those participants separately. Therefore,
applicants and other participants (or
their counsel or representative) must
apply for and receive a digital ID
certificate before a hearing request or
petition to intervene is filed so that they
can obtain access to the document
through the E-Filing system.
A person filing electronically using
the agency’s adjudicatory E-Filing
system may seek assistance by
contacting the NRC Meta System Help
Desk through the ‘‘Contact Us’’ link on
the NRC Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/
site-help/e-submittals.html, by email to
MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a tollfree call to 866–672–7640. The NRC
Meta System Help Desk is available
between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Eastern Time,
Monday through Friday, excluding
government holidays.
Participants who believe that they
have a good cause for not submitting
documents electronically must file an
exemption request, in accordance with
10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper
filing requesting authorization to
continue to submit documents in paper
format. Such filings must be submitted
by: (1) First class mail addressed to the
Office of the Secretary of the
Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, Washington, DC 20555–
0001, and marked ‘‘Attention:
Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff;’’
or (2) courier, express mail, or expedited
delivery service addressed to the Office
of the Secretary, 16th Floor, One White
Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike,
Rockville, MD 20852, and marked
‘‘Attention: Rulemaking and
Adjudications Staff.’’ Participants filing
a document in this manner are
responsible for serving the document on
all other participants. Filing is
considered complete by first-class mail
as of the time of deposit in the mail, or
by courier, express mail, or expedited
delivery service upon depositing the
document with the provider of the
service. A presiding officer, having
granted an exemption request from
using E-Filing, may require a participant
or party to use E-Filing if the presiding
officer subsequently determines that the
reason for granting the exemption from
use of E-Filing no longer exists.
Documents submitted in adjudicatory
proceedings will appear in NRC’s
electronic hearing docket, which is
available to the public at https://
ehd1.nrc.gov/ehd, unless excluded
pursuant to an order of the Commission
or the presiding officer. Participants are
requested not to include private
personal information such as social
security numbers, home addresses, or
home phone numbers in their filings,
unless an NRC regulation or other law

requires submission of such
information. With respect to
copyrighted works, except for limited
excerpts that serve the purpose of the
adjudicatory filings and would
constitute a Fair Use application,
participants are requested not to include
copyrighted materials in their
submission.
If a person other than the licensee
requests a hearing, that person shall set
forth with particularity the manner in
which his or her interest is adversely
affected by this Order and shall address
the criteria set forth in 10 CFR 2.309(d).
If a hearing is requested by a licensee or
a person whose interest is adversely
affected, the Commission will issue an
Order designating the time and place of
any hearings. If a hearing is held, the
issue to be considered at such hearing
shall be whether this Order should be
sustained. In the absence of any request
for hearing, or any written approval of
an extension of time in which to request
a hearing, the provisions specified in
Section IV above shall be final 20 days
from the date this Order is published in
the FR without further order or
proceedings. If an extension of time for
requesting a hearing has been approved,
the provisions specified in Section IV
shall be final when the extension
expires if a hearing request has not been
received.
It is so ordered.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 24th day
of July 2013.

II. Discussion
Under Sections 6(b) and 19(a) of the
Act,9 the Commission shall by order
grant an application for registration as a
national securities exchange if the
Commission finds, among other things,
that the proposed exchange is so
organized and has the capacity to carry
out the purposes of the Act and can
comply, and can enforce compliance by
its members and persons associated
with its members, with the provisions of
the Act, the rules and regulations
thereunder, and the rules of the
exchange.
As discussed in greater detail below,
the Commission finds that Topaz
Exchange’s application for exchange
registration meets the requirements of
the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder. Further, the Commission
finds that the proposed rules of Topaz
Exchange are consistent with Section 6
of the Act in that, among other things,
they assure a fair representation of the
exchange’s members in the selection of
its directors and administration of its
affairs and provide that one or more
directors shall be representative of
issuers and investors and not be
associated with a member of the
exchange, or with a broker or dealer; 10
and that they are designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and
practices, promote just and equitable
principles of trade, foster cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged
in regulating, clearing, settling,
processing information with respect to,
and facilitating transactions in
securities, and remove impediments to
and perfect the mechanisms of a free
and open market and a national market
system and, in general, protect investors
and the public interest and are not
designed to permit unfair
discrimination between customers,
issuers, or broker-dealers.11 Finally, the
Commission finds that Topaz
Exchange’s proposed rules do not
impose any burden on competition not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act.12
A. Overview of Ownership of Topaz
Exchange
Topaz Exchange is structured as a
Delaware limited liability company
information in the Form 1 Application. The changes
proposed in Amendment No. 3 are not substantive,
are consistent with the existing rules of other
registered national securities exchanges, or are
responsive to the concerns of the commenters and
do not raise any new or novel regulatory issues.
