operating window in the temperature
range associated with the closure head
flange and reactor vessel flange, without
a commensurate increase in plant safety.
Environmental Impacts of the
Proposed Action: The NRC has
completed its safety evaluation of the
proposed action and concludes that the
more conservative minimum
temperature requirements related to
footnote (2) to Table 1 of 10 CFR part
50, Appendix G are not necessary to
meet the underlying intent of 10 CFR
part 50, Appendix G, to protect the
Vogtle, Units 1 and 2 RPVs from brittle
fracture during normal operation under
both core critical and core non-critical
conditions and RPV hydrostatic and
leak test conditions.
The details of the NRC staffs safety
evaluation will be provided in the
amendment and exemption that will be
issued as part of letter to the licensee
approving the amendment and
exemption to the regulation.
The proposed action will not
significantly increase the probability or
consequence of accidents, no changes
are being made in the types of effluents
that may be released off-site, and there
is no significant increase in
occupational or public radiation
exposure. Therefore, there are no
significant radiological environmental
impacts associated with the proposed
action.
With regard to potential nonradiological impacts, the proposed
action does not have a potential to affect
any historic sites. It does not affect nonradiological plant effluents and has no
other environmental impact. Therefore,
there are no significant nonradiological
environmental impacts associated with
the proposed action.
Accordingly, the NRC concludes that
there are no significant environmental
impacts associated with the proposed
action.
Environmental Impacts of the
Alternatives to the Proposed Action: As
an alternative to the proposed action,
the NRC staff considered denial of the
proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘no-action’’
alternative). Denial of the application
would result in no change in current
environmental impacts. The
environmental impacts of the proposed
action and the alternative action are
similar.
Alternative Use of Resources: The
action does not involve the use of any
different resource than those previously
considered in NUREG–1087, ‘‘Final
Environmental Statement related to the
operation of the Vogtle Electric
Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2,’’ dated
December 1985.

Agencies and Persons Consulted: On
January 6, 2005, the NRC staff consulted
with the Georgia State official, Mr. Jim
Hardeman of the Department of Natural
Resources, regarding the environmental
impact of the proposed action. The State
official had no comments.
Finding of No Significant Impact
On the basis of the environmental
assessment, the NRC concludes that the
proposed action will not have a
significant effect on the quality of the
human environment. Accordingly, the
NRC has determined not to prepare an
environmental impact statement for the
proposed action.
For further details with respect to the
proposed action, see the licensee’s letter
dated February 26, 2004, as
supplemented on July 8, and October
22, 2004. Documents may be examined,
and/or copied for a fee, at the NRC’s
Public Document Room (PDR), located
at One White Flint North, Public File

I. Introduction
On November 22, 2004, the Chicago
Board Options Exchange, Incorporated
(‘‘CBOE’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’ or ‘‘SEC’’), pursuant to
Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule
19b–4 thereunder,2 a proposed rule
change relating to the introduction of
Remote Market-Makers (‘‘RMMs’’). On
January 10, 2005, CBOE filed
Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule
change.3
On January 21, 2005, CBOE filed
Amendment No. 2 to the proposed rule
change.4 The proposed rule change and
Amendments No. 1 and 2 were
published for comment in the Federal
Register on February 4, 2005.5 The
Commission received no comment
letters on the proposal. This order
approves the proposed rule change and
Amendments No. 1 and 2.
II. Discussion
CBOE’s Hybrid Trading System
merges the electronic and open outcry
trading models, offering market
participants the ability to stream
electronically their own firm
disseminated market quotes
representing their trading interest. The
current Hybrid rules allow market
makers to stream electronic quotes only
when they are physically present in
their appointed trading stations. This
requirement prevents ‘‘remote market
making,’’ a practice whereby market
