‘‘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 proposes to amend
Rule 7034 regarding co-location fees for
additional power and cable options. The
text of the proposed rule change is
available at https://nasdaqomxbx.
cchwallstreet.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
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES6
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend
Rule 7034 regarding co-location fees for
additional power and cable options. The
Exchange proposes to offer a new choice
of a pair of power receptacles (60 amps
208 volts), which would provide enough
power for a high density cabinet. The
proposed fee for installation of the pair
of the 60 amp 208 volt power
receptacles is $3,000. There are ten
other power choices already available
and this new receptacle choice is being
offered as more clients are requesting
higher power density cabinets.
Additionally, the Exchange proposes to
offer a new choice of patch cable,
twinaxial (otherwise known as
‘‘Twinax’’) cables, in lengths of one
meter to five meters. The proposed fee
for the Twinax cables is $34 + $10 per
meter. The Exchange is making the
Twinax cables available as a
convenience to customers, and notes
that use of Exchange-provided patch

Jkt 223001
cords is completely voluntary, and that
such patch cords may be freely obtained
from other vendors for use by customers
in the datacenter.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with
the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,3
in general, and with Section 6(b)(4) of
the Act,4 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 or system
which the Exchange operates or
controls.
The Exchange operates in a highly
competitive market, in which exchanges
offer co-location services as a means to
facilitate the trading activities of those
members who believe that co-location
enhances the efficiency of their trading.
Accordingly, fees charged for colocation services are constrained by the
active competition for the order flow of
such members. If a particular exchange
charges excessive fees for co-location
services, affected members will opt to
terminate their co-location arrangements
with that exchange, and adopt a
possible range of alternative strategies,
including co-locating with a different
exchange, placing their servers in a
physically proximate location outside
the exchange’s data center, or pursuing
trading strategies not dependent upon
co-location. Accordingly, the exchange
charging excessive fees would stand to
lose not only co-location revenues but
also revenues associated with the
execution of orders routed to it by
affected members. The Exchange
believes that this competitive dynamic
imposes powerful restraints on the
ability of any exchange to charge
unreasonable fees for co-location
services.
It should be noted, however, that the
costs associated with operating a colocation facility, like the costs of
operating the electronic trading facility
with which the co-location facility is
associated, are primarily fixed costs,
and in the case of co-location are
primarily the costs of renting or owning
data center space and retaining a staff of
technical personnel. Accordingly, the
Exchange establishes a range of colocation fees with the goal of covering
these fixed costs, covering less
significant marginal costs, such as the
cost of electricity, and providing the
Exchange a profit to the extent the costs
are covered. Because fixed costs must be
allocated among all customers, the
U.S.C. 78f.
4 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
Frm 00113
Fmt 4703
Exchange’s fee schedule reflects an
effort to assess a range of relatively low
fees for specific aspects of co-location
services, which, in the aggregate, will
allow the Exchange to cover its costs
and to the extent the costs are covered,
allow the Exchange to earn a profit.
In the case of the proposed fees for a
pair of the 60 amp power receptacles
and the Twinax cables, the proposed
fees cover the marginal costs of
establishing and maintaining the
electrical installation, the costs of
obtaining the cable equipment from the
Exchange’s vendors, and allow the
Exchange to earn a profit; [sic] to the
extent the costs are covered.
Accordingly, the Exchange believes that
it is reasonable to use fees assessed on
this basis as a means to recoup a share
of fixed costs associated with the
proposed power and cable options,
provide a convenience for the customers
and to the extent the costs are covered,
provide a profit to the Exchange.
The Exchange also notes that the fees
charged by the Exchange are generally
lower or comparable to prices charged
by other exchanges or unregulated
vendors for similar services. For
instance, NYSE Arca, Inc. charges for
the power installation by including it in
a higher install for the co-location
cabinet.5 With respect to the proposed
fees for Twinax cables, the fees charged
by the Exchange are generally lower or
comparable to prices charged by
unregulated vendors for similar
products. See https://www.google.com/
products/catalog?hl=en&biw=1259&

cid=15023972358025904938&sa=X&
ei=8tDfTaOwIcHagQeVu6DUCg&
ved=0CDcQ8wIwAw#.
Furthermore, because the proposed
services are available to all members
through optional co-location services,
the Exchange’s fees for proposed colocation services are reasonable and
equitably allocated across the
membership. All co-location customers
are offered the same range of products
and services and there is no
differentiation among customers with
regard to the fees charged for a
particular product, service, or piece of
equipment.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will result in
any burden on competition that is not

I. Introduction
On May 9, 2011, BATS Exchange, Inc.
(the‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘BATS’’) filed with
the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant
to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities

Commission received no comment

This order approves the proposed rule
change.
II. Description
First, the Exchange proposes to
change its order handling procedures to
allow both Non-Displayed Orders 4 and
orders subject to price sliding that are
not executable at their most aggressive
price to be executed in the manner and
under the circumstances described
below.5 Second, the Exchange proposes
to modify the Exchange’s rules to make
clear that an order subject to ‘‘NMS
price sliding’’ 6 can be ranked at the
same price as an order displayed on the
other side of the BATS Book,7 although
temporarily not executable at that price
and displayed at one minimum price
variation less aggressive than its price.
The Exchange’s first proposed change
noted above, amending BATS Rules
11.9 and 11.13, is intended to address
two specific scenarios that currently
exist on the Exchange: (1) NonDisplayed Orders posted opposite samepriced displayed orders and (2) orders
subject to price sliding under BATS
Rule 11.9(g) that are ranked at a price
equal to an opposite-side displayed
order (collectively ‘‘Resting Orders’’).8
These two scenarios can occur when an
order on either side of the market is a
BATS Post Only Order.9 Consistent with
the Exchange’s current rule regarding
priority of orders, BATS Rule 11.12,
these Resting Orders cannot be executed
by the Exchange pursuant to BATS Rule
11.13 when such orders would be
executed at prices equal to displayed
orders on the opposite side of the
market (the ‘‘locking price’’) because if
the incoming orders were allowed to
execute against such Resting Orders at
4 BATS Rule 11.9(c)(11) defines a Non-Displayed
Order as ‘‘a market or limit order that is not
displayed on the Exchange.’’
5 The reference to the most ‘‘aggressive’’ price
means for bids the highest price the User is willing
to pay, and for offers the lowest price at which the
User is willing to sell.
6 For bids, this means that a price slid order is
displayed at one minimum price variation less than
the current national best offer (‘‘NBO’’), and for
offers, this means that a price slid order is
displayed at one minimum price variation more
than the current national best bid (‘‘NBB’’). See
BATS Rule 11.9(g)(1).
7 As defined in BATS Rule 1.5(e), the BATS Book
is ‘‘the System’s electronic file of orders.’’
8 See Notice, supra note 3.
9 See id. As defined in BATS Rule 11.9(c)(6), a
BATS Post Only Order is ‘‘[a]n order that is to be
ranked and executed on the Exchange pursuant to
Rule 11.12 and Rule 11.13(a)(1) or cancelled, as
appropriate, without routing away to another
trading center except that the order will not remove
liquidity from the BATS Book.’’ Accordingly, a
BATS Post Only Order does not remove liquidity,
but posts to the BATS Book to the extent
permissible.

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 proposes to amend Rule 7034 regarding co-location fees
for additional power and cable options. The Exchange proposes to offer
a new choice of a pair of power receptacles (60 amps 208 volts), which
would provide enough power for a high density cabinet. The proposed fee

is $3,000. There are ten other power choices already available and this

The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,\3\ in general, and with
Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\4\ 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 or

The Exchange operates in a highly competitive market, in which
exchanges offer co-location services as a means to facilitate the
trading activities of those members who believe that co-location

unreasonable fees for co-location services.
It should be noted, however, that the costs associated with
operating a co-location facility, like the costs of operating the
electronic trading facility with which the co-location facility is

for the co-location cabinet.\5\ With respect to the proposed fees for
Twinax cables, the fees charged by the Exchange are generally lower or
comparable to prices charged by unregulated vendors for similar
products. See https://www.google.com/products/

70048 (November 16, 2010) (SR-NYSEArca-2010-100) [sic].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Furthermore, because the proposed services are available to all
members through optional co-location services, the Exchange's fees for
proposed co-location services are reasonable and equitably allocated
across the membership. All co-location customers are offered the same
range of products and services and there is no differentiation among
customers with regard to the fees charged for a particular product,
service, or piece of equipment.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
result in any burden on competition that is not

amended.

The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
