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 1 15 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. asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 2 17 VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:46 Nov 09, 2016 Jkt 241001 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 9 See CBOE Rule 6.12(a)(3). PO 00000 Frm 00097 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 79063 (‘‘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. 16 See Notice, supra note 3 at 64523. 17 See id.

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 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.
