Amendment 39-22121; AD 2022-15-02]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Cameron Balloons Ltd. Burner Assemblies

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Cameron Balloons Ltd. (Cameron) Stratus double burner
assemblies installed on hot air balloons. This AD was prompted by
reports from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and
correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI identifies
the unsafe condition as fatigue cracking of the weld on Stratus double
burner hangers. This AD requires repetitively inspecting certain
Stratus double burner hangers and replacing certain Stratus double
burners, and prohibits installing certain parts. The FAA is issuing
this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective August 25, 2022.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of August 25,
2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to Cameron Stratus double
burner assembly part number (P/N) CB8720 and P/N CB8721 installed on
hot air balloons. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on May 5,
2022 (87 FR 26699). The NPRM was based on MCAI from the European Union
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the
Member States of the European Union. EASA issued AD 2021-0042, dated
January 29, 2021 (referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to address
the unsafe condition on all hot air balloons. The MCAI states:

    An occurrence was been reported of a Stratus burner hanger,
[part number] P/N CB8504, failing after landing, leaving one burner
unit detached from the load frame. Investigation revealed a limited
number of similar failures. Comparable issues have been experienced
with other parts of the Stratus product line (see Australian [Civil
Aviation Safety Authority] CASA AWB 14-001 [Airworthiness Bulletin
AWB 14-001, Issue 3, dated February 5, 2021]). The suspected cause
is fatigue cracking of the weld, caused mainly during ground
transportation with the burner erect, combined with an overload
event.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to
burner falling on the balloon occupant's head, resulting in injury
to balloon occupants. It could also lead to an uncontrolled cold
descent and hard landing, possibly resulting in injury to balloon
occupants and persons on the ground.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Cameron Balloons
issued the SB [Service Bulletin 28, Revision 3, dated February 3,
2021], providing inspection and replacement instructions. It was
determined that some burner hangers cannot be inspected as they are
covered with a doubler plate to reinforce the central part of the
hanger bracket.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires
repetitive detailed inspections (DET) of the affected parts A and,
depending on findings, replacement with a serviceable part. This
[EASA] AD also requires direct replacement of the burner hanger
installed on affected parts B.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at https://www.regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA-2022-0469.
    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require repetitively inspecting
certain Stratus double burner hangers and replacing certain other
Stratus double burners. The FAA also proposed to prohibit installing
certain parts. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent burners from
separating from the balloon. The unsafe condition, if not addressed,
could result in an uncontrolled cold descent and hard landing of the
balloon.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the costs.

Conclusion

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined
that air safety requires adopting this AD as proposed. Accordingly, the
FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products. This AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Cameron Balloons Service Bulletin 28, Revision 3,
dated February 3, 2021. The service information specifies identifying
the Stratus double burner hanger, inspecting it in accordance with
Cameron Balloons SB28: Accomplishment Instructions, Stratus Double
Burner; Mounting Hanger Inspection, CBL/TN/DCB/3191, Issue B, dated
February 4, 2020 (CBL/TN/DCB/3191 Issue B), and replacing it if there
are any cracks.

    The FAA also reviewed CBL/TN/DCB/3191 Issue B, which contains
procedures for identifying and inspecting affected Stratus double
burner hangers.
    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.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI

    The MCAI requires reporting information to Cameron Balloons, and
this AD does not.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 220 burner assemblies that
have been produced worldwide. The FAA has no way of knowing how many of
these burner assemblies are installed on hot air balloons of U.S.
Registry. Therefore, for the purposes of this AD, the FAA is basing the
fleet cost estimate on the maximum number of 220 burner assemblies.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                                     Estimated Costs

                                      hour = $85.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA estimates the following costs to replace a cracked burner
hanger or a burner that has a doubler plate. The FAA has no way of
determining the number of hot air balloons that would need this action.

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.
    The FAA is 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.

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 this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or

Voluntary Licensing of Amateur Rocket Operations; Withdrawal

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct Final rule, withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is withdrawing a previously published direct final
rule that would have allowed launch operators that conduct certain
amateur rocket launches to voluntarily apply for a commercial space
transportation license or experimental permit. The FAA is withdrawing
this action because of the adverse comments it received.

DATES: The direct final rule published on August 22, 2012, at 77 FR
50584 is withdrawn, effective November 8, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For technical questions concerning
this action, contact Shirley McBride, Senior Transportation Industry
Analyst, Office of Commercial Space Transportation, Regulations and

7971; email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 22, 2012, the FAA published a direct final rule that
would have amended the scope of its chapter III regulations to give
operators of Class 3 advanced high-power rockets the option of applying
for a chapter III launch license or permit, or continuing to operate
under 14 CFR chapter I, part 101. The direct final rule would have been
strictly voluntary. Only those operators that wished to apply under
chapter III for a license needed to do so. However, once an operator
accepted an FAA license or permit, part 101 would no longer have
applied, and the operator would have been governed by the provisions of
chapter III for those rockets.
    The Commercial Space Launch Act provides that the United States
should encourage private sector launches, reentries, and associated
services. The FAA initiated the direct final rule primarily to support
those launch operators that, under contract with NASA, were required by
NASA to obtain an FAA launch license. Because the rule was strictly
voluntary, the FAA believed there was good cause to issue it as a
direct final rule.

Reason for Withdrawal

    The FAA is withdrawing the direct final rule because the agency
received several adverse comments. In brief, the commenters raised
issues concerning the potential cost to small businesses and the
government, both in terms of the resources necessary for preparing and
evaluating applications and in terms of the conditional payment of
excess claims commonly referred to as ``indemnification.'' Others
expressed doubts about whether amateur rockets could ever meet chapter
III requirements, whether applying those requirements to smaller
vehicles made sense or was necessary, and whether safety issues were
created.

Conclusion

    Withdrawal of Amendment No. 400-4 does not preclude the FAA from a
rulemaking on the subject in the future or committing the agency to any
future course of action.
    The FAA withdraws Amendment No. 400-4 published at 77 FR 50584 on
August 22, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it modifies the route structure as necessary to preserve
the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the NAS.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for Docket
No. FAA-2022-1260 in the Federal Register (87 FR 65546; October 31,
2022), establishing RNAV route T-465 in support of FAA efforts to
transition the NAS from a ground-based to a satellite-based Performance
Based Navigation (PBN) system. Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on
the proposal. Two positive comments were received supporting the
establishment of T-465, acknowledging the enhanced safety related
benefits provided to pilots and air traffic controllers alike by
transitioning the NAS to a satellite-based navigation system.
    United States Area Navigation Routes are published in paragraph
6011 of FAA Order JO 7400.11G, dated August 19, 2022, and effective
September 15, 2022, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.
The RNAV route action listed in this document will be published
subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11.

Differences From the NPRM

    Subsequent to the NPRM, the FAA recognized the NPRM was published
using Docket No. FAA-2202-1260, in error. The correct Docket No. is
FAA-2022-1260. This rule corrects the Docket No. typographical error
and changes the Docket No. for this action from ``FAA-2202-1260'' to
``FAA-2022-1260''.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order JO 7400.11G, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September
15, 2022. FAA Order JO 7400.11G is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11G lists Class
A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by establishing RNAV route T-465
between the Des Moines, IA, area and the Minneapolis, MN, terminal
area. The new RNAV route is described below.
    T-465: T-465 is a new RNAV route that extends between the Des
Moines, IA (DSM), VHF Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation
(VORTAC) navigational aid (NAVAID) and the NITZR, MN, waypoint (WP)
located near Morristown, MN. This T-route provides enroute routing

V-161 between the Des Moines VORTAC and the Mason City, IA, VOR/
Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) NAVAIDs; and enroute routing
adjacent to VOR Federal airways V-13 and V-505 between the Mason City,
IA, VOR/DME NAVAID and the NITZR WP.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
Department of Transportation (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, will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action of establishing RNAV route
T-465 between the Des Moines, IA, VORTAC and the NITZR, MN, WP
qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental
Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and its implementing regulations at
40 CFR part 1500, and in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F,
Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5-6.5a, which
categorically excludes from further environmental impact review
rulemaking actions that designate or modify classes of airspace areas,
airways, routes, and reporting points (see 14 CFR part 71, Designation
of Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas; Air Traffic Service Routes;
and Reporting Points); and, 5-6.5b, which categorically excludes from
further environmental impact review actions regarding establishment of
jet routes and Federal airways (see 14 CFR 71.15, Designation of jet
routes and VOR Federal airways); operation of civil aircraft in a
defense area, or to, within, or out of the United States through a
designated Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) (14 CFR part 99,
Security Control of Air Traffic); authorizations for operation of
moored balloons, moored kites, amateur rockets, and unmanned free
balloons (see 14 CFR part 101, Moored Balloons, Kites, Amateur Rockets
and Unmanned Free Balloons); and, authorizations of parachute jumping
and inspection of parachute equipment (see 14 CFR part 105, Parachute
Operations). As such, this action is not expected to result in any
potentially significant environmental impacts. In accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding Extraordinary Circumstances, the
FAA has reviewed this action for factors and circumstances in which a
normally categorically excluded action may have a significant
environmental impact requiring further analysis. The FAA has determined
that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of
an environmental assessment or environmental impact study.

MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT: 	Sheridan Motor Vehicle Regional Emissions Analysis

FROM:	James Hou
		Environmental Engineer

TO: 		File

According to the Limited Maintenance Plan (LMP) Option for Moderate PM10 Nonattainment Areas (NAA) memo, in order to qualify for the LMP option, "The final criterion is related to mobile source emissions. The area should expect only limited growth in on-road motor vehicle PM10 emissions (including fugitive dust) and should have passed a motor vehicle regional emissions analysis test. It is important to consider the impact of future transportation growth in the LMP, since the level of PM-10 emissions (especially from fugitive dust) is related to the level of growth in vehicle miles traveled (VMT).

The following methodology can be found in Attachment B of the LMP Option memo, and is used to determine whether increased emissions from on-road mobile sources could, in the next 10 years, increase concentrations in the area and threaten the assumption of maintenance that underlies the LMP policy.

The equation set forth is:
                         DV + (VMTpi * DVmv) < MOS
Where:
      DV = design value in μg/m3
      VMTpi = projected increase in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) over the next 10 years
      DVmv = product of the design value and the fraction of the inventory represented by on-road mobile sources in the attainment year; and
      MOS = margin of safety for the relevant PM10 standard for a given area: 40 μg/m3 for the
      annual standard or 98 μg/m3 for the 24-hour standard.

Utilizing a DV of 68; a projected 1% VMT increase; and a 0.3828 fraction of the inventory represented by on-road mobile sources in the attainment year the results are as follows:

                       68+ (0.01 * (68)(0.3828)) <= 98
                              OR, as calculated:
                                 68.26 <= 98

Based on the above methodology, as outlined in the LMP option memo, the projected 1% VMT increase does not indicate that increased emissions from on-road mobile source could, in the next 10 years, increase concentrations in the area and threaten the assumption of maintenance.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-82032; File No. SR-Phlx-2017-84]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Nasdaq PHLX LLC; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Relating to the
Access and Redistribution Fee

November 8, 2017.
    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 October 26, 2017, Nasdaq PHLX LLC (``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III, below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend and conform Sections VIII and XIII
of the Exchange's Pricing Schedule, to define key terms; to clarify the
rule language; to clarify its application to Extranet Providers,
Members, and Non-members in various contexts; and to make conforming
changes to the Pricing Schedule's Table of Contents.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://nasdaqphlx.cchwallstreet.com/ 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 Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The proposed rule change concerns Section VIII of the Exchange's
Pricing Schedule (the ``Equities Rule'') and Section XIII of the
Exchange's Pricing Schedule (collectively, the ``Rules''), currently
entitled ``Extranet Access Fee.'' The Exchange first imposed an
Extranet Access Fee in January of 2015.\3\ Today, technology and the
ecosystem have changed such that the Rules need updating and
clarification. Therefore, the Exchange is proposing several parallel
changes to the Rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 74022 (Jan. 9,
2015); 80 FR 2157 (Jan. 15, 2015) (SR-Phlx-2015-04).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    First, the Exchange is proposing to rename both Rules and to
clarify their meaning through the use of defined terms. The Exchange is
adding definitions of the terms Equipment Configuration, and Extranet
Provider to new subsection (a) of the Rules. The Exchange is also
cross-referencing the definition of Distributors currently set forth in
Section IX of the Exchange's Pricing Schedule.

    The term ``Equipment Configuration'' will be defined to mean ``any
line, circuit, router package, or other technical configuration used to
provide a connection to the Exchange market data feeds.'' The term
Equipment Configuration replaces the term ``Customer Premises Equipment
Configuration'' set forth in the current rules. The Exchange believes
that the term ``Customer Premises Equipment Configuration'' is
ambiguous and creates confusion about the ownership and location of
equipment through which direct access to market data feeds is provided.
By referring instead to ``Equipment Configuration,'' the Exchange
intends to specify that the ownership and location of the equipment is
inconsequential to the application of access and redistribution fees.
Rather, it is the number of configurations that matters, determining
the number of monthly access and redistribution fees to be assessed.
    For example, if an Extranet Provider supplies market data to five
recipients via five configurations, two of which are located in a
single Exchange facility (such as Carteret, New Jersey) and three of
which are located at different customer facilities, the Extranet
Provider will be assessed access and redistribution fees of $5,000 per
month. If an Extranet Provider supplies market data to one customer at
two separate locations via two configurations--one within a Exchange
facility and one located elsewhere--the Extranet Provider will be
assessed access and redistribution fees of $2,000 per month. If an
Extranet Provider supplies market data to four customers via four
configurations all located within an Exchange co-location facility, the
Extranet Provider will be assessed $4,000 per month in access and
redistribution fees. The Exchange is proposing to define the term
``Extranet Provider'' as ``any entity that has signed the Exchange
Extranet Connection Agreement and that establishes a telecommunications
connection in the Exchange's co-location facility.'' The Exchange
requires entities to sign the Exchange Extranet Connection Agreement
\4\ for the purpose of setting the terms and conditions for those
entities to place equipment in the Exchange's co-location facility in
order to establish a telecommunications connection directly to the
Exchange and to provide its own customers with access to the Exchange
market data feeds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Available at http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/Content/AdministrationSupport/AgreementsData/NASDAQOMXExtranetAgreement.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, in order to further enhance the clarity of the Exchange's
rules, the Exchange is proposing to cross-reference the definition of
``Distributor'' for purposes of this rule. Section IX of the Exchange's
Pricing Schedule currently defines Distributor as:

    [A]ny entity that receives a feed or data file of NASDAQ PHLX
data directly from NASDAQ PHLX or indirectly through another entity
and then distributes it either internally (within that entity) or
externally (outside that entity). All distributors shall execute a
NASDAQ PHLX distributor agreement.

    The Exchange is proposing to renumber and rearrange the existing
rule text of the Rules. The first two sentences of existing rule text
will become new subsection (b). The Exchange also proposes to improve
the clarity of subsection (b) by using the new definitions outlined
above and by specifying that the monthly fees referred to are the
monthly access and redistribution fees. As described earlier, the third
sentence of existing rule text is being modified and moved to paragraph
(1) of new subsection (a) as the improved definition of ``Equipment
Configuration.'' The fourth and fifth sentences of existing rule text
will move to new subsection (d) with modest textual improvements but no
change in application of fees. The sixth sentence of existing rule text
will move to the final sentences of subsections (b) and (c) with minor
textual enhancements to apply it with equal effect to Extranet
Providers and Distributors.
    The Exchange also proposes to add new subsection (c) to specify and
codify that similarly situated Distributors and Extranet Providers will
pay similar fees. Under subsection (b), Extranet Providers are assessed
a monthly fee of $1,000 for each Equipment Configuration that offers
Exchange market data feeds. Similarly, under proposed subsection (c),
the same $1,000 monthly fee applies to Distributors to whom the same
Exchange market data feeds are published via a Direct Circuit
Connection to the Exchange. The Exchange believes that, as defined,
Extranet Providers and Distributors are similarly situated because both
entities connect directly to the Exchange, and both provide Exchange
market data feeds to their customers via those connections.\5\
Likewise, the customers of Extranet Providers and Distributors are
similarly situated in that they receive the same Exchange market data
feeds through similar means.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Proposed Subsection (c) of Chapters VIII and XIII apply only
to Distributors that connect to the Exchange via a Direct Circuit
Connection pursuant to Section XI of the Pricing Schedule. They do
not apply to Distributors that are co-located with the Exchange
pursuant to Section X of the Pricing Schedule and that connect to
the Exchange as specified under that Rule. Nor do they apply to
entities that connect to Nasdaq [sic] remotely via Point of Presence
Connectivity under Nasdaq Rule 7051(c) as set forth in SR-NASDAQ-
2017-97.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For example, a Distributor with two Direct Circuit Connections to
the Exchange, both of which emanate from a single Exchange co-location
facility (such as Carteret, New Jersey) and both of which receive
Exchange market data feeds, will be assessed access and redistribution
fees of $2,000 per month. A Distributor with two Direct Circuit
Connections to the Exchange that emanate from two separate locations
and that receives Exchange market data feeds over each connection will
be assessed access and redistribution fees of $2,000 per month. A
Distributor with two Direct Circuit Connections to the Exchange that
emanate from two separate locations and that receives Exchange market
data feeds over only one of the connections will be assessed access and
redistribution fees of $1,000 per month.
    The Exchange previously assessed and currently assesses this fee in
its capacity as operator of Nasdaq Technology Services, which had been
considered an Extranet Provider.\6\ The Exchange believes that defining
Extranet Providers and codifying the fee to Distributors (other than
Extranet Providers) is clearer to market participants. The Exchange
also understands that Distributors, like Extranet Providers, commonly
pass the fee on to their customers and therefore specifying that
Distributors employing a Direct Circuit Connection also pay the fee
will ensure consistent treatment between users enjoying the same
benefits via Extranet Providers on the one hand and Distributors on the
other, as described above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See SR-Phlx-2015-04 at footnote 16.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, the Exchange proposes to amend the Pricing Schedule's
Table of Contents to make conforming changes to Section XIII's title.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that this proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\7\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Sections
6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,\8\ in particular, in that it provides
for an equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges
among members and issuers and other persons using its facility, and to
specify

that the fees are not designed to permit unfair discrimination between
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the application of identical Access and
Redistribution fees to Distributors and Extranet Providers as described
in the proposed rule change is fair and equitable and non-
discriminatory. As stated above, Distributors and Extranet Providers
both connect to the Exchange directly for the purpose of re-
distributing Exchange market data feeds to their own customers and both
enjoy similar benefits in doing so. Likewise, those customers, whether
receiving Exchange market data feeds via a Distributor or an Extranet
Provider receive that market data feeds in a similar fashion and with
similar benefits. Those benefits are considerable: secure, rapid,
reliable access to the highest quality market data feeds on the trading
of equities and options on the Exchange.
    The Commission and the courts have repeatedly expressed their
preference for competition over regulatory intervention in determining
prices, products, and services in the securities markets. In regulation
NMS, while adopting a series of steps to improve the current market
model, the Commission highlighted the importance of market forces in
determining prices and SRO revenues and, also, recognized that current
regulation of the market system ``has been remarkably successful in
promoting market competition in its broader forms that are most
important to investors and listed companies.'' \9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 51808 (June 9, 2005), 70
FR 37496, 37499 (June 29, 2005) (``Regulation NMS Adopting
Release'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes it is fair and equitable and not
discriminatory to apply equal access and redistribution fees to
Distributors, as it does to Extranet Providers. As stated above,
Distributors and Extranet Providers are similarly situated in that they
receive Exchange market data feeds directly from the Exchange and they
redistribute that data to their own customers. Likewise, the Exchange
believes that the customers of Extranet Providers and of Distributors
are similarly situated in the manner in which they receive Exchange
market data feeds.
    The Exchange believes that it is consistent with an equitable
allocation of reasonable dues and fees and not unfairly discriminatory
to charge the fees proposed under subsection (c) of Chapters VIII and
XIII of the PHLX Pricing Schedule to Extranet Providers and
Distributors that are not co-located, but not to charge those same fees
to Distributors that are co-located. First, Distributors that are co-
located already pay fees set forth in Section X of the Pricing Schedule
which include connectivity and access to data. Second, if a co-located
Distributor were to send data feeds out of the co-location facility,
the feeds would be processed and normalized by the Distributor, as
opposed to by the Exchange; in that case, the Distributor would not be
using the proximity for which Extranets and Direct Circuit Connection
Distributors are being assessed fees under subsection (c) of Chapters
VIII and XIII of the PHLX Pricing Schedule.
    The Exchange is proposing to enhance the clarity of the language of
the Rules to ensure that customers understand the proper application of
the Rules as technology has changed and continues to change. The
Exchange believes that customers support the continued evolution of its
rules, and that regulators do and should support and facilitate this
evolution.

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

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change will not impose
any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act. To the contrary, the Exchange believes that
applying equal fees to similarly situated Extranet Providers and
Distributors, enhancing the clarity of the Rules, and eliminating
ambiguity imposes no burden on competition and is, in fact, pro-
competitive. Extranet Providers and Distributors benefit from having a
more accurate and complete understanding of the Exchange's services and
fees when determining which if any of those competing services to
purchase voluntarily.
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change places no
burden on competition because it specifies that identical fees will
apply to all similarly situated Distributors and Extranet Providers
that provide Exchange market data feeds to their own customers. As
described above, such Distributors and Extranet Providers offer the
same Exchange market data feeds in the same manner to similarly
situated customers. The Exchange offers similar benefits to
Distributors and Extranet Providers by offering them such access to
Exchange market data feeds.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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: (i)
Necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the
protection of investors; or (iii) 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.
