SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. GM's Petition

    Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) (see implementing rule
at 49 CFR part 556), GM submitted a petition for an exemption from the
notification and remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 on the
basis that this noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle
safety.
    This notice of receipt of GM's petition is published under 49
U.S.C. 30118 and 30120 and does not represent any agency decision or
other exercise of judgment concerning the merits of the petition.

II. Vehicles Involved

    Affected are approximately 51,704 MY 2010-2014 GM Cadillac SRX
manufactured between June 18, 2009, and October 31, 2013.

III. Noncompliance

    GM explains that the noncompliances are due to both an error in the
spare rim marking, and that the tire and rim matching information is
not contained in The European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization
(ETRTO) publication. The dimensions of the rims are consistent with the
dimensions listed by ETRTO, and should have been marked ``E'' as
required by FMVSS No. 110, S4.4.2(a). Due to the rim marking error, the
rims were marked ``T,'' indicating The Tire and Rim Association, Inc.
(T&RA), as a consequence some of the actual dimensions of the rims are
inconsistent with the published nominal dimensions in the T&RA Year
Book. In addition, the combination of T135/70R18 temporary spare tires
and 18x4.5B rims is not listed in ETRTO, which is a noncompliance with
FMVSS No. 109, S4.4.1(b).

IV. Rule Text

Paragraph S4.4.2 of FMVSS No. 110 requires in pertinent part: Each
rim shall be marked with the information listed in S4.4.2(a) through
(e) . . .
    (a) designation that indicates the source of the rim's published
nominal dimensions, as follows:
    (1) ``T'' indicates The Tire and Rim Association.
    (2) ``E'' indicates The European Tyre and Rim Technical
Organization . . .
Paragraph S4.4.1 of FMVSS No. 109 requires in pertinent part: . . .
a listing of the rims that may be used with each tire is provided to
the public . . . in one of the following forms:
    (b) Contained in publications, current at the date of
manufacture of the tire or any later date, of at least one of the
following organizations: Tire and Rim Association, The European Tyre
and Rim Technical Organization, . . .

V. Summary of GM's Analyses

    GM stated its belief that the subject noncompliances are
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety for the following reasons:
    1. GM stated that the tire and rim of the affected spare wheels are
properly matched, and are appropriate for the load-carrying
characteristics of the subject vehicles. The subject tire/rim assembly
meets S4.4.1(b) rapid air loss requirement of FMVSS No. 110. The
subject vehicles also met GM's internal ride and handling guidelines
with the subject spare tire/rim assembly installed. The incorrect
association marking has no effect on the performance of the tire/rim
combination.

    2. GM believes that all other rim marking information required by
S4.4.2 of FMVSS No. 110 on the subject rims is correct. The rims are
marked with S4.4.2(b) rim size designation; S4.4.2(c) the symbol DOT;
S4.4.2(d) manufacturer identification; and S4.4.2(e) month and year of
manufacture.
    3. GM believes that the rim is marked with the correct rim size
information; namely 18x4.5B. The vehicle tire pressure placard contains
the correct tire size information, and the tire size is marked on the
tire sidewall. The certification label on the vehicle contains the
correct spare tire and rim sizes; namely T135/70R18 and 18x4.5B. Thus,
the rim markings and vehicle labeling, which are used to identify the
correct replacement rim, provide the correct and complete size of spare
rim. Therefore, there is very little likelihood of a tire and rim
mismatch as a result of the incorrect marking of the source of the
published rim dimensions.
    4. GM believes that very few of these spare wheels will ever need
to be replaced over the life of the vehicle. Nevertheless, the owner's
manual provided with these vehicles contains a section ``Wheel
Replacement''. This section states ``Your dealer will know the kind of
wheel that is needed. Each new wheel should have the same load-carrying
capacity, diameter, width, offset, and be mounted the same way as the
one it replaces.''
    5. GM believes that if a customer needs to replace a spare wheel,
he/she is likely to go to a GM dealer or a tire/wheel retailer. The
skilled personnel at these facilities know how to determine the correct
spare wheel size that they are replacing. For spare wheel replacement,
they may look at the spare wheel itself, the tire, the tire placard or
the certification label to determine the replacement size. The spare
wheel does contain the correct size designation 18x4.5B.
    6. GM believes that all other applicable requirements of FMVSS Nos.
109 and 110 have been met.
    GM also stated its belief that NHTSA has previously granted
inconsequential treatment for FMVSS No. 110 rim marking noncompliance.
    GM informed NHTSA that it is not aware of any crashes, injuries or
customer complaints associated with this condition.
    GM also informed NHTSA that it has corrected the noncompliance for
all future production.
    In summation, GM believes that the described noncompliance of the
subject vehicles is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety, and that
its petition, to exempt from providing recall notification of
noncompliance as required by 49 U.S.C. 30118 and remedying the recall
noncompliance as required by 49 U.S.C. 30120 should be granted.
    NHTSA notes that the statutory provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to file petitions for a
determination of inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to exempt manufacturers
only from the duties found in sections 30118 and 30120, respectively,
to notify owners, purchasers, and dealers of a defect or noncompliance
and to remedy the defect or noncompliance. Therefore, any decision on
this petition only applies to the subject noncompliant vehicles that GM
no longer controlled at the time it determined that the noncompliance
existed. However, any decision on this petition does not relieve motor
vehicle distributors and dealers of the prohibitions on the sale, offer
for sale, or introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate
commerce of the noncompliant motor vehicles under their control after
GM notified them that the subject noncompliance existed.

49 CFR 1.95 and 501.8)

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2011-0094]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with part 211 of title 49 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), this document provides public notice that by a
document dated October 28, 2011, the Maryland Transit Administration
(MTA) has petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a
waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad
safety regulations contained at 49 CFR Section 213.329, Curves,
elevation and speed limitations; Section 213.333, Automated vehicle
inspection systems; and Section 213.345, Vehicle qualification testing.
FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2011-0094.
    MTA seeks a permanent waiver of compliance from the provisions of
49 CFR Sections 213.329, 213.333, and 213.345 as part of its recent
purchase of 26 new model MP36PH-3C locomotives. These locomotives are
intended for operation by MTA's Maryland Area Regional Commuter (MARC)
train service on the National Railroad Passenger Corporation's (Amtrak)
Northeast Corridor (NEC) at 100 mph and 4 inches cant deficiency. In
MTA's previous waiver request, dated January 22, 2009, MTA sought
relief from 49 CFR Section 213.345(b), which references 49 CFR Section
213.333. The waiver would allow MTA to test the MP36 locomotives with
accelerometers, instead of instrumented wheelsets. MTA also indicated
that it would use computer simulations to evaluate the wheel/rail
forces for speeds and track geometry of the MARC route over the NEC.
    In December 2010, during route testing in Maryland, the MP36PH-3C
sustained carbody yaw oscillations that exceeded the carbody lateral
acceleration limits described in FRA's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM), as found in Docket Number FRA-2009-0036. In February 2011, MTA
rescinded that waiver petition until a solution to the carbody yaw
issue could be developed and implemented.
    In its current waiver petition, MTA indicated that it has developed
and implemented a solution to the sustained carbody yaw issue by
modifying the MP36PH-3C locomotive truck, as detailed in Attachment 2
to the waiver petition. It also indicated that computer simulations
using a valid computer model demonstrated that the modified MP36PH-3C
locomotive complies with the wheel/rail forces and the truck and
carbody acceleration limits contained in the NPRM for 49 CFR section
213.333.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at http://www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation's (DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey Ave.
SE., W12-140, Washington, DC 20590. The Docket Operations Facility is
open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
Holidays.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment, they should notify FRA, in

[Docket No. FAA-2021-0263; Project Identifier AD-2020-01702-T]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for all The Boeing Company Model 777 airplanes. This proposed AD was
prompted by a report that an operator found solid rivets with missing
heads at the left buttock line 25 on the sloping pressure deck web.
This proposed AD would require doing a detailed inspection of the left
and right side sloping pressure deck at certain stations for any
damaged solid rivets, and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is
proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 24,
2021.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2021-0263; Project Identifier
AD-2020-01702-T'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the proposal, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposal because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The agency will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact received about this NPRM.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this NPRM, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing CBI

should be sent to Luis Cortez, Aerospace Engineer, Airframe Section,
FAA, Seattle ACO Branch, 2200 South 216th St., Des Moines, WA 98198;
phone and fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Any
commentary that the FAA receives which is not specifically designated
as CBI will be placed in the public docket for this rulemaking.

Background

    The FAA has received a report indicating that an operator found
solid rivets with missing heads at the left buttock line 25 on the
sloping pressure deck web. The Model 777-300 airplane had 23 solid
rivet locations with missing manufactured heads; the airplane had
accumulated 21,343 total flight cycles and 53,979 total flight hours at
time of discovery. A fleet-wide multiple operator message (MOM) request
found four more Model 777-300 airplanes and one retired Model 777-200
airplane with missing solid rivet heads. Boeing analysis showed the
root cause to be the 7050 aluminum solid rivets used on the sloping
pressure deck web, which were inadequate for the complex tension
loading environment, and led to premature fatigue cracking of the solid
rivets. This condition, if not addressed, could result in undetected
damaged or missing rivet heads on the sloping pressure deck web, which
could result in loss of sloping pressure deck panels, causing
decompression and pressure loss, and loss of the hydraulic systems in
the area for wheel brakes (both normal and alternate) and steering, and
potentially leading to runway departure and adversely affecting the
structural integrity of the airplane.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on other
products of the same type design.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 777-53A0093 RB,
dated November 24, 2020. This service information specifies procedures
for doing a detailed inspection of the left and right side sloping
pressure deck from station (STA) 1245 to STA 1287 for any damaged (i.e.
missing solid rivet heads, cracking or deformation of the solid rivet,
or gaps between the solid rivet head and the sloping pressure deck
surface) solid rivets, and applicable on-condition actions. On-
condition actions include repeating the detailed inspection of the left
and right side sloping pressure deck from STA 1245 to STA 1287 for any
damaged solid rivet; repetitive detailed inspections of two rows of
blind fasteners and solid rivets common to the affected stiffener for
any damaged solid rivet or damaged blind fastener; replacing solid
rivets or blind fasteners; and repair.
    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 ADDRESSES.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information already described, except for any
differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this
proposed AD. For information on the procedures and compliance times,
see this service information at https://www.regulations.gov by
searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2021-0263.

Explanation of Requirements Bulletin

    The FAA worked in conjunction with industry, under the
Airworthiness Directive Implementation Aviation Rulemaking Committee
(AD ARC), to enhance the AD system. One enhancement is a process for
annotating which steps in the service information are ``required for
compliance'' (RC) with an AD. Boeing has implemented this RC concept
into Boeing service bulletins.
    In an effort to further improve the quality of ADs and AD-related
Boeing service information, a joint process improvement initiative was
worked between the FAA and Boeing. The initiative resulted in the
development of a new process in which the service information more
clearly identifies the actions needed to address the unsafe condition
in the ``Accomplishment Instructions.'' The new process results in a
Boeing Requirements Bulletin, which contains only the actions needed to
address the unsafe condition (i.e., only the RC actions).

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 224 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following
costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost on U.S.
             Action                     Labor cost          Parts cost     Cost per product        operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Detailed inspections...........  Up to 384 work-hours x               $0  Up to $32,640.....  Up to $7,311,360.
                                  $85 per hour = Up to
                                  $32,640.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary
replacements or inspections that would be required based on the results
of the proposed inspection. The agency has no way of determining the
number of aircraft that might need these replacements or inspections:

                                               On-Condition Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
               Action                         Labor cost                Parts cost           Cost per product

                                      hour = $28,730.
Replacement (blind fastener).......  328 work-hour x $85 per      Up to $450............  Up to $28,330.
                                      hour = $27,880.
Repetitive inspections of fastener   326 work-hours x $85 per     $0 per inspection       $27,710 per inspection
 rows.                                hour = $27,710 per           cycle.                  cycle.
                                      inspection cycle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA has received no definitive data on which to base the cost
estimates for the on-condition repairs specified in this proposed AD.

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

    The FAA 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 this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive:

The Boeing Company: Docket No. FAA-2021-0263; Project Identifier AD-
2020-01702-T.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments on this airworthiness directive
(AD) by May 24, 2021.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-87440; File No. SR-MIAX-2019-45]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Miami International Securities
Exchange, LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change To Amend Exchange Rule 518, Complex Orders

November 1, 2019.
    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 22, 2019, Miami International Securities Exchange, LLC
(``MIAX Options'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') a 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 a proposal to amend Exchange Rule 518,
Complex Orders.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at http://www.miaxoptions.com/rule-filings/ at MIAX Options'
principal office, 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 Exchange proposes to amend subsection (c)(2)(iii) of Exchange
Rule 518, Complex Orders, to remove the provision which provides that a
component of a complex order \3\ that legs into the Simple Order Book
\4\ may not execute at a price that is outside the NBBO.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ A ``complex order'' is any order involving the concurrent
purchase and/or sale of two or more different options in the same
underlying security (the ``legs'' or ``components'' of the complex
order), for the same account, in a ratio that is equal to or greater
than one-to-three (.333) and less than or equal to three-to-one
(3.00) and for the purposes of executing a particular investment
strategy. Mini-options may only be part of a complex order that
includes other mini-options. Only those complex orders in the
classes designated by the Exchange and communicated to Members via
Regulatory Circular with no more than the applicable number of legs,
as determined by the Exchange on a class-by-class basis and
communicated to Members via Regulatory Circular, are eligible for
processing. See Exchange Rule 518(a)(5).
    \4\ The ``Simple Order Book'' is the Exchange's regular
electronic book of orders and quotes. See Exchange Rule 518(a)(15).
    \5\ The term ``NBBO'' means the national best bid or offer as
calculated by the Exchange based on market information received by
the Exchange from the appropriate Securities Information Processor
(``SIP''). See Exchange Rule 518(a)(14).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently, subsection (c)(2)(iii) provides that complex orders up
to a maximum number of legs (determined by the Exchange on a class-by-
class basis as either two or three legs and communicated to Members \6\
via Regulatory Circular) may be automatically executed against bids and
offers on the Simple Order Book for the individual legs of the complex
order (``Legging''), provided the complex order can be executed in full
or in a permissible ratio by such bids and offers, and provided that
the execution price of each component is not executed at a price that
is outside of the NBBO.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The term ``Member'' means an individual or organization
approved to exercise the trading rights associated with a Trading
Permit. Members are deemed ``members'' under the Exchange Act. See
Exchange Rule 100.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange now proposes to remove the provision of the rule which
stipulates that a component of a complex order that legs into the
Simple Order Book is not executed at a price that is outside of the
NBBO. The Exchange believes removing this provision will improve
liquidity on the Exchange's Strategy Book \7\ and increase
opportunities for execution of complex orders. Under the Exchange's
proposal each component leg of a complex order may be executed at a
price equal to or better than the MBBO \8\ for that leg, but only if
the net strategy price is not through the Complex MIAX Price Collar
(``MPC'') Price \9\ for the complex order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The ``Strategy Book'' is the Exchange's electronic book of
complex orders and complex quotes. See Exchange Rule 518(a)(17).
    \8\ The term MBBO means the best bid or offer on the Simple
Order Book. See Exchange Rule 518(a)(13).
    \9\ The MPC price protection feature is an Exchange-wide
mechanism under which a complex order or complex eQuote to sell will
not be displayed or executed at a price that is lower than the
opposite side cNBBO bid at the time the MPC is assigned by the
System (i.e., upon receipt or upon opening) by more than a specific
dollar amount expressed in $0.01 increments (the ``MPC Setting''),
and under which a complex order or eQuote to buy will not be
displayed or executed at a price that is higher than the opposite
side cNBBO offer at the time the MPC is assigned by the System by
more than the MPC Setting (each the ``MPC Price''). See Exchange
Rule 518.05(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange notes that at least one other competing options
exchange allows component legs of a complex order to trade outside of
the NBBO for the component leg. Specifically, BOX Exchange Rule
7240(b)(3)(iii)(A) provides that ``[i]f an inbound Complex Order is
executable (against either opposite side Complex Orders on the Complex
Order Book or interest on the BOX Book) on BOX, BOX will determine if
the potential execution price is equal to or better than both Extended
cNBBO and cBBO. If so, the inbound Complex Order will be executed to
the extent possible according to the priority described in [BOX
Exchange] Rule 7240(b)(3)(i).'' \10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80917 (June 13,
2017), 82 FR 27920 (June 19, 2017) (SR-BOX-2017-20).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The BOX Exchange Extended cNBBO is similar to the MIAX Options MPC
price protection and is intended to mitigate the potential risk of
executions at prices that are extreme or potentially erroneous. The
Extended cNBBO is the maximum net bid and offer execution price for a
Complex Order Strategy.\11\ Under Box Exchange Rule 7240(a)(5), the
Extended cNBBO is calculated by subtracting the Extended cNBBO Limit
\12\ from the cNBB \13\ and adding the Extended cNBBO Limit to the
cNBO.\14\ In calculating the Extended cNBBO, each side of the Extended
cNBBO is rounded to the nearest penny within the Extended cNBBO (i.e.
the cNBB is rounded up to the nearest penny and the cNBO is rounded
down to the nearest penny). The Extended cNBBO Limit is a percentage or
an amount, whichever provides the less restrictive range (i.e. the
widest range) when calculating the Extended cNBBO.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ The term ``Complex Order Strategy'' or ``Strategy'' means a
particular combination of components of a Complex Order and their
ratios to one another. See BOX Exchange Rule 7240(a)(9).
    \12\ The term ``Extended cNBBO Limit'' means a percentage or an
amount, whichever provides for the greatest chance of execution
(i.e. the widest range) when calculating the Extended cNBBO. The
Extended cNBBO Limit for all classes will be a minimum of 3% and a
maximum of 50% of the cNBB or cNBO as applicable; or a minimum
amount of $0.00 and a maximum amount of $1.00. The default Extended
cNBBO Limit for all classes will be 5% of the cNBB or cNBO as
applicable, or $0.05. The Exchange will communicate the Extended
cNBBO Limit with prior notice to Participants via Circular. The
Exchange may modify the Extended cNBBO Limit on all classes with
prior notice to Participants via Circular. See BOX Exchange Rule
7240(a)(6).
    \13\ The term ``cNBB'' means the best net bid price for a
Complex Order Strategy based on the NBBO for the individual options
components of such Strategy. See BOX Exchange Rule 7240(a)(2).
    \14\ The term ``cNBO'' means the best net offer price for a
Complex Order Strategy based on the NBBO for the individual options
components of such Strategy. See BOX Exchange Rule 7240(a)(4).
    \15\ See supra note 12.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange will announce the implementation date of the proposed
rule change by Regulatory Circular to be published no later than 90
days following the operative date of the proposed rule. The
implementation date will be no later than 90 days following the
issuance of the Regulatory Circular.

2. Statutory Basis
    MIAX believes that its proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b) of the Act \16\ in general, and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \17\ in particular, in that it is designed
to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling,
processing information with respect to, and facilitating transactions
in, securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanisms of
a free and open market and a national market system and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \17\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes its proposal promotes just and equitable
principles of trade, removes impediments to and perfects the mechanisms
of a free and open market and a national market system, and in general,
protects investors and the public interest by removing the provision
that prevents a component of a complex order that legs into the Simple
Order Book from executing at a price that is outside the NBBO. The
Exchange believes that removing this provision will result in increased
opportunities for the execution of complex orders, leading to increased
liquidity on the Strategy Book, which benefits all Exchange
participants by providing more trading opportunities. Further, although
the proposal will allow component legs of a complex order to execute
outside of the NBBO for that component, the Exchange believes that the
MPC price protection feature will mitigate the potential risk of
executions occurring at prices that are extreme or potentially
erroneous. Moreover, the proposed rule change is consistent with rules
regarding complex order handling and execution on at least one other
exchange.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ See BOX Exchange Rule 7240(b)(3)(iii)(A).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change is
designed to increase liquidity on the Exchange's Strategy Book by
removing the provision that prevents a component of a complex order
that legs into the Simple Order Book from executing at a price that is
through the NBBO for that component. Implementation of the proposed
rule change will facilitate additional executions and enable greater
competition among other competing exchanges that provide similar
complex order handling.
    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on intramarket competition as the proposed rule
change applies equally to all Exchange Members. All Exchange Members
who submit complex orders to the Exchange may benefit from the
proposal.
    The Exchange does not believes that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on intermarket competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, conversely the
Exchange believes that its proposal will increase intermarket
competition.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days after the date of the filing, or such
shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective
pursuant to 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \19\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \20\
thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \20\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 should be approved or disapproved.

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Information About CADDIS

    Over a thousand water bodies in the United States are listed by
states as biologically impaired. For many of these sites, the cause of
impairment is reported as ``unknown.'' Before appropriate management
actions can be formulated for impaired water bodies, the causes of
biological impairment (e.g., excess fine sediments, nutrients, or
toxics) must be identified. Effective causal analyses require knowledge
of the mechanisms, symptoms, and stressor-response relationships for
various stressors, as well as the ability to use that knowledge to draw
appropriate, defensible conclusions. To aid in these causal analyses,
NCEA developed CADDIS, which is a web-based decision support system
that will help regional, state, and tribal investigators find, access,
organize, and share information useful for causal evaluations in
aquatic systems. CADDIS is based on EPA's Stressor Identification
process, which is a formal method for identifying causes of impairments
in aquatic environments. Features include a step-by-step guide to
conducting causal analysis; examples and applications; a library of
conceptual models; and an online application for collaborating on
conceptual diagrams and using them to update and access a database of
supporting literature, information on basic and advanced data analyses,
downloadable software tools, and links to outside information sources.
