Consolidated Tape Association; Notice of Filing of the Eighteenth Substantive Amendment to the Second Restatement of the CTA Plan, 58362-58364 [2013-23009]

The Exchange believes it is reasonable and equitable and not unfairly discriminatory to assess lower fees and rebates to provide market participants an incentive to trade Mini Options on the Exchange. The Exchange believes the proposed rebates are reasonable and equitable in light of the fact that Mini Options have a smaller exercise and assignment value, specifically 1/10th that of a standard option contract, and, as such, is providing rebates that are 1/10th of those applicable to Standard Options. The Exchange notes that the proposed rule filing is intended to establish Topaz as an attractive venue for market participants to direct their order flow as the proposed rebates are competitive with those established by other exchanges. The Exchange operates in a highly competitive market in which market participants can readily direct order flow to another exchange if they deem rebates at a particular exchange to be too low. For the reasons noted above, the Exchange believes that the proposed rebates are fair, equitable and not unfairly discriminatory. emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition In accordance with Section 6(b)(8) of the Act,19 the Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on inter-market competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The tiered rebate structure that the Exchange proposes to adopt here is similar to that currently in effect on other maker/taker options exchanges such as NOM,20 and will increase competition between Topaz and other markets. In establishing tiered rebates for providing liquidity, the Exchange is not imposing any burden on intra-market competition. The established volume tiers are transparent and offer Members a variety of ways to reach different levels of rebates on the exchange, similar to levels and differentials these same participants are familiar with on several other exchanges. Volume tiers are not new to the options industry and generally reward Members for submitting additional volume to the Exchange, with Topaz now seeking to introduce a similar structure. 19 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(8).

The Exchange has not received any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested parties. 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)(ii) of the Act 21 and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b–4 thereunder,22 because it establishes a due, fee, or other charge imposed by Topaz.

The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments from interested persons on the proposed amendment. I. Rule 608(a) emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES A. Purpose of the Amendments Currently, Section VIII(a) (Responsibility of Exchange Participants) of the CTA Plan provides that each Participant will ‘‘collect and report to the Processor all last sale price information to be reported by it relating to transactions in Eligible Securities taking place on its floor.’’ However, Section VI(d) (Transactions not reported (related messages)) provides a list of transactions that ‘‘are not to be reported for inclusion on the consolidated tape.’’ That list includes odd-lot transactions. Because odd-lot transactions account for a not insignificant percentage of trading volume, the Participants have determined that including odd-lot transactions on the consolidated tape of CTA last sale prices would add posttrade transparency to the marketplace. This amendment proposes to add odd-lot transactions to the consolidated tape by removing them from Section VI(d)’s list of transactions that are not to be reported for inclusion on the consolidated tape. Due to the lack of economic significance of many individual odd-lot orders, the Participants are not proposing to include bids and offers for odd-lots in the best bid and best offer calculations that the Participants make available under the CQ Plan. For the same reason, the Participants do not propose to include odd-lot transactions in calculations of last sale prices. Therefore, odd-lot transactions would not be included in calculations of high and low prices and would not be subject to Limit Up/Limit Down rules. Securities Exchange, LLC, NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc.

(‘‘Nasdaq PSX’’), Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, National Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange LLC (‘‘NYSE’’), NYSE MKT LLC (formerly NYSE Amex, Inc.), and NYSE Arca, Inc. (‘‘NYSE Arca’’). 4 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 10787 (May 10, 1974), 39 FR 17799 (declaring the CTA Plan effective). The CTA Plan, pursuant to which markets collect and disseminate last sale price information for non-NASDAQ listed securities, is a ‘‘transaction reporting plan’’ under Rule 601 under the Act, 17 CFR 242.601, and a ‘‘national market system plan’’ under Rule 608 under the Act, 17 CFR 242.608. VerDate Mar<15>2010 20:16 Sep 20, 2013 Jkt 229001 Similarly, including odd-lot transactions on the consolidated tape would not trigger short sale restrictions or trading halts. However, odd-lot transactions would be included in calculations of daily consolidated volume. For purposes of allocating revenue among the Participants under the CTA Plan, the Participants would include odd-lot transactions in the Security Income Allocation for each Eligible Security under Section XII(a)(ii) (Security Income Allocation) of the CTA plan. Just as with round lot transactions, an odd-lot transaction with a dollar value of $5000 or more would constitute one qualified transaction report and an odd-lot transaction with a dollar value of less than $5000 would constitute a fraction of a qualified transaction report that equals the dollar value of the transaction report divided by $5000. The Participants do not anticipate that this will produce a significant shift in revenue allocation among the Participants. This treatment of odd-lot transactions for revenue allocation purposes does not require a change to the language of the CTA Plan. B. Additional Information Required by Rule 608(a) 1. Governing or Constituent Documents Not applicable. 2. Implementation of the Amendment All of the Participants have manifested their approval of the proposed amendment by means of their execution of the amendments. Subject to Commission approval of the Amendment, the Participants intend to add odd-lot transactions to the consolidated tape under the CTA Plan commencing October 21, 2013. 3. Development and Implementation Phases Not applicable. 4. Analysis of Impact on Competition The proposed amendment does not impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Exchange Act. This change is being proposed and implemented in parallel with similar changes to the national market system plan governing the trading of stocks listed on NYSE, Amex, and other markets (i.e., the Nasdaq/UTP plan).

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 September 5, 2013, BOX Options Exchange LLC (the ‘‘Exchange’’) 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 selfregulatory organization.

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 rules related to trading of Complex Orders 3 on BOX Market LLC (‘‘BOX’’), the options trading facility of the Exchange, to permit Complex Orders to be submitted to a price improvement period auction mechanism similar to the existing PIP mechanism for single option series on BOX.4 The Exchange believes this proposed Complex Order Price Improvement Period (‘‘COPIP’’) 5 mechanism will result in more efficient transactions, reduced execution risk to BOX Options Participants, and greater opportunities for price improvement through the COPIP. The Exchange believes adoption of the proposal will result in tighter markets, and ensure that each order receives the best possible price. The Exchange believes the proposed COPIP is an improvement over its current rules regarding Complex Order exposure and execution, and will benefit all market participants submitting Complex Order to BOX. The proposed change will require that Complex Orders on BOX will execute first against interest on the BOX Book where possible, as under the current rule.6 Existing PIP The Exchange proposes to add new BOX Rule 7245 to allow Complex Orders to be submitted to the COPIP in substantially the same manner as orders for single options series instruments currently are submitted to the PIP. Currently, Options Participants executing agency orders for single options series instruments may designate Customer Orders for price 3 As defined in Rule 7240(a)(5), the term ‘‘Complex Order’’ means any order involving the simultaneous purchase and/or sale of two or more different options series in the same underlying security, for the same account, in a ratio that is equal to or greater than one-to-three (.333) and less than or equal to three-to-one (3.00) and for the purpose of executing a particular investment strategy. 4 See Rule 7150. 5 As defined in proposed Rule 7245, the term ‘‘COPIP’’ means Complex Order Price Improvement Period. 6 See Rule 7240(b)(3)(i) and proposed Rule 7245(f)(3)(i).

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 10787 (May 10, 
1974), 39 FR 17799 (declaring the CTA Plan effective). The CTA Plan, 
pursuant to which markets collect and disseminate last sale price 
information for non-NASDAQ listed securities, is a ``transaction 
reporting plan'' under Rule 601 under the Act, 17 CFR 242.601, and a 
``national market system plan'' under Rule 608 under the Act, 17 CFR 
242.608.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Rule 608(a)

A. Purpose of the Amendments

    Currently, Section VIII(a) (Responsibility of Exchange 
Participants) of the CTA Plan provides that each Participant will 
``collect and report to the Processor all last sale price information 
to be reported by it relating to transactions in Eligible Securities 
taking place on its floor.'' However, Section VI(d) (Transactions not 
reported (related messages)) provides a list of transactions that ``are 
not to be reported for inclusion on the consolidated tape.'' That list 
includes odd-lot transactions.
    Because odd-lot transactions account for a not insignificant 
percentage of trading volume, the Participants have determined that 
including odd-lot transactions on the consolidated tape of CTA last 
sale prices would add post-trade transparency to the marketplace.
    This amendment proposes to add odd-lot transactions to the 
consolidated tape by removing them from Section VI(d)'s list of 
transactions that are not to be reported for inclusion on the 
consolidated tape.
    Due to the lack of economic significance of many individual odd-lot 
orders, the Participants are not proposing to include bids and offers 
for odd-lots in the best bid and best offer calculations that the 
Participants make available under the CQ Plan.
    For the same reason, the Participants do not propose to include 
odd-lot transactions in calculations of last sale prices. Therefore, 
odd-lot transactions would not be included in calculations of high and 
low prices and would not be subject to Limit Up/Limit Down rules. 
Similarly, including odd-lot transactions on the consolidated tape 
would not trigger short sale restrictions or trading halts. However, 
odd-lot transactions would be included in calculations of daily 
consolidated volume.
    For purposes of allocating revenue among the Participants under the 
CTA Plan, the Participants would include odd-lot transactions in the 
Security Income Allocation for each Eligible Security under Section 
XII(a)(ii) (Security Income Allocation) of the CTA plan. Just as with 
round lot transactions, an odd-lot transaction with a dollar value of 
$5000 or more would constitute one qualified transaction report and an 
odd-lot transaction with a dollar value of less than $5000 would 
constitute a fraction of a qualified transaction report that equals the 
dollar value of the transaction report divided by $5000. The 
Participants do not anticipate that this will produce a significant 
shift in revenue allocation among the Participants. This treatment of 
odd-lot transactions for revenue allocation purposes does not require a 
change to the language of the CTA Plan.

B. Additional Information Required by Rule 608(a)

1. Governing or Constituent Documents
    Not applicable.
2. Implementation of the Amendment
    All of the Participants have manifested their approval of the 
proposed amendment by means of their execution of the amendments. 
Subject to Commission approval of the Amendment, the Participants 
intend to add odd-lot transactions to the consolidated tape under the 
CTA Plan commencing October 21, 2013.
3. Development and Implementation Phases
    Not applicable.
4. Analysis of Impact on Competition
    The proposed amendment does not impose any burden on competition 
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of 
the Exchange Act. This change is being proposed and implemented in 
parallel with similar changes to the national market system plan 
governing the trading of stocks listed on NYSE, Amex, and other markets 
(i.e., the Nasdaq/UTP plan). The Participants do not believe that the 
proposed plan amendment introduces terms that are unreasonably 
discriminatory for the purposes of Section 11A(c)(1)(D) of the Act.\5\
