[EPA-R06-OAR-2019-0438; FRL-10000-92-Region 6]

Air Plan Approval; Arkansas; Interstate Transport Requirements
for the 2010 1-Hour SO2 NAAQS

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act), the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving the portion of
Arkansas's State Implementation Plan (SIP) submittal addressing two of
the CAA interstate transport requirements for the 2010 Sulfur Dioxide
(SO2) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). EPA is
determining the Arkansas SIP contains adequate provisions to ensure
that the air emissions in the state will not significantly contribute
to nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of the 2010
SO2 NAAQS in any other state.

DATES: This rule is effective on November 18, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and
``our'' means the EPA.

I. Background

    On March 24, 2017, Arkansas submitted, through the Arkansas
Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), a revision to its SIP to
satisfy the infrastructure requirements of section 110(a)(2) of the CAA
for the 2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS, including the interstate
transport requirements of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I). On February 14,
2018 (83 FR 6470), EPA approved Arkansas's infrastructure SIP submittal
for the 2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS for all applicable elements of
section 110(a)(2) with the exception of 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) and the
portion of 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) that pertains to visibility protection.
On August 8, 2019, the EPA published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) to approve the portions of the March 24, 2017 submittal from the
state of Arkansas as meeting the interstate transport requirement of
the CAA requirements that the Arkansas SIP includes adequate provisions
prohibiting any emissions activity in the state that will contribute
significantly to nonattainment, or interferes with maintenance, of the
2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS in any downwind state. A detailed
analysis of the State's submittals analysis and rationale for approval
of the submittal were provided in the NPRM and will not be restated
here. The public comment period for this proposed rulemaking ended on
September 9, 2019. The EPA received one anonymous comment in favor/
support of our proposed action. A copy of the comment is included in
the docket of this rulemaking. We did not receive any adverse comments
regarding our proposal. No response to comment is required.

II. Final Action

    The EPA is approving the portions of the Arkansas's March 24, 2017
SIP that address two of the interstate transport requirements for the
2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS as these portions meet the
requirements in CAA section 110 and specifically in 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I).
EPA determines that the Arkansas SIP contains adequate provisions to
ensure that the air emissions in the State will not significantly
contribute to nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of the 2010
SO2 NAAQS in any other state. This action is being taken
under section 110 of the Act.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, 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, the EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. 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 Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735,

October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
     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 CAA; and
     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).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    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 December 17, 2019. 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).)

[Release No. 34-83091; File No. SR-NASDAQ-2018-029]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change to
Rule 4120 To Correct a Citation

April 23, 2018.
    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 April 11, 2018, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (``Nasdaq'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II 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 proposes to change Rule 4120 to correct a citation.
    The text of the proposed rule change is set forth below. Proposed
new language is italicized; deleted text is in brackets.

* * * * *

4120. Limit Up-Limit Down Plan and Trading Halts

pursuant to FINRA Form 211 immediately prior to the initial pricing,
provided that a broker-dealer serving in the role of financial
advisor to the issuer of the securities being listed is willing to

performed by an underwriter with respect to an initial public
offering.
    (10) No change.
* * * * *

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
    Nasdaq is proposing to correct a rule reference found in Rule 4120.

    In 2014, Nasdaq amended Rule 4120(c) to modify the parameters for
releasing securities for trading upon the termination of a trading halt
in a security that is the subject of an initial public offering.\3\ As
part of this amendment, Nasdaq modified the functions that are
performed by an underwriter under former Rule 4120(c)(7)(B) with
respect to an initial public offering and renumbered such rule to Rule
4120(c)(8). However, Nasdaq inadvertently did not update a reference in
Rule 4120(c)(9) to former Rule 4120(c)(7)(B) to reflect such
renumbering.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 73399 (October 21,
2014), 79 FR 63981 (October 27, 2014) (approving SR-NASDAQ-2014-81).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Accordingly, Nasdaq proposes to amend the reference in Rule
4120(c)(9) to correctly cite to Rule 4120(c)(8).
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\4\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\5\ in particular, in that it is designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, 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.
The proposed rule change is consistent with these provisions in that it
will eliminate confusion about Nasdaq rules by updating an inaccurate
cross-reference, without changing the substance of the rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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 not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change will
have no impact on competition as it merely eliminates potential
confusion by clarifying the existing rule without changing its
substance.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or 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 from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \6\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \7\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). As required under Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange provided the Commission with written
notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a
brief description and the text of 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the
Act \8\ normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date
of its filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \9\ permits the
Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange
has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that
the proposal may become operative immediately upon filing. Waiver of
the operative delay would allow the Exchange to immediately correct a
rule reference and thus eliminate any potential confusion caused by the
currently incorrect rule reference. The Commission believes that waiver
of the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. Therefore, the Commission hereby
waives the 30-day operative delay and designates the proposal operative
upon filing.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \10\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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. Report on the New System

A. Background

    The Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, requires that each agency
publish a notice of the existence and character of each new or altered
``system of records.'' 5 U.S.C. 552a(a)(5). This Notice identifies and
describes the Commission's new system of records. A copy of this report
has been distributed to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and
the President of the Senate as the Act requires. The Commission has
adopted a new system of records under the Privacy Act of 1974. This
system does not duplicate any existing agency system. The notice
includes for the system of records the name; location; categories of
individuals on whom the records are maintained; categories of records
in the system; authority for maintenance of the system; each routine
use; the policies and practices governing storage, retrievability,
access controls, retention and disposal; the title and business address
of the agency official responsible for the system of records;
procedures for notification, access and contesting the records of each
system; and the sources for the records in the system. 5 U.S.C.
552(a)(4).

B. New System of Records

FERC-57 FEDERAL PERSONNEL AND PAYROLL SYSTEM (FPPS)

FERC-57 SYSTEM NAME:
    Federal Personnel and Payroll System (FPPS).

SECURITY CLASSIFCATION:
    Unclassified.

SYSTEM LOCATION:
    Automated personnel records are maintained in the Federal Personnel
Payroll System (FPPS) managed by the National Business Center, U.S.
Department of the Interior, 7301 West Mansfield Avenue, MS D-2400,
Denver, CO 80235.

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:
    Current and former employees.

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
    Employee name, employee address, employee phone numbers, employee
emergency contact information (including name, address and phone
number), employee Social Security Number and organizational code;
employee common identifier (ECI), pay rate, grade, length of service,
individual's pay and leave records; source documents for posting time
and leave attendance; allowances, and cost distribution records;
deductions for Medicare, Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance
(OASDI, also known as Social Security), bonds, Federal Employees Group
Life Insurance (FEGLI), union dues, taxes, allotments, quarters,
retirement, charities, health benefits, Flexible Spending Account, Long
Term Care, Thrift Savings Fund contributions, awards, shift schedules,
and pay differentials, tax lien data, commercial garnishments, child
support and/or alimony wage assignments; and related payroll and
personnel data. Also included is information on debts owed to the
government as a result of overpayment, refunds owed, or a debt referred
for collection on a transferred employee or emergency worker. The
payroll, attendance, retirement, and leave records described in this
notice form a part of the information contained in the Department of
the Interior's integrated Federal Personnel and Payroll System (FPPS).
Personnel records contained in the FPPS are covered under the
government-wide system of records notice published by the Office of

    The official personnel records provide basic data for preparation
and verification of personnel reports and documents. They also provide
a comprehensive and continuing record of each employee's service,
status, skills, and personnel history, for use in the merit promotion
program, reduction in force program, and to effect other personnel
actions. Automated records are used to generate reports and listings,
produce standard personnel management documents, establish and verify
entitlements to pay and benefits, and provide historical data. The
payroll, attendance, and leave records provide for fiscal operations
for payroll, time and attendance, leave, insurance, tax, retirement,
debt, budget, and cost accounting programs; to prepare related reports
to FERC's parent agency, the Department of Energy; and other Federal
agencies including the Department of the Treasury and the Office of
Personnel Management; for reporting purposes by the FERC; and for human
capital management purposes.

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

    (a) The Exchange proposes to amend the Supplementary Material to
Chapter V, Section 18 (The Price Improvement Period ``PIP'') of the
Rules of the Boston Options Exchange Group, LLC (``BOX'') to extend a
pilot program that permits BOX to have no minimum size requirement for
orders entered into the PIP and under certain circumstances permits the
premature termination of the PIP process (``PIP Pilot Program''). The
text of the proposed rule change is available from the principal office
of the Exchange, at the Commission's Public Reference Room and also on
the Exchange's Internet Web site at http://nasdaqomxbx.cchwallstreet.com/NASDAQOMXBX/Filings/.

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 self-regulatory organization
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 self-regulatory organization
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 purpose of the proposed rule change is to extend the PIP Pilot
Program under the BOX Rules for twelve (12) additional months. The PIP
Pilot Program allows BOX to have no minimum size requirement for orders
entered into the PIP process and under certain circumstances permits
the premature termination of the PIP process.\5\ The proposed rule
change retains the text of Supplementary Material .01 to Section 18 of
Chapter V of the BOX Rules and seeks to extend the operation of the PIP
Pilot Program until July 18, 2011.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Pilot Program is currently set to expire on July 17,
2010. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 60337 (July 17, 2009),
74 FR 36805 (July 24, 2009) (SR-BX-2009-38). See also Securities and
Exchange Act Release Nos. 58942 (November 13, 2008), 73 FR 70394
(November 20, 2008) (SR-BSE-2008-49); 58195 (July 18, 2008), 73 FR
43801 (July 28, 2008) (SR-BSE-2008-39); 55999 (July 2, 2007), 72 FR
37549 (July 10, 2007) (SR-BSE-2007-27); 54066 (June 29, 2006), 71 FR

69 FR 2775 (January 20, 2004) (SR-BSE-2002-15) (``Original PIP Pilot
Program Approval Order''); and 51821 (June 10, 2005), 70 FR 35143
(June 16, 2005) (SR-BSE-2004-51) (Order approving, among other
things, under certain circumstances the premature termination of a
PIP process).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange notes that the PIP Pilot Program provides small
customer orders with benefits not available under the rules of some
other exchanges. One of the important factors of the PIP Pilot Program
is that it guarantees Participants the right to trade with their
customer orders that are less than 50 contracts. In particular, any
order entered into the PIP is guaranteed an execution at the end of the
auction at a price at least equal to the national best bid or offer.
    In further support of this proposed rule change, and as required by
the Original PIP Pilot Program Approval Order, the Exchange represents
that BOX has been submitting to the Exchange and to the Commission a
PIP Pilot Program Report, offering detailed data from, and analysis of,
the PIP Pilot Program. Although BOX is submitting the reports, the
Exchange notes that it is also responsible for the timeliness and the
accuracy of the information.
    To aid the Commission in its evaluation of the PIP Pilot Program,
BOX has represented to the Exchange that BOX will provide the following
additional information each month: (1) The number of orders of 50
contracts or greater entered into the PIP auction; (2) The percentage
of all orders of 50 contracts or greater sent to BOX that are entered
into BOX's PIP auction; (3) The spread in the option, at the time an
order of 50 contracts or greater is submitted to the PIP auction; (4)
Of PIP trades for orders of fewer than 50 contracts, the percentage
done at the National Best Bid or Offer (``NBBO'') plus $.01, plus $.02,
plus $.03, etc.; (5) Of PIP trades for orders of 50 contracts or
greater, the percentage done at the NBBO plus $.01, plus $.02, plus
$.03, etc.; (6) The number of orders submitted by Order Flow Providers
(``OFPs'') when the spread was $.05, $.10, $.15, etc. For each spread,
BOX will specify the percentage of contracts in orders of fewer than 50
contracts submitted to BOX's PIP that were traded by: (a) The OFP that
submitted the order to the PIP; (b) BOX Market Makers assigned to the
class; (c) other BOX Participants; (d) Public Customer Orders
(including Customer PIP Orders (``CPOs'')); and (e) unrelated orders
(orders in standard increments entered during the PIP). For each
spread, BOX will also specify the percentage of contracts in orders of
50 contracts or greater submitted to BOX's PIP that were traded by: (a)
The OFP that submitted the order to the PIP; (b) BOX Market Makers
assigned to the class; (c) other BOX Participants; (d) Public Customer
Orders (including CPOs); and (e) unrelated orders (orders in standard
increments entered during PIP); (7) For the first Wednesday of each
month: (a) The total number of PIP auctions on that date; (b) the
number of PIP auctions where the order submitted to the PIP was fewer
than 50 contracts; (c) the number of PIP auctions where the order
submitted to the PIP was 50 contracts or greater; (d) the number of PIP
auctions (for orders of fewer than 50 contracts) with 0 participants
(excluding the initiating participant), 1 participant (excluding the
initiating participant), 2 participants (excluding the initiating
participant), 3 participants (excluding the initiating participant), 4
participants (excluding the initiating participant), etc., and (e) the
number of PIP auctions (for orders of 50 contracts or greater) with 0
participants (excluding the initiating participant), 1 participant
(excluding the initiating participant), 2

participants (excluding the initiating participant), 3 participants
(excluding the initiating participant), 4 participants (excluding the
initiating participant), etc.; and (8) For the third Wednesday of each
month: (a) the total number of PIP auctions on that date; (b) the
number of PIP auctions where the order submitted to the PIP was fewer
than 50 contracts; (c) the number of PIP auctions where the order
submitted to the PIP was 50 contracts or greater; (d) the number of PIP
auctions (for orders of fewer than 50 contracts) with 0 participants
(excluding the initiating participant), 1 participant (excluding the
initiating participant), 2 participants (excluding the initiating
participant), 3 participants (excluding the initiating participant), 4
participants (excluding the initiating participant), etc., and (e) the
number of PIP auctions (for orders of 50 contracts or greater) with 0
participants (excluding the initiating participant), 1 participant
(excluding the initiating participant), 2 participants (excluding the
initiating participant), 3 participants (excluding the initiating
participant), 4 participants (excluding the initiating participant),
etc.
2. Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act,\6\ in general, and Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\7\ in particular, in that it is designed 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 for a free and open market and a national market
system and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
The Exchange believes that the data demonstrates that there is
sufficient investor interest and demand to extend the PIP Pilot Program
for an additional twelve (12) months. The Exchange represents that the
Pilot Program is designed to provide investors with real and
significant price improvement regardless of the size of the order.

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

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

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\9\
Because the 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) by its terms, become
operative prior to 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such
shorter time as the Commission may designate, if consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest, the proposed rule
change has become effective upon filing with the Commission pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
thereunder.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii). In addition, Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) requires the Exchange to give the Commission written
notice of the Exchange's intent to file the proposed rule change,
along with a brief description and text of 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 met this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day
operative delay period. The Commission believes that waiver of the 30-
day operative delay period is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest because such waiver will allow the
PIP Pilot program to continue without interruption. Accordingly, the
Commission designates the proposed rule change operative upon filing
with the Commission.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ For purposes only of waiving the operative delay for this
proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact
on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate 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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

    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 January 22, 2018, Nasdaq BX, Inc. (``BX'' or ``Exchange'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which
Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing
this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from
interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend Exchange Rules 7030, 7034, and 7051,
as described below.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at http://nasdaqbx.cchwallstreet.com/, at the principal office
of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for

the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant 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 several sections of its Rules to
harmonize its colocation, connectivity, and direct connectivity
services and fees with those of its sister exchanges, including The
Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (``Nasdaq''), Nasdaq ISE, LLC (``Nasdaq ISE''),
Nasdaq MRX, LLC (``Nasdaq MRX''), and Nasdaq GEMX, LLC (``Nasdaq
GEMX'') (collectively, the ``Nasdaq, Inc. Exchanges'').\3\ The Exchange
also proposes to update or eliminate certain obsolete or extraneous
language from its Rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ In the near future, Nasdaq PHLX LLC (``Phlx'') plans to file
a proposal with the Commission to make similar conforming changes to
its rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Nasdaq, Inc. Exchanges offer certain colocation, connectivity,
and direct connectivity services to their customers on a shared basis,
meaning that a customer may utilize these services to gain access to
any or all of the Nasdaq, Inc. Exchanges. The Nasdaq, Inc. Exchanges
only charge customers once for these shared services, even to the
extent that customers use the services to connect to more than one of
the Nasdaq, Inc. Exchanges.
    The amendments that the Exchange proposes herein are intended
principally to ensure that the shared services that the Exchange
offers, and the fees that it charges for such services, are uniform
across the Nasdaq, Inc. Exchanges' rulebooks and reflect relevant
changes that have been made already to the rules of other Nasdaq, Inc.
Exchanges. The amendments also remove certain language from the
Exchange's Rules that refers to obsolete terms or expired time-limited
programs or that is otherwise extraneous.
    First, the Exchange proposes to amend Rule 7030(d), entitled
``Testing Facilities,'' to eliminate extraneous provisions that were
inadvertently and erroneously included in the Rule but have no intended
meaning or purpose there. These provisions are subsections (d)(2)-
(d)(3). Subsection (d)(2) defines terms, such as ``Active Connection,''
``Idle Connection,'' and ``Period of Inactivity,'' that are not
utilized elsewhere in the Rule, Subsection (d)(3) lists exceptions to
the testing fees that are not applicable to the Exchange's Test
Facility. The Exchange proposes that existing subsection (d)(4) be
renumbered as new subsection (d)(2). The Exchange also proposes that
new subsection (d)(2) delete reference to an obsolete waiver of
installation fees for installations ordered prior to March 2014.
Lastly, the Exchange proposes to clarify that connectivity to the
Exchange's testing facility will also provide for connectivity to the
testing facilities of any or all of the other Nasdaq, Inc. Exchanges,
including those of not only Nasdaq and Phlx (as is stated in the
existing Rule), but also those of Nasdaq ISE, Nasdaq MRX, and Nasdaq
GEMX.
    Second, the Exchange proposes to amend BX Rule 7034, which lists
the schedule of fees that the Exchange charges for colocation services,
to harmonize that schedule with the existing rules of other Nasdaq,
Inc. Exchanges, including Nasdaq Rule 7034, Chapter VI.E of the Nasdaq
ISE Schedule of Fees, Chapter IV.A of the Nasdaq MRX Schedule of Fees,
and Chapter IV.F of the Nasdaq GEMX Schedule of Fees. The proposed
changes are as follows:
     The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 7034(a), under the
heading ``Cabinet with Power,'' to update the installation and monthly
fees it charges to customers to rent powered cabinet space in its
colocation facilities. The proposed changes are as follows: (i) For
super high density cabinets, the Exchange proposes to decrease its
installation fee from $7,000 to $4,500 and its monthly fee from $13,000
to $8,000; (ii) for high density cabinets, it proposes to decrease its
monthly fee from $7,000 to $4,500; (iii) for medium-high density
cabinets, it proposes to decrease its monthly fees from $6,000 to
$3,500; (iv) for medium density cabinets, it proposes to decrease its
monthly fees from $5,000 to $2,500; (v) for low density cabinets, it
proposes to decrease its monthly fees from $4,000 to $2,000; and (vi)
for half cabinets, it proposes to decrease its monthly fees from $3,000
to $2,000. These changes will render this subsection of the Rules
consistent with the existing rules of other Nasdaq, Inc. Exchanges,
including Nasdaq Rule 7034(a), Chapter VI.E of the Nasdaq ISE Schedule
of Fees, Chapter IV.A of the Nasdaq MRX Schedule of Fees, and Chapter
IV.F of the Nasdaq GEMX Schedule of Fees.
     The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 7034(a) to remove the
paragraph entitled ``Temporary Fee Reduction for Cabinets with Power,''
as this fee reduction program has expired.
     The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 7034(b), under the
heading ``External Telco/Inter-Cabinet Connectivity,'' to update the
monthly fees it charges for external telecommunications and inter-
cabinet connectivity, as follows: (i) For a category 6 cable patch, a
DS-3 connection, and a fiber connection, the Exchange proposes to
increase its monthly fees from $300 to $350; and (ii) for a POTS Line,
the Exchange proposes to increase the monthly fee from $0 to $50. These
changes will render this paragraph of the Rules consistent with a
corresponding paragraph in the existing rules of other Nasdaq, Inc.
Exchanges, including Nasdaq Rule 7034(b), Chapter VI.E of the Nasdaq
ISE Schedule of Fees, Chapter IV.A of the Nasdaq MRX Schedule of Fees,
and Chapter IV.F of the Nasdaq GEMX Schedule of Fees.
     The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 7034(b), under the
heading ``Connectivity to BX,'' to update the fees it charges for fiber
connectivity to the Exchange, as follows: (i) For a 10Gb fiber
connection to the Exchange, the Exchange proposes to increase the
monthly fee from $5,000 to $10,000; (ii) for a 40Gb fiber connection to
the Exchange, it proposes to increase the monthly fee from $15,000 to
$20,000; (iii) for a 1Gb fiber connection to the Exchange, it proposes
to increase the monthly fee from $1,000 to $2,500; (iv) for a 1Gb
copper connection to the Exchange, it proposes to increase the monthly
fee from $1,000 to $2,500; (v) the Exchange proposes to add a 1Gb Ultra
fiber connection to the Exchange for an installation fee of $1,500 and
a monthly fee of $2,500; and (vi) the Exchange proposes to remove
obsolete language regarding an expired fee waiver program. These
changes will render this paragraph of the Rules consistent with
corresponding paragraphs in the existing rules of other Nasdaq, Inc.
Exchanges, including Nasdaq Rule 7034(b), Chapter VI.E of the Nasdaq
ISE Schedule of Fees, Chapter IV.A of the Nasdaq MRX Schedule of Fees,
and Chapter IV.F of the Nasdaq GEMX Schedule of Fees. The Exchange also
proposes an amendment to this provision to clarify that connectivity to
the Exchange will also provide for connectivity to any or all of the
other Nasdaq, Inc. Exchanges, including not only Nasdaq and Phlx (as
the existing Rule provides), but also Nasdaq ISE, Nasdaq MRX, and
Nasdaq GEMX. This proposal mirrors existing language in Chapter VI.E of
the Nasdaq

ISE Schedule of Fees, Chapter IV.A of the Nasdaq MRX Schedule of Fees,
and Chapter IV.F of the Nasdaq GEMX Schedule of Fees.
     The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 7034(b) to add a new
paragraph under a heading entitled ``Connectivity to Third Party
Services.'' This proposed paragraph will provide for connectivity via
colocation to market data feeds from other markets and exchanges,\4\
Securities Information Processors (``SIPs'') \5\ data, and other non-
exchange services. The proposed connectivity and associated fees are as
follows: (i) For a 10Gb Ultra fiber connection, the Exchange proposes
to charge a $1,500 installation fee and an ongoing monthly fee of
$5,000; (ii) for a 1Gb Ultra fiber connection, it proposes to charge a
$1,500 installation fee and an ongoing monthly fee of $2,000; and (iii)
for a 1Gb Ultra or a 10Gb Ultra connection for UTP only, it proposes to
charge a $100 installation fee and an ongoing monthly fee of $100. All
of the foregoing fees will be waived for two connections per client to
UTP SIP feeds only (UQDF and UTDF). The Exchange notes that the
proposed paragraph parallels the existing rules of other Nasdaq, Inc.
Exchanges, including Nasdaq Rule 7034(b), Chapter VI.E of the Nasdaq
ISE Schedule of Fees, Chapter IV.A of the Nasdaq MRX Schedule of Fees,
and Chapter IV.F of the Nasdaq GEMX Schedule of Fees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ For example, Third Party Connectivity will support
connectivity to the FINRA/Nasdaq Trade Reporting Facility, BZX and
BYX Depth Feeds, and NYSE Feeds. A customer must separately
subscribe to the third party services to which it connects with a
Third Party Connectivity subscription.
    \5\ The SIPs link the U.S. markets by processing and
consolidating all protected bid/ask quotes and trades from every
registered exchange trading venue and FINRA into a single data feed,
and they disseminate and calculate critical regulatory information,
including the National Best Bid and Offer, Limit Up Limit Down price
bands, short sale restrictions and regulatory halts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 7034(b), under the
heading ``Market Data Connectivity,'' to add prefatory language that
exists in the analogous portion of Nasdaq Rule 7034(b). The language
merely notes that the Market Data feeds listed in the provision are
delivered to the Nasdaq Data Center via a fiber optic network.
Additionally, the Exchange proposes to re-categorize and update the
names of the certain CBOE/Bats/Direct Edge data feeds insofar as the
names listed in the current Rule are obsolete. Similarly, the Exchange
proposes to delete a $1,000 installation fee that presently applies to
the Direct Edge feeds insofar as the Direct Edge feeds are now
offerings of CBOE, along with the BZX and BYX feeds. Going forward, a
single, one-time $1,000 installation fee will apply to subscribers to
any or all of the CBOE data feeds.
     The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 7034(b) to add a new
paragraph that will provide for multicast market data feeds from other
markets to be delivered to the Exchange's customers via wireless
microwave or millimeter wave networks. The Exchange notes that Nasdaq
already provides such data feeds to its customers pursuant to an
analogous paragraph in Nasdaq Rule 7034(b). The proposed data feeds,
and their corresponding installation and monthly fees, are as follows:
(i) NYSE Equities (Arca Integrated), for an installation fee of $5,000
and a monthly fee of $10,000; (ii) NYSE Equities (NYSE Integrated), for
an installation fee of $5,000 and a monthly fee of $10,000; (iii) BATS
Multicast PITCH (BZX and BYZ), for an installation fee of $2,500 and a
monthly fee of $7,500; (iv) Direct EDGE Depth of Book (EDGA, EDGX), for
an installation fee of $2,500 and a monthly fee of $7,500; (v) CME
Multicast Total (including CME Equities Futures Data, CME Fixed Income
Futures Data, and CME Metal Futures Data), for an installation fee of
$5,000 and a monthly fee of $23,500; (vi) CME Equities Futures Data
Only, for a $5,000 installation fee and a monthly fee of $10,000; (vii)
CME Fixed Income Futures Data Only, for a $5,000 installation fee and a
monthly fee of $10,000; and (viii) CME Metals Futures Data Only, for a
$5,000 installation fee and a monthly fee of $3,500.\6\ As to the
monthly fee for these services, the proposal provides that subscribers
will receive discounts based upon the number of subscriptions they
maintain.\7\ The Exchange proposes to add this paragraph to render the
Rules consistent with corresponding paragraphs in the existing rules of
other Nasdaq, Inc. Exchanges, including Nasdaq Rule 7034(b), Chapter
VI.E of the Nasdaq ISE Schedule of Fees, Chapter IV.A of the Nasdaq MRX
Schedule of Fees, and Chapter IV.F of the Nasdaq GEMX Schedule of Fees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The Exchange proposes to charge subscribers to any or all of
the CME Data Feeds a single $5,000 installation fee. In other words,
a subscriber to the CME Fixed Income Futures Data Feed and the CME
Metals Futures Data Feed will only pay a single $5,000 installation
fee for access to both feeds.
    \7\ The proposed Rule paragraph provides that subscribers with
three to five microwave or millimeter wave wireless subscriptions
under Rule 7015 and/or Rule 7034(b) will receive a 5% discount on
all such subscriptions. Meanwhile, subscribers with six to ten
microwave or millimeter wave wireless subscriptions under Rule 7015
and/or Rule 7034(b) will receive a 10% discount on all such
subscriptions. Subscribers with eleven to fourteen microwave or
millimeter wave wireless subscriptions under Rule 7015 and/or Rule
7034(b) will receive a 15% discount on all such subscriptions.
Finally, subscribers with fifteen or more microwave or millimeter
wave wireless subscriptions under Rule 7015 and/or Rule 7034(b) will
receive a 20% discount on all such subscriptions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 7034(d), under the
heading ``Additional Charges/Services,'' to update the installation fee
it charges for super high density cabinet kits. Specifically, the
Exchange proposes to decrease the fee from $7,000 to $4,500. This
change will render this paragraph of the Rules consistent with
corresponding paragraphs in the existing rules of other Nasdaq, Inc.
Exchanges, including Nasdaq Rule 7034(d), Chapter VI.E of the Nasdaq
ISE Schedule of Fees, Chapter IV.A of the Nasdaq MRX Schedule of Fees,
and Chapter IV.F of the Nasdaq GEMX Schedule of Fees, entitled
``Additional Items.''
    Third, the Exchange proposes to amend Rule 7051, entitled ``Direct
Connectivity to BX.'' This Rule describes the means by which customers
may connect directly to the Exchange's main or satellite data centers
via a third party vendor's telecommunications circuit. The proposed
changes to this Section are as follows:
     The Exchange proposes to update the structure of Rule 7051
so that it will parallel the structure of the existing rules of other
Nasdaq, Inc. Exchanges, including Nasdaq Rule 7051, Chapter VI.F, G,
and H of the Nasdaq ISE Schedule of Fees, Chapter IV.B, C, and D of the
Nasdaq MRX Schedule of Fees, and Chapter IV.G, H, and I of the Nasdaq
GEMX Schedule of Fees. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to place the
existing text of Rule 7051 into a subsection (a), to be entitled
``Direct Circuit Connection to BX.'' It also proposes to add two
additional subsections, as described below.
     The Exchange proposes to amend the text of Rule 7051 (as
reorganized in proposed subsection (a) and re-titled ``Direct Circuit
Connection to BX'') so that it is fully consistent with the existing
rules of other Nasdaq, Inc. Exchanges, including Nasdaq Rule 7051(a),
Chapter VI.F of the Nasdaq ISE Schedule of Fees, Chapter IV.B of the
Nasdaq MRX Schedule of Fees, and Chapter IV.G of the Nasdaq GEMX
Schedule of Fees in terms of both the direct circuit connections that
it offers to its customers as well as the associated fees that it
charges for such connections. The proposed changes are as follows: (i)
For 10Gb direct circuit connections to BX, the Exchange proposes to
increase the installation fee from $1,000 to

$1,500 and the monthly fee from $5,000 to $7,500; (ii) for 1Gb direct
circuit connections to BX, the Exchange proposes to increase the
installation fee from $1,000 to $1,500 and the monthly fee from $1,000
to $2,500; (iii) the Exchange proposes to add a 1Gb Ultra direct
circuit connection for an installation fee of $1,500 and a monthly fee
from $2,500; and (iv) the Exchange proposes to clarify that direct
circuit connectivity to the Exchange will also provide for direct
circuit connectivity to any or all of the other Nasdaq, Inc. Exchanges,
including not only Nasdaq and Phlx (as the existing Rule provides), but
also Nasdaq ISE, Nasdaq MRX, and Nasdaq GEMX.
     The Exchange proposes to add a new subsection (b) to Rule
7051, entitled ``Direct Circuit Connection to Third Party Services.''
Through this subsection, which is an analogue to the existing rules of
other Nasdaq, Inc. Exchanges, including Nasdaq Rule 7051(b), Chapter
VI.G of the Nasdaq ISE Schedule of Fees, Chapter IV.C of the Nasdaq MRX
Schedule of Fees, and Chapter IV.H of the Nasdaq GEMX Schedule of Fees,
the Exchange will offer its customers direct circuit connections to
third party services, including the same third party services to which
it proposes to connect customers through colocation, as set forth in
proposed Rule 7034(b) (described above). Specifically, the Exchange
proposes to offer the following services and charge the following fees
for them: (i) A 10Gb Ultra direct circuit connection for an
installation fee of $1,500 and a monthly fee of $5,000; (ii) a 1Gb
Ultra direct circuit connection for an installation fee of $1,500 and a
monthly fee of $2,000; (iii) a 1Gb Ultra or 10Gb direct circuit
connection (for UTP only) for an installation fee of $100 and a monthly
fee of $100; (iv) an optional cable router for a $925 installation fee;
and (v) a monthly fee of $150 per ``U'' of cabinet space rented. For
direct circuit connectivity to UTP SIP feeds only, the installation and
monthly fees will be waived for the first two connections.
    The Exchange proposes to add a new subsection (c) to Rule 7051,
entitled ``Point of Presence (POP) Connectivity.'' This subsection,
which is an analogue to the existing rules of other Nasdaq, Inc.
Exchanges, including Nasdaq Rule 7051(c), Chapter VI.H of the Nasdaq
ISE Schedule of Fees, Chapter IV.D of the Nasdaq MRX Schedule of Fees,
and Chapter IV.I of the Nasdaq GEMX Schedule of Fees, provides for
customers to connect directly to the Exchange through a ``Point of
Presence'' or ``POP'' that is located at one of the Exchange's
satellite data centers, rather than in the Exchange's main data center.
Each such POP, in turn, has a fully redundant connection to the
Exchange's primary data center. The proposed services and associated
fees are as follows: (i) The Exchange proposes to offering a 10Gb POP
connection to BX for an installation fee of $1,500 and a monthly of
$7,500; (ii) it proposes to offer a 1Gb Ultra POP connection to BX for
an installation fee of $1,500 and a monthly fee of $2,500; and (iii)
the Exchange proposes to state that the POP connectivity provided under
this subsection also applies to connectivity to any or all of the other
Nasdaq, Inc. Exchanges.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\8\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Sections
6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,\9\ 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, and is
not designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers,
issuers, brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that its proposals to update its schedule of
shared connectivity, direct circuit connectivity, and colocation
services that it provides in concert with its sister Nasdaq, Inc.
Exchanges, and for which the Nasdaq, Inc. Exchanges charge a single
fee, is reasonable insofar as the proposals will ensure that the
Exchange's Rules, as they apply to such services and fees, are
consistent with the applicable schedules and rules of other Nasdaq,
Inc. Exchanges, including Nasdaq, Nasdaq ISE, Nasdaq MRX, and Nasdaq
GEMX. In this regard, the Exchange notes that the proposed amendments
to its Rules largely reflect changes and updates that have been made
already to the schedules and rules of these other Nasdaq, Inc.
Exchanges. For example, each of the proposed changes to the Exchange's
connectivity, direct connectivity, and colocation fees will harmonize
the Exchange's fees with those of Nasdaq, Nasdaq ISE, Nasdaq MRX, and
Nasdaq GEMX.
    In a few instances, however, the Exchange proposes amendments to
its rules that are not reflected in the rules of the other Nasdaq, Inc.
Exchanges. These proposals seek to eliminate certain language from its
Rules that is extraneous, eliminate references to expired fee reduction
or waiver programs, update references to third party data feeds to
reflect their current names, and eliminate an obsolete installation fee
for Direct Edge data feeds. The Exchange believes that these proposals
are non-controversial because it serves the interests of the public and
investors for the Exchange to maintain a current and accurate Rulebook
and because the proposals will not impact competition or limit access
to or availability of the Exchange or its systems.
    The Exchange believes that the foregoing proposals provide for the
equitable allocation of fees because the connectivity and colocation
services to which these fees apply are shared services for which
customers pay once, regardless of whether the customers choose to use
these services to connect only to BX or also to any or all of the other
Nasdaq, Inc. Exchanges. Moreover, the other Nasdaq, Inc. Exchanges
already offer these shared services to their customers and do so at the
same prices that the Exchange now proposes to charge. As such, the
proposals will ensure that the fees that the Exchanges charges its
customers for shared services are the same fees that the other Nasdaq,
Inc. Exchanges charges their customers (including their customers who
are also BX Members) for the same shared services. In other words, the
proposals would ensure that a customer of the Exchange that wishes to,
say, purchase direct connectivity to all of the Nasdaq, Inc. Exchanges
will not pay more to do so through BX than it would pay if it purchased
that same connectivity from Nasdaq, and vice versa.
    The proposed fees and fee changes, moreover, are equitably
allocated because the proposals align these fees with the costs that
the Exchange incurs to provide the shared services, including the costs
of developing, installing, maintaining, and upgrading equipment and
systems relating to connectivity and colocation services. Finally, the
proposed fees are equitably allocated because all member firms that
subscribe to a particular connectivity option under the amended Rules
will be assessed the same fee.
    The proposals, similarly, are not unfairly discriminatory because
the shared services they entail will be available to all similarly
situated clients, while the fees and fee changes they entail will apply
uniformly to such clients to the extent that they choose to utilize the
shared services.

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 not necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act.
    In terms of inter-market competition, the Exchange 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, the Exchange
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 connect to third parties instead of
directly connecting to the Exchange, the Exchange believes that the
degree to which fee changes in this market may impose any burden on
competition is extremely limited.
    In this instance, the proposed changes to the charges assessed for
colocation, connectivity, and direct circuit connectivity are
consistent with the fees already assessed by other Nasdaq, Inc.
Exchanges for the same shared services. To the extent that any of these
fees are [sic] unattractive to market participants, it is likely that
the Exchange, and its sister Nasdaq, Inc. Exchanges, will lose market
share as a result. The Exchange does not believe that the proposed
changes will impair the ability of members or competing order execution
venues to maintain their competitive standing in the financial markets.
    Furthermore, the Exchange does not expect that its proposals to
eliminate or replace expired or obsolete language from its Rulebook
will have any impact on competition.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or 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 from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \10\ and
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \11\ 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: (i)
Necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the
protection of investors; or (iii) 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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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

    Abstract: The Emission Guidelines for Commercial and Industrial
Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) Units apply to any air quality program
in either a state or a United States protectorate with one or more
existing CISWI units. The guidelines can be thought of as model
regulations that States use in developing State plans to implement the
emission guidelines. If a state does not develop, adopt, and submit an
approvable state plan, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must
develop a Federal plan to implement the emission guidelines. These
regulations apply to existing CISWI units (units that

commenced construction on or before the date of proposal).
    In general, all Emissions Guidelines 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 with 40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of commercial
and industrial solid waste incineration units.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart DDDD).
    Estimated number of respondents: 78 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually, and
annually.
    Total estimated burden: 10,400 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $11,200,000 (per year), which includes
$10,000,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation &
maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the
estimated burden cost and number of responses. The adjustment increase
in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to an increase in
the number of sources anticipated to remain subject to the provisions
of Subpart DDDD since the last ICR renewal period, based on an
inventory maintained by OAQPS. Specifically, the prior ICR assumed that
a number of units in the incinerator subcategory would shut down based
on amendments to the rule. However, a recent inventory of sources
indicates that these incinerators remain in operation, and also
identifies additional facilities with units in the small remote
incinerators subcategory not previously included in the inventory. The
adjustment increase in burden is due to more accurate estimates of
existing sources. In addition, the burden hours were increased as a
result of accounting for burden for each respondent to refamiliarize
themselves with regulatory requirements each year.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
