Professional Customer contract that 

exceeded a baseline average daily 

volume for the month. This fee 

incentive was adopted with a stated 

expiration at the close of business on 

June 30, 2021. 

As the expiration date for both the fee 

waiver and the fee incentive has passed, 

the Exchange is submitting this 

proposed rule change to remove 

language related to the fee waiver and 

the fee incentive from the Fee Schedule. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed rule change is consistent with 

Section 6(b) of the Act,7 in general, and 

furthers the objectives of Sections 

6(b)(4) and (5) of the Act,8 in particular, 

because it provides for the equitable 

allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and 

other charges among its members, 

issuers and other persons using its 

facilities and does not unfairly 

discriminate between customers, 

issuers, brokers or dealers. 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed modifications to the Fee 

Schedule to remove an expired fee 

waiver and an expired fee incentive that 

the Exchange no longer offers are 

reasonable, equitable, and not unfairly 

discriminatory because the changes 

would provide clarity to the Fee 

Schedule, and do not affect any current 

activity by any OTP Holder or OTP 

Firm. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

In accordance with Section 6(b)(8) of 

the Act, the Exchange does not believe 

that the proposed rule change would 

impose any burden on competition that 

is not necessary or appropriate in 

furtherance of the purposes of the Act. 

Instead, the proposed change is meant 

to add clarity and transparency to the 

Fee Schedule to the benefit of all market 

participants that trade on the Exchange. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

No written comments were solicited 

or received with respect to the proposed 

rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

The foregoing rule change is effective 

upon filing pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A) 9 of the Act and 

subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b–4 10

thereunder, because it establishes a due, 

fee, or other charge imposed by the 

Exchange. 

At any time within 60 days of the 

filing of such proposed rule change, the 

Commission summarily may 

temporarily suspend such rule change if 

it appears to the Commission that such 

action is necessary or appropriate in the 

public interest, for the protection of 

investors, or otherwise in furtherance of 

the purposes of the Act. If the 

Commission takes such action, the 

Commission shall institute proceedings 

under Section 19(b)(2)(B) 11 of the Act to 

determine whether the proposed rule 

change should be approved or 

disapproved. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.

the following methods:

Abstract of Proposed Collection 

The DS–160 and DS–156 collect 

biographical information from 

individuals seeking a nonimmigrant 

visa. The consular officer uses the 

information collected to elicit 

information necessary to determine an 

applicant’s eligibility for a visa. Most 

nonimmigrant visa applicants, as well 

as certain authorized parole applicants 

use the DS–160, however posts may 

authorize an applicant to use the paperbased DS–156 in limited circumstances 

as outlined below. 

Methodology 

The applicant submits the DS–160 

electronically over an encrypted 

connection to the Department via the 

internet. The applicant will be 

instructed to print a confirmation page 

containing a bar coded record locator, 

which the consular office will use to 

locate the application during 

processing. 

The DS–156 is a paper-based version 

of the DS–160. In order to obtain a copy 

of the DS–156, an applicant must 

contact the Embassy or consulate at 

which he or she is applying and request 

a copy. A consular officer may allow an 

applicant to submit the DS–156 in the 

following limited circumstances when 

applicants cannot access the DS–160: 

• An applicant has an urgent medical 

or humanitarian travel need and the 

consular officer has received explicit 

permission from the Visa Office to 

accept form DS–156; 

• The applicant is a student exchange 

visitor who must leave immediately in 

order to arrive on time for his/her 

course and the consular officer has 

explicit permission from the Visa Office 

to accept form DS–156; 

• The applicant is a diplomatic or 

official traveler with urgent government 

business and form DS–160 has been 

unavailable for more than four hours; or 

• Form DS–160 has been unavailable 

for more than three days and the officer 

receives explicit permission from the 

Visa Office. 

The DS–160 is also used in limited 

circumstances to process certain parole 

applicants. When a humanitarian or 

significant public benefit parole request 

is authorized by USCIS, the applicants 

are required to complete the DS–160 

and appear for an appointment with the 

Department of State consular section to 

verify their identity and collect 

biometrics for additional security 

vetting. If no new derogatory 

information or new identity information 

is identified during vetting that would 

cause USCIS to rescind parole approval, 

the U. S. Consulate issues a document 

referred to as a boarding foil that allows 

the beneficiary to travel to the United 

States within 30 days of it being issued. 

A final determination on whether to 

parole an applicant into the United 

States is then made by CBP at the port 

of entry.

BILLING CODE 4710–06–P 

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 36527] 

South Kansas and Oklahoma Railroad, 

L.L.C.—Lease and Operation 

Exemption—Tulsa’s Port of Catoosa 

Facilities Authority 

South Kansas and Oklahoma Railroad, 

L.L.C. (SKOR), a Class III rail carrier, has 

filed a verified notice of exemption 

under 49 CFR 1150.41 to lease from 

Tulsa’s Port of Catoosa Facilities 

Authority (the Port) and continue to 

operate a line of railroad extending 

approximately 7.1 miles between 

milepost 0.00, in Owasso, Okla., and 

milepost 7.07, in Catoosa, Okla. (the 

Line). 

The verified notice states that SKOR 

previously operated the Line pursuant 

to assignment of a leasehold from the 

former Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe 

Railway Company. See S. Kan. & Okla. 

R.R.—Lease Exemption—The Atchison, 

Topeka & Santa Fe Ry., FD 32082 (ICC 

served Aug. 11, 1992).1 SKOR and the 

Port have entered into a new Rail Line 

Lease Agreement (the Lease Agreement) 

to govern the subject transaction. SKOR 

intends to continue common carrier 

operations on the Line under the terms 

of the Lease Agreement. 

According to SKOR, the Lease 

Agreement does not include an 

interchange commitment. Further, 

SKOR certifies that its projected annual 

revenues as a result of this transaction 

will not result in SKOR’s becoming a 

Class II or Class I rail carrier, but that 

its current annual revenues exceed $5 

million. Pursuant to 49 C.F.R 

1150.42(e), if a carrier’s projected 

annual revenues will exceed $5 million, 

it must, at least 60 days before this 

exemption is to become effective, post a 

notice of its intent to undertake the 

proposed transaction at the workplace 

of the employees on the affected lines, 

serve a copy of the notice on the 

national offices of the labor unions with 

employees on the affected lines, and 

certify to the Board that it has done so. 

However, SKOR has filed a petition for 

waiver of the 60-day advance labor 

notice requirements. SKOR’s waiver 

request will be addressed in a separate 

decision. The Board will establish the 

effective date of the exemption in its 

separate decision on the waiver request. 

If the verified notice contains false or 

misleading information, the exemption 

is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the 

exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) 

may be filed at any time. The filing of
