Committee and the Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee.

    General Function of the Committees: To provide advice and
recommendations to the agency on FDA's regulatory issues.
     Date and Time: The meeting will be held on May 5 and 6, 2008, from

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-57299; File No. SR-FINRA-2008-004]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change To Establish a Fee for the Submission of Non-Media
Reports to the NASD/NSX Trade Reporting Facility

 February 8, 2008.
    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 February 6, 2008, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(``FINRA'') (f/k/a National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
(``NASD'')) 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 substantially by FINRA.
FINRA has designated this proposal as one establishing or changing a
member due, fee, or other charge imposed by Nasdaq under Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) thereunder,\4\
which renders the proposal effective upon filing with the Commission.
The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

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

    FINRA is proposing to establish a fee for the submission of non-
media reports to the NASD/NSX Trade Reporting Facility (the ``NASD/NSX
TRF'').\5\ The text of the proposed rule change is available at
http://www.finra.org, the principal offices of FINRA, and the Commission's

Public Reference Room.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Effective July 30, 2007, FINRA was formed through the
consolidation of NASD and the member regulatory functions of NYSE
Regulation. Accordingly, the NASD/NSX TRF is now doing business as
the FINRA/NSX TRF. The formal name change of each Trade Reporting
Facility is pending and once completed, FINRA will file a separate
proposed rule change to reflect those changes in the Manual.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    In its filing with the Commission, FINRA 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. FINRA 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
Background
    On November 6, 2006, the Commission approved the establishment of
the NASD/NSX TRF,\6\ and on November 27, 2006, the NASD/NSX TRF
commenced operation. The NASD/NSX TRF provides FINRA members with
another mechanism for reporting locked-in transactions in NMS stocks,
as defined in Rule 600(b)(47) of Regulation NMS under the Act,\7\
effected otherwise than on an exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54715 (November 6,
2006), 71 FR 66354 (November 14, 2006) (SR-NASD-2006-108).
    \7\ 7 17 CFR 242.600(b)(47).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In connection with the establishment of the NASD/NSX TRF, FINRA and
National Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NSX'') entered into a Limited
Liability Company Agreement for NASD/NSX Trade Reporting Facility LLC
(the ``NASD/NSX TRF LLC Agreement''), a copy of which appears in the
NASD Manual. Under the NASD/NSX TRF LLC Agreement, FINRA, the ``SRO
Member,'' has sole regulatory responsibility for the NASD/NSX TRF. NSX,
the ``Business Member,'' is primarily responsible for the management of
the NASD/NSX TRF's business affairs, including establishing pricing for
use of the NASD/NSX TRF, to the extent those affairs are not
inconsistent with the regulatory and oversight functions of FINRA.
Additionally, the Business Member is obligated to pay the cost of
regulation and is entitled to the profits and losses, if any, derived
from the operation of the NASD/NSX TRF.
    FINRA members can submit to the NASD/NSX TRF ``media'' reports
(i.e., trade reports that are publicly disseminated by the Securities
Information Processors (``SIPs'')) and ``non-media'' reports (i.e.,
reports that are submitted not for publication by the SIPs, but solely
for clearing and/or regulatory purposes). Because FINRA uses all
reports submitted, whether media or non-media, in conducting its
regulatory and oversight functions, the NASD/NSX TRF is charged
regulatory costs by FINRA based on all such reports that are submitted
to the NASD/NSX TRF. However, market data revenue generated for NASD/
NSX TRF activity is derived solely from media reports submitted and, as
provided in NASD Rule 7002C, no other fees currently apply to the use
of the NASD/NSX TRF. Thus, NSX, as the Business Member, believes that
members should be charged a fee for submission of non-media reports
that would serve to offset directly its regulatory costs associated
with non-media reports.
Proposed Fee for Submission of Non-Media Reports
    Accordingly, FINRA is proposing to adopt new NASD Rule 7003C to
establish a fee for the submission of non-media reports to the NASD/NSX
TRF. Specifically, under the proposed Rule, at the end of each billing
cycle, a FINRA member will be charged a fee in the amount of $.0075 for
each non-media report that the member submitted to the NASD/NSX TRF
during that billing cycle. For purposes of the proposed Rule, a non-
media report is any report submitted by the member to the NASD/NSX TRF
that is not submitted by the NASD/NSX TRF to the Consolidated Tape
Association or the Nasdaq Securities Information Processor.
    NSX, as the Business Member, has determined that the proposed fee
of $.0075 per report best approximates its regulatory costs associated
with non-media reports submitted to the NASD/NSX TRF and is necessary
for competitive reasons. NSX believes that the ability to offset such
regulatory costs is crucial to the business of the NASD/NSX TRF and
will keep the NASD/NSX TRF's prices competitive.
    Additionally, FINRA is proposing a technical amendment to NASD Rule
7002C to clarify that there will be no charge for use of the NASD/NSX
TRF, except as otherwise provided in the Rule 7000C Series (Charges for
NASD/NSX Trade Reporting Facility Services). This technical amendment
is necessary to avoid any potential confusion between Rule 7002C and
proposed Rule 7003C.

    FINRA has filed the proposed rule change for immediate
effectiveness. The operative date will be the date of filing.
2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A of the Act,\8\ in general, and with Section
15A(b)(5) of the Act,\9\ in particular, which requires, among other
things, that FINRA rules provide for the equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees and other charges among members and issuers and
other persons using any facility or system that FINRA operates or
controls. FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is a reasonable
fee structure in that it will be applied uniformly to all FINRA members
that submit non-media reports to the NASD/NSX TRF.

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

    FINRA does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in
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

BILLING CODE 8011-01-P


                                  MEMORANDUM

Tetra Tech, Inc. 10306 Eaton Place, Suite 340 Fairfax, VA 22030 phone<PHONE_NUMBER> fax<PHONE_NUMBER>

TO:			Paul Shriner, EPA FROM:		Blaine Snyder, Henry Latimer and Kelly Meadows DATE: 		December 7, 2010

SUBJECT:	Estimated costs for conducting entrainment monitoring

Introduction

Tetra Tech was tasked with developing an estimate for entrainment monitoring costs.  This memo provides multiple examples of monitoring cost estimates developed by Tetra Tech in support of 316(b) as a way to provide perspective on entrainment sampling costs and ultimately supports the use of a cost estimate of approximately $490,000 per facility per year.  This cost is reasonable on a national scale, but site-specific costs can vary significantly depending on the exact study design, the site location, the experience/expertise of the staff conducting the sampling, and other assumptions.

Examples

Example 1

Tetra Tech (and one subcontractor) conducted entrainment sampling at "small facilities" for EPA in 2002 in support of Phase III Rule development.  We sampled at 6 facilities in the Delaware River estuary, which represents relatively local travel.  Each facility was visited twice during the peak of the spawning/nursery season.  We collected both entrainment and nearfield samples for one week (4 days) during each of the two sampling events.  Each day consisted of sampling every 3 hours over the 24-hour period.  Our total number of samples was approximately 700, and the total cost of the project was just over $600K.  Keep in mind that we're "experienced" in impingement and entrainment sampling and design (and we used an experienced subcontractor), the sampling was local, and the total costs are 2002 dollars.

Example 2

We reviewed the costs provided in the Phase II NODA (2003) and the ICR Cost Analysis and attempted to extract only entrainment sampling, laboratory, analysis, and reporting costs.  It appears that the sampling scheme proposed at the time was 3 years of sampling, 26 weeks each, with 5 samples per week, for a total of 390 entrainment samples per facility.  It is not straightforward to extract the costs from the expansive spreadsheets, but it appears that the total annual cost per facility would be approximately $100K (or $300K for 3 years of sampling).  This represents on-site entrainment sampling, using experienced personnel, and a 2003 dollar value.

Example 3

We generated cost estimates for EPA in November 2009 based on entrainment study assumptions discussed at that time: 100 sampling events per year; sampling once per week for 10 months; sampling daily for the other 2 months; collecting 24-hour composite samples; and sampling at any/all waterbody types (excluding marine).  We added the assumptions that all samples were truly entrainment samples, collected on-site at the facility (e.g., behind the screens) and did not include any nearfield samples, boat samples, and the like.  Therefore, equipment costs (e.g., boats, nets, etc.) were not included as part of other direct costs.  Three scenarios were considered, including: a) use of a non-local consultant (i.e., requiring travel to the sampling site); b) use of a local consultant; and c) "in-house" sampling (i.e., consultants would train facility employees to do the work, resulting in labor costs that are near zero).  Consideration of the three scenarios resulted in total costs of approximately $490K, $320K, and $100K per year, respectively, in 2009 dollars. (See Attachment A.)

Discussion

As noted above, several of the cost estimates presented here were derived on a national scale using very broad assumptions and may not be representative of site-specific costs for some facilities.  Given the complexity of sampling, the lack of on-site or in-house experience, and the high level of expertise involved in conducting scientifically valid studies, we believe that most entrainment studies would be conducted by non-local consultants, resulting in the highest cost scenario presented in Example 3 above.  As a result, it is logical and appropriate to use those costs as the basis for estimating overall rule costs.

One common thread in all of these examples, despite differences in numbers of samples, locations, etc., is that the absolute minimum dollar amount needed for an entrainment sampling exercise is $100K.  However, these minimum costs can be considerably higher at some facilities due to high organism abundances, sampling access challenges, etc., and costs could easily climb to $500K, depending on the sampling scenario (even with number of samples remaining equal).  Further, costs would be expected to be higher for facilities with multiple generating units and/or cooling water intake structures.  Accordingly, it is clear that these lower estimates are not appropriate to consider in a national scale estimate; they may represent the true costs for some facilities, but are not likely to be representative of costs on a wider scale.

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed for Incorporation by
Reference

    This document would amend FAA Order 7400.9Z, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, and effective September 15,
2015. FAA Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.9Z 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 Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface at Truckee-Tahoe Airport,
Truckee, CA. The FAA identified that Homewood Seaplane Base, a closed
runway, was contained in the current Truckee-Tahoe airport legal
description. A review of the Truckee-Tahoe airspace was completed
eliminating the Homewood Seaplane Base from the legal description and
removing airspace no longer required for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)
operations at the airport. The Class E airspace area would be modified
to within a 4.2-mile radius of the Truckee-Tahoe Airport, with segments
extending from the 4.2-mile radius to 19 miles north of the airport,
and 16.5 miles northwest of the airport.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2015, and effective September 15,
2015, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designations

listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

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.

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

    In 2010, Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Act, establishing a
comprehensive framework for regulating the over-the-counter swaps
markets.\2\ As required by Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act, new section
15F(h) of the Exchange Act established business conduct standards for
security-based swap (``SBS'') Dealers and Major SBS Participants

(``collectively ``SBS Entities'') in their dealings with
counterparties, including special entities. In 2016, in order to
implement the Dodd-Frank Act, the Commission adopted the BCS Rules for
SBS Dealers and Major SBS Participants,\3\ a comprehensive set of
business conduct standards and chief compliance officer requirements
applicable to SBS Entities, that are designed to enhance transparency,
facilitate informed customer decision-making, and heighten standards of
professional conduct to better protect investors.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Id.
    \4\ Commission staff has prepared separate supporting statements
pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act (``PRA'') regarding Rules
3a71-3(c) and 3a71-6, which address the cross-border application of
the business conduct standards and the availability of substituted
compliance. The Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') has
assigned control number 3235-0717 to Rule 3a71-3(c) and 3235-0715 to
Rule 3a71-6. Rule 3a67-10(d) is a definitional rule and does not
have a PRA burden associated with it. Rules 3a71-3(a), 15Fh-1 and
15Fh-2(b) and (c) address scope of the rules and definitions and so
do not have PRA burdens associated with them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rules 15Fh-1 through 15Fh-6 and 15Fk-1 require SBS Entities to:
     Verify whether a counterparty is an eligible contract
participant and whether it is a special entity;
     Disclose to the counterparty material information about
the SBS, including material risks, characteristics, incentives and
conflicts of interest;
     Provide the counterparty with information concerning the
daily mark of the SBS;
     Provide the counterparty with information regarding the
ability to require clearing of the SBS;
     Communicate with counterparties in a fair and balanced
manner based on principles of fair dealing and good faith;
     Establish a supervisory and compliance infrastructure; and
     Designate a chief compliance officer that is required to
fulfill the described duties and provide an annual compliance report.
    The rules also require SBS Dealers to:
     Determine that recommendations they make regarding SBS are
suitable for their counterparties.
     Establish, maintain and enforce written policies and
procedures reasonably designed to obtain and retain a record of the
essential facts concerning each known counterparty that are necessary
to conduct business with such counterparty; and
     Comply with rules designed to prevent ``pay-to-play.''
    The rules also define what it means to ``act as an advisor'' to a
special entity, and require an SBS Dealer who acts as an advisor to a
special entity to:
     Make a reasonable determination that any security-based
swap or trading strategy involving a security-based swap recommended by
the SBS Dealer is in the best interests of the special entity whose
identity is known at a reasonably sufficient time prior to the
execution of the transaction to permit the SBS Dealer to comply with
this obligation; and
     Make reasonable efforts to obtain such information that
the SBS Dealer considers necessary to make a reasonable determination
that a security-based swap or trading strategy involving a security-
based swap is in the best interests of the known special entity.
    In addition, the rules require SBS Entities acting as
counterparties to special entities to reasonably believe that the
counterparty has an independent representative who meets the following
requirements:
     Has sufficient knowledge to evaluate the transaction and
risks;
     Is not subject to a statutory disqualification;
     Undertakes a duty to act in the best interests of the
special entity;
     Makes appropriate and timely disclosures to the special
entity of material information concerning the security-based swap;
     Evaluates, consistent with any guidelines provided by the
special entity, the fair pricing and the appropriateness of the
security-based swap;
     Is independent of the security-based swap dealer or major
security-based swap participant that is the counterparty to a proposed
security-based swap.
    Under the rules, the special entity's independent representative
must also be subject to pay-to-play regulations, and if the special
entity is an ERISA plan, the independent representative must be an
ERISA fiduciary.

DTCC-TIW data set (November 2006 through December 2020).

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

    The information that must be collected pursuant to the BCS Rules is
intended to increase accountability and transparency in the market. The
information will therefore help establish a framework that protects
investors and promotes efficiency, competition and capital formation.
    Based on a review of recent data, as of 2020, the Commission
estimates the number of respondents to be as follows: 44 SBS Dealers, 0
Major SBS Participants, for a total of 44 ``SBS Entities''.\5\ Further,
we estimate that approximately 41 of these 44 SBS Entities will be
dually registered with the CFTC as Swap Entities. We also estimate that
there are currently 15,187 security-based swap market participants of
which 11,531 are also swap market participants. In 2020, there were
approximately 354,814 security-based swap transactions between an SBS
Dealer and counterparty that is not an SBS Dealer of which 225,924 were
new and 6,841amended trades (totaling 232,765). The Commission
estimates there are 329 independent, third-party representatives and 23
in-house independent representatives.\6\ We estimate that there are
approximately 11,219 unique SBS Dealer and non-SBS-Dealer pairs. We
have used these estimates in calculating the hour and cost burdens for
the rule provisions that we anticipate have a ``collection of
information'' burden within the meaning of the PRA.
    The Commission estimates that the aggregate burden of the ongoing
reporting and disclosures required by the BCS Rules, as described
above, is approximately 486,535 hours and $1,812,800 calculated as
follows:
