Download as PDF 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See CBOE Regulatory Circulars RG12-118 (August 27, 2012) and 
RG12-136 (October 5, 2012).
    \4\ See CBOE Fees Schedule, Footnote (11).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.

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.

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 necessary or 
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or 
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
