1See Docket No. RM2018–3, Order Adopting 

Final Rules Relating to Non-Public Information, 

June 27, 2018, Attachment A at 19–22 (Order No. 

4679). 

operator, to approve the security 

suspension at a permanently shutdown 

and defueled power plant does not (1) 

involve a significant increase in the 

probability or consequences of an 

accident previously evaluated; or (2) 

create the possibility of a new or 

different kind of accident from any 

accident previously evaluated; or (3) 

involve a significant reduction in a 

margin of safety. The proposed 

exemption is unrelated to any 

operational restriction. Therefore, the 

requirements of 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(i) 

are met. 

Requirements in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(ii) 

and (iii) 

The proposed exemption would not 

change radioactive effluents or 

emissions that affect radiation 

exposures to plant workers and 

members of the public. Accordingly, 

there is no significant change in the 

types or significant increase in the 

amounts of any effluents that may be 

released offsite and no significant 

increase in individual or cumulative 

public or occupational radiation 

exposure. Therefore, the requirements of 

10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(ii) and (iii) are met. 

Requirements in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(iv) 

The proposed exemption is not 

associated with construction or major 

renovations of any buildings or 

structures. Therefore, the requirements 

of 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(iv) are met 

because there is no significant 

construction impact. 

Requirements in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(v) 

The proposed exemption does not 

concern the source term (i.e., potential 

amount of radiation in an accident) or 

mitigation. Thus, there is no significant 

increase in the potential for or 

consequences from radiological 

accidents. Therefore, the requirements 

of 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(v) are met. 

Requirements in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(vi) 

The proposed exemption is from the 

requirement to have a licensed senior 

operator approve suspensions of 

security measures in an emergency or 

during severe weather. Therefore, the 

requirement from which the exemption 

is sought involves safeguard plans, 

materials control, and managerial and 

organizational matters and, thus, the 

requirements of 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(vi) 

are met. 

Determination Regarding 10 CFR 

51.22(c)(25) Requirements 

Based on the above, the NRC staff 

determines that the proposed exemption 

meets the eligibility criteria for a 

categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 

51.22(c)(25). Therefore, pursuant to 10 

CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact 

statement or environmental assessment 

need be prepared in connection with the 

approval of the proposed exemption. 

IV. Conclusion 

Accordingly, the Commission has 

determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 

73.5, the proposed exemption is 

authorized by law, will not endanger 

life or property or the common defense 

and security, and is otherwise in the 

public interest. Therefore, the 

Commission hereby grants the licensee’s 

request for an exemption from the 

requirements of 10 CFR 73.55(p)(1)(i) 

and (ii) to allow either a licensed senior 

operator or a CFH to approve the 

suspension of security measures in an 

emergency or during severe weather at 

Byron once the certifications required 

under 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1) have been 

submitted. 

The exemption is effective upon 

receipt.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The 

Nasdaq Stock Market LLC; Notice of 

Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of 

Proposed Rule Change To Amend 

General 9, Section 51, Research 

Analysts 

August 24, 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 August 

12, 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 51, Research 

Analysts. 

The Exchange also proposes to amend 

General 9, Section 10, 

Recommendations to Customers 

(Suitability). 

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 51, Research 

Analysts. Specifically, the Exchange 

proposes to (1) remove references to 

FINRA Rules 1120 3 and 1250;4 and (2) 

add references to FINRA Rules 1240 and 

1220(a)(6), (a)(14) and (b)(6). 

The Exchange also proposes to amend 

General 9, Section 10, 

Recommendations to Customers 

(Suitability). 

General 9, Section 51 

By way of background, FINRA 

previously deleted in their entirety the 

NASD Rule 1000 Series relating to 

registration of Principals and 

Representatives and adopted rules 

relating to qualification and registration 

requirements in the Consolidated 

FINRA Rulebook.5 In that rule change, 

FINRA Rule 1250 was renumbered to 

FINRA Rule 1240.6 FINRA Rule 1240 

describes continuing education 

requirements applicable to registered 

persons and consists of a Regulatory 

Element and a Firm Element. 

Nasdaq subsequently filed a rule 

change 7 to amend, reorganize and 

enhance certain of its corresponding 

membership, registration and 

qualification requirements rules in part 

in response to the FINRA Rule 

Changes,8 and also in order to facilitate 

the adoption of similar membership, 

registration and qualification rules by 

Nasdaq’s affiliated exchanges. In that 

rule change, Nasdaq amended its Rule 

1050 (now General 9, Section 51) to 

remove references to NASD Rules 2711, 

1050, 1022 and 1120 and it replaced 

those references with FINRA Rules 

1120, 1250, and 2241.9 The reference to 

FINRA Rule 1120 was in error because, 

at that time, FINRA Rule 1120 did not 

exist. NASD Rule 1120 was adopted as 

FINRA Rule 1250.10 Also, the references 

to FINRA Rule 1250 were in error 

because FINRA Rule 1250 was 

renumbered as FINRA Rule 1240.11 Of 

note, NASD Rules 1050 (Registration of 

Research Analysts) and 1022 (Categories 

of Principal Registrations) were 

superseded by the FINRA Rule 1200 

Series but this was not reflected within 

SR–FINRA–2018–078 [sic].12

At this time, Nasdaq proposes to 

remove the incorrect references to 

FINRA Rules 1120 and 1250 as such 

rules do not exist. The Exchange 

proposes to update the reference to 

FINRA Rule 1250 with a reference to 

current FINRA Rule 1240. The Exchange 

also proposes to add references to 

FINRA Rules 1220(a)(6), (a)(14), and 

(b)(6), because they correspond to 

previous NASD Rules 1050 and 1022. 

These changes would reflect the current 

FINRA rules relating to research 

analysts. 

The Exchange proposes to amend 

General 9, Section 10, 

Recommendations to Customers
