Self-Regulatory Organizations; C2 Options Exchange, Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To Amend the Fees Schedule, 52377-52379 [2012-21313]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 168 / Wednesday, August 29, 2012 / Notices designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, 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. The Exchange believes the proposal to conform Market Maker obligations to the requirements of competing markets will promote the application of consistent trading practices. Therefore, the Exchange believes the proposal promotes just and equitable principles of trade and serves to protect investors and the public interest. Additionally, the Exchange believes the proposal removes a market maker quoting requirement that is unnecessary, as evidenced by the fact that it does not exist on other competitive markets. The Exchange operates in a highly competitive market comprised of ten U.S. options exchanges in which sophisticated and knowledgeable market participants can, and do, send order flow to competing exchanges if they deem trading practices at a particular exchange to be onerous or cumbersome. With this proposal, the Market Maker will be relieved of a market maker requirement that does not materially improve the quality of the markets. On the contrary, the pre-open phase obligation creates an additional obligation and burden on NOM Market Makers that does not exist on numerous other competitive markets. The Exchange believes that in this competitive marketplace, the impact of the pre-open trading practice that exists on the Exchange today compels this proposal. It will allow Market Makers on the Exchange to follow rules that are similar to the rules of other options exchanges that do not impose preopening obligations on their market makers, and will allow Market Makers to focus on aspects of their operations that contribute to the market in a more efficient and meaningful way. TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 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. NASDAQ’s proposal to eliminate the pre-trading obligation for Market Makers is consistent with what is already occurring on other markets. VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:37 Aug 28, 2012 Jkt 226001 C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others Written comments were neither solicited nor received. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action Because the 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 from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate if consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 17 and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.18 At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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.

Purpose On September 2, 2011, the Commission approved a proposed rule change filed by the Exchange to permit on a pilot basis the listing and trading on C2 of Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (‘‘S&P 500’’) options with third-Fridayof-the-month (‘‘Expiration Friday’’) expiration dates for which the exercise settlement value will be based on the index value derived from the closing prices of component securities (‘‘SPXPM’’).3 On September 28, 2011, the Exchange filed an immediatelyeffective rule change to adopt fees associated with the anticipated trading of SPXPM (the ‘‘Initial SPXPM Fees Filing’’).4 In the Initial SPXPM Fees Filing, the Exchange adopted an SPXPM Tier Appointment Fee of $4,000 which would be charged to any Market-Maker 3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34– 65256 (September 2, 2011), 76 FR 55969 (September 9, 2011) (SR–C2–2011–008). 4 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34– 65471 (October 3, 2011), 76 FR 62491 (October 7, 2011) (SR–C2–2011–026).

On November 23, the Exchange extended that waiver through December 31, 2011.5 The Exchange then extended that waiver again through February 29, 2012,6 May 31, 2012,7 and August 31, 2012.8 The Exchange hereby proposes continuing that waiver through December 31, 2012. The purpose of this waiver extension is to allow more time for the SPXPM market to develop and allow and encourage Market-Makers to join in and elect for an SPXPM Tier Appointment. 2. Statutory Basis The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,9 in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4)10 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. Continuing the waiver of the SPXPM Tier Appointment Fee is reasonable because it will allow Market-Makers with an SPXPM Tier Appointment to avoid paying the Tier Appointment Fee for a further 4-month period, and is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because all MarketMakers with an SPXPM Tier Appointment will be able to avoid paying the SPXPM Tier Appointment Fee through December 31, 2012.

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 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.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and the 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    On September 2, 2011, the Commission approved a proposed rule 
change filed by the Exchange to permit on a pilot basis the listing and 
trading on C2 of Standard & Poor's 500 Index (``S&P 500'') options with 
third-Friday-of-the-month (``Expiration Friday'') expiration dates for 
which the exercise settlement value will be based on the index value 
derived from the closing prices of component securities (``SPXPM'').\3\ 
On September 28, 2011, the Exchange filed an immediately-effective rule 
change to adopt fees associated with the anticipated trading of SPXPM 
(the ``Initial SPXPM Fees Filing'').\4\ In the Initial SPXPM Fees 
Filing, the Exchange adopted an SPXPM Tier Appointment Fee of $4,000 
which would be charged to any Market-Maker Permit holder that has an 
appointment (registration) in SPXPM at any time during a calendar 
month, but the Exchange also waived that fee through November 30, 2011. 
On November 23, the Exchange extended that waiver through December 31, 
2011.\5\ The Exchange then extended that waiver again through February 
29, 2012,\6\ May 31, 2012,\7\ and August 31, 2012.\8\ The Exchange 
hereby proposes continuing that waiver through December 31, 2012. The 
purpose of this waiver extension is to allow more time for the SPXPM 
market to develop and allow and encourage Market-Makers to join in and 
elect for an SPXPM Tier Appointment.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the 
Act,\9\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4)\10\ 
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. 
Continuing the waiver of the SPXPM Tier Appointment Fee is reasonable 
because it will allow Market-Makers with an SPXPM Tier Appointment to 
avoid paying the Tier Appointment Fee for a further 4-month period, and 
is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because all Market-Makers 
with an SPXPM Tier Appointment will be able to avoid paying the SPXPM 
Tier Appointment Fee through December 31, 2012.

burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in 
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed
