SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE

[Release No. 34–66148; File No. SR–C2–
2012–001]
Self-Regulatory Organizations; C2
Options Exchange, Incorporated;
Notice of Filing and Immediate
Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule
Change To Amend the Fees Schedule
January 13, 2012.
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2
notice is hereby given that on January 5,
2012, the C2 Options Exchange,
Incorporated (the ‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘C2’’)
filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ‘‘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 the
Fees Schedule. The text of the proposed
rule change is available on the
Exchange’s Web site (https://
www.cboe.org/legal), at the Exchange’s
Office of the Secretary, and at the
Commission.
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
self-regulatory organization 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 those 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 parts of such
statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend its
Fees Schedule to state that CMI and FIX
connectivity charges will be charged on
a per-Login ID basis. Firms may access
C2 via either a CMI Client Application

Server or a FIX Port, depending on how
their systems are configured. Currently,
the Exchange assesses a fee for each CMI
Client Application Server or FIX Port.
However, a firm may have many users,
using different Login IDs, accessing the
same CMI Client Application Server or
FIX Port, allowing the firm to only pay
the monthly fee once. Alternatively, a
firm may use the same Login ID to
access different CMI Client Application
Servers or FIX Ports, thereby paying
multiple times for the same Login ID.
On December 20, 2011, the Exchange
filed to amend its connectivity fees
(among other fees) in order to recoup
some of the costs from recent
investments made to upgrade the CMI
Client Application Servers and FIX
Ports.3 In that filing, the Exchange
amended such connectivity fees to
amounts that kept them equivalent to
those offered on the Chicago Board
Options Exchange, Incorporated
(‘‘CBOE’’). CBOE, however, assesses
CMI and FIX fees on a per-Login ID
basis.4 The Exchange had intended to
ensure that C2’s CMI and FIX fees were
to be assessed on a per-Login ID basis
as well, but inadvertently failed to make
such modifications. Without assessing
such fees on a per-Login ID basis, the
situations described above, wherein a
firm may have many users, using
different Login IDs, accessing the same
CMI Client Application Server or FIX
Port, allowing the firm to only pay the
monthly fee once, and another firm may
use the same Login ID to access different
CMI Client Application Servers or FIX
Ports, thereby paying multiple times for
the same Login ID, may occur. Further,
without assessing such fees on a perLogin ID basis, the Exchange will not be
able to recoup the costs of the
investments to upgrade the CMI Client
Application Servers and FIX Ports. As
such, the Exchange now proposes to
assess CMI Client Application Server
and FIX Port costs on a per-Login ID
basis.
2. Statutory Basis
The proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,5
in general, and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(4) 6 of the Act in particular,
in that it is designed to provide for the
equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees, and other charges among C2
Trading Permit Holders and other
persons using Exchange facilities.
Amending the connectivity fees so that

they are assessed on a per-Login ID basis
is reasonable because this will allow the
Exchange to recoup expenditures to
upgrade the connectivity equipment,
and because this eliminates
circumstances wherein a firm may have
many users, using different Login IDs,
accessing the same CMI Client
Application Server or FIX Port, allowing
the firm to only pay the monthly fee
once, and another firm may use the
same Login ID to access different CMI
Client Application Servers or FIX Ports,
thereby paying multiple times for the
same Login ID. Amending the
connectivity fees so that they are
assessed on a per-Login ID basis is
equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory because such fees will be
assessed equally to all who use the CMI
Client Application Servers or FIX Ports,
and because CBOE currently assesses
such connectivity fees on a per-Login ID
basis, and in the same amounts as the
C2 connectivity fees.7
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
C2 does not believe that the proposed
rule change will impose any burden on
competition not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
No written comments were solicited
or received with respect to the proposed
rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The proposed rule change is
designated by the Exchange as
establishing or changing a due, fee, or
other charge, thereby qualifying for
effectiveness on filing pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 8 and
subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b–4 9
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 necessary or appropriate in the
public interest, for the protection of
investors, or otherwise in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act.
IV. Solicitation of Comments
