The Exchange believes the addition of these references will provide additional transparency to Chapter XV of the Exchange’s Rules. The Exchange does not believe that there is confusion among market participants with respect to the terms described herein, but rather that the addition of these terms to Chapter XV would serve to provide transparency and guidance to the benefit of all market participants. The Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) in that it is 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, by clarifying what fees and rebate in Chapter XV apply to certain transactions and market participants. The Exchange is not amending the manner in which it applies pricing to various Participants. The proposed terms merely codify the manner in which the Exchange assesses fees and pays rebates today and defines Common Ownership today. Similarly, the manner in which fees and rebates for adding and removing liquidity are applied is not changing but merely codified by the addition of the terms to Chapter XV. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition NASDAQ 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. The Exchange is merely filing this clarification to specify how certain fees and rebates in Chapter XV are applied to market participants. The Exchange believes that this clarification will provide greater transparency to market participants. The Exchange does not believe that this amendment creates intramarket competition among Participants as it is applied uniformly to all Participants. The Exchange believes that clarifying the applicability of certain fees and rebates for adding and removing liquidity within the Pricing Schedule provides market participants clear guidance. C.

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 self-regulatory organization 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 those 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 parts of such statements. A.

Purpose Through this filing, the Exchange proposes to amend its Fee Schedule to alter the circumstances under which liquidity providing credits are paid to Institutional Brokers. The Exchange proposes to make the fee change operative on February 6, 2013. Currently, for agency executions on the Exchange through an Institutional Broker, Section E.3.a of the Fee Schedule charges a fee of $.003/share, up to a maximum of $100 per side for all securities priced $1.00/share or more in all sessions. Liquidity removing fees are not charged to Institutional Brokers for single sided orders pursuant to Section E.1.(a) of the Fee Schedule. When a single sided order provides liquidity, Section E.1.(b) of the Fee Schedule specifies that a liquidity VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:09 Feb 14, 2013 Jkt 229001 providing credit of $0.0022/share in all Derivative Securities Products priced $1.00/share or more executed in the Regular Trading Session shall be paid to the Institutional Broker representing the Participant which originated the order. Additionally, for single sided orders, Section E.1.(c) of the Fee Schedule specifies that a liquidity providing credit of $0.0022/share in all securities priced $1.00/share or more executed in the Early or Late Trading Sessions shall be paid to the Institutional Broker representing the Participant which originated the order. Although infrequent, this pricing structure can result in a scenario in which the fees charged by the Exchange are capped due to the $100 per side cap while the credits paid are uncapped, thus resulting in transaction that is revenue negative to the Exchange. The Exchange now proposes to amend Section E.1.(b) of the Fee Schedule to specify that a liquidity providing credit of $0.0022/share in all Derivative Securities Products priced $1.00/share or more executed in the Regular Trading Session shall be paid to the Institutional Broker representing the Participant which originated the order, unless such Institutional Broker also represents the Participant which originated the matched liquidity taking order. Similarly, the Exchange would amend Section E.1.(c) of the Fee Schedule to specify that a liquidity providing credit of $0.0022/share in all securities priced $1.00/share or more executed in the Early or Late Trading Sessions shall be paid to the Institutional Broker representing the Participant which originated the order, unless such Institutional Broker also represents the Participant which originated the matched liquidity taking order. The Exchange believes that these changes will allow it to continue to incent liquidity providing orders while at the same time limiting transactions that are revenue negative to the Exchange. The Exchange notes that the rates associated with the fees being charged and credits paid do not change as a result of this filing. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act 4 in general, and furthers the objectives of Sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act 5 in particular because it provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its members and issuers and other persons 4 15 5 15 PO 00000 U.S.C. 78f(b).

The Exchange believes that the change provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable fees because it is being proposed to address a specific scenario in which the fees charged by the Exchange are capped while the credits paid under certain circumstances are uncapped, thus resulting in transaction that is revenue negative to the Exchange. The Exchange also believes that the proposed change is not unfairly discriminatory because it applies equally to all CHX registered Institutional Brokers. The Exchange also notes that the rates associated with the fees being charged and credits paid do not change as a result of this filing. Finally, the Exchange notes that it operates in a highly competitive market in which market participants can readily favor competing venues. In such an environment, the Exchange must continually review, and consider adjusting, its fees and credits to remain competitive with other exchanges. For the reasons described above, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change reflects this competitive environment. 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 that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The rule change is designed to address a specific scenario in which the fees charged by the Exchange are capped while the credits paid under certain circumstances are uncapped, thus resulting in transaction that is revenue negative to the Exchange. As stated above, the rates associated with the fees being charged and credits paid do not change as a result of this filing. C.

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 self-regulatory organization 
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 those 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 parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    Through this filing, the Exchange proposes to amend its Fee 
Schedule to alter the circumstances under which liquidity providing 
credits are paid to Institutional Brokers. The Exchange proposes to 
make the fee change operative on February 6, 2013.
    Currently, for agency executions on the Exchange through an 
Institutional Broker, Section E.3.a of the Fee Schedule charges a fee 
of $.003/share, up to a maximum of $100 per side for all securities 
priced $1.00/share or more in all sessions. Liquidity removing fees are 
not charged to Institutional Brokers for single sided orders pursuant 
to Section E.1.(a) of the Fee Schedule. When a single sided order 
provides liquidity, Section E.1.(b) of the Fee Schedule specifies that 
a liquidity providing credit of $0.0022/share in all Derivative 
Securities Products priced $1.00/share or more executed in the Regular 
Trading Session shall be paid to the Institutional Broker representing 
the Participant which originated the order. Additionally, for single 
sided orders, Section E.1.(c) of the Fee Schedule specifies that a 
liquidity providing credit of $0.0022/share in all securities priced 
$1.00/share or more executed in the Early or Late Trading Sessions 
shall be paid to the Institutional Broker representing the Participant 
which originated the order. Although infrequent, this pricing structure 
can result in a scenario in which the fees charged by the Exchange are 
capped due to the $100 per side cap while the credits paid are 
uncapped, thus resulting in transaction that is revenue negative to the 
Exchange.
    The Exchange now proposes to amend Section E.1.(b) of the Fee 
Schedule to specify that a liquidity providing credit of $0.0022/share 
in all Derivative Securities Products priced $1.00/share or more 
executed in the Regular Trading Session shall be paid to the 
Institutional Broker representing the Participant which originated the 
order, unless such Institutional Broker also represents the Participant 
which originated the matched liquidity taking order. Similarly, the 
Exchange would amend Section E.1.(c) of the Fee Schedule to specify 
that a liquidity providing credit of $0.0022/share in all securities 
priced $1.00/share or more executed in the Early or Late Trading 
Sessions shall be paid to the Institutional Broker representing the 
Participant which originated the order, unless such Institutional 
Broker also represents the Participant which originated the matched 
liquidity taking order. The Exchange believes that these changes will 
allow it to continue to incent liquidity providing orders while at the 
same time limiting transactions that are revenue negative to the 
Exchange. The Exchange notes that the rates associated with the fees 
being charged and credits paid do not change as a result of this 
filing.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent 
with Section 6(b) of the Act \4\ in general, and furthers the 
objectives of Sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act \5\ in particular 
because it provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, 
fees, and other charges among its members and issuers and other persons 
using its facilities and does not unfairly discriminate between 
customers, issuers, or broker dealers.

    The Exchange believes that the change provides for the equitable 
allocation of reasonable fees because it is being proposed to address a 
specific scenario in which the fees charged by the Exchange are capped 
while the credits paid under certain circumstances are uncapped, thus 
resulting in transaction that is revenue negative to the Exchange.
    The Exchange also believes that the proposed change is not unfairly 
discriminatory because it applies equally to all CHX registered 
Institutional Brokers. The Exchange also notes that the rates 
associated with the fees being charged and credits paid do not change 
as a result of this filing.
    Finally, the Exchange notes that it operates in a highly 
competitive market in which market participants can readily favor 
competing venues. In such an environment, the Exchange must continually 
review, and consider adjusting, its fees and credits to remain 
competitive with other exchanges. For the reasons described above, the 
Exchange believes that the proposed rule change reflects this 
competitive environment.

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 that is not necessary or appropriate 
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The rule change is designed 
to address a specific scenario in which the fees charged by the 
Exchange are capped while the credits paid under certain circumstances 
are uncapped, thus resulting in transaction that is revenue negative to 
the Exchange. As stated above, the rates associated with the fees being 
charged and credits paid do not change as a result of this filing.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed 
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the 
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change is effective upon filing pursuant to 
Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \6\ and

[[Page 11260]]

subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder \7\ because it establishes 
or changes a due, fee or other charge imposed by the Exchange. 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. If the Commission takes such 
action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether 
the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.
