enough to justify establishing an
incentive-based mailing plan with the
customer for EMI, PMI, and GXG (if the
customer uses Global Shipping
Software). Id. Attachment 3 at 2. In
order to accomplish this, the GEPS–NPR
4 product revises the product designs
for GEPS–NPR 1, GEPS–NPR 2, and
GEPS–NPR 3 to include actual rates that
will cover their costs, and will eliminate
the need for each customer agreement to
be added to the competitive product list
individually. Id. Attachment 3 at 2, 5.
Mr. Cebello contends that the financial
modeling in support of the GEPS–NPR
4 product demonstrates that the product
will cover its attributable costs, make a
positive contribution to covering
institutional costs, as well as not be
subsidized by market dominant
products. Id. Attachment 3 at 3.
Related model contract. The Postal
Service included a redacted version of
the related model contract with the
Request. Id. Attachment 4. The Postal
Service will notify each customer of the
contract’s effective date no later than 30
days after receiving the signed
agreement from the customer. Id. at 7.
Each contract will expire 1 year from
the effective date unless terminated
sooner. Id. The Postal Service filed
much of the supporting materials,
including the related model contract,
under seal. Id. Attachment 1. It
maintains that the redacted portions of
the materials should remain
confidential as sensitive business
information. Id. at 4. This information
includes sensitive commercial
information concerning the incentive
discounts and their formulation,
applicable cost coverage, non-published
rates, as well as some customeridentifying information. Id. The Postal
Service asks the Commission to protect
customer-identifying information from
public disclosure for 10 years after the
date of filing with the Commission,
unless an order is entered to extend the
duration of that status. Id. at 9.

variable annuity contracts (‘‘Contracts’’)
in 1978 and has not engaged in any
solicitation or marketing activities with

Since 1978, the number of outstanding

Applicant currently has only 18
beneficial owners of such Contracts.

Applicant issues, securityholders under
the Contracts will be promptly notified

securityholders of an investment
company registered under the Act will
no longer apply to such Fund A
securityholders. However, after issuance
of the order, the Company will continue
to be responsible for satisfying all the
obligations to securityholders under the
Contracts.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to lower the
default 4 rebate at the top of its fee
schedule for adding liquidity in
securities at or above $1.00 on EDGX
from a rebate of $0.0023 per share to a
rebate of $0.0021 per share. This change
will also be reflected in the following
added liquidity flags: Flags B, V, Y, 3,
and 4. The Exchange notes that
Members will still qualify for all tiered
rebates, as discussed in Footnotes 1, 2,
or 13 on the Exchange’s fee schedule.5
The Exchange proposes to increase
the default rate for removing liquidity
from EDGX in securities priced below
$1 from 0.10% of the dollar value of the
transaction to 0.30% of the dollar value
of the transaction.6 As a result of the
increase in rate, all flags that remove
liquidity from the EDGX Book in
securities priced less than $1.00 would
be assessed a fee of 0.30% of the dollar
value of the transaction. These include
Flags N, W, 6, BB, MT, PI, PR, and ZR.7
For customer internalization, which
occurs when two orders presented to the
Exchange from the same Member (i.e.,
MPID) are presented separately and not
in a paired manner, but nonetheless
inadvertently match with one another,8
the Exchange currently charges
$0.00035 per share per side of an
execution (for adding liquidity and for
removing liquidity) for Flags EA, ER,
and 5. This charge occurs in lieu of the
standard or tiered rebate/removal rates.
Therefore, Members currently incur a
total transaction cost of $0.0007 per
share for both sides of an execution for
customer internalization.
In SR–EDGX–2011–13,9 the Exchange
represented that it ‘‘will work promptly
to ensure that the internalization fee is
4 ‘‘Default’’ refers to the standard rebated
provided to Members for orders that add liquidity
to the Exchange absent Members qualifying for
additional volume tiered pricing. The Exchange
notes that Members may qualify for a higher rebate
than the default rebate if they satisfy the volume
tier requirements outlined in Footnotes 1, 2, or 13.
5 References herein to ‘‘Footnotes’’ refer only to
footnotes on the Exchange’s fee schedule and not
to footnotes within the current filing.
6 This fee is consistent with the limitations of
Regulation NMS, SEC Rule 610(c), for securities
with a price of less than $1.00.
7 The Exchange notes that the rates in the table
of flags on its fee schedule all apply to orders in
securities priced $1 and over and therefore, no
amendment is necessary to the rates displayed on
this table at this time.
8 Members are advised to consult Rule 12.2
respecting fictitious trading.
9 See Securities Exchange Release No. 64452 (May
10, 2011), 76 FR 28110, 28111 (May 13, 2011) (SR–

Washington National Variable Annuity Fund A [File No. 811-1661]
Summary: Applicant, Washington National Variable Annuity Fund A, a
unit investment trust registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (the ``Act''), seeks an order declaring that it has ceased to be
an investment company. Washington National Insurance Company
(``Company''), of which Applicant is a separate account, terminated the
offering of Applicant's variable annuity contracts (``Contracts'') in
1978 and has not engaged in any solicitation or marketing activities
with respect to the Contracts for 34 years. Since 1978, the number of
outstanding Contracts declined as a result of surrenders by owners of
the Contracts and deaths of owners or annuitants under their Contracts.
As a result, Applicant currently has only 18 beneficial owners of such
Contracts. Applicant is not making and does not presently propose to
make a public offering of the Contracts. After the deregistration order
requested by the Applicant issues, securityholders under the Contracts
will be promptly notified that certain legal protections afforded to
securityholders of an investment company registered under the Act will
no longer apply to such Fund A securityholders. However, after issuance
of the order, the Company will continue to be responsible for
satisfying all the obligations to securityholders under the Contracts.
