Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION [Release No. 34–69934; File No. SR–C2– 2013–024] Self-Regulatory Organizations; C2 Options Exchange, Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change Relating to the Correction of a Typographical Error in Rule 6.15.08 July 3, 2013. Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2 notice is hereby given that, on July 2, 2013, C2 Options Exchange, Incorporated (the ‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘C2’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. 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 is proposing to correct an administrative typographical error in Rule 6.15.08, ‘‘Obvious Error and Catastrophic Errors.’’ 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. TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 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 26 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). 2 17 CFR 240.19b–4. 1 15 VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:42 Jul 09, 2013 Jkt 229001 The Exchange proposes to make an administrative change to correct an inadvertent typographical error to Exchange Rule 6.15.08. The Exchange proposes to make the proposed change so the text properly reflects the intention and practice of Rule 6.15.08. The administrative changes and typographical error are explained below. The Exchange recently filed a rule change, SR–C2–2013–013 to, among other things, amend the Exchange’s Obvious and Catastrophic Error rules.3 As part of that filing, an inadvertent typographical error was made in the changes made to Rule 6.15.08. The error can be found in the third sentence in .08 of the Interpretations and Policies section of Rule 6.15. In the last clause of the third section, the word ‘‘transition’’ was used; however, the intended word was ‘‘transaction.’’ The Exchange is now proposing to amend this error to more accurately describe the intention and practice of the rule. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (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 6(b)(5) 5 requirements that the rules of an exchange be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitating transactions in securities, 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. Additionally, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with 3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34– 69345 (April 8, 2013), 78 FR 21985 (April 12, 2013) (order approving SR–CBOE–2012–064 [sic] as modified by Amendments 1 and 2). 4 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). 5 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). PO 00000 Frm 00129 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 the Section 6(b)(5) 6 requirement that the rules of an exchange not be designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers. Specifically, the proposed rule change is consistent with these provisions as it will more accurately describe the practice of the Exchange in the Exchange Rulebook. There are no substantive changes being made in the proposed rule change, and thus, the current practices of the Exchange will remain the same. The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is necessary to accurately describe to Exchange Trading Permit Holders how Obvious and Catastrophic Errors described in Rule 06.15.08 operate on the Exchange. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition C2 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 Exchange does not believe the proposed rule change imposes any burden on intramarket competition because it applies to all Trading Permit Holders. Additionally, the Exchange does not believe the proposed rule change will impose any burden on intermarket competition as it merely attempting to correct a typographical error. There will be no substantive changes to the Exchange’s operations nor its rules. 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 Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: A. Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; B. Impose any significant burden on competition; and C. Become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 7 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 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 6 Id. 7 15 8 17 E:\FR\FM\10JYN1.SGM U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange is proposing to correct an administrative 
typographical error in Rule 6.15.08, ``Obvious Error and Catastrophic 
Errors.'' 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.

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
    The Exchange proposes to make an administrative change to correct 
an inadvertent typographical error to Exchange Rule 6.15.08. The 
Exchange proposes to make the proposed change so the text properly 
reflects the intention and practice of Rule 6.15.08. The administrative 
changes and typographical error are explained below.
    The Exchange recently filed a rule change, SR-C2-2013-013 to, among 
other things, amend the Exchange's Obvious and Catastrophic Error 
rules.\3\ As part of that filing, an inadvertent typographical error 
was made in the changes made to Rule 6.15.08. The error can be found in 
the third sentence in .08 of the Interpretations and Policies section 
of Rule 6.15. In the last clause of the third section, the word 
``transition'' was used; however, the intended word was 
``transaction.'' The Exchange is now proposing to amend this error to 
more accurately describe the intention and practice of the rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-69345 (April 8, 
2013), 78 FR 21985 (April 12, 2013) (order approving SR-CBOE-2012-
064 [sic] as modified by Amendments 1 and 2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with 
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (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 6(b)(5) \5\ requirements that the rules of an exchange be 
designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to 
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation 
and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, 
settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitating 
transactions in securities, 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. Additionally, 
the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the 
Section 6(b)(5) \6\ requirement that the rules of an exchange not be 
designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, 
brokers, or dealers.

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \6\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Specifically, the proposed rule change is consistent with these 
provisions as it will more accurately describe the practice of the 
Exchange in the Exchange Rulebook. There are no substantive changes 
being made in the proposed rule change, and thus, the current practices 
of the Exchange will remain the same. The Exchange believes the 
proposed rule change is necessary to accurately describe to Exchange 
Trading Permit Holders how Obvious and Catastrophic Errors described in 
Rule 06.15.08 operate on the Exchange.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    C2 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 Exchange does not believe 
the proposed rule change imposes any burden on intramarket competition 
because it applies to all Trading Permit Holders. Additionally, the 
Exchange does not believe the proposed rule change will impose any 
burden on intermarket competition as it merely attempting to correct a 
typographical error. There will be no substantive changes to the 
Exchange's operations nor its rules.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not:
    A. Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public 
interest;
    B. Impose any significant burden on competition; and
    C. Become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was 
filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has 
become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \7\ and 
Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \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

[[Page 41481]]

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 will institute proceedings to 
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or 
disapproved.
