conditions, and has concluded that the
radiological consequences of designbasis accidents will meet applicable
acceptance criteria. The NRC staff’s
evaluation results will be presented in
the safety evaluation that will be issued
concurrently with the proposed EPU
amendment, if approved by the NRC
staff. However, for the purpose of this
EA, the NRC staff concludes that, based
on the information provided by the
licensee, the proposed EPU would not
significantly increase the radiological
consequences of postulated accidents.
Radiological Impacts Summary
As discussed above, the proposed
EPU would not result in any significant
radiological impacts. Because of existing
regulatory requirements regarding limits
to exposure, the NRC staff also
anticipates that there would be no
significant radiological cumulative
impacts related to the proposed EPU, as
the licensee is required to continue to
comply with such regulatory
requirements. Table 2 summarizes the
radiological environmental impacts of
the proposed EPU at MNGP.
TABLE 2—SUMMARY OF RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Radioactive Gaseous
Effluents.
Offsite Radiation Doses .......
Radioactive Liquid Effluents
Radioactive Solid Wastes ....
Occupational Doses .............
Postulated Accident Doses ..
Doses from increased gaseous effluents would remain within NRC limits and dose design objectives.
Radiation doses to members of the public would remain small, well below NRC and EPA Federal radiation protection standards.
EPU would not change routine liquid radioactive effluent releases from MNGP; the doses from discharges, if any,
would remain within NRC limits and dose design objectives.
Amount of solid waste generated would increase by approximately 15 percent (i.e., approximately 1 additional
truck shipment per year).
Occupational doses would continue to be maintained within regulatory limits.
Calculated doses for postulated design-basis accidents would remain within NRC limits.
Alternatives to the Proposed Action
As an alternative to the proposed
action, the NRC staff considered denial
of the proposed EPU (i.e., the ‘‘noaction’’ alternative). Denial of the
application would result in no change
in the current environmental impacts.
However, if the EPU were not approved
for MNGP, other agencies and electric
power organizations may be required to
pursue other means, such as fossil fuel
power generation, of providing electric
generation capacity to offset future
demand. Construction and operation of
such a fossil-fueled plant may create
impacts in air quality, land use, and
waste management significantly greater
than those identified for the proposed
EPU at MNGP. Conservation programs
such as demand-side management could
possibly replace the proposed EPU’s
additional power output. However, the
regional forecasted future energy
demand calculated by the licensee may
exceed conservation savings and still
require additional generating capacity.
Alternative energy sources such as wind
energy have been incorporated into
NSPM’s regional energy forecast.
Furthermore, the proposed EPU does
not involve environmental impacts that
are significantly different from those
originally identified in the MNGP FES.

impact of the proposed action. The
Minnesota State official had no
comments.
Finding of No Significant Impact
On the basis of the EA, 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.

comments on the rule change from
interested parties.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The proposed rule change would
amend DTC’s rules to modify its
Settlement Progress Payment (‘‘SPP’’)
and Principal and Income (‘‘P&I’’)
withdrawal cutoff times.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission,
DTC included statements concerning
the purpose of and basis for the
proposed rule change and discussed any
comments it received on the proposed
rule change. The text of these statements
may be examined at the places specified
in Item IV below. DTC has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections (A), (B),
and (C) below, of the most significant
aspects of these statements.4
(A) Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
A SPP is a payment sent intraday by
Fedwire to DTC when a DTC participant
(‘‘Participant’’) has insufficient
collateral 5 or at DTC or is at its net debit
cap. The SPP creates a credit to the
Participant’s settlement account,
thereby reducing its net debit and
allowing the Participant to continue to
receive deliveries into its Participant
account. Currently, Participants are able
to request that DTC return an SPP that
was submitted to DTC earlier in the day
(‘‘Return Request’’) until 3 p.m. eastern
time. When DTC receives a Return
Request, DTC returns the full amount or
a portion of the SPP as long as the
return does not result in a negative
collateral monitor 6 or cause the
jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
4 The
Commission has modified the text of the
summaries prepared by OCC.
5 The term ‘‘collateral’’ of a Participant on any
business day means the sum of (i) The actual
participants fund deposit of the Participant, (ii) the
actual preferred stock investment of a Participant,
(iii) all net additions of the Participant and (iv) any
SPPs wired by the Participant to DTC’s account at
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in the
manner specified in DTC’s Procedures.
6 DTC tracks collateral in a Participant’s account
through the Collateral Monitor (‘‘CM’’). The CM
reflects the amount by which the collateral in the
account exceeds the net debit in the account. When
processing a transaction, DTC verifies that the
Participant’s CM would not become negative when
the transaction completes. If the transaction would
cause the Participant to have a negative CM, the
transaction will recycle until the Participant has
sufficient collateral for the transaction to complete.

Participant’s net settlement debit to
exceed its net debit cap.
P&I allocations are credited to a
Participant’s settlement accounts
throughout each processing day as P&I
payments are received. The current
early P&I withdrawal process allows
Participants to withdraw intraday P&I
payments for non-Money Market
Instrument issues that DTC has
allocated to the Participant’s settlement
account until 3 p.m. eastern time. P&I
withdrawals can be made in any dollar
amount subject to DTC’s Risk
Management Controls.7 The total
amount of funds that a Participant may
withdraw cannot exceed the sum of all
of the Participant’s P&I allocations for
that day.
In an effort to maximize the early
return of available liquidity to
Participants, DTC is proposing to extend
the cutoff times for when Participants
may request the return of SPP and the
withdrawal of P&I to 3:20 p.m. eastern
time. These changes will necessitate
revisions to the existing DTC Settlement
Guide.
The proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 17A of the Act,8
as amended, and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to
DTC. The proposed rule change will
maximize the early return of available
liquidity to Participants and will be
implemented consistently with the safe
guarding of securities and funds in
DTC’s custody or control or for which
it is responsible because all of DTC’s
risk management controls will continue
to be in effect.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The foregoing proposed rule change
has become effective upon filing
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of
the Act 9 and Rule 19b–4(f)(4) 10
thereunder because the proposed rule
change effects a change in an existing
service of DTC that: (i) Does not
adversely affect the safeguarding of
securities or funds in the custody or
control of DTC or for which it is
responsible and (ii) does not
significantly affect the respective rights
or obligations of DTC or persons using
the service. At any time within sixty
days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily
abrogate such rule change if it appears
to the Commission that such action is
necessary or appropriate in the public
interest, for the protection of investors,
or otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act.

Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend its
Schedule of Fees and Charges (‘‘Fee
Schedule’’) to implement new royalty
fees associated with Nasdaq 100 Index
Options (‘‘NDX’’) and Mini-NDX Options
(‘‘MNX’’). On January 4, 2010, the
current royalty fee of $0.16 for MNX and
NDX contracts will increase to $0.22.
These fees reflect the pass-through
charges associated with the licensing of
these products. The Exchange notes that
royalty fees do not apply to public
customer orders in these products.
Moreover, the Exchange proposes to
delete obsolete references in its Fee
Schedule pertaining to the Linkage Pilot
Program. The Linkage Pilot Program is
set to expire on December 31, 2010.
Accordingly, the Exchange proposes to
remove the ‘‘Linkage Fees’’ portion of its
fee schedule as well as endnotes 9, 11,
12, and obsolete and redundant portions
of endnote 13. Furthermore, the
Exchange proposes to renumber
subsequent endnotes accordingly.

2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the
proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)
of the Act,3 in general, and Section
6(b)(4),4 in particular, in that it provides
for the equitable allocation of dues, fees
and other charges among its members.
Under this proposal, all similarly
situated Exchange participants will be
charged the same reasonable dues, fees
and other charges.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act.

Commission Action
The foregoing rule change is effective
upon filing pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) 5 of the Act and
subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b–4 6
thereunder, because it establishes a due,
fee, or other charge imposed by NYSE

At any time within 60 days of the
filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission may summarily abrogate
such rule change if it appears to the
Commission that such action is
necessary or appropriate in the public
interest, for the protection of investors,

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change
The proposed rule change would amend DTC's rules to modify its
Settlement Progress Payment (``SPP'') and Principal and Income
(``P&I'') withdrawal cutoff times.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
In its filing with the Commission, DTC included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. DTC has prepared summaries, set forth in sections (A),
(B), and (C) below, of the most significant aspects of these
statements.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ The Commission has modified the text of the summaries
prepared by OCC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(A) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
A SPP is a payment sent intraday by Fedwire to DTC when a DTC
participant (``Participant'') has insufficient collateral \5\ or at DTC
or is at its net debit cap. The SPP creates a credit to the
Participant's settlement account, thereby reducing its net debit and
allowing the Participant to continue to receive deliveries into its
Participant account. Currently, Participants are able to request that
DTC return an SPP that was submitted to DTC earlier in the day
(``Return Request'') until 3 p.m. eastern time. When DTC receives a
Return Request, DTC returns the full amount or a portion of the SPP as
long as the return does not result in a negative collateral monitor \6\
or cause the Participant's net settlement debit to exceed its net debit
cap.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ The term ``collateral'' of a Participant on any business day
means the sum of (i) The actual participants fund deposit of the
Participant, (ii) the actual preferred stock investment of a
Participant, (iii) all net additions of the Participant and (iv) any
SPPs wired by the Participant to DTC's account at the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York in the manner specified in DTC's
Procedures.
\6\ DTC tracks collateral in a Participant's account through the
Collateral Monitor (``CM''). The CM reflects the amount by which the
collateral in the account exceeds the net debit in the account. When
processing a transaction, DTC verifies that the Participant's CM
would not become negative when the transaction completes. If the
transaction would cause the Participant to have a negative CM, the
transaction will recycle until the Participant has sufficient
collateral for the transaction to complete.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
P&I allocations are credited to a Participant's settlement accounts
throughout each processing day as P&I payments are received. The
current early P&I withdrawal process allows Participants to withdraw
intraday P&I payments for non-Money Market Instrument issues that DTC
has allocated to the Participant's settlement account until 3 p.m.
eastern time. P&I withdrawals can be made in any dollar amount subject
to DTC's Risk Management Controls.\7\ The total amount of funds that a
Participant may withdraw cannot exceed the sum of all of the
Participant's P&I allocations for that day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ Withdrawals that are blocked as a result of insufficient
collateral or net debit cap will recycle until enough collateral or
settlement credits are generated to satisfy the collateral or net
debit cap deficiency or until the end of the recycle period when
transactions that have not successfully completed are dropped by the
system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In an effort to maximize the early return of available liquidity to
Participants, DTC is proposing to extend the cutoff times for when
Participants may request the return of SPP and the withdrawal of P&I to
3:20 p.m. eastern time. These changes will necessitate revisions to the
existing DTC Settlement Guide.
The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 17A of the
Act,\8\ as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable
to DTC. The proposed rule change will maximize the early return of
available liquidity to Participants and will be implemented
consistently with the safe guarding of securities and funds in DTC's
custody or control or for which it is responsible because all of DTC's
risk management controls will continue to be in effect.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(B) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
DTC does not believe that the proposed rule change will have any
impact or impose any burden on competition.
(C) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others
Written comments relating to the proposed rule change were not and
are not intended to be solicited or received. DTC will notify the
Commission of any written comments received by DTC.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The foregoing proposed rule change has become effective upon filing
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(4) \10\ thereunder because the proposed rule change effects a
change in an existing service of DTC that: (i) Does not adversely
affect the safeguarding of securities or funds in the custody or
control of DTC or for which it is responsible and (ii) does not
significantly affect the respective rights or obligations of DTC or
persons using the service. At any time within sixty days of the filing
of the proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such
rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is
necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of
investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
