DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. IC06-716-000; FERC-716]

Commission Information Collection Activities, Proposed
Collection; Comment Request; Extension

January 11, 2006.
AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, DOE.

ACTION: Notice of proposed information collection and request for
comments.

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

SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirements of section 3506(c)(2)(a)
of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13), the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is soliciting public comment
on the specific aspects of the information collection described below.

DATES: Comments on the collection of information are due March 10,
2006.

ADDRESSES: Copies of sample filings of the proposed collection of
information can be obtained from the Commission's Web site (http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filings/elibrary.asp
) or from the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, Attn: Michael Miller, Office of the Executive
Director Officer, ED-34, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
Comments may be filed either in paper format or electronically. Those
parties filing electronically do not need to make a paper filing. For
paper filing, the original and 14 copies of such comments should be
submitted to the Office of the Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426 and refer to
Docket No. IC06-716-000.
    Documents filed electronically via the Internet must be prepared in
WordPerfect, MS Word, Portable Document Format, or ASCII format. To

 and click on ``Make an E-filing'', and then follow the

instructions for each screen. First time users will have to establish a
user name and password. The Commission will send an automatic
acknowledgement to the sender's e-mail address upon receipt of
comments.
    All comments may be viewed, printed or downloaded remotely via the
Internet through FERC's homepage using the eLibrary link. For user
assistance, contact<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll-free at (866)
208-3676 or for TTY, contact<PHONE_NUMBER>.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Miller may be reached by
telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER>, by fax at<PHONE_NUMBER>, and by e-mail at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The information collected under the
requirements of FERC-716 ``Good Faith Request for Transmission Service
and Response by Transmitting Utility Under Sections 211(a) and 213(a)
of the Federal Power Act'' (OMB No. 1902-0170) is used by the
Commission to implement the statutory provisions of sections 211 and
213 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) as amended and added by the Energy
Policy Act 1992. The information is not filed with the Commission,
however, the request and response may be analyzed as a part of a
section 211 proceeding. This collection of information covers the
information that must be contained in the request and in the response.
    The Energy Policy Act of 1992 amended section 211 of the FPA and
expanded the Commission's authority to order transmission service.
Under the revised section 211, the Commission may order transmission
services if it finds that such action would be in the public interest,
would not unreasonably impair the continued reliability of electric
systems affected by the order, and would meet the requirements of
amended section 211 of the FPA.
    The Commission's policy statement in Public Law 93-3, Policy
Statement Regarding Good Faith Requests for Transmission Services and
Responses by Transmitting Utilities Under Sections 211(a) and 213(a) of
the Federal Power Act, as amended, implemented a data exchange between
a transmission requester and a transmitting utility prior to the
submission of section 211 request with the Commission. Components of
the data exchange are identified in the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), 18 CFR 2.20. The general policy sets forth standards by which
the Commission determines whether and when a valid good faith request
for transmission has been made under section 211 of the FPA. In
developing the standards, the Commission sought to encourage an open
exchange of information with a reasonable degree of specificity and
completeness between the party requesting transmission services and the
transmitting utility. As a result, twelve components of a good faith
estimate are identified under 18 CFR 2.20.
    Information in the data exchange is not filed as noted above with
the Commission, unless negotiations between the transmission requestor
and the transmitting utility have not been successful and the
transmission requestor files a section 211 request (FERC-716A, 1902-
0168) with the Commission. The request and response may be analyzed by
the Commission as part of the section 211 proceeding.
    Action: The Commission is requesting a three-year extension of the
current expiration date, with no changes to the existing collection of
data.
    Burden Statement: Public reporting burden for this collection is
estimated as:

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

    Estimated cost burden to respondents is $5,421. (800 hours/2080
hours per year times $112,767 per year average per employee = $43,372).
The cost per respondent is $5,421.00.
    The reporting burden includes the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide
the information including: (1) Reviewing instructions; (2) developing,
acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating, verifying, processing, maintaining,
disclosing and providing information; (3) adjusting the existing ways
to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements;
(4) training personnel to respond to a collection of information; (5)
searching data sources; (6) completing and reviewing the collection of
information; and (7) transmitting, or otherwise disclosing the
information.
    The estimate of cost for respondents is based upon salaries for
professional and clerical support, as well as direct and indirect
overhead costs. Direct costs include all costs directly attributable to
providing this information, such as administrative costs and the cost
for information technology. Indirect or overhead costs are costs
incurred by an organization in support of its mission. These costs
apply to activities which benefit the whole organization rather than
any one particular function or activity.
    Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms
of information technology e.g. permitting electronic submission of
responses.

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 117

[Docket No. USCG-2008-0256]
RIN 1625-AA09

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Duwamish Waterway, Seattle, WA,
Schedule Change

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to modify the drawbridge operation
regulation for the Spokane Street Bridge across the Duwamish Waterway,
mile 0.3, in Seattle, Washington, by establishing two daily closed draw
periods Monday through Friday. The change is necessary to help
alleviate roadway traffic and will do so by preventing traffic
stoppages on either side of the bridge during high volume traffic
periods. Large vessels would be exempted from the closed draw periods.

DATES: Comments and related material must reach the Coast Guard on or
before July 21, 2008.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by the Coast Guard docket
number USCG-2008-0256 to the Docket Management Facility at the U.S.
Department of Transportation. To avoid duplication, please use only one

ADDRESSES explaining why one would be beneficial. If we determine that
a public meeting would aid this rulemaking, we will hold one at a time
and place

announced by a later notice in the Federal Register.

Background and Purpose

    The proposed rule would enable the Seattle Department of
Transportation (SDOT), the owner of the Spokane Street Bridge, to keep
the draws of that bridge in the closed position in order to help
alleviate roadway traffic Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.
and from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., with the proviso that openings shall be
provided at any time for vessels of 5000 gross tons or more.
    The operating regulations currently in effect for the Spokane
Street Bridge are found at 33 CFR 117. The drawspan currently operates
under the general requirements of 33 CFR 117.1041 such that it must
open on signal for the passage of vessels at any time. The bridge was
constructed in 1991 and has never been subject to any special operating
regulations.
    The bridge provides a minimum of 44 feet of vertical clearance
above mean high water (elevation 10.47) in the closed position, but 55
feet for the central 130 feet of span width. The horizontal clearance
is 250 feet. In the fully open position the bridge allows unlimited
vertical clearance over the channel.
    For a 12-month period in 2007 and 2008 the draw opened for vessels
an average of about 10 times per month in each of the morning and
afternoon periods proposed for closure. The draw opens approximately 2
or 3 times per week in each of the periods proposed for closure.
Openings for vessels occur around the clock at this bridge with no
frequency pattern apparent to particular times. Since 1996 the total
monthly openings have ranged from 103 to 360. The traffic transiting
through the bridge opening includes oceangoing ships, container barges,
derrick barges and other large vessels that require the drawspan to
open. Most openings are for commercial vessels. Single openings
sometimes accommodate several vessels. Based on drawspan records, this
proposed rule will reduce the current number of openings up to 60
percent in the periods proposed for closure. Vessels of 5000 gross tons
or more would still be accommodated during the periods proposed for
closure.
    The draw is open for periods of 10 to 17 minutes for the above
cited operations. Roadway traffic then takes several minutes to regain
the flow that existed prior to the draw opening. SDOT studied a period
from July through September of 2007 during which the average weekday
daily traffic ranged from 10,900 to 11,400 vehicles. Of this number,
500 to 1500 vehicles or more are passing over the bridge in each period
proposed for closure. Halted vehicle counts are not available.

Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes to amend 33 CFR 117.1041 by renumbering
the current paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) to (a)(2) and (3), respectively,
and adding a new paragraph (a)(1) establishing that ``the draw of the
Spokane Street Bridge, mile 0.3, need not open for vessels of less than
5000 gross tons from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., Monday
through Friday.'' The periods of closure will help alleviate road
traffic by preventing traffic stoppages on either side of the bridge
during high volume traffic periods.

Regulatory Evaluation

    This proposed rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits
under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under that Order.
    We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule to be so
minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation under the regulatory policies
and procedures of DHS is unnecessary. We reached this conclusion based
on the fact that most vessel operators can plan their passage in
accordance with the closed periods to minimize any impact on their
activities.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this proposed rule would have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed
rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. This proposed rule would affect the following
entities, some of which might be small entities: the owners or
operators of vessels needing to transit under the Spokane Street Bridge
between 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday.
The economic impact on these entities will not be significant, however,
because the closures are limited to two, two-hour periods each day,
Monday through Friday, most vessel operators can plan their passage in
accordance with the closed periods to minimize impact on their
activities.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how, and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule so that they can better
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. If the
rule would affect your small business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or
options for compliance, please contact Austin Pratt, Chief, Bridge
Section, Waterways Management Branch, 13th Coast Guard District, at
(206) 220-7282. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this proposed rule
under that Order and have determined that it does not have implications
for federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 or more in any
one year. Though this proposed rule will not result in such an
expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this
preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would not effect a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and would not
create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would 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.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13211,
Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of Information and Regulatory Affairs has
not designated this as a significant energy action. Therefore, it does
not require a Statement of Energy Effects under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination that this action is not likely to
have a significant effect on the human environment because it simply
promulgates the operating regulations or procedures for drawbridges. We
seek any comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a
significant environmental impact from this rule.

trading of UTP Securities on the Exchange. Under the proposal, the
Pillar platform rules, as set forth in NYSE Rules 1P-13P, would govern
trading in UTP Securities on the Exchange.\7\ The Exchange proposes
rule changes relating to clearly erroneous executions; the limit up-
limit down plan; short sales; halts; orders and modifiers; order
ranking, display, execution, and routing; odd and mixed lots; the tick
size pilot plan. The Exchange also proposes to specify the current
Exchange rules that would not be operative under Pillar.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 76803 (Dec. 30,
2015), 81 FR 536 (Jan. 6, 2016) (SR-NYSE-2015-67) (Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change) (adopting a
framework of rule numbering based on NYSE Arca rules in advance of
the NYSE adopting Pillar).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to the proposal, UTP Securities would trade under the
Exchange's current parity allocation model.\8\ Designated market makers
(``DMMs'') would not be assigned UTP Securities on Pillar.\9\
Supplemental Liquidity Providers \10\ would be eligible to be assigned
UTP Securities, and member organizations operating floor broker
operations that are physically located on the floor would also be
eligible to trade UTP Securities,\11\ but UTP Securities would not be
available for floor-based point-of-sale trading. Finally, the Exchange
would not conduct auctions in UTP Securities.\12\ The Exchange
represents that it will continue to trade NYSE-listed securities on its
current trading platform.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The Pillar platform on NYSE Arca and NYSE American uses a
price-time allocation model. See NYSE Arca Rule 7.37-E(a) and NYSE
American Rule 7.37E(a).
    \9\ See Notice, supra note 3, 82 FR at 37258.
    \10\ See Proposed NYSE Rule 107B.
    \11\ According to the Exchange, member organizations trading UTP
Securities would be required to comply with Section 11(a)(1) of the
Act, 15 U.S.C. 78k(a)(1), and with any exceptions that are currently
applicable to trading on the Exchange. See Notice, supra note 3, 82
FR at 37258 n.12.
    \12\ See Notice, supra note 3, 82 FR at 37258.
    \13\ The Exchange states that it plans to transition trading in
NYSE-listed securities to Pillar at a later date, and will file
separate proposed rule changes to implement that transition. See
Notice, supra note 3, 82 FR at 37258 n.9.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange represents that the proposal to trade UTP Securities
on Pillar is based in part on the equity trading rules of NYSE Arca,
Inc. (``NYSE Arca'') and NYSE American LLC (``NYSE American''), with
the following substantive differences. First, as noted earlier, the
Exchange would use a parity allocation model with a setter priority
allocation for the participant that sets the best bid or offer on the
Exchange (``BBO'').\14\ Second, the Exchange would not offer a Retail
Liquidity Program or the associated order types--Retail Orders and
Retail Price Improvement Orders. Third, as noted above, the Exchange
would not conduct auctions. Fourth, the Exchange would offer only two
trading sessions--an Early Trading Session and a Core Trading Session.
Finally, the Exchange's order types and modifiers would differ from the
order types and modifiers offered by NYSE Arca and NYSE American.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See NYSE Rule 1.1(h) (defining ``BBO'' as the best bid or
offer on the Exchange).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange represents that it will announce the implementation of
trading UTP Securities on Pillar by a Trader Update. The Exchange
anticipates that the implementation will occur in the first quarter of
2018. If the Exchange begins trading UTP Securities on Pillar, certain
current NYSE trading rules would not be applicable. The Exchange
proposes to mark the affected Exchange rules with a preamble to state
that the rules are not applicable to trading UTP Securities on Pillar.
    The Notice contains a detailed description of the proposal. The
following section briefly summarizes the proposal.

A. NYSE Rule 7P--Equities Trading

    The Exchange proposes several new rules and changes to existing
rules in NYSE Rule 7P. Currently, Section 1 of NYSE Rule 7P sets forth
general provisions relating to equities trading on Pillar, such as
hours of business and clearance and settlement. The Exchange proposes
to add NYSE Rules 7.10 (clearly erroneous executions); 7.11 (limit up-
limit down); and 7.16 (short sales) to Section 1 of NYSE Rule 7P and
amend NYSE Rule 7.18 (halts).
    Section 3 of NYSE Rule 7P sets forth the rules for trading on
Pillar. The Exchange proposes to add to this section new NYSE Rules
7.31 (orders and modifiers); 7.34 (trading sessions); 7.36 (order
ranking and display); 7.37 (order execution and routing); and 7.38 (odd
and mixed lots). Finally, the Exchange proposes to add new NYSE Rule
7.46 to Section 5 of NYSE Rule 7P to establish rules to implement the
Tick Size Pilot Plan.
1. General Provisions
    The Exchange proposes to establish rules relating to clearly
erroneous executions, the limit up-limit down plan, short sales, and
trading halts with respect to UTP Securities.
    Proposed NYSE Rule 7.10 would set forth the Exchange's rules
governing clearly erroneous executions.\15\ The proposed rule would set
forth how a member organization could request a review of an order that
was submitted erroneously, the timing of Exchange review, thresholds
for determining clearly erroneous execution, review procedures, and
other rules governing clearly erroneous executions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See Proposed NYSE Rule 7.10.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange represents that the proposed rule is based on NYSE
Arca Rule 7.10-E and NYSE American Rule 7.10E, except that the proposed
rule would omit references to: (1) The Late Trading Session,\16\ since
the Exchange would not offer a late trading session; (2) Cross
Orders,\17\ since the Exchange would not offer cross orders; and (3)
executions in the Trading Halt Auction, since the Exchange would not
conduct auctions for UTP Securities.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See Proposed NYSE Rule 7.34 and see infra the related
discussion below.
    \17\ See Proposed NYSE Rule 7.31 and see infra the related
discussion below.
    \18\ The Exchange proposes that current NYSE Rule 128 (Clearly
Erroneous Executions For NYSE Equities) would not be applicable for
trading in UTP Securities on Pillar.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Proposed NYSE Rule 7.11 would establish rules governing how the
Exchange would comply with the Regulation NMS Plan to Address
Extraordinary Market Volatility (``LULD Plan''). The LULD Plan
addresses extraordinary market volatility and is intended to prevent
trades in NMS securities from occurring outside of specified price
bands, and the proposed rule would implement the LULD Plan on the
Exchange's Pillar platform. The Exchange represents that the proposed
rule is based on NYSE American 7.11E with the following differences:
(1) There would be no option for member organizations to enter an
instruction to cancel Limit Orders that cannot be traded or routed at
prices within the price bands; (2) there would be no provisions and
references relating to Q Orders, Limit IOC Cross Orders, or orders with
specific routing instructions because the Exchange will not offer these
order types; \19\ (3) there would be no provision on reopenings since
the

Exchange will not conduct auctions; and (4) the proposed rules would
not include references to Day ISO orders, an order type that NYSE
American does not offer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ See Proposed NYSE Rule 7.31 and the related discussion
below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Proposed NYSE Rule 7.16 would set forth the Exchange's short sale
rule, which would govern short sales and compliance with Regulation
SHO. The Exchange represents that the proposed rule is based on NYSE
Arca Rule 7.16-E and NYSE American Rule 7.16E with two substantive
differences. First, because the proposed rule would not apply to the
Exchange's listed securities, the Exchange would not evaluate the
triggering of the short sale price restrictions pursuant to Rule 201 of
Regulation SHO for covered securities in which the Exchange is not the
listing market.\20\ Second, the Exchange is not proposing a rule that
relates to Tracking Orders, Cross Orders, or the Proactive if Locked/
Crossed Modifier because the Exchange would not offer these order types
for UTP Securities.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ As a result, the Exchange would not include rules based on
NYSE Arca Rules 7.16-E(f)(3), 7.16-E(f)(4)(A), or 7.16-E(f)(4)(B) or
NYSE American Rules 7.16E(f)(3), 7.16E(f)(4)(A), or 7.16E(f)(4)(B).
    \21\ Current NYSE Rule 440B (Short Sales) would not be
applicable to trading UTP Securities on Pillar.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Current NYSE Rule 7.18 governs trading halts in an UTP Security.
The Exchange proposes to add proposed Rule 7.18(b), which would set
forth how the Exchange would process new and existing orders in an UTP
Security during an UTP Regulatory Halt.\22\ The Exchange represents
that the proposed rule is based on NYSE Arca Rule 7.18-E(b) and
subparagraphs (1)-(6), as well as NYSE American Rule 7.18E(b) and
subparagraphs (1)-(6), except that the Exchange would not refer to
``Primary Only'' order types because the Exchange would not offer this
order type. The Exchange also proposes to add NYSE Rule 7.18(d)(1)(A),
which would allow the Exchange to continue to trade an UTP Exchange
Traded Product for the remainder of the Early Trading Session in
certain situations.\23\ The Exchange represents that the proposed rule
is based on NYSE Arca Rule 7.18-E(d)(1)(A) and NYSE American Rule
7.18E(d)(1)(A), with no substantive differences.\24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ See Proposed NYSE Rule 7.18(b). UTP Regulatory Halt is
defined in current NYSE Rule 1.1(kk) to mean a trade suspension,
halt, or pause called by the UTP Listing Market in an UTP Security
that requires all market centers to halt trading in that security.
NYSE Rule 1.1(jj) defines the term ``UTP Listing Market'' as the
primary listing market for an UTP Security.
    \23\ See Proposed NYSE Rule 7.18(d)(1)(A). Specifically, this
rule would apply if an UTP Exchange Traded Product begins trading on
the Exchange in the Early Trading Session and a temporary
interruption occurs in a major market vendor's calculation or wide
dissemination of either the Intraday Indicative Value or the value
of the underlying index to the UTP Exchange Traded Product, as
applicable.
    \24\ The Exchange proposes two non-substantive changes: (1)
Amend NYSE Rule 7.18(a) to update a cross-reference and (2) amend
NYSE Rule 7.18(d)(1)(B) to replace the phrase ``Normal Trading
Hours'' with the phrase ``Core Trading Session.'' See Proposed NYSE
Rule 7.34(a)(2) (defining Core Trading Session).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Trading Rules for Pillar
    The Exchange proposes trading rules for Pillar, including a
description of order types and modifiers, trading sessions, how orders
are displayed and ranked, how orders are executed and routed, and how
odd lots and mixed lots are ranked and executed.
    Proposed NYSE Rule 7.31 would set forth the primary order types, as
well as time-in-force modifiers, auction-only orders, orders with
conditional or undisplayed price and/or size, orders with instructions
not to route, pegged orders, and other order instructions and modifiers
that would be available on Pillar. The Exchange represents that the
proposed orders and modifiers are a subset of those offered on NYSE
Arca and NYSE American, with several substantive differences.
    The proposed NYSE rule differs from the NYSE Arca and NYSE American
rules as follows: (1) NYSE would not offer auctions in UTP Securities
(Auction-Only Orders would be routed to the primary listing markets);
(2) Limit Orders entered before the Core Trading Session would be
designated for both the Early and Core Trading Sessions; (3) the
Exchange would not offer the option to designate certain orders with a
Non-Display Remove Modifier; (4) Intermarket Sweep Orders would not be
available to floor brokers; (5) Pegged Orders would be available only
to floor brokers; \25\ and (6) the Exchange would not offer certain
order types.\26\ The proposed rule also sets forth how Self Trade
Prevention Modifiers would function consistent with the Exchange's
proposed allocation model.\27\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ Currently, NYSE only offers pegged orders for floor
brokers. See NYSE Rule 13(f)(1) (stating that pegging interest
``must be an e-Quote or d-Quote''). See NYSE Rule 70 for more
information on e-Quote and d-Quote.
    \26\ The Exchange would not offer Tracking Orders, Cross Orders,
Q Orders, orders that include specific routing instructions (which
includes Primary Only Orders), Inside Limit Orders, Limit IOC Cross
Orders, Market Pegged Orders, Discretionary Pegged Orders, or the
Proactive if Locked/Crossed Modifier. However, the Exchange would
offer the order type Non-Displayed Primary Pegged Order, which NYSE
Arca does not offer. The Exchange would also offer order types and
modifiers not offered by NYSE American (Primary Pegged Orders, ALO
Orders, Day ISO Orders, IOC ISO Orders, and MPL Orders with an ALO
Modifier).
    \27\ The Exchange proposes additional rules addressing how the
self-trade prevention modifiers STP Cancel Newest and STP Cancel
Oldest orders would interact with resting orders in a priority
category that allocates orders based on parity. The Exchange
proposes that current NYSE Rules 13 (Orders and Modifiers) and 70
(Execution of Floor Broker Interest) would not be applicable for
trading in UTP Securities on Pillar.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Proposed NYSE Rule 7.34 would specify that the Exchange would
operate Early and Core Trading Sessions. The Exchange represents that
the proposed rule is based on NYSE Arca Rule 7.34-E and NYSE American
Rule 7.34E, except for the following substantive differences: (1) The
Exchange would offer two trading sessions--an Early Trading Session and
a Core Trading Session--instead of three trading sessions; \28\ (2) the
Early Trading Session would start at 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time (rather
than 4:00 a.m. Eastern Time on NYSE Arca); (3) the Exchange would deem
an order entered before or during the Early or Core Trading Session as
designated for both trading sessions; \29\ (4) the Exchange would not
reference current NYSE Rule 7.44 because the Exchange would not offer a
retail liquidity program; (5) in the Early Trading Session, Market
Orders would be treated like Auction-Only Orders and would be routed to
the primary listing market on arrival, instead of being rejected; and
(6) the Exchange would not include provisions involving auctions and
would not refer to order types that it does not offer (e.g., Cross
Orders).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \28\ NYSE Arca and NYSE American also offer a Late Trading
Session. See NYSE Arca Rule 7.34-E(a)(3) and NYSE American Rule
7.34E(a)(3). NYSE would not offer a Late Trading Session.
    \29\ Proposed NYSE Rule 7.34(b) would also provide that an order
would be deemed designated with a day time-in-force modifier if that
order did not have a time-in-force designation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Proposed NYSE Rule 7.36 would set forth how orders are ranked and
displayed, and the priority of orders. As noted earlier, the Exchange
would use a parity allocation model for the trading of UTP securities.
The Exchange represents that proposed subsections NYSE Rule 7.36(a)-(g)
are based on NYSE Arca Rule 7.36-E(a)-(g) and NYSE American Rule
7.36(a)-(g) with several substantive differences. The Exchange would
add the term ``Participant'' based on the term ``individual
participant'' in current NYSE Rule 72(c)(ii), and a new term
``Aggressing Order.'' \30\ Proposed NYSE Rule 7.36(b)(2) would not
include the

reference to NYSE Arca Rule 7.7-E--which prohibits ETP Holders from
transmitting through the facilities of the Exchange information
regarding a bid, offer, indication of an order, or the ETP Holder's
identity unless the originating ETP Holder grants permission or
affirmatively elects to disclose its identity--because all non-
marketable displayed Limit Orders would be displayed on an anonymous
basis. Proposed NYSE Rule 7.36(c) would not include a reference to
price-time priority since the Exchange would operate under its existing
parity allocation model, and there would be three priority categories
for orders instead of four categories on NYSE Arca and NYSE
American.\31\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \30\ See Proposed NYSE Rule 7.36(a)(6). An Aggressing Order is a
buy (sell) order that is or becomes marketable against sell (buy)
interest on the Exchange Book.
    \31\ See Proposed NYSE Rule 7.36(e). The proposed priority
categories are Priority 1--Market Orders, Priority 2--Display
Orders, and Priority 3--Non-Displayed Orders. The category Tracking
Orders, which appears as a Priority 4 category in NYSE Arca 7.36-E
and NYSE American 7.36E, is not included in the Exchange's proposed
rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Proposed NYSE Rule 7.36(h) sets forth the rules for Setter
Priority. The Exchange represents that the proposed rule is based in
part on current NYSE Rule 72, with several substantive differences: (1)
In addition to establishing the BBO,\32\ an order would have to either
establish a new national best bid or offer (``NBBO'') \33\ or join an
Away Market NBBO to be eligible for Setter Priority; (2) unlike current
NYSE Rule 72(a)(ii), Setter Priority would not be available for a
resting order solely because that order is the only interest at a given
price when that price becomes the BBO; (3) Setter Priority would not be
available for reserve quantities that replenish the display quantity of
a Reserve Order; \34\ and (4) orders that are routed and return
unexecuted would be eligible for Setter Priority consistent with
proposed NYSE Rules 7.16(f)(5)(H), 7.36(f)(1)(A) and (B), and
7.38(b)(2), which govern the working time assigned to the return
quantity of an order.\35\ In addition, the Exchange proposes that an
order would be evaluated for Setter Priority when the order becomes
eligible to trade for the first time upon the transition to a new
trading session; \36\ that an order would retain Setter Priority when
transitioning from one trading session to another; \37\ and that an
order would lose Setter Priority if it is assigned a new display
price.\38\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \32\ See NYSE Rule 1.1(h).
    \33\ See NYSE Rule 1.1(dd) (defining NBBO as the national best
bid or offer) and Rule 600(b)(42) of Regulation NMS (``National best
bid and national best offer means, with respect to quotations for an
NMS security, the best bid and best offer for such security that are
calculated and disseminated on a current and continuing basis by a
plan processor pursuant to an effective national market system plan;
provided, that in the event two or more market centers transmit to
the plan processor pursuant to such plan identical bids or offers
for an NMS security, the best bid or best offer (as the case may be)
shall be determined by ranking all such identical bids or offers (as
the case may be) first by size (giving the highest ranking to the
bid or offer associated with the largest size), and then by time
(giving the highest ranking to the bid or offer received first in
time)''). 17 CFR 242.600(b)(42).
    \34\ See Proposed NYSE Rule 7.36(h)(4)(B). The Exchange proposes
that resting orders that are the only interest at the price when
that price becomes the BBO, and the replenished portion of a Reserve
Order, would not be eligible for Setter Priority on Pillar in order
to encourage displayed orders that are aggressively priced.
    \35\ The Exchange proposes that NYSE Rules 72(a), (b), and
(c)(xii) would not be applicable to trading UTP Securities on
Pillar.
    \36\ See Proposed NYSE Rule 7.36(h)(1)(B).
    \37\ See Proposed NYSE Rule 7.36(h)(2)(E).
    \38\ See Proposed NYSE Rule 7.36(h)(3)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Proposed NYSE Rule 7.37 would govern how orders would execute and
route. Proposed NYSE Rule 7.37(a) would govern order execution.
Proposed NYSE Rule 7.37(b) would govern order allocation, as described
further below. And proposed NYSE Rule 7.37(c)-(g) would govern routing,
the data feeds the Exchange would use, the prohibition on quotations
that lock or cross the protected best bid or offer, and exceptions to
the Commission's Order Protection Rule.
    The Exchange represents that proposed Rule 7.37 is based on NYSE
Arca Rule 7.37-E(a)-(f) and NYSE American Rule 7.37E(a)-(f), with the
following substantive differences. The proposed rule would not include
references to Inside Limit Orders and orders with specific routing
instructions since the Exchange will not offer these order types.
Proposed NYSE Rule 7.37 would not include rule text from NYSE Arca
Rules 7.37-E(b)(3) or (d)(1) \39\ because, like NYSE American, the
Exchange would neither use data feeds from broker-dealers nor route to
away markets that do not display protected quotations. Also, in
proposed NYSE Rule 7.37(a), the Exchange would use the proposed new
term ``Aggressing Order'' instead of ``incoming marketable order'' when
referring to orders that would be matched for execution.\40\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \39\ NYSE Arca Rule 7.37-E(b)(3) provides ETP Holders the option
to bypass away markets that are not displaying protected quotations.
NYSE Arca Rule 7.37-E(d)(1) states that NYSE Arca receives data
feeds directly from broker-dealers for the purpose of routing
interest to away markets that are not displaying protected
quotations.
    \40\ See supra note 37.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Proposed NYSE Rule 7.37(b) would establish how Aggressing Orders
are allocated against contra-side orders. The Exchange represents that
the proposed rule is based in part on current NYSE Rule 72(c) with the
following substantive differences: (1) The Exchange would maintain
separate allocation wheels at each price for displayed and non-
displayed orders on each side of the market; \41\ (2) allocations to a
Floor Broker Participant would be allocation to orders represented by
that Floor Broker on parity; (3) the proposed rule would not reference
DMM allocations as there would be no DMMs assigned to UTP Securities;
(4) the Exchange would offer Mid-Point Liquidity Orders (``MPL'') with
a Minimum Trading Size (``MTS''), and the orders would be allocated
based on MTS size and time; \42\ (5) if resting orders on one side of
the market are repriced and become marketable against contra-side
orders on the Exchange book, the Exchange would rank the re-priced
orders as described in proposed NYSE Rule 7.36(c) and trade them as
Aggressing Orders consistent with their ranking; and (6) proposed NYSE
Rule 7.37(b)(9) would provide that if resting orders on both sides of
the market are repriced and become marketable against one another, the
Exchange would rank the orders based on proposed NYSE Rule 7.36(c) and
determine which orders are the Aggressing Orders based on their
ranking.\43\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \41\ Current NYSE Rule 72(c)(viii) sets forth a single
allocation wheel for each security. According to the Exchange, the
proposed NYSE Rule for Pillar would permit a member organization to
establish a position at each price point, instead of simply adding
the order to a single allocation wheel with multiple price points.
    \42\ See Proposed NYSE Rule 7.37(b)(1)(E)).
    \43\ The Exchange proposes that NYSE Rules 15A, 19, 72(c), 1000,
1001, 1002, and 1004 would not apply to trading UTP Securities on
Pillar. As NYSE Rule 72(d) would also not apply to trading UTP
Securities on the Pillar trading platform, the Exchange proposes
that NYSE Rule 72 in its entirety would not apply to trading UTP
Securities on Pillar.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Proposed NYSE Rule 7.38 sets forth how odd-lot and mixed-lot orders
would be ranked and executed. The Exchange represents that the proposed
rule is based on NYSE Arca Rule 7.38-E and NYSE American 7.38E, except
that, if the display price of an odd-lot order to buy (sell) is greater
than (less than) its working price, the order would be ranked and
allocated based on its display price.\44\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \44\ The Exchange proposes that current NYSE Rule 61 (Recognized
Quotations) would not be applicable to trading UTP Securities on
Pillar.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Tick Size Pilot Plan
    Proposed NYSE Rule 7.46 sets forth the rules for the Tick Size
Pilot Plan. The Exchange represents that the proposed rule is based on
NYSE American Rule 7.46E, except that: (1) The Exchange would not
include text relating to Market Pegged Orders or Limit IOC Cross Orders
(as the Exchange would not offer these orders); (2)

proposed NYSE Rules 7.46(f)(5)(A) and (B) would govern ranking and
allocation for Pilot Securities in Test Group Three instead of Rules
7.36(e) and 7.37(b)(1), respectively; \45\ and (3) proposed NYSE Rules
7.46(f)(5)(F)(i)(a) and (b) are based on NYSE Arca Rules 7.46-
E(f)(5)(F)(i)(a) and (b) because NYSE American does not offer Day ISO
orders. Proposed NYSE Rules 7.46(f)(5)(F)(ii) and (iii) include ALO
orders, which, like Day ISO orders, are not offered by NYSE
American.\46\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \45\ The Exchange did not provide a reason for this rule change.
    \46\ The Exchange proposes that current NYSE Rule 67 (Tick Size
Pilot Plan) would not be applicable for trading in UTP Securities on
Pillar.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Amendments to NYSE Rules 103B and 107B

    The Exchange proposes to amend NYSE Rule 103B(I) (Security
Allocation and Reallocation) to state that UTP Securities will not be
allocated to a DMM Unit. Also, the Exchange proposes to amend NYSE Rule
107B (Supplemental Liquidity Providers) to change ``NYSE-listed
securities'' to ``NYSE-traded securities.'' According to the Exchange,
the change reflects that UTP Securities would be eligible for
assignment to Supplemental Liquidity Providers.

C. Retail Liquidity Program Not Available on Pillar

    The Exchange does not plan to offer a retail liquidity program for
UTP Securities on Pillar. For this reason, the Exchange proposes that
NYSE Rule 107C would not apply to trading UTP Securities on Pillar.
Also, proposed rules based on NYSE Arca rules that cross reference NYSE
Arca Rule 7.44-E would not include that rule reference.

D. Current NYSE Rules Not Applicable to Pillar

    Under the Exchange's proposal, several current NYSE rules would not
apply to trading in UTP Securities as they are superseded by the
proposed rules. Several additional rules, which do not have
counterparts in the proposed Pillar rules, would not apply to trading
in UTP Securities as they are related to auctions and floor-based
point-of-sale trading. Further information about current NYSE rules
that would not apply to UTP trading on the Pillar platform can be found
in the Notice.\47\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \47\ See Notice, supra note 3, 82 FR at 37270, for a list of
NYSE rules that are not applicable to Pillar.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Proceedings To Determine Whether To Approve or Disapprove the
Proposal

    The Commission is instituting proceedings pursuant to Section
19(b)(2) of the Act \48\ to determine whether the Exchange's proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved. The Commission believes
it is appropriate to institute proceedings at this time in view of the
legal and policy issues raised by the proposal, as discussed below.
Institution of proceedings does not indicate that the Commission has
reached any conclusions with respect to any of the issues involved.
Rather, as described in greater detail below, the Commission seeks and
encourages interested persons to provide additional comment on the
proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \48\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act, the Commission is
providing notice of the grounds for disapproval under consideration. In
particular, the Commission is instituting proceedings to allow for
additional analysis of the proposed rule change's consistency with
Sections 6(b)(5) and 6(b)(8) of the Act.\49\ Section 6(b)(5) requires,
among other things, that the rules of a national securities exchange be
designed ``to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices,
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.'' \50\ In addition, Section 6(b)(5) of the Act
prohibits the rules of an exchange from being ``designed to permit
unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or
dealers.'' \51\ Section 6(b)(8) of the Act, requires that the rules of
a national securities exchange ``not impose any burden on competition

    As discussed above, NYSE proposes to commence UTP trading of Tape B
and C securities and to do so on its new Pillar trading platform. There
would be no DMM assigned to UTP Securities; there would be no Floor-
based point of sale for UTP Securities; the Exchange would not conduct
auctions in UTP Securities; and the Exchange would allocate executions
in UTP Securities using a modified version of its parity allocation
system, granting one place on the allocation wheel to each Floor Broker
Participant and one place on the allocation wheel to orders
collectively represented in the Exchange Book. Additionally, Floor
Brokers would be able to use certain order types, such as Pegging
Orders, that would not be available to other market participants.\53\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \53\ After Market Orders trade based on time and the order with
Setter Priority, if eligible, receives an allocation, Proposed NYSE
Rule 7.37(b) allocates orders based on parity by Participant.
Proposed NYSE Rule 7.36(a)(5) defines Participant as a Floor broker
trading license (a ``Floor Broker Participant'') or orders
collectively represented in the Exchange Book that have not been
entered by a Floor broker (``Book Participant'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission seeks commenters' views on whether the Exchange's
proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) and Section 6(b)(8) of the
Act. In particular, the Commission seeks commenters' view on the
following questions.
     Unlike the Exchange's existing trading model for its
listed securities, there would be no DMM assigned to UTP Securities, no
Floor-based point of sale for UTP Securities, no Crossing Orders, and
no auction in UTP Securities. Given these differences from the market
structure in which Floor Brokers currently operate, what are
commenters' views on the role that Floor Brokers would play in trading
UTP Securities on the Exchange?
     What benefits or costs, if any, would the activities of
Floor Brokers create for trading of UTP Securities on the Exchange?
What benefits or costs, if any, would accrue to the customers of the
Floor Brokers? Would these benefits or costs vary depending on the type
of Floor Broker customer or the means the customer used to submit an
order through a Floor Broker? What benefits or costs, if any, would
accrue to participants on the Exchange that are not customers of a
Floor Broker?
     Would providing Floor Brokers with parity allocation in
UTP Securities, or providing them with exclusive use of certain order
instructions, unfairly discriminate against market participants who do
not submit orders through a Floor Broker? Would providing parity to
Floor Brokers, or providing them with exclusive use of certain order
instructions, impose a burden on competition that is not necessary or
appropriate?

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    The Commission requests that interested persons provide written
submissions of their views, data and arguments with respect to the
concerns identified above, as well as any others they may have with the
proposal. In particular, the Commission invites the written views of
interested persons concerning whether the proposal is inconsistent with
Section 6(b)(5), Section 6(b)(8), or any other provision of the Act, or
the rules and regulation

thereunder. Although there do not appear to be any issues relevant to
approval or disapproval which would be facilitated by an oral
presentation of views, data, and arguments, the Commission will
consider, pursuant to Rule 19b-4, any request for an opportunity to
make an oral presentation.\54\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \54\ Section 19(b)(2) of the Act, as amended by the Securities
Act Amendments of 1975, Public Law 94-29 (June 4, 1975), grants the
Commission flexibility to determine what type of proceeding--either
oral or notice and opportunity for written comments--is appropriate
for consideration of a particular proposal by a self-regulatory
organization. See Securities Act Amendments of 1975, Senate Comm. on
Banking, Housing & Urban Affairs, S. Rep. No. 75, 94th Cong., 1st
Sess. 30 (1975).
