SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-86378; File No. SR-ICC-2019-005]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; ICE Clear Credit LLC; Order
Approving Proposed Rule Change Relating to ICC's Stress Testing
Framework

July 15, 2019.

I. Introduction

    On May 16, 2019, ICE Clear Credit LLC (``ICC'') filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities

Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposed rule change (SR-ICC-2019-005) to revise the ICC Stress Testing
Framework. The proposed rule change was published in the Federal
Register on May 24, 2019.\3\ The Commission did not receive comments on
the proposed rule change. For the reasons discussed below, the
Commission is approving the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-85938 (May 24, 2019),
84 FR 25310 (May 31, 2019) (SR-ICC-2019-005) (``Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change

    The proposed rule change would revise the ICC Stress Testing
Framework, which describes various stress tests executed by ICC and the
governance process surrounding these tests. The proposed changes relate
primarily to clarifications, updates, and clean-up changes to the
descriptions of stress scenarios and governance throughout the Stress
Testing Framework, as well as the removal of a section of the Stress
Testing Framework that is no longer relevant.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ This description summarizes the description found in the
Notice, 84 FR at 25311-25312.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. Overall Clarifications and Updates

    To foster clarity and enhance the readability and flow of the
Stress Testing Framework, The proposed rule change would reorganize the
Stress Testing Framework by moving various concepts and sections
throughout the document. For instance, ICC would introduce the cover-2
requirement, including related definitions, earlier in the document.
Specifically, the cover-2 requirement introduction will be moved from
the Guaranty Fund Sizing Sensitivity Analysis section of the Stress
Testing Framework to the Methodology section, which is an earlier
section of the Stress Testing Framework. ICC also proposes to introduce
the forward looking (hypothetically constructed) scenarios in the
Methodology section as well, and to add language describing the forward
looking (hypothetically constructed) scenarios, and move two paragraphs
on their construction from the Predefined Scenarios section to the
Methodology section. ICC also proposes to move the General Wrong Way
Risk and Contagion Stress Test section from its current location
between the adequacy and sensitivity analysis sections of the Stress
Testing Framework to instead follow the Display of Discordant Behavior
among Instrument Groups section.
    ICC is also proposing changes to terminology throughout the Stress
Testing Framework. For instance, it will refer to ``reference entity
group'' as ``Risk Factor Groups'' (``RFG'') throughout the document and
define a Clearing Participant RFG as a Clearing Participant Affiliate
Group. Other changes include specifying the reference entities in a RFG
for stress testing and the addition of language to further explain the
calculation of Loss-Given Default and Expected Loss-Given Default with
respect to the forward looking hypothetically constructed scenarios.
ICC will also make various grammatical changes.
    Other proposed changes relate to clarifying edits, utilization of
bulleted lists, and cross-references to more clearly define scenarios
and explain concepts throughout the Stress Testing Framework. For
example, the proposed rule change would amend the `Predefined
Scenarios' section to indicate which scenarios are not expected to be
realized as market outcomes and utilize bulleted lists to more clearly
define the scenarios corresponding to the Historically Observed Extreme
but Plausible Market Scenarios and the Historically Observed Extreme
but Plausible Market Scenarios reflecting a baseline credit event. ICC
proposes to cross-reference relevant sections when noting information
found in those sections and make corresponding changes throughout the
document. In describing the Hypothetically Constructed (Forward
Looking) Extreme but Plausible Market Scenarios, ICC proposes to
specifically refer to ``reference entities'' as ``Single Name Risk
Factors;'' incorporate language on the associated adverse credit event
analysis; and utilize a bulleted list to more clearly define the
scenarios corresponding to the Hypothetically Constructed (Forward
Looking) Extreme but Plausible Market Scenarios. In discussing the
Extreme Model Response Test Scenarios, ICC proposes to add the word
``Market'' to the phrase ``Historically Observed Extreme but Plausible
Market scenarios'' and to utilize a bulleted list to more clearly
define the scenarios corresponding to the Extreme Model Response Test
Scenarios. With respect to stress test results, ICC will specify that
it considers hypothetical losses on a cover-2 basis and cross-reference
a section on the remediation of poor stress testing performance.
    ICC also proposes to remove the `Correlation Sensitivity Analysis
based on Monte Carlo Simulations' section. Given the transition from a
stress-based methodology to a Monte Carlo simulations-based methodology
for certain components of the Initial Margin model, references to the
Monte Carlo sensitivity analysis as a stress testing analysis in the
Stress Testing Framework are no longer relevant.

B. Governance Clarifications and Updates

    ICC is proposing several clarification and update changes related
to the governance section of the Stress Testing Framework by making
clarifying changes related to frequency of review and governance roles.
Specifically, ICC proposes to clarify the frequency at which stress
testing results are reviewed and discussed, as well as the various
roles played by management in the governance of the Stress Testing
Framework, including the Risk Committee, Chief Risk Officer, Risk
Department, Risk Oversight Officer, and Risk Working Group.

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    Section 19(b)(2)(C) of the Act directs the Commission to approve a
proposed rule change of a self-regulatory organization if it finds that
such proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to such
organization.\5\ For the reasons given below, the Commission finds that
the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the
Act \6\ and Rules 17Ad-22(b)(3) and 17Ad-22(d)(8) thereunder.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(C).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
    \7\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(b)(3) and 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(d)(8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. Consistency With Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act

    Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act requires, among other things, that
the rules of a clearing agency be designed to promote the prompt and
accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions, and to
the extent applicable, derivative agreements, contracts and
transactions; to assure the safeguarding of securities and funds which
are in the custody or control of the clearing agency or for which it is
responsible; and to comply with the provisions of the Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As described above, the proposed changes to the Stress Testing
Framework would introduce certain core concepts earlier in the
document. The Commission believes that, by introducing ICC's cover-2
requirement in the Methodology section, which

would be earlier in the document than its current placement, the
proposed rule change would strengthen the documentation surrounding
ICC's stress testing methodology by highlighting and emphasizing to the
document's users, especially those involved in the daily risk
management process, that the methodology's scenarios establish whether
available financial resources are sufficient to cover hypothetical
losses of the two greatest clearing participant affiliate groups.
    Additionally, the proposed rule change updates terminology and
makes other clarifying updates. Some examples of changes include: ``CP
AG'' used to reference clearing participants under a common parent,
``Lehman Brothers'' shortened to ``LB'', ``sum'' replaces ``total,''
utilization of a table to list reports associated with stress
scenarios, and minor placement and numbering changes to figures in the
document. The Commission believes that these clarification updates
enhance the readability of the Stress Testing Framework.
    Further, as described above, the proposed rule change removes
information that is no longer relevant (such as the `Correlation
Sensitivity Analysis based on Monte Carlo Simulations' section) and
moves sections around (such as moving the `General Wrong Way Risk and
Contagion Stress Test' ahead of the adequacy and sensitivity analysis
sections rather than between these sections). The Commission believes
that these revisions enhance the documentation of the Stress Testing
Framework by ensuring that it contains only currently relevant
information and groups related sections in a non-disruptive manner
    The Commission believes that by enhancing readability and ensuring
that the documentation of ICC's Stress Testing Framework remains up-to-
date, clear, and transparent, the clarification and clean-up changes
described above will promote the prompt and accurate clearance and
settlement of securities transactions and the safeguarding of
securities and funds within the meaning of Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the
Act.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Consistency With Rule 17Ad-22(b)(3)

    Rule 17Ad-22(b)(3) requires ICC to establish, implement, maintain
and enforce written policies and procedures reasonably designed to
maintain sufficient financial resources to withstand, at a minimum, a
default by the two participant families to which it has the largest
exposure in extreme but plausible market conditions.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(b)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that the proposed changes to the Stress
Testing Framework described above provide further clarity and
transparency regarding ICC's stress testing practices by strengthening
the documentation surrounding ICC's stress testing methodology through
the introduction of the cover-2 concepts earlier in the document,
updates to stress testing terminology to maintain uniformity, and
providing additional clarity on the reporting of stress testing
scenarios.
    The Commission further believes that these proposed revisions
enhance ICC's approach to identifying potential weaknesses in the risk
management system with changes to procedures related to the
identification and remediation of poor stress testing performance.
Specifically, as described above, the proposed changes more clearly
define the scenarios corresponding to the Historically Observed and
Hypothetically Constructed Extreme but Plausible Scenarios and, with
respect to stress results, specify that it considers hypothetical
losses on a cover-2 basis and cross-references a section on remediation
of poor stress testing performance. The Commission therefore believes
that these proposed changes support ICC's ability to maintain
sufficient financial resources to withstand, at a minimum, a default by
the two CP families to which it has the largest exposures in extreme
but plausible market conditions, consistent with the requirements of
Rule 17Ad-22(b)(3).\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

C. Consistency With Rule 17Ad-22(d)(8)

    Rule 17Ad-22(d)(8) requires ICC to establish, implement, maintain
and enforce written policies and procedures reasonably designed to have
governance arrangements that are clear and transparent to fulfill the
public interest requirements in Section 17A of the Act \12\ applicable
to clearing agencies, to support the objectives of owners and
participants, and to promote the effectiveness of the clearing agency's
risk management procedures.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(d)(8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As described above, the proposed changes clarify the frequency at
which stress testing results are reviewed and discussed as well as the
actions taken upon identification of poor testing results. Further, the
proposed changes describe the involvement of the Chief Risk Officer,
Risk Oversight Officer, Risk Department, Risk Working Group, the Risk
Committee, and the Board in addressing poor stress testing results. The
Commission believes that by making such clarifications, the proposed
changes strengthen the governance arrangements set forth in the Stress
Testing Framework by clearly documenting responsibility for the
identification and remediation of poor stress testing performance. As
such, the Commission believes that these governance arrangements are
consistent with the requirements of Rule 17Ad-22(d)(8).\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(d)(8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    On the basis of the foregoing, the Commission finds that the
proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act,
and in particular, with the requirements of Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the
Act \15\ and Rules 17Ad-22(b)(3) and 17Ad-22(d)(8) thereunder.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
    \16\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(b)(3) and 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(d)(8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is therefore ordered pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act
\17\ that the proposed rule change (SR-ICC-2019-005) be, and hereby is,
approved.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
    \18\ In approving the proposed rule change, the Commission
considered the proposal's impact on efficiency, competition, and
capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).

under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) when discarded.
This final rule added regulations for the management of hazardous waste
pharmaceuticals by healthcare facilities and reverse distributors.
Healthcare facilities (for both humans and animals) and reverse
distributors now manage their hazardous waste pharmaceuticals under a
new set of sector-specific standards in lieu of the existing hazardous
waste generator regulations. These regulations are found in 40 CFR 266,
Subpart P, and are mandatory. The new requirements include labeling
containers holding non-creditable hazardous waste pharmaceuticals and
evaluated hazardous waste pharmaceuticals with the words ``Hazardous
Waste Pharmaceuticals''. Healthcare facilities and reverse distributors
must also track or manage rejected shipments by sending a copy of the
manifest to the designated facility that returned or rejected the
shipment. Additionally, healthcare facilities and reverse distributors
must submit exception reports for a missing copy of a manifest. Reverse
distributors are required to amend their contingency plan under 40 CFR
262 Subpart M. A reverse distributor must submit an unauthorized
hazardous waste report if it receives waste it is not authorized to
receive.

    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are the private sector.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (RCRA Section 3001).
    Estimated number of respondents: 13,373.
    Frequency of response: Annual.
    Total estimated burden: 43,577 hours. Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $2,543,409, which includes $2,543,409
annualized labor costs and $0 annualized capital or O&M costs.
    Changes in Estimates: The burden hours are expected to decrease as
some of the burden associated with the rule have been incorporated into
other existing ICRs.

    Dated: October 5, 2021.

MET Laboratories, Inc.: Grant of Renewal of Recognition

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In this notice, OSHA announces the final decision to grant
renewal of recognition to MET Laboratories, Inc. as a Nationally
Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).

DATES: The renewal of recognition becomes effective on March 5, 2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Information regarding this notice is
available from the following sources:
    Press inquiries: Contact Mr. Frank Meilinger, Director, OSHA Office
of Communications, U.S. Department of Labor, telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>;
email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    General and technical information: Contact Mr. Kevin Robinson,
Director, Office of Technical Programs and Coordination Activities,
Directorate of Technical Support and Emergency Management, Occupational
Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, phone:
(202) 693-2110 or email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    OSHA hereby gives notice that it is granting the renewal of
recognition of MET Laboratories, Inc. (MET) as a NRTL under 29 CFR
1910.7
    OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies that the organization meets
the requirements in Section 1910.7 of Title 29, Code of Federal
Regulations (29 CFR 1910.7). Recognition is an acknowledgment that the
organization can perform independent safety testing and certification
of the specific products covered within the scope of recognition and is
not a delegation or grant of government authority. As a result of
recognition, employers may use products properly approved by the NRTL
to meet OSHA standards that require testing and certification. OSHA
maintains an informational web page for each NRTL that details the
scope of recognition available at http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html.
    OSHA processes applications submitted by an NRTL for renewal of
recognition following requirements in Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. OSHA
conducts renewals in accordance with the procedures in 29 CFR 1910.7,
App. A II.C. In accordance with these procedures, NRTLs submit a
renewal request to OSHA between nine months and one year before the
expiration date of the current recognition. A renewal request includes
a request for renewal and any additional information demonstrating
their continued compliance with the terms of the recognition and 29 CFR
1910.7. If OSHA has not conducted an on-site assessment of the NRTL
headquarters and any key sites within the past 18 to 24 months, it will
schedule the necessary on-site assessment prior to the expiration date
of the NRTL's recognition. Upon review of the submitted material and,
as necessary, the successful completion of the on-site assessment, OSHA
announces the preliminary decision to grant or deny renewal in the
Federal Register and solicits comments from the public. OSHA then
publishes a final Federal Register notice responding to any comments
and renewing the NRTL's recognition for a period of five years, or
denying the renewal of recognition.
    MET initially received OSHA recognition as a NRTL on May 16, 1989
(54 FR 21136). MET's most recent renewal was granted on July 14, 2014,
for a five-year period ending on July 14, 2019. MET submitted a timely
request for renewal, dated September 5, 2018 (OSHA-2006-0028-0058), and
retains its recognition pending OSHA's final decision in this renewal
process. The current address of the MET facility recognized by OSHA and
included as part of the renewal request is: MET Laboratories, Inc., 914
West Patapsco Avenue, Baltimore, Maryland 21230.
    OSHA evaluated MET's application for renewal and made a preliminary
determination that MET can continue to meet the requirements prescribed
by 29 CFR 1910.7 for recognition.
    OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing MET's renewal
application in the Federal Register on July 13, 2020 (85 FR 42012). The
agency requested comments by July 28, 2020, and received no comments in
response to this notice. OSHA is now proceeding with this final notice
to renew MET's NRTL recognition.
    To obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to
the MET application, go to www.regulations.gov or contact the Docket
Office, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department
of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW, Room N-3655, Washington, DC
20210; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>. Docket No. OSHA-2006-0028 contains all
materials in the record concerning MET's NRTL recognition. Please note:
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Docket Office is closed to the public
at this time but can be contacted at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

II. Final Decision and Order

    OSHA hereby gives notice of the renewal of recognition of MET as a
NRTL. OSHA examined MET's renewal application and all pertinent
information related to MET's request for renewal of NRTL recognition.
Based on this review of the renewal request and other pertinent
information, OSHA finds that MET meets the requirements of 29 CFR
1910.7 for renewal of recognition as a NRTL, subject to the specified
limitation and conditions. OSHA limits the renewal of MET's recognition
to include the terms and conditions of MET's recognition found in 54 FR
21136. The NRTL scope of recognition for MET is also available on the
OSHA website at: https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/met.html. This
renewal extends MET's recognition

as a NRTL for a period of five years from March 5, 2021.

A. Conditions

    In addition to those conditions already required by 29 CFR 1910.7,
MET must abide by the following conditions of recognition:
    1. MET must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any
change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major
change in their operations as a NRTL, and provide details of the
change(s);
    2. MET must meet all the terms of their recognition and comply with
all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
    3. MET must continue to meet the requirements for recognition,
including all previously published conditions on MET's scope of
recognition, in all areas for which it has recognition.
    Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA hereby renews the
recognition of MET as a NRTL.

III. Authority and Signature

    Amanda L. Edens, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for
Occupational Safety and Health, 200 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington,
DC 20210, authorized the preparation of this notice. Accordingly, the
agency is issuing this notice pursuant to 29 U.S.C. 657(g)(2)),
Secretary of Labor's Order No. 8-2020 (85 FR 58393, Sept. 18, 2020),
and 29 CFR 1910.7.

    Signed at Washington, DC, on March 1, 2021.

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Secondary Aluminum Production (40 CFR part 60,
subpart RRR) apply to secondary aluminum production facilities that are
major sources of hazardous air pollutants

(HAP) either commencing construction, or reconstruction, after the date
of proposal. This includes facilities that operate aluminum scrap
shredders, thermal chip dryers, scrap dryers/delacquering kilns/
decoating kilns, group 1 furnaces, group 2 furnaces, sweat furnaces,
dross only furnaces, rotary dross coolers, and secondary aluminum
processing units (SAPUs). The SAPUs include group 1 furnaces and in-
line fluxers. The regulations also apply to secondary aluminum
production facilities that are area sources of HAP only with respect to
emissions of dioxins/furans (D/F) from thermal chip dryers, scrap
dryers/delacquering kilns/decoating kilns, group 1 furnaces, sweat
furnaces, and SAPUs. New facilities include those that commenced
construction, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This
information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part
63, subpart RRR.
    The 2015 rule amendments included a requirement to report
performance testing through the Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT);
provisions allowing owners and operators to change furnace
classifications; requirements to account for unmeasured emissions
during compliance testing for group 1 furnaces that do not have add-on
control devices; alternative compliance options for the operating and
monitoring requirements for sweat furnaces; compliance provisions for
hydrogen fluoride; provisions addressing emissions during periods of
startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM); and other corrections and
clarifications to the applicability, definitions, operating, monitoring
and performance testing requirements. The 2016 rule amendments amended
the 2015 rule to clarify requirements for initial performance tests and
submittal of malfunction reports, provide an additional option for
group 1 furnaces to account for unmeasured emissions during compliance
testing, clarify what constitutes a change in furnace operating mode,
and updates the Web addresses for the EPA's Electronic Reporting Tool
(ERT) and Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface (CEDRI).
    In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the
affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the
operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the
monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and
records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of
all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Secondary aluminum production
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart RRR).
    Estimated number of respondents: 161 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 12,400 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $5,520,000 (per year), which includes
$4,110,000 in either annualized capital/startup and/or operation &
maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is also an adjustment decrease in
the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory
of Approved Burdens. The decrease is not due to any program changes.
The change is due to correction of a mathematical error identified in
the burden associated with the time required for facilities to
refamiliarize with the regulatory requirements each year. The previous
ICR stated that it would take each respondent one hour to read and
understand the reporting requirements, but inadvertently included
additional hours; the current ICR has been corrected to reflect one
hour for this activity. The overall result is a slight decrease in
burden hours.

closed position of 4 feet at mean high water and 7 feet at mean low
water. The drawbridge operation regulations are listed at 33 CFR
117.211(b).
    The bridge rarely opens December through April except for testing.
    The waterway users are recreational vessels of various sizes that
do not operate during the winter months when this deviation will be in
effect.
    The owner of the bridge, Connecticut Department of Transportation,
requested a temporary deviation from the regulations to facilitate a
major bridge rehabilitation project.
    During the bridge rehabilitation the bridge will be locked in the
closed position and inoperable for any bridge openings.
    The Coast Guard contacted the waterway users regarding the bridge
closure and no objections were received.
    Under this temporary deviation the Route 1 Bridge may remain in the
closed position from December 1, 2011 through April 15, 2012.
    Vessels that can pass under the bridge in the closed position may
do so at any time.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the bridge must return to its
regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated
time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: October 18, 2011.

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

    All of the applicable fees covered by this filing are identical to
fees charged by the Exchange for all other Premium Products.
Specifically, the Exchange is proposing to adopt an execution fee for
all transactions in options on IYF, KOL, KRE, DIG, SRS, SMN, VAW, VNQ,
VUG, VEA, VWO and RKH.\10\ The amount of the execution fee for products
covered by this filing shall be $0.18 per contract for all Public
Customer Orders \11\ and Firm Proprietary orders. The amount of the
execution fee for all ISE Market Maker transactions shall be equal to
the execution fee currently charged by the Exchange for ISE Market
Maker transactions in equity options.\12\ Finally, the amount of the
execution fee for all non-ISE Market Maker transactions shall be $0.45
per contract.\13\ Further, since options on IYF, KOL, KRE, DIG, SRS,
SMN, VAW, VNQ, VUG, VEA, VWO and RKH are multiply-listed, the
Exchange's Payment for Order Flow fee shall apply to all these
products. The

Exchange believes the proposed rule change will further the Exchange's
goal of introducing new products to the marketplace that are
competitively priced.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ These fees will be charged only to Exchange members. Under
a pilot program that is set to expire on July 31, 2009, these fees
will also be charged to Linkage Principal Orders (``Linkage P
Orders'') and Linkage Principal Acting as Agent Orders (``Linkage P/
A Orders''). The amount of the execution fee charged by the Exchange
for Linkage P Orders and Linkage P/A Orders is $0.24 per contract
side and $0.15 per contract side, respectively. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 58143 (July 11, 2008), 73 FR 41388 (July
18, 2008) (SR-ISE-2008-52).
    \11\ Public Customer Order is defined in Exchange Rule
100(a)(39) as an order for the account of a Public Customer. Public
Customer is defined in Exchange Rule 100(a)(38) as a person or
entity that is not a broker or dealer in securities.
    \12\ The Exchange applies a sliding scale, between $0.01 and
$0.18 per contract side, based on the number of contracts an ISE
market maker trades in a month.
    \13\ The amount of the execution fee for non-ISE Market Maker
transactions executed in the Exchange's Facilitation and
Solicitation Mechanisms is $0.19 per contract.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (b) Basis--The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with the objectives of section 6 of the Act,\14\ in general,
and furthers the objectives of section 6(b)(4),\15\ in particular, in
that 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.

the Act.

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