II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Change
In its filing with the Commission, the
Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of, and basis for,
the proposed rule change and discussed
any comments it received on the

statements may be examined at the
places specified in Item IV below. The
self-regulatory organization has
prepared summaries, set forth in
Sections A, B and C below, of the most
significant aspects of such statements.

Statement of the Purpose of, and

Change
1. Purpose
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION
[Release No. 34–66414; File No. SR–BX–
2012–009]
February 16, 2012.
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2
notice is hereby given that, on February
8, 2012, NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc. (‘‘BX’’
or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule

BX is proposing to make available to
members the Trading and Compliance
Data Package under BX Rule 7021
(‘‘Data Package’’). The Data Package
allows member firms to obtain via
NasdaqTrader.com information
regarding their own historical quoting
and trading activity on BX. The Data
Package will provide BX Participants
with historical data reports containing
trade reporting information about the
Participant’s own trades in BX, for
delivery on an end-of-day or T+1 basis.
The Exchange may modify the contents
of the BX Trading and Compliance Data
Package from time to time based on
subscriber interest.
The Data Package also provides
member firms with information
concerning their compliance with BX
and FINRA rules. In this regard, member
firms that subscribe to the Data Package
can obtain the following reports: (1)
E:\FR\FM\24FEN1.SGM
24FEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 37 / Friday, February 24, 2012 / Notices
srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Monthly Compliance Report Cards,
which outline firm’s own compliance
with various FINRA rules; (2) Monthly
Summaries, which provide monthly
trading volume statistics for the top 50
market participants broken down by
industry sector, security or type of
trading; and (3) Historical Research
Reports, which provide a variety of
historical trading data such as a market
maker’s quote updates, order activity,
and detailed trade reporting
information.
Use of this service is voluntary and
member firms have the option of
subscribing or not as they choose. Users
will have the option to request and
download these reports as a standalone
product, and subscribers to the existing
NASDAQ Exchange Trading and
Compliance Data package who are BX
Participants will also have the option to
request BX reports through their
existing service. In either case, the
Exchange will not charge a fee for the
BX version at this time.
2. Statutory Basis
NASDAQ [sic] believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with
the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,3
in general, and Section 6(b)(4) and
6(b)(5) of the Act.4 The proposed rule
change is consistent with Section 6(b)(4)
because it provides for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees and
other charges among members and
issuers and other persons using any
facility or system that BX operates or
controls, and it does not unfairly
discriminate between customers,
issuers, brokers or dealers.
BX believes it is fair and reasonable
to offer the Data Package service at no
cost and on a voluntary basis to users.
The product is designed to enhance
members’ ability to provide liquidity
and to trade on BX by making market
data available quickly and in a useful
format. In the event BX decides at a later
date to assess a fee for the Data Package,
BX will file a proposed rule change in
accordance with the Act. Additionally,
the proposal is not unreasonably
discriminatory in that the Data Package
will be offered at no charge to all
members equally.
Additionally, the proposed rule
change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5)
of the Act which requires that exchange
rules be designed to prevent fraudulent
and manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in
regulating, clearing, settling, processing

information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities, to
remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market
and a national market system, and, in
general, to protect investors and the
public interest. As described above, the
Data Package is designed to enhance the
quality of trading on BX by providing
members with tools to assess their
trading results. Additionally, the Data
Package enables members to assess their
trading practices from a regulatory and
compliance perspective.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will result in
any burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act, as amended.
To the contrary, the proposed rule
change is pro-competitive in that it will
allow the Exchange to disseminate a
new product on a voluntary basis. The
Data Package is voluntary on the part of
the Exchange which is not required to
offer such products, and voluntary on
the part of prospective users that are not
required to use it.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
Written comments were neither
solicited nor received.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Because the foregoing proposed rule
change does not: (i) Significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant
burden on competition; and (iii) become
operative for 30 days from the date on
which it was filed, or such shorter time
as the Commission may designate, it has
become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 5 and Rule 19b–
4(f)(6) thereunder.6
At any time within 60 days of the
filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission summarily may
temporarily suspend such rule change if
it appears to the Commission that such
action is necessary or appropriate in the
public interest, for the protection of
5 15
U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b–
4(f)(6)(iii) requires the Exchange to give the
Commission written notice of the Exchange’s intent
to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief
description and text of the proposed rule change,
at least five business days prior to the date of filing
of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time
as designated by the Commission. The Exchange
has satisfied the five-day prefiling requirement.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title:
Submission of Aviation Consumer
Protection Division Web page On-Line
Aviation Complaint Form.
Type of Request: Request for an OMB
control number for a new information
collection.
Abstract: The Department of
Transportation’s (Department) Office of
the Assistant General Counsel for
Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings
(Enforcement Office) has broad
authority under 49 U.S.C., Subtitle VII,
to investigate and enforce consumer
protection and civil rights laws and
regulations related to air transportation.
The Enforcement Office, including its
Aviation Consumer Protection Division
(ACPD), monitors compliance with and
investigates violations of the
Department of Transportation’s aviation
economic, consumer protection, and
civil rights requirements.
Among other things, the office is
responsible for receiving and
investigating service-related consumer
complaints filed against air carriers.
Once received, the complaints are
reviewed by the office to determine the
extent to which carriers are in
compliance with federal aviation
consumer protection and civil rights
DATES:
PO 00000
Frm 00124

laws and what, if any, action should be
taken.
The key reason for this request is to
enable consumers to file their
complaints to the Department using an
on-line form. If the information
collection form is not available, the
Department may receive fewer
complaints from consumers. The lack of
information could inhibit the
Departments’ ability to improve airline
consumer satisfaction, effectively
investigate individual complaints
against an air carrier, and/or determine
patterns and practices that may develop
with an air carrier’s services in violation
of our rules. The information collection
also furthers the objectives of 49 U.S.C.
41712, 40101, 40127, 41702, and 41705
to protect consumers from unfair or
deceptive practices, to protect the civil
rights of air travelers, and to ensure safe
and adequate service in air
transportation.
Filing a complaint using a web-based
form is voluntary and minimizes the
burden on the public. Consumers can
also choose to file a complaint with the
Department by sending a letter using
regular mail or by phone message. The
type of information requested on the online form includes complainant’s name,
address, daytime phone number
(including area code) and email address,
name of the airline or company about
which she/he is complaining, flight
date, flight number, and origin and
destination cities of complainant’s trip.
A consumer may also use the form to
give a description of a specific problem
or to ask for air-travel related
information from the ACPD. The
Department has limited its
informational request to only that
information necessary to meet its
program and administrative monitoring
and enforcement requirements.
On August 23, 2011, the Department
published a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register (76 FR 52732) asking for
comments on whether this collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Department. We received one comment
in the docket from a commenter that
supported the Department collecting the
information.
Respondents: Consumers that Choose
to File an On-Line Complaint with the
Aviation Consumer Protection Division.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
8,693 (based on CY 2011 data).
Estimated Total Burden on
Respondents: 2,173.25 (hours), 130,395
(minutes).

the burden estimate, including
suggestions for reducing the burden, to

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change to BX Rule
7021
February 16, 2012.
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that, on February 8, 2012, NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc. (``BX'' or ``Exchange'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items
have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this
notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested
persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
\2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to [sic] a rule change to BX Rule 7021 to
make available at no cost and on a voluntary basis certain market data
about market participants' own trading on BX.
The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at https://nasdaqomxbx.cchwallstreet.com, at the principal
office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's public reference room.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange 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. The self-regulatory organization has prepared summaries,
set forth in Sections A, B and C below, of the most significant aspects
of such statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
BX is proposing to make available to members the Trading and
Compliance Data Package under BX Rule 7021 (``Data Package''). The Data
Package allows member firms to obtain via NasdaqTrader.com information
regarding their own historical quoting and trading activity on BX. The
Data Package will provide BX Participants with historical data reports
containing trade reporting information about the Participant's own
trades in BX, for delivery on an end-of-day or T+1 basis. The Exchange
may modify the contents of the BX Trading and Compliance Data Package
from time to time based on subscriber interest.
The Data Package also provides member firms with information
concerning their compliance with BX and FINRA rules. In this regard,
member firms that subscribe to the Data Package can obtain the
following reports: (1)
[[Page 11185]]
Monthly Compliance Report Cards, which outline firm's own compliance
with various FINRA rules; (2) Monthly Summaries, which provide monthly
trading volume statistics for the top 50 market participants broken
down by industry sector, security or type of trading; and (3)
Historical Research Reports, which provide a variety of historical
trading data such as a market maker's quote updates, order activity,
and detailed trade reporting information.
Use of this service is voluntary and member firms have the option
of subscribing or not as they choose. Users will have the option to
request and download these reports as a standalone product, and
subscribers to the existing NASDAQ Exchange Trading and Compliance Data
package who are BX Participants will also have the option to request BX
reports through their existing service. In either case, the Exchange
will not charge a fee for the BX version at this time.
2. Statutory Basis
NASDAQ [sic] believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,\3\ in general, and Section
6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act.\4\ The proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b)(4) because it provides for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among members and
issuers and other persons using any facility or system that BX operates
or controls, and it does not unfairly discriminate between customers,
issuers, brokers or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
\4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
BX believes it is fair and reasonable to offer the Data Package
service at no cost and on a voluntary basis to users. The product is
designed to enhance members' ability to provide liquidity and to trade
on BX by making market data available quickly and in a useful format.
In the event BX decides at a later date to assess a fee for the Data
Package, BX will file a proposed rule change in accordance with the
Act. Additionally, the proposal is not unreasonably discriminatory in
that the Data Package will be offered at no charge to all members
equally.
Additionally, the proposed rule change is consistent with Section
6(b)(5) of the Act which requires that exchange rules be designed to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just
and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling,
processing information with respect to, and facilitating transactions
in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest. As described above, the Data
Package is designed to enhance the quality of trading on BX by
providing members with tools to assess their trading results.
Additionally, the Data Package enables members to assess their trading
practices from a regulatory and compliance perspective.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended. To
the contrary, the proposed rule change is pro-competitive in that it
will allow the Exchange to disseminate a new product on a voluntary
basis. The Data Package is voluntary on the part of the Exchange which
is not required to offer such products, and voluntary on the part of
prospective users that are not required to use it.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others
Written comments were neither solicited nor received.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \5\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
\6\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the
Exchange's intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a
brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at least
five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The
Exchange has satisfied the five-day prefiling requirement.
