Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 25, 2024 / Notices 78425 

59Section 19(b)(2) of the Act, as amended by the 

Securities Act Amendments of 1975, Public Law 

94–29 (June 4, 1975), grants the Commission 

flexibility to determine what type of proceeding— 

either oral or notice and opportunity for written 

comments—is appropriate for consideration of a 

particular proposal by a self-regulatory 

organization. See Securities Act Amendments of 

1975, Senate Comm. on Banking, Housing & Urban 

Affairs, S. Rep. No. 75, 94th Cong., 1st Sess. 30 

(1975). 60See supra note 4. 

61 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12); 17 CFR 200.30– 

3(a)(57). 

IV. Procedure: Request for Written 

Comments 

The Commission requests that 

interested persons provide written 

submissions of their views, data, and 

arguments with respect to the issues 

identified above, as well as any other 

concerns they may have with the 

proposal. In particular, the Commission 

invites the written views of interested 

persons concerning whether the 

proposal is consistent with Section 

6(b)(5), 6(b)(8) or any other provision of 

the Act, or the rules and regulations 

thereunder. Although there do not 

appear to be any issues relevant to 

approval or disapproval that would be 

facilitated by an oral presentation of 

views, data, and arguments, the 

Commission will consider, pursuant to 

Rule 19b–4, any request for an 

opportunity to make an oral 

presentation.59

In particular, the Commission seeks 

comment on the following: 

• Commenter’s views on whether or 

not the Exchange has adequately 

described how the proposed 

functionality would handle incoming 

Periodic Auction Orders with MTP 

modifiers and incoming Continuous 

Book Orders with MTP modifiers before, 

during and after the conclusion of a 

Periodic Auction; 

• Commenter’s views on whether or 

not the Exchange has adequately 

described how the proposed incoming 

Periodic Auction Orders with MTP 

modifiers and incoming Continuous 

Book Orders with MTP modifiers would 

impact other Continuous Book Orders or 

Periodic Auction Orders; 

• Commenter’s views on whether or 

not it is appropriate for the proposed 

functionality to, in certain 

circumstances, allow for the execution 

of orders originating from the same 

Unique Identifier, even if those orders 

have MTP modifiers, and whether or not 

the Exchange has adequately explained 

and justified this proposed 

functionality; and 

• Commenter’s views on whether or 

not the proposed functionality adds 

unnecessary complexity to the 

Exchange. 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views, and 

arguments regarding whether the 

proposal should be approved or 

disapproved by October 16, 2024. Any 

person who wishes to file a rebuttal to 

any other person’s submission must file 

that rebuttal by October 30, 2024. The 

Commission asks that commenters 

address the sufficiency of the 

Exchange’s statements in support of the 

proposal, which are set forth in 

Amendment No. 1,60 in addition to any 

other comments they may wish to 

submit about the proposed rule change. 

Comments may be submitted by any 

of the following methods:

1CSXT received authority to abandon the Line in 

2023. See CSX Transp., Inc.—Aban. Exemption—in 

Cuyahoga Cnty., Ohio, AB 55 (Sub-No. 812X) (STB 

served Sept. 1, 2023). CSXT did not disclose the 

existence of NSR’s trackage rights in that 

proceeding. On September 6, 2024, in that docket, 

CSXT filed a request for an extension of the 

consummation deadline. CSXT states that NSR’s 

trackage rights constitute a barrier to CSXT’s 

consummation of abandonment and requests that 

the Board extend the deadline to consummate until 

60 days after NSR’s discontinuance authority in this 

docket is granted. CSXT’s request for an extension 

will be addressed in a separate decision in Docket 

No. AB 55 (Sub-No. 812X). 

In light of that pending request, however, NSR is 

directed to notify CSXT when NSR has 

consummated its authority to discontinue service 

over the Line. See BNSF Ry.—Aban. Exemption— 

in Flathead Cnty., Mont., AB 6 (Sub-No. 495X), slip 

op. at 2 n.2 (STB served Aug. 14, 2017). 

2Persons interested in submitting an OFA to 

subsidize continued rail service must first file a 

formal expression of intent to file an offer, 

indicating the intent to file an OFA for subsidy and 

demonstrating that they are preliminarily 

financially responsible. See 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2)(i). 

3The filing fee for OFAs can be found at 49 CFR 

1002.2(f)(25). 

4Because this is a discontinuance proceeding and 

not an abandonment, interim trail use/rail banking 

and public use conditions are not appropriate. As 

noted, supra note 1, CSXT received authority to 

abandon the Line in CSX Transportation, Inc.— 

Abandonment Exemption—in Cuyahoga County, 

Ohio, AB 55 (Sub-No. 812X) (STB served Sept. 1, 

2023). In its environmental review in that 

proceeding, the Board’s Office of Environmental 

Analysis found that the abandonment would not 

significantly affect the quality of the human 

environment and recommended no environmental 

conditions. As a result, none were imposed. CSX 

Transp., Inc.—Aban. Exemption—in Cuyahoga 

Cnty., Ohio, AB 55 (Sub-No. 812X) (STB served 

Sept. 28, 2023). Because the Line has already been
