Expeditions, LLC, on October 23, 2015.

These activities include aircraft support, cache positioning, camp and field support, resupply, search and rescue, medevac, medical support and logistic support for some National Operators. Now the applicant proposes a permit modification to continue permitted activities, including minimization, mitigation, and monitoring of waste, for the 2016–2017 Antarctic season. The Environmental Officer has reviewed the modification request and has determined that the amendment is not a material change to the permit, and it will have a less than a minor or transitory impact.

VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:52 Nov 03, 2016 Jkt 241001 On September 23, 2016, NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘NASDAQ’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) a proposal to amend NASDAQ Rule 7014(f) to, among other things, change their Lead Market Maker Program (now renamed the ‘‘Designated Liquidity Provider (‘‘DLP’’) Program’’) to include a new rebate, the New Product Support Incentive (‘‘NPSI’’).1 Under the NPSI, the Exchange will pay a higher rebate to market makers that act as DLPs in newly launched exchange-traded products (‘‘ETPs’’) that meet certain conditions.2 The proposal became effective upon filing pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (‘‘Exchange Act’’).3 Specifically, the Exchange will pay an NPSI rebate to a DLP of $0.0070 per executed share in the first year from the ETP’s launch, on a decreasing scale until the NPSI is phased out as the ETP ages, terminating three years from the ETP’s launch.4 In contrast, the largest 1 Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change to Amend Nasdaq’s Fees at Rule 7014(f), Exchange Act Release No. 78912 (Sep. 23, 2016); 81 FR 67019 (Sep. 29, 2016) (‘‘NPSI Release’’). 2 ETPs eligible to be qualified securities for the DLP Program are exchange-traded funds or indexlinked securities listed on NASDAQ pursuant to NASDAQ Rules 5705 (Exchange Traded Funds: Portfolio Depository Receipts and Index Fund Shares), 5710 (Securities Linked to the Performance of Indexes and Commodities, Including Currencies), 5720 (Trust Issued Receipts), 5735 (Managed Fund Shares), or 5745 (NextShares). In addition, the ETPs must have at least one DLP. Further, to qualify for the NPSI, the DLP must be at the national best bid or offer at least 20% of the time on average in the assigned ETP, the ETP must have a three-month ADV of less than 500,000, and the ETP must be less than 36 months old. See NASDAQ Rule 7014(f)(1) and (4). Collectively, securities for which rebates under the NPSI are made are referred to in this order as ‘‘NPSI Securities.’’ 3 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii). See also NPSI Release. 4 NASDAQ Rule 7014(f)(5)(B). The rebate decreases to $0.0065 per executed share in the second year and $0.0055 per executed share in the PO 00000 Frm 00065 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 76975 rebate that a DLP can collect under the DLP Program’s ‘‘Basic Rebate’’ for a nonNPSI ETP is $0.0047 per executed share.5 NASDAQ represents that the NPSI is designed for the purpose of incentivizing DLPs to support trading in newly launched ETPs.6 With the implementation of the NPSI, issuers of newly launched ETPs that choose to list on NASDAQ are automatically enrolled in the NPSI and would indirectly benefit from this liquidity support, which is intended to incentivize market makers to engage in more quotation and trading activity than might otherwise be undertaken in the absence of payments under the NPSI in order to help facilitate the distribution of newly launched ETPs. As such, the Commission believes that participating in the NPSI could constitute an indirect attempt by the issuer to induce a bid for or purchase of a covered security during a restricted period potentially in violation of Rule 102 of Regulation M.7 NASDAQ represents that the NPSI may incentivize DLPs to support trading in newly launched ETPs.8 The Commission has provided limited, conditional exemptions from Rule 102 for issuers to participate in a number of similar programs, such as the NASDAQ MQP, which also involved an indirect attempt by the issuer to induce a bid for or a purchase of a covered security during a restricted period.9 Like third. After the third year, no rebate is paid under the NPSI. These rebates collectively are referred to in this order as ‘‘NPSI Rebates.’’ 5 See NASDAQ Rule 7014(f)(4)–(5)(A). In addition to the Basic Rebate and NPSI, a DLP in qualifying ETPs can also receive the ‘‘Additional Tape C ETP Incentive,’’ which provides $0.0003 to $0.0005 per executed share, depending on how many ETPs the DLP is assigned to and other conditions are met. See NASDAQ Rule 7014(f)(5)(C). 6 NPSI Release. 7 17 CFR 242.102. The Commission notes in this regard the focus of the NPSI on newly launched ETPs. Cf. Order Instituting Proceedings to Determine Whether to Approve or Disapprove Proposed Rule Changes Relating to Market Maker Incentive Programs for Certain Exchange-Traded Products, Exchange Act Release No. 67411 (Jul. 11, 2012), 77 FR 42052 (Jul. 17, 2012) (regarding the similar NASDAQ Market Quality Program (‘‘MQP’’), stating that ‘‘[t]he Commission believes that issuer payments made under the SRO Proposals would constitute an indirect attempt by the issuer of a covered security to induce a purchase or bid in a covered security during a restricted period in violation of Rule 102’’ and noting that ‘‘under the NASDAQ Proposal, the issuer payments would ‘be used for the purpose of incentivizing one or more Market Makers in the MQP Security,’ which could induce bids or purchases for the issuer’s security during a restricted period’’). 8 NPSI Release. 9 See Order Granting a Limited Exemption from Rule 102 of Regulation M Concerning the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC Market Quality Program Pilot Pursuant to Regulation M Rule 102(e), Exchange Act Rel. No. 69196 (Mar. 20, 2013); 78 FR 18410 (Mar. 26, 2013); Order Granting a Limited E:\FR\FM\04NON1.SGM Continued 04NON1
