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

    The Exchange filed a proposal to amend the fee schedule applicable
to Members \5\ and non-Members of the Exchange pursuant to EDGA Rules
15.1(a) and (c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The term ``Member'' is defined as ``any registered broker or
dealer that has been admitted to membership in the Exchange.'' See
Exchange Rule 1.5(n).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
Web site at www.bats.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 parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend its fee schedule to: (i) Outline the
fees for MidPoint Discretionary Orders (``MDO'') \6\ by adopting new
fee codes DA and DR as well as amending the descriptions of fee codes
DM and DT; and (ii) amend the RMPT/RMPL Tiers under footnote 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Exchange Rule 11.8(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fees for MidPoint Discretionary Orders
    In sum, an MDO is a limit order to buy that is displayed at and
pegged to the National Best Bid (``NBB''), with discretion to execute
at prices up to and including the midpoint of the National Best Bid and
Offer (``NBBO''), or a limit order to sell that is displayed at and
pegged to the National Best Offer (``NBO''), with discretion to execute
at prices down to and including the midpoint of the NBBO.\7\ MDOs are
designed to exercise discretion to execute to the midpoint of the NBBO
and provide price improvement over the NBBO. Currently, an MDO is
displayed on the EDGA Book \8\ at the NBB or NBO to which it is pegged.
Starting on September 15, 2017, the Exchange will permit Users \9\ to
elect that their MDO be non-displayed on the EDGA Book at the NBB or
NBO to which it is pegged.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Exchange Rule 11.8(e) for a complete description of the
operation of MDOs.
    \8\ See Exchange Rule 1.5(d).
    \9\ See Exchange Rule 1.5(ee).
    \10\ See Update: Bats EDGA Exchange Announces Availability of
Non-Displayed Midpoint Discretionary Orders (Non-Displayed MDO)
Effective September 15, 2017, available at http://cdn.batstrading.com/resources/release_notes/2017/Update-Bats-EDGA-Exchange-Announces-Hidden-Midpoint-Discretionary-Order-Hidden-MDO-Functionality-Available-Effective-September-15-2017.pdf. See also
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 81454 (August 22, 2017), 82 FR
40823 (August 28, 2017) (SR-BatsEDGA-2017-21) (Notice of Filing and
Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To Amend Rule
11.8, Order Types, To Permit Midpoint Discretionary Orders To Be
Non- Displayed).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Today, an MDO is subject to the standard rates for adding or
removing liquidity when executed at the NBB or NBO to which it is
pegged. The standard rate for adding or removing liquidity in
securities priced at or above $1.00 is $0.0003 per share and free for
securities priced below $1.00.\11\ MDOs that are executed within their
discretionary range are free in securities priced at, above, or below
$1.00. MDOs that are executed within their discretionary range yield
fee code DM where they add liquidity and fee code DT where they remove
liquidity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See the Standard Rates table of the Exchange's fee schedule
available at http://www.bats.com/us/equities/membership/fee_schedule/edga/.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange now proposes to adopt new fee codes DA and DR as well
as amend the descriptions of fee codes DM and DT in order to outline
the fees for MDOs. Today, a non-displayed order that adds liquidity
yields fee code HA and is free for securities priced at, above, or
below $1.00. A non-displayed order that removes liquidity yields fee
code HR and is charged a fee of $0.0005 per share in securities priced
at or above $1.00 and 0.05% of the transaction's dollar value in
securities priced below $1.00. Absent this proposed rule change,
beginning on September 15, 2017, an MDO that is non-displayed on the
EDGA Book would yield fee codes HA or HR when executed at its pegged
price.
    The Exchange now proposed to adopt new fee codes DA and DR that
would apply to all MDO that are executed at their pegged price,
regardless of whether they are displayed or not. Fee code DA would be
appended to all MDOs that add liquidity not within their discretionary
range (i.e., executed at their pegged price) and fee code DR would be
appended to all MDOs that remove liquidity not within their
discretionary range. MDOs that yield fee code DA or DR would be charged
a rate of $0.0003 per share for orders priced at or above $1.00 and no
fee for orders priced below $1.00. This results in no rate change for
displayed MDOs and a fee decrease from $0.0005 per share to $0.003 per
share for non-displayed MDOs when both are executed at their pegged
price [sic].
    The Exchange also proposes to amend the descriptions of fee codes
DM and DT to clarify that those fee codes apply when an MDO is executed
within its discretionary range. The description of fee code DM
currently states that it applies to a non-displayed order that adds
liquidity using an MDO. Likewise, the description of fee code DT states
that it applies to a non-displayed order that removes liquidity using
an MDO. These descriptions were designed to include an MDO executed at
a non-displayed price within its discretionary range and not at its
displayed pegged price. In light of the proposed fee codes DA and DR
that set forth fees for MDOs executed at their pegged price, the
Exchange proposed to amend the descriptions of fee codes DM and DT to
make clear they apply to MDOs executed within their discretionary
range. As such, the description of fee code DM would be amended to
state that it applies when an MDO adds liquidity within its
discretionary range and the description of fee code DT would be amended
to state that it applies when an MDO removes liquidity within its
discretionary range. The Exchange does not propose to amend the rates
applicable to fee codes DM and DT.
RMPT/RMPL Tiers
    The Exchange offers two tiers under footnote 1, the RMPT/RMPL Tiers
under which a Member receives a discounted fee of either $0.0006 or
$0.0008 per share for orders yielding fee code PX \12\ where that
Member meets certain required criteria. Fee code PX is append to orders
that are routed using the RMPL routing strategy to a destination not
covered by fee code PL,\13\ or are routed using the RMPT routing
strategy, and are assessed a fee of $0.0012 per share on securities
priced over $1.00, and a fee of 30% of the total dollar value on
securities priced below $1.00. Under Tier 1, a Members is charged a
discounted fee of $0.0008 per share for orders yielding fee code PX
where they add or remove an ADV \14\ greater than or equal to 2,000,000
shares using the RMPT or RMPL\15\ routing strategies. Under Tier 2, a
Member is charged a discounted fee of $0.0006 per share for orders
yielding fee code PX where that Member adds or removes an ADV greater
than or equal to 4,000,000 shares using the RMPT or RMPL routing
strategies. The Exchange now proposes to delete Tier 1 and to increase
the fee charged under Tier 2 from $0.0006 to $0.0008 per share. The
Exchange also proposes to rename Tier 2 as Tier 1. The Exchange does
not propose to amend

the remaining tier's required criteria. Lastly, the Exchange proposes
to make ministerial changes to the introduction to the RMPT/RMPL Tiers
and the heading of the second column to make clear the discounted rate
only applies to routed orders and not orders that remove liquidity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See the Exchange's fee schedule available at http://www.bats.com/us/equities/membership/fee_schedule/edga/.
    \13\ Fee code PL is appended to orders that are routed to Bats
BZX Exchange, Inc., Bats EDGX Exchange, Inc., the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc., NYSE Arca, Inc. or the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC using
the RMPL routing strategy and are assessed a fee of $0.0030 per
share on securities priced over $1.00, and 30% of the transaction's
dollar value for securities priced below $1.00. Id.
    \14\ ADV is generally defined as average daily volume calculated
as the number of shares added to, removed from, or routed by, the
Exchange, or any combination or subset thereof, per day. Id.
    \15\ The RMPT routing strategy operates similarly to RMPL in
that under both Mid-Point Peg Orders check the System for available
shares and any remaining shares are then sent to destinations on the
System routing table that support midpoint eligible orders. If any
shares remain unexecuted after routing, they are posted on the EDGA
Book as a Mid-Point Peg Order, unless otherwise instructed by the
User. While RMPL and RMPT operate in an identical manner, the
trading venues that each routing strategy routes to and the order in
which it routes them differ. See Exchange Rule 11.11(g)(13).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Implementation Date
    The Exchange proposes to implement these changes to its fee
schedule on September 1, 2017. The remaining changes to its fee
schedule applicable to non-displayed MDOs will be applicable until
September 15, 2017 when that functionality becomes available.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the objectives of Section 6 of the Act,\16\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4),\17\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \17\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fees for MidPoint Discretionary Orders
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to outline the fees for
MDOs represents an equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and
other charges among Members and other persons using its facilities in
that they are designed to clearly delineate the rates applicable when
an MDO is executed at its pegged price or within its discretionary
range, in light of upcoming functionality that would enable a User to
elect that their MDO not be displayed on the EDGA Book. As noted above,
proposed new fee codes DA and DR result in no rate change for displayed
MDOs and a fee decrease from $0.0005 per share to $0.003 per share for
non-displayed MDOs when both are executed at their pegged price [sic].
The Exchange believes it is equitable and reasonable to charge a lower
fee to MDOs than other non-displayed orders here as MDOs add liquidity
at the NBBO while offering price improvement opportunities to incoming
contra-side orders that execute within its discretionary range. The
amendments to the descriptions of fee codes DM and DT are also
equitable and reasonable in that they clarify the application of those
fee codes, thereby avoiding potential investor confusion. Lastly, the
Exchange also believes that the proposed amendments are non-
discriminatory because they apply uniformly to all Members.
RMPT/RMPL Tiers
    The Exchange believe that the amendments to the RMPL/RMPT Tiers are
also reasonable and equitable because it is designed to attract
additional midpoint liquidity to the Exchange by removing a tier with
lower ADV requirement, resulting in increased price improvement
opportunities for orders seeking an execution at the midpoint of the
NBBO on the Exchange or elsewhere. In addition, increasing the rate for
the remaining tier is designed to cover the Exchange's routing costs
while continuing to provide the Exchange revenue to be used to fund the
Exchange generally. This includes the cost of maintaining and improving
the technology used to handle and route orders from the Exchange as
well as programs that the Exchange believes help to attract additional
liquidity and thus improve the depth of liquidity available on the
Exchange. The Exchange notes that routing through the Exchange is
voluntary. The Exchange also believes that the proposed amendments are
non-discriminatory because it applies uniformly to all Members.
    In addition, volume-based rebates such as that proposed herein have
been widely adopted by exchanges and are equitable because they are
open to all Members on an equal basis and provide additional benefits
or discounts that are reasonably related to: (i) The value to an
exchange's market quality; (ii) associated higher levels of market
activity, such as higher levels of liquidity provision and/or growth
patterns; and (iii) the introduction of higher volumes of orders into
the price and volume discovery processes. The Exchange believes that
the proposed tier is a reasonable, fair and equitable, and not an
unfairly discriminatory allocation of fees and rebates, because it will
provide Members with an additional incentive to reach certain
thresholds on the Exchange.

(B) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    This proposed rule change does 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 this change represents a
significant departure from previous pricing offered by the Exchange or
from pricing offered by the Exchange's competitors. The proposed rates
would apply uniformly to all Members, and Members may opt to disfavor
the Exchange's pricing if they believe that alternatives offer them
better value. Accordingly, the Exchange does not believe that the
proposed changes will impair the ability of Members or competing venues
to maintain their competitive standing in the financial markets.
Further, excessive fees would serve to impair an exchange's ability to
compete for order flow and members rather than burdening competition.
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 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 \18\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder.\19\ 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.

    On January 3, 2011, Northland Power Mississippi River LLC filed an
application, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act,
proposing to study the feasibility of hydropower on the Mississippi
River, near the town of St. Gabriel, in West Baton Rouge, East Baton
Rouge, and Iberville Parishes, Louisiana. The sole purpose of a
preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority
to file a license application during the permit term. A preliminary
permit does not authorize the permit holder to perform any land-
disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by
others without the owners' express permission.
    The proposed NPI 025 hydrokinetic project would consist of the
following: (1) Up to 140 TREK generating units installed in a matrix on
the bottom of the river; (2) the total capacity of the installation
would be up to 35,000 kilowatts; (3) shielded underwater cables would
convey each matrix power to a substation; and (4) a transmission line
would interconnect with the power grid. The proposed project would have
an average annual generation of 307 gigawatt-hours (GWh), which would
be sold to a local utility.

owners' express permission.
    The proposed project would consist of: (1) A 120-foot-high
compacted rock fill embankment surrounding; (2) a 208-acre upper
reservoir, with an impervious liner, having 11,650 acre-foot gross
storage capacity; (3) a intake/outlet structure in the upper reservoir;
(4) a 680-foot-long, 30-foot-diameter,

concrete-lined power shaft penstock; (5) a 1,420-foot-long 30-foot-
diameter, concrete-lined, power tunnel penstock that will split into
three 16-foot-diameter penstocks approximately 450-foot-long, that will
extend to the powerhouse; (6) an underground powerhouse/pump station,
containing three reversible pump-turbine generating units, with a total
generating capacity of 600 megawatts; (7) a 6,620 foot-long tailrace
tunnel to; the existing Corps Lake Dardanelle as its lower reservoir;
(8) an intake/outlet structure located on the south shore of Lake
Dardanelle; (9) a 8,000-foot-long, 500-kilovolt overhead transmission
line from the powerhouse to (10) a proposed substation at the point of
interconnection with an existing utility transmission line. The
proposed project would have an annual energy generation of 640,000
megawatt-hours.

    Abstract: The sources subject to this rule (i.e., extraction
plants, ceramic plants, foundries, incinerators, propellant plants, and
machine shops which process beryllium and its derivatives), complying
with the onetime only stack test, would be required to submit initial
notification reports and a one-time-only report with the emission limit
determination. The sources complying with the alternative ambient air
quality limit by operating a continuous monitor in the vicinity of the
affected facility are required to submit a monthly report of all
measured concentrations. Records shall be retained for two years.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Sources processing beryllium ore,
beryllium, beryllium oxides, beryllium alloys, or beryllium-containing
waste.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 61,
subpart C).
    Estimated number of respondents: 33 (total).
    Frequency of response: Monthly and occasionally.
    Total estimated burden: 2,629 hours (per year). ``Burden'' is
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $292,208 (per year), includes $35,000 in
either annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an apparent increase of two
hours in the total estimated respondent burden as currently identified
in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is due to
rounding, and is not due to any program changes. The most-recently
approved ICR rounded the burden hours associated with recordkeeping for
operating parameters and emissions to the nearest whole number. In
contrast, burden hours are rounded to two decimal places in this ICR,
resulting in an apparent increase of two hours.
    There is an increase in the respondent cost from the most recently-
approved ICR due to the use of updated labor rates. This ICR references
labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate the
respondent burden cost.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.

Federal Railroad Administration

Notice of Application for Approval of Discontinuance or
Modification of a Railroad Signal System or Relief from the
Requirements of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations Part 236

    Pursuant to Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 235 and
49 U.S.C. 20502(a), the following railroad has petitioned the Federal
Railroad Administration (FRA) seeking approval for the discontinuance
or modification of the signal system or relief from the requirements of
49 CFR part 236, as detailed below.

Docket Number FRA-2007-29118

    Applicant: Massachusetts Bay Commuter Railroad Company, Mr. John B.
Mitchell, Assistant Chief Engineer, C&S, 32 Cobble Hill Road, Suite 3,
Somerville, Massachusetts 02143-4431.
    The Massachusetts Bay Commuter Railroad Company (MBCR) seeks
approval of the modification of existing signal system and proposed
discontinuance and removal of 26 automatic color light signals. The
signal modification on Track 1 and Track 2 of the Fairmont Commuter
Rail Line, also known as the Dorchester Branch, owned by the
Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), extends from South
Bay Interlocking (Milepost 226.82) to Dana Interlocking (Milepost
220.0), Boston, Massachusetts.
    The reason given for the proposed changes is to facilitate train
movements around an MBTA bridge rehabilitation project consisting of
three bridges on the Dorchester Branch, as well as to retire a signal
system comprised of phase selective track circuitry, mechanical relays,
and traffic control circuitry that runs through line wire and cables.
The project will modify the entire system from a Northeast Operating
Rules Advisory Committee (NORAC) Rule 261 system to a NORAC Rule 562
System (cab signals without fixed automatic block signals).
    Any interested party desiring to protest the granting of an
application shall set forth specifically the grounds upon which the
protest is made, and include a concise statement of the interest of the
party in the proceeding. Additionally, one copy of the protest shall be
furnished to the applicant at the address listed above.
    FRA expects to be able to determine these matters without an oral
hearing. However, if a specific request for an oral hearing is
accompanied by a showing that the party is unable to adequately present
his/her position by written statements, an application may be set for
public hearing.
    All communications concerning this proceeding should identify the
appropriate docket number (FRA-2007-29118) and may be submitted by one
of the following methods:
    Web site: http://dms.dot.gov. Follow the instructions for

Transportation West Building Ground Floor, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE.,
