SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  On June 13, 2007, the Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) submitted a revision to
its SIP.  This SIP revision consists of a source-specific operating
permit issued by PADEP to establish and require RACT for Merck pursuant
to Pennsylvania’s SIP-approved generic RACT regulations.

I.  Background

Pursuant to sections 182(b)(2) and 182(f) of the CAA, the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania (the Commonwealth or Pennsylvania) is required to
establish and implement RACT for all major VOC and NOx sources.  The
major source size is determined by its location, the classification of
that area and whether it is located in the ozone transport region (OTR).
 Under section 184 of the CAA, RACT as specified in sections 182(b)(2)
and 182(f), applies throughout the OTR.  The entire Commonwealth is
located within the OTR.  Therefore, RACT is applicable statewide in
Pennsylvania.

SIP revisions imposing RACT for three classes of VOC sources are
required under section 182(b)(2) of the CAA.  The categories are:

(1) All sources covered by a Control Technique Guideline (CTG) document
issued between November 15, 1990 and the date of attainment;

(2) All sources covered by a CTG issued prior to November 15, 1990; and

(3) All major non-CTG sources.

The Pennsylvania SIP already has approved RACT regulations and
requirements for all sources and source categories covered by the CTGs.
The Pennsylvania SIP also has approved regulations to require major
sources of NOx and additional major sources of VOC emissions (not
covered by a CTG) to implement RACT.  These regulations are commonly
termed the (generic RACT regulations(.  A generic RACT regulation is one
that does not, itself, specifically define RACT for a source or source
categories but instead establishes procedures for imposing case-by-case
RACT determinations.  The Commonwealth(s SIP-approved generic RACT
regulations consist of the procedures PADEP uses to establish and impose
RACT for subject sources of VOC and NOx.  Pursuant to the SIP-approved
generic RACT rules, PADEP imposes RACT on each subject source in an
enforceable document, usually a plan approval (PA) or operating permit
(OP).  The Commonwealth then submits these PAs and OPs to EPA for
approval as source-specific SIP revisions.  EPA reviews these SIP
revisions to ensure that PADEP has determined and imposed RACT in
accordance with the provisions of the SIP-approved generic RACT rules.

It must be noted that the Commonwealth has adopted and is implementing
additional (post RACT requirements( to reduce seasonal NOx emissions in
the form of a NOx cap and trade regulation, 25 Pa Code Chapters 121 and
123, based upon a model rule developed by the States in the OTR.  That
regulation was approved as a SIP revision on June 6, 2000 (65 FR 35842).
 Pennsylvania has also adopted 25 Pa Code Chapter 145 to satisfy Phase I
of the NOx SIP call.  That regulation was approved as a SIP revision on
August 21, 2001 (66 FR 43795).  Federal approval of a source-specific
RACT determination for a major source of NOx in no way relieves that
source from any applicable requirements found in 25 Pa Code Chapters
121, 123 and 145.

II.  Summary of SIP Revision

Merck is a chemical process facility and is a major source of VOC and
NOx emissions located in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania.  The
Commonwealth(s submittal consists of an operating permit (OP-49-0007B)
that imposes VOC and NOx RACT requirements for Merck.  PADEP established
and imposed these RACT requirements in accordance with the criteria set
forth in its SIP-approved generic RACT regulations applicable to Merck.
In accordance with its SIP-approved generic RACT rule, the Commonwealth
has also imposed recordkeeping, monitoring, and testing requirements on
Merck sufficient to determine compliance with the applicable RACT
determinations.

III.  Proposed Action

EPA is proposing to approve the Pennsylvania SIP revision submitted by
PADEP on June 13, 2007 to establish and require VOC and NOx RACT for
Merck and Co., Inc. (OP-49-0007B) located in Northumberland County,
Pennsylvania, pursuant to the Commonwealth’s SIP-approved generic RACT
regulations.  EPA is soliciting public comments on this proposed rule to
approve this source-specific RACT determination established and imposed
by PADEP in accordance with the criteria set forth in its SIP-approved
generic RACT regulation applicable to Merck.  These comments will be
considered before taking final action.

IV.  Statutory and Executive Order Reviews   Under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this proposed action is not a
"significant regulatory action" and therefore is not subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget.  For this reason, this action is
also not subject to Executive Order 13211, "Actions Concerning
Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or
Use"  (66 Fed. Reg. 28355 (May 22, 2001)).  This action merely proposes
to approve state law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes no
additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law.  Accordingly,
the Administrator certifies that this proposed rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).  Because
this rule proposes to approve pre-existing requirements under state law
and does not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that required
by state law, it does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly
or uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-4).  This proposed rule also
does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes,
on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it have substantial direct effects
on the States, on the relationship between the national government and
the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among
the various levels of government, as specified in Executive Order 13132
(64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999), because it merely proposes to approve a
state rule implementing a Federal requirement, and does not alter the
relationship or the distribution of power and responsibilities
established in the CAA. This proposed rule also is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it approves
a state rule implementing a Federal standard.

In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA(s role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA.  In this context, in
the absence of a prior existing requirement for the State to use
voluntary consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority to disapprove
a SIP submission for failure to use VCS.  It would thus be inconsistent
with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a SIP submission, to use
VCS in place of a SIP submission that otherwise satisfies the provisions
of the CAA.  Thus, the requirements of section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do
not apply.  As required by section 3 of Executive Order 12988 (61 FR
4729, February 7, 1996), in issuing this proposed rule, EPA has taken
the necessary steps to eliminate drafting errors and ambiguity, minimize
potential litigation, and provide a clear legal standard for affected
conduct.  EPA has complied with Executive Order 12630 (53 FR 8859, March
15, 1988) by examining the takings implications of the rule in
accordance with the (Attorney General(s Supplemental Guidelines for the
Evaluation of Risk and Avoidance of Unanticipated Takings( issued under
the executive order.  This proposed rule approving the VOC and NOx RACT
determinations for Merck and Co., Inc. located in Northumberland County,
Pennsylvania, does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.).

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-81876; File No. SR-BatsBZX-2017-53]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Bats BZX Exchange, Inc.; Order
Granting Approval of a Proposed Rule Change To List and Trade Shares of
the WisdomTree CBOE Russell 2000 PutWrite Strategy Fund, a Series of
the WisdomTree Trust, Under Rule 14.11(c)(3) (Index Fund Shares)

October 16, 2017.

I. Introduction

    On August 18, 2017, Bats BZX Exchange, Inc. (``Exchange'' or
``BZX'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposed rule change to list and trade shares (``Shares'') of the
WisdomTree CBOE Russell 2000 PutWrite Strategy Fund (``Fund''). The
proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register
on September 7, 2017.\3\ The Commission has received no comments on the
proposal. This order approves the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 81510 (Aug. 31,
2017), 82 FR 42399 (``Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Exchange's Description of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to list and trade Shares of the Fund under
Rule 14.11(c), which governs the listing and trading of Index Fund
Shares on the Exchange. The Fund will be an index-based exchange-traded
fund (``ETF''). The Shares will be offered by the WisdomTree Trust
(``Trust''), which is registered with the Commission as an investment
company and has filed a registration statement on Form N-1A
(``Registration Statement'') with the Commission on behalf of the
Fund.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Post-Effective Amendment No. 595 to Registration
Statement on Form N-1A for the Trust, dated July 27, 2017 (File Nos.
333-132380 and 811-21864).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Fund will seek investment results that track the price and
yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the CBOE Russell 2000
PutWrite Index (``Index''), which was developed and is maintained by
the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Inc. (``CBOE'' or ``Index
Provider'').\5\ The Index consists

of only two components: RUT Puts and one-month Treasury bills. The
Index tracks the value of a passive investment strategy, which consists
of selling (writing) Russell 2000 Index put options (``RUT Puts'') and
investing the sale proceeds in one-month Treasury bills. All RUT Puts
are standardized options traded on CBOE.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ According to the Exchange, none of the Trust, WisdomTree
Asset Management, Inc. (``Adviser''), Mellon Capital Management
(``Sub-Adviser''), State Street Bank and Trust Company
(administrator, custodian, and transfer agent for the Fund), or
Foreside Fund Services, LLC (distributor for the Fund) is affiliated
with the Index Provider.
    \6\ The Exchange notes that CBOE is a member of the Intermarket
Surveillance Group (``ISG'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange submitted the proposed rule change because the Index
underlying the Fund does not meet all of the ``generic'' listing
requirements of Rule 14.11(c), and more specifically, the requirements
of Rule 14.11(c)(5) applicable to Index Fund Shares based on an Index
of component securities representing a combination of the equity and
the fixed income markets. Rule 14.11(c)(5) requires that the equity and
fixed income component securities separately meet the criteria set
forth in Rules 14.11(c)(3) and 14.11(c)(4), respectively. With respect
to the Fund, the Index does not meet all of the generic requirements of
Rule 14.11(c)(3) because the Index consists primarily of RUT Puts.\7\
The Exchange represents that the Shares will conform to the initial and
continued listing criteria under Rule 14.11(c), except that the Index
will not meet the requirements of Rule 14.11(c)(3) in that the Index
will consist of options based on equity securities (i.e., RUT Puts).\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ According to the Exchange, the fixed income security
component of the Index, which consists of only one-month Treasury
bills, meets the ``generic'' listing requirements of Rule
14.11(c)(4).
    \8\ As defined in Rule 14.11(c)(1)(D), the term ``U.S. Component
Stock'' shall mean an equity security that is registered under
Sections 12(b) or 12(g) of the Act, or an American Depositary
Receipt, the underlying equity security of which is registered under
Sections 12(b) or 12(g) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has made the following representations and statements
in describing the Fund and its investment strategies, including other
assets and investment restrictions.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Additional information regarding the Trust, the Fund, and
the Shares, including information relating to the underlying Index,
investment strategies, risks, net asset value (``NAV'') calculation,
creation and redemption procedures, fees, portfolio holdings
disclosure policies, distributions, and taxes, among other
information, is included in the Notice and the Registration
Statement, as applicable. See Notice, supra note 3 and Registration
Statement, supra note 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. Description of the Index Methodology

    The Index is based on a passive investment strategy that consists
of overlapping hypothetical investments in a single series of exchange-
listed RUT Puts over a money market account hypothetically invested in
one-month Treasury bills. Specifically, the Index hypothetically writes
at-the-money RUT Puts on a monthly basis, usually on the third Friday
of the month (``Roll Date''), which matches the expiration date of the
hypothetical RUT Puts. At each Roll Date, any settlement loss in the
Index based on the expiring RUT Puts is financed by the Treasury bill
account and a new batch of hypothetical at-the-money RUT Puts is sold.
Revenue from the sale of RUT Puts is added to the Index's hypothetical
Treasury bill account. On each Roll Date, the revenue from the
hypothetical sale of RUT Puts is hypothetically invested separately at
the one-month Treasury bill rate, and where applicable, any one-month
Treasury bills purchased in the prior month are deemed to mature and
hypothetically invested in new one-month Treasury bills at the one-
month Treasury bill rate. As stated above, all investments used to
determine Index value are hypothetical.

B. Principal Investments of the Fund

    The Fund seeks to track the performance of an underlying index, the
Index. Under Normal Market Conditions,\10\ the Fund will invest not
less than 80% of its assets in RUT Puts and one month or three-month
U.S. Treasury bills. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets
(in the aggregate) in other investments, that are not included in the
Index, but which the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser believes will help the
Fund to track the Index and that will be disclosed daily (as discussed
below, ``Other Assets''). The Fund's investment strategy will be
designed to write a sequence of one-month, at-the-money, RUT Puts and
invest cash and Other Assets targeted to achieve one-month Treasury
bill rates. The number of RUT Puts written will vary from month to
month, but will be limited to permit the amount held in the Fund's
investment in Treasury bills to finance the maximum possible loss from
final settlement of the RUT Puts. According to the Exchange, the Fund
will generally use a sampling strategy in seeking to track the Index.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The term ``Normal Market Conditions'' includes, but is not
limited to, the absence of trading halts in the applicable financial
markets generally; operational issues causing dissemination of
inaccurate market information or system failures; or force majeure
type events such as natural or man-made disaster, act of God, armed
conflict, act of terrorism, riot or labor disruption, or any similar
intervening circumstance. In response to adverse market, economic,
political, or other conditions, the Fund reserves the right to
invest in U.S. government securities, other money market instruments
(as defined below), and cash, without limitation, as determined by
the Adviser or Sub-Adviser. In the event the Fund engages in these
temporary defensive strategies that are inconsistent with its
investment strategies, the Fund's ability to achieve its investment
objectives may be limited.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The new RUT Puts will be struck and sold on a monthly basis on the
Roll Date, (i.e., the same Roll Date at that used by the Index), which
matches the expiration date of the current RUT Puts. The strike price
of the new RUT Puts will be based on the strike price of Russell 2000
Index put options listed on CBOE, with the closest strike price below
the last value of the Russell 2000 Index reported before 11:00 a.m. ET.
For example, if the last Russell 2000 Index value reported before 11:00
a.m. ET is 1,137.02 and the closest listed Russell 2000 Index put
option with a strike price below 1,137.02 is 1,130, then the 1,130
strike RUT put option will be sold by the Fund. RUT Puts are cash-
settled and trade in competitive auction markets with price and quote
transparency. According to the Exchange, Russell 2000 index options are
among the most liquid options in the U.S. and derive their value from
the actively traded Russell 2000 Index components.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ The Exchange states that Russell 2000 Index options traded
on CBOE are highly liquid, with average daily trading volume in 2016
of 71,365 contracts, with a notional size per contract of $117,169.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange represents that trading in the Shares and the
underlying Fund investments will be subject to the federal securities
laws and Exchange, CBOE, and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
(``FINRA'') rules and surveillance programs.\12\ In addition, the
Exchange has in place a surveillance program for transactions in ETFs
to ensure the availability of information necessary to detect and deter
potential manipulations and other trading abuses.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ The Exchange also notes that CBOE is a member of the Option
Price Regulatory Surveillance Authority, which was established in
2006, to provide efficiencies in looking for insider trading and
serves as a central organization to facilitate collaboration in
insider trading and investigations for the U.S. options exchanges.

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

C. Other Investments of the Fund

    The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets (in the aggregate)
in Other Assets. Other Assets includes only the following: Short-term,
high quality securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government and
non-U.S. governments,\13\ and each of their

agencies and instrumentalities, and U.S. government-sponsored
enterprises; repurchase agreements backed by U.S. government and non-
U.S. government securities; money market mutual funds; deposit and
other obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks and financial institutions
(``money market instruments''); \14\ Russell 2000 ETF put options; \15\
Russell 2000 Index futures and options on Russell 2000 Index futures;
\16\ total return swaps; \17\ other exchange traded products
(``ETPs''); \18\ non-exchange-traded registered open-end investment
companies (i.e., mutual funds); and variable or floating interest rate
securities.\19\ The foregoing investments include buying the derivative
instrument or selling the derivative instrument (i.e., writing the
applicable put option) and investing the proceeds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ The Treasury securities in which the Fund may invest will
include variable-rate Treasury securities, whose rates are adjusted
daily (or at such other increment as may later be determined by the
Department of the Treasury) to generally correspond with the rate
paid on one-month Treasury securities.
    \14\ All money market instruments acquired by the Fund will be
rated investment grade, except that a Fund may invest in unrated
money market instruments that are deemed by the Adviser or Sub-
Adviser to be of comparable quality to money market securities rated
investment grade. The term ``investment grade,'' for purposes of
money market instruments only, is intended to mean securities rated
A1 or A2 by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations.
    \15\ The Fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in over-the-
counter Russell 2000 put options.
    \16\ The Fund will limit its direct investments in futures and
options on futures to the extent necessary for the Adviser to claim
the exclusion from regulation as a ``commodity pool operator'' with
respect to the Fund under the rules promulgated by the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission, as such rules may be amended from time
to time. According to the Exchange, the exchange-listed futures
contracts in which the Fund may invest will be listed on exchanges
in the U.S. Each of the exchange-listed futures contracts in which
the Fund may invest will be listed on exchanges that are members of
ISG.
    \17\ The Fund may use total return swaps to create positions
equivalent to investments in RUT Puts and the component securities
underlying the Russell 2000 Index. The Fund's investments in total
return swap agreements will be backed by investments in U.S.
government securities in an amount equal to the exposure of such
contracts.
    \18\ The Fund may invest in shares of both taxable and tax-
exempted money market funds. When used herein, ETPs may include,
without limitation, Index Fund Shares (as described in Rule
14.11(c)); Linked Securities (as described in Rule 14.11(d));
Portfolio Depositary Receipts (as described in Rule 14.11(b));
Trust-Issued Receipts (as described in Rule 14.11(f)); Commodity-
Based Trust Shares (as described in Rule 14.11(e)(4)); Currency
Trust Shares (as described in Rule 14.11(e)(5)); Commodity Index
Trust Shares (as described in Rule 14.11(e)(6)); Trust Units (as
described in Rule 14.11(e)(9)); Managed Fund Shares (as described in
Rule 14.11(i)); and closed-end funds. All of the ETPs in which the
Fund may invest will be listed and traded on U.S. exchanges. The
Fund may invest in the securities of ETPs registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (``1940 Act'') consistent with the
requirements of Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act or any rule,
regulation, or order of the Commission or interpretation thereof.
The Fund will only make such investments in conformity with the
requirements of Section 817 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
The ETPs in which the Fund may invest will primarily be index-based
ETFs that hold substantially all of their assets in securities
representing a specific index. The Fund will not invest in leveraged
(e.g., 2X, -2X, 3X, or -3X) ETPs.
    \19\ The Fund may invest in securities (in addition to U.S.
Treasury securities, described above) that have variable or floating
interest rates which are readjusted on set dates (such as the last
day of the month) in the case of variable rates or whenever a
specified interest rate change occurs in the case of a floating rate
instrument. Variable or floating interest rates generally reduce
changes in the market price of securities from their original
purchase price because, upon readjustment, such rates approximate
market rates. Accordingly, as interest rates decrease or increase,
the potential for capital appreciation or depreciation is less for
variable or floating rate securities than for fixed rate
obligations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion and Commission's Findings

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the requirements of Section 6 of the Act \20\
and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national
securities exchange.\21\ In particular, the Commission finds that the
proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\22\ which
requires, among other things, that the Exchange's rules be 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 Commission also finds that the proposal to list and trade
the Shares on the Exchange is consistent with Section 11A(a)(1)(C)(iii)
of the Act,\23\ which sets forth Congress' finding that it is in the
public interest and appropriate for the protection of investors and the
maintenance of fair and orderly markets to assure the availability to
brokers, dealers, and investors of information with respect to
quotations for, and transactions in, securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \21\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \22\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \23\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1(a)(1)(C)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Quotation and last-sale information for the Shares and any ETPs in
which it invests will be available via the Consolidated Tape
Association (``CTA'') high-speed line. Quotation and last-sale
information for U.S. exchange-listed options contracts cleared by The
Options Clearing Corporation will be available via the Options Price
Reporting Authority. The intra-day, closing, and settlement prices of
exchange-traded portfolio assets, including ETPs, futures, and options
will be readily available from the securities exchanges and futures
exchanges trading such securities and futures, as the case may be,
automated quotation systems, published or other public sources, or
online information services such as Bloomberg or Reuters. Price
information on fixed income portfolio securities, including money
market instruments, and other Fund assets traded in the over-the-
counter markets, is available from major broker-dealer firms or market
data vendors, as well as from automated quotation systems, published or
other public sources, or online information services. In addition, the
value of the Index will be published by one or more major market data
vendors every 15 seconds during Regular Trading Hours \24\ on the
Exchange. Information about the Index constituents, the weighting of
the constituents, the Index's methodology, and the Index's rules will
be available at no charge on the Index Provider's Web site. In
addition, the Intraday Indicative Value (``IIV''), as defined in Rule
14.11(c)(3)(C), will be widely disseminated at least every 15 seconds
during Regular Trading Hours by one or more major market vendors.\25\
All Fund holdings will be included in calculating the IIV.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ As defined in Rule 1.5(w), the term ``Regular Trading
Hours'' means the time between 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. ET.
    \25\ According to the Exchange, several major market data
vendors display and/or make widely available IIV's taken from the
CTA or other data feeds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On each business day, before commencement of trading in Shares
during Regular Trading Hours on the Exchange, the Trust will disclose
on its Web site the following information regarding each portfolio
holding, as applicable to the type of holding: Ticker symbol, CUSIP
number or other identifier, if any; a description of the holding
(including the type of holding, such as the type of swap); the identity
of the security, index, or other asset or instrument underlying the
holding, if any; for options, the option strike price; quantity held
(as measured by, for example, par value, notional value, or number of
shares, contracts, or units); maturity date, if any; effective date, if
any; coupon rate, if any; market value of the holding; and the
percentage weighting of the holding in the Fund's portfolio. The Web
site information will be publicly available at no charge. Information
regarding market price and trading volume for the Shares will be
continually available on a real-time basis throughout the day on
brokers' computer screens and other electronic services. Information
regarding the previous day's closing price and trading

volume information for the Shares will be published daily in the
financial section of newspapers. The Trust's Web site, which will be
publicly available prior to the public offering of Shares, will include
a form of the prospectus for the Fund that may be downloaded and
additional quantitative information updated on a daily basis relating
to the Fund.
    In addition, a portfolio composition file, which will include the
security names and quantities of securities and other assets required
to be delivered in exchange for the Fund's Shares, together with
estimates and actual cash components, will be publicly disseminated
prior to the opening of the Exchange via the National Securities
Clearing Corporation. The portfolio will represent one Creation Unit of
the Fund. Authorized Participants may refer to the portfolio
composition file for information regarding RUT Puts, short-term U.S.
Treasury Securities, money market instruments, and any other instrument
that may constitute the Fund's portfolio on a given day. The NAV of the
Fund's Shares will be calculated once daily Monday through Friday as of
the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, generally
4:00 p.m. ET.
    The Commission further believes that the proposal to list and trade
the Shares is reasonably designed to promote fair disclosure of
information that may be necessary to price the Shares appropriately and
to prevent trading when a reasonable degree of transparency cannot be
assured. The Exchange will obtain a representation from the issuer of
the Shares that the NAV per Share will be calculated daily and that the
NAV and will be made available to all market participants at the same
time. Trading may be halted because of market conditions or for reasons
that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in the Shares
inadvisable.\26\ The Exchange states that it has a general policy
prohibiting the distribution of material, non-public information by its
employees. In addition, the Exchange states that the Index Provider is
not registered as an investment adviser or broker-dealer and is not
affiliated with any broker-dealers. The Exchange also represents that
the Adviser is not registered as, or affiliated with, any broker-
dealer. The Exchange represents that the Sub-Adviser is affiliated with
multiple broker-dealers and has implemented a ``fire wall'' with
respect to those broker-dealers and their personnel regarding access to
information concerning the composition of, and changes to, the Index.
In addition, Sub-Adviser personnel who make decisions regarding the
Fund's portfolio are subject to procedures designed to prevent the use
and dissemination of material, non-public information regarding the
Fund's portfolio. According to the Exchange, the Adviser and the Index
Provider represent that a fire wall exists around the respective
personnel who have access to information concerning changes and
adjustments to the Index.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \26\ These may include: (1) The extent to which trading is not
occurring in the securities or the financial instruments composing
the daily disclosed portfolio of the Fund; or (2) whether other
unusual conditions or circumstances detrimental to the maintenance
of a fair and orderly market are present. With respect to trading
halts, the Exchange may consider all relevant factors in exercising
its discretion to halt or suspend trading in the Shares of the Fund.
Trading in the Shares also will be subject to Rule
14.11(c)(1)(B)(iv), which sets forth circumstances under which
Shares of a Fund may be halted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange represents that the Shares will be subject to the
existing trading surveillances, which are designed to detect violations
of Exchange rules and federal securities laws applicable to trading on
the Exchange. The Exchange further represents that these procedures are
adequate to properly monitor the trading of the Shares on the Exchange
during all trading sessions and to deter and detect violations of
Exchange rules and the applicable federal securities laws. Moreover,
prior to the commencement of trading, the Exchange will inform its
members in an Information Circular of the special characteristics and
risks associated with trading the Shares.
    The Commission notes that the Shares and the Fund must comply with
the initial and continued listing criteria in Rule 14.11(c) for the
Shares to be listed and traded on the Exchange. In addition, the
Commission notes it has previously approved a proposal to list and
trade shares of an ETF that employs a very similar strategy.\27\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \27\ See, e.g., Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 74675 (Apr.
8, 2015), 80 FR 20038 (Apr. 14, 2015) (SR-NYSEArca-2015-05) (order
approving proposed rule change to list shares of the WisdomTree Put
Write Strategy Fund); and 77045 (Feb. 3, 2016), 81 FR 6916 (Feb. 9,
2016) (SR-NYSEArca-2015-113) (order approving a proposed rule change
relating to the index underlying the WisdomTree Put Write Strategy
Fund).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange deems the Shares to be equity securities, thus
rendering trading in the Shares subject to the Exchange's existing
rules governing the trading of equity securities. In support of this
proposal, the Exchange has also made the following representations:
    (1) The Shares will conform to the initial and continued listing
criteria under Rule 14.11(c), except that the Index will not meet the
requirements of Rule 14.11(c)(3) because the Index will consist of
options.
    (2) The Exchange has the appropriate rules to facilitate
transactions in the Shares during all trading sessions.
    (3) FINRA, on behalf of the Exchange, will communicate as needed
regarding trading in the Shares, ETPs, futures contracts, and exchange-
traded options contracts with other market and other entities that are
members of ISG and may obtain trading information in the Shares,
futures contracts, exchange-traded options contracts, and ETPs from
such markets and other entities. In addition, the Exchange may obtain
information regarding trading in the Shares, futures contracts,
exchange-traded options contracts, and ETPs from markets and other
entities that are members of ISG or with which the Exchange has in
place a comprehensive surveillance sharing agreement. In addition, the
Exchange is able to access, as needed, trade information for certain
fixed income securities held by the Fund reported to FINRA's Trade
Reporting and Compliance Engine.
    (4) Prior to the commencement of trading, the Exchange will inform
its members in an Information Circular of the special characteristics
and risks associated with trading the Shares. Specifically, the
Information Circular will discuss the following: (a) The procedures for
purchases and redemptions of Shares in Creation Units (and that Shares
are not individually redeemable); (b) BZX Rule 3.7, which imposes
suitability obligations on Exchange members with respect to
recommending transactions in the Shares to customers; (c) how
information regarding the IIV and Index value is disseminated; (d) the
risks involved in trading the Shares during the Pre-Opening \28\ and
After Hours Trading Sessions \29\ when an updated Intraday Indicative
Value will not be calculated or publicly disseminated; (e) the
requirement that members deliver a prospectus to investors purchasing
newly issued Shares prior to or concurrently with the confirmation of a
transaction; and (f) trading information.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \28\ The Pre-Opening Session is from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. ET.
    \29\ The After Hours Trading Session is from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00
p.m. ET.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (5) For initial and continued listing, the Fund will be in
compliance with Rule 10A-3 under the Act,\30\ as provided by Rule
14.10.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \30\ See 17 CFR 240.10A-3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (6) The Fund may hold up to an aggregate amount of 15% of its net

assets in illiquid assets (calculated at the time of investment).
    (7) A minimum of 100,000 Shares for the Fund will be outstanding at
the commencement of trading on the Exchange.
    (8) All futures contracts (and options on futures), listed options,
and ETPs held by the Fund will be traded on U.S. exchanges, all of
which are members of ISG or are exchanges with which the Exchange has
in place a comprehensive surveillance sharing agreement.
    (9) The Fund will not invest in any non-U.S. equity securities.
    (10) The Fund's investments will be consistent with the Fund's
investment objective and will not be used to enhance leverage.\31\ The
Fund will not invest in leveraged (e.g., 2X, -2X, 3X, or -3X) ETPs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \31\ The Exchange represents that the Fund will include
appropriate risk disclosure in its offering documents, including
leveraging risk. Leveraging risk is the risk that certain
transactions of a fund, including a fund's use of derivatives, may
give rise to leverage, causing a fund to be more volatile than if it
had not been leveraged. To mitigate leveraging risk, the Adviser
will segregate or earmark liquid assets or otherwise cover the
transactions that give rise to such risk.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (11) The Fund's investments in total return swap agreements will be
backed by investments in U.S. government securities in an amount equal
to the exposure of those contracts.
    (12) The Fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in over-the-
counter Russell 2000 put options.
    (13) All money market instruments acquired by the Fund will be
rated investment grade, except that a Fund may invest in unrated money
market instruments that are deemed by the Adviser or Sub-Adviser to be
of comparable quality to money market securities rated investment
grade.
    (14) The Russell 2000 Index options traded on CBOE are highly
liquid, with average daily trading volume in 2016 of 71,365 contracts
and a notional size per contract of $117,169. CBOE is a member of the
Option Price Regulatory Surveillance Authority, which was established
to provide efficiencies in looking for insider trading and serves as a
central organization to facilitate collaboration in insider trading and
investigations for the U.S. options exchanges.
    The Exchange further represents that all statements and
representations made in the filing regarding the index composition, the
description of the portfolio or reference assets, limitations on
portfolio holdings or reference assets, dissemination and availability
of index, reference asset, and intraday indicative values, and the
applicability of Exchange rules specified in the filing constitute
continued listing requirements for the Fund. The issuer has represented
to the Exchange that it will advise the Exchange of any failure by the
Fund to comply with the continued listing requirements, and, pursuant
to its obligations under Section 19(g)(1) of the Act, the Exchange will
monitor for compliance with the continued listing requirements. The
Exchange further represents that FINRA conducts certain cross-market
surveillances on behalf of the Exchange pursuant to a regulatory
services agreement, and the Exchange is responsible for FINRA's
performance under this regulatory services agreement. If the Fund is
not in compliance with the applicable listing requirements, the
Exchange will commence delisting procedures under Rule 14.12.
    This approval order is based on all of the Exchange's
representations, including those set forth above and in the Notice. For
the foregoing reasons, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \32\ and the rules
and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \32\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\33\ that the proposed rule change (SR-BatsBZX-2017-53) be, and it
hereby is, approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \33\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it would modify the route structure as necessary to
preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the National
Airspace System (NAS).

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA-2021-1031 in the Federal Register (86 FR 70989, December 14, 2021),
to amend seven VOR Federal airways and remove five airways in the
southeastern United States. Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on
the proposal. No comments were received.
    Domestic VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) of
FAA Order JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 2021 and effective September
15, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The VOR
Federal airways listed in this document will be subsequently published
in FAA Order JO 7400.11.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September
15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F lists Class
A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

Differences From the NPRM

    This rule includes changes to the VOR Federal airways proposed in
the NPRM to enable ongoing review by the Department of Defense. So as
to avoid the premature removal of route

segments, only those structural changes necessary due to the scheduled
decommissioning of the Atlanta, GA, (ATL); Crimson, AL, (LDK), and
Macon, GA, (MCN) VORs are included in this rule.
    The following routes are removed from this rule: V-115, V-421, V-
311, V-321, V-333, V-415, and V-463. These routes will be addressed in
a subsequent docket action at a later date. The NPRM proposed the
removal of V-325 and V-417. Instead, these routes will be retained and
amended in this rule. V-245 is amended as proposed in the NPRM. The
following are changes from NPRM:
    V-18: The NPRM proposed to remove the segments from the Crimson,
AL, (LDK) VORTAC to Vulcan, AL, and the segment from Colliers, SC, to
Charleston, SC. The FAA has decided to retain the segment From
Colliers, SC, to Charleston, SC.
    V-222: The NPRM proposed to terminate V-222 at Montgomery, AL.
Instead, the FAA has decided to terminate V-222 at the TIROE
intersection, as currently charted.
    V-325: V-325 currently extends from the Columbia, SC, (CAE) VORTAC,
to the Muscle Shoals, AL, (MSL) VORTAC. The NPRM proposed to remove the
entire route. The FAA has decided to retain V-325 and amend it as
follows: From Columbia, SC, to Athens, GA; and From INT Gadsden, AL,
091[deg] and Rome, GA, 133[deg] radials; to INT Vulcan, AL, 013[deg]
and Gadsden 302[deg] radials.
    V-417: V-417 currently extends from the Meridian, MS, (MEI) VORTAC
to the Charleston, SC, (CHS) VORTAC. The NPRM proposed to remove the
entire route. The FAA has decided to retain V-417 and amend it as
follows: From Vulcan, AL; Rome, GA; to INT Rome 060[deg] and Hinch
Mountain, TN, 160[deg] radials. From Athens, GA; Colliers, SC;
Allendale, SC; to Charleston, SC.

The Rule

    This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by modifying V-18, V-222, V-245,
V-325, and V-417.
    V-18: V-18 is amended by removing the segment between Crimson, AL,
and Vulcan, AL. The amended route extends between Belcher, LA and
Meridian, MS; and between Colliers, SC, and Charleston, SC.
    V-222: V-222 is amended by removing the segments from the
intersection of the Foothills, SC, and the Harris, GA, radials to
Lynchburg, VA. The amended route extends from El Paso, TX to the
intersection of the La Grange, GA, 048[deg] and the Rome, GA, 166[deg]
radials (the charted TIROE Intersection).
    V-325: V-325 is amended to extend from Columbia, SC to Athens, GA;
and from the intersection of the Gadsden, AL 091[deg] and the Rome, GA
133[deg] radials; to the intersection of the Vulcan, AL, 013[deg] and
the Gadsden 302[deg] radials.
    V-417: V-417 is amended by removing the segments from Meridian, MS,
to Crimson, AL. The amended route consists of two parts: From Vulcan,
AL, to the intersection of the Rome, GA, 060[deg], and the Hinch
Mountain, TN, 160[deg] radials (the charted NELLO intersection); and
From Athens, GA, to Charleston, SC.
    Full route descriptions of the above routes are listed in ``The
Amendment'' section of this rule.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation
of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that only affects air traffic procedures
and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated,
does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action of amending five VOR
Federal airways, in the southeastern United States qualifies for
categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR part
1500, and in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts:
Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5-6.5a, which categorically excludes
from further environmental impact review rulemaking actions that
designate or modify classes of airspace areas, airways, routes, and
reporting points (see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of Class A, B, C, D,
and E Airspace Areas; Air Traffic Service Routes; and Reporting
Points); and paragraph 5-6.5b, which categorically excludes from
further environmental impact review ``Actions regarding establishment
of jet routes and Federal airways (see 14 CFR 71.15, Designation of jet
routes and VOR Federal airways) . . .''. As such, this action is not
expected to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts. In
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding
Extraordinary Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed this action for
factors and circumstances in which a normally categorically excluded
action may have a significant environmental impact requiring further
analysis. The FAA has determined no extraordinary circumstances exist
that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment or
environmental impact study.
