BATS Y-Exchange, Inc. Rule 2.12 to
Make Permanent the Pilot Program
That Permits BATS Y-Exchange, Inc.
To Receive Inbound Routes of Equities
Orders Through BATS Trading, Inc.,
BATS Y-Exchange’s Routing BrokerDealer, From BATS Exchange, Inc.
April 13, 2012.
I. Introduction
On March 8, 2012, BATS Y-Exchange,
Inc. (‘‘BYX’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with
the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant
to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule
19b–4 thereunder,2 a proposed rule
change requesting permanent approval
of the Exchange’s pilot program that
permits the Exchange to receive
inbound routes of equities orders
through BATS Trading, Inc. (‘‘BATS
Trading’’), the Exchange’s routing
broker-dealer, from BATS Exchange,
Inc. (‘‘BATS’’). The proposed rule
change was published for comment in
the Federal Register on March 14,
2012.3 The Commission received no
comment letters regarding the proposed
rule change. This order approves the
proposed rule change.
II. Background
BATS Trading is a broker-dealer that
is a member of the Exchange and is
permitted to provide members of BATS
optional routing services to other market
centers.4 BATS Trading is owned by
BATS Global Markets (‘‘Corporation’’).
The Corporation also owns two
registered securities exchanges—the
Exchange5 and BATS.6 Thus, BATS

market centers, subject to certain conditions. See

Trading is an affiliate of the Exchange
and BATS.
On August 13, 2010, the Commission
approved the Exchange’s application for
registration as a national securities
exchange.7 As part of that approval, the
Exchange was approved to receive
inbound routes of orders by BATS
Trading in its capacity as an order
routing facility of BATS on a pilot
period of twelve months.8 On
September 29, 2011, the Exchange filed
an immediately effective proposed rule
change to extend the pilot period six
months ending April 15, 2012.9 The
Exchange now seeks permanent
approval of this inbound routing pilot.10
III. Discussion and Commission
Findings
After careful review, the Commission
finds that the proposed rule change is
consistent with the requirements of the
Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to a national
securities exchange.11 Specifically, the
Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section
6(b)(1) of the Act,12 which requires,
among other things, that a national
securities exchange be so organized and
have the capacity to carry out the
purposes of the Act, and to comply and
enforce compliance by its members and
persons associated with its members,
with the provisions of the Act, the rules
and regulation thereunder, and the rules
of the Exchange. Further, the
Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,13 which requires,
among other things, that the rules of a
national securities exchange be
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
regulating, clearing, settling, and
processing information with respect to,
and facilitating transactions in
securities; to remove impediments to
and perfect the mechanism of a free and
open market and a national market
system; and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest.
Section 6(b)(5) also requires that the

Commission has considered the proposed rule’s

formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).

rules of an exchange not be designed to
permit unfair discrimination among
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.
Recognizing that the Commission has
previously expressed concern regarding
the potential for conflicts of interest in
instances where a member firm is
affiliated with an exchange to which it
is routing orders, the Exchange
previously implemented limitations and
conditions to BATS Trading’s affiliation
with the Exchange to permit the
Exchange to accept inbound orders that
BATS Trading routes in its capacity as
a facility of BATS, on a pilot basis.14
The Exchange now seeks to make this
pilot permanent. Specifically, the
Exchange states it is in compliance with
the following limitations and
conditions: 15
• The Exchange shall enter into a
plan pursuant to Rule 17d-2 under the
Exchange Act with a non-affiliated selfregulatory organization (‘‘SRO’’) to
relieve the Exchange of regulatory
responsibilities for BATS Trading with
respect to rules that are common rules
between the Exchange and the nonaffiliated SRO, and enter into a
regulatory contract (‘‘Regulatory
Contract’’) with a non-affiliated SRO to
perform regulatory responsibilities for
BATS Trading for unique Exchange
rules.
• The Regulatory Contract shall
require the Exchange to provide the
non-affiliated SRO with information, in
an easily accessible manner, regarding
all exception reports, alerts, complaints,
trading errors, cancellations,
investigations, and enforcement matters
(collectively ‘‘Exceptions’’) in which
BATS Trading is identified as a
participant that has potentially violated
Exchange or Commission Rules, and
shall require that the non-affiliated SRO
provide a report, at least quarterly, to
the Exchange quantifying all Exceptions
in which BATS Trading is identified as
a participant that has potentially
violated Exchange or Commission
Rules.
• The Exchange, on behalf of the
Corporation, shall establish and
maintain procedures and internal
controls reasonably designed to ensure
that BATS Trading does not develop or
implement changes to its system on the
basis of non-public information
regarding planned changes to Exchange
systems, obtained as a result of its
affiliation with the Exchange, until such
information is available generally to
similarly situated member organizations
of the Exchange in connection with the
14 See
15 See
BYX Approval Order, 75 FR at 51304.

provision of inbound order routing to
the Exchange.
• The Exchange may furnish to BATS
Trading the same information on the
same terms that the Exchange makes
available in the normal course of
business to any other member
organization.
The Exchange believes that by meeting
the above-listed conditions it has set up
mechanisms that protect the
independence of the Exchange’s
regulatory responsibility with respect to
BATS Trading, and has demonstrated
that BATS Trading cannot use any
information that it may have because of
its affiliation with the Exchange to its
advantage.16
In the past, the Commission has
expressed concern that the affiliation of
an exchange with one of its members
raises potential conflicts of interest, and
the potential for unfair competitive
advantage.17 Although the Commission
continues to be concerned about
potential unfair competition and
conflicts of interest between an
exchange’s self-regulatory obligations
and its commercial interest when the
exchange is affiliated with one of its
members, for the reasons discussed
below, the Commission believes that it
is consistent with the Act to permit
BATS Trading, in its capacity as a
facility of BATS, to provide inbound
routing to the Exchange on a permanent
basis instead of a pilot basis, subject to
the other conditions described above.
The Exchange has proposed four
ongoing conditions applicable to BATS
Trading’s inbound routing activities in
its capacity as a facility of BATS, which
are enumerated above. The Commission
believes that these conditions mitigate
its concerns about potential conflicts of
interest and unfair competitive
advantage. In particular, the
Commission believes that a nonaffiliated SRO’s oversight of BATS
