RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -
300, -400, and -500 Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for all Boeing Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series
airplanes. For certain airplanes, this proposed AD would require
replacing the outboard stabilizing fitting and certain adjacent
components of the main landing gear (MLG) support beam. This proposed
AD would also require repetitive inspections for discrepancies of the
outboard stabilizing fitting, walking beam hanger, and rear spar
attachment, and corrective actions if necessary. For certain airplanes,
this proposed AD would provide an alternative one-time inspection of
the outboard stabilizing fitting for discrepancies and corrective
actions if necessary, which would extend the compliance time for the
replacement of the outboard stabilizing fitting. For certain other
airplanes, this proposed AD would also require performing a torque
check of the aft pin of the outboard stabilizing fitting, and
corrective actions if necessary. This proposed AD results from reports
of findings of fatigue cracking of the outboard stabilizing fitting and
stress corrosion cracking of the bolts attaching the fitting to the
wing rear spar. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct that
cracking, which could result in disconnection of the MLG actuator from
the rear spar and support beam, and consequent damage to the hydraulic
system causing hydraulic fluid leakage and loss of control of the
airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by October 15,
2007.

Discussion

    We have received several reports indicating findings of fatigue
cracking of the outboard stabilizing fitting and stress corrosion
cracking of the bolts attaching the fitting to the wing rear spar and
certain adjacent components of the main landing gear (MLG) support beam
on Boeing Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series
airplanes. Those reports include the following: Cracking of the
outboard stabilizing fitting attributed to fatigue, loose or missing
forward pins that attach the stabilizing fitting to the stud assembly;
a fractured aft pin that attaches the tube assembly to the aft
stabilizing fitting, and fractured H-11 bolts that attach the inboard
and outboard stabilizing fittings to the wing rear spar. These failures
could result in disconnection of the MLG actuator from the rear spar
and support beam, and consequent damage to the hydraulic system fluid
supply tube causing hydraulic fluid leakage and loss of control of the
airplane.

Other Relevant Rulemaking

    On December 30, 1998, we issued AD 98-11-04 R1, amendment 39-10984
(64 FR 987, January 7, 1999), for all Boeing Model 737-100 and -200
series airplanes. That AD supersedes AD 91-14-20 to continue to require
that the FAA-approved maintenance program be revised to include
inspections that will give no less than the required damage tolerance
rating for each Structural Significant Item (SSI). AD 98-11-04 R1 also
requires additional and expanded inspections, and repair of cracked
structure. That AD was prompted by a structural re-evaluation by the
manufacturer which identified additional structural elements where, if
damage were to occur, supplemental inspections may be required for
timely detection. We issued that AD to ensure the continued structural
integrity of the Boeing Model 737-100 and -200 fleet.

Relevant Service Information

    We have reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1266,
Revision 1, dated January 3, 2007. For certain airplanes, the service
bulletin describes procedures for replacing the outboard stabilizing
fitting and certain adjacent components of the MLG support beam. The
replacement procedures and configuration group to which the airplane
belongs, are as follows.
     For airplanes identified in the service bulletin as Groups
1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, the procedures describe replacing the outboard
stabilizing fitting with a new titanium fitting and replacing the H-11
bolts that attach the fitting to the wing rear spar with new Inconel
718 bolts. In addition, the procedures describe replacing the aft pin
that attaches the tube assembly to the aft outboard stabilizing fitting
with a titanium bolt, replacing the forward pin, and replacing the H-11
bolts for the inboard stabilizing fitting with new Inconel 718 bolts.
As part of the replacement of the H-11 bolts, the service bulletin
recommends contacting Boeing if corrosion damage is found which cannot
be removed. The service bulletin also recommends prior or concurrent
accomplishment of Part IV of Boeing Service Bulletin 737-57-1052,
Revision 4, dated October 24, 1980, for Group 1 and 3 airplanes. Part
IV describes procedures for replacing the existing tube assembly of the
MLG support beam with a new assembly. For airplanes that had the aft
pin of the aft outboard stabilizing fitting replaced per Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737-57A1266, dated May 8, 2003, the procedures specify
performing a torque check of the aft pin of the aft outboard
stabilizing fitting and corrective actions if necessary. If the torque
is greater than 570 in. lbs., the corrective action is replacing the
aft pin and aft outboard stabilizing fitting. If the torque is less
than 570 in. lbs., the corrective action is replacing the aft pin.
     For airplanes identified in the service bulletin as Groups
6 and 7, the procedures describe replacing the outboard stabilizing
fitting with a titanium fitting and replacing the H-11 bolts that
attach the fitting to the wing rear spar with new Inconel 718 bolts. In
addition, the procedures describe replacing the forward pin that
attaches the stud assembly to the outboard stabilizing fitting with a
titanium pin. The procedures also describe replacing the H-11 bolts for
the inboard stabilizing fitting with new Inconel 718 bolts for Group 6
only.

     For airplanes identified in the service bulletin as Group
8, the procedures describe replacing the outboard stabilizing fitting
with a titanium fitting, and replacing the forward pin that attaches
the stud assembly to the outboard stabilizing fitting with new
components.
     For airplanes identified in the service bulletin as Group
9, the procedures describe doing a general visual inspection of the
outboard stabilizing fitting and fasteners for discrepancies, and
corrective actions if necessary. The corrective action is contacting
Boeing if any discrepancies are found.
    For airplanes identified in the service bulletin as Group 8, and
Groups 1 through 7 on which the existing H-11 bolts were previously
replaced with Inconel 718 bolts, the procedures describe an alternative
magnetic test of the attach bolts to determine if inspections could be
done that may extend the compliance time for the replacement of the
outboard stabilizing fitting. If any bolt is magnetic, do not do the
alternative inspection. If none of the bolts are magnetic, do a one-
time general visual inspection of the stabilizing fitting for
discrepancies (damage, failure, or irregularity), and a high frequency
eddy current (HFEC) inspection for cracking of the fitting inboard and
outboard lug faces, the fillet radii, and the fitting lug hole, and
verify the fitting hole is within limits, and corrective actions if
necessary. Performing the alternative inspection extends the compliance
time from 36 to 60 months for replacing the fitting if no cracking is
found.
    The corrective actions for the alternative inspections are as
follows:
     If cracking is found during the alternative inspection,
the service bulletin specifies doing the replacement of the fitting as
specified in Part II of the service bulletin. If no cracking is found,
the service bulletin specifies doing an installation of replacement
bushings and reaming the bushing holes to final size, replacing the
forward pin, and for Groups 1 through 5, replacing the aft pin. If any
other damage is found or if the fitting hole is beyond the hole size
limits, the service bulletin recommends contacting Boeing for repair
instructions.
    For all airplanes, the service bulletin describes procedures for
repetitive inspections for discrepancies of the outboard stabilizing
fitting, walking beam hanger, and rear spar attachment fitting, and
corrective actions if necessary. The corrective action is contacting
Boeing if any discrepancies are found.
    Service Bulletin 737-57A1266 refers to the following service
bulletins as acceptable sources of service information:
    Boeing Service Bulletin 737-57-1231, dated December 1, 1994, is an
acceptable source of service information for accomplishment of the
replacement of the H-11 attachment bolts of the inboard stabilizing
fitting with new components for some airplane groups.
    Boeing Service Bulletin 737-57-1073, Revision 4, dated April 12,
1985, is an acceptable source of service information for previous
accomplishment of the replacement of the MLG support beam.
    We have determined that accomplishment of the actions specified in
Service Bulletin 737-57A1266 will adequately address the unsafe
condition.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the Proposed AD

    We have evaluated all pertinent information and identified an
unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on other airplanes
of this same type design. For this reason, we are proposing this AD,
which would require accomplishing the actions specified in the Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1266, Revision 1, except as discussed
under ``Differences Between the Proposed AD and Alert Service Bulletin
737-57A1266.''

Differences Between the Proposed AD and Alert Service Bulletin 737-
57A1266

    For airplanes identified in the service bulletin as Groups 1
through 5 on which the aft pin of the outboard stabilizing fitting has
been replaced in accordance with the original issue of the service
bulletin: The service bulletin recommends accomplishing the torque
check of the aft pin within 36 months after the original issue date of
the service bulletin, and, if the aft pin does not pass the torque
check, replacing the aft pin and aft outboard stabilizing fitting
within an additional 36 months after the torque check. However, we have
determined that interval would not address the identified unsafe
condition soon enough to ensure an adequate level of safety for the
affected fleet. We find that a compliance time of within 36 months
after accomplishing the replacement, or 36 months after the effective
date of this AD, whichever is later, for doing the torque check and
doing all applicable corrective actions before further flight,
represents an appropriate interval of time for affected airplanes to
continue to operate without compromising safety. This difference has
been coordinated with the manufacturer.
    Certain sections in Parts I, II, and V of the Accomplishment
Instructions of the service bulletin specify ``For 737-100 and -200
airplanes'' and ``For 737-300 and -500 airplanes.'' Those sections are
applicable to Model 737-100, -200, and -200C airplanes, and Model 737-
300, -400, and -500 airplanes, respectively. Model 737-200C and -400
airplanes were inadvertently excluded from those sections.
    The service bulletin also specifies to contact the manufacturer for
instructions on how to repair certain conditions, but this proposed AD
would require repairing those conditions in one of the following ways:
     Using a method that we approve; or
     Using data that meet the certification basis of the
airplane, and that have been approved by an Authorized Representative
for the Boeing Commercial Airplanes Delegation Option Authorization
Organization whom we have authorized to make those findings.

Costs of Compliance

    There are about 3,130 airplanes of the affected design in the
worldwide fleet. This proposed AD would affect about 1,380 airplanes of
U.S. registry.
    For all airplanes: The proposed replacement would take between 20
and 24 work hours per airplane to do, depending on the airplane's
configuration, at an average labor rate of $80 per work hour. Required
parts would cost between $3,658 and $4,272 per airplane, depending on
the airplane's configuration. Based on these figures, the estimated
cost of the proposed replacement is estimated to be up to between
$7,256,040 and $8,544,960, or between $5,258 and $6,192 per airplane,
depending on the airplane's configuration.
    For Groups 1 through 8 airplanes: The alternative inspection, if
done, would take about 12 work hours per airplane to do, at an average
labor rate of $80 per work hour. Based on these figures, the estimated
cost of the alternative inspection is estimated to be up to $1,324,800,
or $960 per airplane.
    For Group 9 airplanes: The general visual inspection would take
about 2 work hours per airplane to do, at an average labor rate of $80
per work hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the
general visual inspection is estimated to be up to $220,800, or $160
per airplane.
    For Groups 1 through 5 airplanes that had steel pins replaced per
the original issue of the service bulletin: The torque check would take
about 7 work hours

per airplane to do, at an average labor rate of $80 per work hour.
Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the torque check is
estimated to be up to $772,800, or $560 per airplane.

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.

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 the proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket. See the
ADDRESSES section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety.

    (3) If damage other than cracking is found, or if the fitting
lug hole is beyond hole size limits, before further flight, repair
using a method approved in accordance with the procedures specified
in paragraph (p) of this AD.

General Visual Inspection

    (i) For airplanes identified as Group 9, as specified in the
alert service bulletin: Within 36 months or 4,500 flight cycles
after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later, do a
general visual inspection of the outboard stabilizing fitting and
fasteners for discrepancies, and do all applicable corrective
actions in accordance with Part IV of the alert service bulletin,
except as provided by paragraphs (j) and (k) of this AD. Within 120
months after the inspection specified in Part IV has been done, do a
general visual inspection for discrepancies of the outboard
stabilizing fitting, walking beam hanger and rear spar attachment
fitting in accordance with Part V of the alert service bulletin, and
do all applicable corrective actions in accordance with Part V of
the alert service bulletin, except as provided by paragraphs (j) and
(k). Do all applicable corrective actions before further flight.
Repeat the Part V inspection at intervals not to exceed 120 months.

Exceptions to Alert Service Bulletin Specifications

    (j) During any inspection required by this AD, if any corrosion
damage is found that cannot be removed, or if any damage is found

that is outside the limits specified in the alert service bulletin,
or if any discrepancy is found and the alert service bulletin
specifies contacting the manufacturer for disposition of certain
repair conditions: Before further flight, repair using a method
approved in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph
(p) of this AD.
    (k) Certain sections in Parts I, II, and V of the Accomplishment
Instructions of the alert service bulletin specify ``For 737-100 and
-200 airplanes'' and ``For 737-300 and -500 airplanes.'' However,
those sections are applicable to Model 737-100, -200, and -200C
airplanes, and Model 737-300, -400, and -500 airplanes,
respectively.

Torque Check

    (l) For airplanes identified as Groups 1 through 5, as specified

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984
(Pub. L. 98-417) and the Generic Animal Drug and Patent Term
Restoration Act (Pub. L. 100-670) generally provide that a patent may
be extended for a period of up to 5 years so long as the patented item
(human drug product, animal drug product, medical device, food
additive, or color additive) was subject to regulatory review by FDA
before the item was marketed. Under these acts, a product's regulatory
review period forms the basis for determining the amount of extension
an applicant may receive.
    A regulatory review period consists of two periods of time: A
testing phase and an approval phase. For medical devices, the testing
phase begins with a clinical investigation of the device and runs

until the approval phase begins. The approval phase starts with the
initial submission of an application to market the device and continues
until permission to market the device is granted. Although only a
portion of a regulatory review period may count toward the actual
amount of extension that the Director of USPTO may award (half the
testing phase must be subtracted as well as any time that may have
occurred before the patent was issued), FDA's determination of the
length of a regulatory review period for a medical device will include
all of the testing phase and approval phase as specified in 35 U.S.C.
156(g)(3)(B).
    FDA has approved for marketing the medical device MICRA
TRANSCATHETER PACING SYSTEM. MICRA TRANSCATHETER PACING SYSTEM is
indicated for use in patients who have experienced one or more of the
following conditions: (1) Symptomatic paroxysmal or permanent high-
grade atrioventricular (AV) block in the presence of atrial
fibrillation (AF); (2) symptomatic paroxysmal or permanent high-grade
AV block in the absence of AF, as an alternative to dual chamber
pacing, when atrial lead placement is considered difficult, high risk,
or not deemed necessary for effective therapy; (3) symptomatic
bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome or sinus node dysfunction (sinus
bradycardia or sinus pauses), as an alternative to atrial or dual
chamber pacing when atrial lead placement is considered difficult, high
risk, or not deemed necessary for effective therapy. Subsequent to this
approval, the USPTO received patent term restoration applications for
MICRA TRANSCATHETER PACING SYSTEM (U.S. Patent Nos. 7,824,805 and
8,129,622) from Medtronic, Inc., and the USPTO requested FDA's
assistance in determining the patents' eligibility for patent term
restoration. In a letter dated March 13, 2017, FDA advised the USPTO
that this medical device had undergone a regulatory review period and
that the approval of MICRA TRANSCATHETER PACING SYSTEM represented the
first permitted commercial marketing or use of the product. Thereafter,
the USPTO requested that FDA determine the product's regulatory review
period.

II. Determination of Regulatory Review Period

    FDA has determined that the applicable regulatory review period for
MICRA TRANSCATHETER PACING SYSTEM is 788 days. Of this time, 585 days
occurred during the testing phase of the regulatory review period,
while 203 days occurred during the approval phase. These periods of
time were derived from the following dates:
    1. The date an exemption under section 520(g) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360j(g)) involving this
device became effective: February 10, 2014. The applicant claims that
the investigational device exemption (IDE) required under section
520(g) of the FD&C Act for human tests to begin became effective on
April 3, 2014. However, FDA records indicate that the IDE was
determined substantially complete for clinical studies to have begun on
February 10, 2014, which represents the IDE effective date.
    2. The date an application was initially submitted with respect to
the device under section 515 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360e):
September 17, 2015. FDA has verified the applicant's claim that the
premarket approval application (PMA) for MICRA TRANSCATHETER PACING
SYSTEM (PMA P150033) was initially submitted September 17, 2015.
    3. The date the application was approved: April 6, 2016. FDA has
verified the applicant's claim that PMA P150033 was approved on April
6, 2016.
    This determination of the regulatory review period establishes the
maximum potential length of a patent extension. However, the USPTO
applies several statutory limitations in its calculations of the actual
period for patent extension. In its applications for patent extension,
this applicant seeks 457 days and 494 days of patent term extension.

III. Petitions

    Anyone with knowledge that any of the dates as published are
incorrect may submit either electronic or written comments and, under
21 CFR 60.24, ask for a redetermination (see DATES). Furthermore, as
specified in Sec.  60.30 (21 CFR 60.30), any interested person may
petition FDA for a determination regarding whether the applicant for
extension acted with due diligence during the regulatory review period.
To meet its burden, the petition must comply with all the requirements
of Sec.  60.30, including but not limited to: Must be timely (see
DATES), must be filed in accordance with Sec.  10.20, must contain
sufficient facts to merit an FDA investigation, and must certify that a
true and complete copy of the petition has been served upon the patent
applicant. (See H. Rept. 857, part 1, 98th Cong., 2d sess., pp. 41-42,
1984.) Petitions should be in the format specified in 21 CFR 10.30.
    Submit petitions electronically to https://www.regulations.gov at
Docket No. FDA-2013-S-0610. Submit written petitions (two copies are
required) to the Dockets Management Staff (HFA-305), Food and Drug
Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-99100; File No. SR-MEMX-2023-32]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; MEMX LLC; Notice of Filing and
Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To Amend the
Exchange's Fee Schedule

December 6, 2023.
    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 November 30, 2023, MEMX LLC (``MEMX'' or the ``Exchange'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ``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 is filing with the Commission a proposed rule change
to amend the Exchange's fee schedule applicable to Members \3\ (the
``Fee Schedule'') pursuant to Exchange Rules 15.1(a) and (c). The
Exchange proposes to implement the changes to the Fee Schedule pursuant
to this proposal on December 1, 2023. The text of the proposed rule
change is provided in Exhibit 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Exchange Rule 1.5(p).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

1. Purpose
    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to amend the Fee
Schedule to remove an expired criteria under Liquidity Provision Tier
5.
    The Exchange currently provides a base rebate of $0.0015 per share
for executions of orders in securities priced at or above $1.00 per
share that add displayed liquidity to the Exchange (such orders,
``Added Displayed Volume'').\4\ The Exchange also currently offers
Liquidity Provision Tiers 1-5 under which a Member may receive an
enhanced rebate for executions of Added Displayed Volume by achieving
the corresponding required volume criteria for each such tier. With
respect to Liquidity Provision Tier 5, the Exchange currently provides
an enhanced rebate of $0.0025 per share for executions of Added
Displayed Volume for Members that qualify for such tier by achieving:
(1) an ADAV \5\ that is equal to or greater than 0.06% of the TCV; \6\
or (2) a Displayed ADAV that is equal to or greater than 0.007% of the
TCV and a Step-Up Displayed ADAV \7\ from May 2023 that is equal to or
greater than 50% of the Member's May 2023 Displayed ADAV of the TCV.\8\
Additionally, the Fee Schedule indicates that criteria (2) of Liquidity
Provision Tier 5 will expire no later than November 30, 2023. Now,
given the expiration of criteria (2) of Liquidity Provision Tier 5, it
is necessary to modify the Fee Schedule to delete this criteria (2) as
well as the note under the Liquidity Provision Tiers pricing table that
indicates its expiration, as both are no longer applicable and
otherwise obsolete. The Exchange is not proposing to make any changes
to this or any other Liquidity Provision Tier, and as such, Liquidity
Provision Tier 5 will now consist solely of the previously existing
criteria (1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The base rebate for executions of Added Displayed Volume is
referred to by the Exchange on the Fee Schedule under the existing
description ``Added displayed volume'' with a Fee Code of ``B'',
``D'' or ``J'', as applicable, on execution reports.
    \5\ As set forth on the Fee Schedule, ``ADAV'' means the average
daily added volume calculated as the number of shares added per day,
which is calculated on a monthly basis.
    \6\ As set forth on the Fee Schedule, ``TCV'' means total
consolidated volume calculated as the volume reported by all
exchanges and trade reporting facilities to a consolidated
transaction reporting plan for the month for which the fees apply.
    \7\ As set forth on the Fee Schedule, ``Step Up Displayed ADAV''
means Displayed ADAV in the relevant baseline month subtracted from
current Displayed ADAV.
    \8\ The proposed pricing for Liquidity Provision Tier 5 is
referred to by the Exchange on the Fee Schedule under the existing
description ``Added displayed volume, Liquidity Provision Tier 5''
with a Fee Code of ``B5'', ``D5'' or ``J5'', as applicable, to be
provided by the Exchange on the monthly invoices provided to
Members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,\9\ in general, and with
Sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,\10\ in particular, in that it
provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and
other charges among its Members and other persons using its facilities
and is not designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers,
issuers, brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed change to modify Liquidity
Provision Tier 5 to remove the expired criteria (2) criteria [sic] is
reasonable because there was an expiration date associated with this
criteria that has now passed. As such, this criteria is no longer
available under this tier, and should not remain on the Fee Schedule.
The Exchange believes that the enhanced rebate for executions of Added
Displayed Volume provided under Liquidity Provision Tier 5, which the
Exchange is not proposing to change with this proposal, remains
commensurate with the required criteria under such tier, as modified,
and is reasonably related to the market quality benefits that such tier
is designed to achieve. The Exchange also believes the enhanced rebate
for executions of Added Displayed Volume provided under Liquidity
Provision Tier 5 remains equitable and not unfairly discriminatory, as
such enhanced rebate will continue to apply equally to all qualifying
Members.
    For the reasons discussed above, the Exchange submits that the
proposal

satisfies the requirements of Sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act
\11\ in that it provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable
dues, fees and other charges among its Members and other persons using
its facilities and is not designed to unfairly discriminate between
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    In accordance with Section 6(b)(8) of the Act,\12\ the Exchange
believes that the proposed rule change will not impose any burden on
competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change would not place
any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change is not
designed to address any competitive issues but rather is designed to
enhance the clarity of the Fee Schedule and alleviate possible Member
confusion that may arise from the inclusion of obsolete language.

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

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.

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 \13\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) \14\ thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii).
    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.

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:
