While the Exchange expects to implement the new order type by March 5, 2012, this date is not certain and the Exchange will announce the specific date via an Options Trader Alert. No further changes are proposed. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act 6 in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act 7 in particular, in that it is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, and to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanisms of a free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. The Exchange believes that delaying implementation should not be problematic for its participants, because it is a new order type, and, therefore, the proposal is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade and protect investors and the public interest. 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 not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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 parts of such statements. A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and the Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 1. Purpose The purpose of the proposed rule change is to add reference in Rule 11.13(a)(3)(G) to a variation of the TRIM routing strategy, to be identified as TRIM2. The TRIM routing strategy checks the System for available shares and then routes to destinations on the System routing table. The TRIM routing strategy is focused on seeking execution of orders while minimizing execution costs by routing to certain low cost execution venues on the Exchange’s System routing table. No changes to the functionality of the TRIM routing strategy are proposed by this filing. The Exchange, however, is proposing to offer an additional variation for TRIM routing, TRIM2, which will offer a different routing table to be used pursuant to the TRIM routing strategy. Specifically, TRIM2 will route to fewer venues than the full list of TRIM routing venues. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder that are applicable to a national securities exchange, and, in particular, with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.3 In particular, the proposed change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,4 because it would promote just and equitable principles of trade, remove impediments to, and perfect the mechanism of, a free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, protect investors and the public interest.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change imposes any burden on competition. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on the proposed rule change. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30 days after the date of the filing, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 5 and Rule 19b– 4(f)(6) 6 thereunder. A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b–4(f)(6) normally may not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of filing.7 However, Rule 19b– 4(f)(6)(iii) 8 permits the Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal may become operative immediately upon filing. The Exchange believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay will allow market participants and their customers to benefit from the greater flexibility in routing their orders and minimize their trading costs without further delay. The Exchange notes that the introduction of the additional optional variation of the TRIM routing strategy will not require any systems changes by Exchange Users that would necessitate a delay, as 5 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 7 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). In addition, Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) requires that a self-regulatory organization submit to the Commission written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The Exchange has satisfied this requirement. 8 Id. 6 17 PO 00000 Frm 00077 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 7641 selection of the TRIM2 variation is entirely optional and Exchange Users will not be affected by the change unless they select to use the newly offered variation. The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. Therefore, the Commission designates the proposal as operative upon filing.9 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.

Specifically, both TRIM2 and TRIM3 will route to fewer venues than the full list of TRIM routing venues. 2.

The Exchange is filing with the Commission a proposed rule change
to amend BYX Rule 11.13(a)(3)(G) to add reference to a variation of the

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 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 purpose of the proposed rule change is to add reference in Rule
11.13(a)(3)(G) to a variation of the TRIM routing strategy, to be
identified as TRIM2. The TRIM routing strategy checks the System for
available shares and then routes to destinations on the System routing
table. The TRIM routing strategy is focused on seeking execution of
orders while minimizing execution costs by routing to certain low cost
execution venues on the Exchange's System routing table. No changes to
the functionality of the TRIM routing strategy are proposed by this
filing. The Exchange, however, is proposing to offer an additional
variation for TRIM routing, TRIM2, which will offer a different routing
table to be used pursuant to the TRIM routing strategy. Specifically,
TRIM2 will route to fewer venues than the full list of TRIM routing
venues.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder that
are applicable to a national securities exchange, and, in particular,
with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\3\ In particular, the
proposed change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\4\
because it would promote just and equitable principles of trade, remove
impediments to, and perfect the mechanism of, a free and open market
and a national market system, and, in general, protect investors and
the public interest. The proposed change to introduce an additional
variation of an existing routing strategy will provide market
participants with greater flexibility in routing orders consistent with
Regulation NMS without developing complicated order routing strategies
on their own.

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

The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change imposes
any burden on competition.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on
the proposed rule change.

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

Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days after the date of the filing, or such
shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \5\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \6\
thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\5\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
\6\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally may
not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of filing.\7\
However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \8\ permits the Commission to designate
a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked the
Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal may
become operative immediately upon filing. The Exchange believes that
waiving the 30-day operative delay will allow market participants and
their customers to benefit from the greater flexibility in routing
their orders and minimize their trading costs without further delay.
The Exchange notes that the introduction of the additional optional
variation of the TRIM routing strategy will not require any systems
changes by Exchange Users that would necessitate a delay, as selection
of the TRIM2 variation is entirely optional and Exchange Users will not
be affected by the change unless they select to use the newly offered
variation. The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative
delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public
interest. Therefore, the Commission designates the proposal as
operative upon filing.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\7\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii). In addition, Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) requires that a self-regulatory organization submit to
the Commission written notice of its intent to file the proposed
rule change, along with a brief description and text of the proposed
rule change, at least five business days prior to the date of filing
of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by
the Commission. The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
\8\ Id.
\9\ For purposes only of waiving the operative delay for this
proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact
on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
