The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange’s Web site at www.ise.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 59 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12).

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 purpose of the proposed rule change is to eliminate third party developer fees from the Schedule of Fees. Currently, the Schedule of Fees contains third party developer fees, which were previously charged for third party developer access to the ISE T7 test environment. Specifically, the Schedule of Fees includes the following fees for third party developers: (1) A $1,000 per month one time set-up fee, and (2) a $1,000 per month usage fee. With the migration of the Exchange to Nasdaq INET technology,3 which was completed on July 31, 2017, and the upcoming decommissioning of the T7 trading system, including the test environment, the Exchange no longer charges these third party developer fees. The Exchange therefore proposes to remove these fees from the Schedule of Fees. The Exchange believes that removing these fees from the Schedule of Fees will reduce member confusion about services offered by the Exchange, and the fees charged for those services, as with the migration to Nasdaq INET no services are currently offered that could incur these charges. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,4 in general, and furthers the objectives of Sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,5 in particular, in that it provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among members and issuers and other persons using any facility, and is not designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers. The Exchange believes that the proposed fee change is reasonable, equitable, and not unfairly discriminatory as it eliminates third party developer fees that are no 3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80432 (April 11, 2017), 82 FR 18191 (April 17, 2017) (SR– ISE–2017–03). 4 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). 5 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5). PO 00000 Frm 00082 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 44013 longer charged with the migration of the Exchange’s trading system to Nasdaq INET technology. As explained above, the Exchange completed its migration to Nasdaq INET on July 31, 2017 and therefore does not provide access to the ISE T7 test facility that was the subject of this fee. Since the Exchange no longer provides this service, the Exchange believes that removing the associated fee from the Schedule of Fees will reduce member confusion about services offered by the Exchange, and the fees charged for those services. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange is removing outdated third party developer fees from the Schedule of Fees as the related services will no long be offered with the completed migration of the Exchange to Nasdaq INET. As such, the Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will have any significant impact on competition. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others No written comments were either solicited or received. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act,6 and Rule 19b–4(f)(2) 7 thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is: (i) Necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the protection of investors; or (iii) otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved. IV. Solicitation of Comments Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act. 6 15 7 17 E:\FR\FM\20SEN1.SGM U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii).

Purpose The Exchange proposes to amend its Fees Schedule to correct an inadvertent marking error made to the Exhibit 5 in a previous rule filing.

Particularly, prior to filing SR–CBOE–2017–011, Footnote 6 included the statement that ‘‘. . . the marketing fee shall not apply to DJX, MXEA, MXEF, MNX, NDX, XSP or Underlying Symbol List A (34) excluding binaries options.’’ 7 The Exhibit 5 filed in SR–CBOE–2017–011 however, inadvertently left out the reference to ‘‘MXEA, MXEF, MNX, NDX’’ in that same sentence. The Exchange notes that it was not its intention to start including those products in the Marketing Fee program and also notes that no such change was otherwise referenced or implied in the 19b–4 of SR–CBOE–2017–011 or any other filing since then.8 Rather it was an inadvertent mistake that the Exchange seeks to correct. Accordingly, the Exchange proposes to add back the 6 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80003 (February 9, 2017), 82 FR 10846 (February 15, 2017) (SR–CBOE–2017–011). 7 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 76923 (January 15, 2016), 81 FR 3841 (January 22, 2016) (SR–CBOE–2016–002), which rule filing was the last rule filing before SR–CBOE–2017–011 to amend Footnote 6 of the Fees Schedule. 8 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80003 (February 9, 2017), 82 FR 10846 (February 15, 2017) (SR–CBOE–2017–011).

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to eliminate third party developer fees from 
the Schedule of Fees.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's 
Web site at www.ise.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 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 purpose of the proposed rule change is to eliminate third party 
developer fees from the Schedule of Fees. Currently, the Schedule of 
Fees contains third party developer fees, which were previously charged 
for third party developer access to the ISE T7 test environment. 
Specifically, the Schedule of Fees includes the following fees for 
third party developers: (1) A $1,000 per month one time set-up fee, and 
(2) a $1,000 per month usage fee. With the migration of the Exchange to 
Nasdaq INET technology,\3\ which was completed on July 31, 2017, and 
the upcoming decommissioning of the T7 trading system, including the 
test environment, the Exchange no longer charges these third party 
developer fees. The Exchange therefore proposes to remove these fees 
from the Schedule of Fees. The Exchange believes that removing these 
fees from the Schedule of Fees will reduce member confusion about 
services offered by the Exchange, and the fees charged for those 
services, as with the migration to Nasdaq INET no services are 
currently offered that could incur these charges.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80432 (April 11, 
2017), 82 FR 18191 (April 17, 2017) (SR-ISE-2017-03).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 
6(b) of the Act,\4\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Sections 
6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,\5\ in particular, in that it provides 
for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other 
charges among members and issuers and other persons using any facility, 
and is not designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, 
issuers, brokers, or dealers. The Exchange believes that the proposed 
fee change is reasonable, equitable, and not unfairly discriminatory as 
it eliminates third party developer fees that are no longer charged 
with the migration of the Exchange's trading system to Nasdaq INET 
technology. As explained above, the Exchange completed its migration to 
Nasdaq INET on July 31, 2017 and therefore does not provide access to 
the ISE T7 test facility that was the subject of this fee. Since the 
Exchange no longer provides this service, the Exchange believes that 
removing the associated fee from the Schedule of Fees will reduce 
member confusion about services offered by the Exchange, and the fees 
charged for those services.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will 
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate 
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange is removing 
outdated third party developer fees from the Schedule of Fees as the 
related services will no long be offered with the completed migration 
of the Exchange to Nasdaq INET. As such, the Exchange does not believe 
that the proposed rule change will have any significant impact on 
competition.

Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act,\6\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) \7\ thereunder. At 
any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the 
Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it 
appears to the Commission that such action is: (i) Necessary or 
appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the protection of 
investors; or (iii) otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the 
Act. If the Commission takes such action, the Commission shall 
institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule should be
