    MIAX Sapphire, LLC, a self-regulatory organization, has proposed changes to its fee schedule for three specific market data feeds: MIAX Sapphire Top of Market, MIAX Sapphire Complex Top of Market, and MIAX Sapphire Liquidity Feed. These fees will initially be waived for six months to encourage market participation. The proposed fees are structured to cover the costs associated with providing these data feeds and are intended to be competitive with fees charged by other exchanges for similar services. The proposal maintains that the fees are fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory, applying consistently to all subscribers based on their use and distribution of the data.

    Simple Explanation

    MIAX Sapphire is planning to charge new fees for some special financial data services, but for now, they're letting people use them for free for six months to encourage more people to join in and use them. The idea is to make sure these fees are fair and similar to what other places charge, but they aren't very clear about how exactly they came up with these numbers or what might change in the future.

The SEC is seeking comments on this proposal to ensure transparency and fairness in the setting of fees.

    Simple Explanation

    MIAX PEARL wants to charge people more money each month to use their special fast internet connections. They say these new fees will help them keep their internet working well, but some people are worried it might be too expensive for smaller businesses, and the rules are hard to understand.

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plans to submit a request to renew its WaterSense Program, which promotes water-efficient products and practices, to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval. Public comments are being sought on various aspects of the information collection before submission. WaterSense partners, including manufacturers and retailers, will be involved voluntarily, with the estimated total burden over three years expected to be 6,830 hours annually, at a cost of $598,527 per year. Recent program changes have reportedly reduced the estimated burden and operational costs.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA wants to keep making sure that products (like faucets and toilets) use less water. They're asking people for thoughts on this plan, which will take some extra work, but they've worked hard to make it simpler and less costly to do.
