Council on Underserved Communities Advisory Board: Meeting, 64253-64254 [2016-22411]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 181 / Monday, September 19, 2016 / Notices mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES Schedule, including the liquidity fees and credits for PIP and COPIP Transactions. The Exchange believes it is reasonable to establish higher fees and credits for Non-Penny Pilot Classes because these Classes are typically less actively traded and have wider spreads. The Exchange believes that offering a higher rebate will incentivize order flow in Non-Penny Pilot issues on the Exchange, ultimately benefitting all Participants trading on BOX. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange believes that the proposed adjustments to the Facilitation and Solicitation Transaction fees will not impose a burden on competition among various Exchange Participants. Rather, BOX believes that the changes will result in the Participants being charged appropriately for their Facilitation and Solicitation Transactions and are designed to enhance competition in these auction mechanisms. Submitting an order is entirely voluntary and Participants can determine which type of order they wish to submit, if any, to the Exchange. The Exchange believes that the proposed rebate for Facilitation and Solicitation transactions will not impose a burden on competition among various Exchange Participants. The Exchange believes the proposed rebate is attractive to market participants and is similar to rebates offered by other exchanges.15 Further, the Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change to not offer a rebate for ‘‘Public Customer to Public Customer’’ transactions will burden intramarket competition because although ‘‘Public Customer to Public Customer’’ transactions will not receive a rebate, these transactions are not assessed Facilitation and Solicitation transaction fees (unlike Non- ‘‘Customer to Customer’’ Facilitation and Solicitation transactions). The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule changes will impose any burden on intermarket competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act because the proposed rule change applies only to BOX and because other Exchanges have similar exclusions.16 The Exchange also believes that amending the proposed liquidity fees 15 See supra note 13. CBOE does not offer a rebate (credit) for Customer to Customer executions. 16 Id. VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:47 Sep 16, 2016 Jkt 238001 and credits for Facilitation and Solicitation Transactions will not impose a burden on competition among various Exchange Participants. The Exchange believes that the proposed changes will result with these Participants being charged or credited appropriately for these transactions. Finally, the Exchange notes that it operates in a highly competitive market in which market participants can readily favor competing exchanges. In such an environment, the Exchange must continually review, and consider adjusting, its fees and credits to remain competitive with other exchanges. For the reasons described above, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change reflects this competitive environment. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others No written comments were either solicited or received. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Exchange Act 17 and Rule 19b–4(f)(2) thereunder,18 because it establishes or changes a due, or fee. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend the rule change if it appears to the Commission that the action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or would otherwise further the purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved. IV. Solicitation of Comments Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods: Electronic Comments • Use the Commission’s Internet comment form (https://www.sec.gov/ rules/sro.shtml); or • Send an email to rule-comments@ sec.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Purpose The SSDI program provides financial support for disabled individuals and their dependents. In 2015, the SSDI program provided more than $140 billion in benefits to 10.8 million Americans.1 Given the large number of individuals who rely on SSDI and the interest in supporting employment efforts of those with disabilities when possible, policymakers need a strong evidentiary base from which to consider future program improvements and innovations that can strengthen the ability of individuals with disabilities to work.

Impairments in this section include, but are not limited to, major joint dysfunction, spinal disorders, amputation, and soft tissue injuries. Background Musculoskeletal impairments are the primary diagnosis for 31 percent of all SSDI disabled workers and for 36 percent of disabled workers awarded SSDI in 2014.2 A small, growing body of research involving studies of workers compensation and occupational health programs in the United States and in other countries suggests that the 1 https://www.ssa.gov/OACT/STATS/ table4a6.html; https://www.ssa.gov/OACT/STATS/ OASDIbenies.html. 2 https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/statcomps/di_ asr/, Tables 21 and 40.
