resulting in executions at prices that are
away from the best bid or offer, thereby
protecting investors from receiving
executions at inferior prices to what
may be available at other market
centers.
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
Exchange is proposing a market
enhancement that provides greater
protections from potentially erroneous
executions and the attendant risks of
such executions to market participants.
Therefore, the Exchange believes that
the proposal should provide an
incentive for market participants to
enter executable interest in the CME
that can help foster price discovery and
transparency thereby benefiting all
market participants. The proposal is
structured to offer the same
enhancement to all market participants,
regardless of account type, and will not
impose a competitive burden on any
participant. The Exchange does not
believe that the proposed mechanism
will impose a burden on competing
options exchanges. Rather, the
availability of this mechanism may
foster more competition. Specifically,
the Exchange notes that it operates in a
highly competitive market in which
market participants can readily favor
competing venues. When an exchange
offers enhanced functionality that
distinguishes it from the competition
and participants find it useful, it has
been the Exchange’s experience that
competing exchanges will move to
adopt similar functionality. Thus, the
Exchange believes that this type of
competition amongst exchanges is
beneficial to the market place as a whole
as it can result in enhanced processes,
functionality, and technologies.

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 the use of the
Exchange effective October 1, 2013, in
order to modify pricing related to
executions that occur on BATS
Exchange, Inc. (‘‘BZX’’) through the
Exchange’s Destination Specific Order

certain pricing changes effective
October 1, 2013, including modification
of the fee of $0.0029 per share when
removing liquidity to a fee of $0.0030
per share when removing liquidity. To
maintain a direct pass through of the
applicable economics of Destination
Specific Order executions at BZX, the
Exchange proposes to charge $0.0030

Order executed on BZX, rather than the
$0.0029 per share that it currently

Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
No written comments were solicited
or received.
2. Statutory Basis
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 9 and paragraph (f) of Rule
19b–4 thereunder.10 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 [sic] 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.7
Specifically, the Exchange believes that
the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,8 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 structures at a
particular venue to be unreasonable
and/or excessive. The Exchange believes
that the proposed changes to the
Exchange’s routing fee for Destination
Specific Orders executed on BZX are
equitably allocated, fair and reasonable,
and non-discriminatory in that they are
equally applicable to all Members and
are designed to mirror the fee applicable
to the execution if such routed orders
were executed directly by the Member
at BZX.
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 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 BZX through the
Destination Specific Order strategy, the
proposed fee change is designed to
equal the fee that a Member would have
received if such routed orders would
have been executed directly by a
Member at BZX.

Change
In its filing with the Commission, the
self-regulatory organization included

and basis for, the proposed rule change
and discussed any comments it received

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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend
Rule 2—Equities to specify that the
definition of an approved person does
not include a governmental entity and
amend Rule 304 to provide that if a
governmental entity directly or
indirectly owns a member organization,
then the member organization must
identify such governmental entity to the
Exchange.
Under Rule 2(b)(i)—Equities, a
‘‘member organization’’ is defined as a
registered broker-dealer that has been
approved for membership on the
Exchange. To qualify as a member
organization, a broker-dealer must be a
member of either (i) the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(‘‘FINRA’’) or (ii) a registered securities
exchange other than the Exchange.
Under Rule 2(c)—Equities, an approved
person of a member organization is
defined as a person, other than a
member, principal executive or
employee of a member organization,
who controls a member organization, is
engaged in a securities or kindred
PO 00000
Frm 00346

Sfmt 4703
business that is controlled by a member
or member organization, or is a U.S.registered broker-dealer under common
control with a member organization.
Under Rule 2(d)—Equities, ‘‘control’’
means the power to direct or cause the
direction of the management or policies
of a person whether through ownership
of securities, by contract or otherwise. A
person is presumed to control another
person if such person, directly or
indirectly, (i) has the right to vote 25
percent or more of the voting securities,
(ii) is entitled to receive 25 percent or
more of the net profits, or (iii) is a
director, general partner or principal
executive (or person occupying a similar
status or performing similar functions)
of the other person.4
Rule 304—Equities provides that a
member organization must identify each
approved person to the Exchange. Each
approved person must execute a written
consent to the jurisdiction of the
Exchange and agree to (1) supply the
Exchange with information relating to
the existence of any statutory
disqualification to which the approved
person or any person associated with
the approved person may be subject, as
defined in the Act; (2) abide by such
provisions of the rules of the Exchange
relating to approved persons as shall
from time to time be in effect; and (3)
permit examination by the Exchange, or
any person designated by it, at any time
or from time to time, of its books and
records to verify the accuracy of the
information required to be supplied
herein and by the rules of the Exchange.
Supplementary Material .10 to Rule
304—Equities sets forth certain
additional requirements for approved
persons domiciled outside the United
States.
The Exchange recently received a
membership application for a brokerdealer that is an approved FINRA
member; this broker-dealer has an
owner that is a governmental entity that
indirectly controls the broker-dealer and
thus falls within the definition of
approved person under the Exchange’s
rules. This is the first time that the
Exchange has received a membership
application presenting this ownership
structure. The Exchange notes that a
governmental entity could be either a
direct or an indirect owner of a member
organization, and by virtue of its
control, fall within the Exchange’s
definition of approved person, although
this result was not contemplated at the
time the definition was created. The
4 The Exchange notes that the approved person
definition is an Exchange convention and is not
intended to be identical to the definition of
‘‘associated person’’ pursuant to Section 3(a)(18) of
the Act. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(18).

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 the
use of the Exchange effective October 1, 2013, in order to modify
pricing related to executions that occur on BATS Exchange, Inc.
(``BZX'') through the Exchange's Destination Specific Order routing
strategy.\6\ BZX is implementing certain pricing changes effective
October 1, 2013, including modification of the fee of $0.0029 per share
when removing liquidity to a fee of $0.0030 per share when removing
liquidity. To maintain a direct pass through of the applicable
economics of Destination Specific Order executions at BZX, the Exchange
proposes to charge $0.0030 per share for a Destination Specific Order
executed on BZX, rather than the $0.0029 per share that it currently
charges for such orders. The Exchange is not proposing any other
changes to its routing fees at this time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ As defined in BYX Rule 11.9(c)(12).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Statutory Basis
The [sic] 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.\7\ Specifically, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule

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

equitably allocated, fair and reasonable, and non-discriminatory in
that they are equally applicable to all Members and are designed to
mirror the fee applicable to the execution if such routed orders were
