[FFP Project 45 LLC; Project No. 12937-002]

Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and
Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On February 1, 2011, FFP Project 45 LLC filed an application,
pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study
the feasibility of hydropower on the Mississippi River, in Mississippi
County, Arkansas and Dyer County Tennessee. The sole purpose of a
preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority
to file a license application during the permit term. A preliminary
permit does not authorize the permit holder to perform any land-
disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by
others without the owners' express permission.
    The proposed Huffman Light hydrokinetic project would consist of
the following: (1) Up to 1,900 SmarTurbine generating units installed
in arrays on the bottom of the river; (2) the total capacity of the
installation would be up to 76,000 kilowatts; (3) flexible cables would
convey each array's power to a metering station; and (4) a transmission
line would interconnect with the power grid. The proposed project would
have an average annual generation of 166,440,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh),
which would be sold to a local utility.

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

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

Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and

    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

2.12(b).

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

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder that
are applicable to a national securities exchange, and, in particular,
with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\5\ In particular, the
proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\6\ because it
would promote just and equitable principles of trade, remove
impediments to, and perfect the mechanism of, a free and open market
and a national market system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    Specifically, the proposed rule change will allow the Exchange to
continue receiving inbound routes of equities orders from BATS Trading
acting in its capacity as a facility of BZX, in a manner consistent
with prior approvals and established protections. The Exchange believes
that extending the previously approved pilot period for six months will
permit both the Exchange and the Commission to further assess the
impact of the Exchange's authority to receive direct inbound routes of
equities orders via BATS Trading, including the attendant obligations
and conditions.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The Exchange plans to submit a proposal prior to the
expiration of the new pilot period to make permanent the Exchange's
authority to receive direct inbound routes of equities orders via
BATS Trading.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change imposes
any burden on competition.

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 written comments on
the proposed rule change.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not significantly
affect the protection of investors or the public interest, does not
impose any significant burden on competition, and, by its terms, does
not 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 \8\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). 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 satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day
operative delay. The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest
because it would permit the Exchange to continue receiving inbound
routes of equities orders from BATS Trading, in a manner consistent
with prior approvals and established protections.\10\ The Commission
believes that waiver of the operative delay is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest because such waiver
would allow the pilot period to be extended without undue delay through
April 15, 2012 while the Exchange's proposal to make the pilot
permanent is under consideration.\11\ Therefore, the Commission
designates the proposal operative upon filing.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See SR-BYX-2011-026, Item 7.
    \11\ See supra note 7.
    \12\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
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 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.
