Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 139 / Monday, July 20, 2020 / Notices
Pursuant to its authority under
section 5051 of Public Law 100–203,
Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act
(NWPAA) of 1987, the U.S. Nuclear
Waste Technical Review Board will
hold an online virtual public meeting on
Monday, July 27, 2020, and Tuesday,
July 28, 2020, to review information on
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
research and development (R&D)
activities related to disposal in a
geologic repository of commercial spent
nuclear fuel (SNF) in dual-purpose
canisters (DPCs), which are designed for
storage and transportation but not for
disposal.
The Board meeting replaces the April
29, 2020, Spring Meeting, which the
Board postponed due to the Covid-19
pandemic. Details for viewing and
participating in the virtual meeting will
be available on the Board’s website
(www.nwtrb.gov) not later than one
week before the meeting.
The meeting will begin on both days
at 12:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time
(EDT) and is scheduled to adjourn at
5:00 p.m. EDT on July 27 and at 4:30
p.m. EDT on July 28. Speakers
representing the DOE Office of Nuclear
Energy and the national laboratories
will report on R&D projects related to
the feasibility of disposing in a geologic
repository the SNF stored in DPCs
without repackaging the SNF into other
canisters. Speakers will review past
studies on the technical feasibility of
disposal of SNF in DPCs, including the
technical bases for the engineering
feasibility and thermal management of
DPC disposal. The Board will hear
presentations on DOE’s ongoing R&D
activities. Speakers will address
analysis of DPC reactivity, which is
used in criticality calculations,
criticality consequence analyses for the
period after the repository closes, and
the testing and analysis of using filler
materials to fill the void spaces inside
a DPC prior to disposal. A detailed
meeting agenda will be available on the
Board’s website approximately one
week before the meeting.
The meeting will be open to the
public, and opportunities for public
comment will be provided. Details on
how to comment publicly during the
meeting will be provided on the Board’s
website along with the details for
viewing the meeting. A limit may be set
on the time allowed for the presentation
of individual remarks. However, written
comments of any length may be
submitted to the Board staff by mail or
electronic mail. All comments received
in writing will be included in the
meeting record, which will be posted on
the Board’s website after the meeting.

will be available on the Board’s website
following the meeting. The transcript of
the meeting will be available on the
Board’s website by September 28, 2020.
The Board was established in the
Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act
of 1987 as an independent federal
agency in the Executive Branch to
evaluate the technical and scientific
validity of DOE activities related to the
management and disposal of SNF and
high-level radioactive waste, and to
provide objective expert advice to
Congress and the Secretary of Energy on
these issues. Board members are experts
in their fields and are appointed to the
Board by the President from a list of
candidates submitted by the National
Academy of Sciences. The Board reports
its findings, conclusions, and
recommendations to Congress and the
Secretary of Energy. All Board reports,
correspondence, congressional
testimony, and meeting transcripts and
related materials are posted on the
Board’s website.

graduate school benefit for returned
Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs). The
program, managed by the Peace Corps’
Office of University Programs, is made
in formal partnership with graduate
degree granting educational institutions
across the United States. The partnering
institutions are required to offer
financial support to RPCVs who, in
turn, complete substantive internships

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION
[Release No. 34–89312; File No. SR–
CboeEDGX–2020–031]
Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe
EDGX Exchange, Inc.; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change Relating To
Adopt Rules Regarding Off-Floor
Transactions and Transfers
July 14, 2020.
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2
notice is hereby given that on June 30,
2020, Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc.
(‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘EDGX’’) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule
change as described in Items I and II
below, which Items have been prepared
by the Exchange. The Exchange filed the
proposal as a ‘‘non-controversial’’
proposed rule change pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 3 and
Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.4 The
Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule
change from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change

‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘EDGX’’) proposes to

transactions and transfers. The text of
the proposed rule change is provided in
Exhibit 5.
The text of the proposed rule change
is also available on the Exchange’s

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission, the
Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for
the proposed rule change and discussed
any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of these
statements may be examined at the
places specified in Item IV below. The
Exchange has prepared summaries, set
forth in sections A, B, and C below, of
the most significant aspects of such
statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to adopt new
rules regarding off-floor transactions
and transfers.
Prohibition on Off-Floor Transactions
Rules 19c–1 and 19c–3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
‘‘Act’) describe rule provisions that each
national securities change must include
in its Rules regarding the ability of
members to engage in transactions off an
exchange. While the Exchange’s rules,
stated policies, and practices are
consistent with these provisions of the
Act, the Exchange Rules do not
currently include these provisions.
Therefore, the proposed rule change
adopts these provisions in new Rule
20.9 in accordance with Rules 19c–1
and 19c–3 under the Act.5
Off-Floor Position Transfers
Today, the Exchange does not permit
off-floor transfers of options positions
and has no rule that specifically
addresses off-floor transfers. The
Exchange proposes to adopt Rule 20.10
to specify the limited circumstances
under which a Member (‘‘Member’’)
may effect transfers of their options
positions without first exposing the
order.6 This rule would permit market
participants to move positions from one
account to another without first
exposure of the transaction on the
Exchange. This Rule would permit
transfers upon the occurrence of

Options, Inc. (‘‘Cboe Options’’) Rule 5.12(d) and (e).

88424 (March 19, 2020), 85 FR 16981 (March 25,
2020) (SR–Cboe–2019–035) (Notice of Filing of
Amendment Nos. 1 and 2 and Order Granting
Accelerated Approval of a Proposed Rule Change,
as Modified by Amendment Nos. 1 and 2, Regarding
Off-Floor Position Transfers); see also Cboe Options
Rule 6.7.

significant, non-recurring events. This
Rule states that a Member must be on
at least one side of the transfer.
Specifically, proposed Rule 20.10(a)
states:
Notwithstanding Rule 20.9, existing
positions in options listed on the Exchange
of a Member or of a Non-Member that are to
be transferred on, from, or to the books of a
Clearing Member may be transferred off the
Exchange (an ‘‘off-floor transfer’’) if the offfloor transfer involves one or more of the
following events:
(1) An adjustment or transfer in connection
with the correction of a bona fide error in the
recording of a transaction or the transferring
of a position to another account, provided
that the original trade documentation
confirms the error;
(2) the transfer of positions from one
account to another account where no change
in ownership is involved (i.e., accounts of the
same person (as defined in Rule 1.5)),
provided the accounts are not in separate
aggregation units or otherwise subject to
information barrier or account segregation
requirements;
(3) the consolidation of accounts where no
change in ownership is involved;
(4) a merger, acquisition, consolidation, or
similar non-recurring transaction for a
person;
(5) the dissolution of a joint account in
which the remaining Member assumes the
positions of the joint account;
(6) the dissolution of a corporation or
partnership in which a former nominee of the
corporation or partnership assumes the
positions;
(7) positions transferred as part of a
Member’s capital contribution to a new joint
account, partnership, or corporation;
(8) the donation of positions to a not-forprofit corporation;
(9) the transfer of positions to a minor
under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act; or
(10) the transfer of positions through
operation of law from death, bankruptcy, or
otherwise.7
The proposed rule change makes clear
that the transferred positions must be
on, from, or to the books of a Clearing
Member. The proposed rule change
states that existing positions of a
Member or a non-Member may be
subject to a transfer, except under
specified circumstances in which a
transfer may only be effected for
positions of a Member.8 The Exchange
notes transfers of positions in Exchangelisted options may also be subject to
applicable laws, rules, and regulations,
including rules of other self-regulatory
organizations.9 Except as explicitly
provided in the proposed rule text, the
proposed rule change is not intended to
exempt position transfers from any
other applicable rules or regulations,
7 See proposed Rule 20.10(a); see also Cboe
Options Rule 6.7(a).
8 See proposed Rule 20.10(a)(5) and (7).
9 See proposed Rule 20.10(h).
