Commission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) has issued for public
comment a draft guide in the agency’s
Regulatory Guide Series. This series has
been developed to describe and make
available to the public such information
as methods that are acceptable to the
NRC staff for implementing specific
parts of the NRC’s regulations,
techniques that the staff uses in
evaluating specific problems or
postulated accidents, and data that the
staff needs in its review of applications
for permits and licenses.
The draft regulatory guide, entitled
‘‘Reporting of Safeguards Events,’’ is
temporarily identified by its task
number, DG–5019, which should be
mentioned in all related
correspondence.
This draft regulatory guide provides
an approach acceptable to the NRC staff
for use by licensees for reporting of
security events. In 10 CFR part 73,
‘‘Physical Protection of Plants and
Materials,’’ Section 73.71 requires
licensees to report to the Operations
Center of the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) or to record in a log
certain security events. Appendix G,
‘‘Reportable Safeguards Events,’’ to 10
PO 00000 Frm 00109 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\06JYN1.SGM
CFR part 73 (Appendix G) describes
reporting requirements in detail.
Appendix E to 10 CFR part 50
(Appendix E), ‘‘Emergency Planning
and Preparedness for Production and
Utilization Facilities,’’ provides more
detailed information for emergency
planning and preparedness. The events
to be reported or recorded are those that
represent actual or potential threats,
suspicious activities, external attacks, or
internal tampering with equipment that
threaten or affect safe plant operations
or effective security operations. The
events to be recorded are those that
affect or lessen the effectiveness of the
security systems, components, and
procedures as established by security
regulations and the licensee’s approved
security plans.
Proposed revisions to 10 CFR 73.71
included two new requirements for
power reactors: (1) The reporting within
15 minutes after discovery of an actual
or imminent threat against a facility,
and (2) the reporting of suspicious
surveillance activities or attempts at
access, both of which are addressed in
this guide.
II. Further Information
The NRC staff is soliciting comments
on Draft Regulatory Guide DG–5019.
Comments may be accompanied by
relevant information or supporting data,
and should mention DG–5019 in the
subject line. Comments submitted in
writing or in electronic form will be
made available to the public in their

Documents Access and Management
System (ADAMS). Personal information
will not be removed from your
comments. You may submit comments

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION
[Release No. 34–55983; File No. SR–Amex–
2007–68]
Self-Regulatory Organizations;
American Stock Exchange LLC; Notice
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness
of Proposed Rule Change To Modify
the Fees Charged to Member
Organizations for Transactions in
Exchange-Traded Funds and To
Implement a Revenue Sharing Program
for Specialists in Exchange-Traded
Funds
June 29, 2007.
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 28,
2007, the American Stock Exchange LLC
(‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘Amex’’) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule
change as described in Items I, II, and
III below, which Items have been
substantially 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: (1) Amend
the Exchange Traded Funds (‘‘ETFs’’)
and Trust Issued Receipts Fee Schedule
(‘‘Fee Schedule’’) to revise various
transaction fees; and (2) adopt a revenue
sharing program for specialists and
registered traders in ETFs. The text of
the proposed rule change is available on
the Exchange’s Web site (http://
www.amex.com), at the Exchange’s
principal office, 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
a. Charges Assessed for Transactions
in Customer Accounts
The Exchange proposes to revise the
fees it charges to members for
transactions in customer accounts.3
Currently, Amex transaction charges for
ETFs are assessed for customer accounts
monthly on a per-share basis with the
application of various caps and
discounts. The Exchange now proposes
to: (1) Decrease the transaction charge
for customers from $0.0030 to $0.0023
(given the lower rate, the $100 per
transaction cap will result in transaction
charges being assessed only on the first
43,478 shares); (2) eliminate the waiver
of fees for electronically entered orders
of 2,400 shares or less; (3) establish a
flat rate of $0.0007 per share (or seven
cents per 100 shares) for clearing
charges for orders routed to and
executed at another market center; (4)
establish a flat rate of $0.0030 per share
for orders routed to and executed at
another market center; 4 and (5)
establish a fee of 0.3% of the total dollar
value of the transaction for ETFs trading
with a share price of less than $1.00.5
b. Transaction Charges for Specialists.
Currently, ETF specialists and
registered traders are assessed a
transaction charge of $0.0003 per share
(or 3 cents per 100 shares) for all shares
executed per month. In addition,
transaction charges for ETF specialists
are capped at $400,000 per month.
There are no caps or discounts applied
to transaction charges for ETF registered
traders. In conjunction with the revenue
sharing program described below and a
prohibition on specialist commissions,
which is proposed by means of a
separate filing 6 submitted in
conjunction with this proposal, the
Exchange proposes to eliminate
3 Customer accounts are defined for purposes of
the fee schedule to include accounts for all market
participants except specialists and registered
traders. Therefore, customer accounts (and the fees
charged to them) include members’ off-floor
proprietary accounts, competing market makers on
other exchanges, and other member and non-
member broker-dealers.
4 Orders routed to and executed at another
exchange are charged this fee in lieu of the Amex
transaction charge.
5 Item (5) was corrected to clarify that the
proposed fee change set forth therein applies to
ETFs and not to equities, as the text originally read
in the Exchange’s filing. Telephone Conversation
between Claire McGrath, Senior Vice President and
General Counsel, Exchange, and Nathan Saunders,
Special Counsel, Division of Market Regulation,
Commission, on June 29, 2007.

28, 2007.
