SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
I. Abstract
NASA’s founding legislation, the
Space Act of 1958, as amended, directs
the agency to expand human knowledge
of Earth and space phenomena and to
preserve the role of the United States as
a leader in aeronautics, space science,
and technology. The NASA Office of
STEM Engagement administers the
agency’s national education activities in
support of the Space Act, including the
performance measurement and
evaluation of educational projects and
programs. This generic clearance will
allow the NASA Office of STEM
Engagement to continue to test and pilot
with subject matter experts, secondary
students, higher education students,
educators, and interested parties new
and existing information collection
forms and assessment instruments for
the purposes of improvement and
establishing validity and reliability
characteristics of the forms and
instruments. Existing information
collections include the NASA Intern
Survey (Retrospective Survey), NASA
Internship Applicants and Awardees
Survey (Retrospective Survey), STEM
Challenges Impact Surveys (Educator
Feedback Retrospective Survey), STEM
Challenges Impact Surveys (Parent
Survey), and STEM Challenges Impact
Surveys (Student Retrospective Survey).
Forms and instruments to be tested
include program application forms,
customer satisfaction questionnaires,
focus group protocols, and project
activity survey instruments.
Methodological testing will include
focus group discussions, pilot surveys to
test new individual question items as
well as the complete form and
instrument. In addition, test-retest and
similar protocols will be used to
determine reliability characteristics of
the forms and instruments.
Methodological testing will assure that
forms and instruments accurately and
consistently collect and measure what
they are intended to measure and that
data collection items are interpreted
precisely and consistently, all towards
the goal of accurate Agency reporting
while improving the execution of NASA
STEM Engagement activities.
II. Methods of Collection
Electronic, paper, and focus group
interviews.
III. Data

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION
[Release No. 34–91497; File No. SR–
PEARL–2021–15]
Self-Regulatory Organizations; MIAX
PEARL, LLC; Notice of Filing and
Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed
Rule Change To Amend the MIAX Pearl
Equities Fee Schedule
April 7, 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 March 31,
2021, MIAX PEARL, LLC (‘‘MIAX Pearl’’
or ‘‘Exchange’’) 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
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 is filing a proposal to
amend the fee schedule applicable for
MIAX Pearl Equities, an equities trading
facility of the Exchange (the ‘‘Fee
Schedule’’).
3
The proposed changes will
become effective on April 1, 2021.
The text of the proposed rule change
is available on the Exchange’s website at
http://www.miaxoptions.com/rule-
filings/pearl at MIAX Pearl’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
The Exchange currently charges
different rates for orders in Tapes A, B,
and C securities priced at or above $1.00
that remove liquidity from the MIAX
Pearl Equities Book.
4
For securities
priced at or above $1.00, the Exchange
currently charges a fee of $0.0028 per
share for orders that remove liquidity in
Tapes A and C securities and $0.0027
per share for orders that remove
liquidity in Tape B securities. The
Exchange now proposes to decrease the
fee to remove liquidity in securities
priced at or above $1.00 to $0.0025 per
share for Tapes A, B, and C securities.
5
With the proposed change, the
Exchange will charge the same $0.0025
per share fee for orders in Tape A, B,
and C securities priced at or above $1.00
that remove liquidity from the MIAX
Pearl Equities Book.
The Exchange operates in a highly
competitive market in which market
participants can readily direct order
flow to competing venues if they deem
fee levels at a particular venue to be
excessive or rebates/incentives to be
insufficient. More specifically, the
Exchange is only one of several equities
venues (including both registered
exchanges and various alternative
trading systems) to which market
participants may direct their order flow
and execute their trades. Indeed, equity
trading is currently dispersed across 16
exchanges,
6
31 alternative trading
systems,
7
and numerous broker-dealer
internalizers and wholesalers, all
competing for order flow. Based on
publicly available information, no single
registered equities exchange currently
has more than approximately 20% of
total market share.
8
Thus, in such a low-
concentrated and highly competitive
market, no single equities trading venue
possesses significant pricing power in
the execution of trades, and, the
Exchange currently represents a very
small percentage of the overall market.
The purpose of this proposed change
is for business and competitive reasons.
As a new entrant into the equities
market, the Exchange initially adopted a
fee of $0.0028 per share for orders that
remove liquidity in securities priced at
or above $1.00.
9
The Exchange later
delineated the fee for orders that remove
liquidity in Tapes A and C from the fee
for orders that remove liquidity in Tape
B for securities priced at or above $1.00
from the MIAX Pearl Equities Book.
With that proposal, the Exchange
decreased the fee for orders that remove
liquidity in Tape B securities priced at
or above $1.00 from $0.0028 to $0.0027
per share. The purpose of this change
was to target liquidity in Tape B
securities as a means to encourage
market participants to enter liquidity
removing orders on the Exchange,
thereby increasing the execution
opportunities for the liquidity adding
orders resting on the MIAX Pearl
Equities Book.
