On July 11, 2016, Investors Exchange LLC (‘‘IEX’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) a proposed minor rule violation plan (‘‘MRVP’’ or ‘‘Plan’’) pursuant to Section 19(d)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act PO 00000 Frm 00108 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 52717 of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19d–1(c)(2) thereunder.2 The proposed MRVP was published for public comment on July 18, 2016.3 The Commission received no comments on the proposal. This order declares the Exchange’s proposed MRVP effective. The Exchange’s MRVP specifies the rule violations which will be included in the Plan and will have sanctions not exceeding $2,500. Any violations which are resolved under the MRVP would not be subject to the provisions of Rule 19d– 1(c)(1) of the Act,4 which requires that a self-regulatory organization (‘‘SRO’’) promptly file notice with the Commission of any final disciplinary action taken with respect to any person or organization.5 In accordance with Rule 19d–1(c)(2) under the Act,6 the Exchange proposed to designate certain specified rule violations as minor rule violations, and requested that it be relieved of the prompt reporting requirements regarding such violations, provided it gives notice of such violations to the Commission on a quarterly basis. The Exchange proposed to include in its MRVP the procedures included in Exchange Rule 9.216(b) (‘‘Procedure for Violation Under Plan Pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 19d–1(c)(2)’’) and the violations to be included in Exchange Rule 9.218 (‘‘Violations Appropriate for Disposition Under Plan Pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 19d– 1(c)(2)’’).7 According to the Exchange’s 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(d)(1). CFR 240.19d–1(c)(2). 3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 78300 (July 12, 2016), 81 FR 46730 (‘‘Notice’’). 4 17 CFR 240.19d–1(c)(1). 5 The Commission adopted amendments to paragraph (c) of Rule 19d–1 to allow SROs to submit for Commission approval plans for the abbreviated reporting of minor disciplinary infractions. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 21013 (June 1, 1984), 49 FR 23828 (June 8, 1984). Any disciplinary action taken by an SRO against any person for violation of a rule of the SRO which has been designated as a minor rule violation pursuant to such a plan filed with and declared effective by the Commission is not considered ‘‘final’’ for purposes of Section 19(d)(1) of the Act if the sanction imposed consists of a fine not exceeding $2,500 and the sanctioned person has not sought an adjudication, including a hearing, or otherwise exhausted his administrative remedies. 6 17 CFR 240.19d–1(c)(2). 7 The Exchange received its grant of registration on June 17, 2016, which included approving the rules that govern the Exchange. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 78101 (June 17, 2016), 81 FR 41141 (June 23, 2016) (File No. 10–222). Under the proposed MRVP, violations of the following rules would be appropriate for disposition under the MRVP: Rule 2.160(p)— Continuing Education Requirements; Rule 4.511 (General Requirements related to books and records requirements); Rule 4.540 (Furnishing of records); Rule 5.110 (Supervision); Rule 8.220 (Automated submission of trading data requested); Rule 2 17 E:\FR\FM\09AUN1.SGM Continued 09AUN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC has issued Amendment No. 107 to 
Facility Operating License No. NPF-90 issued to the Tennessee Valley 
Authority, which revised the TSs for operation of the Watts Bar Nuclear

amendment are listed in the Safety Evaluation enclosed with the 
amendment. The amendment was effective as of the date of its issuance.
    The amendment revised TS 4.2.1, ``Fuel Assemblies,'' to increase 
the maximum number of TPBARs allowed in the core from 704 to 1792. The
