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

    The Exchange proposes to amend the Exchange's Market Maker Plus
program under Options 7, Section 3.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at http://ise.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 purpose of the proposed rule change is to amend the
qualifications for Market Makers to achieving Market Maker Plus status.
    The Exchange initially filed the proposed pricing changes on May 1,
2019 (SR-ISE-2019-13). On May 10, 2019, the Exchange withdrew that
filing and submitted this filing.
    As set forth in note 5 under Section 3 of the Pricing Schedule, the
Exchange operates a Market Maker Plus program for regular orders in
Select Symbols \3\ that provides the below tiered rebates to Market
Makers \4\ based on time spent quoting at the National Best Bid or
National Best Offer (``NBBO'').\5\ This program is designed to reward
Market Makers that contribute to market quality by maintaining tight
markets in Select Symbols.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ ``Select Symbols'' are options overlying all symbols listed
on the Nasdaq ISE that are in the Penny Pilot Program.
    \4\ The term ``Market Makers'' refers to ``Competitive Market
Makers'' and ``Primary Market Makers'' collectively. See ISE Rule
100(a)(32).
    \5\ If a Market Maker would qualify for a different Market Maker
Plus tier in each of the two successive 30 calendar day periods,
then the lower of the two Market Maker Plus tier rebates shall apply
to all contracts. The Market Maker Plus tiered rebate amounts and
the specified percentage thresholds outlined in this filing will
remain unchanged under this proposal.

Tier 3 (95% or greater).................................          (0.22)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Market Makers are evaluated each trading day for the percentage of
time spent on the NBBO for qualifying series that expire in two
successive thirty calendar day periods beginning on that trading
day.\6\ A Market Maker Plus is a Market Maker who is on the NBBO a
specified percentage of the time on average for the month based on
daily performance in the qualifying series for each of the two
successive periods described above.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Qualifying series are series trading between $0.03 and $3.00
(for options whose underlying stock's previous trading day's last
sale price was less than or equal to $100) and between $0.10 and
$3.00 (for options whose underlying stock's previous trading day's
last sale price was greater than $100) in premium.
    \7\ Thus, for example, on May 1 the periods referenced above
would include all expirations: (1) From May 1-May 30 and (2) from
May 31-June 29.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Market Makers may enter quotes in a symbol using one or more
unique, exchange assigned identifiers--i.e., badge/suffix combinations.
Market Maker Plus status is calculated independently based on quotes
entered in a symbol for each of the Market Maker's badge/suffix
combinations, and the highest tier achieved for any badge/suffix
combination quoting that symbol applies to executions across all badge/
suffix combinations that the member uses to trade in that symbol. Thus,
as currently implemented in the Exchange's billing system, the rebates
are applied across the entire firm based on the highest Market Maker
Plus tier achieved by one of the firm's badge/suffix combination in a
particular symbol within a particular billing month.\8\ Furthermore, a
Market Maker's worst quoting day each month for each of the two
successive periods described above, on a per symbol basis, is excluded
in calculating whether a Market Maker qualifies for this rebate.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ For example, assume Market Maker A is configured to trade in
AAPL in the following badge/suffix combinations: 123A, 123B, and
123C, and is on the NBBO 95% of the time in 123A, 85% of the time in
123B, and 10% of the time in 123C. Based on these facts, Market
Maker A would qualify for the Tier 3 rebate of $0.22 per contract in
AAPL for 123A based on a time at the NBBO of 95% or greater. In
addition, Market Maker A would qualify for the same Tier 3 rebate in
AAPL for 123B and 123C as the highest tier achieved is applied to
all badge/suffix combinations.
    \9\ In addition, the Exchange may exclude from any member's
monthly Market Maker Plus tier calculation any Unanticipated Event;
provided that the Exchange will only remove the day for members that
would have a lower time at the NBBO for the specified series with
the day included. See Options 7, Section 1(a)(2) for the definition
of ``Unanticipated Event.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    While the Exchange believes that the Market Maker Plus program has
been successful overall in encouraging better market quality in Select
Symbols, and that the language selecting the highest badge/suffix
combination of a firm seeks to reward the Market Maker for consistent
quoting, the Exchange has also identified certain instances where
allowing the program benefits to accrue to all badge/suffix
combinations once a single badge/suffix combination qualifies for a
Market Maker Plus tier would not necessarily improve market quality,
particularly in instances where a Market Maker shuts down one of its
badge/suffix combinations mid-month.
    For example, assume Market Maker A is configured to trade AAPL in
the following badge/suffix combinations: 123A, 123B, and 123C. Assume
further that Market Maker A's performance for the following trading
days in May for both successive 30 calendar day periods are as follows:
     May 1: Market Maker A is at the NBBO for 95% of the time
in 123A, and 50% of the time in 123B and 123C. As of May 1, Market
Maker A would qualify for Market Maker Plus Tier 3 based on the tier
achieved by 123A.
     May 2: Market Maker A is at the NBBO for 10% of the time
in 123A, 123B, and 123C.
     May 3: Market Maker A decides to shut down 123A, and
quotes at the NBBO for 50% of the time in 123B and 123C.
     Market Maker A is at the NBBO for 50% of the time in 123B
and 123C for the rest of May.
    The Exchange currently rebates the above example based on the
Market Maker Plus language which states that the Exchange will apply
the rebate for the highest tier achieved for any badge/suffix
combination quoting that symbol across all badge/suffix combinations
that the member uses to trade in that symbol. The language also
provides that a Market Maker's worst quoting day each month will be
thrown out. As a result, Market Maker A would receive the $0.22 per
contract Tier 3 rebate for May because the Exchange's billing system
picked up 123A as the highest achieving badge/suffix combination within
that month (which is then

applied across all badge/suffix combinations--i.e., 123B and 123C), and
also struck May 2 as its worst quoting day. In this case, the market
has not necessarily improved in this symbol because Market Maker A was
quoting on 123A for only two days. This is further compounded by the
fact that one of those days was thrown out under the current rule, such
that Market Maker A only needed to quote above the Tier 3 threshold for
one day in order to receive the rebate.
    The Exchange therefore proposes to change its Market Maker Plus
qualifications to ensure that Market Makers make quality markets for a
significant number of days within a month. In particular, the Exchange
proposes to add the following language in Section 3, note 5: ``Only
badge/suffix combinations quoting a minimum of ten trading days within
the month will be used to determine whether the Market Maker Plus
status has been met and the specific tier to be applied to the Market
Maker's performance for that month.'' Thus under the proposal, Market
Makers would need to quote in a badge/suffix combination for at least
10 trading days within a given month as a prerequisite to qualifying
for Market Maker Plus, and the Market Maker's quoting activity on such
badge/suffix combination would be used to determine which Market Maker
Plus tier (if any) applies to that Market Maker for that month.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\10\ in general, and furthers the objectives of
Sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,\11\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the Market Maker Plus specification that
the highest badge/suffix combination will be used for calculation
honors the Market Maker Plus participants in their best efforts to
improve the quality of the markets. The Exchange, in light of the above
example and similar situations, would like to ensure that the
participants of the Market Maker Plus program are making quality
markets for an appreciable number of days in order to qualify for the
enhanced rebate. The Exchange believes that the proposed changes to
impose a minimum number of trading days for quoting on a single badge/
suffix combination to include that badge/suffix combination into the
calculation of Market Maker Plus status are reasonable and equitable as
these changes are designed to encourage Market Makers to make quality
markets in Select Symbols and thereby further the goal of the Market
Maker Plus program. The Exchange believes that the proposed minimum of
ten trading days is reasonable and equitable because it requires a
Market Maker to quote using a badge/suffix combination for a
significant amount of days within a month in order to receive the
enhanced rebates. The Exchange believes its proposal is appropriate in
light of how the current program is implemented on the billing system,
and avoids situations where members can glean program benefits without
particularly improving market quality.
    The Exchange believes that the proposed changes to the
qualifications to Market Maker Plus are not unfairly discriminatory as
all Market Makers will be subject to the same qualification criteria
for Market Maker Plus. The Exchange also continues to believe that it
is not unfairly discriminatory to offer rebates under this program to
only Market Makers since Market Makers and, in particular, those Market
Makers that participate in the Market Maker Plus Program and achieve
Market Maker Plus status, are subject to additional requirements and
obligations (such as quoting obligations) that other market
participants are not.

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 changes are
designed to ensure that the goals of the Exchange's Market Maker Plus
program are furthered by ensuring that Market Makers make quality
markets in Select Symbols for a significant amount of days within the
month. The Exchange 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 and rebates to remain
competitive. Because competitors are free to modify their own fees in
response, and because market participants may readily adjust their
order routing practices, the Exchange believes that the degree to which
fee changes in this market may impose any burden on competition is
extremely limited.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act,\12\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) \13\ thereunder.
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.

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 67

[Docket ID FEMA-2010-0003; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1110]

Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on the proposed Base (1% annual-chance)
Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed BFE modifications for the
communities listed in the table below. The purpose of this document is
to seek general information and comment regarding the proposed
regulatory flood elevations for the reach described by the downstream
and upstream locations in the table below. The BFEs and modified BFEs
are a part of the floodplain management measures that the community is
required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in effect in
order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, these elevations, once
finalized, will be used by insurance agents and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the
contents in those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before July 13, 2010.

ADDRESSES: The corresponding preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) for the proposed BFEs for each community is available for
inspection at the community's map repository. The respective addresses
are listed in the table below.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1110, to
Kevin C. Long, Acting Chief, Engineering Management Branch, Mitigation

Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW.,
Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kevin C. Long, Acting Chief,
Engineering Management Branch, Mitigation Directorate, Federal
Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,
(202) 646-2820, or (e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) proposes to make determinations of BFEs and modified BFEs for
each community listed below, in accordance with section 110 of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR
67.4(a).
    These proposed BFEs and modified BFEs, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. These proposed elevations
are used to meet the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and
also are used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium
rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made final,
and for the contents in these buildings.
    Comments on any aspect of the Flood Insurance Study and FIRM, other
than the proposed BFEs, will be considered. A letter acknowledging
receipt of any comments will not be sent.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This proposed rule is
categorically excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10,
Environmental Consideration. An environmental impact assessment has not
been prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood elevation determinations are
not within the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-
612, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
    Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review. This
proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under the criteria
of section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as amended.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This proposed rule involves no
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This proposed rule
meets the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.

List of Subjects in 44 CFR Part 67

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed information collection in
Docket No. RD14-2-000 relates to a proposed revision to the definition
of bulk electric system, developed by the North American Electric
Reliability Corporation (NERC), and submitted to the Commission for
approval. NERC's petition related to the revised definition of bulk
electric system is pending before the Commission. The proposed revision
modifies the definition of bulk electric system in response to
Commission directives in Order Nos. 773 and 773-A as well as some other
clarifying revisions.\1\ The information collection requirements
contained in the definition of bulk electric system are contained in
FERC-725J (OMB Control Number 1902-0259).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bulk Electric System and Rules of Procedure, Order No. 773, 141 FERC
] 61,236 (2012); order on reh'g, Order No. 773-A, 143 FERC ] 61,053
(2013), order on reh'g and clarification, 144 FERC ] 61,174.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On December 20, 2012, the Commission issued Order No. 773, a Final
Rule approving NERC's modifications to the definition of ``bulk
electric system'' and the Rules of Procedure exception process to be
effective July 1, 2013. On April 18, 2013, in Order No. 773-A the
Commission largely affirmed its findings in Order No. 773. In Order
Nos. 773 and 773-A the Commission directed NERC to modify the
definition of bulk electric system in two respects: (1) Modify the
local network exclusion (exclusion E3) to remove the 100 kV minimum
operating voltage to allow systems that include one or more looped
configurations connected below 100 kV to be eligible for the local
network exclusion; and (2) modify the exclusions to ensure that
generator interconnection facilities at or above 100 kV connected to
bulk electric system generators identified in inclusion I2 are not
excluded from the bulk electric system.
    In its December 13, 2013 Petition, NERC proposed revisions to
respond to the Commission directives. In addition, NERC revised
inclusion I4 to include the collector system at the point of
aggregation.\2\ Therefore, the estimates for this information
collection are based on the three proposed modifications.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The bulk electric system definition components consist of
the core definition, five inclusions and four exclusions. NERC does
not propose any changes to the core definition, inclusion I3 or
exclusion E2. The proposed changes chiefly affect exclusions E1 and
E3 and inclusion I4. NERC also made minor clarifying changes to
inclusions I1, I2, and I5 and exclusion E4. These minor changes do
not affect the information collection and reporting requirements
approved in Order Nos. 773 and 773-A.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission estimates a modest decrease in information
collection and reporting that would result from implementing the
proposed revisions to the definition of bulk electric system.
Specifically, the Commission estimates a decrease in information
collection and reporting that would result from implementing NERC's
proposed revisions to the definition of bulk electric system. The
estimate is derived in NERC's alternative proposal in addressing the
Commission's concern regarding low voltage looped configurations. NERC
explains that its technical analysis shows that a 50 kV threshold for
sub-100 kV loops does not affect the application of exclusion E1. NERC
states that this approach will ease the administrative burden on
entities as it negates the necessity for an entity to prove that they
qualify for exclusion E1 if the sub-100 kV loop in question is less
than or equal to 50 kV.\3\ This administrative burden falls into the
category of ``System Review and List Creation'' as described in Order
Nos. 773 and 773-A.\4\ NERC's technical justification has shown that a
subset of low voltage loops (operating between 0 and 50 kV) do not
provide parallel flows and thus qualify for exclusion E1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ NERC Petition at 19-25, Exhibit D at 2, 48-90.
    \4\ System Review and List Creation corresponds to step 1 of
NERC's proposed transition plan, which requires each U.S. asset
owner to apply the revised bulk electric system definition to all
elements to determine if those elements are included in the bulk
electric system pursuant to the revised definition. See Order No.
773, 141 FERC ] 61,236 at P 330.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Because the E1 exclusion applies to low voltage loops operated
below 50 kV, entities will no longer evaluate looped configurations for
either the E3 network exclusion or the NERC exception process.\5\
Accordingly, we estimate a decrease of one engineering hour needed for
``System Review and List Creation'' for transmission owners and
distribution providers, respectively. With respect to the revisions to
inclusion I4, NERC states that the standard drafting team ``identified
the portions of the collector system which consistently provide a
reliability benefit to the interconnected transmission network and are
easily identified within collector systems.'' \6\ Thus, the Commission
estimates no material change in information collection because the
engineering time needed to evaluate the collector system component that
NERC proposes to be included in the bulk electric system is a simple
and straightforward determination of whether the collector system
aggregates to greater than 75 MVA.
