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 its Fees Schedule. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange’s Web site (https:// www.c2exchange.com/Legal/), at the Exchange’s Office of the Secretary, and at the Commission’s Public Reference Room. U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). 2 17 CFR 240.19b–4. Frm 00115 Fmt 4703 The Exchange proposes to make clarifying, non-substantive changes to its Fees Schedule in order to make it easier to comprehend for market participants. On August 3, 2012, the Exchange proposed to begin referring to ‘‘straight, one-sided orders’’ as ‘‘simple orders’’.3 Investors generally refer to orders as either ‘‘simple’’ or ‘‘complex’’ and the terminology ‘‘straight, one-sided orders’’ is not as commonly-known. Since simple orders are straight, onesided orders, the Exchange proposed to call ‘‘straight, one-sided orders’’ ‘‘simple orders’’ in order to make the Fees Schedule easier for investors to understand. The Exchange further proposed to clarify that such orders are not complex orders (to which a separate set of fees apply) by referring to simple orders as ‘‘simple, non-complex’’ orders. However, in that proposal, the Exchange only changed some, but not all, references to ‘‘straight, one-sided orders’’ to ‘‘simple, non-complex orders’’. The Exchange hereby proposes to change the remaining references on the Fees Schedule to ‘‘straight, onesided orders’’ to ‘‘simple, non-complex orders’’ in order to alleviate any potential confusion. 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 the Section 3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34– 67675 (August 16, 2012) (SR–C2–2012–027). 4 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). 1 15 PO 00000 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. 1. Purpose August 22, 2012. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION VerDate Mar<15>2010 August 30, 2012 will be: institution and settlement of injunctive actions; institution and settlement of administrative proceedings; a litigation matter; and other matters relating to enforcement proceedings. At times, changes in Commission priorities require alterations in the scheduling of meeting items.
