Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and
385.214) on or before 5 p.m. Eastern time on the specified comment
date. It is not necessary to separately intervene again in a subdocket
related to a compliance filing if you have previously intervened in the
same docket. Protests will be considered by the Commission in
determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to
make protestants parties to the proceeding. Anyone filing a motion to
intervene or protest must serve a copy of that document on the
Applicant. In reference to filings initiating a new proceeding,
interventions or protests submitted on or before the comment deadline
need not be served on persons other than the Applicant.
    As it relates to any qualifying facility filings, the notices of
self-certification [or self-recertification] listed above, do not
institute a proceeding regarding qualifying facility status. A notice
of self-certification [or self-recertification] simply provides
notification that the entity making the filing has determined the
facility named in the notice meets the applicable criteria to be a
qualifying facility. Intervention and/or protest do not lie in dockets
that are qualifying facility self-certifications or self-
recertifications. Any person seeking to challenge such qualifying
facility status may do so by filing a motion pursuant to 18 CFR
292.207(d)(iii). Intervention and protests may be filed in response to
notices of qualifying facility dockets other than self-certifications
and self-recertifications.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and
interventions in lieu of paper, using the FERC Online links at http://www.ferc.gov. To facilitate electronic service, persons with Internet
access who will eFile a document and/or be listed as a contact for an
intervenor must create and validate an eRegistration account using the
eRegistration link. Select the eFiling link to log on and submit the
intervention or protests.
    Persons unable to file electronically should submit an original and
14 copies of the intervention or protest to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First St., NE., Washington, DC 20426.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-63132; File No. SR-Phlx-2010-118]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Order Approving Proposed Rule
Change by NASDAQ OMX PHLX, Inc. To Expand the $.50 Strike Price Program

October 19, 2010.
    On August 25, 2010, NASDAQ OMX PHLX, Inc. (``Phlx'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ a
proposed rule change to expand the Exchange's $.50 Strike Price Program
(``$0.50 Strike Program'' or ``Program''). The proposed rule change was
published for comment in the Federal Register on September 8, 2010.\4\
There were no comments on the proposed rule change. This order approves
the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C.78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 62799 (August 25,
2010), 75 FR 54662 (``Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to amend Commentary .05 to Exchange Rule
1012, Series of Options Open for Trading,

regarding the $.50 Strike Program to: (i) Expand the permitted price
range of the $.50 Strike Program from $1.00-$3.50 to $0.50-$5.50; (ii)
raise the threshold of the previous day's closing price of the
underlying security from $3.00 to $5.00; and (iii) expand the number of
options classes permitted under the Program from 5 to 20.
    Currently, Commentary .05 to Exchange Rule 1012 permits strike
price intervals of $.50 or greater beginning at $1.00 where the strike
price is $3.50 or less, but only for option classes whose underlying
security closed at or below $3.00 in its primary market on the previous
trading day and which have national average daily volume that equals or
exceeds 1000 contracts per day as determined by The Options Clearing
Corporation during the preceding three calendar months. Further, the
listing of $.50 strike prices is limited to options classes overlying
no more than 5 individual stocks as specifically designated by the
Exchange. The Exchange is currently restricted from listing series with
$1 intervals within $0.50 of an existing strike price in the same
series, except that strike prices of $2, $3, and $4 shall be permitted
within $0.50 of an existing strike price for classes also selected to
participate in both the $0.50 Strike Program and the $1 Strike
Program.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Exchange Rule 1012, Commentary .05(a)(i)(B) referring to
the $1 Strike Program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also proposes a corresponding amendment to Commentary
.05(a)(i)(B) of Exchange Rule 1012 to add $5 to the list of strike
prices permitted within $0.50 of an existing strike price in the same
series for classes selected for both programs.
    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange stated that the
number of $.50 strike options traded on the Exchange has continued to
increase since the inception of the Program. The Exchange stated that
the proposal would expand $.50 strike offerings to market participants
and thereby should enhance their ability to tailor investing and
hedging strategies and opportunities in a volatile marketplace. The
Exchange further stated that it believes an expansion of the $.50
Strike Program would allow investors to better enhance returns and
manage risk by providing them with significantly greater flexibility in
the trading of equity options that overlie lower price stocks by
allowing them to establish equity options positions that are better
tailored to meet their investment, trading and risk. In addition, the
Exchange represented that $0.50 strikes have had no impact on capacity.
    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange.\6\ In
particular, the Commission believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\7\ which requires, among
other things, that the rules of a national securities exchange be
designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove
impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and
a national market system, and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Specifically, the Commission believes that the proposal to expand
the $.50 Strike Program should provide investors with added flexibility
in the trading of equity options and further the public interest by
allowing investors to establish equity options positions that are
better tailored to meet their investment objectives. The Commission
also believes that the proposal strikes a reasonable balance between
the Exchange's desire to accommodate market participants by offering a
wider array of investment opportunities and the need to avoid
unnecessary proliferation of options series and the corresponding
increase in quotes. The Commission expects that the Exchange will
monitor the trading volume associated with the additional options
series listed as a result of this proposal and the effect of these
additional series on market fragmentation and on the capacity of the
Exchange's, OPRA's and vendors' automated systems.
    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\8\ that the proposed rule change (SR-Phlx-2010-118) be, and it
hereby is, approved.

Standards for Business Practices of Interstate Natural Gas
Pipelines

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

ACTION:  Final rule; order on rehearing.

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

SUMMARY: In Order No. 587-W, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission) amended its regulations to incorporate by reference the
latest version (Version 3.0) of seven business practice standards
applicable to interstate natural gas pipelines adopted by the Wholesale
Gas Quadrant of the North American Energy Standards Board. Among other
matters in that order, the Commission revised the information filed in
interstate natural gas pipelines' Index of Customers to reflect the use
of the pipelines' proprietary point codes, and made conforming changes
in other posting regulations. In this order, the Commission grants
rehearing and corrects its regulation regarding the use of point codes
in postings of interruptible transportation.

DATES: Changes to regulatory text will become effective April 22, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Order Granting Rehearing Order No. 587-X

    1. In this order, in response to requests for rehearing by the
Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (INGAA) and Southern Star
Central Gas Pipeline, Inc. (Southern Star), the Commission grants
rehearing of Order No. 587-W, the Commission's Final Rule issued in
this proceeding on October 16, 2015,\1\ and revises section
284.13(b)(2)(iv) of the Commission's regulations regarding the posting
of receipt and delivery points for interruptible transportation.

67302 (Nov. 2, 2015), FERC Stats. & Regs. ] 31,373 (2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Background

    2. In Order No. 587-W, the Commission amended its regulations to
incorporate by reference the latest version (Version 3.0) of seven
business practice standards applicable to interstate natural gas
pipelines adopted by the Wholesale Gas Quadrant (WGQ) of the North
American Energy Standards Board (NAESB). As relevant here, the Version
3.0 standards revised the codes used to identify receipt and delivery
locations in the Index of Customers. Prior to Version 3.0, the postings
required the pipelines to use an industry common code to refer to
individual receipt and delivery points. Version 3.0 revised this
requirement to require the pipelines to use their own proprietary point
codes for receipt and delivery points and to post additional
information about these points on the pipelines' internet Web sites.\2\
Due to the adoption of proprietary point codes, the Commission revised
its regulations at 18 CFR 157.14, 157.18, 260.8, and 284.13 to refer to
the same proprietary

location point names as used in the NAESB WGQ Version 3.0 Standards.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 18 CFR 284.13(f), as added in Order No. 587-W, states:
Location codes. An interstate pipeline must maintain a posting on
its publicly available Internet Web site of the pipeline's location
names and codes for all current and inactive receipt and delivery
points on its system, including, for each point: Direction of flow,
the location of the point, the location zone if such exists, the
Commission company identification code (CID), if any, of the
upstream and/or downstream entity, the location type, the current
status as active and inactive, and the date(s) the point becomes
active or inactive. The pipeline must provide the information in
downloadable file formats, in conformity with the requirements of 18
CFR 284.12 of this chapter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    3. In comments on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR),
Southern Star and INGAA pointed out that the Commission in the NOPR had
failed to make conforming changes to certain regulations, including, as
relevant here, the regulations requiring posting of interruptible
transportation at 18 CFR 284.13(b)(2)(iv). Based on the regulatory text
proposed by Southern Star, the Commission revised this regulation to
require pipelines to post: ``[t]he receipt and delivery points and the
zones or segments covered by the contract, including the location name
and code adopted by the pipeline in conformance with paragraph (f) of
this section for each point, zone or segment.'' (Emphasis added.)
    4. After the issuance of Order No. 587-W, both Southern Star and
INGAA filed separate requests for rehearing, challenging the inclusion
of the phrase ``covered by the contract'' in the regulation. They argue
that the regulatory text adopted for posting of interruptible
transportation promulgated in 18 CFR 284.13(b)(2)(iv) did not correctly
reflect the Commission's determination in Order No. 637-A that the
postings for interruptible transportation should not refer to points
covered by the contract, but rather to the points over which the
shipper is permitted to transport natural gas.\3\ INGAA contends the
Commission rejected that contract-covered language in Order No. 637,
because that language implied that receipt or delivery points should be
those in the pro forma or master contracts, rather than the points in
the subsequent agreement to provide interruptible service.

II. Discussion

    5. We grant rehearing, concluding that the language we adopted in
Order No. 587-W incorrectly includes the ``covered by the contract''
language that does not reflect how pipelines arrange for and schedule
interruptible service. In Order No. 637-A, the Commission recognized
that shippers obtaining interruptible service frequently execute pro
forma master contracts for interruptible service, but do not specify
the price or the receipt and delivery points until nominations are
made. The Commission, therefore, removed the requirement to post the
receipt and delivery points ``covered by the contract'' from the
posting requirements, so that pipelines will post the actual points
used for transporting natural gas:

    This language [covered by the contract] implies that the receipt
or delivery points should be those in the master contract, rather
than the points in the subsequent agreement to provide interruptible
service. Section 284.13(b)(2)(iv) will be revised to require the
posting of the receipt and delivery points over which the shipper is
entitled to transport gas at the rate charged to make clear that the
pipeline should post the receipt and delivery points in each
individual agreement to provide interruptible service, not simply
the receipt and delivery points in the master contract.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Order No. 637-A, FERC Stats. & Regs. ] 31,099 at 31,619-20.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    6. Accordingly, we will grant rehearing and revise the regulatory
text to require pipelines to post the receipt and delivery points
between which the shipper is entitled to transport gas at the rate
charged, including the location name and code adopted by the pipeline
in conformance with paragraph (f) of the section for each point, zone,
or segment.
    7. The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) provides that an agency may
not conduct or sponsor the collection of information unless the agency
has published an estimate of the burden that shall result from the
information collection in advance of adopting or revising such
collection. Agency rules that require information collection are
subject to review and approval by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB), in accordance with the requirements of the PRA. The reporting
requirements imposed in Order No. 587-W (Docket No. RM96-1-038) were
submitted to and approved (on December 9, 2015) by OMB.\5\ The
revisions made in this Order merely clarify those reporting
requirements and are not expected to modify the burden estimates. This
Order will be submitted to OMB for information only.

covered under OMB Control No. 1902-0154, and FERC-549C (Standards
for Business Practices of Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines) is
