Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Request, 13681-13682 [2012-5573]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 45 / Wednesday, March 7, 2012 / Notices 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.4 Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,5 which provides that Exchange rules may provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its Trading Permit Holders and other persons using its facilities. The slight increases to the Maker fees for transactions in securities priced $1 or greater are reasonable because the amount of the increase is minimal, and the amounts of the fees are within the range of Maker fees that have been assessed previously. The slight increases to the Maker fees for transactions in securities priced $1 or greater are equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because the fees will be assessed to all market participants equally. The change to eliminate the Maker for transactions in securities priced less than $1 fee is reasonable because it will allow market participants to no longer have to pay a Maker fee for such transactions. This change is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because it will allow all market participants to avoid paying such a fee. The change to increase the Taker fee for transactions in securities priced less than $1 is reasonable because the new amount of the fee is within the range of fees for similar transactions at other exchanges,6 and is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because it will be assessed to all market participants equally. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES CBOE 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. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the proposed rule change. U.S.C. 78f(b). U.S.C. 78f(b)(4). 6 See footnote 1. 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 7 and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b–4 8 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.
