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 parts of such statements. A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 1. Purpose The Exchange proposes to modify its fee schedule applicable to use of the Exchange effective September 3, 2013, in order to modify pricing related to executions that occur on NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc. (‘‘NASDAQ BX’’) through the Exchange’s TRIM routing strategy.6 NASDAQ BX implemented certain pricing changes effective September 3, 2013, including modification from a highest potential rebate 7 of $0.0014 per share when removing liquidity to a highest potential rebate of $0.0013 per share when removing liquidity. To maintain a direct pass through of the applicable economics for TRIM executions at NASDAQ BX (assuming the Exchange is able to achieve the highest potential rebate), the Exchange proposes to rebate $0.0013 per share for an order routed through its TRIM routing strategy and executed on NASDAQ BX, rather than the rebate of $0.0014 per share that it currently offers for such orders. The Exchange is not proposing any other changes to its routing fees at this time. 6 As defined in BATS Rule 11.13(a)(3)(G). BX maintains a tiered pricing structure that results in variable rebates and fees depending on the amount of liquidity added or removed. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder that are applicable to a national securities exchange, and, in particular, with the requirements of Section 6 of the Act.8 Specifically, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,9 in that it provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among members and other persons using any facility or system which the Exchange operates or controls. The Exchange 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 Exchange believes that the proposed changes to the Exchange’s routing fee for TRIM executions at NASDAQ BX are equitably allocated, fair and reasonable, and non-discriminatory in that they are equally applicable to all Members and are designed to mirror the rebate applicable to the execution if such routed orders were executed directly by the Member at NASDAQ BX. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended. Because the market for order execution is extremely competitive, Members may readily opt to disfavor the Exchange’s routing services if they believe that alternatives offer them better value. For orders routed through the Exchange and executed at NASDAQ BX through the TRIM routing strategy, the proposed fee change is designed to equal the rebate that a Member would have received if such routed orders would have been executed directly by a Member at NASDAQ BX. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on the proposed rule change. 7 NASDAQ VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:46 Sep 13, 2013 Jkt 229001 8 15 9 15 PO 00000 U.S.C. 78f.

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) of the Act 10 and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b–4 thereunder.11 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.

(the ‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘EDGX’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II and III below, which items have been prepared by the self-regulatory organization. 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 proposes to amend its Fee Schedule to: (i) add the Tape B Step Up Tier; (ii) add the Mega Tier 3; (iii) move the bullets related to ‘‘added flags,’’ ‘‘removal flags,’’ and ‘‘routed flags’’ from the Definitions section to the General Notes section; and (iv) amend the phrase ‘‘Step Up’’ to ‘‘Step-Up’’ in the tiers in Footnote 1.

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 these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization 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 The Exchange proposes to amend its Fee Schedule to: (i) add the Tape B Step Up Tier; (ii) add the Mega Tier 3; (iii) move the bullets related to ‘‘added flags,’’ ‘‘removal flags,’’ and ‘‘routed flags’’ from the Definitions section to the General Notes section; and (iv) amend the phrase ‘‘Step Up’’ to ‘‘Step-Up’’ in the tiers in Footnote 1. Addition of Tape B Step Up Tier The Exchange proposes to add a new tier to its Fee Schedule, the Tape B Step Up Tier. The Tape B Step Up Tier would provide a rebate of $0.0025 per share for orders yielding flags B and 4 (adds liquidity to EDGX in Tape B securities) to Members that add 600,000 shares in average daily volume (‘‘ADV’’) in Tape B securities more than the Member’s August 2013 ADV in Tape B securities added to EDGX. The Exchange proposes to remove the word ‘‘Reserved’’ from Footnote 2 to its Fee Schedule and replace it with the Tape B Step Up Tier. Furthermore, the Exchange proposes to append Footnote 2 to flags B and 4, both of which would qualify for the tiered rebate if a Member meets the aforementioned requirement. Addition of the Mega Tier 3 The Exchange proposes to add a new tier to its Fee Schedule, the Mega Tier 3. The Mega Tier 3 would provide a rebate of $0.0032 per share for orders that add liquidity yielding flags B, V, Y, 3, 4 and ZA provided the Member (i) adds or routes at least 1,500,000 shares of ADV prior to 9:30 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. and (ii) adds a minimum of 0.75% of the total consolidated volume PO 00000 Frm 00102 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 56957 (‘‘TCV’’) on a daily basis measured monthly, including during both market hours and pre- and post-trading hours. The Exchange proposes to add the Mega Tier 3 below Mega Tier 2 and above the Market Depth Tier within the list of volume tiers in Footnote 1 to its Fee Schedule. Amendments to Lists of Added, Removal and Routed Flags Currently, the Definitions section in the Fee Schedule contains three bullets that contain the list of applicable ‘‘added flags,’’ ‘‘removal flags,’’ and ‘‘routed flags,’’ that may be considered when calculating whether a Member satisfied a certain tier. The Exchange proposes to move the text contained within each of the three bullets to the General Notes section. In addition, the Exchange proposes to re-word the text of each bullet to improve readability and remove references to the flags as defined terms. For example, the amended bullet regarding added flags would read as follows: ‘‘Unless otherwise indicated, the following added flags are counted towards tiers . . .’’ The Exchange notes that the list of added/removal/routed flags associated with each bullet would remain unchanged. Amendment to Step-Up Tiers in Footnote 1 Currently, the Step-Up Tiers in Footnote 1 to the Fee Schedule are lacking a hyphen between the words ‘‘Step’’ and ‘‘Up.’’ The Exchange proposes to add a hyphen so that each tier so-titled would no longer be a ‘‘Step Up’’ tier but a ‘‘Step-Up’’ tier. The Exchange notes that the criteria necessary to achieve the tiers and the rates offered by the tiers would remain unchanged. Implementation Date The Exchange proposes to implement these amendments to its Fee Schedule on September 3, 2013. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the objectives of Section 6 of the Act,4 in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4),5 in particular, as it is designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among its Members and other persons using its facilities. 4 15 5 15 E:\FR\FM\16SEN1.SGM U.S.C. 78f.

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 parts 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 modify its fee schedule applicable to use 
of the Exchange effective September 3, 2013, in order to modify pricing 
related to executions that occur on NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc. (``NASDAQ BX'') 
through the Exchange's TRIM routing strategy.\6\ NASDAQ BX implemented 
certain pricing changes effective September 3, 2013, including 
modification from a highest potential rebate \7\ of $0.0014 per share 
when removing liquidity to a highest potential rebate of $0.0013 per 
share when removing liquidity. To maintain a direct pass through of the 
applicable economics for TRIM executions at NASDAQ BX (assuming the 
Exchange is able to achieve the highest potential rebate), the Exchange 
proposes to rebate $0.0013 per share for an order routed through its 
TRIM routing strategy and executed on NASDAQ BX, rather than the rebate 
of $0.0014 per share that it currently offers for such orders. The 
Exchange is not proposing any other changes to its routing fees at this 
time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ As defined in BATS Rule 11.13(a)(3)(G).
    \7\ NASDAQ BX maintains a tiered pricing structure that results 
in variable rebates and fees depending on the amount of liquidity 
added or removed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent 
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations 
thereunder that are applicable to a national securities exchange, and, 
in particular, with the requirements of Section 6 of the Act.\8\ 
Specifically, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is 
consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\9\ in that it provides for 
the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges 
among members and other persons using any facility or system which the 
Exchange operates or controls. The Exchange notes that it operates in a

particular venue to be excessive. The Exchange believes that the 
proposed changes to the Exchange's routing fee for TRIM executions at 
NASDAQ BX are equitably allocated, fair and reasonable, and non-
discriminatory in that they are equally applicable to all Members and 
are designed to mirror the rebate applicable to the execution if such

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will 
result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or 
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended. 
Because the market for order execution is extremely competitive, 
Members may readily opt to disfavor the Exchange's routing services if 
they believe that alternatives offer them better value. For orders 
routed through the Exchange and executed at NASDAQ BX through the TRIM 
routing strategy, the proposed fee change is designed to equal the 
rebate that a Member would have received if such routed orders would 
have been executed directly by a Member at NASDAQ BX.

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

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written 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) of the Act \10\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 
thereunder.\11\ 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.
