SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-61958; File No. SR-OCC-2010-03]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Options Clearing Corporation;
Order Granting Approval of a Proposed Rule Change Relating to ETFS
Palladium Shares and ETFS Platinum Shares

April 22, 2010.

I. Introduction

    On March 1, 2010, The Options Clearing Corporation (``OCC'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission the proposed rule change
pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder \2\ to add ETFS Palladium
Shares and ETFS Platinum Shares to the interpretation following the
definition of ``fund share'' in Article I, Section 1 of OCC's By-Laws.
The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal
Register on March 18, 2010.\3\ No comment letters were received on the
proposal. This order approves the proposal.

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

II. Description of the Proposal

    The proposed rule change will add ETFS Palladium Shares and ETFS
Platinum Shares to the interpretation following the definition of
``fund share'' in Article I, Section 1 of OCC's By-Laws. The purpose of
this rule change is to remove any potential cloud on the jurisdictional
status of options or security futures on ETFS Palladium Shares or ETFS
Platinum Shares.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Commission recently approved a related rule change by
the Chicago Board Options Exchange to enable the listing and trading
of options on the EFTS Palladium Trust and the EFTS Platinum Trust.
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 61892 (Apr. 13, 2010), 75 FR
20649.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under the current proposed rule change, OCC will (i) clear and
treat as securities options any option contracts on ETFS Palladium
Shares and ETFS Platinum Shares that are traded on securities exchanges
and (ii) clear and treat as security futures any futures contracts on
ETFS Palladium Shares and ETFS Platinum Shares.
    In addition, in its capacity as a ``derivatives clearing
organization'' registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
(``CFTC''), OCC also filed this proposal for prior approval by the CFTC
pursuant to provisions of the Commodity Exchange Act (``CEA'') in order
to foreclose any potential liability under the CEA based on an argument
that the clearing by OCC of such options as securities options or the
clearing of such futures as security futures constitutes a violation of
the CEA.
    The products that are affected by this approval order are
essentially the same as the options and security futures on SPDR Gold
Shares, iShares COMEX Gold Shares, iShares Silver Shares, ETFS Physical
Swiss Gold Shares, and ETFS Physical Silver Shares that OCC currently
clears pursuant to rule changes approved by the Commission.\5\

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

III. Discussion

    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
derivative transactions.\6\ By amending its By-Laws to help clarify
that options on ETFS Palladium Shares and ETFS Platinum Shares that are
traded on securities exchanges will be treated and cleared as
securities options and that futures on ETFS Palladium and ETFS Platinum
shares will be treated as security futures, OCC's rule change should
help clarify the jurisdictional status of such contracts and
accordingly should help to promote the prompt and accurate clearance
and settlement of securities transactions and of derivative
transactions. In accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding
entered into between the CFTC and the Commission on March 11, 2008, and
in particular the addendum thereto concerning Principles Governing the
Review of Novel Derivative Products, the Commission believes that novel
derivative products that implicate areas of overlapping regulatory
concern should be permitted to trade in either a CFTC or Commission-
regulated environment or both in a manner consistent with laws and
regulations (including the appropriate use of all available exemptive
and interpretive authority).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 Section 17A of the Act \7\ and the rules and regulations
thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\8\ that the proposed rule change (File No. SR-OCC-2010-03) be and
hereby is approved.\9\

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R06-OAR-2005-NM-0009; FRL-9187-8]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
New Mexico; Revisions to Emissions Inventory Reporting Requirements,
and General Provisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is taking direct final action to approve revisions to
the New Mexico State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern
two separate actions. First, we are approving revisions to regulations
on Emission Inventories (EIs) submitted by stationary sources of air
pollutants. EIs are critical for the efforts of state, local, and
federal agencies to attain and maintain the National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS) that EPA has established for criteria
pollutants such as ozone, particulate matter, and carbon monoxide. The
revisions add new definitions; modify existing definitions; and require
stationary sources of air pollutants located in New Mexico outside of
Bernalillo County to report emissions location information,
PM2.5 emissions, and ammonia emissions to New Mexico
Environment Department (NMED). The revisions also allow NMED to require
speciation of hazardous air pollutants for emissions reporting. Second,
we are approving revisions to the New Mexico Administrative Code
(NMAC), 20.2.1 NMAC--General Provisions. We are adding a new definition
for Significant Figures into the New Mexico SIP. The EPA is approving
these two actions pursuant to section 110 of the Federal Clean Air Act
(CAA, Act).

DATES: This direct final rule will be effective October 12, 2010
without further notice unless EPA receives adverse comments by
September 13, 2010. If adverse comments are received, EPA will publish
a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule in the Federal Register
informing the public that the rule will not take effect.

I. What actions are we taking?
II. What is a SIP?
III. What is the background for these actions?
IV. What is EPA's evaluation of these revisions?
V. Final Action
VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. What actions are we taking?

A. Emission Inventories

    We are approving revisions to the New Mexico SIP submitted by the
State to meet the EI requirements of the CAA. The revisions were
submitted to EPA Region 6 on April 11, 2002, December 3, 2003, and
April 25, 2005.
    The revisions to part 20.2.73 NMAC (Notice of Intent and Emissions
Inventory Requirements) allow NMED to meet EPA's Air Emissions
Reporting Requirements (40 CFR Part 51, Subpart A). In addition, the
revisions will allow the NMED to collect more specific data regarding
Hazardous Air Pollutants. We are approving these SIP revisions pursuant
to section 110 of the CAA. The reporting of emissions and emissions-
related data will help NMED to attain and maintain the NAAQS. See
Chapter A of the TSD for more information.

B. General Provisions

    We received a SIP submittal package, with a letter dated April 8,
2010 from the Governor of New Mexico on behalf of the NMED, concerning
NMAC, Title 20 Environment Protection, Chapter 2 Air Quality, Part 1
General Provisions (20.2.1 NMAC--General Provisions). This submittal
revises the New Mexico SIP by adding a new section <IP_ADDRESS>
Significant Figures to the existing state rule 20.2.1 NMAC--General
Provisions. Adopting <IP_ADDRESS> Significant Figures should facilitate
calculating air emissions and determining compliance with an emission
standard. We are approving this SIP revision pursuant to section 110 of
the Act.

C. EPA's Action

    EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because we view
this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no relevant adverse
comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this Federal
Register publication, we are publishing a separate document that will
serve as the proposal to approve the SIP revision if relevant adverse
comments are received. This rule will be effective on October 12, 2010
without further notice unless we receive relevant adverse comments by
September 13, 2010. If we receive relevant adverse comments, we will
publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the
public that the rule will not take effect. We will then address all
public comments in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule.
However, we will not institute a second comment period on this action.
Any parties interested in commenting must do so now. Please note that
if we receive adverse comments on an amendment, paragraph, or section
of this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of
the rule, we may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are
not the subject of an adverse comment. Further, in accordance with a
Consent Decree, we will finalize our action on the Emissions Inventory
portion of this SIP revision no later than January 2, 2011\1\.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Notice of Proposed Settlement Agreement and Consent Decree,
75 FR 11886, March 12, 2010, and http://www.regulations.gov, docket
No. EPA-HQ-OGC-2010-0221.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. What is a SIP?

    Section 110 of the CAA requires states to develop air pollution
regulations and control strategies to ensure that air quality meets the
NAAQS established by EPA. NAAQS are established under section 109 of
the CAA, and currently address six criteria pollutants: carbon
monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, lead, particulate matter, and sulfur
dioxide.
    The SIP is a set of air pollution regulations, control strategies,
other means or techniques, and technical analyses developed by the
state, to ensure that the state meets the NAAQS.

The SIP is required by section 110 and other provisions of the CAA.
These SIPs can be extensive, containing state regulations or other
enforceable documents and supporting information such as emissions
inventories, monitoring networks, and modeling demonstrations. Each
state must submit these regulations and control strategies to EPA for
approval and incorporation into the federally-enforceable SIP. Each
federally-approved SIP protects air quality primarily by addressing air
pollution at its point of origin.

III. What is the background of these actions?

A. Emission Inventory

    Emissions inventories are surveys of actual and/or allowable
emissions of air pollutants in an area. Emissions inventories are
critical for the efforts of state, local, and federal agencies to
attain and maintain the NAAQS that EPA has established for criteria
pollutants such as ozone, particulate matter, and carbon monoxide.
States use emissions inventories submitted by stationary sources in
developing the inventories required by the Clean Air Act. In 2005, New
Mexico revised its SIP for air quality to amend the State regulations
on emissions inventories submitted by stationary sources of air
pollutants. The principal statutory authority for emissions inventory
reporting requirements is found in section 110(a)(2)(F) of the Act,
which provides that SIPs must require periodic reports on the nature
and amounts of emissions and emissions-related data as may be
prescribed by the EPA Administrator.
    On April 11, 2002 New Mexico submitted to EPA a SIP revision that
included an amendment to the NMAC regulation 20.2.73, Notice of Intent
and Emission Inventory Requirements, Section 7, Definitions, which
revised the definition of ``Potential Emission Rate''. On December 1,
2003 submitted another revision to the SIP that added three new
definitions to Section 7, and revised Section <IP_ADDRESS>0, Emission
Inventory Requirements, to require smelters to submit an annual report
of sulfur input in tons per year, and added emission tracking
requirements for sulfur dioxide emission inventories. In July 2004 NMED
proposed to revise the State's regulations on emissions inventories. On
April 25, 2005 New Mexico submitted SIP revisions that required sources
to report emissions location information, PM 2.5 and ammonia emissions,
and allowed NMED to require reporting of speciated hazardous air
pollutants.

B. General Provisions

    The purpose of the General Revisions (20.2.1 NMAC) is to establish
general requirements which apply to all parts of Chapter 2 (20.2.1
through 20.2.99 NMAC). We received a request to review and approve a
revision to the General Provisions (20.2.1 NMAC) with a letter dated
April 8, 2010. This submittal revises the New Mexico SIP by adding a
new section, <IP_ADDRESS>--Significant Figures, to the existing state
rule 20.2.1 NMAC--General Provisions. The previous version of the
20.2.1 NMAC--General Provisions was approved by EPA on September 26,
1997 (62 FR 50518) at 52.1620(c)(66) effective November 25, 1997. We
are approving this revision to the 20.2.1 NMAC--General Provisions as a
direct final action.

IV. What is EPA's evaluation of these revisions?

A. Emission Inventories

    New Mexico submitted revisions to 20.2.73 NMAC for inclusion into
the SIP that amend requirements on emissions inventories submitted by
stationary sources of air pollutants located in New Mexico outside of
Bernalillo County. The emissions inventory requirements for stationary
sources of air pollutants were revised to (1) include reporting on
emissions location information, PM2.5 emissions, and ammonia
emissions; and (2) allow NMED to require speciation of hazardous air
pollutants for emissions reporting. In 2002, EPA issued the
consolidated emissions reporting rule (CERR), (June 10, 2002 Federal
Register, 67 FR 39602). The rule consolidated the various emissions
reporting requirements that already exist into one place in the CFR,
established new reporting requirements related to particulate matter
less than or equal to 2.5 microns (PM2.5) and regional haze,
and established new requirements for the statewide reporting of area
source and mobile source emissions. On December 17, 2008, EPA issued
the Air Emissions Reporting Rule (73 FR 76539) which revised the
emissions reporting requirements. The requirements can be found at 40
CFR 51 Subpart A. We have evaluated the State's submittal and have
determined that the revisions meet the applicable requirements of the
CAA and EPA's regulations. For more information on our evaluation,
please see our Technical Support Document found in the electronic
docket at http://www.regulations.gov.
    Approval of these revisions will make New Mexico's emission
inventory requirements consistent with EPA's Air Emissions Reporting
Requirements and will make EPA's approved SIP consistent with the
State's rules.

B. General Provisions

    The revision to 20.2.1 NMAC--General Provisions, adds a new section
116, which sets forth the procedure to properly round significant
digits in an air emission calculation, and its reporting to the NMED.
These significant figures procedures will clarify any confusion with
regards to emission calculations and reporting of the values. Section
116 adopts the same significant figures procedures described in EPA's
June 6, 1990 Memorandum, from William G. Laxton, Technical Support
Division Director to John S. Seitz, Stationary Source Compliance
Division Director, entitled ``Performance Test Calculation
Guidelines.'' A copy of this guidance document is available in the EPA
docket No. EPA-R06-OAR-2005-NM-0009 for public inspection and review.
These significant figures procedures will assist the sources in
properly reporting air emissions, and assist the NMED's personnel in
determining sources' compliance with applicable emissions limitations.
This section should facilitate enforcement of the rules, and enhance
the New Mexico SIP.

V. Final Action

    Today we are approving revisions to two portions of the New Mexico
SIP. First, we are approving revisions to regulations on EIs submitted
by stationary sources of air pollutants, in three SIP revisions
submitted on April 11, 2002, December 1, 2003, and April 25, 2005. The
revisions add new definitions, modify existing definitions, and require
stationary sources of air pollutants located in New Mexico outside of
Bernalillo County to report emissions location to NMED. The revisions
also allow NMED to require speciation of hazardous air pollutants for
purposes of reporting. Second, we are approving revisions to the 20.2.1
NMAC--General Provisions. We are also adding a new definition for
Significant Figures into the New Mexico SIP, a revision that was
submitted on April 8, 2010. EPA is approving these two actions pursuant
to section 110 of the Act.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve

state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air
Act. Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting
Federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond
those imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act;
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994);
     Does not have tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the SIP
is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the State, and
EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law; and
     Is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2)
under the Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996. A major
rule cannot take effect until 60 days after it is published in the
Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule.''
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by October 12, 2010. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements (See section 307(b)(2) of the
Act.)

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-74258; File No. SR-NASDAQ-2015-008]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To
Modify NASDAQ Rule 7018 Fees

February 11, 2015.
    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 February 2, 2015, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (``NASDAQ'' or the
``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

    NASDAQ is proposing to modify NASDAQ Rule 7018 fees assessed for
execution and routing securities listed on NASDAQ, the New York Stock
Exchange (``NYSE'') and on exchanges other than NASDAQ and NYSE.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available at
nasdaq.cchwallstreet.com at NASDAQ's 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, NASDAQ 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 those statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant parts of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    NASDAQ is proposing to amend NASDAQ Rule 7018(a) to modify the fees
assessed under the rule for securities it trades priced at $1 or more.
Specifically, NASDAQ proposes to change the fee assessed for CART
orders in securities listed on NASDAQ (``Tape C''), NYSE (``Tape A'')
and on exchanges other than NASDAQ and the NYSE (``Tape B'')
(collectively, the ``Tapes''). In addition, NASDAQ is proposing to
change the fee assessed for orders in Tape A securities that are routed
to NYSE and then routed to another venue for execution. Lastly, NASDAQ
is proposing to change the fee assessed for orders in Tape B securities
that are routed to NYSEAmex or NYSEArca and then routed to another
venue for execution.
    CART is a routing option by which orders in securities of all Tapes
route to the NASDAQ OMX BX Equities Market (``BX'') then the NASDAQ OMX
PHLX PSX System (``PSX''), and then the System.\3\ The Exchange
currently assesses no charge for CART orders that execute on BX and
passes-through all fees assessed and rebates offered by PSX for such
orders. CART orders executed on PSX result in a pass through charge of
$0.0024 per share executed.\4\ The Exchange is proposing to now assess
a set charge of $0.0030 per share executed for CART orders in any Tape
security that executes on PSX in lieu of passing through credits and
rebates.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ If shares remain un-executed, they are posted to the book or
cancelled. Once on the book, should the order subsequently be locked
or crossed by another market center, the System will not route the
order to the locking or crossing market center. See Rule
4758(a)(1)(A)(xi).
    \4\ See NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC Pricing Schedule, Section
VIII(a)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange is also proposing to change the fees assessed for Tape
A securities routed to NYSE and then routed to another venue for
execution. The Exchange passes through any routing fees charged to
NASDAQ by NYSE for these orders, which currently is $0.0030 per share
executed but may vary based on changes to the NYSE fee schedule. NASDAQ
is proposing to eliminate pass through fees and assess a set fee of
$0.0030 per share executed. Similarly, NASDAQ is proposing to eliminate
pass through fees and assess a fee of $0.0030 per share executed for
orders in Tape B securities that are routed to NYSEAmex or NYSEArca and
then routed to another venue for execution. The Exchange currently
passes through any routing fees charged to NASDAQ by NYSEAmex or
NYSEArca for these orders, which currently is $0.0030 per share
executed but may vary based on changes to those exchanges' respective
fee schedules.
2. Statutory Basis
    NASDAQ believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with
the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,\5\ in general, and with
Sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,\6\ in particular, in that it
provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and
other charges among members and issuers and other persons using any
facility or system which the Exchange operates or controls, and 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
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest; and are not
designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers,
brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NASDAQ believes that the proposed changes to the charges assessed
for CART orders in securities of any Tape that execute on PSX are
reasonable because they eliminate discounted pricing from the fee
schedule and more closely aligns [sic] the fee received with the costs
associated with providing routing services. The Exchange incurs costs
in operating and supporting the routing function, which are in addition
to the fees of other exchanges that it incurs when a routed order
executes on another venue. To cover such costs, the Exchange assesses
the same fee as is being proposed for other routed orders, such as
STGY, SCAN, SKNY and SKIP orders, which are assessed a charge of
$0.0030 per share executed.\7\ Thus, the current pass through fee
results in a discount to the fee assessed for use of the routing
function for other routed orders. The Exchange notes that CART orders
that execute on BX are not assessed a charge, but rather the Exchange
receives a rebate from BX for the routed execution.\8\ The Exchange
also believes that the proposed changes are reasonable because they
remove complexity from the fee schedule and assess a fee that is not
dependent on knowing what the current liquidity removal rate is on PSX.
NASDAQ believes that the proposed changes to CART order fees are
equitably allocated because all member firms that receive an execution
on PSX will be assessed a fee that is more closely aligned with the
costs incurred by NASDAQ, as noted above. NASDAQ believes that the
proposed changes to CART order fees do not discriminate unfairly
because they eliminate a distinction in the fees whereby discounted
fees are charged for use of the Exchange's routing functionality.
Moreover, the proposed changes do not discriminate unfairly because
they eliminate a distinction in the routing fees whereby some fees are
fixed and others are based on fee assessed by other markets. As noted
above, most routing fees are based on a set fee, and are not tied to
the fees of other markets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ For a description of STGY, SCAN, SKNY and SKIP routing
strategies, see Rules 4758(a)(1)(A)(i) and (ii) [sic].
    \8\ BX provides rebates to market participants that remove
liquidity ranging from $0.0004 to $0.0015. See BX Rule 7018(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the change to eliminate pass through
fees for Tape A securities that are routed to NYSE and then routed to
another venue for execution, and the change to eliminate pass through
fees for Tape B securities that are routed to NYSEAmex and NYSEArca and
then routed to another venue for execution are reasonable because they
remove complexity from the fee schedule and assess a fee that is not
dependent on knowing what the current routing rates are on those
markets. Moreover, the proposed new fees are identical to the fees
assessed currently. The Exchange believes that the proposed fee changes
are equitably allocated because all member firms that receive an
execution on another venue in these securities will be assessed the
same fee. Lastly, the Exchange believes that the proposed

changes do not discriminate unfairly because they eliminate a
distinction in the routing fees whereby some fees are fixed and others
are based on fee assessed by other markets. As noted above, most of
NASDAQ's routing fees are based on a set fee, and are not tied to the
fees of other markets.

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

    NASDAQ does not believe that the proposed rule changes will result
in any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended.\9\ NASDAQ notes
that it operates in a highly competitive market in which market
participants can readily favor competing venues if they deem fee levels
at a particular venue to be excessive, or rebate opportunities
available at other venues to be more favorable. In such an environment,
NASDAQ must continually adjust its fees to remain competitive with
other exchanges and with alternative trading systems that have been
exempted from compliance with the statutory standards applicable to
exchanges. Because competitors are free to modify their own fees in
response, and because market participants may readily adjust their
order routing practices, NASDAQ believes that the degree to which fee
changes in this market may impose any burden on competition is
extremely limited. In this instance, the changes to routing fees and
credits do not impose a burden on competition because NASDAQ's routing
services are optional and are the subject of competition from other
exchanges and broker-dealers that offer routing services, as well as
the ability of members to use their own routing capabilities. The
increased fees for execution of CART orders on PSX are reflective of a
need to better align the fees received with the costs incurred in
operating and supporting the routing function. The proposed changes to
orders in certain Tape securities routed to NYSE, NYSEAmex, and
NYSEArca do not represent an increase or decrease in fees, but rather,
like the change to CART orders, removes [sic] an unnecessarily complex
process to determine the fee assessed with a set fee, which is
consistent with other NASDAQ routing fees. Under the current fees, a
member firm must know what the respective fee schedules of PSX, NYSE,
NYSEAmex and NYSEArca are at any given time. Thus, the changes will
simplify the fee schedule by providing certainty to the fee assessed.
For these reasons, NASDAQ does not believe that any of the proposed
changes will impair the ability of members or competing order execution
venues to maintain their competitive standing in the financial markets.
While the Exchange does not believe that the proposed changes will
result in any burden on competition, if the changes proposed herein are
unattractive to market participants it is likely that NASDAQ will lose
market share as a result.

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

    The foregoing change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act.\10\ 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.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 60

[EPA-HQ-OAR-2007-0011; FRL-9904-07-OAR]
RIN 2060-AS03

Standards of Performance for Petroleum Refineries for Which
Construction, Reconstruction, or Modification Commenced After May 14,
2007

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
amend the Standards of Performance for Petroleum Refineries for Which
Construction, Reconstruction, or Modification Commenced After May 14,
2007. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal
Register, we are amending the definition of ``delayed coking unit'' as
a direct final rule without a prior proposed rule. If we receive no
adverse comment, we will not take further action on this proposed rule.

DATES: Comments: Written comments must be received by February 3, 2014.
    Public Hearing: If anyone contacts EPA requesting to speak at a
public hearing by December 24, 2013, a public hearing will be held on
January 3, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-
OAR-2007-0011, by mail to Air and Radiation Docket (2822T), 1200
Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20460. Please include a total
of two copies. Comments may also be submitted electronically or through
hand delivery/courier by following the detailed instructions in the
ADDRESSES section of the direct final rule located in the rules section
of this Federal Register.
    We request that you also send a separate copy of each comment to
the contact person listed below (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Brenda Shine, Sector Policies and
Programs Division (E143-01), Office of Air Quality Planning and
Standards, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Research Triangle
Park, NC 27711; telephone number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax number: (919)
541-0246; and email address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>For information
about the applicability of the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS)
to a particular entity, contact Maria Malave, Office of Enforcement and
Compliance Assurance (OECA), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
telephone number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; and email
address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Why is the EPA issuing this proposed rule?

    This document proposes to take action on amendments to the
standards of performance for petroleum refineries at 40 CFR part 60,
subpart Ja. We are proposing to amend the definition of ``delayed
coking unit'' in 40 CFR 60.101a and to remove a redundant definition of
``delayed coking unit'' in that same section. We have published a
direct final rule revising the definition of ``delayed coking unit'' in
the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register because
we view this as a noncontroversial action and anticipate no adverse
comment. We have explained our reasons for this action in the preamble
to the direct final rule.
    If we receive no adverse comment and no request for a public
hearing on the parallel direct final rule, we will not take further
action on this proposed rule. If we receive adverse comment on a
distinct portion of the direct final rule, we will withdraw that
portion of the rule and it will not take effect. In this instance, we
would address all public comments in any subsequent final rule based on
this proposed rule.
    If we receive adverse comment on a distinct provision of the direct
final rule, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register
indicating which provisions we are withdrawing. The provisions that are
not withdrawn will become effective on the date set out in the direct
final rule, notwithstanding adverse comment on any other provision. We
do not intend to institute a second comment period on this action. Any
parties interested in commenting must do so at this time.
    The regulatory text for the proposal is identical to that for the
direct final rule published in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
this Federal Register. For further supplementary information, the
detailed rationale for the proposal and the regulatory revisions, see
the direct final rule published in a separate part of this Federal
Register.

II. Does this action apply to me?

    Categories and entities potentially regulated by this final rule
include:

guide for readers regarding entities likely to be regulated by this
direct final rule. To determine whether your facility would be
regulated by this action, you should examine the applicability criteria
in 40 CFR 60.100a. If you have any questions regarding the
applicability of this action to a particular entity, contact the person
listed in the preceding FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.
    Public Hearing. Persons interested in presenting oral testimony or
inquiring as to whether a hearing is to be held should contact Ms.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. RM93-11-000]

Revisions to Oil Pipeline Regulations Pursuant to the Energy
Policy Act of 1992; Notice of Annual Change in the Producer Price Index
for Finished Goods

May 14, 2009.
    The Commission's regulations include a methodology for oil
pipelines to change their rates through use of an index system that
establishes ceiling levels for such rates. The Commission bases the
index system, found at 18 CFR 342.3, on the annual change in the
Producer Price Index for Finished Goods (PPI-FG), plus one point three
percent (PPI+1.3). The Commission determined in an ``Order Establishing
Index for Oil Price Change Ceiling Levels'' issued March 21, 2006, that
PPI+1.3 is the appropriate oil pricing index factor for pipelines to
use.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 114 FERC ] 61,293 at P 2 (2006).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The regulations provide that the Commission will publish annually,
an index figure reflecting the final change in the PPI-FG, after the
Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes the final PPI-FG in May of each
calendar year. The annual average PPI-FG index figures were 166.6 for
2007 and 177.1 for 2008.\2\ Thus, the percent change (expressed as a
decimal) in the annual average PPI-FG from 2007 to 2008, plus 1.3
percent, is positive 0.076025.\3\ Oil pipelines must multiply their
July 1, 2008, through June 30, 2009, index ceiling levels by

positive 1.076025 \4\ to compute their index ceiling levels for July 1,
2009, through June 30, 2010, in accordance with 18 CFR 342.3(d). For
guidance in calculating the ceiling levels for each 12 month period
beginning January 1, l995,\5\ see Explorer Pipeline Company, 71 FERC
61,416 at n.6 (1995).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) publishes the final figure
in mid-May of each year. This figure is publicly available from the
Division of Industrial Prices and Price Indexes of the BLS, at (202)
691-7705, and in print in August in Table 1 of the annual data
supplement to the BLS publication Producer Price Indexes via the
Internet at http://www.bls.gov/ppi/home.htm. To obtain the BLS data,
scroll down to ``PPI Databases'' and click on ``Top Picks'' of the
Commodity Data (Producer Price Index--PPI). At the next screen,
under the heading ``Producer Price Index/PPI Commodity Data,''
select the first box, ``Finished goods--WPUSOP3000,'' then scroll
all the way to the bottom of this screen and click on Retrieve data.
    \3\ [177.1 - 166.6] / 166.6 = 0.063025 + .013 = 0.076025.
    \4\ 1 + 0.076025 = 1.076025.
