The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) submitted a proposed rule change to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to adjust its fee structure. The proposal introduces a fee of $0.0030 per share for orders using the new Midpoint Ping routing strategy. This strategy helps direct trades to various NYSE-affiliated exchanges to find the best prices, but it is entirely optional for member organizations. The proposed fee change aims to balance competition and improve member organizations' access to liquidity in the stock market.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), part of the Department of Transportation, announced a new study to examine how Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Keep Assist (LKA) systems help drivers respond better.

NHTSA will later release a report with their findings.

Comments are due by June 9, 2025, and can be submitted via the regulations.gov website.

The Department of Commerce is proposing to continue its information collection via the Business Trends and Outlook Survey (BTOS). This survey helps gather detailed, frequent, and timely data on U.S. economic conditions and trends. With a target of 795,000 respondents, the survey will be conducted biweekly and seeks to include more multi-unit businesses for comprehensive economic representation. The department is also revising the survey to focus on core questions and plans to extend it for another three years, along with a possibility of including updated questions on artificial intelligence. Public comments are invited within 30 days on the proposed collection.

The Department of Commerce, alongside the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is seeking public comments on a proposed information collection activity. This involves a new registration form for workshops focused on the safe handling, release, and identification of protected species in the Hawaii and American Samoa longline fisheries. Participation in these workshops is essential for vessel operators to comply with regulations and maintain their fishing permits. The public has 60 days to comment on the necessity and impact of this information collection process before it is formally submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval.
