II. Background
Under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently
submitted a request for renewal of an
existing collection of information to
OMB for review entitled: ‘‘NRC Forms
540 and 540A, ‘Uniform Low-Level
Radioactive Waste Manifest (Shipping
Paper) and Continuation Page.’ ’’ The
NRC hereby informs potential
respondents that an agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and that a person is
not required to respond to, a collection
of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
The NRC published a Federal
Register notice with a 60-day comment
period on this information collection on
June 22, 2016 (81 FR 40728).
1. The title of the information
collection: ‘‘NRC Forms 540 and 540A,
‘Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste
Manifest (Shipping Paper) and
Continuation Page.’ ’’
2. OMB approval number: 3150–0164.
3. Type of submission: Extension.

shipped. Quarterly or less frequent
reporting is made to Agreement States
depending on specific license
conditions. No reporting is made to the
NRC.
6. Who will be required or asked to
respond: All NRC or Agreement State
low-level waste facilities licensed
pursuant to part 61 of title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) or
equivalent Agreement State regulations.
All generators, collectors, and
processors of low-level waste intended
for disposal at a low-level waste facility
must complete the appropriate forms.
7. The estimated number of annual
responses: 5,740.
8. The estimated number of annual
respondents: 220.
9. The estimated number of hours
needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or
request: 4,305.
10. Abstract: NRC Forms 540 and
540A provide a set of standardized
forms to meet Department of
Transportation (DOT), NRC, and State
requirements. The forms were
developed by NRC at the request of lowlevel waste industry groups. The forms
provide uniformity and efficiency in the
collection of information contained in
manifests which are required to control
transfers of low-level radioactive waste
intended for disposal at a land disposal
facility. The NRC Form 540 contains

by waste collectors or processors,
contains information which facilitates
tracking the identity of the waste
generator. That tracking becomes more
complicated when the waste forms,
dimensions, or packaging are changed
by the waste processor. Each container
of waste shipped from a waste processor
may contain waste from several
different generators. The information
provided on the NRC Form 542 permits
the States and Compacts to know the
original generators of low-level waste, as
authorized by the Low-Level
Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments
Act of 1985, so they can ensure that
waste is disposed of in the appropriate
Compact.

Controls
November 4, 2016.
I. Introduction
On September 1, 2016, Chicago Board
Options Exchange, Incorporated
(‘‘CBOE’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) 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
amend current and adopt new price
protection mechanisms and risk
controls for orders and quotes. The
Commission published the proposed
rule change for comment in the Federal
Register on September 20, 2016.3 On
September 21, 2016, the Exchange filed
Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule
change.4 The Commission received no

U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
CFR 240.19b–4.
3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 78839
(September 14, 2016), 81 FR 64521 (September 20,
2016) (‘‘Notice’’).
4 In Amendment No. 1, the Exchange conformed
the text of proposed Rule 6.13(b)(v)(B) to CBOE’s
description in the Notice of the drill through price
check parameter. Specifically, the amendment
added detail into the rule to reflect that, pursuant
to the drill through price check parameter, CBOE
will expose the unexecuted portion of an order via
HAL at the better of the NBBO and the drill through
price. In addition, CBOE also proposed to amend
its discussion of existing quote risk monitor
functionality to accurately match the existing rule
text (which involved background discussion of
functionality that CBOE did not propose to amend
in the current proposal). To promote transparency
of its proposed amendment, when CBOE filed
Amendment No. 1 with the Commission, it also
submitted Amendment No. 1 as a comment letter
to the file, which the Commission posted on its
Web site and placed in the public comment file for
SR–CBOE–2016–053 (available at https://
www.sec.gov/comments/sr-cboe-2016-053/
cboe2016053-1.pdf). The Exchange also posted a
copy of its Amendment No. 1 on its Web site
(https://www.cboe.com/aboutcboe/legal/
submittedsecfilings.aspx) when it filed the
amendment with the Commission.

II. Description of the Proposed Rule
Change 5
The Exchange currently has in place
various price check mechanisms and
risk controls that are designed to
prevent incoming orders and quotes
from automatically executing at
potentially erroneous prices or to assist
TPHs with managing their risk.6 The
Exchange proposed to amend CBOE
Rules 6.12(a)(3), 6.13(b)(v), 6.14 and
8.18 to add new, as well as amend
current, price protection mechanisms
and risk controls to further assist
brokers in their efforts to prevent errors
and avoid trading activity that could
potentially be unwanted or even
disruptive to the market.7
A. Limit Order Price Parameter for
Simple Orders
The Exchange proposed to amend the
limit order price parameter for simple
orders in Rule 6.12(a)(3). Currently, a
simple limit order is routed directly
from an order entry firm to an order
management terminal (‘‘OMT’’)
designated by the order entry firm if a
limit order to buy (sell) is more than an
acceptable tick distance (‘‘ATD’’) 8
above (below): (i) The Exchange’s
previous day’s closing price prior to the
opening of a series, or (ii) the
disseminated Exchange offer (bid) once
a series has opened.9
The Exchange has now proposed to
amend CBOE Rule 6.12(a)(3) to reject a
simple limit order to buy (sell) generally
when it is more than an ATD above
(below) the last disseminated national
best offer (‘‘NBO’’) (national best bid
5A
more detailed description of the proposed
rule change appears in the Notice. See supra note
3.
6 See, e.g., CBOE Rules 6.12(a)(3) through (5)
(limit order price parameters), 6.13(b)(v) (marketwidth and drill through price check parameters),
6.14 (price protections), 6.53C, Interpretation and
Policy .08 (price check parameters for complex
orders), and 8.18 (QRM Mechanism).
7 The proposed rule change also made conforming
changes to CBOE Rules 6.2B, 6.13A, and 6.14A. A
full discussion of those changes may be found in
the Notice. See supra note 3.
8 Currently, the Exchange determines the ATD,
which may be no less than 5 minimum increment
ticks, on a series-by-series and premium basis.
Under the proposed rule change, the ATD, which
may be no less than two minimum increment ticks,
will be determined on a class-by-class and premium
basis. In addition, different ATDs may be applied
to orders entered during the pre-opening, a trading
rotation, a trading halt, or Extended Trading Hours.
See proposed CBOE Rule 6.12(a)(3) and Notice,
supra note 3, at 64523 n. 8

(‘‘NBB’’)).10 According to the Exchange,
using the NBBO or NBO (NBB), if
available, will more accurately reflect
the then current market, rather than the
previous day’s closing price or
Exchange BBO.11 The Exchange,
however, will continue to use the
previous day’s closing price or
Exchange BBO in certain instances,
such as when the NBBO is locked or
crossed, or when there is no NBO (NBB)
and the closing price does not cross the
disseminated NBB (NBO).12
CBOE also proposed to apply the limit
order price parameter to immediate-orcancel orders. According to the
Exchange, such orders also are at risk of
execution at extreme and potentially
erroneous prices and thus will benefit
from applicability of these checks.13
However, the limit order price
parameter will not apply to orders
routed from a PAR workstation or OMT.
According to the Exchange, orders
routed from a PAR workstation or OMT
are subject to manual handling, and
therefore, the Exchange believes the
PAR or OMT operator will have
evaluated the price of an order based on
then-existing market conditions prior to
submitting the order for electronic
execution.14 Thus, there is minimal risk
of execution at an erroneous price. The
limit order price parameter also will not
apply to orders with a stop
contingency.15 According to the
Exchange, buy orders with a stop
contingency are generally submitted at a
triggering price that is above the NBO,
and sell orders with a stop contingency
are generally submitted at a triggering
price that is below the NBB.16 As a
result, the Exchange believes these
orders are expected to be priced outside
the NBBO.17
10 Specifically, CBOE will reject the order if it is
more than the ATD above (below): (i) prior to the
opening of a series, (A) the last disseminated
national best offer (‘‘NBO’’) (national best bid
(‘‘NBB’’)), if a series is open on another exchange,
or (B) the Exchange’s previous day’s closing price,
if a series is not yet open on any other exchange;
if the NBBO is locked, crossed, or unavailable; or
if there is no NBO (NBB) and the previous day’s
closing price is greater (less) than or equal to the
NBB (NBO); (ii) intraday, the last disseminated
NBO (NBB), or the Exchange’s best offer (bid) if the
NBBO is locked, crossed or unavailable; or (iii)
during a trading halt, the last disseminated NBO
(NBB).
11 See Notice, supra note 3 at 64522.
12 See id.
13 See id. at 64523.
14 See id.
15 See CBOE Rule 6.53. A stop contingency is
triggered for a buy order if there is a last sale or
bid at or above the stop price and for a sell order
if there is a last sale or offer at or below the stop
price.

Forms 542 and 542A, `Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest Index
and Regional Compact Tabulation, and Continuation Page.' '' The NRC
hereby informs potential respondents that an agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and that a person is not required to respond to, a collection
of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment
period on this information collection on June 22, 2016 (81 FR 40725).
1. The title of the information collection: ``NRC Forms 542 and
542A, `Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest, Index and Regional
Compact Tabulation, and Continuation Page.' ''
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0165.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Forms 542 and 542A.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: Forms are
used by shippers whenever radioactive waste is shipped. Quarterly or
less frequent reporting is made to Agreement States depending on
specific license conditions. No reporting is made to the NRC.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: All NRC or Agreement
State low-level waste facilities licensed pursuant to part 61 of title
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) or equivalent Agreement
State regulations. All generators, collectors, and processors of low-
level waste intended for disposal at a low-level waste facility must
complete the appropriate forms.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 756.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 22.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 567.
10. Abstract: NRC Forms 542 and 542A, provide a set of standardized
forms to meet Department of Transportation (DOT), NRC, and State
requirements. The forms were developed by NRC at the request of low-
level waste industry groups. The forms provide uniformity and
efficiency in the collection of information contained in manifests
which are required to control transfers of low-level radioactive waste
intended for disposal at a land disposal facility. The NRC Form 542,
completed by waste collectors or processors, contains information which
facilitates tracking the identity of the waste generator. That tracking
becomes more complicated when the waste forms, dimensions, or packaging
are changed by the waste processor. Each container of waste shipped
from a waste processor may contain waste from several different
generators. The information provided on the NRC Form 542 permits the
States and Compacts to know the original generators of low-level waste,
as authorized by the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act
of 1985, so they can ensure that waste is disposed of in the
appropriate Compact.
