Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 219 / Tuesday, November 13, 2012 / Notices
the Exchange does not distinguish
between ROUC and ROUE when
yielding Flag K, the Exchange proposes
to assess a charge of $0.0028 per share
for Members orders that are routed to
PSX using either ROUC or ROUE, which
represents the more favorable of the two
rates for its Members. The Exchange’s
proposal to offer its Members the more
favorable of two rates is also equitable
because it is similar to the rates
associated with Flag C, where the
Exchange offers Members the more
favorable rebate of $0.0014 per share for
orders routed to BX that remove
liquidity regardless of whether the
Member achieves the tiered volume
necessary to exceed the default rebate of
$0.0005 per share.19 In addition, the rate
of $0.0028 per share for Flag K is also
reasonable because it is similar to the
rates charged by PSX for orders routed
to its exchange, where PSX assesses
charges between $0.0028 per share and
$0.0030 per share depending on the
routing strategy employed.20 Lastly, the
Exchange also believes that the
proposed amendment is nondiscriminatory because it applies
uniformly to all Members.
The Exchange’s proposal to add the
title ‘‘EdgeBook Depth Fees’’ to the fee
schedule increases transparency on the
fee schedule for Members and does not
represent any change in EdgeBook
Depth fees.
The Exchange also notes that it
operates in a highly-competitive market
in which market participants can
readily direct order flow to competing
venues if they deem fee levels at a
particular venue to be excessive. The
proposed rule change reflects a
competitive pricing structure designed
to incent market participants to direct
their order flow to the Exchange. The
Exchange believes that the proposed
rates are equitable and nondiscriminatory in that they apply
uniformly to all Members. The
Exchange believes the fees and credits
remain competitive with those charged
by other venues and therefore continue
to be reasonable and equitably allocated
to Members.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with
The proposed rule change does not
impose any burden on competition that
is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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 (www.cboe.com/
AboutCBOE/
CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), at
the Exchange’s Office of the Secretary,
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.
srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
Beginning on November 1, 2012, the
Exchange will be introducing a new
origin code. The ‘‘J’’ origin code will be
used to indicate orders for a joint back
office (‘‘JBO’’) account to be cleared into
the Firm range at the Options Clearing
Corporation (‘‘OCC’’).3 Currently, such
orders are marked with the ‘‘F’’ origin
code and are included within the
category of Clearing Trading Permit
Holder Proprietary orders (and assessed
fees as if they were Clearing Trading
Permit Holder Proprietary orders).
Going forward, such orders will
continue to be assessed the same fees as
Clearing Trading Permit Holder
Proprietary orders. Because origin codes
are now listed on the CBOE Fees
Schedule, the Exchange merely
proposes to amend its Fees Schedule to
add the ‘‘J’’ origin code to any section
that currently lists the ‘‘F’’ origin code
(with the exception of the tables for the
CBOE Proprietary Products Sliding
Scale (the ‘‘Sliding Scale’’) and Clearing
Trading Permit Holder Fee Cap (the
‘‘Fee Cap’’), since the Sliding Scale and
Fee Cap do not apply to orders of JBO
participants).4 No substantive changes
to any fee amounts are being made.
The proposed change is to take effect
on November 1, 2012.
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.5 Specifically,
the Exchange believes the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Section
6(b)(5) 6 requirements that the rules of
an exchange be designed to promote just
and equitable principles of trade, to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative
acts, to remove impediments to and to
perfect the mechanism for a free and
open market and a national market
system, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest.
Adding the ‘‘J’’ origin code to the
appropriate sections on the Fees
Schedule will ensure that market
participants entering JBO orders account
to be cleared into the Firm range at the
OCC will easily be able to discern the
fees that apply to such orders. This will
eliminate any potential confusion,
thereby removing a potential
impediment to and perfecting the
mechanism for a free and open market
and a national market system, and, in
general, protecting investors and the
public interest.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
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.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The foregoing rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) 7 of the Act and paragraph (f)
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

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange intends to introduce its
Automated Improvement Mechanism
(‘‘AIM’’) for FLexible EXchange Options
(‘‘FLEX Options’’) transactions
beginning November 1, 2012. In
conjunction with that introduction, the
Exchange proposes to amend its CFLEX
fees in order to encourage greater FLEX
Options trading activity. Specifically,
the Exchange proposes to eliminate the
CFLEX Surcharge Fee as it applies to
equity, ETF, ETN, HOLDRs and index
(excluding SPX, SPXW, SPX Range
Options, OEX, XEO, VIX and Volatility
Indexes, XSP and DJX (the ‘‘Excluded
Classes’’)) FLEX Options transactions
(the ‘‘Fee Elimination’’).
The Exchange also proposes to
provide a $0.10-per-contract credit for
all equity, ETF, ETN, HOLDRs and
index (excluding the Excluded Classes)
FLEX Options orders executed via a
CFLEX AIM auction from November 1,
2012 through December 31, 2012 (the
‘‘CFLEX AIM Credit’’). The CFLEX AIM
Credit would apply to transactions
executed via AIM because the Exchange
wants to encourage the distribution of
the newly-developed CFLEX AIM
technology among Trading Permit
Holders (‘‘TPHs’’) in order to attract
greater FLEX Options order flow. AIM is
a facilitation mechanism, and
facilitation trades are the manner in
which most FLEX Options trades are
currently executed, and so the Exchange
correspondingly wants to attract more
FLEX Options facilitation trades to the
Exchange via this CFLEX AIM
technology. The CFLEX AIM Credit is
limited to the Agency/Primary side of a
FLEX Options AIM transaction because
this will encourage the entry of FLEX
Options AIM orders, as well as the
adoption of the FLEX Options AIM
technology by any party wishing to
execute a FLEX Options AIM order. The
CFLEX AIM Credit would be capped at
$250 (2,500 contracts) per trade in order
to limit the Exchange’s potential
exposure for providing the CFLEX AIM
Credit and ensure that the provision of
the CFLEX AIM Credit is economically
viable to the Exchange. In addition,
$250 per trade is the current maximum
fee for the CFLEX Surcharge Fee.
Each TPH may only receive the
CFLEX AIM Credit on one order per
underlying product per day, and the
CFLEX AIM Credit will be applied to
the smallest-sized order in each
underlying product sent to the Exchange
by that TPH on each day. The purpose
of this limitation is to limit the
PO 00000
Frm 00077
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
67703
Exchange’s potential exposure for
providing rebates and ensure that the
provision of the CFLEX AIM Credit is
economically viable to the Exchange.
For purposes of the CFLEX AIM Credit,
multiple legs of a complex order will be
considered separate simple orders in
order to prevent parties from being able
to receive the CFLEX AIM Credit on
multiple orders in the same underlying
product in the same day. These details
of the CFLEX AIM Credit will be
explained in new Footnote 28 to the
Exchange Fees Schedule.
The purpose of this is to encourage
greater FLEX Options trading via the
newly-introduced AIM (which
encourages facilitation) and the
distribution of the FLEX Options AIM
technology among the Exchange’s TPHs.
The proposed changes are to take effect
on November 1, 2012.
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.3 Specifically,
the Exchange believes the proposed rule
change is consistent with Section 6(b)(4)
of the Act,4 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 Fee
Elimination is reasonable because it will
allow market participants who are
currently engaging in FLEX Options
trades in equity, ETF, ETN, HOLDRs
and index options (excluding the
Excluded Classes) to avoid having to
pay the CFLEX Surcharge Fee in the
future. Eliminating the CFLEX
Surcharge Fee for equity, ETF, ETN,
HOLDRs and most index options while
not eliminating the CFLEX Surcharge
Fee for the Excluded Classes is equitable
and not unfairly discriminatory because
the Exchange expended significant
resources developing the products listed
in the Excluded Classes and must
receive fees in order to recoup such
expenditures.
The CFLEX AIM Credit is reasonable
because it will allow market
participants who engage in FLEX
Options trades in equity, ETF, ETN,
HOLDRs and index options (excluding
the Excluded Classes) to receive a rebate
for such transactions. Excluding the
