Date: February 10, 2021. Christian Marsh, Deputy secretary for application and compliance. Anhang I Scope of the investigation

The scope of this examination covers the wire grille (wire grille) steel wire from smooth or deformed wires.The subject's wire network is produced on square and rectangular rods of evenly distributed steel wires that are soldiers in all crosses.Combine the wires of the wires in customs or millimeters and the cross -sectional area of the wire in square roll or millimeters to the square.The subject wire network can be packed and sold in roles or in leaves.

The wire network for the ASTM A1064/A1064M specification is currently generated, which covers in the following seven styles for concrete for concrete: smooth and deformed soldier wire:

1.6 x 6 w1.4 / w1.4 out d1, 4 / d1.4 2. 6 x 6 W2.1/W2.1 OU D2.1/d2.1 3. 6 x 6 W2.9/W2.9 OU D2.9/D2.9 4. 6 x 6 W4/W4 oder D4/D4 5. 6 x 12 W4/W4 oder D4/D4 6. 4 x 4 W2.9/W2.9 OU D2.9/d2.9 7. 4 x 4 W4/W4 oder D4/D4

The first number in style shows the nominal distance between the longitudinal wires and the second number shows the nominal distance between the cross wires.In the first above -mentioned style, “6 x 6” shows a six -inch size by six inches."W" indicates the use of smooth and "D" wire, which indicates the use of deformed wire in the manufacture of the network.The number according to W or D indicates the nominal transverse surface of the transverse and longitudinal wires in hundredths square (Dh,,W1.4 or D1.4 is 0.014 Quadratzoll).

The simple wire is a wire with a even diameter of the cross -section along the length of the wire.

The deformed wire is the wire with high cross -sections or ribs with a high intersection, which leads to a wire that has no even diameter of the cross -section along the length of the wire.

Wire network rollers are produced in the following nominal latitudes and combinations:

Styled: 6 x 6 w1.4/w1.4 or d1.4/d1.4 (()Dh,,Caliber 10) Roll sizes: 5 'x 50' ' 5 'x 150' ' 6 'x 150' 5 'x 200' 7 'x 200' 7,5 'x 200' Estela: i x, 1 time.Dh,,Caliber 8) Roll sizes: 5 'x 150' ' Estala: IX, A, A/A.A.A./R./DiQA (Dh,,6 Meter) Roll sizes: 5 'x 150' ' 7 'x 200' The entire rolled -up wire grille is included in the range regardless of the length. Wire grille leaves are produced in the following nominal width styles and combinations: Styled: 6 x 6 w1.4/w1.4 or d1.4/d1.4 (()Dh,,Caliber 10) Paper size: 3'6 "x 7 ' 4 'x 7' 4 'x 7'6' ' 5 'x 10' ' 7 'x 20' ' 7'6 ″ x 20 ' 8 'x 12'6' ' 8 'x 15' 8 'x 20' Estela: i x, 1 time.Dh,,Caliber 8) Paper size: 5 'x 10' ' 7 'x 20' ' 7'6 ″ x 20 ' 8 'x 12'6' ' 8 'x 15' 8 'x 20' Estala: IX, A, A/A.A.A./R./DiQA (Dh,,6 Meter) Paper size: 3'6 "x 20 ' 5 'x 10' ' 7 'x 20' ' 7'6 ″ x 20 ' 8 'x 12'6' ' 8 'x 15' 8 'x 20' Stil: 6 x 12 W4/W4 oder D4/D4 (Dh,,4 Meter) Paper size: 8 'x 20' Estela: 4 x 4 Wa a./A.A.A.A.Dh,,6 Meter) Paper size: 5 'x 10' ' 7 'x 20' ' 7'6 ″ x 20 ' 8 'x 12'6' ' 8 'x 12'8' ' 8 'x 15' 8 'x 20' Stil: 4 x 4 W4/W4 oder D4/D4 (Dh,,4 Meter) Paper size: 5 'x 10' ' 8 'x 12'6' ' 8 'x 12'8' ' 8 'x 15' 8 'x 20'

Each imported product that is sold or charged in one of these size combinations is in the area.

The ASTM A1064/A1064M specification provides variations that are permitted in wire measuring devices, the distance between cross and longitudinal wires and combinations of length and width.The extent to which a role or a leaf of wire lattice falls into these permissible variations is in this area.

ASTM A1064/A1064M specification also defines an excessive correction, namely the use of a heavier lane with a larger crossing area The producer can exaggerate and increase the diameter of the smooth or deformed wire to two full number size steps in Table 1 of A1064.The subject has the following real diameter ranges of the wire, which are responsible for excess tolerance and diameter:

W/d Nr. Maximal
  • to exceed
  • Not.
  • Diameter range
  • (Customs service)
  • 1.4 (Dh,,Caliber 10) 3.4 0,093 A 0,211 2.1 (Dh,,Caliber 8) 4.1 0,161 A 0,231 2.9 (Dh,,6 Meter) 4.9 0,189 A 0,253 4.0 (Dh,,4 Meter) 6.0 0,223 A 0,280

    To the extent that a roller or weld wire network falls into the variations specified above, it is in this area.

    In addition to the tolerances permitted in the ASTM A1064/A1064M specification, the wire network in this area contains combinations in which:

    1. A combination of width and/or length varies depending on ± grid size in every direction,Dh,,± 6 inches length or width, the size of the wire grille "6 x 6" and/or is

    2. Central distance The center between the individual wires can vary up to a space of the size of the specified nominal network.

    The length is measured by the ends of each wire and the width between the central line of the final longitudinal wires is measured.

    Although the subject wire network usually meets ASTM A1064/A1064M, the failure of certifications, test reports or other documentation that determines that the product of this specification fulfills does not remove the product from the rifle scope.For comparable external specifications (for comparable foreign bodies (FOR EXAMPLE,De, jis,etc.) or proprietary specifications are included in the area.

    The wire network is excluded from the rifle scope, which is galvanized (Dh,,Coated with zinc) or coated with an epoxy coating in order to be excluded as galvanized, the deleted welded wire grille should have a zinc coating thickness applied to the surface of the steel wire.

    The goods subject to this investigation are classified as a harmonized tariff plan for categories 7314.20.0000 and 7314.39.0000.While the HTSU subtitles are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the writing description of the scope of this investigation is ready.

    Further information:

    Fort Benning plays a crucial role in supporting the comprehensive mission of the army.As an army MCO, the home of the army arms and infantry schools, Fort Benning has to support the institutional training of soldiers and infantry and armaments.Opportunity to react to a wide range of situations that you can expect on the modern battlefield.Security force, Infantry-Task Force 1-28 and the elements of the 75th Ranger Regiment.

    Fort Benning should be able to train and develop highly qualified and coherent units that are able to carry out operations throughout possible conflicts throughout the spectrum.The Good Hope Manövring Training Area (GHMTA) maneuver maneuvers of sufficiently heavy street maneuvers.The strategy of army training has changed from GHMTA in "Movement and maneuvers between the domains", which requires an additional coherent area for a strong off-road maneuver.

    The final ice analyzes the possible environmental and socio-economic effects associated with the proposed action, including direct, indirect and cumulative effects.Disadvantaged effects of reduction through environmentally friendly prevention and design, such as:Maximum practical expansion.This is the final detection of additional reduction measures that the army can carry out in order to further reduce the identified adverse effects.

    The army concluded the consultation for this action in accordance with Section 7 of the Threatened Species Act, and this is included in ice.

    The army identified three appropriate action alternatives that would achieve the goal and the need for the proposed action;These three alternatives of action (Dh,,Three different locations in Fort Benning, where a Homma could be built) are analyzed in detail in the final.

    1.Alternative 1 (preferred alternative): Training area of maneuvers that are assembled in the northern alternative:This alternative comprises approximately 4,724 ACRs and is located next to and east of the current northern and western maneuvers as well as near the digital complex for Fort Benning (DMPRC).

    Alternative 1 would offer the most preferred size and configuration of the shape alternatives to enable high-quality off-road heavy maneuvre training.

    2.Alternativa 2: Red Diamond Alternative:This alternative comprises approximately 3,744 tomorrow and is located south of the southern maneuver representative area (SMTA) near the southern border of the installation.

    3.Alternative 3: Oriental border Alternative:This alternative comprises approximately 2,405 ACRES and is located between the Northern Duzada Impact Area and the eastern border of the installation.

    The army directed the alternative without measures for detailed analysis in the final.Although the alternative without action did not achieve the goal and the need for the proposed action, this alternative was retained in order to provide a comparative basic line against which the effects of analyzed action alternatives, as required by the Council for the NEPA regulation of environmental quality.

    The resource areas analyzed in the final include:Land use (relaxation), air quality, noise, floors and topography, water resources (including damp zones and flood areas), biological resources, cultural resources, socio -economics, infrastructure as well as dangerous and toxic waste and waste.

    Based on the analysis presented in the ice -ended analysis, potentially significant adverse effects on biological resources can occur (biological resources (Dh,,Disorder of unique ecological areas).Effects on all other resource areas would be less than significant (Dh,,insignificant, smaller or moderate) disadvantage or advantageous.Practical reduction measures are finally presented to reduce possible adverse effects.

    All shape alternatives for the proposed campaign can adverse the wetlands and/or flood areas of 100 years.As a result, the army also prepared a Fonp to comply with the executive regulation (E.O.) 11988,Flutebene Management,and E.O.11990,Protection of wet areas.As in the final environmental protection measures (described) (FOR EXAMPLE,Strong maneuvering training -buffers) and regulatory conformity measures (measures to comply with regulations (FOR EXAMPLE,Allow CWA sections 401 and 404 would be implemented to minimize adverse effects on these resources.

    Between May 29 and July 13, 2020, the army carried out a public review and comment period for the EIS draft, including a public conference on the telephone conference on June 30, 2020. The army tested and worked on the final ice comments that duringthis commentary period had been received by the EIS project.

    Fall number 2020-010 Preliminary ordinance of the renunciation I. Background and authority

    The law of politics and energy and preservation, as is changing ("epca"),2 The US Ministry of Energy ("doe") approves the energy efficiency of various consumer goods and certain industrial devices (42 US US equipment 6291-6317).3 EPCA (42 U.S.C. A large number of provisions to improve the energy efficiency of certain types of industrial devices. There are changes caused by the energy independence and security law of 2007, public law 110-140, § 312 (December 19, 2007).Equipment includes walking in cooler and walk-in freezer cooling systems (together "walk-in") is the focus of this document (42 U.S.C. 6311 (G)).

    2All references to EPCA in this document relate to the law, which changed by the Water Infrastructure Law 2018, public law 115-270 (October 23, 2018).

    3For editorial reasons, part C was redesigned as part A-1 after coding in the US code.

    The EPCA's energy conservation program essentially consists of four parts: (1) test, (2) labeling, (3) Standards for the energy conservation of the federal government and (4) certification and application procedures.Relevant EPCA determinations include settings (42 USC 6311), energy preserving patterns (42 U.S.C. 6313), test procedures (42 U.S.C. 6314), labeling provisions (42 U.S.C. 6315) and the authorization, information and reports from manufacturers (42 US.6316).

    Federal test requirements consist of test procedures that the manufacturers of equipment use as a basis for: (1) certifying what makes their equipment conform to the applicable power protection standard(s) and (2) representations of the efficiency of that equipment (42 U.S.C. 6314(d)). Similarly, the DOE should use these test procedures to determine whether the covered device conforms to relevant EPCA standards (42 USC 6316 ((42 USC) (6316 A); 42 U.S.C. 6295 (s))

    At 42 U.S.C.6314, EPCA establishes the criteria and procedures and requires that the test procedures be excessive (42 U.S.C. 6314(a)(2)). The test procedure for walk-in refrigeration systems is contained in the Federal Regulations Code ("CFR") at 10 CFR Part 431, Subpart R, Schedule C,,Uniform test method for measuring liquid capacity and walk-in Awef on refrigerator and freezer refrigeration systems("Appendix C").

    Under 10 CFR 431.401, any interested person can send a petition to do without the requirements of the DOE test procedure.Dure grants a resignation of the test procedure if the basic model for which the waiver has been requested model test according to the prescribed test procedures or that the prescribed test procedures rate the basic omodel, add all the alternative test procedures known from the petent to evaluate the equipment type performanceIn a way that is representative for the energy consumption characteristics of the basic model, resignation is subject to conditions, including the adhesion of analysis test procedures, which are specified by DOE.10 CFR 431.401 (f) (2).

    Once viable after granting a withdrawal, it will be published in the publicationFederal registrationA warning of the proposal to change its regulations to eliminate the continuation of this resignation.10 CFR 431.401 (L).Federal registrationA final rule for this effect.Identity.

    The withdrawal process also provides that the DOE can grant a preliminary resignation.It is likely that the underlying application for cancellation will be granted and/or if the DO determines that it would be desirable for reasons of public order if the resignation of the resignation. 10 CFR 431.401 (E) (2).The DOE: (i) will be the date of a year after the issuing of a preliminary cancellation.Federal registrationa determination for resignation;or (ii) in the publication in theFederal registrationA new or changed test procedure that deals with the problems presented in the resignation.10 CFR 431.401 (H) (1).

    If DOE changes the test procedure to solve the problems presented in a resignation, the resignation is automatically concluded on the date on which the use of this test procedure is required to demonstrate compliance. 10 CFR 431.401 (2).

    II.Hussmann's application for preliminary resignation and resignation

    On July 16, 2020, Hussmann waived the procedure for absurding and a preliminary resignation of the walk -in cooling systema.4 ).2Direct expansion unit basic subject models (Hussmann, No. 1 in pp. 7-8) .hussmann notes that the test conditions of the Institute for Air conditioning, heating and cooling ("Ahri") described in Table 15 and Table 15 Standard 1250-2009,,Standard for the performance classification of refrigerators and freezer cabinets("Ahri 1250-2009") (for refrigerator units and freezing units that have been tested themselves), not reached by the specified basic models and do not match the operation by Hussmann'sco2Direct expansion unit Schiefränke.hussmann explained that Co2It has a critical temperature of 87.8 ° F5 , eTherefore, the required net input saturation temperature of 105 ° F and the temperature of the required 9 ° F liquid input -SUB fluid that is required in the DOE test procedure is CO2Booster -System (Hussmann, Nr. 1 in S.3).

    4A notation in the form "Hussmann, No. 1" identifies a written submission: (1) by Hussmann manufactured;and (2) recorded in document number 1, which is submitted on the stock exchange of this withdrawal (Boat No. EEE -2020 -BT -WAV -0026) and available inhttp://www.regulations.gov/docket?D=EERE-2020-BT-WAV-0026.

    5The test procedure gives the soda -soda input state of the unit with regard to the saturation temperature (the temperature in which the condenser process in a capacitor) and the interruption temperature (additional reduction at temperature is lower than the temperature is completed.2The critical temperature, above which no separate fluid and gas phases can be, is below the saturation stateThe specified condition is therefore not achieved in the test procedure.

    Hussmann's statements refer to the difference in the thermodynamic properties between CO2And other lemonades.In modest pressure (Dh,,Under the critical point), many substances move from a solid to a liquid with increasing temperature.For example, a pure substance as water transports from steam to a certain temperature.FOR EXAMPLE.212 ° F, with atmospheric pressure.To the extent to which heat is added during a gas transition, the backwards occurs when the heat is removed.However, the transition temperature depends on the pressure.The higher the pressure, the higher the transition temperature.This is a basic principle in cooling systems that work at two associated pressure levels at two temperatures.A. Soda absorbs heat when it is low temperature and pressure, converts into gas and cools the surrounding room.At high temperature and pressure, the soda continues to high pressure in a liquid and an accelerator (pressure reduction device) are used to (condenses) the pressure after soda to reduce soda with high pressure.

    All soft drinks have a "critical pressure" and a "critical temperature" that cannot coexist with fluid and steam phases.In this critical point, soda is a gas and its temperature rises or decreases when it is added or removed.Critical pressure is so high for all conventional soft drinks that it is never exceeded in typical cold cycles.example6 With an associated critical temperature of 161.7 ° F.in2It behaves differently, with a critical pressure of 1,072 PSIA in connection with a critical temperature that is well below 87.8 ° f.The refrigerant temperature should be slightly higher than 87.8 ° F and the performance of many cooling and air conditioning systems is tested using an ambient temperature of 95 ° F, as indicated in Ahri 1250-2009 Section 52The soda is in an overcritical state (Dh,,A state with pressure over critical temperature) and heat is transferred to the environment.How useful cooling is made available at a critical temperature,2It is said that the cycles are transcritical.

    6The absolute pressure is the pressure that is measured in relation to a complete vacuum, "PSIA" represents the absolute pressure in pounds per square folle.

    The transcritical nature of the CO2Usually it takes a more complex cooling cycle design to fix the efficiency of conventional lemonades (Dh,,R404A, R407A, R448A etc.) during operation under high temperature conditions.To increase efficiency and prevent overheating (or use overheating to prevent (or use) multiple ball and intercool stadiums.2It is cooled in the gas refrigerator of a transcritical reinforcement system and extends with a high -pressure control valve and is delivered to an under -critical compressed flash tank.Be separated in the flash tank.A unit fridge in a CO2The reinforcement system would be supplied with flash -fluid flash with flash tank by expanding valves in which the soda is evaporated.Dambled soda will later be compressed into a gas cooler pressure at the end of the cycle (Hussmann, No. 5).

    Hussmann also applies for a preliminary resignation from the existing DOE test procedure.Donation grants a preliminary resignation if it is likely that the application for withdrawal is granted and/or if the DOE determines that it would be desirable for public policy to grant an immediate relief.Waiting for a determination of the cancellation petition.Ver10 CFR 431.401 (s) (2).

    Based on the statements of the petition, a preliminary resignation is missing, the prescribed test procedure is not suitable for Hussmann's CO2Direct expansion unit -coolers and test conditions are unavailable because2The refrigerant has a critical temperature of 87.8 ° F and the current DOE test procedure requires a net input saturation temperature of 105 ° F. The inability to achieve test conditions for the declared basic models to combat the operating conditions of Hussmann devices.

    III.

    EPCA requires manufacturers to use the applicable DOE test procedures by making electricity consumption representations and energy consumption costs for covered devices (42 US US US devices).Applicable doe energy savings standards.Alternative tests for the basic models that are dealt with in the intermediate order of the withdrawal.

    Hussmann tries to test and classify certain CO2Direct expansion unit Basic models cooler with modifications in the doe test method refrigerators.Hussmann also recommends that subject units are used in transcritical CO2Booster systems, calculations in Ahri 1250-2009 Section 7.9 should be used AHRI 1250-2009 is prescribed by the doe test procedure to determine AWEF for all tested refrigerators (see 10 CFR part 431, sub-section C, section 3.3.1).17 (eer [Energy Efficiency Zinex] for remote commercial and memory cabinets) should be used to determine EER values and power consumption for the subject CO2Cooling systems for direct expansion units, as required in the DOE test procedure.

    4.

    Doe analyzed the application of Hussmann, the proposed test approach, industry materials in relation to CO2Transcritical reinforcement systems and Hussmann consumer materials, including locations and product specifications for the basic models listed in the petition of Hussmann.com.Precise measurement of the energy efficiency of certain basic models, while they alleviate test problems in connection with the implementation of the cooler and walk-in freezer test for these basic models by Hussmann.CO review.2The cooling market confirms that the test conditions of the test approach proposed by Hussmann are representative of the operation of a unit fridge used in a transcribed CO2amplificationsystem.co2This is cooled down in the gas refrigerator of a transcritical reinforcement system2For an under -critical pressure flash tank in which the liquid and soda steam phases are separated.The liquid is then divided and the uniform cooling cabinets receive the soda in the same state, which with the use of the same net input saturation temperature for medium and low temperature corresponds to systems in the test approach of Hussmann.2Project cooling system projects show that the 38 ° f 38 ° C cooler -saturation temperature proposed by Hussmann is representative of CO2Booster Systems (Hussmann, No. 5).With regard to the use of EER values in Ahri 1250-2009 Table 17 to determine the representative energy consumption of the compressor for CO2Unit cooling systems, research on the performance of various CO configurations2Booster systems show that the Enhanced Co.2Cycles (such as those used in transcritical reinforcement systems) can correspond to conventional soft drinks in the average annual efficiency (Hussmann, No. 2).In Ahri 1250-2009 Table 17 to determine the power consumption for CO2Vaporizers of the reinforcement system, despite these improved values that were originally set for systems with conventional refreshment drinks.As a result, Doe found that Hussmann's application for withdrawal was likely to be granted.In addition, he found that for reasons of public policy it is desirable for reasons, they result in Hussmann immediate relief and waits for a determination of the application for withdrawal.

    For the reasons declared, it isorderedIt is:

    (1) Hussmann should test and evaluate the following CO2Direct expansion unit Basic models cooler with the alternative test procedure defined in paragraph (2).

    Basic models for which a resignation is requested:

    Manufacturer Marke Basic model Husband Crack Krd ***-*** c ***. Husband Crack G*d ***-*** c ***. Husband Crack Lhd ***-*** c ***. Husband Crack Mkd ***-*** c ***.

    (2) The basic models from Hussmann identified in paragraph (1) of this intermediate order must be tested according to the test procedure for the cooling and freezing cooling systems of walk-in and walk-in hiking methods in doe at 10 CFR part 431, underproof C (Appendix C ("Appendix C"), with the exception that the test condition of the liquid input saturation temperature and the temperature state of the sub-fluid to 38 ° F or 5 ° F for the refrigerator should be modified for the units and walk-on-walk-US cooling blocks of the freezer unitas described below.All other requirements of the regulations in Appendix C and DOE are still applicable.

    In Appendix C in Section 3.1.General changes: test conditions and tolerances,Review section 3.1.5. To read the following:

    (3)Representations.Hussmann cannot represent the energy efficiency of a basic model for compliance, marketing or other purposes listed in paragraph (1), unless the results of such tests.

    (4) This average treading order must remain in force in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 431.401.

    (5) This medium order of the resignation is issued on the condition that the statements and representations provided by Hussmann are valid.Invalid waiver in relation to the test procedure.CV or change this waiver at any time if the factual basis that is based on the petition for the intermediate order of withdrawal is wrong or the results of the alternative test procedure are not representative of the actual energy consumption features of the basic model. 10 CFR 431.401 ((K) (1). From the same way, Hussmann can apply for the DOE to save or change the medium order of resignation or change for other suitable reasons. 10 CFR 431.401 (2).

    The application is currently not ready for environmental analysis.

    n.Project description:Philadelphia's existing hydropower project consists of (1) a reservoir from 65 hectares to a maximum increase in the normal water surface of 475.4 feet;1 (2) Two concrete tribes that are connected by an island and as 60 feet and 2 to 3 foot east deviation embankment with a 474.4 foot crest and are covered with 1.2 lightning boards, measure up and westA total of approximately approximately about approx. About approximately approximately 30 feet and 10.4 feet, with a 475.4-foot comb;;Facilities.The annual average generation was 10,092,492 kilowatt hours for the 2016 and 2020 period.

    1All surveys are in a national geodetic vertical data from 1929.

    Eony currently operates the project in the Rio mode and discharges a minimum flow of 20 cubic feet per second (CFS) with an extended range of 1,250 feet to design aquatic resources.

    As part of the license application, Eony submitted a comparison agreement with each other, the US fish and wildlife service and the Department of Environmental Protection in New York.As part of the comparison contract, Eony proposes: (1) the project continues to operate in a river mode;(2)Provision of a minimal river with a redirected range of 28 CFS;2 (3) Install seasonal waste with a distance of 1 inch (4) to make fishing platform accessible to people with disabilities, including the addition of an accessible parking space, an assigned access corridor and access space accessible access route, which is available for platform fishing and changes for parapetis accessible around the fishing platform.

    2Eony found that the minimum flow proposed by 28 CFS would not lead to incremental generation losses compared to the current state, since the existing measurement of the minimum flow field was approximately 28 CFS, which was responsible for flashboarding and was probably present during the existing license.

    Patent rights in these inventions were attributed to the United States government and/or only licensed.

    The potential exclusive license area can be worldwide and the field of use can be limited to the following:

    "The development, production and marketing of an immunotherapy based on the chimeric antigen receptor (car) of anti-CD19 using auto-lodg T-lymphocytes (which means that a person is both the donor and the recipient) that have been transfected with a lentivirus, in which the vector expresses a car at least:

    (1) The sequences of the complementary destination region (CDR) of the anti-CD19 antibody, known as HU19;

    (2) a CD8a hinge and transmembrane domain;

    (3) and a CD28z T cell signaling domain;

    for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

    This technology reveals the development of chimeric antigen receptors that recognize the cell surface protein CD19. CD19 is expressed on the cell surface of several autoimmune disease cells including lupus nephritis. Many autoimmune diseases have no FDA-approved therapies, underscoring an unmet need. The development of a therapeutic for autoimmune diseases that targets CD19 will benefit public health by providing treatment to patients who may not have options.

The Prospective Exclusive License entails royalties and the Prospective Exclusive License may be granted unless written evidence and arguments are received by the National Cancer Institute within fifteen (15) days of the date of this announcement that the grant of the license does not comply with the requirements of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR Part 404.

    In response to this notice, the public may submit comments or objections. Comments and objections, other than those in the form of a completed License Application, will be non-confidential and may be made publicly available.

    Registration of the setup and listing of products for manufacturers of human blood and blood products and licensed devices - 21 CFR part 607 OMB control number 0910-0052-extension

    This collection of information supports the agency's regulations. Section 510 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360) requires any person who owns or operates a facility that manufactures, prepares, distributes, mixes, or processes a drug or device to register with the Department of Health and Human Services Resources Services, on or before December 31 of each year, among other information, its name, place of business and all such entities and must submit a list of all drug and device products manufactured, manufactured, distributed, assembled or processed by him or them for commercial distribution, among other information. In 21 CFR Part 607, the FDA issued regulations to implement these requirements for manufacturers of human blood and blood products.

    The regulations establish procedures and requirements related to facility and product listing registrations for manufacturers of human blood and blood products and licensed devices, including initial registration, annual registration, product listing updates, and exemption requests. Owners or operators of certain facilities that manufacture blood products are required to register and provide a list of all blood products in commercial distribution (21 CFR 607.20(a)). Initial and subsequent registrations and product listings must be submitted electronically through the FDA Center for Biological Evaluation and Research (CBER) product registration and listing system.or any future electronic replacement system, unless the FDA has approved a request to waive this requirement prior to the information due date (21 CFR 607.22(a)). Waiver requests must be in writing and must include, among other information, specific reasons why electronic submission is unreasonable for the registrant (21 CFR 607.22(b)). Facility registration and product listing information assists the FDA in its facility inspections, among other things, and its collection is essential to the overall regulatory system designed to ensure the safety of the country's blood supply.

    Description of the interviewees:Responses to this collection of information include human blood and plasma donation centers, blood banks, certain transfusion services, other blood product manufacturers, independent laboratories involved in quality control and testing for registered blood product establishments, and equipment manufacturers licensed under Section 351 of the Public Health Services Act.

    From 1998 to 2008, the FDA's National Retail Food Team conducted a study to measure trends in the occurrence of risk factors for foodborne illness, preparation practices, and employee behaviors that were most commonly reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as risk factors of foodborne illness retail diseases. Specifically, data was collected from FDA experts at retail and foodservice establishments at 5-year intervals (1998, 2003, and 2008) to monitor and document trends in the incidence of the following risk factors for foodborne illness:

    • food from unsafe sources,

    • Poor personal hygiene,

    • improper cooking,

    • keeping/time and temperature inappropriate and

    • Contaminated equipment/cross contamination.

    FDA Developed Reports Summarizing the Findings for Each of the Three Data Collection Periods, Released in 2000, 2004 and 2009 (References 1 To 3).Data from the Three Data Collection Periods Were Analyzed to Detect Improvement Or Regression Trends Over Time and To Determine What progress has been made to reduce the occurrence of risk factors of food that through food in the selected types of retail and food (lit.4) were transferred.

    Based on this 10-year research as a foundation from 2013 to 2014, the FDA started a new study period. This study covers 10 years. The FDA completed the collection of baseline data on select types of healthcare facilities, schools, and grocery stores in 2015 through 2016, and this data is being evaluated for trends and significance. A second data collection will be completed in 2019-2020 and will be completed when safe (pending Covid-19 pandemic) and an additional data collection is planned in 2023-2024 (subject of this information collection expansion). Therefore, data collections are required to trend data.

    Table 1 - Description of the installation types included in the search installation type description healthcare facilities Hospitals and long-term care facilities Catering establishments that prepare meals for high-risk populations, as defined below: • Hospital—A food service facility that meets the nutritional needs of inpatients by preparing and transporting meals to the patient's room and/or serving meals in a cafeteria (hospital meals may also be served to hospital staff and visitors). • Long Term Care Facility – A food service facility that provides meals for residents in a shared apartment, such as a homestay. B. nursing homes and facilities for assisted living prepared. Monitoring:For the purposes of this study, healthcare facilities that do not prepare or serve food to a highly vulnerable population, such as psychiatric facilities, are not included in this facility type category. Schools (K-12) Catering establishments whose main task is to prepare and serve meals for students in one or more grades from kindergarten to 12th grade. A school lunch service may be part of a public or private entity. retail grocery stores Supermarkets and grocery stores that have a delicatessen department/operation as described below: • Deli/Department - Areas in a retail store where foods such as meat and cheese are cut for customers and where sandwiches and salads are prepared on site or received in bulk containers by a steward, portioned and displayed. Portions of the deli may include: • Salad bars, pizzerias and other snack bars managed by the delicatessen manager. • Areas where other foods are cooked or prepared and offered for sale ready to eat and managed by the Delicatessen Manager. Data is also collected in the following areas of a supermarket or grocery store, if available: • Seafood Department/Facility – Areas in a retail store where seafood is cut, prepared, stored or displayed for sale to the consumer. In grocery retail stores where the seafood department is combined with another department (e.g. meat), the data collector only evaluates procedures and practices related to the processing of seafood. • Product Department/Facility - Areas in a grocery retail store where products are cut, prepared, stored or displayed for sale to the consumer. A production facility may include salad or juice stations managed by the production manager.

    The results of this 10-year study period will be used to:

    • Development of initiatives on nutritional security in retail, directed intervention guidelines and strategies that concentrate on the control of risk factors for diseases transmitted with food;

    • Provision of technical support for state, local, tribal and territorial regulatory experts;

    • Identify FDA retail work plan priorities and;

    • Enter FDA resource allocation to improve retail food safety nationwide.

    The legal basis for FDA conducting this study is the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) (42 U.S.C. 243, Section 311(a)). Responsibility for enforcing the food safety provisions of the PHS Act was transferred to the Food and Drug Commissioner in 1968 (21 CFR 5.10(a)(2) and (4)). In addition, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301The following is.) and the Economy Act (31 U.S.C. 1535) require the FDA to support other federal, state and local authorities.

    The objectives of this study are:

    • Identify less common risk factors for foodborne illness and food safety behaviors/practices at selected food retail establishments in the United States.

    • Determine to what extent food safety management systems and the presence of a certified food safety manager influence the emergence of risk factors for foodborne diseases and food safety behaviours/practices; and

    • Determine whether the occurrence of foodborne disease risk factors, food safety behaviors/practices in delicatessen shops differs depending on risk categorization and status of a facility as a single or multiple unit (FOR EXAMPLE,Establishments that are part of an establishment with two or more units).

    The methodology to be used for this information collection is described below. In order to obtain a sufficient number of observations to perform statistically significant analyses, the FDA will conduct approximately 400 data collections at each facility type. This sample size was calculated to provide enough observations to be 95 percent confident that the percent agreement is within 5 percent of the true percent agreement.

    A geographic information system database containing a listing of businesses in the United States provides the inventory of facilities for data collection. FDA samples existing facilities based on the descriptions in Table 1. The FDA does not intend to sample facilities that only handle prepackaged foods or conduct low-risk food preparation activities. The FDA Food Code provides a risk grouping of facilities based on the type of food preparation typically performed within the facility (Ref. 5). Businesses in risk classes 2 to 4 are intended.

    The FDA has approximately 25 regional food retail experts (experts) who act as data collectors for the 10-year study. The specialists are geographically spread across the United States and have technical knowledge of retail food safety and a solid understanding of the operations in each of the types of establishments studied. The experts are also standardized by staff at the FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition in the application and interpretation of the FDA Food Code (Ref. 5).

    Sampling zones have been established to correspond to a 175 mile radius of an expert's residence. The sample will be selected at random from all eligible farms located within these sample zones. Specialists are usually located in large metropolitan areas (This is,population centers) in the contiguous United States. Population centers often contain a large concentration of the facilities that the FDA intends to sample. Sampling in the sampling zones within 175 miles of the experts' homes provides three benefits to the study:

    1. Provides a cross-section of urban and rural areas for the selection of suitable establishments.

    2. Represents a mix of small, medium and large regulators with jurisdiction over eligible entities.

    3. Reduces night driving and hence travel costs incurred by the agency to collect data.

    The sample for each data collection period is distributed evenly among the experts. Because participation in the industry study is voluntary and the status of each randomly selected facility is subject to change, surrogate facilities were selected for each expert for instances where the institutional food service, school, or grocery store is misclassified, closed, or otherwise unavailable, not can or want to participate.

    Prior to conducting data collection, experts will contact the state or local jurisdiction that has jurisdiction to conduct retail food inspections for the selected company. The surveyor verifies with the jurisdiction that the facility has been properly classified and is in operation for the purposes of the study. The expert verifies that the selected facility is legally registered by the state or local regulator. If the selected institution is subject to a statutory period of notice, no data will be collected by the expert and a replacement institution will be used. The state or local regulator will be invited to accompany the expert in data collection.

    A standard form is used by experts during any data acquisition.The form is divided into three sections: Section 1 -"Information about the setup";Section 2 -"Information about the supervisory authority";and Section 3 -"Risk factor for food transmitted with food.

    Section 2 Information - "Regulatory Authority Information" is obtained during an interview with the director of the state or local jurisdiction program that has regulatory responsibility for conducting inspections for the selected facility. Section 3 consists of three parts: Part A through Tabulated expert observations on the behaviors and practices of food workers in controlling contamination, spread and survival of food safety risks; Part B to evaluate the food management system implemented by installation and Part C to evaluate the frequency and extent of food staff hand washing. Party information is gathered from the direct observations of experts on food worker behaviors and practices. little standard and poorly standardized and experts when experts are required in relation to procedure or practicefood safety. The information in Part B is collected by making direct observations and asking questions to installation management to obtain information on where the food facility is being developed and implemented that the management of food security is developed. by food workers. It is a question asked after completing Section 3, Part C of the form.

    The FDA collects the following information associated with the identity of the establishment: name of the facility, address, city, state, postcode, municipality, industry segment and type of installation.not duplicated. Information in connection with the type of company, such as capacity and number of employees per shift, are also collected. The data is consolidated and reported in order not to show the identity of an institutions included in the study.

    The FDA worked with the Food Protection and Defense Institute to develop a web -based platform on Foodshield to collect, store and analyze data for the retail risk factor. This platform is accessible to state, local, territorial and tribal regulatory jurisdictionto collect relevant data for your own risk factors. For data acquisition from 2015 to 2016, the FDA piloted the use of portable technology for collecting data on site during data collection. The tablets available for data collection were part of a broader FDA initiativeconcentrated on internal portable technology use purposes. The tablets for data acquisition showed several technical and logistical challenges and increased the time load associated with data acquisition compared to the manual input of the data acquisition. For these reasons, the FDA will be during the 10 -year study timeDo not include the use of portable technology in the subsequent data acquisition.

    When a data collector is assigned to a specific operation, he carries out the data collection and enters the information into the web-based data platform. The interface supports manual data entry as well as the ability to enter information directly into the database using a web browser.

    The payload for data collection from 2023 to 2024 is as follows. For each data collection, the following individuals are interviewed: (1) the person responsible for the selected entity (whether it is a health entity, school, or supermarket/grocery store); and (2) the program director (or a designated person) of the relevant regulatory authority. In order to provide the sufficient number of observations required for a statistically significant analysis of the data, the FDA has determined that 400 data collections are required in each of the three types of facilities. Therefore, the total number of responses is 2,400 (400 data collections x 3 types of institutions x 2 respondents per data collection).

    The effort involved in completing Sections 1 and 3 of the form is specific to those responsible for selected institutions. The load includes the time it takes the worker to accompany the data collector during the on-site visit and to answer the data collector's questions. The burden associated with completing Section 2 of the form rests with the program directors (or nominees) of the relevant regulatory authorities. This fee includes the time it takes to answer questions from data collectors and is the same regardless of the installation type.

    To calculate estimated hours per response, FDA uses the average duration of data collection for similar facility types during the 2008 FDA Risk Factor Study (Ref. 3) plus an additional 30 minutes (0.5 hours) for information related to Section 3, Part B of the mold. The FDA estimates that those responsible for the types of healthcare facilities, schools, and retail stores will need 150 minutes (2.5 hours), 120 minutes (2 hours), and 180 minutes (3 hours), respectively, to follow the data collectors as they fill it out sections 1 and 3 of the form. The FDA estimates that it will take the program director (or designated person) of the applicable regulatory agency 30 minutes (0.5 hour) to answer the questions on Section 2 of the form. This exposure estimate remains unchanged since the last data collection. Therefore, the estimated total burden for data collection in healthcare settings is 180 minutes (150 + 30) (3 hours), in schools 150 minutes (120 + 30) (2.5 hours) and in grocery retail 210 minutes (180 +30) (3, 5 hours).

    Based on the number of refusals to participate in the baseline data collection from 2015 to 2016, we estimate a 2% refusal rate for data collections in the health facility, school, and grocery store types. Estimated time per non-responder is 5 minutes (0.08 hours) for the appropriate person to listenfor the purpose of the visit and issue a verbal refusal of entry.

    The FDA estimates the effort involved in gathering this information as follows:

    "The development, production and marketing of chimeric antigen receptor (car) -based immunotherapy, which is directed to anti -CD19 using alogenic tinfozites that are different from Crispr/Cas9 (where donors and recipients), whereby the car at least: at least:

    (1) The sequences of the complementary destination region (CDR) of the anti-CD19 antibody, known as HU19;

    (2) a CD8a hinge and transmembrane domain*;

    (3) and a CD28z* T cell signaling domain;

    for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

    This technology reveals the development of chimeric antigen receptors that recognize the cell surface protein CD19. CD19 is expressed on the cell surface of several autoimmune disease cells including lupus nephritis. Many autoimmune diseases have no FDA-approved therapies, underscoring an unmet need. The development of a therapeutic for autoimmune diseases that targets CD19 will benefit public health by providing treatment to patients who may not have options.

    Further information:

    Compliant with 44 U.S.C. 3507, the FDA submitted the following proposal to the OMB to collect information for review and approval.

    Accelerated Programs for Serious Diseases - Drugs and Biologics OMB Control Number 0910-0765 – Extension

    This collection of information supports the Agency's regulations and related guidance regarding accelerated programs for serious illnesses. The purpose of our regulations in 21 CFR Part 312 Subpart E is to establish procedures to expedite the development, evaluation, and commercialization of new therapies to treat people with life-threatening and seriously debilitating diseases, particularly when satisfactory alternative therapies do not exist. . . While regulatory safety and efficacy standards apply to all medicines, the many types of medicines they are subject to and the wide range of uses of these medicines require flexibility in applying the standards.

    We have developed an industry guide entitled Accelerated Programs for Serious Conditions - Drugs and Biologics as a central source of information on FDA policies and procedures related to the followingAccelerated Major Disease Programs: (1) Fast Track status, (2) Breakthrough Therapy status, (3) Accelerated Approval, and (4) Priority Review status. The guidelines outline threshold criteria that apply generally to accelerated programs, including what constitutes serious illness, unmet medical need, and available therapy. The guidance addresses the applicability of accelerated programs for rare diseases, clarification of available therapies and additional details on possible manufacturing flexibility and product quality. It also clarifies the eligibility criteria for designating breakthrough therapies and provides examples of surrogate endpoints and intermediate clinical endpoints used to support accelerated approval.

    A sponsor or applicant seeking Fast Track status must submit an application to us demonstrating that the drug: (1) is intended for a serious or life-threatening condition, and (2) has the potential to cause an uncovered to meet medical needs. We anticipate that most information in support of a designation application will be available in accordance with the existing requirements for preparing a New Drug Application (IND), New Drug Application (NDA) or Biological Marketing Authorization Application (BLA ) were collected. If this information has already been submitted to us, the information may be summarized in the Quick Order request. A request for designation may need to include additional information not otherwise required by law or regulation. For example, additional information may be required to show that a product has the potential to address an unmet medical need when there is an approved therapy for the serious or life-threatening condition being treated. This information may include clinical data, published reports, summaries of data and reports, and a list of references. The amount of information and discussion in a nomination request need not be extensive, but should be sufficient for a reviewer to assess whether the criteria for an expedited nomination have been met.

    After we make a Fast Track designation, a sponsor or candidate may send a pre-meeting packet that may include additional information to support an application to participate in certain Fast Track programs. The pre-meeting pack provides background information for the meeting and is intended to support the intended goals of the meeting. As with the expedited application for designation, we believe most sponsors or applicants have collected this information to meet existing requirements for preparing an IND, an NDA, or a BLA. These may include descriptions of clinical safety and efficacy studies that were not conducted as part of an IND (for example.,Foreign studies) and information to support an accelerated approval request.

    We have also developed the orientation document entitled "Accelerated programs for regenerative medicine therapies for serious conditions". Guide offer sponsors that in the development of regenerative medicine therapies for serious or life -threatening diseases, FDA recommendations for accelerated development and review of these therapiesThe orientation describes accelerated programs that are available for sponsors of regenerative medicine for serious or life -threatening diseases or conditions, including products that referred to as advanced regenerative therapies (the FDA is called "advanced regenerative medical therapy". The clinical development of therapiesThe regenerative medicine and opportunities for sponsors of regenerative medicine therapies interact with the review team of the biological evaluation and research center.

    You can find orientation documents on our website inhttps://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documentsAnd were published in 21 CFR 10.115 in accordance with our guidelines for proven procedures, which provide public comment at any time.

    noFederal registrationEffective November 18, 2020 (85 FR 73487), we have issued a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed intelligence gathering. No comments were received.

    We estimate the effort involved in collecting this information as follows:

  • Respondent's responses
  • Total number of annual responses Average

    Based on a review of the information collection since our last OMB approval request, we have increased our load estimates by 389 answers and 35,325 hours. As is reflected in Table 1, we estimate that 70 respondents send 101 priority review requests every year. We have an average of 30 hoursTime to prepare such a request.

    We estimate that 119 respondents will submit 156 innovative appointments annually and assume that an average of 70 hours will be needed to prepare such an application.

    We estimate that 205 respondents submit 261 quick allocation requests annually and estimate that an average of 60 hours is required to prepare one such request.

    Of the quick match requests made each year, we responded to approximately 224 requests from 392 respondents, and a pre-meeting packet was sent for each of those requests that were granted. Therefore, we assume an average load of 100 hours per respondent to prepare a preparation package.

    Finally, we estimate that 33 respondents will submit 38 RMAT assignment requests and assume that it takes an average of 60 hours to complete one such request.

Section 201(d)(2)(B) of the CSA (21 U.S.C. 811(d)(2)(B)) provides that if the United States is notified under Article 2 of the 1971 Convention, the CND proposes to When deciding whether to add a drug or other substance to any of the 1971 Convention lists, to transfer a drug or substance from one list to another, or to remove it from the lists, the Secretary of State must provide this information to the Secretary of Health and Human Services (Secretariat of HHS). The secretary of HHS then publishes a summary of this information in theFederal registrationand offer interested persons the opportunity to submit comments. The Secretary of HHS must then evaluate the proposal and make a recommendation to the Secretary of State, which will bind the US representative in discussions and negotiations regarding the proposal.

    As detailed in the following paragraphs, the Secretary of State has received notification from the Secretary-General of the United Nations (the Secretary-General) of seven substances to be considered for control under the 1971 Convention. This notification reflects the recommendation of the WHO's 43rd Expert Committee on Drug Dependence (ECDD), which met in October 2020.Federal registrationOn August 4, 2020 (85 FR 47217), the FDA announced the revision of the WHO ECDD and invited interested individuals to submit information for WHO review.

    The full text of the Secretary-General's communication is contained in Section II. Section 201(d)(2)(B) of the CSA requires that the Secretary of HHS, upon receipt of a notice proposing an appointment, issue a notice in theFederal registrationGive interested parties the opportunity to send information and comments on the proposed planning action.

    The United States is also part of the Single Narcotic Convention of 1961 (1961 Convention). The Secretary of State received notice from the Secretary-General of a substance that should be considered for control under that convention. CSA does not require HHS to provide a summary of this information in the publishFederal registration🇧🇷Mum interested people to offer and influence the opportunity to send comments on the recommendations of the recommendations of medication as part of the 1961 convention, the notification of these substances is also includedFederal registrationnotice.The comments are shared with other responsible authorities in order to support the foreign minister in the formulation of the US position to control these substances.The HHS recommendations are not binding for the representative of the United States in discussions and negotiations on the proposed material control as part of the 1961 Convention.

    12 January 2012 Anhang I Letter from the Director-General of the World Health Organization to the Secretary-General of the United Nations dated 30 November 2020

    “The forty-third session of the WHO Expert Committee on Drug Dependence was convened in virtual form from 12 to 16 October 2020 and was coordinated from WHO headquarters in Geneva. The purpose of this meeting was to conduct an in-depth assessment of psychoactive substance abuse capacity and dependence in order to make recommendations for appropriate international classification measures.

    At the forty-third session of the WHO ECDD, eleven psychoactive substances were critically reviewed, including a synthetic opioid, a hallucinogen, a synthetic stimulant, two synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists, three dissociative drugs and three benzodiazepines. These substances have not been officially reviewed by the WHO and are not currently under international control. The WHO has been made aware that these substances are clandestinely manufactured, pose a particularly serious risk to public health and society, and have therapeutic uses not recognized by either party. Therefore, a critical review was performed for each substance to take into account international classification measures.

    Referring to Article 3, paragraphs 1 and 3, of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs (1961), as amended by the 1972 Protocol, and to Article 2, paragraphs 1 and 4, of the Psychotropic Substances Convention (1971), WHO is pleased to place the recommendations of the 42nd ECDD meeting as follows:

    Add to Appendix I of the individual Convention on Narcotic Drugs (1961):

    - Isotitier Chemical name:N,N-Diethyl-2-(2-(4-isopropoxybenzyl)-5-nitro-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)ethan-1-amin

    Add to Appendix I of the individual Convention on Narcotic Drugs (1961):

    isotonitazeno Substance identification

    Isotonitazene (Chemical name:N,N-diethyl-2-(2-(4-isopropoxybenzyl)-5-nitro-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)ethan-1-amine) belongs to the group of 2-benzylbenzimidazole compounds, which includes the related ones Opioids etonitazen, methonitazen and clonitazen. It comes in yellow, brown, or off-white powder form.

    Revision history of the WHO

    Isotonitazene has never been officially reviewed by the WHO and is not currently under international scrutiny. The WHO has been made aware that this substance is clandestinely manufactured, poses a public health risk and has no recognized therapeutic use.

    Similarity to known substances and effects on the central nervous system

    Isotonitazen is a chemical analogue of etonitazen and clonitazen, both Schedule I compounds under the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961. Isotonitazen is a potent opioid analgesic with a rapid onset of action. Preclinical studies have shown that isotonitazene is more effective than fentanyl and hydromorphone and significantly more effective than morphine. There is limited research on the effects of this compound on the central nervous system, but given its demonstrated activity at the µ-opioid receptor it can be expected to induce analgesia, respiratory depression and sedation.

    Addiction potential

    No controlled animal or human studies have evaluated the addictive potential of isotoitazene. As a potent µ-opioid agonist, it would be expected to induce dependence. An unconfirmed online report described addictive use and withdrawal symptoms, including flu-like symptoms and anxiety.

    Actual abuse and/or evidence of likelihood of abuse

    There are no controlled studies on the abuse potential of isotoitazen, but as a potent μ-opioid receptor agonist, it can be expected to induce euphoria and other effects indicative of a high risk of abuse.

    Because of its relatively recent appearance on the illicit drug market, there is limited information on the prevalence of isotoitazene use or the harms associated with it. Seizures have been reported from several countries and regions. It is observed that it can be used in a variety of ways including sublingual, vaporize and intravenously.

    The number of deaths with isotonites has increased in a short time. Deadnesses usually occur in combination with other opioids or benzodiazepines on. ISOTONITURES Share common characteristics in Heroin death, including evidence of injections and signs in harmony with opioid overdose such as lung edema and/or/orBrain. The deaths are likely to become subdued due to their latest and quick appearance.

    recommendation

    Isotoni vati (chemical designation: n, n-diethyl-2- (2- (4-isopropoxybenzyl) -5-Nitro-1h-Benzo [d] imidazole-1-ol) ethan-1-amin) has an active mechanismIt is susceptible to similar abuse and causes harmful effects that are similar to those of other opioids that are controlled by Appendix I of the 1961 unit agreement.Its application was reported in several countries and associated with side effects, including deaths.It has no known therapeutic benefit and probably causes considerable damage.

    Therapeutic use

    Isotonitazen is not known to have any therapeutic use.

    To add to Schedule II of the Psychotropic Substances Convention (1971):

    CUMIL-PEGACLONE Substance identification

    Similarity to known substances and effects on the central nervous system

    CUMYL-PEGACLONE is a synthetic cannabinoid with a mechanism of action similar to other synthetic cannabinoids. It is a potent full agonist at CB1 receptors.

    There are no controlled studies of its effects, but there are user reports online describing euphoria, dissociation, red eyes, dry mouth, and appetite stimulation. These effects are consistent with known effects of cannabinoid agonists.

    Addiction potential

    There are no controlled animal or human studies addressing the addictive potential of CUMYL-PEGACLONE. However, CUMYL-PEGACLONE has been shown to be a full and potent agonist at the CB1 receptor and is therefore expected to produce a dependency consistent with other CB1 receptor agonists.

    Actual abuse and/or evidence of likelihood of abuse

    There are no controlled animal or human studies addressing the abuse potential of CUMYL-PEGACLONE.

    Several countries in several regions have reported that CUMYL-PEGACLONE is used for its psychoactive properties.

    There have been reports of side effects such as seizures and death associated with CUMYL-PEGACLONE. Although other drugs were present, CUMYL-PEGACLONE was considered a causal or contributory factor in several of these deaths.

    Therapeutic use

    CUMYL-PEGACLONE is not known to have any therapeutic use.

    recommendation

    CUMIL-PEGACLONE (Chemical name: 5-pentyl-2-(2-phenylpropan-2-yl)-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indol-1-one) is a synthetic cannabinoid Receptor agonist with a mode of action suggesting a likelihood of dependence and abuse and similar adverse effects to other synthetic cannabinoids. Its use has been linked to serious side effects and deaths. The effects of CUMYL-PEGACLONE are similar to those of other synthetic cannabinoids controlled by Schedule II of theConvention on psychotropic substances from 1971. Cumyl-Pegaklone has no therapeutic use and their use is a significant risk of public health.

    • The committee recommended that cumyl-pegaclone (chemical name: 5-pentyl-2- (2-phenylpropan-2-yl) -2.5-dihydro-1h-pyrido [4,3-b] Indol-1-on), in Appendix II of the Convention on Psychotropic substances, 1971.

    Revision history of the WHO

    MDMB-4en-PINACA has never been officially reviewed by WHO and is not currently under international scrutiny. The WHO has been made aware that this substance is clandestinely manufactured, poses a public health risk and has no recognized therapeutic use.

    Similarity to known substances and effects on the central nervous system

    MDMB-4en-PINACA is a synthetic cannabinoid that binds to CB1 cannabinoid receptors as a full and potent agonist. It is structurally similar to 5F-MDMB-PINACA (5F-ADB), which is regulated by Schedule II of the 1971 Psychotropic Substances Convention CB1 cannabinoids such as hypothermia and lethargy. Reports from online user forums describe cannabis-like euphoria at moderate intake, with dissociation described at higher doses. In addition to memory loss, confusion and agitation, both sedation and stimulation have been reported.

    Addiction potential

    No animal or human studies describing the addictive potential of MDMB-4en-PINACA have been identified. As a full CB1 agonist, it can be expected to produce a similar dependence as other CB1 receptor agonists.

    Actual abuse and/or evidence of likelihood of abuse

    No animal or human studies have been conducted to provide an indication of the likelihood of abuse of MDMB-4en-PINACA, although CB1 receptor agonists have known abuse potential. Several countries in different regions have reported the use of MDMB-4en-PINACA. Its use has been linked to cases of disability and death.

    Therapeutic use

    3-Methoxyphencyclidine (3-MeO-PCP), (Chemical name: 1-[1-(3-Methoxyphenyl)cyclohexyl]piperidine) is an arylcyclohexylamine and 3-methoxy derivative of phencyclidine (PCP) covered by Schedule II of the Convention on Psychotropic Substances 1971. It is available in powder and tablet form.

    Revision history of the WHO

    3-Methoxyphencyclidine has never been officially reviewed by the WHO and is not currently under international scrutiny. The WHO has been made aware that this substance is clandestinely manufactured, poses a public health risk and has no recognized therapeutic use.

    Similarity to known substances and effects on the central nervous system

    3-methoxyphencyclidine is an N-methyl-D aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist with an impact mechanism and similar effects as phencyclidine.These effects include a changed state of mind that is characterized by confusion, disorientation and non -body experiences, as well as hallucinations and other psychotic symptoms.

    Addiction potential

    The addictive potential of 3-methoxyphencyclidine has not been evaluated in any human or animal study.

    Actual abuse and/or evidence of likelihood of abuse

    As an NMDA receptor antagonist, 3-methoxyphencyclidine is expected to produce similar effects and have a similar potential for abuse as phencyclidine.

    Side effects include cardiovascular effects (such as hypertension and tachycardia) and cognitive effects including psychosis, confusion and agitation. There may be an increased risk of psychosis in individuals with a history of or susceptibility to psychotic illness. Cases of serious and fatal poisoning are reported from several countries and regions.

    The seizures were reported in different countries in different regions.

    Therapeutic use

    There is no known therapeutic benefit from 3-methoxyphencyclidine.

    recommendation

    3-Methoxyphencyclidine (Chemical name: 1-[1-(3-Methoxyphenyl)cyclohexyl]piperidine) is an analogue and has effects similar to phencyclidine (PCP), which is regulated by Schedule II of the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances. Its mode of action suggests a likelihood of abuse. There is evidence of the use of this substance in several countries in different regions. 3-Methoxyphencyclidine causes significant harm, including serious adverse events such as hallucinations, other psychotic symptoms, and fatal poisoning. It has no therapeutic use.

    • The Committee recommended that 3-methoxyphencyclidine (chemical name: 1-[1-(3-methoxyphenyl)cyclohexyl]piperidine) be included in Schedule II of the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances.

    Diphenidin Substance identification

    Diphenidine (chemical name: 1-(1,2-diphenylethyl)piperidine) is a dissociative and hallucinogenic substance from the class of 1,2-diarylylethylamines. Appears as powder and pills.

    Revision history of the WHO

    Diphenidine has never been officially reviewed by the WHO and is not currently under international scrutiny. The WHO has been made aware that this substance is clandestinely manufactured, poses a public health risk and has no recognized therapeutic use.

    Similarity to known substances and effects on the central nervous system

    Diphenidine is known to induce hallucinogenic and dissociative effects through its action as an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. This mechanism of action, as well as its effects, are similar to those of phencyclidine (PCP), which is regulated by Schedule II of the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances.

    Addiction potential

    No animal or human studies have determined the addictive potential of diphenidine.

    Actual abuse and/or evidence of likelihood of abuse

    As an NMDA receptor antagonist, diphenidine is expected to have an abuse potential similar to that of phencyclidine. In addition, diphenidine causes a release of dopamine, similar but to a lesser extent than cocaine. This effect may also contribute to its potential for abuse.

    Cases of poisoning requiring hospitalization have been reported. Adverse effects include cardiovascular effects (such as tachycardia and hypertension) and central nervous system effects including hallucinations, depersonalisation, delusions, paranoia, dissociation, confusion, nystagmus and muscle stiffness. These effects led to acute cases of poisoning, which led to referrals to the emergency services. A small number of fatal poisonings with diphenidine have been documented. All deaths were due to multidrug toxicity, although the cardiovascular and hallucinogenic symptoms reported in the cases are consistent with the effects of diphenidine.

    The seizures were reported in different countries in different regions.

    Therapeutic use

    It is not known that diphenidine has a therapeutic benefit.

    recommendation

    Available evidence indicates that diphenidine (chemical name: 1-(1,2-diphenylethyl)piperidine) has a similar mechanism of action and effects to phencyclidine (PCP), which is regulated by Schedule II of the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances. Its mode of action suggests a likelihood of abuse. There is evidence of significant harm from diphenidine, including psychosis and cardiovascular effects, posing a significant risk to public health. Diphenidine has no therapeutic use.

    • The Committee recommended that diphenidine (chemical name: 1-(1,2-diphenylethyl)piperidine) be included in Schedule II of the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances.

    Substances recommended for inclusion in Schedule IV of the Psychotropic Substances Convention (1971):

    Clonazolam Substance identification

    Clonazolam (Chemical name: 6-(2-Chlorophenyl)-1-methyl-8-nitro-4H-benzo[f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepine) is 1-4 triazolobenzodiazepine similar to clonazepam, triazolam and alprazolam. It is sold in powder, blotter, liquid, and tablet forms.

    Revision history of the WHO

    Clonazolam has never been officially reviewed by the WHO and is not currently under international scrutiny. The WHO has been made aware that this substance is clandestinely manufactured, poses a public health risk and has no recognized therapeutic use.

    Similarity to known substances and effects on the central nervous system

    Clonazolam potentiates the effects of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) by binding to the benzodiazepine site of the GABA-A receptor. This mechanism of action, as well as its effects (sedation, muscle relaxation, slurred speech and loss of motor control, amnesia), are similar to those of benzodiazepines (such as diazepam, triazolam, and alprazolam) regulated by Schedule IV of the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances.

    In clonazolam intoxication, the effects were reversed with the benzodiazepine antagonist flumazenil, confirming that its action is mediated through the benzodiazepine receptor in the GABA-A receptor complex.

    Addiction potential

    No controlled animal or human studies have evaluated clonazolam's addictive potential, although its pharmacological action and similarity to other benzodiazepines suggest that it may have addictive potential.

    The development of tolerance to the effects of clonazolam after repeated use and the occurrence of withdrawal symptoms after cessation of use have been reported in online forums.

    Actual abuse and/or evidence of likelihood of abuse

    No human or animal studies have examined liability for abuse. Online forums describe its recreational use and consistently report its potent anxiolytic effects.

    Several published reports describe the treatment of cases of poisoning with clonazolam in emergency departments or in the intensive care unit. The use of clonazolam in combination with other substances has been analytically confirmed in cases of impaired driving ability. Clonazolam has the potential to increase the effects of other medications, including opioids, and can itself cause severe central nervous system depression, including drowsiness, confusion, sedation, and loss of consciousness.

    There are reports of its identification in multiple countries representing all regions, suggesting its use may be increasing. Clonazolam is increasingly being sold as counterfeit pharmaceutical benzodiazepines.

    Therapeutic use

    Clonazolam has no known therapeutic use, is not included on the WHO Model List of Essential Drugs, and has never been marketed as a drug.

    recommendation

    Clonazolam (chemical name: 6-(2-chlorophenyl)-1-methyl-8-nitro-4H-benzo[F][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-A][1,4]diazepine) is a 1 -4 triazolobenzodiazepinic very similar to the benzodiazepines listed in Schedule IV IV of the 1971 Psychopharmaceutical. Like other benzodiazepines, clonazolam can induce states of dependence and central nervous system depression. There have been a number of reports of abuse, conduction impairment, and nonfatal poisoning. There is enough evidence of abuse to constitute a public health concern , and has no therapeutic use.

    • The committee recommended clonazolam (chemical name: 6- (2-chlorphenyl) -1-methyl-8-nitro-4h-benzo [f] [1,2,4] Triazolo [4,3-A] [1, 4] Diazepin) in Appendix IV of the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic substances.

    Diclazepam substance identification

    Diclazepam (Chemical Name: 7-Chloro-5-(2-Chlorophenyl)-1-Methyl-1,3-Dihydro-2H-Benzo[e][1,4]diazepin2-one) is a 2-chloro-benzodiazepine derivative diazepam. It appears as a white powder and is commonly sold as pills, lozenges, and liquid.

    Revision history of the WHO

    Diclazepam has never been officially reviewed by the WHO and is not currently under international scrutiny. The WHO has been made aware that this substance is clandestinely manufactured, poses a public health risk and has no recognized therapeutic use.

    Similarity to known substances and effects on the central nervous system

    Diclazepam is an agonist at the benzodiazepine site of the GABA-A receptor that potentiates the effects of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Diclazepam has effects similar to the benzodiazepine diazepam, currently covered by the 1971 Psychotropic Substances Convention, and is metabolised to the benzodiazepines delorazepam, lorazepam and lormetazepam. These metabolites are active and are also drugs listed in Schedule IV of the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances.

    Diclazepam has been shown to induce sedation and muscle relaxation in animals. Central nervous system depressant effects have also been described in humans.

    Addiction potential

    No controlled animal or human studies have evaluated the addictive potential of diclazepam.

    Online user reports describe cross-tolerance with other benzodiazepines and use for self-treatment of benzodiazepine withdrawal. This evidence, along with its mechanism of action, suggests that diclazepam has similar addictive potential to other benzodiazepines.

    Actual abuse and/or evidence of likelihood of abuse

    No controlled animal or human studies have investigated the possibility of diclazepam abuse. However, based on its mechanism of action and effects, it would be expected that it could be abused in a similar way to other benzodiazepines.

    Diclazepam has the potential to increase accidental opioid overdoses. Its long half-life can increase the risk of accumulation and interactions when combined with other drugs. Fatal poisoning with diclazepam has been reported.

    Diclazepam seizures have been reported in several countries in different regions. Diclazepam is increasingly being sold as a counterfeit benzodiazepine, commonly known as diazepam.

    Diclazepam has been associated with cases of impaired driving, including cases where diclazepam has been identified as a major contributor to disability. He has also been involved in drug-assisted sexual assault cases.

    Therapeutic use

    Diclazepam is not known to have any therapeutic use, is not included on the WHO Model List of Essential Drugs and has never been marketed as a drug.

    recommendation

    Diclazepam (Chemical Name: 7-Chloro-5-(2-Chlorophenyl)-1-Methyl-1,3-Dihydro-2H-Benzo[e][1,4]diazepin2-one) is a 2-chloro-benzodiazepine Analogue diazepam which has actions and effects very similar to those of the benzodiazepines listed in Schedule IV of the Psychotropic Substances Convention, 1971. It, like others, can provoke a state of dependence and depression of the central nervous systembenzodiazepines. There have been reports of abuse, being unable to drive, and fatal and non-fatal poisoning. There is sufficient evidence of its misuse to pose a significant public health risk and no known therapeutic benefit.

    • The Committee recommended adding Diclazepam (Chemical name: 7-chloro-5-(2-chlorophenyl)-1-methyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzo[e][1,4]diazepin2-one) to Annex IV the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances.

    Flubromazolam Substance identification

    Flubromazolam (Chemical name: 8-bromo-6-(2-fluorophenyl)-1-methyl-4H-benzo[f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepine) is a 1-4 triazolobenzodiazepine. Flubromazolam is a white powder that is often sold in liquid or tablet form.

    Revision history of the WHO

    Flubromazolam has never been formally reviewed by the WHO and is not currently under international scrutiny. The WHO has been informed that this substance is clandestinely manufactured, poses a risk to public health and has no recognized therapeutic use.

    Similarity to known substances and effects on the central nervous system

    Flubromazolam is a highly potent benzodiazepine with long-lasting central nervous system depressant effects. Flubromazolam potentiates the effects of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) by binding to the benzodiazepine site of the GABA-A receptor. This mechanism of action and its effects are similar to those of the benzodiazepines triazolam and alprazolam, which fall under Schedule IV of the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances.

    A single pharmacokinetic study showed that a 0.5 mg dose of flubromazolam induced strong sedative effects lasting more than 10 hours and causing partial amnesia lasting more than 24 hours. The effects of flubromazolam were effectively reversed by the benzodiazepine antagonist flumazenil.

    Reports from online user forums describe benzodiazepine-like effects, including anxiolytic, euphoric, and sedative effects.

    Addiction potential

    No controlled animal or human studies describe flubromazolam's addictive potential, although several reports from online sources describe severe withdrawal symptoms such as muscle pain, trouble sleeping, intense anxiety and panic attacks, dissociative symptoms, cognitive disorders, convulsions, chills, vomiting, and risk of seizures. There are also descriptions of loss of control over use and rapid onset of tolerance. The latter suggests that taking larger doses and developing physical dependence are likely.

    Actual abuse and/or evidence of likelihood of abuse

    No controlled animal or human studies have evaluated the abuse potential of flubromazolam. Impaired ability to drive has been reported with flubromazolam as the sole intoxicant. Non-fatal poisoning requiring hospitalization and fatal poisoning due to flubromazolam use are documented. In these cases, central nervous system depression and severe sedation were clinical features. Flubromazolam has the potential to increase accidental opioid overdoses. Its long half-life can increase the risk of accumulation and interactions when combined with other drugs.

    Non-medical use and seizures of flubromazolam have been documented in several countries in different regions. It is increasingly being sold as a counterfeit pharmaceutical benzodiazepine.

    Therapeutic use

    Flubromazolam is not known to have any therapeutic use, is not included on the WHO Model List of Essential Drugs, and has never been marketed as a drug.

    recommendation

    Flubromazolam (Chemical name: 8-bromo-6-(2-fluorophenyl)-1-methyl-4H-benzo[f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepine) is a 1-4-triazolobenzodiazepine which has actions and effects very similar to those of the benzodiazepines listed in Schedule IV of the Psychotropic Substances Convention, 1971. Like other benzodiazepines, it can produce a state of dependence and central nervous system depression. There are increasing reports of abuse, unfitness to drive, and fatal and non-fatal poisoning. There is sufficient evidence of its misuse to pose a significant public health risk and no known therapeutic benefit.

    The Committee recommended that Flubromazolam (Chemical name: 8-bromo-6-(2-fluorophenyl)-1-methyl-4H-benzo[f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1, 4 ]diazepine) to Schedule IV of the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances.

    III. Discussion

    Although the WHO has issued specific planning recommendations for each of the drugs, the CND is not obliged to follow the WHO recommendations. The options available to the CND for substances considered for control under the 1971 Convention include the following: (1) accept WHO recommendations; (2) accept the control recommendations but control the drug in a regimen different from that recommended; or (3) reject the Recommendations outright.

    Isotonitazene (chemical name:N,N-Dietil-2-(2-(4-isopropoxibenzil)-5-nitro-1H-Benzimidazole-1-yl) Ethan-1-amin) is a strong synthetic opioid that is misused like other synthetic opioids.Its use has led to harmful effects, including positive identification in 49 deaths in the United States between August 2019 and April 2020. Data from the law enforcement agencies indicate that isotoitanes have appeared on the illegal drug market of the United States.

    According to the National Forensic Laboratory Information System (NFLIS) database, there have been 53 isotonitazene encounters in the United States as of June 2020. There are no commercial or approved medicinal uses for Isotonitazene. On August 20, 2020, the Drug Enforcement Administration issued an order temporarily controlling isotoitazen as a Schedule I substance under the CSA. Therefore, additional ongoing controls are required to meet US obligations if isotonitazene is included in Schedule I of the 1961 Convention.

    CUMYL-PEGACLONE is a synthetic cannabinoid sold online and used to mimic the biological effects of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive compound in marijuana. Research and clinical reports have shown that synthetic cannabinoids are applied to plant material to allow the material to be smoked while users attempt to get a euphoric, psychoactive high. Synthetic cannabinoids have been marketed under the guise of "herbal incense" and promoted by drug dealers as legal alternatives to marijuana. In vitro studies show that CUMYL-PEGALCONE binds to and activates the cannabinoid receptor. CUMYL-PEGALCONE is not found in the United States according to the NFLIS database as of January 14, 2021. There is no commercial or approved medicinal use for CUMYL-PEGALCONE and it is not a CSA controlled substance. Therefore, additional ongoing controls are required to meet US obligations when CUMYL-PEGALCONE is controlled under Schedule II of the 1971 Convention.

    MDMB-4en-PINACA is a synthetic cannabinoid sold online and used to mimic the biological effects of THC, the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. Research and clinical reports have shown that synthetic cannabinoids are applied to plant material to allow the material to be smoked while users attempt to get a euphoric, psychoactive high. Synthetic cannabinoids have been marketed under the guise of "herbal incense" and promoted by drug dealers as legal alternatives to marijuana. According to the NFLIS database, MDMB-4en-PINACA was first found in the United States in January 2019. There have been 3,331 MDMB-4en-PINACA encounters in the United States as of January 14, 2021. MDMB-4en-PINACA has also been found mixed with opioids, including heroin and fentanyl, with some incidents leading to violence.behavior, tachycardia and hypertension. There are no commercial or approved medicinal uses for MDMB-4en-PINACA and it is not a CSA controlled substance. Therefore, additional ongoing controls are required to meet US obligations when controlling MDMB-4en-PINACA under Annex II of the 1971 Convention.

    3-methoxyphencyclidine; Chemical Name: 1-(1-(3-Methoxyphenyl)cyclohexyl)piperidine) is a novel N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist with structural and biochemical similarities to phencyclidine (PCP) and other arylcyclohexylamines. 3-Methoxyphencyclidine is classified as an arylcyclohexylamine and produces dissociative anesthetic and hallucinogenic effects. Use of this substance has been linked to poisoning and published case reports of fatal and non-fatal overdoses. 3-Methoxyphencyclidine is found by police in drug crime reports. 3-Methoxyphencyclidine is an analogue of the hallucinogen Program II PCP. There is no approved medicinal use for 3-methoxyphencyclidine in the United States and it is not a CSA controlled substance. When 3-methoxyphencyclidine is intended for human consumption, it may be used under 21 U.S.C. 802(32)(A) and 813. Therefore, additional ongoing controls are required to meet US obligations when controlling 3-methoxyphencyclidine under Annex II of the 1971 Convention.

    Diphenidine (chemical name: 1-(1,2-diphenylethyl)piperidine) is a non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist classified as diarylylethylamine and has dissociative anesthetic and hallucinogenic effects. It was originally synthesized in the 1920s, but reports of abuse began in the last decade. Use of this substance has been associated with poisoning and with published case reports of fatal and nonfatal overdoses outside the United States. Diphenidine is found by police in drug crime reports. Diphenidine is not approved for medical use in the United States and is not a CSA controlled substance. Therefore, additional ongoing controls are required to meet US obligations when controlling diphenidine under Schedule II of the 1971 Convention.

    Flubromazolam, clonazolam, and diclazepam belong to a class of drugs known as benzodiazepines. Benzodiazepines produce central nervous system depression and are commonly used to treat insomnia, anxiety, and seizures. Flubromazolam is a triazole analogue of the designer benzodiazepine flubromazepam. Flubromazolam can be purchased online and is used recreationally in the United States. Flubromazolam has been identified in an increasing number of arrests by police and has been linked to an increasing number of drug overdose deaths. According to the NFLIS database, there were 1,446 encounters with clonazolam in 2020 (as of December 2020). It is abused by a wide variety of groups, including adolescents, young adults, and older adults. Clonazolam alone and in combination with alcohol has been implicated in an increasing number of drug seizures and drug overdose deaths. The NFLIS database reported 249 encounters in 2020 (as of December 2020). Diclazepam is a designer benzodiazepine sold online and is most commonly found as a liquid solution, but can also be sold as a powder, tablet, blotting paper, or pellet. In 2020, the NFLIS database reported 113 encounters with diclazepam (as of December 2020). In 2018, flubromazolam, clonazolam, and dicalazepam were all identified by law enforcement agencies in drug-driving cases in the United States. Flubromazolam, clonazolam, and diclazepam are not approved for medical use in the United States and are not CSA controlled substances. Therefore, additional ongoing controls are required to meet US obligations when controlling flubromazolam, clonazolam and dicalazepam under Schedule IV of the 1971 Convention.

    The FDA, on behalf of the Secretary of HHS, invites interested parties to comment on United Nations notifications related to these drugs. The FDA, in collaboration with the National Institute on Drug Abuse, will consider comments on behalf of the HHS when evaluating WHO planning recommendations. Then, pursuant to Section 201(d)(2)(B) of the CSA, HHS will recommend to the Secretary of State what position the United States should take in voting on the substance control recommendations under the 1971 Convention at the US Committee on CND in April 2021.

    Comments on the WHO recommendations for the control of isotoitazene under the 1961 Single Convention are also being forwarded to the relevant authorities for consideration in the development of the US position on narcotics at the CND meeting.

    Title VIII of the Food and Drug Administration Amendment Act of 2007 (FDAAA) (Pub. L. 110-85) amended the PHS Act by adding Section 402(j). The regulations expanded the scope of clinical trials subject to submission of information and required that additional information be submitted to the clinical trials database (https://clinicaltrials.gov/) (The FDA has verified the website address, but the FDA is not responsible for subsequent changes to the website after this document was publishedFederal registration) previously established by the National Institutes of Health (NIH)/National Library of Medicine. This includes extended information on applicable clinical trials and summary information on the results of specific clinical trials. The provisions include responsibilities to the FDA and various amendments to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act).

    One provision, Section 402(j)(5)(B) of the PHS Act, requires shipments of human drug, biologic and device products manufactured to the FDA to be accompanied by certification. Specifically, at the time of filing a request under Section 505, 515, or 520(m) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 355, 360e, or 360j(m)) or Section 351 of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 262 ) or filing a report under Section 510(k) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360(k)), such request or submission must be accompanied by certification, FDA Form 3674, that all applicable requirements of Section 402(j) of the PHS Act have been met . When available, such certification must include the appropriate National Clinical Trial (NCT) numbers, which will be assigned after submission of the required information to the NIH database athttps://clinicaltrials.gov/.

    The proposed scope of information collection is necessary to comply with the legal requirement above. The importance of obtaining this data relates to meeting regulatory requirements for submissions to the Clinical Trials Registry and Results Database and ensuring that individuals and organizations submitting inquiries or reports to the FDA comply with the listed provisions of the FD&C Act or the PHS Act that meet appropriate legal and regulatory requirements to certify compliance with those requirements. Failure to provide the certification required by Section 402(j)(5)(B) of the PHS Act and knowingly submitting a false certification are prohibited under Section 301 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 331). Violations will be punished with civil penalties. FDA Form 3674 provides a convenient mechanism for sponsors/applicants/submitters to meet regulatory certification requirements.

    To help sponsors/applicants/submitters understand the regulatory requirements associated with FDA Form 3674, we have provided guidance available at:https://www.fda.gov/RegulatoryInformation/Guidances/ucm125335.htm🇧🇷 This guidance recommends that FDA-reviewed applications and submissions include the certification form, FDA Form 3674. The applications and submissions identified in the guideline are reflected in the stress analysis. The FDA last updated these guidelines in 2017.

    investigational applications of new drugs. The FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) received 1,661 new investigational drug applications (INDs) and 11,328 IND amendments to clinical protocols in calendar year (CY) 2019. of clinical protocols and IND will remain at or near these levels for the foreseeable future.

    The FDA Center for Biological Evaluation and Research (CBER) received 639 new INDs and 581 IND clinical protocol changes in fiscal year 2019. a near future. The estimated total number of submissions (new INDs and newProtocol submissions) subject to mandatory certification requirements under Section 402(j)(5)(B) of the PHS Act is 12,989 for CDER plus 1,220 for CBER or 14,209 submissions per year. Minutes per Response is the estimated number of minutes a respondent would spend preparing information to be submitted to the FDA under Section 402(j)(5)(B) of the PHS Act, including the time required to enter the required information in the form .

    Based on its experience with current filings, the FDA estimates that it would take an average of about 15 minutes per response for certifications accompanying IND applications and clinical protocol change submissions. It is expected that most research request submissions relate to only a few protocols for which the sponsor/applicant/submitter has received an NCT number fromhttps://clinicaltrials.gov/prior to submission to the FDA. It is also assumed that the sponsor/applicant/submitter has electronic resources that allow them to retrieve the information needed to efficiently complete the form.

    Applications/submissions for marketing. In fiscal year 2019, CDER and CBER received 252 New Drug Submissions (NDA)/Biologics Marketing Authorization Applications (BLA)/Pre-Marketing Authorizations (PMA)/Resubmissions and 701 NDA/BLA Amendments requiring certifications. CDER and CBER received 295 efficacy supplements/resubmissions for previously approved NDAs/BLAs in fiscal year 2019. CDER and CBER received 893 Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) in fiscal year 2019. CDER received 765 bioequivalence amendments/amendments in fiscal year 2019. CDER and CBER expect new drug/biologic applications/resubmissions and submission rates for dietary supplement efficacy to remain at or near these levels for the foreseeable future.

    The FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) received a total of 324 new PMA applications, 510(k) clinical information submissions, PMA supplements, Humane Device Exemption (HDE) applications, and amendment applications in fiscal 2019. CDRH expects that order, amendment, supplement, and annual reporting fees will remain at or near these levels for the foreseeable future.

    Based on their experience reviewing NDAs, BLAs, PMAs, HDEs, 510(k)s and ANDAs and experience with recent FDA Form 3674 submissions, the FDA estimates that it takes an average of about 45 minutes per response for companion certifications would. the NDA, BLA, PMA, HDE, 510(k) and ANDA marketing filings and applications. It is assumed that the sponsor/applicant/submitter has electronic resources that allow them to retrieve the information needed to efficiently complete the form.

The mandate to account for data disclosures under the Data Protection Act is found in Section 552a(c) (Accounting for Certain Disclosures). This section establishes that certain information about the disclosures made by each agency must be retained. This information is: date, type, purpose and name/address of recipient. Section 552a(e) ​​​​​​defines general regulatory requirements that any authority must meet in order to keep records under data protection law. The Data Use Agreement (DUA) form is required as part of the review of every CMS data request to ensure compliance with data protection law requirements for disclosures involving PII.

    The DUA legally binds the user to the terms of the agreement. User must agree to and sign all terms before sharing or accessing files containing protected health information and unique identifiers. The DMP SAQ is an evidence-based technical questionnaire that DUA users must complete as part of the data request package. The DMP SAQ allows the CMS to assess the researcher's data systems to ensure that the CMS data is adequately protected and protected in accordance with the Data Protection Act and the HIPAA Privacy Rule. The DMP SAQ also enables CMS to measure compliance through the implementation of security and privacy controls, as detailed in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Special Publication 800-53 information Security and described Acceptable Risk Safeguards (ARS). The second component of the DMP SAQ is continuous monitoring. All organizations undergo routine audits of the environments used to store and process CMS data, as outlined in their organization-level DMP-SAQ.Form number:CMS-10733 (OMB Control Number: 0938-Neu);Frequency:Yearly;Affected public:Private sector, state, local or tribal government, federal government, corporations or other for-profit, not-for-profit entities;Number of respondents:1.000;Annual Total Responses:1.000;Total annual hours:1,500 (If you have any questions regarding policies regarding this collection, please contact James Krometis at 410-786-0340.)

    Further information:

    According to the PRA (44 U.S.C. 1320.3 (c) and includes agency inquiries or requirements that public members send reports, manage records or deliver to third parties to third parties. 3506 (2) c) (2)) demands that the federal authorities60 days offer announcement in theFederal registrationWith regard to every collection of information proposals, including any proposed expansion of an existing information collection, before sending the collection to the OMB for approval.In order to meet this requirement, the FDA publishes a message from the proposed information collection specified in this document.

    With respect to the following information collection, FDA requests comments on: (1) when the proposed information collection is necessary for the proper performance of FDA functions, including when the information is practical; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the proposed information collection, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to improve the quality, usefulness, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of collecting information about respondents including the use of automated collection techniques, where appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

    Industry and FDA Officials' Guide - Class II Special Controls Guide: Automated Blood Cell Separator Device Operating on Centrifugal or Filter Separation Principle OMB Control Number 0910-0594 – Extension

    This collection of information supports the agency's regulations. Under the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-629), the FDA may establish specific controls, including performance standards, post-marketing surveillance, patient records, policies, and other appropriate actions it deems necessary to provide reasonable assurance of the Safety and effectiveness of the device. The special control instructions serve as a special control for the automatic blood cell separator, which uses the centrifugation or filtration principle and is intended for routine collection of blood and blood components (§ 864.9245 (21 CFR 864.9245)). The guidance, entitled Guidance for Industry and FDA Officials—Guidance Document for Class II Special Controls: Automated Blood Cell Separator Device Operating on Centrifugal or Filter Separation Principle, is available athttps://www.fda.gov/media/124263/download.

    For currently marketed devices that fail the premarket approval process, the manufacturer must provide the FDA with an annual report for 3 consecutive years on the anniversary of the device's reclassification from Class III to Class II or on the anniversary of the Federal Food Agency's 510(k), Drug,and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360(k)). Any subsequent device changes that require prior notification under Section 510(k) of the FD&C Rules must be included in the annual report. In addition, a manufacturer of a device that is considered substantially equivalent to an automated centrifugation- or filtration-based cell separator device intended for routine collection of blood and blood components must adhere to the same general and specific controls.

    The annual report must include at least a summary of expected and unanticipated adverse events that have occurred and are not required to be reported by manufacturers under Medical Device Reporting (MDR) (Part 803 (21 CFR Part 803)). Reporting device adverse events, summarized in an annual report, alerts the FDA to trends or clusters of events that may pose a safety issue that would otherwise not be reported under the MDR regulation. The report must also include any subsequent changes to the Class III Prior Amendment determination that require 30 days notice under 21 CFR 814.39(f).

    The reclassification of this device from Class III to Class II relieves manufacturers of the burden of meeting premarket approval requirements under Section 515 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360e) and may allow smaller potential competitors to enter the market by reducing the burden is reduced . Although the Special Control Guidance recommends that manufacturers of these devices submit an annual report to the FDA for 3 consecutive years, this would be less onerous than the current post-approval requirements of 21 CFR Part 814 Subpart E, including periodic reporting under 21 CFR 814.84.

    Collection or transfusion facilities, intended device users, and device manufacturers have specific responsibilities under federal regulations. For example, collection or transfusion facilities are required to keep records of all reports of adverse reaction claims (21 CFR 606.170), while the device manufacturer is responsible for conducting an investigation of any event of which the manufacturer is reasonably aware and evaluating the cause of the event ( §803.50(b) (21 CFR 803.50(b)) Additionally, medical device manufacturers are required to file reports of individual adverse events, such as death, serious injury, and malfunction, with the FDA (§803.50).

    In the Special Control Guidance document, the FDA recommends that manufacturers include in their triennial reports a summary of adverse events maintained by the collection or transfusion facility or similar reports of adverse events collected.

    The FDA estimates the effort involved in gathering this information as follows:

    Table 1 - Estimated volume of annual reports 1 activity number of
  • Respondent
  • number of
  • Respondent's responses
  • Total number of annual responses Average
  • burden by
  • answers
  • Total hours
    annual report 3 1 3 5 fifteen 1This collection of information is not associated with capital costs or operating and maintenance costs.

    Based on FDA records, there are approximately three manufacturers of automated blood cell sorting equipment. We estimate that manufacturers spend around 5 hours preparing and submitting the annual report. Based on a review of the information gathered since our last OMB approval request, we have not made any adjustments to our fee estimates.

    Other overload hours required by Section 864.9245 are reported and approved under OMB Control Number 0910-0120 (Premarket Notice Submission 510(k), 21 CFR Part 807, Subpart E) and OMB Control Number 0910-0437 (MDR, Part 803).

    Title:Stakeholder Scheduling Application.

    WBO Number:1651-NOVO.

    Current actions:Novo.

    Rating type:Novo.

    Affected public:individuals and companies.

    Abstract:The Stakeholder Scheduling feature is a mobile application within the CBP OneMT' app that will standardize and automate the manual process of agents and travelers making and updating appointments with CBP for various services. Currently, Customs and Border Protection Officers (CBPOs) and CBP Agricultural Specialists (CBPAS) spend significant time exchanging phone calls, faxes and emails with interested parties to schedule inspection services. This includes inspections of perishable cargo, non-perishable cargo identified as a mandatory inspection, commercial or private airlines and commercial ship arrivals. Based on the security clearance, CBP advises interested parties that certain shipments must be scanned by CBP's non-contact inspection technology prior to release. The stakeholders then agree with CBP on a time and place to conduct the scans. Pilots and other interested parties contact CBP to arrange a time and place for inspections of commercial and private carriers (including occupants) or commercial vessels arriving from abroad. In addition, travelers transporting sensitive agricultural products by plane tell CBP that an arrival inspection is required.

    The following CBP legal authorities permit the collection of this information: Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA), Public Law 108-458, 118 Stat. 3638; Immigration and Nationality Act, codified in 8 U.S.C. 1185 and 1354; Aviation and Transport Safety Act 2001 (ATSA); Enhanced Border Security and Visa Reform Act of 2002; and Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 66, 1433, 1459, 1485, 1624 and 2071.

    Title:Applications for private navigational aids and Class I private navigational aids on artificial islands and permanent structures.

    OMB Control Number:1625-0011.

    Summary:Pursuant to the provisions of 14 U.S.C. 81, the Coast Guard is authorized to set up navigational aids. 14 USC 83 prohibits the installation of navigational aids without Coast Guard approval. 33 CFR 66.01-5 provides individuals with the ability to establish private navigational aids. Under 43 U.S.C. 1333, the Coast Guard has authority to issue and enforce regulations relating to lights and other warning devices related to promoting the safety of life and property on man-made islands, facilities and other devices on the outer continental shelf engaged in exploration, Development, removal or transporting resources from there. 33 CFR 67.35-1 dictates the type of navigational aids that must be installed on man-made islands and fixed structures. Pursuant to the provisions of 33 U.S.C. 409, the Minister of Homeland Security is charged with prescribing rules and regulations for marking sunken ships. This authorization has been delegated to the Commander of the Coast Guard under Department of Homeland Security delegation number 0170, and the marking of sunken ships is specified in 33 CFR Part 64.11. To change regulations, 5 U.S.C. 553 requires that the regulation be published in theFederal registrationand that the notice must include an indication of the time, place and nature of the public regulationProcess. Information collected for the rule can only be obtained from owners of sunken ships. Information collection requirements are contained in 33 CFR 66.01-5 and 67.35-5.

These forms are required by 33 CFR 66 and 67. The information is processed to ensure that the private grant is compliant with applicable regulations. In addition, these Coast Guard forms provide information that can be distributed to the public to notify of new aids or changes to private navigational aids. Additionally, collecting the applicant's contact information is important as it allows the Coast Guard to contact the applicant in the event of a discrepancy or mishap regarding permitted private navigational aid. Certain discrepancies present hazards to navigation and must be corrected or repaired immediately.

    To form:

    • CG-2554, Private Navigation Aid Application.

    • CG-4143, Application for Class I Private Assistance for Navigation on Artificial Islands and Fixed Structures.

    Respondent:Owners of private navigation aids.

    Frequency:On occasion.

DG-1361 is the proposed Revision 2 of the Regulatory Guidance (RG) 1.89 of the same name. The proposed revision outlines an approach acceptable to NRC personnel to meet regulatory requirements for environmental qualification of certain electrical equipment important to the safety of nuclear power plants. The previous revision of RG 1.89 was published in June 1984 and confirmed the use of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standard (Std.) 323-1974. This proposed revision provides additional information on International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)/IEEE Std. 60780-323, "Nuclear Installations - Safety-Related Electrical Equipment - Qualification", Edition 1, 2016-02. The NRC received two requests for extensions of the public comment period (ADAMS accession numbers ML20142A003 and ML21041A128), but the agency was unable to extend the comment period before the comment period expired. The NRC has decided to reopen the public comment period for an additional 60 days to give members of the public more time to develop and submit their comments.

The Exchange has prepared summaries of the most important aspects of these statements, which are set out in Sections A, B and C below.

    A. Statement from the self-regulatory organization of the purpose and legal basis for the proposed rule change 1. Purpose

    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to amend the exchange's billing schedule in Equity 7, Sections 114 and 118(a).

    Proposed changes to rebates for qualified market makers

    Currently, pursuant to Equity 7, Section 114, the exchange offers a number of special pricing programs based in part on members' activity in securities priced at or above $1 in relation to total "consolidated volume".3 Among them is a program that offers rebates to Qualified Market Makers ("QMMs").4 Pursuant to Equity 7 Section 114(e), a member who qualifies as a QMM is entitled to a rebate per share which is applicable in respect of all orders placed (other than Designated Retail Orders as defined in Equity 7 Section 118) executed on securities with a price of $1 or more per share that provide liquidity on each of bands A, B and C. This rebate is in addition to any rebate payable under Equity 7, Section 118(a)). In particular, the exchange offers different discount levels for QMMs. Among other things, it offers a Tier 1 rebate of 0.0001 to any QMM performing liquidity actions on all securities through one or more Nasdaq Market Center MPIDs representing over 0.70% up to and including 0.90% of the consolidated volume USD per share on the month. In addition, the exchange is offering a Level 2 rebate of 0.0002 to any QMM performing liquidity operations on all securities through one or more Nasdaq Market Center MPIDs that account for more than 0.90% of the consolidated volume during the month USD per share at .

    3Pursuant to Capital 7 Section 114(h), the term “consolidated volume” shares the meaning of that term as in Capital 7 Section 118(a). Equity 7, Section 118(a) defines "Consolidated Volume" as the total consolidated volume reported to all reporting schedules of transactions consolidated by all exchanges and trade reporting facilities during a month for equity securities, excluding orders that are of a size less run as a round batch. For purposes of calculating a member's consolidated volume and size of trading activity, the date of the annual reconstitution of the Russell Investments indices is excluded from both the member's total consolidated volume and trading activity.

    4Pursuant to Equity 7, Section 114(d), a member may be designated as a QMM if: (1) the member does not receive an excess order fee under Equity 7, Section 118 during the month; and (2) the member quotes on the NBBO at least 25% of the time during regular market hours, averaging at least 1,000 securities per day during the month.

    For the month of December 2020 only, the Exchange changed the definition of “Consolidated Volume” in Equity 7 Section 114,5 to explain an unexpected spike in sub-dollar trading that had an adverse effectMember eligibility for tiered pricing programs - including the QMM pricing program - as such eligibility is dependent on members meeting threshold volume percentage as a percentage of consolidated volume, and the increase in sub-dollar volume has diluted those percentage calculations. In particular, the exchange amended the definition of “Consolidated Volume” to provide that for the purpose of determining which credits apply to a member in the month of December 2020, the exchange would calculate the member's volume and total consolidated volume twice. First, it would calculate membership volume and consolidated volume as currently defined in Equity 7 Section 118(a). Second, it would calculate Member Volume and Consolidated Volume excluding Volume and Consolidated Volume consisting of executed orders for securities priced below $1, and Consolidated Volume would rank members for the most beneficial credits and fees for the month of December 2020 qualify and then apply these credits and royalties to its members. Thus, with the exception of the increase in sub-dollar volume in December, if a member had qualified for a higher balance or lower rate that month, the exchange would have applied that higher balance or lower rate level to the member's trading activity. during the month.

    5VerSecurities Exchange Act Release No. 34-90719 (December 18, 2020), 85 FR 84437 (December 28, 2020) (SR-NASDAQ-2020-87).

    In making this change, the exchange argued that it would be unfair for its members who execute significant dollar volume in securities priced at $1 or more on the exchange to deny or deny their existing qualifications for December 2020 special awards due to anomalous behavior lose they have contributed nothing. The exchange noted that while the change would only apply to December 2020 prices, it would monitor sub-dollar volumes going forward and consider whether further price adjustments are warranted if sub-dollar volumes compare to the norm continue to remain elevated.

    In fact, the exchange noted that the surge in volume below the dollar has not abated and that it continues to threaten the ability of some exchange members to qualify for their price levels. As of January 2021, sub-dollar volume accounted for 13.65% of consolidated volume. In comparison, sub-dollar volume in 2020 represented an average of just 9.28% of consolidated volume. In particular, the sub-dollar phenomenon continues to threaten the ability of QMMs to achieve their Tier 1 and Tier 1 credit ratings in 2021 multiple QMMs experience these adverse effects.

    Accordingly, the Exchange proposes to amend the definition of “Consolidated Volume” in Equity 7, Section 114(h) to apply December 2020 pricing going forward to determine whether a QMM is for a Tier 1 or Tier 2 rebate -QMM is qualified.6 That is, the exchange calculates the volume of a QMM and the total consolidated volume twice. First, it calculates the QMM volume and the consolidated volume as currently specified in Equity 7, Section 118(a). Second, with some modifications described below, it calculates QMM Volume and Consolidated Volume without volume and Consolidated Volume, which consists of orders executed on securities priced below $1. These two calculations of QMM Volume and consolidated volume would qualify QMMs for the most advantageous credit tier and then apply those credits.

    6The exchange also proposes the exclusion of the normative text of Shareholders' Equity 7, Section 118, which establishes the same specific method of calculating volume as a percentage of consolidated volume in the month of December 2020. Currently, the exchange does not propose the use of this particular method beyond December 2020 for its table of transaction fees and credits in Equity 7, Section 118. That the Exchange does not exclude sub-dollar volume for purposes of calculating the price levels set forth in Equity 7, Section 118. The Exchange proposes to remove the specific methodology from the normative text as it is no longer in force.

    The exchange believes its QMM program plays an important role in improving quality, deepening liquidity and narrowing spreads in its market. The QMM pricing program, on the other hand, offers discounts that are essential to encourage members to meet the bid requirements to serve as QMMs. To the extent that an increase in sub-dollar trading by non-QMMs threatens the ability of QMMs to qualify for the rebates that motivate members to trade as QMMs, the exchange believes it is appropriate is to take steps to maintain the effectiveness of these discounts. including the potential exclusion of sub-dollar volume from discount eligibility criteria.

    If the exchange proposes to exclude sub-dollar volumes from the QMM rebate qualification formulas, the exchange is also proposing to increase the consolidated volume threshold percentages that a QMM must meet in order to qualify for Tier 1 rebates to ensure that this case is properly calibrated. That said, while the exchange is proposing to exclude sub-dollar volume to prevent rebate eligibility criteria from becoming too difficult to achieve, the exchange also wants to ensure that by excluding sub-dollar volume, those criteria are not too easy to achieve and continue to encourage QMMs to add more liquidity to the exchange in securities priced at $1 or more. The exchange believes that a small upward adjustment to the consolidated volume threshold will ensure that the Tier 1 rebate for QMMs remains relatively difficult to achieve when sub-dollar volume is excluded. To qualify for the Tier 1 rebate (excluding sub-dollar volume), the exchange proposes that a QMM take liquidity action on securities through one or more of its Nasdaq Market Center MPIDs that are in excess of 0.80% up to and including 0.90% Consolidated volume for one month. To qualify for the Tier 2 rebate (again, excluding sub-dollar volume), the exchange proposes that the eligibility requirements remain unchanged: A QMM must perform liquidity operations on securities through one or more of its Nasdaq Market Center MPIDs , which represent more than 0.90% of the consolidated volume during a month.

    The following example illustrates how the proposed changes to the QMM discount levels work when viewed together. During a month, a QMM adds 90 million shares to the exchange, of which 300,000 shares consist of volume in sub-dollar securities. Meanwhile, the total consolidated volume for the month is 13 billion shares, of which 1.8 billion shares are sub-dollar securities executions. To determine if the QMM qualifies for a QMM Tier 1 rebate under the Offering, the exchange would first determine if the QMM's volume, including its sub-dollar activity, is between 0.70% and 0.70%. 90% of the consolidated volume (including sub-dollars). In this example, QMM would not qualify for Tier 1 in this formula as QMM only added 0.69% of committed volume over the month. However, the exchange would then determine whether the QMM would qualify for the Tier 1 rebate under the alternative formula where the sub-dollar volume of the QMM and the consolidated volume attributable to the sub-dollar are excluded from the calculation while volume increases the qualifying threshold of QMM percentages of consolidated volume to 0.80% to 0.90%. Under this alternate formula, that would be QMMqualifies for Tier 1 rebates as it adds 0.80% of consolidated volume (excluding sub-dollar volume). Since the proposal was for the exchange to apply the most beneficial calculation results to the QMM, in this example the exchange would apply the Tier 1 rebate to the QMM.

    Proposed changes to existing transaction credits

    In addition, the exchange is proposing to change three of the credits it offers members in listings or orders displayed on securities on all three bands (excluding supplement orders or designated retail orders) that add liquidity to the exchange, as in equity set forth at 7, Section 118(a).

    First, the exchange is proposing to amend a credit it is currently offering of $0.00295 per share granted to a member with liquidity shares posted on all securities through one or more of their Nasdaq Market Center MPIDs, representing 0.90% or more of the consolidated volume for the month includes liquidity actions related to securities listed on exchanges other than Nasdaq or NYSE and representing 0.25% or more of the consolidated volume. The exchange is proposing to reduce the marginal percentage of consolidated volume required to enable this credit from 0.90% to 0.85%. The exchange is proposing to lower this threshold to make it easier for members to qualify for the $0.00295 per share executed credit. More members can try to get this credit as it is more accessible for them. As more members increase their activity to add liquidity to the exchange to get this credit, the quality of the market will improve to the benefit of all participants.

    Second, the exchange is proposing to amend a $0.0029 per share credit it is currently offering granted to a member with liquidity shares posted on all securities through one or more Nasdaq Market Center MPIDs, which is more than 0.70% of the consolidated volume during the month. The exchange is proposing to reduce the marginal percentage of consolidated volume required to enable this credit from 0.70% to 0.675%. The exchange is also proposing to lower this threshold to make it easier for members to qualify for the $0.0029 per share executed credit. Again, more members can try to get this credit as it is the easiest for them to access. As more members increase their activity to add liquidity to the exchange to get this credit, the quality of the market will improve to the benefit of all participants.

    Third, the exchange is proposing to amend a credit it currently provides at $0.0025 per share, granted to a member who provides an average daily average of at least 4 million shares of liquidity, of which more than 1.5 Millions of shares per day must not contain displayed liquidity, excluding average orders. The exchange is proposing to amend the credit to allow the "more than 1.5 million shares per day" requirement to be met by not only adding non-displayed liquidity (excluding midpoint orders), but also extended- Point life orders are used. ). The exchange is proposing this change to give members a new incentive to significantly increase liquidity on M-ELO orders every day and to make it easier for members to obtain credit, thereby attracting more members to try increase their add-activity exchange to it. To the extent that the proposed amended credit succeeds in increasing the number of its members receiving credit and increasing the amount of liquidity made available to the exchange, the quality of the market will improve for all participants to enhance.

    Proposed new growth stage

    Finally, the Exchange proposes to amend Equity 7, Section 118(a) to grant a member a new executed credit of $0.0029 per share for quotes or orders appearing on securities on all three bands (excluding supplemental orders or designated retail orders). Adding liquidity to the exchange to the extent that the participant, via one or more of its Nasdaq Market Center MPIDs: (i) provides liquidity percentages in all securities equal to 0.65% or more of the consolidated volume during the month; (ii) increase your average daily volume of executed M-ELO Orders during the month relating to the month of January 2021 by 150% or more; and (iii) executes an average daily volume of at least 750,000 Shares in M-ELO Orders for the month. The exchange intends that this new credit will encourage members to use the M-ELO order type more extensively on the exchange and will reward members who do so in significant amounts. The exchange believes that each subsequent increase in M-ELO liquidity on the exchange will improve the quality of the Nasdaq market generally, as well as the experience of members who choose to interact with the market through M-ELO. As the proposed new credit provides credit to its members and increases the amount of liquidity made available to the exchange, the quality of the market will improve for all participants.

    2. Legal basis

    The Exchange believes its proposals are consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,7 generally and further for the purposes of Sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,8 in particular to the extent that they provide for a fair allocation of reasonable fees, charges and other levies between members and issuers and other user entities and are not designed to allow unfair discrimination between clients, issuers, brokers or dealers. The proposals also comply with Section 11A of the National Securities Market System Establishment Act.

    715 USC 78f(b).

    815 USC 78f(b)(4) und (5).

    Offers are reasonable

    The scholarship proposals are reasonable in many ways. Generally, the exchange is subject to significant competitive forces in the market for securities trading services, which limit its pricing in this market. The fact that this market is highly competitive has long been recognized by the courts. InsideNetCoalitionv.Security and Exchange Commission,the DC Circuit stated: “[No one] denies that competition for order flow is 'tough.' 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 As the SEC explained, "[in] the US national market system, buyers and sellers of securities and the brokers who act as their order-routing agents have a wide range of options as to where to send orders for execution." be able to lead." ; [and] "no exchange can afford to take their market share percentages for granted" because "no exchange has a monopoly, regulatory or otherwise, on the execution of brokers' order flow." 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷9

    9NetCoalitionv.SEK,615 F.3d 525, 539 (DC Cir. 2010) (citing Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59039 (December 2, 2008), 73 FR 74770, 74782-83 (December 9, 2008) (SR-NYSEArca-2006 -21 )).

    The Commission and the courts have repeatedly expressed their preference for competition over regulatory intervention in pricing, products and services in securities markets. In the NMS Regulation, by adopting a series of measures to improve the current market model, the Commission has highlighted the importance of market forces in determining SRO prices and revenues, acknowledging that the current regulation of the market system has been “remarkably successful in promoting the market competition in hisbroader avenues that matter most to investors and public companies.”10

    10Securities Exchange Act Release No. 51808 (9. Juni 2005), 70 FR 37496, 37499 (29. Juni 2005) („Regulation NMS Adopting Release“).

    Numerous indications show the competitive character of this market. For example, in the securities trading services market, there are clear substitutes for the stock exchange. The stock exchange is just one of several stock exchanges to which market participants can direct their order flow. Competing exchanges offer exchange-like tiered pricing structures, including rebate plans and fees that apply when members reach certain volume thresholds.

    In this environment, market participants can freely and frequently shift their order flow between the exchange and competing trading venues to respond to changes in their respective pricing plans. In the above context, the proposals represent reasonable attempts by the exchange to increase its liquidity and market share relative to its competitors.

    Regarding the exchange's proposal to potentially exclude sub-dollar volume for the purposes of determining QMMs' eligibility for Tier 1 and Tier 2 rebates, the exchange believes this proposal is appropriate as without this proposal, QMMs may not register qualify for their existing QMM price levels or do not qualify for better price levels. The exchange does not want to penalize QMMs that engage in significant activity on the exchange with securities priced at or above $1 due to sub-dollar trading activities of other companies. The proposed rule change would aim to avoid such a penalty by calculating eligibility for Tier 1 and Tier 2 rebates by first including and then excluding sub-dollar volume, and then applying the calculation associated with would lead to the most favorable prices for each QMM.

    At the same time, by excluding sub-dollar volume from its tier QMM eligibility formulas, the exchange deems it appropriate to increase the threshold percentages of consolidated volume that a QMM must achieve in order to qualify for a Tier 1 rebate Calibrate QMM Tier 1 rebate eligibility criteria so that by excluding sub-dollar volume, Tier 1 rebate is neither too difficult nor too easy for QMMs to achieve. That said, while excluding sub-dollar volume from calculations can help QMMs stay in their existing tiers even as sub-dollar activity from other companies increases, the exchange also wants to ensure that tiers continue to challenge QMMs to add more volume in Add stocks priced at or above $1. The exchange advises that if QMMs are unable to meet the higher percentage consolidated volume requirements for Tier 1, they may still qualify for Tier under the existing eligibility, the sub- Includes dollar volume but applies lower percentage requirements of consolidated volume.

    As for the Exchange's proposals to relax the eligibility criteria for three of its transaction credits, the Exchange believes these proposals are reasonable under Equity 7, Section 118(a) as they will ease or broaden the eligibility criteria for the credits thereby allowing them to become more members encourage them to try to preserve the credits by adding additional liquidity to the exchange. As more members increase their activity by adding liquidity to the exchange to receive these credits, the quality of the market will improve and the exchange will become more attractive to existing and potential participants.

    Finally, the exchange considers its proposal to set up a new overall loan with a growth component linked to M-ELO activity to be appropriate. The proposal will encourage members to increase the extent to which they use M-ELO orders on the exchange and will reward members who do so in significant amounts. The exchange believes that each subsequent increase in M-ELO liquidity on the exchange will improve the quality of the Nasdaq market generally, as well as the experience of members who choose to interact with the market through M-ELO. Additionally, if members increase their activity of adding liquidity to the exchange to get this new credit, the quality of the market will improve and the exchange will become more attractive to existing and potential participants. The exchange notes that it has chosen January 2021 as the baseline for the growth requirements as that is the month immediately before the new level is set.

    The exchange notes that market participants unhappy with the proposals are free to shift their flow of orders to competing trading venues that offer them lower rates or higher or more readily available credit.

    Suggestions are fair allocations of credits

    The exchange believes that its proposals will distribute its credits fairly among its market participants.

    The exchange believes that its proposal to change the eligibility criteria for Tier 1 and Tier 2 QMM rebates is a fair allocation as it would strengthen the effectiveness of QMM rebates, which are driven by an increase in sub-dollar trading are threatened. Maintaining the viability of QMM rebates is critical to securing participation in the QMM program, which in turn is an important contributor to the quality of the Nasdaq market. While the recent surge in sub-dollar prices also threatens to erode members' ability to qualify for other volume-based Nasdaq credits and fees, the exchange believes its most urgent need is to address the threat to the QMM program as several QMMs are already experiencing negative price effects from the sub-dollar phenomenon. The exchange notes that it continues to evaluate whether and how its other volume-based pricing programs can be modified to accommodate the increase in sub-dollar volumes.

    The exchange also believes that by excluding sub-dollar volume from the QMM Tier 1 eligibility formula, it is a fair allocation to increase the threshold percentage of consolidated volume that a QMM must meet to qualify for credit to qualify. The exchange believes it is fair to calibrate the Tier 1 rebate eligibility criteria so that the tiers are neither too difficult nor too easy for QMMs to reach. That said, just as the exchange believes it is fair to help QMMs stay in their existing tiers by excluding sub-dollar activity for the above reasons, the exchange also believes that it is beneficial to market quality, Continue to challenge QMMs to add additional volume on stocks priced at $1 or above. The exchange notes that if QMMs are unable to meet the higher Comprise volume percentage requirement for the Tier 1 rebate, they can still qualify for the tier under the existing qualification formula that requires sub-dollar volume includes but lower Percentage requirements apply to consolidated volume.

    It's also fair that the exchange is changing three of their transaction credits by lowering and/or expanding their eligibility requirements to encourage more members to try to get the credits by adding additional liquidity to the exchange, including in M-ELO- orders . To the extent that the exchange is able to increase liquidity on the exchange, including in M-ELO orders, the exchange will experience an improvement in its market quality, which will benefit all market participants.

    Finally, the exchange believes it is fair to set up a new level of additional lending in conjunction with the growth of M-ELO activity. The M-ELO order typeIt represents a valuable means by which like-minded participants with common time horizons can safely interact in the market and mitigate the risk of adverse selection and information loss. The addition of this proposed new credit tier will encourage members to increase the extent of their use of M-ELO orders on the exchange and will reward members who do so in significant amounts. The exchange believes that any increase in M-ELO liquidity on the exchange resulting from the introduction of this new facility will improve the quality of the Nasdaq market generally, as well as the experience of members who choose to with the market via the M -ELO commands. In addition, if members increase their activities of adding liquidity to the exchange in order to obtain this credit, the quality of the market will improve and the exchange will become more attractive to existing and potential participants.

    Any participant dissatisfied with the bids is free to switch their flow of orders to competing sites that offer more generous pricing or less stringent eligibility criteria.

    Tenders are not unjustifiably discriminatory

    The Exchange believes that its proposals are not unjustifiably discriminatory. As a starting point, the exchange believes there is nothing inherently unfair about its volume-based tiered pricing model; Rather, it's an established rational pricing model that's ubiquitous in today's economy with businesses in every industry - from co-branded credit cards to supermarkets and cell phone data plans - using it to reward the loyalty of their customers. that offer a high level of trading activity and encourage other clients to increase the volume of their trading activities. It's also a pricing model that the exchange and its competitors have long used, with the approval of the commission. It's fair because it encourages client activity that increases liquidity, improves price discovery, and improves the overall quality of stock markets.

    The exchange believes that its proposal to change the eligibility criteria for Tier 1 and Tier 2 QMM rebates is not unduly discriminatory. While the increase in sub-dollar trading will impact the ability to sustain many of the Nasdaq's volume-based price levels, it is only fair that the exchange addresses the impact on QMM rebates as maintaining the accessibility of QMM rebates from Participation in the QMM program is of crucial importance, which in turn makes an important contribution to the quality of the Nasdaq market. Even as the exchange continues to evaluate whether and how to modify its overall volume-based pricing programs to accommodate the rise in sub-dollar volumes, the exchange believes there is now an urgent need to address the specific threat that represents this phenomenon for the program. QMM, since there are already adverse price effects with several QMMs.

    At the same time, it is not unfairly discriminatory to increase the threshold percentage of consolidated volume that a QMM must meet to qualify for the Tier 1 rebate when the exchange also excludes sub-dollar volume from the eligibility calculation. The exchange believes it is fair to calibrate the eligibility criteria for the QMM Tier 1 rebate so that the tiers are neither too difficult nor too easy for QMMs to achieve. That said, just as the exchange believes that helping QMMs stay in their existing tiers by excluding sub-dollar activity is not unfairly discriminatory for the above reasons, the exchange also believes that it benefits market quality to keep challenging QMMs to add additional volume for stocks priced at or above $1. The exchange notes that if QMMs are unable to meet the higher consolidated volume percentage requirement for Tier 1, they can still qualify for the tier under the existing qualification formula, which includes sub-dollar volume but applies lower percentage requirements for the consolidated volume.

    Additionally, the exchange believes that its three proposed changes to its transaction credits are not unduly discriminatory as they aim to improve the overall quality of the exchange's market to the benefit of all market participants by encouraging more members to provide additional liquidity to the exchange. , including M-ELO liquidity.

    Likewise, the exchange believes that its new proposal to add loans with a growth component is not unduly discriminatory as it aims to encourage the growth of M-ELO orders on the exchange, which, if successful, will improve the quality of the Nasdaq market will improve General. , for the benefit of all market participants, as well as to enhance the experience of members who choose to interact with the market through M-ELO. In addition, if members increase their activities of adding liquidity to the exchange in order to obtain this credit, the quality of the market will improve and the exchange will become more attractive to existing and potential participants.

    Any participant dissatisfied with the bids is free to switch their flow of orders to competing sites that offer more generous pricing or less stringent eligibility criteria.

    B. Opinion of the self-regulatory organization on the burden of competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule changes will create unfair competition that are not necessary or proportionate to achieve the purposes of the Act.

    competition within the market

    The exchange does not believe that its proposal will place any category of exchange participants at a competitive disadvantage.

    As noted above, the proposed change to the exchange's QMM discount pricing methodology will help ensure that no QMM suffers a pricing disadvantage due to the continued rise in sub-dollar volumes, while providing a properly calibrated incentive for QMMs to continue to do so Adding additional liquidity to the exchange in securities priced at $1 or more. It is not intended to provide any particular QMM with a competitive advantage.

    Meanwhile, proposed changes to the eligibility criteria for three of the exchange's transaction credits will make it easier for members to obtain these credits and thus encourage more members to attempt to obtain these credits, thereby increasing their pro-market behavior. Each member can choose to provide the required levels or types of liquidity to receive the credits. In addition, all exchange members benefit from an increase in market activity caused by the bids.

    Likewise, the proposed addition of a discount linked to a member's activity on M-ELO orders will encourage the growth of this activity for the benefit of users of these order types as well as the quality of the market in general. Any member can choose to participate in the required M-ELO liquidity to qualify for this new loan.

    The exchange notes that its members are free to trade elsewhere if they feel the proposed amended credits are too low or the eligibility criteria unattractive. As can be seen from any market share chart, price competition between exchanges is fierce, with liquidity and market share moving freely between exchanges in response to price and credit changes. The exchange notes that its price level structure is consistent with the brokerage feeMedical practices as well as other industries as described above.

    competition between markets

    In terms of competition between markets, the exchange notes that it operates in a highly competitive market where market participants can easily favor competing locations if they find the fee levels at a particular location excessive or the discount opportunities available elsewhere . cheaper. In this environment, the exchange must continually adjust its credits and fees to remain competitive with other exchanges and alternative trading systems that are exempt from exchange regulatory compliance. Because competitors are free to change their own credit and price in response, and because market participants can easily adjust their order-routing practices, the exchange believes that the extent to which credit or price changes in this market will impact competition able to strain, extreme is limited.

    The proposed new and amended loans reflect this competition because the exchange, despite being one of the largest U.S. exchanges by volume, has less than 20% market share, which hardly qualifies as a leveraged market in most competitive markets overwhelm. Additionally, as noted above, price competition between exchanges is fierce, with liquidity and market share moving freely between exchanges in response to changes in price and credit. This contributes to the free flow of orders to and between OTC locations, which accounts for more than 50% of industry volume.

    The exchange's proposals are pro-competitive in that the exchange intends to maintain and enhance its incentive programs and increase liquidity-providing activities on the exchange, thereby making the exchange a more attractive and dynamic place for market participants.

    In short, if the changes proposed here are not attractive to market participants, it is likely that the exchange will lose market share as a result. Consequently, the Exchange does not believe that the proposed changes will affect the ability of members or competing order execution venues to maintain their competitive position in the financial markets.

    SECURITY AND REPLACEMENT COMMITTEE [Release #34-91109; File number SR-NASDAQ-2020-090] self-regulatory organizations; Nasdaq Stock Market LLC; Order Approving a Proposed Rule Change Amending the Exchange Rules in Equity 4, Section 4703(h) Regarding Reservation Orders February 11, 2021. I. Introduction

    On December 15, 2020, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("stock exchange" or "Nasdaq") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Act of 1934 ("Act")1 and Rule 19b-4 below,2 a proposed rule change amending the Exchange Rules in Equity 4, Section 4703(h) relating to orders with the reserve size order attribute. The proposed rule change has been posted for commentFederal registrationon December 30, 2020.3 The commission received no comments on the proposed rule change. This order authorizes the proposed rule change.

    115 USC 78s(b)(1).

    217 CFR 240.19b-4.

    3VerSecurities Exchange Act Release No. 90793 (December 23, 2020), 85 FR 86598 (“Notice”).

    II. Description of the offer

    Pursuant to Equity 4, Exchange Rules Section 4703(h), reserve size is an order attribute that allows a participant to specify that the advertised size of an advertised order type may be supplemented by non-displayed additional size. When a Participant enters a reserve size Order (“Reserve Order”), the full size of the Order will be displayed for potential execution under the NMS Regulation and thereafter the unexecuted portions of the Order will be processed as a Displayed Order and a Non-Displayed Order.4 If a reserve order is booked and an execution occurs against the displayed order that causes its size to drop below a normal trade, a new displayed order will be entered and re-timestamped while the size of the undisplayed order will remain at reduced by the same amount and does not receive a new timestamp.5

    4VerExchange Equity 4, Abschnitt 4703(h).also seeSecurities Exchange Act Release Nr. 90389 (10. November 2020), 85 FR 73304 (17. November 2020) (Amending Exchange Equity 4, Section 4703(h) Relating to Reserve Orders).

    5VerExchange Equity 4, Abschnitt 4703(h).

    The exchange is proposing to amend Equity 4, Section 4703(h) to provide that if the newly displayed order blocks an order that was posted on the Nasdaq ledger before the reset can occur, the displayed order will be booked at the block price is displayed when the order is placed remainder is not displayed,6 or it would be revalued, sorted and displayed with a lower (higher) reserve price increment than the lock price when the remaining sell (buy) order is displayed. The proposed functionality also applies to a reserve order that is not fully executed at the first order entry if the displayed order part of the reserve order blocks a remaining order at the entry.7

    6The exchange states that if the newly displayed order is published on the Nasdaq ledger and a non-displayed order is blocked at rest with the Trade Now order attribute enabled, as per the definition of Trade Now, the Trade Now functionality will be applied and the not displayed order as Liquidity Taker could execute against the displayed blocking order.VerNotice,AboveNote 3, in 86598-99 n.7. If a blocked order that is not displayed does not have the order attribute "act now" activated, new incoming orders can be filled against the displayed order.See ID. also seeExchange Equity 4, Section 4703(m) (describes the order attribute “act now”).

    7VerNotice,AboveNote 3, in 86598 n.6. The exchange also proposes to correct a non-material typo in Exchange Equity 4, Section 4703(h).

    According to the exchange, it created the reserve order with the intention that the order will always act as a liquidity provider when replenished, and this is what exchange participants expect from the execution of reserve orders.8 The exchange claims that the proposal would eliminate any ambiguity under its existing rules about whether a reserve order would receive liquidity if a lock order is posted on the Nasdaq ledger before the reserve order completes its replenishment (or before the indicated order portion of the start booking request is posted). first time in the Nasdaq book).9

    8See ID.em 86598.

    9See ID.at 86599. The exchange also alleges that a 2016 rules filing introduced a rare circumstance where a reserve order, after replenishment of its displayed order portion, could theoretically become a liquidity remover under the exchange's existing rules.See ID.86598-89.

    III. Committee discussion and conclusions

    After careful consideration, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations applicable to a national exchange.10 In particular, the Commission notes that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,11 which requires, among other things, that the rules of a national stock exchange be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, promote fair and equitable trading principles, encourage cooperation and coordination with persons involved in facilitating transactions in securities, to remove obstacles and improve the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and more generally to protect investors and the public interest.

    10In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission considered the impact of the proposed rule on efficiency, competition and capital formation.Ver15 USC 78c(f).

    1115 USC 78f(b)(5).

    As discussed above, the proposed rule change is intended to ensure that once a reserve order has been posted to the Nasdaq ledger, it will always act as a liquidity provider when the displayed order portion is replenished. The Commission believes that the proposed rule change is appropriately designed to ensure that a reserve regime works similarly under racing conditions (This is,when a blocking order is booked on the Nasdaq ledger before the booking order completes its replenishment or before the indicated order portion of the booking order is published on the Nasdaq book for the first time), as would occur under off-run conditions. The commission also believes that the proposed rule change would provide users of reserve orders with more certainty and transparency about how the exchange processes these orders.12

    12The Commission also believes that the correction of the non-material typo in Exchange Equity 4, Section 4703(h) would improve the readability and clarity of this rule.

    Based on the above, the Commission is of the opinion that the proposed rule change is in line with the law.

    4. Conclusion

    Therefore it is orderedpursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,13 that the proposed rule change (SR-NASDAQ-2020-090) and is hereby approved.

    I. Statement from the Self-Regulatory Organization on the Main Provisions of the Proposed Rule Change

    Cboe C2 Exchange, Inc. (the "exchange" or "C2") is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") a proposed rule change to amend the schedule of fees. The text of the proposed rule change is included in Appendix 5.

    The text of the proposed rule change is also available on the Exchange website (http://markets.cboe.com/us/options/regulation/rule_filings/ctwo/), in the Bolsa Secretariat and in the public reference room of the Commission.

    II. Statement from the self-regulatory organization on the purpose and legal basis of the proposed rule change

    In its submission to the commission, the exchange included explanations of the purpose and basis for the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The wording of these declarations can be consulted at the places indicated under point IV. The Exchange has prepared summaries of the most important aspects of these statements, which are set out in Sections A, B and C below.

    A. Statement from the self-regulatory organization of the purpose and legal basis for the proposed rule change 1. Purpose

    The exchange is proposing to change its fee schedule to change certain standard transaction fees for AAPL, QQQ, IWM, and SLV transactions. Specifically, the exchange is proposing to (1) change the transaction fee for AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV orders from public clients removing liquidity, (2) rebate for C2 AAPL, QQQ, IWM and Modify SLV market maker orders that add liquidity, (3) modify the discount for AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV non-customer, non-market maker orders that add liquidity, and (4) Introduce an increased discount for AAPL, QQQ, IWM and C2 Market Maker SLV orders that are NBBO Joiners or NBBO Setters.3

    3The exchange first filed the proposed fee changes on February 1, 2021 (SR-C2-2021-003). On February 5, 2021, the exchange withdrew this deposit and submitted this proposal.

    The exchange first notes that it operates in a highly competitive market where market participants can easily divert the flow of orders to competing trading venues if they feel fees are excessive or incentives are inadequate at a particular location. More specifically, the exchange is just one of 16 option venues that market participants can direct their order flow to. Based on publicly available information, no single options exchange has more than 16% of the market share and the exchange currently represents approximately 3% of the market share.4 Therefore, in a market so unconcentrated and highly competitive, no single options exchange, including the Exchange, has significant pricing power in executing the stream of options orders. The exchange believes that the constantly changing market share between exchanges from month to month shows that market participants may shift the flow of orders or stop using certain product categories in response to price changes. As a result, competitive forces limit exchange transaction fees and market participants can easily trade on competing venues if they find price levels on those other venues more favourable.

    4VerCboe Global Markets US Options Market Volume Summary by Month (26 January 2021), available athttps://markets.cboe.com/us/options/market_statistics/.

    First, the exchange is proposing to change the transaction fee for public client orders to AAPL, QQQ, IWM, and SLV, which remove liquidity. Currently, public client orders for all classes of stock options, multilist indices, ETF and ETN including AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV that remove liquidity are priced with a standard transaction fee of $0.43 per contract and yield code "PC". The exchange is proposing to remove orders in AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV from the PC price code and instead rate the “SC” price code for public client orders in AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV, which remove liquidity. The SC fee code is currently attached to public client orders on SPY, which remove liquidity and charge a reduced fee (vs. the PC fee code) of $0.39 per contract.5

    5The exchange notes that when it introduced the SPY price plan and fee codes SC, SL, SM, and SN, it inadvertently failed to add these fee codes to the “Fee Codes and Associated Fees” table, which lists all rates available for C2 orders. The exchange now adds these fee codes to the “Fee Codes and Associated Fees” table. This does not change current rates or the description (except as suggested herein) of those rate codes.VerExchange Notice No. 89828 (September 11, 2020), 85 FR 58078 (September 17, 2020) (SR-C2-2020-013).

    Next, the exchange proposes to change the discount for Market Maker C2 orders to AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV, which add liquidity. Currently, market makers C2 orders for all classes of stock options, multilist indices, ETF and ETN including AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV that add liquidity receive a rebate of $0.41 per contract and trade code “PM”. The exchange proposes to remove orders in AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV from the PM rate code and instead use the existing "SM" rate code for market maker C2 orders in AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV to evaluate. The SM price code is currently attached to Market Maker C2 orders in SPY, which add liquidity and offer a reduced discount (versus the PM price code) of $0.26 per contract.

    The exchange is also proposing to change the discount for non-market-making orders, non-clients on AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV that add liquidity. Currently non-market-making, non-sales orders (This is,Professional Client, Firm, Broker/Dealer, Non-C2 Market Maker, JBO, etc.) on all penny option classes on stocks, multiples listed indices, ETF and ETN including AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV adding liquidity at a rebate of $0.36 per contract and PN yield rate code is provided. The exchange is proposing to remove orders in AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV from the PN rate code and instead add the existing “SN” rate code in non-market making and non-client orders in AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV evaluate, add liquidity . Rate code SN is currently attached to such orders in SPY and rates a reduced discount (from rate code PN) of $0.20 per contract.

    The exchange is also proposing to add Market Maker C2 orders in AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV to the existing “SL” price code. The SL price code is currently associated with Market Maker C2 orders on SPY that add liquidity and are a National Best Bid or Offer (“NBBO”) Joiner or NBBO Setter, offering a rebate of $0.31 per contract for such orders. Specifically, to qualify as an NBBO Joiner, a C2 Market Maker Order must improve the C2 Best Bid or Offer (“BBO”) and result in C2 joining an existing NBBO. Only the first order received that results in the C2 BBO joining the NBBO at a new price tier will qualify for the increased discount. If C2 is on the NBBO, the order will not qualify. Alternatively, C2 Market Makers can receive the extended rebate if they are an NBBO setter. In order to qualify as an NBBO setter and receive the extended rebate, a C2 market maker order must define the NBBO. The exchange believes that the evaluation of the SL price code and the corresponding increased rebate for C2 market makers in AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV who are NBBO joiners or setters will incentivize liquidity providers, liquidity in AAPL options, Provide QQQ, IWM and SLV at more aggressive prices.

    The exchange is also proposing to add AAPL, QQQ, IWM, and SLV to the table in the fee schedule, which currently sets specific pricing for SPY. As with SPY, the exchange also proposes to clarify that the first table of transaction fees, which does not apply to RUT, DJX and SPY, also does not apply to AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV. The exchange notes that the transaction fees and rebates apply to (1) public client orders in AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV that add liquidity (existing fee code “PY”), (2) C2 market maker orders on AAPL , QQQ, IWM and SLV removing liquidity (existing rate code "PR"), (3) non-market-making, non-client orders on AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV removing liquidity (existing rate code "PP")) , (4) orders on AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV trading open open (existing rate code "OO"), and (5) dormant orders on AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV trading complex dormant orders (existing rate code "CA"), these do not change, nor do the associated rate codes.

    2. Legal basis

    The exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the objectives of Section 6 of the Act,6 generally and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4),7 particularly as it seeks to ensure an equitable distribution of fees, charges and other reasonable dues between its members and issuers and others using its facilities. The Exchange also believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the objectives of Section 6(b)(5).8 Requirements that an exchange's rules be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, promote fair and equitable trading principles, encourage cooperation and coordination with persons involved in regulation, clearing, settlement, processing of information relating to and facilitating securities transactions, to remove obstacles and to improve the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and generally to protect investors and the public interest, and in particular shall not allow unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers or resellers .

    615 USC 78f.

    715 USC 78f(b)(4).

    815 USC 78f(b)(5).

    As described above, the exchange operates in a highly competitive market where market participants can easily divert the flow of orders to competing trading venues if they feel that fees at a particular location are excessive or incentives are insufficient. In particular, the proposed changes to the exchange's execution fees and rebates for certain orders on AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV are intended to direct order flow to the exchange while continuing to offer competitive prices while providing additional incentives to provide indicated liquidity at aggressive prices. which the exchange believes would improve market quality to the benefit of all market participants.

    The exchange believes that the proposed changes are reasonable as they are competitive and consistent with the exchange's current prices for the same orders on SPY and with prices for many of the same products on other exchanges.9 The exchange believes that it is appropriate to reduce the transaction fee for public client orders in AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV that remove liquidity as market participants are subject to lower fees for such orders and therefore could be encouraged to retail AAPL, QQQ increase , IWM and SLV orders flow to the exchange. The exchange believes it is appropriate to reduce rebates for both C2 market maker and non-market maker non-client orders on AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV which add liquidity as these market participants continue to receive discounts for such orders, albeit at a lower amount, already applied to such orders in SPY. Additionally, Market Makers who are NBBO Joins or Setters would be eligible for the same increased rebate currently offered for joining or setting up an NBBO in SPY. The exchange believes that offering the NBBO joiner and setter rebate for market maker orders in AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV is appropriate as it aims to incentivize C2 market makers to place the C2 BBO, resulting in C2 joining an existing NBBO or founding a new NBBO to receive the rebate, encouraging C2 market makers to send more aggressive AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV orders that tight spreads are maintained, benefiting both trading license holders and public investors.

    9See for exampleMIAX Pearl Fee Schedule, Section 1 Transaction Discounts/Fees, which provides a fee of $0.50 per contract for IWM and QQQ orders from priority customers removing liquidity.also seeNasdaq ISE Pricing Schedule, Section 3, Footnote 5, which offers tiered rebates for SPY orders from market makers adding liquidity between $0.05 and $0.26 per contract.

    The exchange also believes that it is reasonable, fair and not unjustifiably discriminatory to adopt specific prices for certain orders in AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV, as the exchange already has the same price for such orders in SPY as well as specific prices for similar ones Products for specific inquiries about other products such as RUT and DJX.10 Additionally, as mentioned above, other exchanges also offer product-specific pricing.11

    10VerCboe C2 options exchange rate table, transaction fees.

    11See for exampleMIAX Pearl Fee Schedule, Section 1 Transaction Discounts/Fees, which provides a fee of $0.46 per contract for priority client SPY orders removing liquidity.also seeNasdaq ISE Pricing Schedule, Section 3, Footnote 5, which provides tiered rebates for market maker IWM and QCC orders adding liquidity between $0.05 and $0.26 per contract, and exhausted rebates for market maker orders on similar single name options (AMZN, FB and NVDA) between $0.15 and $0.22.

    The exchange also believes that setting a lower rate for public client orders on AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV compared to other market participants is fair and not unfairly discriminatory as the flow of client orders increases liquidity on the exchange to the benefit of all increases participating markets. In particular, client liquidity benefits all market participants by providing more trading opportunities, which attracts market makers. An increase in the activity of these market participants, in turn, allows for tighter spreads, which can lead to a corresponding further increase in the flow of orders from other market participants. Additionally, the options industry has a long history of offering customers preferential pricing, and the exchange's current fee schedule currently does so in many places, as do the fee structures of many others.Exchange.12 The exchange points out that the proposed fee change will apply equally to all public customers.

    12VerCboe C2 options exchange rate table, transaction fees.also seeRate table for BZX options, rate codes and associated charges.

    In addition, the exchange believes that it is fair and not unduly discriminatory to grant higher rebates to market makers that add liquidity compared to other market participants, excluding clients, because market makers, unlike other market participants, have a number assume obligations, including listing obligations, that other market participants do not have. Additionally, these rebates are designed to encourage market makers to list and trade more C2 options, creating more trading opportunities for all market participants. The exchange notes that the proposed changes to Market Maker C2 rebates for AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV options apply equally to all Market Maker C2. Likewise, the exchange believes that it is fair and not unfairly discriminatory to grant an increased rebate to C2 market makers who are NBBO joiners or setters in AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV as these market participants have liquidity in AAPL, QQQ, Offer IWM at more aggressive prices and SLV options. Additionally, the increased flow of orders with additional volume, particularly from liquidity providers, contributes to a deeper and more liquid market, which in turn offers greater opportunities for execution and therefore greater pricing and trading opportunities. As such, it benefits all market participants by contributing to a robust and balanced market ecosystem, providing additional flexibility for all investors to achieve cost savings, supporting high-quality pricing, promoting market transparency and enhancing investor protection. The exchange believes that the proposed change in discount for AAPL, QQQ, IWM and SLV non-market maker and non-client orders is also fair and not unduly discriminatory as it applies to all non-client Non-market makers will apply equally.

    B. Opinion of the self-regulatory organization on the burden of competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impede intra-market or cross-market competition that is not necessary or proportionate to further the purposes of the Act. Rather, as discussed above, the exchange believes that the proposed change would encourage the submission of additional liquidity on SPY to a public exchange, thereby promoting market depth, price discovery and transparency, and improving order execution opportunities for all. As a result, the exchange believes that the proposed change furthers the Commission's goal of enacting the NMS regulation to encourage competition between orders, which will enable "more efficient pricing of individual shares for all types of orders, large and small." , promotes.

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change does not impose a burden on intra-market competition that is not necessary or proportionate to further the purposes of the Act. In particular, the proposed change applies equally to all business license holders in a similar situation. Overall, the proposed change is intended to attract additional public SPY client orders adding liquidity and orders from market makers and non-market makers and non-SPY clients adding liquidity to the exchange. The exchange believes that the new C2 market maker rebate for SPY orders that are NBBO joiners or setters would encourage more aggressive SPY orders to enter the exchange, resulting in tight spreads maintained, which benefits both trading license holders and the discretion of public investors, provide deeper levels of liquidity, increase trading opportunities for other market participants thereby signaling more trading activity, ultimately encourage a more general flow of orders and improve price transparency on the exchange.

    In addition, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change does not impose a burden on competition between markets that is not necessary or proportionate to further the purposes of the Act. As mentioned earlier, the exchange operates in a highly competitive market. Members have multiple alternative trading venues to participate in and control their order flow, including 15 other options exchanges and over-the-counter locations. In addition, the exchange represents a small percentage of the overall market. Based on publicly available information, no options exchange has more than 16% of the market share. Therefore, no exchange has significant pricing power in executing the flow of option orders. In fact, participants can easily submit their applications to other on-exchange and over-the-counter locations if they find the fee levels at those other locations more favorable. In addition, the Commission has repeatedly expressed its preference for competition over regulatory intervention in pricing, products and services in securities markets. In particular, in the NMS Regulation, the Commission emphasized the importance of market forces in determining SRO prices and revenues and also recognized that the current Market Systems Regulation “has been remarkably successful in promoting market competition in its broader form, which is beneficial to investors and Listed companies are most important to investors." The fact that this market is competitive has long been recognized by the courts. InsideNetCoalitionv.Security and Exchange Commission,the DC Circuit stated: “[No one] denies that competition for order flow is 'tough.' 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 As the SEC explained, "[in] the US national market system, buyers and sellers of securities and the brokers who act as their order-routing agents have a wide range of options as to where to send orders for execution." be able to lead." ; [and] "no exchange can afford to take their market share percentages for granted" because "no exchange has a monopoly, regulatory or otherwise, on the execution of brokers' order flow." 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 Consequently, the Exchange does not believe that the proposed rate change is uncompetitive, which is not necessary or proportionate to further the purposes of the Act.

    The Exchange is proposing to amend its Fees and Refunds table (“Fees Table”) to add Tier 1 and Tier 2 qualification requirements and remove Tier 1. The exchange proposes to implement the rule change on February 1, 2021. The proposed rule change is available on the exchange's website atwww.nyse.com,in the main office of the exchange and in the public reference room of the commission.

    II. Statement from the self-regulatory organization on the purpose and legal basis of the proposed rule change

    In its submission to the Commission, the self-regulatory organization included explanations of the purpose and basis of the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The wording of these declarations can be consulted at the places indicated under point IV. The Exchange has prepared summaries of the most important parts of these statements, which are set out in Sections A, B and C below.

    A. Statement from the self-regulatory organization of the purpose and legal basis for the proposed rule change 1. Purpose

    The Exchange is proposing to amend its table of fees and refunds (“Table of Fees”) to amend the requirements for Add Level 1 and 2 and Remove Level 1 qualification.

    The proposed changes respond to the current competitive environment that gives order flow providers the ability to direct liquidity injection and withdrawal orders, creating more incentives for ETP holders to send additional indicated and non-displayed liquidity to the exchange.

    The exchange proposes to implement the rule change on February 1, 2021.

    Current market and competitive environment

    The exchange operates in a highly competitive market. The Commission has repeatedly expressed its preference for competition over regulatory intervention in pricing, products and services in securities markets. In particular, in the NMS Regulation, the Commission emphasized the importance of market forces in determining SRO prices and revenues and also recognized that the current Market Systems Regulation “has been remarkably successful in promoting market competition in its broader form, which is beneficial to investors and Investors care most about listed companies."4

    As the Commission itself acknowledged, the market for NMS share trading services has become "more fragmented and competitive".5 In fact, stock trading is currently spread across 16 exchanges,6 31 alternative trading systems,7 and numerous brokersinternalizers and wholesalers. Based on publicly available information, no exchange has more than 16% of the market.8 Therefore, no exchange has significant pricing power in the execution of the stock order flow. More specifically, the share of the exchange in trading volume with shares in bands A, B and C securities is less than 2%.9

    The exchange believes that the ever-changing market share between exchanges from month to month shows that market participants may change the flow of orders or stop or reduce the use of certain products in response to price changes. While it is not possible to know a company's reason for shifting order flow, the exchange believes that such reason is due to changes in fees on any of the registered exchanges or over-the-counter trading venues to which a company directs order flow . These plans vary from month to month and not all are publicly available. In terms of the flow of non-tradable orders that would provide liquidity on an exchange, ETP holders can choose any of the 16 registered exchanges currently in operation to route this order flow. As a result, competitive forces limit exchange transaction fees and market participants can easily trade on competing venues if they find price levels on those other venues more favourable.

    The exchange uses a "taker-maker" or reverse-fee model to attract orders that offer liquidity at the most competitive prices. In the taker-maker model, offering discounts to obtain (or remove) liquidity increases the likelihood that market participants will send orders to the exchange to fill orders from liquidity providers. This increased order flow from buyers provides an incentive for market participants to place orders that provide liquidity. The exchange generally charges fees for the flow of orders that provide liquidity. These fees are reasonable due to the additional negotiable interest (attracted in part by the exchange discount to remove liquidity) that these order flow providers can trade.

    Proposed rule change

    To respond to this competitive environment, the exchange is proposing the following changes to its fee schedule to provide additional incentives for order flow providers to forward order flows to the exchange for liquidity. As described above, ETP holders with a liquidity supply order flow can choose where to send that order flow.

    Proposed changes to add level 1 and add level 2

    Under the current Adding Tier 1, ETP holders that add liquidity to the exchange in securities priced at $1.00 per share or more and have at least 0.25% or more of the Adding ADV as a percentage of US CADV pay a fee $0.0020 per share to add orders that appear on Tape A, B, and C securities, and $0.0024 per share to add orders that do not appear on Tape A, B, and C securities.

    The exchange is proposing to amend the requirements to qualify for Adding Tier 1 by adopting an alternative eligibility basis for the Adding Tier 1 fee. As proposed, ETP holders would qualify for the current fees if they have at least 0, 25% or more Adding ADV as a percentage of US CADV or at least 30 million shares of Adding ADV. The exchange is not proposing any changes to the addition fee for Tier 1 Addition and the fee for orders adding liquidity to Tier 1 Addition would remain unchanged.

    Likewise, under the current Adding Tier 2 ETP holders who add liquidity to the exchange in securities priced at $1.00 per share or more and which have at least 0.13% or more Adding ADV as a percentage of US CADV, will receive a Fee of $0.0022 per share charged to add orders displayed on band A, B and C securities.

    The exchange is proposing to revise Adding Tier 2 by adopting an alternative qualification base for the tier. As proposed, ETP holders would qualify for the current rebate if they own at least 0.13% or more ADV as a percentage of US CADV, or at least 16 million shares or more Add ADV. The exchange is not proposing any changes to the Addition Fee for Addition Level 2 and the fee for those orders adding liquidity to Addition Level 2 would remain unchanged.

    The exchange believes that introducing alternative criteria for ETP holders to qualify for Add Tier 1 and Add Tier 2 will allow a larger number of ETP holders to potentially qualify for the tier and more ETP holders encouraged to refer their requests to provide liquidity to the exchange in order to qualify for the level. This in turn would support the quality of pricing on the exchange and provide additional price improvement opportunities for incoming orders. The exchange believes that by correlating the fee amount with the size of orders placed by an ETP holder that add liquidity, the exchange's fee structure would incentivize ETP holders to submit more orders that add liquidity to the exchange , thereby increasing the potential price improvement in the entry of market orders submitted to the exchange.

    As mentioned above, the exchange operates in a competitive environment primarily in terms of attracting non-negotiable orders that provide liquidity to the exchange. The exchange doesn't know how much orderflow ETP holders choose to route to other exchanges or over-the-counter locations. Based on the profile of companies adding liquidity across the board, the exchange believes that additional ETP holders may qualify for the differentiated rate under the new eligibility criteria if they choose to manage order flow and listings on the increase stock market. However, without insight into the activity of ETP holders on other exchanges and over-the-counter locations, the exchange has no way of knowing whether this proposed rule change would result in additional ETP holders placing orders with the exchange to qualify for addition Tier 1 and adding Tier 2 fees.

    The exchange is proposing the non-substantive change to exclude "or more" after the amount of Adding ADV as a percentage of the US CADV required to qualify for Adding Tier 1, Adding Tier 2, Adding Tier 4, Adding Tier 4 and Non -Displayed to qualify adding Tier 1. The designation “at least” before the relevant amount of adding ADV in each Tier makes the phrase “or more” after the amount redundant.

    Suggested changes to remove Level 1

    Under the current Level 1 delisting, the exchange is offering a rebate to ETP holders who delist liquidity in securities with a price per share of at least $1.00 and who have a combined add ADV and remove ADV of $0.0030 per share at least 0.18%. as a percentage of US CADV and at least 250,000 adding ADV.

    The exchange is proposing to revise Remondo Level 1 by adopting an alternative qualification basis for the level. As proposed, ETP holders would qualify for the current rebate if they had at least 250,000 Adding ADV and an Adding ADV and Removing ADV of at least (1) 0.18% as a percentage of US CADV or (2) 21.5 million ADV -Own shares. The exchange is not proposing changes to the removal fee for orders removing liquidity that qualify for removal level 1 and the fee for such orders belowTier 1 removal would remain unchanged.

    The exchange believes that providing an alternative way for ETP holders to qualify for the Tier 1 removal of at least 21.5 million ADV shares will allow a larger number of ETP holders to qualify for the to qualify for the tier, and will encourage more ETP holders to forward the flow of liquidity removal requests to the exchange to qualify for the tier. This in turn would support the quality of pricing on the exchange and provide additional price improvement opportunities for incoming orders. As described above, ETP holders with liquidity removal order flow can choose where to send this order flow. The exchange believes that as a result of the proposed Level 1 removal change, more ETP holders will choose to route their liquidity removal order stream to the exchange in order to qualify for the Tier 1 removal credit Removal of liquidity to qualify requirements have been lowered.

    As previously mentioned, the exchange operates in a competitive environment. The exchange doesn't know how much orderflow ETP holders choose to route to other exchanges or over-the-counter locations. Based on the profile of companies adding liquidity across the board, the exchange believes that additional ETP holders may qualify for the differentiated rate under the new eligibility criteria if they choose to manage order flow and listings on the increase stock market. Without visibility into the activity of ETP holders on other exchanges and over-the-counter locations, the exchange has no way of knowing whether this proposed rule change would result in additional ETP holders applying to the exchange to qualify for the removal level 1 fee.

    The proposed changes are not intended to address other issues and the exchange is not aware of any issues that ETP holders may face in complying with the proposed changes.

    2. Legal basis

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,10 generally and furthers the objectives of Sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,11 in particular because it provides for a fair allocation of duties, fees and other reasonable charges among its members, issuers and others who use its facilities and does not unfairly discriminate against clients, issuers, brokers or dealers.

    1015 USC 78f(b).

    1115 USC 78f(b)(4) und (5).

    The proposed change is appropriate

    As explained above, the exchange operates in a highly competitive market. The Commission has repeatedly expressed its preference for competition over regulatory intervention in pricing, products and services in securities markets. In the NMS Regulation, the Commission emphasized the importance of market forces in determining SRO prices and revenues, and also recognized that the current regulation of the market system "has been remarkably successful in encouraging market competition in its broadest forms among investors and listed companies." ."12 While the NMS regulation has increased competition, it has also encouraged a "fragmented" market structure, where trading in a single stock can take place across multiple trading centers. When multiple shopping centers compete for order flow for the same inventory, the Commission recognized that "such competition may result in order flow fragmentation for that inventory".13

    12VerSecurities Exchange Act Release No. 51808 (9 June 2005), 70 FR 37495, 37499 (29 June 2005) (S7-10-04) (Final Rule) ("NMS Regulations").

    13VerSecurities Exchange Act Release No. 61358, 75 FR 3594, 3597 (21 January 2010) (File Number S7-02-10) (Equity Market Structure Concept Release).

    Given the current competitive environment, the exchange believes the proposal is a reasonable attempt to attract additional order flows to the exchange. In particular, the exchange believes that the proposed revisions to add levels 1 and 2 and remove level 1 are appropriate as they would promote execution opportunities for the flow of routing orders from ETP holders to the exchange.

    The exchange believes that the proposal as a whole represents a reasonable attempt to encourage improved pricing and better order execution capabilities for ETP holders. All ETP holders would benefit from an increased volume of liquidity on the exchange, which would represent a wider range of execution opportunities.

    The exchange further believes that the removal of a redundant sentence from Addition Tier 1, Addition Tier 2, Addition Tier 4, Addition Tier 4 and Undisplayed Addition Tier 1 would also make the table of fees and discounts clearer and more transparent.

    The proposal is a fair distribution of fees

    The exchange believes the proposed rule change distributes its fees fairly among its market participants. The proposed change would continue to encourage ETP holders to submit additional liquidity to the exchange and execute orders on the exchange, thereby contributing to stable levels of liquidity for the benefit of all market participants.

    The exchange believes that the amendment to the addition of Tier 1 and 2 and the removal of Tier 1 encourages the submission and removal of additional liquidity from the exchange, thereby reducing order execution opportunities for ETP holders from the significant amounts of liquidity that are available on the stock exchange would increase. Purse. All ETP holders would benefit from the increased liquidity that would be available on the exchange, which would provide greater opportunities for execution.

    The exchange believes that the proposed rule change would also improve market quality for all market participants attempting to remove liquidity from the exchange and would consequently draw more liquidity to the exchange, improving the overall quality of the market. The proposal is not aimed at and will not have a disparate impact on any particular category of market participants.

    In particular, the exchange believes that the proposal represents a fair distribution of fees as all ETP holders in a similar situation and other market participants would be entitled to the same general and tiered fees and the same fees and credits. In addition, the proposed change is fair as the revised fees would apply equally to all ETP holders in a similar situation.

    The proposal is not unjustifiably discriminatory

    The exchange believes that the proposal is not unfairly discriminatory. In the prevailing competitive environment, ETP holders are free to undercut exchange prices if they believe alternatives offer better value.

    Furthermore, the proposal is not aimed at any particular category of market participants and will not have disparate impacts. The exchange believes that the proposal does not allow for unfair discrimination as the proposal would apply to all ETP holders in a similar situation and all ETP holders would be subject to the same modified addition of Levels 1 and 2 and removal of Level 1 . ETP holders who already operate on the exchange would be harmed as a resultthe proposed allocation of fees and credits.

    The exchange further believes that the proposed changes would not allow for unfair discrimination between ETP holders as the difference rates are equally available to all ETP holders. As discussed above, in today's competitive marketplace, order flow providers can choose where to direct their liquidity-providing order flow, and the exchange believes there are other ETP holders who could qualify if they choose to stream their flow of inquiries to the stock exchange .

    Finally, the exchange believes that it faces significant competitive forces, as detailed in the exchange's Statement on Stresses of Competition below.

    For the above reasons, the exchange believes the proposal is in line with the law.

    B. Opinion of the self-regulatory organization on the burden of competition

    Pursuant to Section 6(b)(8) of the Act,14 The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change would not impose a burden on competition that is not necessary or proportionate to further the purposes of the Act. Rather, as discussed above, the exchange believes that the proposed change would encourage the submission of additional liquidity and order flow to a public exchange, thereby increasing order execution opportunities for ETP holders. As a result, the exchange believes that the proposed change furthers the Commission's goal of enacting the NMS regulation to encourage competition between orders, which will enable "more efficient pricing of individual shares for all types of orders, large and small." , promotes.fifteen

    1415 USC 78f(b)(8).

    fifteenNMS Ordinance, 70 FR at 37498-99.

    competition within the market.The proposed change aims to attract additional streams of orders to the exchange. As described above, the exchange believes that the proposed change would provide additional incentives for market participants to submit liquidity supply and withdrawal orders to the exchange. Greater liquidity benefits all market participants on the exchange by providing more trading opportunities and encouraging ETP holders to place orders, contributing to stable levels of liquidity. The proposed revised rates would be available to all market participants in a similar position and therefore the proposed change would not unequally impede competition among market participants on the exchange.

    competition between markets.The exchange operates in a highly competitive market where market participants can easily place their orders on other exchanges and over-the-counter locations if they find the fee levels cheaper at those other locations. In this environment, the exchange must continuously adjust its fees and rebates in order to remain competitive with other exchanges and over-the-counter trading venues. Because competitors are free to change their own rates and credits in response, and because market participants can easily adjust their order-routing practices, the exchange does not believe the proposed rate change would adversely affect competition between markets.

    The Exchange believes that the proposed change may encourage competition between the Exchange and other execution venues, including those currently offering similar order types and comparable transaction prices, by encouraging additional orders to be submitted to the Exchange for execution.

    C. Statement by the self-regulatory organization of comments received from members, participants or others on the proposed rule change

    No written comments were requested or received on the proposed rule change.

    III. Effective date of the proposed rule change and when the Commission will take action

    The previous rule change will become effective upon filing pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A).16 of the Act and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-417 under their terms because it constitutes a liability, fee or other charge imposed by the Exchange.

If the Commission takes such action, the Commission shall initiate a proceeding pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(B).18 of the law to determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or rejected.

    II. Background and description of the proposed rule change

    On August 14, 2020, the Commission approved a proposed rule change to adopt rules for stock trading on the stock exchange and to create a platform for stock trading called MIAX PEARL Equities.6 On August 20, 2020, the exchange filed a regulatory change proposal, effective immediately, to establish an Equity Rights Program (“ERP”),7 whereby the entities holding the right to purchase shares in the exchange's parent company, Miami International Holdings, Inc. (“MIH”), were granted to participating exchange members in exchange for upfront payment of certain exchange fees and receipt of certain liquidity and volume limits for MIAX PEARL shares issued for a period of 42 months.8 In this August 2020 application to implement the ERP, the exchange stated that “[once] a participating member acquires a specified number of [units], the member may appoint a Director to the MIAX PEARL Board [of Directors]”.9 In this filing, the exchange proposes to amend its statutes to ensure the rights of such exchange members10 Participate in the ERP to nominate or appoint a representative to the MIAX PEARL Board of Directors (“PEARL Board” or “Board”) and make other changes, including certain non-material changes.11

    The Exchange proposes to amend Article II, Section 2.4(a) of its Articles of Association to permit the Nominating Committee to nominate for the positions of directors of the ERP only those persons whose names have been approved and submitted by the relevant ERP members with the right appoint that person in accordance with Article II, Section 2.2.18 If an ERP member can nominate an ERP Director but cannot do so because the ERP member is already represented on the PEARL Council, for example,for example.,as director representative of the partner,19 the ERP member has the right to appoint an observer instead of appointing the ERP director.20

    In addition, MIAX PEARL proposes to amend the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation which currently provide for the removal and resignation of directors and the filling of vacancies with ERP directors. The Exchange proposes to adopt paragraph (c) pursuant to Article II, Section 2.8 to provide that when a position of ERP Director becomes vacant for reasons other than failure of an ERP Member to meet its performance criteria, as discussed above the relevant ERP member will retain the ability to nominate an individual to fill the vacant position of ERP Director.30 The Exchange also proposes to amend Article II, Section 2.9(a) to provide that directors may be removed from ERP only for cause including, without limitation, such director being subject to statutory disqualification.31 If at any time such ERP Member is in a position to appoint an ERP Director but is unable to fill that position because such ERP Member already has a representative on the Board, such ERP Member shall be entitled to appoint such Director to be appointed pursuant to Article II, Section 2.2(e), as amended, upon the resignation or removal of such Director who has previously served on the Board.32

    III. Committee discussion and conclusions

    After careful consideration, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the law,33 and the rules and regulations applicable to a national exchange.34 In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(1) and (3) of the Act,35 which requires, among other things, that the Exchange be organized and able to carry out the purposes of the Act and to comply with the provisions of the Act, its Rules and Regulations and the Rules and to enforce through its members and persons associated with the Purse; and ensuring fair representation of its members in selecting their directors and managing their affairs and providing that one or more directors must be representatives of issuers and investors and need not be affiliated with a stock exchange member, broker or dealer.

    A. Addition of ERP Directors and Related Provisions

    The Committee believes that the Exchange's proposal to amend the Articles of Association to include ERP directors on the PEARL Councilincluding related amendments to add various definitions and provisions for terms of office, appointment and election, filling of vacancies, and removal and resignation are consistent with the law.36 The Commission believes that although the board could increase if the ERP directors are added, the composition was previously approved by the Commission in the context of registering MIAX PEARL as a national stock exchange37 will remain the same.38 ERP directors become industry directors,39 and the board will continue to consist of a number of non-industrial directors,40 including at least one independent director,41 equal to or greater than the sum of the number of Industry Directors and Member Representative Directors.42 The number of Member Representative Directors does not include the ERP Directors and will continue to represent at least 20% of the PEARL Council.43 In addition, the process of nominating and electing the Partners' Directors Representatives will not be impacted by the Exchange's proposal.44 Consequently, the Commission finds that the provisions reflecting the possible appointment of ERP directors to the PEARL Council are consistent with the Act and in particular Section 6(b)(3) of the Act,45 to the extent that the Articles of Association will continue to provide for fair representation of members in the selection of the directors and management of MIAX PEARL as well as representation of issuers and investors.

    The Commission also notes that the ERP Directors are subject to the same duties and responsibilities as any other member of the PEARL Board, including provisions designed to help maintain independence from the exchange's regulatory functions and the capability of MIAX PEARL facilitate compliance, take responsibility and act in accordance with the law.46 For example, the directors of ERP are subject to the provisions of the Articles of Association which require the Board of PEARL, in connection with the conduct of the business and affairs of MIAX PEARL, to consider the applicable requirements under Section 6(b) of the Conflicts Act of interest; require the PEARL Board to consider MIAX PEARL's status as a self-regulatory organization (“SRO”) when evaluating a proposal; and to protect the confidentiality of information and records related to the exchange's SRO function.47 In this regard, the Commission notes that the provisions reflecting the appointment of ERP directors to the PEARL Council are consistent with the law and in particular Section 6(b)(1) which requires a fellowship to be organized in this way will have form and ability to accomplish the purposes of the law.48

    B. Addition of observer positions and related provisions

    The Commission considers that proposed amendments to the Articles of Incorporation adding provisions on the appointment of Observers, including related amendments adding various definitions and provisions for appointment and term of office, are consistent with the law.49 The Commission also considers that the proposed changes, which regulate the rights and obligations of observers, are compatible with the law. The Commission considers that observers generally have the right to attend all board meetings and to receive materials made available to directors,50 they shall be entitled to attend such meetings only, without the right to vote, and agree to keep such information confidential and to act in a fiduciary relationship with respect to such information.51 In addition, the Exchange states that Observers are subject to the same requirements as Board Members to maintain the confidentiality of all of the Exchange's books and records reflecting confidential information relating to the Exchange's SRO function.52 The Exchange also reserves the right to withhold any information from an Observer and to exclude an Observer from any meeting or part thereof which, among other things, could lead to the disclosure of business secrets or conflicts of interest.53 The Commission considers that these limitations and obligations of observers are consistent with the law, particularly section 6(b)(1).54 to the extent that they are intended to ensure that MIAX PEARL remains organized in such a way that it is able to carry out the purposes of the law.

The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments from interested parties on the proposed rule change.

    115 USC 78s(b)(1).

    217 CFR 240.19b-4.

    I. Statement by the Clearing House on the Key Terms of the Proposed Rule Change

    The primary objective of the proposed changes is for ICE Clear Europe to amend its Disciplinary Price Reporting Framework (renamed “Disciplinary Price Reporting Procedure”, referred to herein as the “Procedure”) to include the review period for the Clearing House when investigating defaults to update prize submissions, Clearing Members shall grant a one-time annual waiver in respect of instances where a Clearing Member has failed to submit in a timely manner submissions for which it holds an outstanding interest that has been cleared with the Clearinghouse (a "Lost Submission "). ICE Clear Europe also proposes to amend the governance and exception handling provisions to align with other clearing house procedures, remove unnecessary appendices and make certain other updates and clarifications as discussed herein.

    II. Statement by the Clearing House on the Purpose and Legal Basis of the Proposed Rule Change

    In its submission to the Commission, ICE Clear Europe included explanations of the purpose and basis of the proposed rule change and discussed any comments received on the proposed rule change. The wording of these declarations can be consulted at the places indicated under point IV. ICE Clear Europe has prepared summaries of the most important aspects of these statements, which are set out in Sections (A), (B) and (C) below.

    (A) Clearinghouse's statement of the purpose and legal basis of the proposed rule change (a suggestion

    ICE Clear Europe proposes to amend its disciplinary price submission process to: (i) remove the description of the end-of-day pricing process as unnecessary as it is included in the existing CDS of the end-of-day pricing policy; (ii) update the lost shipments process to provide that (a) a Clearing Member may receive a product class waiver for a lost shipment in a calendar year in lieu of a waiver during the Term of the Clearing Member, and ( b) the Clearing House shall have five additional days to consider a Clearing Member's response to an initial Rule 1002(b) Investigation Notice before sending the subsequent Rule 1002(f) Attention Notice; (iii) update the governance and exception handling provisions; and (iv) make various clarifications and wording improvements.

    General wording clarifications and improvements

    For clarification and general improvement of the wording, the title of the document would change from “Disciplinary Procedure for the Submission of Awards” to “Disciplinary Procedure for the Submission of Awards”. The former Section 2.2 (End of Day Pricing Process) and Appendix A would be removed as these matters are addressed in the existing CDS End of Day Pricing Policy (the “Policy”) and Section 2.3 would be renumbered as 2.2. A cross-reference to the Directive is added to Section 1.1. For the sake of readability, the term “CDS Clearing Member” will be abbreviated to “CM” throughout the Proceedings and various terms will be abbreviated or reworded, changing [sic] their actual meaning. References to CDX products would be replaced by references to CDX indices, a more accurate term. A reference to Markit Group Limited would be updated to the current name IHS Markit.

    Disciplinary Procedures for Sending Prizes

    The stated purpose of the procedure would be simplified and clarified to provide that the document outlines the procedure to be followed internally by ICE Clear Europe when taking disciplinary action in relation to price submissions. The statement that spread submissions are counted as lost submissions would be replaced with a statement that submissions do not conform to the format described in Section 2.2.3 of the End-of-Day Price Discovery Policy, which requires that the Index following market conventions, prices are provided as spreads and whether midpoint or bid are counted as lost shipments. The description of the legal basis would be amended to include a cross-reference to rule 503g) instead of redrafting the text of rule 503g).

    Incentives for award submissions

    In this section a cross-reference to the deleted section 2.2 would be removed. Certain non-factual clarifications would be made for the discussion of obvious errors.

    Fixed monetary valuations for lost shipments

    The changes would provide that a CM receiving an investigation notice regarding a supposedly lost submission would have five days to submit written comments. The amendments would give the clearing house an additional five days to consider the clearing broker's comments before sending a Rule 1002(f) injunction. Such a change would improve the process by allowing the clearing member to respond to the original notice and giving the clearing house time to evaluate the clearing member's response before deciding whether to take further action pursuant to should be taken according to the rules.

    The changes would also change the waiver process for lost submissions (if a waiver is granted, the lost submission would not be subject to review). Rather than a Clearing Member receiving a lost shipment exemption throughout its Clearing Membership, a Clearing Member would be entitled to a calendar year lost shipment exemption for single name products and a calendar year lost shipment exemption for index products. Waivers would be limited to lost submissions caused by technical failures. Clearing Members would be required to provide an appropriate written explanation of the technical error and a summary of the corrective actions planned. Only the first instance of a lost shipment for the product category in a calendar year is eligible for an exemption.

    After the expiration of the period of ten days from the issuance of a notice of attention in relation to aSubmission where a valuation amount would be calculated would issue a cash valuation notice calculated according to the cash valuation calculation details provided in the procedure.

    The amendments would also clarify the procedures by which a Clearing Member may claim that one or more lost submissions resulted from exceptional circumstances beyond its control, including the provision that the Head of Regulation and Compliance determines: whether such circumstances exist.

    Based on its experience with lost submissions, ICE Clear Europe believes that the revised approach to waivers strikes a better balance than the current one between the need for robust submissions under the policy and the goal of not unnecessarily penalizing clearing members for technical errors Individual Waiver .

    Document governance and exception handling

    The changes would include details on how the procedure controls and handles exceptions. In particular, the procedure would specify that the document owner is responsible for ensuring that the procedure remains current and is reviewed in accordance with the clearinghouse's governance processes. The process would further provide that the document owner must report material violations or unapproved deviations from the process to the document owner's manager, the chief risk officer and the chief compliance officer (or their deputies), who together decide whether an additional escalation is required . Ultimately, exceptions to the procedure would be approved in accordance with the House governance process for procedure. The approach to governance and exception handling is consistent with other ICE Clear Europe practices.

    (b) Legal Basis

    ICE Clear Europe believes that the proposed changes to the disciplinary procedure for submitting prizes are consistent with the requirements of Section 17A of the Act3 and the applicable regulations. Specifically, Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act4 requires, among other things, that a clearing house's rules be designed to promote the prompt and accurate settlement and settlement of securities transactions and, to the extent applicable, agreements, contracts and derivative transactions, the safeguarding of securities and funds in the custody or control of or accountable for the clearing house and the protection of investors and the public interest.

    315 USC 78q-1.

    415 USC 78q-1(b)(3)(F).

    The proposed changes to the Disciplinary Procedure for Price Submissions are intended to strengthen ICE Clear Europe's disciplinary arrangements and procedures for dealing with lost submissions by Clearing Members and the related disciplinary procedures. The changes provide an opportunity for the clearing member that has received an investigation notice to comment and for the clearing house to review those comments before disciplinary action is initiated. The changes would also improve the clearinghouse's ability to grant a limited number of waivers for shipments lost due to technical errors, from one waiver across the clearing association to one waiver per product class in a calendar year. The other clarifications and proposed changes to the procedure improve readability and ensure that the procedure remains clear and up-to-date. Therefore, ICE Clear Europe believes the changes will improve the overall daily price submission process and the quality of submissions, which in turn will support clearing house stability and prompt and accurate settlement of clearing and settlement contracts. Improved risk management is therefore fundamentally consistent with investor protection and the public interest in the safe operation of the clearing house. (ICE Clear Europe does not anticipate that the changes will adversely affect the protection of securities and monies held or controlled by or for which ICE Clear Europe is responsible.) Accordingly, the changes meet the requirements of Section 17A(b)( 3) (F).5

    515 USC 78q-1(b)(3)(F).

    In addition, ICE Clear Europe believes that the amended process, like the current structure, would provide a reasonable set of cash valuations for lost shipments and waivers, as would the current structure, given the importance of end-of-day price communications to asset management. The procedure therefore complies with the requirements of Section 17A(b)(3)(G) of the Act.6 The changes also improve procedures for investing [sic] potential missed submissions and for clearing members to submit comments on investigations. ICE Clear Europe believes that this aspect of the process meets the requirements of Section 17A(b)(3)(H) of the Act.7

    615 USC 78q-1(b)(3)(G).

    715 USC 78q-1(b)(3)(H).

    In addition, ICE Clear Europe believes that the amendments comply with Rule 17Ad-22(e)(3)(i),8 which requires the Covered Clearing House to maintain a strong risk management framework to comprehensively manage legal, credit, liquidity, operational, general business, investment, custodial and other risks incurred or borne by the Covered Clearing House , including risk management policies and procedures and systems for identifying, measuring, monitoring and managing the range of risks arising from or borne by the Covered Clearing House. The proposed changes are intended to strengthen the end-of-day price discovery process by clarifying the disciplinary procedures for lost shipments and the waiver process. The inclusion of an opportunity for the clearing member's response to an initial investigation notice and an opportunity for the clearinghouse to verify the response ensures that the clearinghouse has sufficient time and information to process the clearing member's formal response to an investigation Submission to assess whether further action is to be taken under the Rules. ICE Clear Europe believes that the changes to the procedure are therefore consistent with the requirements of Rule 17Ad-22(e)(3)(i).9

    Rule 17Ad-22(e)(2)10 Requires that clearinghouses put in place appropriately designed policies and procedures to ensure clear and transparent governance arrangements and to establish clear and uncomplicated responsibilities. The proposed changes to the procedure define the roles and responsibilities of the document owner, department head, chief risk officer and chief compliance officer (or their deputies) in line with the governance arrangement for other ICE Klar Europa policies and procedures. ICE Clear Europe believes that the changes to the procedure are therefore consistent with the requirements of Rule 17Ad-22(e)(2).11

    (B) Clearing House Statement on Burden of Competition

    ICE Clear Europe does not believe that the proposed changes will create any competitive effect or burden that is not necessary or proportionate to further the purposes of the Act. The changes are adopted to update and clarify the disciplinary price submission process and would apply equally to all CDS Clearing Members. As a result, ICE Clear Europe does not expect that the proposed changes will impact clearing access or the ability of clearing members, their customers or other market participants to continue to clear contracts. ICE Clear Europe also does not believe that the changes would materially affect clearing costs or affect competition between clearing members or other market participants, or limit market participants' choices in the selection of clearing services. Consequently, ICE Clear Europe does not believe that amendments that are not necessary or proportionate to achieve the objective of the Act would be uncompetitive.

    (C) Clearing House explanation of comments received from Members, Participants or others on the proposed rule change

    Written comments on the proposed changes have not been requested or received by ICE Clear Europe. ICE Clear Europe will inform the Commission of any written comments received on the proposed rule change.

    III. Effective date of the proposed rule change and when the Commission will take action

    Within 45 days of the date of publication of this notice in theFederal registrationor within a longer period of up to 90 days, (i) as the Commission may determine if it deems such longer period appropriate and will make public its reasons for doing so, or (ii) with the consent of the self-regulatory organisation, the Commission will:

    II. Description of the proposal as amended by amendments 1 and 2

    The Exchange proposes to bid orders for SPX nominated market maker accounts for the initial order submitted for execution against an agency order in SPX options in a simple AIM auction under Rule 5.37 or in a simple FLEX AIM auction under Rule 5.73 place.12 Currently, the introductory paragraphs of Rules 5.37 and 5.73 prohibit orders for market maker accounts named in the relevant class from being requested to be executed against the agency's order in the simple AIM auction and FLEX-AIM respectively. The exchange claims that no similar restrictions apply to cross-trading on the Open Outcry Floor, where a significant portion of SPX options are traded.13 The exchange states that brokers looking for liquidity to fill client orders on the floor regularly ask certain SPX market makers for that liquidity, as they are generally the primary source of price and liquidity for these options.14

    12The Initial Order is the composite order of principal interest or solicited order(s) submitted to trade against the order submitted by the trading authorization holder (the “Initiator TPH” or the “Initiator FLEX Trader”, as the case may be). as an agent (of the contract agency). The Exchange reports that AIM is not enabled for SPX options even though FLEX AIM is enabled for FLEX SPX options.Vermarriage #1,AboveNote 4, Em 4 & Nr. 2.

    The exchange informs that during the period it suspended live outcry trading to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus and switched to trading in a fully electronic configuration, it has activated AIM for SPX options and a has adopted temporary rule change to allow market makers to be required to trade their only listed index options (including SPX options) electronically when the trading floor is not operational.fifteen According to the exchange, although AIM has been enabled for SPX options, the exchange has identified price improvement benefits in AIM auctions for retail and smaller SPX options.16 Although the exchange has deactivated the AIM options for SPX with the reopening of its trading session, the exchange also informs that it deems it appropriate to allow orders to a specific market maker's account should it decide to disable the AIM options for SPX to be reactivated by SPX as a counter-order as the exchange believes that the liquidity provided by SPX market makers is necessary for brokers to initiate AIM auctions and create potential price improvement opportunities for these retail format orders.17 The exchange also states that with additional market participants available to represent initial orders, increased competition may encourage those participants to offer more aggressive prices to initiate an auction on the SPX.18

    The exchange further notes that many market makers in multi-list classes act as named market makers on the exchange and as market makers on other options exchanges and therefore may use their external market maker accounts to be requested as a counter order for AIM Auctions.19 The exchange provides data from April 2020 showing that approximately 99.6% of orders placed in all AIM auctions had initial orders consisting of orders to remote market maker accounts, accounting for approximately 86.2% of the in equal to the volume executed by AIM auctions.20

    However, because SPX is an exchange-only listed class, according to the exchange, a company cannot act as an SPX market maker on another options exchange.21 The exchange states that there are currently 28 trading permit holders with SPX commitments that would be available to participate in AIM auctions through counter orders and auction responses.22 The exchange provides data showing that in April and May 2020, when initial orders could consist of orders to SPX market maker accounts under a temporary rule, approximately 22% of initial orders executed in SPX AIM auctions consisted of orders to the SPX makers passed the market, representing approximately 45% of the executed SPX volume in the AIM auctions.23 Exchange data also shows that in April and May 2020, while approximately 76% of initial orders filled in SPX-AIM auctions were orders to remote market maker accounts, these orders represented only approximately 5% of SPX volume executed through AIM auctions .24 Exchange data also shows that in April and May 2020, SPX market makers executed approximately 31% of SPX volume executed through AIM auctions with auction responses.25

    The exchange also states that SPX market makers often act as counterparties for cross trades on the floor and the proposed rule change will further align AIM auctions with SPX cross executions that take place on the floor. For example, according to the exchange, as of February 2020, about 76% of SPX cross orders on the floor (consisting of 2,944,161 contracts) contained an order from an SPXMarket maker on one side of the transaction.26

    26See ID.an 8.

    Regarding FLEX AIM, the exchange states that unlike plain non-FLEX markets, FLEX market makers are not required to provide liquidity for FLEX classes and that there is no book in which FLEX market makers quotes can leave for recreation. According to the exchange, therefore, designated market makers in FLEX markets are on an equal footing with all other market participants in relation to FLEX-AIM auctions and allow FLEX market makers to be solicited, since the opposite order in a FLEX-AIM auction would provide for everything Market participants the ability to provide liquidity to execute agency orders in FLEX AIM auctions in the same way (This is,through requests and answers).27

    27See ID.a 9.

    The exchange also proposes to amend Rules 5.37(c)(5) and 5.73(c)(5) to codify that any user or FLEX trader, respectively, except the TPH initiator or FLEX trader, responds to AIM and can send FLEX AIM auctions. The exchange also suggests specifying that the system rejects a response with the same EFID as the original request.28 The exchange states that if the same user submits a response to an auction where the same user has an order that includes the original order (even with a different EFID), the exchange will subject the exchange to regulatory action for violating the proposed rule can take against this user .29 In addition, with respect to possible misuse of non-public information by an SPX market maker in connection with an upcoming SPX AIM auction, the exchange states that it has rules in place that provide a pattern or practice for submitting orders or ban listings for the purpose of interfering with or manipulating AIM auctions and requiring trading license holders to establish, maintain and enforce written policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent misuse of material non-public information.30

    28VerRule 1.1 (Definition of EFID as “Executing Company ID”). The Exchange informs that although the system can only reject responses with the same EFID as the initiating request, the rule disallows all responses from the same user that is the initiating request, even if the requests from the same user have different EFIDs.Vermarriage #1,AboveGrade 4 out of 10.

    III. Committee discussion and conclusions

    The Commission considers that the proposed rule change, as amended by Amendments Nos 1 and 2, is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations applicable to a national exchange.31 In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change, as amended by Amendments Nos. 1 and 2, is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,32 which requires, among other things, that the rules of a national stock exchange be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, promote fair and equitable trading principles, remove barriers and improve the mechanism of a free and open market, and protect a national market system in general Investors and the public interest. The Commission also notes that the proposed rule change, as amended by Amendments Nos. 1 and 2, is consistent with Section 6(b)(8) of the Act,33 which requires that the rules of a national stock exchange do not impose burdens on competition that are not necessary or proportionate to achieve the objectives of the law.

    31In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission considered the impact of the proposed rule on efficiency, competition and capital formation.Ver15 USC 78c(f).

    3215 USC 78f(b)(5).

    3315 USC 78f(b)(8).

    As described above, the exchange is proposing to allow applications for market maker accounts scheduled in SPX to be made for an initial application submitted for execution against an agency application in SPX options in AIM auctions. In support of its proposal, the exchange claims that brokers looking for liquidity to fill against client orders on the floor regularly solicit certain SPX market makers for such liquidity, as they are generally the primary source of price and liquidity for these options. Consequently, the exchange believes that the liquidity provided by SPX market makers is necessary for brokers to initiate AIM auctions and would create potential price improvement opportunities for retail orders on the SPX. As summarized in more detail above, the exchange collected data during the period when open outcry trading was temporarily suspended and SPX options were traded in AIM auctions while trading was closed. The data shows that significant price improvement opportunities for retail orders have emerged during this period.

    Two commenters agreed with Cboe that the proposal would increase liquidity for AIM auctions, thereby increasing execution opportunities and price improvements for retail investors.34 One such commentator argued that lifting the ban on appointing market makers would remove a bias against market makers that unduly reduces liquidity for client orders.35 Commentators also supported the proposal because it would more closely align the execution and price improvement capabilities of electronic cross auctions with those of open outcry auctions, where there is no ban on similar requests.36

The SIG letter and SIFMA letter commented on the original Cboe proposal, which would have applied the proposed rule change to all classes, not just SPX.

    36Verletter from SIFMA,AboveNote 34, at 3; gis Chart,AboveAnm. 34, in 2.

    After careful consideration, the Commission considers that the proposal has been adequately designed to protect investors and the public interest. Data provided by the exchange supports the exchange's conclusion that the offering may provide additional execution and price enhancement opportunities for client orders on SPX options submitted through the exchange's AIM auctions. As described above, the exchange provided data demonstrating the participation of market makers in SPX AIM auctions in April and May 2020, the temporary period during which SPX market makers were allowed to be solicited in AIM auctions, contrary to agency rules.37 The Commission believes that exchange data shows that SPX market makers accounted for a significant portion of SPX AIM volume during this period, both as initial orders and through auction responses. Consequently, the exchange data supports the finding that the permanent permission to initiate orders from SPX market makers should increase the number of AIM auctions and consequently allow a larger number of agency orders to improve the price. For example, an AIM agency order for fewer than 50 contracts has a guaranteed price improvement of at least one minimum increment better than the then-current National Best Bid or National Best Bid.38

    38Vermarriage #1,AboveGrade 4 out of 8.

    The Commission is also of the opinion that the proposed rule change will not impede competition, which is neither necessary nor proportionateFulfillment of the purposes of the law. SPX market makers often appear as cross-trading counterparties on the trading floor. For example, in February 2020 (when trading was open), approximately 76% of the SPX cross-orders at trade (consisting of 2,944,161 contracts) contained an order from an SPX market maker on one side of the trade.39 Cboe claims that this shows the importance of designated SPX market makers to provide liquidity in the SPX market in relation to cross trades, whose liquidity would not be available to make cross electron trades under the current AIM rule initiate.40 Therefore, the proposed rule change will further align live outcry and electronic crossover auctions in SPX and provide execution and price improvement opportunities in both auctions, requiring all market participants, not just Cboe Market Maker SPX, to participate in AIM trades.

    39Vermarriage #1,AboveGrade 4 out of 8.

    40See ID.

    As exchange rules no longer limit the number of participants who can respond to AIM auctions,41 There are a number of nominated SPX Market Makers on the exchange who would remain authorized to provide competitive responses to AIM auctions.42 According to the exchange, there are currently 28 trading license holders with SPX obligations that would be available to participate in AIM auctions through counter orders and auction responses.43 In addition, the proposal would allow a larger number of participants to provide the necessary consideration to initiate a competitive AIM auction, particularly in a class exclusively listed as SPX, where remote market makers are unavailable for such participation are. Exchange data showed that SPX market makers have meanwhile executed approximately 31% of the SPX volume executed through AIM auctions with auction responses.44

    The agencies propose a three-year extension with revision of the call reports FFIEC 031, FFIEC 041 and FFIEC 051.

    Report title:Consolidated situation and income reports.

    Form number:FFIEC 031 (Consolidated status and earnings reports for a bank with domestic and foreign branches), FFIEC 041 (Consolidated status and earnings reportsIncome for a Bank with Domestic Offices Only) und FFIEC 051 (Consolided Condition and Income Reports for a Bank with in Inland Offices Only and Total Assets Less Than $5 Mrd.).

    Response frequency:Quarterly.

    Affected public:Business or other for-profit purposes.

    Rating type:Review and expansion of currently approved collections.

    OMB Control Number:1557-0081.

    Estimated number of respondents:1,111 state banks and federal savings banks.

    Estimated average load per answer:41.92 charging hours per quarter to archive.

    Estimated total annual fee:186,292 charging hours for archiving.

    Quadro

    OMB Control Number:7100-0036.

    Estimated number of respondents:739 state member banks.

    Estimated average load per answer:45.40 charging hours per quarter to archive.

    Estimated total annual fee:134,202 charging hours for archiving.

    FDIC

    OMB Control Number:3064-0052.

    Estimated number of respondents:3,263 non-affiliated state banks and state savings banks.

    Estimated average load per answer:39.96 loading hours per quarter for archiving.

    Estimated total annual fee:521,558 charging hours for archiving.

    The estimated average charging hours reflect the total estimates for the FFIEC 031, FFIEC 041 and FFIEC 051 reports for each agency. When estimates are calculated by report type for all agencies, the estimated average workload per quarter is 85.81 (FFIEC 031), 55.20 (FFIEC 041), and 35.27 (FFIEC 051). The Agencies are of the opinion that the change in assessment date of the total assets thresholds used to determine the additional reporting requirements for the 2021 reporting days only described in this notice will not result in a change to the currently OMB approved encumbrance estimates. These estimates do not include any increases in encumbrance for the reporting dates in 2021 that would result from institutions growing above the call report asset limits, as these institutions would now be exempt from the cap. Instead, agencies regularly review their exposure estimates based on data items regularly populated by institutions. Therefore, the estimated charges for these reports would remain unchanged once these reviews were completed. The estimated effort per response for the submission of quarterly call reports is an average that varies by agency due to differences in the composition of institutions under each agency's oversight (for example.,size distribution of the institutions, types of activities in which they are engaged and presence of overseas offices).

    Rating type:Extension and revision of currently approved collections.

    Legal basis and need for collection

    Collection of call report information is mandatory: 12 U.S.C. 161 (national banks), 12 U.S.C. 324 (state member banks), 12 U.S.C. 1817 (commercial and savings banks not members of the insured state) and 12 U.S.C. 1464 (federal and state savings banks). With the exception of selected data and texts, these information collections are currently not treated confidentially.

    Banks and thrifts send call report data to agencies on a quarterly basis to enable the agencies to monitor the health, performance and risk profile of individual institutions and the industry as a whole. Call reporting data serves a regulatory or public purpose and assists government agencies in fulfilling their collective responsibilities of ensuring the safety and soundness of financial institutions and the financial system and protecting the financial rights of consumers, and certain mission agencies affecting national and state governments. accredited institutions, such as conducting monetary policy, ensuring financial stability, and administering federal deposit insurance. Call reports are the source of the most up-to-date statistical data available to identify areas of focus for onsite and offsite audits. Among other purposes, agencies use Call Report data in evaluating corporate applications from institutions, including applications for interstate mergers and acquisitions, for which agencies are required by law to determine whether the resulting institution would control more than 10% of total institutions in the United States states. Call Report data is also used to calculate institutions' deposit insurance ratings and semi-annual rating rates for national banks and federal savings banks.

    II. Current Promotions a background

    On November 30, 2020, the agencies proposed revisions to the call reports1 to implement its final Interim Asset Size Limit (IFR) rule.2 IFR-adjusted balance sheet metrics for eligibility to use the FFIEC 051 call report3 and the Community Bank Leverage Ratio (CBLR) framework for measuring regulatory capital.4 In addition to addressing these regulatory changes, the agencies have proposed revisions to the call report to allow an institution reporting the lower of the total assets threshold specified in its call report on December 31, 2019 or 30 to include certain additional data items in its call reports for the reporting data of the calendar year 2021.

    285 FR 77345 (December 2, 2020).

    3Ver12 CFR 52.2 (OCC); 12 CFR 208.121 (Rat); 12 CFR 304.12 (FDIC).

    4Ver12 CFR 3.12 (OCC); 12 CFR 217.12 (Rat); 12 CFR 324.12 (FDIC).

    The comment period for the November 2020 communication ended on January 29, 2021.

    B. Comments received on proposed revisions to call reports

    The agencies received feedback from a trade association on these proposed call reporting revisions. While the commenter supported temporarily changing the measurement date for certain call reporting thresholds, the commenter called on the authorities to increase the eligibility threshold for filing FFIEC 051 from $5 billion to $10 billion in total assets.

    Agencies have issued rules specifying eligibility criteria for using the FFIEC 051 Call Report.5 The current FFIEC 051 Call Report Instructions allow an institution to submit the FFIEC 051 Call Report if it meets certain criteria consistent with these rules. A criterion consistent with Section 205 of theEconomic growth, regulatory relief and consumer protection law,is that when assessing eligibility to use the FFIEC 051 call report for calendar year 2021 reporting data, an institution must have total consolidated assets less than $5 billion as of June 30, 2020 in its call report in 2020, which partly due to their participation in various relief programs related to the 2019 coronavirus disease, the authorities issued an IFR to temporarily adjust total assetsMeasurement data for the suitability of the FFIEC 051 Call Report,6 and agencies proposed changes according to the instructions in the call report. However, the IFR did not change the eligibility criteria of FFIEC 051 for total consolidated assets of less than US$5 billion, which are included in the definition of the covered depository institution rule. The agencies intend that the call report instructions will be consistent with the standard's definition of covered depositary institutions.

    5See definition of covered depositary institutions. 12 CFR 52.2 (OCC); 12 CFR 208.121 (Board of Directors); 12 CFR 304.12 (FDIC).

    6An institution must still meet the other eligibility criteria for FFIEC 051 in the Call Report instructions.

    In addition to the comments received on the proposed Call Report revisions, the agencies received comments on their IFRs. In order to implement the IFR-related reporting changes, which are due to come into effect on March 31, 2021, the agencies are required to publish this notice before they complete the review of the comments on the IFR. Therefore, if potential changes to the IFR affect the call report, the agencies will publish any related revisions to the call report through the standard PRA process for comment, as appropriate.

    After reviewing the comments, the agencies are moving forward with proposed changes to call reports.

    The agencies also received a request from a call reporting software vendor for clarification on the total assets reported and used in calculations related to certain eligibility criteria for CBLR. In general, call report instructions instruct an institution to report total assets in accordance with Annex RC, Item 12, Annex RC-R, Part I, Item 32, “Total Assets” and to use this total asset value for further calculations in Annex RC-R , Part I. An institution that is eligible and has elected to use the CBLR framework under the agencies' IFRs would, as of 31 December 2019 or from the current quarterly reporting, be the lesser of its reported in Appendix RC, item 12 Total assets report date in Annex RC-R, Part I, item 32. However, the agencies clarify that as of the current quarter-end reporting date, when reporting additional eligibility criteria, an institution must continue to use its total assets as reported in Annex RC, item 12 for the CBLR framework,This is,the sum of trading assets and trading liabilities as a percentage of total assets in Schedule RC-R, Item 33, Column B, and total off-balance sheet exposures as a percentage of total assets in Schedule RC-R, Part I, Item 34.d, Column B.

    III. Timed coordination

    As indicated in the November 2020 announcement, the agencies are proposing to allow an institution to use the lesser of the consolidated assets reported in its call report as of December 31, 2019 or June 30, 2020 when determining its eligibility to submit the FFIEC 051 call to use Report and whether the institution has exceeded a total assets threshold that requires the reporting of certain additional data elements in its call reports (FFIEC 031, FFIEC 041 or FFIEC 051, as the case may be) for reporting data in calendar year 2021. The agencies are proposing this relief for calendar year 2021 only.

    In addition, for reporting dates subsequent to the effective date of the Agency's Asset Limit Rule through December 31, 2021, institutions that elect to use the CBLR framework would use the CBLR information in the Call Report Schedule RC-R, Part I, as reflected in, report the Call Report Instruction Book, except that item 32 (Total Assets) of this Appendix reflects the lower of the value of the institution's total assets as of December 31, 2019 or the date of the current quarterly report and other eligibility criteria set forth therein must Timeline based on percentages of total assets must use total assets as of the reporting date to the current quarter end.

    Title:Study of Nutrition and Activity in Childcare Environments II (SNACS-II).

    Form number:N / D.

    WBO Number:Not yet taken.

    expiry date:Not decided yet.

    Kind of request:New collection.

    Abstract:The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), administered by the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), reimburses nutritious meals and snacks for eligible children enrolled in participating child care programs. Reimbursable meals and snacks must meet the requirements of the CACFP Meal Standard.

    The SNACS-II is the second comprehensive, nationally representative assessment of CACFP providers and the infants, children, and adolescents they serve. The image of the CACFP will be updated following the October 2017 effective date of the updated Meal Standard Requirements. Under the updated requirements, CACFP meals and snacks must include a greater variety of fruits and vegetables, more whole grains, and less added sugar and saturated fat. The updated requirements are also intended to encourage breastfeeding.

    The SNACS-II will collect data in program year 2022-2023 to achieve eight general objectives: (1) characteristics of the CACFP provider, (2) nutritional quality of the food offered, (3) food intake of children, (4) physical activity of children and household characteristics, (5) wasting of CACFP meals, (6) adolescent physical activity and household characteristics, (7) infant food intake and physical activity during care, and (8) the cost of preparing meals and CACFP snacks . SNACS-II will largely replicate the methods used in the first study of diet and activity in childcare settings, as comparing key outcomes at the two time points is an important focus of the study. SNACS-II will collect data from nationally representative samples of CACFP providers, including family day care, day care, head-start centers, at-risk after-school centers, and after-school day care; babies, children and adolescents; and parents/guardians. In order to answer the series of research questions under the eight study objectives, the data collection activities to be conducted pursuant to this announcement include the following:

    • The Provider Environment Survey and Monitoring Form is used to describe the characteristics of CACFP providers.

    • The menu survey is used to assess the nutritional quality of the food on offer.

    • The Meal Observation Handout and Self-Applied 24-Hour Food Recall (ASA24) handout is used to describe children's food intake.

    • The parent interview and height and weight form collect data on children's physical activity and family characteristics.

    • The Eating Experiences and Physical Activity Survey and Teen Parent Interview collect data on physical activity and household characteristics of teenagers.

    • The Children's Menu Survey is used to assess the nutritional quality of foods offered to babies. The Baby Intake Form collects information about babies' food intake during care.

    • The pre-visit cost interview, the pre-visit cost form, the sponsor/centre cost interview, the center director cost interview, the center catering cost interview, and the cost questionnaire self-administered to collect informationthe cost of producing CACFP meals and snacks.

    Personally identifiable information (PII) is not used to retrieve registrations or survey data.

    Affected public:Federal and local respondents are managers of state CACFP agencies. For-profit and not-for-profit respondents include (1) sponsor employees, (2) directors, (3) food preparers, and (4) supplier employees. Individual respondents include (1) children, (2) teenagers, and (3) their parents/guardians.

    Estimated number of respondents:A total of 16,301 citizens will initially be contacted to take part in the study. This includes 25 respondents from state and local governments, 5,880 respondents from for-profit and non-profit organizations, and 10,396 individuals. Initial contact varies by respondent type and may include notification of the study and recruitment or data collection. FNS predicts that approximately 11,677 of those people will respond to the first contact and 6,382 will not respond. Some who respond to initial contact may later become non-responders to one or more components of the data collection. The number of individual respondents expected to provide data for the study is 10,157 (25 from state and local government agencies, 3,997 from for-profit and non-profit organizations, and 6,135 individuals).

    The full sample, which is expected to be used to describe the characteristics of CACFP suppliers and the nutritional quality of the food on offer, includes 1,340 suppliers. Nursery managers and family daycare managers complete the Vendor Survey and Food Preparers complete the Menu Survey. Study personnel complete the environmental monitoring form for a subset of 420 of these providers (no public fee is associated with this activity).

    The expected full sample, which will be used to describe children's food intake, physical activity, household characteristics, and dishwashing waste, includes 2,160 children and their parents or guardians. Parents and guardians will be recruited for and consent to the study. Trained study personnel observe children's meals, snacks, and leftovers using the mealtime observation handout and measure their height and weight using the height and weight form. Parents and legal guardians complete the parent interview and ASA24 for an inpatient day and an ASA24 for an absence day. Independent subsamples of 10 percent of parents complete a separate day in or out of ASA24 care to estimate usual nutrient intake.

    The expected full sample, which will be used to measure physical activity and household characteristics of teenagers, will include 720 teenagers and their parents or guardians. Parents and guardians will be recruited for and consent to the study. Adolescents provide consent and complete the Diet and Physical Activity Experiences Survey. Parents and legal guardians will complete the Teen Parent Interview.

    The expected full sample that will be used to measure infant feeding intake and physical activity during induction will include: (1) 548 food preparers completing the Children's Menu Survey, (2) 139 caregivers or teachers completing the infant intake, and (3) 375 parents/guardians recruited for the study consent and report the infant's weight for age.

    The expected full sample used to estimate the cost of producing CACFP meals and snacks includes 444 suppliers. Individuals who complete data collection include sponsor and vendor employees. Sponsor program staff or site directors complete the Pre-Visit Cost Interview, Pre-Visit Cost Form, and Sponsor/Center Cost Interview. Center managers complete the Center Manager Cost Interview and Self-Administered Cost Questionnaire. Food preparers conduct the cost interview for the center food service.

    Estimated number of responses per respondent:All respondents are asked to respond only once to each specific data collection activity. The average total number of responses per respondent across the data collection is 2.31.

    Estimated total annual responses:41.514.

    Estimated Response Time:37 minutes (0.62 hours). Estimated response time ranges from 2 minutes to 2.49 hours depending on the respondent group, as shown in the table below.

    Estimated total annual exposure of respondents:25,843 hours. This includes 24,252 hours for respondents and 1,591 hours for non-responders. The table below provides the estimated total annual exposure for each respondent type.

    Title:Request for Decision Review: Higher Level Review (VA Form 20-0996).

    OMB Control Number:2900-0862.

    Rating type:Review of a currently approved collection.

    Abstract:VA Form 20-0996, Request for Review of Decision: High-Level Review is used by a complainant to formally request a higher-level review of an original VA decision under the Resource Modernization Act. The information gathered is used by the VA to identify the issues that the Complainant wishes to review at the Higher-Level Review Lane. In addition, the information collected is used to schedule an informal conference call upon request.

    This is the form revision. The changes include significant revisions to the instructions section to make them easier to understand. New sections have been added to the form for ease of completion: applicant identification information, type of benefit, SOC/SSOC opt-in from legacy grievance system, and signature of authorized representative. The section on requesting informal conferences has been edited to be clearer and more complete. Added examples to the Issues section for higher-level review. Formatting changes were made to simplify the form. Added optical character recognition panels to support scanning technology.

    The burden on respondents is reduced as the associated tracking number originally comprised two forms, but we are using this revision to separate the two forms into two tracking numbers and only Form VA 20-0996 will remain under the current tracking number.

    An agency may not undertake or sponsor any collection of information, and an individual is under no obligation to respond unless they provide a currently valid OMB tracking number.
