee was on July 1, 2016.\4\ Because the NYSE Price List
sets forth this annual fee and is continuously available on the
Exchange's website, the Exchange believes it is redundant to make a
separate proposed rule change under Rule 300(b) to ``establish'' a
trading license fee even if the fee is not changing. The Exchange
believes that amending Rule 300(b) by deleting the proposed text would
relieve the Exchange of the need to make a rule filing with the
Commission in those years when the fee would remain the same, and only
require a rule filing when the Exchange is changing the amount of the
fee set forth in the NYSE Price List. The proposal is consistent with
the way the Exchange handles the other fees set forth in its Price
List. The remaining requirements of Rule 300 would remain unchanged.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 78233 (July 6,
2016), 81 FR 45190 (July 12, 2016) (SR-NYSE-2016-47) (establishing
the current trading license fee of $50,000 for the first license
held by a member organization and no charge for additional licenses
held by a member organization).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\5\ in general, and

Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\6\ in particular, in that it is 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 facilitating transactions in
securities, and to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system. In particular, the
Exchange believes that the proposal removes impediments to and perfects
the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system by
eliminating redundant annual rule filings when the Exchange is not
changing its fees. The Exchange further believes that the proposal
removes impediments to and perfects the mechanism of a free and open
market by reducing potential confusion among market participants and
the investing public who may see a rule filing and mistake it for a fee
change when in fact a fee is not changing. For these reasons, the
Exchange believes that the proposed rule filing would not be
inconsistent with the public interest and the protection of investors
because investors will not be harmed and in fact would benefit from
added clarity and consistency, thereby reducing potential confusion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the foregoing reasons, the Exchange believes that the proposal
is consistent with the Exchange Act.

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. The proposed rule change is
not designed to address any competitive issues but rather eliminate the
requirement for a rule filing that would not change any fees and that
could cause potential confusion that fees may be changing in a year
when they are not.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\8\
Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly
affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose
any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as
the Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \9\ and subparagraph (f)(6) Rule
19b-4 thereunder.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the
Exchange's intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a
brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at least
five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The
Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the
Act \11\ normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date
of its filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \12\ permits the
Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange
has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that
the proposal may become operative immediately upon filing. The Exchange
believes that waiver of the operative delay is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest because it would reduce
potential confusion, without delay, by eliminating the requirement for
the Exchange to file a redundant proposed rule change that does not
change a fee. The Commission believes the waiver of the operative delay
is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.
Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the operative delay and
designates the proposal operative upon filing.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \13\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \14\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
