SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We received reports of unannunciated asymmetric braking during
landing deceleration on several Honda Aircraft Company LLC Model HA-420
airplanes. Investigation revealed that the power brake valve (PBV)
housing design drawing dimension for a bore diameter, which serves as
an O-ring gland outer diameter, is oversized from Society of Automotive
Engineers (SAE) specification guidelines for O-ring gland dimensions.
The oversized bore allows back-up ring extrusion damage during normal
operating hydraulic pressure in the valve, O-ring deformation/damage,
and internal leakage of hydraulic pressure within the PBV from the
master cylinder brake lines. The damage to the back-up ring and O-ring
worsens during operation and causes the internal leakage rate of the
PBV brake master cylinder lines to increase over time. This condition,
if not addressed, could result in failure of the PBV, which could cause
degraded braking performance and reduced directional control during
ground operations and landing deceleration. We are issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Honda Aircraft Company Temporary Revision TR 01.1,
dated February 16, 2018, to the Honda Aircraft Company HA-420 Airplane
Flight Manual and Service Bulletin SB-420-32-001, dated January 8,
2018. Temporary Revision TR 01.1, dated February 16, 2018, to the HA-
420 Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) describes procedures for performing
pilot checks of the braking system during ground operations before
every flight and before every landing and includes instructions for
corrective actions if any indication of a leaking PBV is found. Service
Bulletin SB-420-32-001, dated January 8, 2018, describes procedures for
replacing a defective PBV with an improved design PBV. This service
information is reasonably available because the interested parties have
access to it through their normal course of business or by the means
identified in the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination

    We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

AD Requirements

    This AD requires inserting a temporary revision into the AFM, which
may be performed by the owner/operator (pilot) holding at least a
private pilot certificate and must be entered into the airplane records
showing compliance with this AD in accordance with 14 CFR 43.9 (a)(1)-
(4) and 14 CFR 91.417(a)(2)(v). The record must be maintained as
required by 14 CFR 91.417, 121.380, or 135.439. This AD also requires
replacing the installed PBV, P/N HJ1-13243-101-005 or P/N HJ1-13243-
101-007, with an improved PBV, P/N HJ1-13243-101-009, if a defective
PBV is detected during the required pilot checks as specified in the
temporary revision. In addition, this AD provides an optional
terminating action for the temporary revision into the AFM by replacing
the installed PBV with the improved PBV, P/N HJ1-13243-101-009.

Interim Action

    We consider this AD interim action. We are currently considering
requiring replacement of the installed PBV, P/N HJ1-13243-101-005 or P/
N HJ1-13243-101-007, with an improved part, which will constitute
terminating action for the temporary revision to the AFM. However, the
planned compliance time for the replacement of the PBV would allow
enough time to provide notice and opportunity for prior comment on the
merit of the replacement.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to
adoption. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public
justifies waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule
because failure of the PBV could cause degraded braking performance and
reduced directional control during ground operations and landing
deceleration. Therefore, we find good cause that notice and opportunity
for prior public comment are impracticable. In addition, for the reason
stated above, we find that good cause exists for making this amendment
effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety and was not preceded by notice and an opportunity for public
comment. However, we invite you to send any written data, views, or
arguments about this final rule. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include the docket number FAA-2018-
0223 and Product Identifier 2018-CE-007-AD at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this final rule. We will
consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this
final rule because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this final rule.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 72 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

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

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements
that would be required based on the results of the pilot check of the
braking system during ground operations before every flight and before
every landing. We have no way of determining the number of airplanes
that might need these replacements:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs''
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to small airplanes, gliders,
balloons, airships, domestic business jet transport airplanes, and
associated appliances to the Director of the Policy and Innovation
Division.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (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),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Delegations to Office of Electric Reliability

Issued October 19, 2007.
AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Department of Energy.

ACTION: Final Rule.

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

SUMMARY: This Final Rule revises the Commission's regulations to
delegate authority to the newly established Office of Electric
Reliability to allow that office to process routine, non-controversial
matters efficiently. The rule also makes conforming changes to account
for changes in office names.

DATES: Effective Date: This rule will become effective October 29,
2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Before Commissioners: Joseph T. Kelliher, Chairman; Suedeen G.
Kelly, Marc Spitzer, Philip D. Moeller, and Jon Wellinghoff.

I. Discussion

    1. On September 20, 2007, the Commission announced the creation of

the Office of Electric Reliability (OER) to focus on the development
and implementation of mandatory and enforceable reliability standards
for the nation's bulk power system. OER was formerly a division of the
Office of Energy Markets and Reliability, which will now be called the
Office of Energy Market Regulation (OEMR). The organizational change
will help implement the Commission's new regulatory authorities under
section 215 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005.\1\ To enable OER to carry
out its functions as efficiently as possible, this Final Rule adds a
new section to the Commission's regulations, 18 CFR 375.314, to
delegate to OER the authority necessary to process routine matters.
These delegations are intended to apply to uncontested, non-
controversial matters. This Final Rule also revises a number of
regulations to update office names.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Pub. L. 109-58, sections 1211, 119 Stat. 594, 941-46 (2005)
(to be codified at 16 U.S.C. 824o).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Information Collection Statement

    2. The Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) regulations require
that OMB approve certain information collection requirements imposed by
agency rule.\2\ This Final Rule does not contain information reporting
requirements and is not subject to OMB approval.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 5 CFR Part 1320.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Environmental Analysis

    3. The Commission is required to prepare an Environmental
Assessment or an Environmental Impact Statement for any action that may
have a significant adverse effect on the quality of the human
environment.\3\ Issuance of this Final Rule does not represent a major
federal action having a significant adverse effect on the quality of
the human environment under the Commission's regulations implementing
the National Environmental Policy Act. Part 380 of the Commission's
regulations lists exemptions to the requirement to draft an
Environmental Analysis or Environmental Impact Statement. Included is
an exemption for procedural, ministerial or internal administrative
actions.\4\ This rulemaking is exempt under that provision.

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

IV. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    4. The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA) \5\ generally
requires a description and analysis of final rules that will have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
This Final Rule concerns matters of internal agency procedure and the
Commission therefore certifies that it will not have such an impact. An
analysis under the RFA is not required.

VI. Effective Date and Congressional Notification

    8. These regulations are effective immediately upon publication in
the Federal Register. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the
Commission finds that good cause exists to make this Final Rule
effective immediately. It concerns only matters of internal operations
and will not affect the rights of persons appearing before the
Commission. There is therefore no reason to make this rule effective at
a later time.
    9. The provisions of 5 U.S.C. 801 regarding Congressional review of
Final Rules do not apply to this Final Rule, because this Final Rule
concerns agency procedure and practice and will not substantially
affect the rights of non-agency parties.
    10. The Commission is issuing this as a Final Rule without a period
for public comment. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b), notice and comment
procedures are unnecessary where a rulemaking concerns only agency
procedure and practice, or where the agency finds that notice and
comment is unnecessary. This rule concerns only matters of internal
agency procedure and will not significantly affect regulated entities
or the general public.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-72674; File No. SR-EDGX-2014-21]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; EDGX Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Retire
the EDGE Routed Liquidity Report

July 25, 2014.
    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 July 18, 2014, EDGX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
``EDGX'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``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\ 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 eliminate reference in Rule 13.9 to the
EDGE Routed Liquidity Report, which is a data product that is to be
discontinued by the Exchange. The Exchange also proposes to delete the
fees related to the EDGE Routed Liquidity Report from its fee schedule.
The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Internet Web site at www.directedge.com, at the Exchange's principal
office, and at the Public Reference Room of the Commission.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to delete reference to the EDGE Routed
Liquidity Report in Rule 13.9 as well as its related fees from the
Exchange's fee schedule. In sum, the EDGE Routed Liquidity Report is a
data feed that contains historical order information for orders routed
to away destinations by the Exchange. The EDGE Routed Liquidity Report
provides routed order information to subscribers on the morning of the
following trading day that includes: Limit price, routed quantity,
symbol, side (bid/offer), time of routing, and the National Best Bid
and Offer at the time of routing. The Exchange now proposes to delete
reference to EDGE Routed Liquidity Report in Rule 13.9 as well as its
related fees from the Exchange's fee schedule because it intends to
discontinue offering this data feed. Therefore, reference to the
product within Exchange's rules and applicable fees in its fee schedule
would no longer serve any legitimate purpose upon the product being
retired by the Exchange. The Exchange has no subscribers to the EDGE
Routed Liquidity Report and will terminate the data feed upon the
operative date of this proposed rule change.

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act,\3\ in general, and Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\4\ in particular, in that is promotes just and
equitable principles of trade, removes impediments to, and perfect the
mechanism of, a free and open market and a national market system, and,
in general, protects investors and the public interest. The Exchange
also believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of
the Act,\5\ in that it provides for the equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees and other charges among members and other persons
using its facilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Specifically, the proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of
the Act,\6\ in that it eliminates any investor confusion by deleting
references to a data product, and its related fees, that is to be
discontinued by the Exchange, thereby removing impediments to and
perfecting the mechanism of a free and open market and a national
market system, and, in general, protecting investors and the public
interest. In addition, the Exchange has no subscribers to the EDGE
Routed Liquidity Report, the EDGE Routed Liquidity Report is not a core
product offering by the Exchange, nor is the Exchange required by the
Act to offer such a product. The proposed rule change will not permit
unfair discrimination among customers, brokers, or dealers because the
EDGE Routed Liquidity Report will no longer be offered by the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    In addition, the Exchange believes that the proposed removal of the
fees for the EDGE Routed Liquidity Report from its fee schedule is
consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \7\ because it would delete
fees for a data product that is to be discontinued by the Exchange,
thereby eliminating investor confusion. Lastly, the Exchange also
believes that the proposed amendment to its fee schedule is reasonable
and non-discriminatory because it will apply uniformly to all members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange believes the proposal is consistent with Section
6(b)(8) of the Act \8\ in that it does not impose any burden on
competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change will remove references to
a data product, and its related fees, that is to be retired by the
Exchange and is not designed to have a competitive impact. Therefore,
the Exchange does not believe the proposed rule change will have any
effect on competition.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 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 neither solicited nor received written comments on
the proposed rule change.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (1)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (2) impose any significant burden on competition; and (3) by
its terms does not become operative for 30 days after the date of this
filing, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate if
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest,
the proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 a self-regulatory organization to provide the Commission
with written notice of its 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 under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally does
not become operative for 30 days after the date of filing. However,
Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) 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. Waiver of the 30-day operative delay would
enable the Exchange to avoid enlisting new subscribers during the
operative delay period only to retire the product shortly thereafter
once the proposed rule change becomes operative. In addition, the
Exchange notes it has no subscribers to the EDGE Routed Liquidity
Report. Based on the foregoing, the Commission believes that waiving
the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest.\11\ The Commission hereby grants the
Exchange's request and designates the proposal operative upon filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 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 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.

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:

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-70134; File No. SR-EDGX-2013-26]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; EDGX Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Relating to
Amendments to the EDGX Exchange, Inc. Fee Schedule

August 8, 2013.
    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 July 30, 2013, EDGX Exchange, Inc. (the ``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 self-regulatory
organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend its fees and rebates applicable to
Members \3\ pursuant to EDGX Rule 15.1(a) and (c) (``Fee Schedule'') to
increase the fee charged from $0.0017 per share to $0.0050 per share
for orders that yield Flag RW, which routes to CBOE Stock Exchange, LLC
(``CBSX'') and adds liquidity. All of the changes described herein are
applicable to EDGA Members. The text of the proposed rule change is
available on the Exchange's Internet Web site at www.directedge.com, at
the Exchange's principal office, and at the Public Reference Room of
the Commission.

in Section 3(a)(3) of the Act.'' EDGX Rule 1.5(n).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend its Fee Schedule to increase the fee
charged from $0.0017 per share to $0.0050 per share for orders that
yield Flag RW, which routes to CBSX and adds liquidity.
    In securities priced at or above $1.00, the Exchange currently
assesses a fee of $0.0017 per share for Members' orders that yield Flag
RW. The Exchange proposes to amend its Fee Schedule to increase this
fee to $0.0050 per share for Members' orders that yield Flag RW. The
proposed change represents a pass through of the rate of $0.0050 that
Direct Edge ECN LLC (d/b/a DE Route) (``DE Route''), the Exchange's
affiliated routing broker-dealer, is charged for routing orders in
select symbols to CBSX when it does not qualify for a volume tiered
discount.\4\ DE Route passes through this rate on CBSX to the Exchange
and the Exchange, in turn, passes through this rate to its Members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Exchange notes that to the extent DE Route does or does
not achieve any volume tiered discount on CBSX, its rate for Flag RW
will not change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange notes that the proposed change is in response to
CBSX's July 2013 fee change where CBSX exempted select symbols out of
its standard fee structure.\5\ Instead, CBSX amended its fee schedule
to assess a fee of $0.0050 per share for maker transactions in such
symbols and a rebate of $0.0045 per share for taker transactions in
such symbols.\6\ The Exchange notes that its internal billing system is
unable to assign different rates by symbols. Therefore, due to internal
system limitations and to protect the Exchange from potentially
significant financial loss for orders routed to CBSX in the select
symbols, it is necessary that the Exchange assess a flat fee of $0.0050
per share for all orders that yield Flag RW. The Exchange further notes
that routing through DE Route is voluntary and that Members would
continue to be able to send orders in symbols that CBSX does not
subject to the $0.0050 per share fee directly to CBSX if they so
choose.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 69916 (July 2, 2013), 78
FR 41158 (July 9, 2013) (SR-CBOE-2013-065). CBSX lists these select
symbols in footnote 6 to its fee schedule. CBSX, CBOE Stock Exchange
Fees Schedule, available at http://www.cboe.com/publish/cbsxfeeschedule/cbsxfeeschedule.pdf (last visited July 23, 2013).
    \6\ CBSX, CBOE Stock Exchange Fees Schedule, available at http://www.cboe.com/publish/cbsxfeeschedule/cbsxfeeschedule.pdf (last
visited July 23, 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Implementation Date
    The Exchange proposes to implement these amendments to its Fee
Schedule on August 1, 2013.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the objectives of Section 6 of the Act,\7\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4),\8\ in particular, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fee Change for Flag RW
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to increase the charge for
Members' orders that yield Flag RW from $0.0017 to $0.0050 per share
represents an equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other
charges

among Members and other persons using its facilities because the
Exchange is passing through the higher add charge levied by CBSX for
orders that the Exchange routes to CBSX through DE Route. Prior to
CBSX's July 2013 fee change, CBSX charged DE Route a fee of $0.0017 per
share for orders yielding Flag RW, which DE Route passed through to the
Exchange and the Exchange passed through to its Members. In July 2013,
CBSX increased the rate it charges its customers, such as DE Route,
from a charge of $0.0017 per share to a charge of $0.0050 per share for
orders in select symbols that are routed to CBSX.\9\ Therefore, the
Exchange believes that the proposed change in Flag RW from a fee of
$0.0017 per share to a fee of $0.0050 per share is equitable and
reasonable because it accounts for the pricing changes on CBSX.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 69916 (July 2, 2013), 78
FR 41158 (July 9, 2013) (SR-CBOE-2013-065).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, the proposal allows the Exchange to continue to charge
its Members a pass-through rate for orders that are routed to CBSX and
add liquidity using DE Route. The Exchange notes that its internal
billing system is unable assign different rates by symbols. Therefore,
due to internal system limitations and to protect the Exchange from
potentially significant financial loss for the select symbols, it is
necessary that the Exchange assess a flat fee of $0.0050 per share for
all orders that yield Flag RW. Further, the Exchange notes that routing
through DE Route is voluntary and that Members would continue to be
able to send orders in symbols that CBSX does not subject to the
$0.0050 per share fee directly to CBSX if they so choose. Lastly, the
Exchange believes that the proposed amendment is non-discriminatory
because it applies uniformly to all Members.

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

    These proposed rule changes do not impose any burden on competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act. The Exchange does not believe that any of these changes
represent a significant departure from previous pricing offered by the
Exchange or pricing offered by any of the Exchange's competitors.
Additionally, Members may opt to disfavor the Exchange's pricing if
they believe that alternatives offer them better value. Accordingly,
the Exchange believes that the proposed changes would not impair the
ability of Members or competing venues to maintain their competitive
standing in the financial markets.
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to pass through a charge of
$0.0050 per share for Members' orders that yield Flag RW would increase
intermarket competition because it offers customers an alternative
means to route to CBSX for the same price as entering orders in select
symbols on CBSX directly. The Exchange notes that routing through DE
Route is voluntary and that Members would continue to be able to send
orders in symbols that CBSX does not subject to the $0.0050 per share
fee directly to CBSX if they so choose. The Exchange believes that its
proposal would not burden intramarket competition because the proposed
rate would apply uniformly to all Members.

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) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) \11\ thereunder. 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.
