II. Discussion 

The NRC is issuing draft NUREG/CR– 

7209, ‘‘A Compendium of Spent Fuel 

Transportation Package Response 

Analyses to Severe Fire Accident 

Scenarios.’’ This report summarizes 

studies of truck and rail transport 

accidents involving fires, relative to 

regulatory requirements for shipment of 

commercial spent nuclear fuel (SNF). 

The fire accident scenarios were based 

on the most severe historical railway 

and roadway fires in terms of their 

potential impact on SNF containers. The 

accident scenarios that were analyzed 

include one railway tunnel fire, two 

roadway tunnel fires, and one roadway 

enclosed overpass fire. The combined 

summary of this work demonstrates that 

the current NRC regulations and 

packaging standards provide a high 

degree of protection to the public health 

and safety against release of radioactive 

material in real-world transportation 

accidents, were such events to involve 

SNF containers. 

The purpose of this notice is to 

provide the public with an opportunity 

to review and provide comments on 

draft NUREG/CR–7209. Any comments 

received will be considered in the final 

version or subsequent revisions of the 

draft NUREG/CR.

I. Background 

Under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently 

submitted a request for renewal of an 

existing collection of information to 

OMB for review entitled, ‘‘Cooperation 

with States at Commercial Nuclear 

Power Plants and Other Nuclear 

Production and Utilization Facilities, 

Policy Statement.’’ The NRC hereby 

informs potential respondents that an 

agency may not conduct or sponsor, and 

that a person is not required to respond 

to, a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

The NRC published a Federal 

Register notice with a 60-day comment 

period on this information collection on 

August 26, 2015 (80 FR 51847). 

1. The title of the information 

collection: Cooperation with States at 

Commercial Nuclear Power Plants and 

Other Nuclear Production and 

Utilization Facilities, Policy Statement. 

2. OMB approval number: 3150–0163. 

3. Type of submission: Extension. 

4. The form number if applicable: N/ 

A. 

5. How often the collection is required 

or requested: On occasion, when a State 

or Tribe wishes to observe NRC 

inspection or perform inspections for 

the NRC or when a State or Tribe wishes 

to negotiate an agreement to observe or 

perform inspections. States with an 

agreement and State Resident Engineer 

have both regular reporting and 

occasion-specific reporting. 

6. Who will be required or asked to 

respond: States and Tribes interested in 

observing or performing inspections.

2012) (‘‘RPI Approval Order’’) (SR–BYX–2012–019). 

4A ‘‘User’’ is defined in BYX Rule 1.5(cc) as any 

member or sponsored participant of the Exchange 

who is authorized to obtain access to the System. 

5A ‘‘Retail Order’’ is defined in Rule 11.24(a)(2) 

as an agency order that originates from a natural 

person and is submitted to the Exchange by a RMO, 

provided that no change is made to the terms of the 

order with respect to price or side of market and 

the order does not originate from a trading 

algorithm or any computerized methodology. See 

Rule 11.24(a)(2). 

6The term Protected Quotation is defined in BYX 

Rule 1.5(t) and has the same meaning as is set forth 

in Regulation NMS Rule 600(b)(58). The terms 

Protected NBB and Protected NBO are defined in 

BYX Rule 1.5(s). The Protected NBB is the bestpriced protected bid and the Protected NBO is the 

best-priced protected offer. Generally, the Protected 

NBB and Protected NBO and the national best bid 

(‘‘NBB’’) and national best offer (‘‘NBO’’, together 

with the NBB, the ‘‘NBBO’’) will be the same. 

However, a market center is not required to route 

to the NBB or NBO if that market center is subject 

to an exception under Regulation NMS Rule 

611(b)(1) or if such NBB or NBO is otherwise not 

available for an automatic execution. In such case, 

the Protected NBB or Protected NBO would be the 

best-priced protected bid or offer to which a market 

center must route interest pursuant to Regulation 

NMS Rule 611.

10. Abstract: States and Tribes are 

involved and interested in monitoring 

the safety status of nuclear power plants 

and radioactive materials. This 

involvement is, in part, in response to 

the States’ and Tribes’ public health and 

safety responsibilities and, in part, in 

response to their citizens’ desire to 

become more knowledgeable about the 

safety of nuclear power plants and 

radioactive materials. States have 

identified NRC inspections as one 

possible source of knowledge for their 

personnel regarding plant and materials 

licensee activities, and the NRC, 

through the policy statement on 

Cooperation with States, has been 

amenable to accommodating the States’ 

needs in this regard. Additionally, the 

NRC has been able to accommodate 

Tribal interests in the same way. The 

NRC has also entered into reimbursable 

Agreements with certain States under 

Section 274i of the Act, as amended, to 

employ their resources to conduct 

radioactive materials security 

inspections against NRC Orders.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; BATS

Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed 

Rule Change to Rule 11.24, Retail Price 

Improvement Program, To Extend the 

Pilot Period 

January 22, 2016. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 

‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on January 

12, 2016, BATS Y-Exchange, Inc. (the 

‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘BYX’’) filed with the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘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 the Substance 

of the Proposed Rule Change 

The Exchange filed a proposal to 

extend the pilot period for the 

Exchange’s Retail Price Improvement 

(‘‘RPI’’) Program (the ‘‘Program’’), which 

is currently set to expire on January 31, 

2016, for 6 months, to expire on July 31, 

2016. 

The text of the proposed rule change 

is available at the Exchange’s Web site 

at www.batstrading.com, 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 parts of such 

statements. 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

In November 2012, the Commission 

approved the RPI Program on a pilot 

basis.3 The Program is designed to 

attract retail order flow to the Exchange, 

and allows such order flow to receive 

potential price improvement. The 

Program is currently limited to trades 

occurring at prices equal to or greater 

than $1.00 per share. Under the 

Program, all Exchange Users 4 are 

permitted to provide potential price 

improvement for Retail Orders 5 in the 

form of non-displayed interest that is 

better than the national best bid that is 

a Protected Quotation (‘‘Protected 

NBB’’) or the national best offer that is 

a Protected Quotation (‘‘Protected 

NBO’’, and together with the Protected 

NBB, the ‘‘Protected NBBO’’).6

The Program was approved by the 

Commission on a pilot basis running 

one-year from the date of 

implementation.7 The Commission 

approved the Program on November 27, 

2012.8 The Exchange implemented the 

Program on January 11, 2013, and has 

extended the pilot period two times.9

The pilot period for the Program is 

scheduled to end on January 31, 2016. 

Proposal to Extend the Operation of the 

Program 

The Exchange established the RPI 

Program in an attempt to attract retail 

order flow to the Exchange by 

potentially providing price 

improvement to such order flow. The 

Exchange believes that the Program 

promotes competition for retail order 

flow by allowing Exchange members to 

submit Retail Price Improvement Orders 

(‘‘RPI Orders’’) 10 to interact with Retail 

Orders. Such competition has the ability 

to promote efficiency by facilitating the 

price discovery process and generating
