2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with
the provisions of Section 6(b)(5) of the
Act,17 which requires, among other
things, that the Exchange rules must be
designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest, and
not designed to permit unfair
discrimination between customers,
issuers, brokers and dealer [sic], and
Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,18 which
requires that Exchange rules provide for
the equitable allocation of reasonable
dues, fees, and other charges among
members and issuers and other persons
using its facilities.
The Exchange believes that this
proposal is consistent with the Act
because it implements, interprets or
clarifies Section 11.5 of the Plan, and is
designed to assist the Exchange and its
Industry Members in meeting regulatory
obligations pursuant to the Plan. In
approving the Plan, the SEC noted that
the Plan ‘‘is necessary and appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection
of investors and the maintenance of fair
and orderly markets, to remove
impediments to, and perfect the
mechanism of a national market system,
or is otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act.’’ 19 To the extent
that this proposal implements,
interprets or clarifies the Plan and
applies specific requirements to
Industry Members, the Exchange
believes that this proposal furthers the
objectives of the Plan, as identified by
the SEC, and is therefore consistent with
the Act.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
Section 6(b)(8) of the Act 20 requires
that Exchange rules not impose any
burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate. The Exchange
does not believe that the proposed rule
change will impose any burden on
competition not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. The Exchange notes
that the proposed rule change
implements Section 11.5 of the CAT
NMS Plan approved by the Commission,
17 15
U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).

and is designed to assist the Exchange
in meeting its regulatory obligations
pursuant to the Plan. Similarly, all
national securities exchanges and
FINRA are proposing this proposed rule
to implement the requirements of the
CAT NMS Plan. Therefore, this is not a
competitive rule filing and, therefore, it
does not raise competition issues
between and among the exchanges and
FINRA.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
No written comments were either
solicited or received.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Within 45 days of the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register or within such longer period
up to 90 days (i) as the Commission may
designate if it finds such longer period
to be appropriate and publishes its
reasons for so finding or (ii) as to which
the Exchange consents, the Commission
will:
(A) By order approve or disapprove
such proposed rule change, or
(B) institute proceedings to determine
whether the proposed rule change
should be disapproved.
IV. Solicitation of Comments

submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing,
including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act.

personal information, you should be
aware that your comments as submitted,
including your personal information,

Abstract of Proposed Collection
The information collection activity
will collect qualitative customer
feedback in an efficient, timely manner,
in accordance with the Administration’s
commitment to improving service
delivery. This qualitative feedback will
provide insights into customer
perceptions, experiences and
expectations, provide an early warning
of issues with service, or focus attention
on areas where communication, training
or changes in operations might improve
delivery of products or services. These
collections will allow for ongoing,
collaborative and actionable
communications between the Agency
and its customers. It will also allow
feedback to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will not yield data
that can be used for quantitative
information collections that are
designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Such data uses require
more rigorous designs that address: The
target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
Methodology
Respondents will fill out a brief
customer survey after completing their
interaction with a Department Office or
Embassy. Surveys are designed to gather
feedback on the customer’s experiences.
