provisions of law, regulations, and 

orders issued by the Commission 

pursuant thereto.

Background 

On October 28, 2004, the Ronald W. 

Reagan National Defense Authorization 

Act for Fiscal Year 2005 (NDAA) was 

signed by the President. Section 3116 of 

the NDAA allows the DOE to determine 

that the term ‘‘high-level radioactive 

waste’’ (HLW) does not include certain 

waste stemming from reprocessing of 

spent nuclear fuel. The NDAA is 

applicable only in the states of South 

Carolina and Idaho and does not apply 

to waste transported out of these states. 

The NDAA requires that: (1) DOE 

consult with NRC concerning DOE’s 

waste determinations in South Carolina 

and Idaho, and (2) NRC, in coordination 

with the State, monitor such disposal

rebate program is a separate program from the

6The Exchange anticipates shortly filing a 

proposed rule change with the Commission to 

implement a Directed Order Flow Program. 

Generally, for purposes of the Directed Order Flow 

Program, a directed order is deemed to be an 

electronic customer order from an order flow 

provider that is directed to a specific specialist, 

registered options trader (‘‘ROT’’), SROT or remote 

registered options trader (‘‘RROT’’). Once the 

Directed Order Flow Program is implemented, in 

addition to SROTs, the Exchange intends to expand 

this proposed SROT Fee Rebate Program to any 

specialist, ROT, and/or RROT that participates in 

the Exchange’s Directed Order Program. 

actions taken by DOE for the purpose of 

assessing compliance with performance 

objectives in 10 CFR Part 61, Subpart C. 

If the NRC determines that any such 

disposal actions taken by DOE are not 

in compliance with those performance 

objectives, the NDAA requires NRC to 

inform DOE, the affected State, and 

congressional committees. 

On November 16, 2006, NRC and DOE 

conducted a public meeting to discuss 

interactions during the review of nonHLW determinations prepared under 

the NDAA. During that meeting, NRC 

and DOE committed to conduct a future 

meeting to discuss the progress that has 

been made since the November 2006 

public meeting. During the upcoming 

public meeting cited in this Notice, NRC 

and DOE will: (1) Discuss the progress 

they have made since November 2006; 

(2) provide information regarding the 

content and outcome of interactions 

held to date; (3) address progress in 

exchanging information concerning 

generic technical issues related to DOE’s 

performance assessments; and (4) 

provide information on monitoring 

plans and related activities. 

As noted on the agenda, time will be 

set aside during this meeting for 

observers who wish to make comments. 

After the meeting, a publicly available 

summary of this meeting will be made 

available on the NRC’s Agency-wide 

Documents Access and Management 

System (ADAMS) at www.nrc.gov.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; 

American Stock Exchange LLC; Notice 

of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness 

of a Proposed Rule Change, as 

Modified by Amendment No. 1 Thereto, 

Relating to the Options SROT Fee 

Rebate Program 

July 2, 2007. 

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 1, 

2007, the American Stock Exchange LLC 

(‘‘Amex’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule 

change as described in Items I, II, and 

III below, which Items have been 

substantially prepared by the Exchange. 

On June 7, 2007, the Amex submitted 

Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule 

change.3 Amex has designated this 

proposal as one establishing or changing 

a due, fee, or other charge imposed by 

Amex under Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of 

the Act 4 and Rule 19b–4(f)(2) 

thereunder,5 which renders the proposal 

effective upon filing with the 

Commission. The Commission is 

publishing this notice to solicit 

comments on the proposed rule change, 

as amended, from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

The Exchange proposes to establish 

fee rebates applicable to supplemental 

registered options traders (‘‘SROTs’’) 

that receive directed orders. 

The text of the proposed rule change 

is available at the Exchange, the 

Commission’s Public Reference Room, 

and www.amex.com. 

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. Amex 

has substantially 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 is proposing to provide 

options transaction fee rebates to SROTs 

that provide liquidity to the Exchange 

and receive electronic directed customer 

orders (the ‘‘SROT Fee Rebate 

Program’’). This SROT Fee Rebate 

Program will provide fee rebates to 

SROTs that provide order flow to the 

Exchange from their own firm’s orders.6

This proposal would allow the 

Exchange to provide SROTs with 

options transaction fee rebates for the 

number of options contracts that are 

electronically directed to them and 

executed on the Exchange. The 

following rebate schedule is proposed:
