confirming receipt of the document. The 

E-Filing system also distributes an email 

notice that provides access to the 

document to the NRC’s Office of the 

General Counsel and any others who 

have advised the Office of the Secretary 

that they wish to participate in the 

proceeding, so that the filer need not 

serve the document on those 

participants separately. Therefore, 

applicants and other participants (or 

their counsel or representative) must 

apply for and receive a digital ID 

certificate before adjudicatory 

documents are filed so that they can 

obtain access to the documents via the 

E-Filing system. 

A person filing electronically using 

the NRC’s adjudicatory E-Filing system 

may seek assistance by contacting the 

NRC’s Electronic Filing Help Desk 

through the ‘‘Contact Us’’ link located 

on the NRC’s public website at https:// 

www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html, by email to 

MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a tollfree call at 1–866–672–7640. The NRC 

Electronic Filing Help Desk is available 

between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., Eastern 

Time, Monday through Friday, 

excluding government holidays. 

Participants who believe that they 

have a good cause for not submitting 

documents electronically must file an 

exemption request, in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper 

filing stating why there is good cause for 

not filing electronically and requesting 

authorization to continue to submit 

documents in paper format. Such filings 

must be submitted by: (1) First class 

mail addressed to the Office of the 

Secretary of the Commission, U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001, Attention: 

Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff; or 

(2) courier, express mail, or expedited 

delivery service to the Office of the 

Secretary, 11555 Rockville Pike, 

Rockville, Maryland, 20852, Attention: 

Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff. 

Participants filing adjudicatory 

documents in this manner are 

responsible for serving the document on 

all other participants. Filing is 

considered complete by first-class mail 

as of the time of deposit in the mail, or 

by courier, express mail, or expedited 

delivery service upon depositing the 

document with the provider of the 

service. A presiding officer, having 

granted an exemption request from 

using E-Filing, may require a participant 

or party to use E-Filing if the presiding 

officer subsequently determines that the 

reason for granting the exemption from 

use of E-Filing no longer exists. 

Documents submitted in adjudicatory 

proceedings will appear in the NRC’s 

electronic hearing docket which is 

available to the public at https://

adams.nrc.gov/ehd, unless excluded 

pursuant to an order of the Commission 

or the presiding officer. If you do not 

have an NRC-issued digital ID certificate 

as described above, click ‘‘cancel’’ when 

the link requests certificates and you 

will be automatically directed to the 

NRC’s electronic hearing docket where 

you will be able to access any publicly 

available documents in a particular 

hearing docket. Participants are 

requested not to include personal 

privacy information, such as social 

security numbers, home addresses, or 

personal phone numbers in their filings, 

unless an NRC regulation or other law 

requires submission of such 

information. For example, in some 

instances, individuals provide home 

addresses in order to demonstrate 

proximity to a facility or site. With 

respect to copyrighted works, except for 

limited excerpts that serve the purpose 

of the adjudicatory filings and would 

constitute a Fair Use application, 

participants are requested not to include 

copyrighted materials in their 

submission. 

The Commission will issue a notice or 

order granting or denying a hearing 

request or intervention petition, 

designating the issues for any hearing 

that will be held, and designating the 

Presiding Officer. A notice granting a 

hearing will be published in the Federal 

Register and served on the parties to the 

hearing.

application, see the application dated

I. Introduction 

On June 23, 2021, the Postal Service 

filed a Notice with the Commission 

pursuant to 39 CFR 3040.211 to change 

the size limitations for presorted FirstClass Mail postcards in Section 1110 in 

the Market Dominant Product List in the 

Mail Classification Schedule (MCS).1 In 

addition to its Notice, the Postal Service 

filed the following document: 

• Attachment 1 to the Notice— 

Revisions to Mail Classification 

Schedule of applicable parts of Section 

1110 Presorted Letters/Postcards of the 

MCS language. 

The Postal Service proposed to 

‘‘update the maximum size limit for 

presorted [First-Class Mail] FCM 

postcards, so that it would be 9 inches 

length by 6 inches height, instead of the 

current 6 inches length by 41⁄4 inches 

height.’’ Notice at 2. The Postal Service 

describes the proposed changes as a 

result of the Postal Service’s outreach to 

mailers, who indicated that ‘‘postcards 

are an effective engagement and 

information tool, and the larger 

presorted postcard size would allow 

commercial mailers to capitalize on 

recipients’ attention for promotion and 

information purposes,’’ increasing the 

overall utility of postcards to mailers. 

Id. at 3. 

The Postal Service describes the 

impact of the proposed changes on the 

users of First-Class Mail postcards as an 

expansion of the options available to 

commercial mailers, and that it would 

not restrict current options in any 

manner, as current customers could 

either choose to send the larger FirstClass Mail postcards or continue to send

3The Exchange will separately request an 

exemption from the rule filing requirements of 

Section 19(b) of the Act in requesting to incorporate 

FINRA Rule 5250 and the definition of ‘‘affiliate’’ 

and the related definitions within FINRA Rule 5121 

to the extent General 9, Section 18 is affected solely 

by virtue of a change to FINRA Rule 5250 or to such 

definitions within FINRA Rule 5121. The 

Exchange’s proposed rule change will not become 

operative unless and until the Commission grants 

this exemption request.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The 

Nasdaq Stock Market LLC; Notice of 

Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of 

Proposed Rule Change To Amend 

General 9, Section 18, Payments for 

Market Making 

June 23, 2021. 

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 14, 

2021, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC 

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

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘SEC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed 

rule change as described in Items I and 

II below, which Items have been 

prepared by the Exchange. 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 

The Exchange proposes to amend 

General 9, Section 18, Payments for 

Market Making. The text of the 

proposed rule change is available on the 

Exchange’s website at https://

listingcenter.nasdaq.com/rulebook/ 

nasdaq/rules, at the principal office of 

the Exchange, and at the Commission’s 

Public Reference Room. 

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 amend 

General 9, Section 18, Payments for 

Market Making to align General 9, 

Section 18 with FINRA Rule 5250, 

Payments for Market Making. 

Specifically, the Exchange proposes to 

replace General 9, Section 18 with rule 

text incorporating FINRA Rule 5250 by 

reference.3 The Exchange also proposes 

to incorporate by reference the 

definition ‘‘affiliate’’ and the related 

definitions within FINRA Rule 5121 for 

purposes of FINRA Rule 5250. 

By way of background, General 9, 

Section 18 and FINRA Rule 5250 

explicitly prohibit any payment by 

issuers or issuers’ affiliates and 

promoters, directly or indirectly, to a 

member or person associated with a 

member for publishing a quotation, 

acting as a market maker, or submitting 

an application in connection therewith. 

The respective rules are intended, 

among other things, to prohibit 

members from receiving compensation 

or other payments from an issuer for 

quoting or making a market in the 

issuer’s securities and to assure that 

members act in an independent capacity 

when publishing a quotation or making 

a market in an issuer’s securities. 

Today, there are several differences 

between current General 9, Section 18 

and FINRA Rule 5250. The Exchange’s 

proposal to replace General 9, Section 

18 with an incorporation by reference to 

FINRA Rule 5250 will align Nasdaq’s 

rule to FINRA’s rule. The Exchange 

explains the differences below. 

First, by incorporating FINRA Rule 

5250, the Exchange would incorporate 

FINRA’s rule which states that members 

are not precluded from accepting ‘‘any 

payment expressly provided for under 

the rules of a national securities 

exchange that are effective after being 

filed with, or filed with and approved 

by, the SEC pursuant to the 

requirements of the Exchange Act.’’ 

General 9, Section 18 currently does not 

include this exception. FINRA 

previously amended Rule 5250 4 to 

account for cases where a market maker 

payment is provided for under the rules 

of an exchange that are effective after 

being filed with, or filed with and 

approved by, the Commission pursuant 

to the requirements of the Act. FINRA 

noted in its 2013 Rule Change that 

comity should be afforded to such 

exchange rulemaking and the payment 

should not be prohibited under Rule 

5250.5 The 2013 Rule Change cited to 

Nasdaq’s Market Quality Program as an 

example of such exchange rulemaking.6
