SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that the NRC has issued
renewed facility operating license Nos.
NPF–72 and NPF–77 to Exelon
Generation Company, LLC, the operator
of Braidwood Station. Renewed facility
operating license Nos. NPF–72 and
NPF–77 authorizes the operation of
Braidwood Units 1 and 2 at reactor core
power levels not in excess of 3645
megawatts thermal each, in accordance
with the provisions of the Braidwood,
Units 1 and 2 renewed licenses and
technical specifications. The NRC’s
ROD that supports the decision to renew
facility operating license Nos. NPF–72
and NPF–77 is available in ADAMS
under Accession No. ML15322A317.
As discussed in the ROD and the final
supplemental environmental impact
statement (FSEIS) for Braidwood
Station, Supplement 55 to NUREG–
1437, ‘‘Generic Environmental Impact
Statement for License Renewal of
Nuclear Plants Regarding Braidwood
Station, Units 1 and 2,’’ issued in
November 2015 (ADAMS Accession No.
ML15314A814), the NRC considered a
range of reasonable alternatives that
included new nuclear generation, coalintegrated gasification combined cycle,
natural gas combined-cycle (NGCC),
combination (NGCC, wind, and solar
generation), replacement power, and the
no-action alternative. The ROD and
FSEIS document the NRC’s
determination that the adverse
environmental impacts of license
renewal for Braidwood are not so great
that preserving the option of license
renewal for energy planning decision
makers would be unreasonable.
Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2, has
two pressurized water reactors and is
located in Will County, Illinois. The
application for the renewed licenses,
‘‘License Renewal Application, Byron
and Braidwood Stations, Units 1 and 2,’’
dated May 29, 2013 (ADAMS Accession
Nos. ML13155A420 and
ML13155A421), as supplemented by
letters dated through April 13, 2015,
with respect to Braidwood Station,
complied with the standards and
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act
of 1954, as amended (AEA) and the
NRC’s regulations in Chapter I of title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations. The
NRC has made appropriate findings,
which are set forth in each of the
licenses, as required by the AEA and its
regulations. A public notice of the
proposed issuance of the renewed
licenses and an opportunity for a
hearing was published in the Federal
Register on July 24, 2013 (78 FR 44603).

January 28, 2016.
I. Introduction
On October 16, 2015, NYSE MKT LLC
(the ‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘NYSE MKT’’) filed
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant
to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule
19b-4 thereunder,2 a proposed rule
change to delete Rule 410B—Equities
governing reporting requirements for
off-Exchange transactions. The proposed
rule change was published for comment
in the Federal Register on November 2,
2015.3 The Commission received no
comment letters on the proposed rule
change. On December 16, 2015, the
Commission designated a longer period
within which to approve the proposed
rule change, disapprove the proposed
rule change, or institute proceedings to
determine whether to approve or
disapprove the proposed rule change.4

The Commission is approving the
proposed rule change.
II. Description of the Proposed Rule
Change
The Exchange proposes to delete Rule
410B—Equities (‘‘Rule 410B’’), which
sets forth certain regulatory reporting
requirements for member or member
organizations effecting off-Exchange
transactions in Exchange listed
securities that are not reported to the
Consolidated Tape, and to make
conforming amendments to Rule 476A
to delete a reference to Rule 410B. The
Exchange represents that Rule 410B is
no longer necessary in light of changes
in trade reporting and regulatory
requirements that have been put in
place since the Exchange adopted Rule
410B.
Changes to Regulatory Landscape
On July 30, 2007, the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
(‘‘NASD’’), New York Stock Exchange
LLC (‘‘NYSE’’), and NYSE Regulation,
Inc. (‘‘NYSE Regulation’’) consolidated
their member-firm regulation operations
to create the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority, Inc. (‘‘FINRA’’)
and entered into a plan to allocate to
FINRA regulatory responsibility for
common rules and common members
(‘‘17d–2 Agreement’’).5 The Exchange
was added as a party to the 17d-2
Agreement in 2009.6
In 2008, the Exchange, NASD, NYSE,
and NYSE Regulation also entered into
a plan to allocate to FINRA regulatory
responsibility, over exchange members
that are also FINRA members, for
surveillance, investigation, and
enforcement of insider trading with
respect to NYSE- and MKT-listed stocks,
among others, irrespective of where the
relevant trading occurred (the ‘‘Insider
Trading Plan’’).7 On June 14, 2010,
FINRA was retained to perform the
residual market surveillance and
enforcement functions that had, up to
that point, been performed by NYSE
5 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56148
(July 26, 2007), 72 FR 42146 (August 1, 2007) (File
No. 4–544) (Notice of Filing and Order Approving
and Declaring Effective a Plan for the Allocation of
Regulatory Responsibilities). In 2007, the NASD,
NYSE, the Exchange and NYSE Regulation also
entered into a Regulatory Services Agreement
(‘‘RSA’’), whereby FINRA was retained to perform
certain regulatory services for non-common rules.
