FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Blane Workie or Daeleen Chesley, Office of the Secretary, Office of the Assistant General Counsel for Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings (C–70), Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE., Washington, DC 20590, (202) 366–9342 (voice) 202–366– 7152 (fax) or at Blane.Workie@dot.gov or Daeleen.Chesley@dot.gov. 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 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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). ADDRESSES: Send comments regarding the burden estimate, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to E:\FR\FM\24FEN1.SGM 24FEN1

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\
