Hazardous waste in the form of batteries, regulated medical waste, noncontrolled medicines, laboratory chemical waste, contaminated laboratory glassware, gas cylinders, light bulbs and paint cans, with an aggregate of approximately 2000 lbs. net weight, was segregated and packaged for removal from the station. The waste was to be removed in February 2013, at the end of 2012–2013 austral summer season. The unusual warming and melting of the ice runway at McMurdo Station resulted in reduced flight availability to the South Pole in late January and early February. Compatibility issues related to flying hazardous cargo and passengers further reduced the available flights to removing the hazardous waste material. During the final week of the season, the temperature conditions resulted in the formation of ground level contrails. The resulting hazy conditions and extremely low visibility prevented safe airplane loading operations.

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2 notice is hereby given that on July 11, 2013, Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (the ‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘CBOE’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III 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. I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The Exchange proposes to amend its Fees Schedule. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange’s Web site (https:// www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/ CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), at the Exchange’s Office of the Secretary, 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 Exchange 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 the Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change BILLING CODE 7555–01–P tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Dr. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION 1. Purpose The Exchange proposes to amend its Fees Schedule. First, the Exchange 1 15 2 17 VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:54 Jul 25, 2013 Jkt 229001 PO 00000 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). CFR 240.19b–4. Frm 00111 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 45279 proposes to eliminate the $200-permonth Hybrid Quoting Infrastructure User Fee, which is assessed to Trading Permit Holders (‘‘TPHs’’) to help cover the costs associated with hardware and maintenance services to third-party vendors that provide quoting software used by TPHs to trade on the Exchange’s Hybrid Trading System (‘‘Hybrid’’). This elimination will allow TPHs to avoid paying this fee, and may encourage more market participants to trade on CBOE. The Exchange also proposes to make an amendment to the Fees Schedule regarding Clearing Trading Permit Holder Proprietary Facilitation fees. On April 10, 2013, the Exchange amended its Fees Schedule to, in part, make more clear the fact that the Exchange will assess no Clearing Trading Permit Holder Proprietary transaction fees for certain types of facilitation orders (as defined in Footnote 11 of the Fees Schedule), including those executed via the Exchange’s Automated Execution Mechanism (‘‘AIM’’), in certain classes.3 However, regular (non-AIM) electronic Clearing Trading Permit Holder Proprietary facilitation orders remained subject to transaction fees. The Exchange hereby proposes to cease assessing transaction fees on such orders.4 This will mean that electronic Clearing Trading Permit Holder Proprietary Facilitation orders will be assessed no fees regardless of whether they are executed via AIM or the Exchange’s regular electronic mechanism (placing such executions on the same footing with regard to fees). Next, the Exchange proposes to amend its Fees Schedule with regard to fees for SPXPM. On February 19, 2013, the Exchange adopted a set of fees for the trading of SPXPM.5 The Customer SPXPM fees were set at the same rates as the Customer SPX fees. However, SPXPM trades on the Exchange’s Hybrid System, while SPX trades on the Exchange’s Hybrid 3.0 trading platform. As such, SPXPM is eligible to trade on AIM, while SPX currently does not trade on AIM. Therefore, the Exchange proposes to create separate lines for 3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 69422 (April 22, 2013), 78 FR 25112 (April 29, 2013) (SR– CBOE–2013–042). 4 As such, along with amending the Equity Options Rate Table, the ETF and ETN Options Rate Table, and the Index Options Rate Table—All Index Products Excluding SPX, SPXW, SPXpm, SRO, OEX, XEO, VIX and VOLATILITY INDEXES, to reflect this change, the Exchange also proposes to amend Footnote 11 to state that no Clearing Trading Permit Holder Proprietary transaction fees will be assessed for facilitation orders electronically (including via AIM). 5 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 69025 (March 4, 2013), 78 FR 15076 (March 8, 2013) (SR– CBOE–2013–025).

Notice of Permit Emergency Provision Under the Antarctic 
Conservation Act of 1978 (Pub. L. 95-541)

AGENCY: National Science Foundation.

ACTION: Notice of permit emergency provision for hazardous waste stored 
in Antarctica at South Pole Station for more than 15 months due to an 
emergency, as specified by Sec.  671.17.

[[Page 45279]]

SUMMARY: The Program of Environment Safety and Health (PESH) in the 
Division of Polar Programs (GEO/PLR), in accordance with Sec.  671.17, 
is giving notice that an emergency relating to considerations of the 
safety of human life or of ships, aircraft or other equipment and 
facilities of high value, or the protection of the environment caused 
hazardous waste to be stored in at South Pole Station for more than 15 
months.
    Hazardous waste in the form of batteries, regulated medical waste, 
non-controlled medicines, laboratory chemical waste, contaminated 
laboratory glassware, gas cylinders, light bulbs and paint cans, with 
an aggregate of approximately 2000 lbs. net weight, was segregated and 
packaged for removal from the station.
    The waste was to be removed in February 2013, at the end of 2012-
2013 austral summer season. The unusual warming and melting of the ice 
runway at McMurdo Station resulted in reduced flight availability to 
the South Pole in late January and early February. Compatibility issues 
related to flying hazardous cargo and passengers further reduced the 
available flights to removing the hazardous waste material. During the 
final week of the season, the temperature conditions resulted in the 
formation of ground level contrails. The resulting hazy conditions and 
extremely low visibility prevented safe airplane loading operations. 
Potential damage to the airplane and/or harm to human life were the 
considerations which prevented the hazardous waste from leaving the 
station.
    During the early part of the 2013-2104 austral summer season, the 
priority will be to remove the South Pole hazardous waste to McMurdo 
Station, where it will be removed from the continent.
