Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 20 / Thursday, January 30, 2014 / Notices
The proposed change is not intended to
address a competitive issue but rather to
provide Members with better notice of
any change that the Exchange may make
to the ORF, which will make it easier for
Members to ensure that their systems
are configured to properly account for
the ORF. Furthermore, as explained
above, the proposed changes are
substantially similar in all material
respects to fee changes made by Arca
and Amex.7 For these reasons, the
Exchange does not believe that the
proposed change will impair the ability
of Members, or competing order
execution venues to maintain their
competitive standing in the financial
markets.

Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received from
Members, Participants, or Others

Commission Action

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Topaz

Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed
Rule Change To Amend the Schedule
of Fees
January 24, 2014.
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 January
16, 2014, the Topaz Exchange, LLC (d/
b/a ISE Gemini) (the ‘‘Exchange’’ or
‘‘Topaz’’) filed with the Securities and
Exchange 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 the Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change
Topaz is proposing to amend its
Schedule of Fees to specify the
frequency with which the Exchange
may change the Options Regulatory Fee.
The text of the proposed rule change is
available on the Exchange’s Internet
Web site at https://www.ise.com, at the
principal office of the Exchange, 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
self-regulatory organization has

frequency with which the Exchange
may change the Options Regulatory Fee
(‘‘ORF’’).
The ORF is assessed by the Exchange
to each member for all options
transactions in both Standard Options
and Mini Options executed or cleared
by the member that are cleared by The
Options Clearing Corporation (‘‘OCC’’)
in the customer range, i.e., transactions
that clear in the customer account of the
member’s clearing firm at OCC,
regardless of the exchange on which the
transaction occurs. The fee is collected
indirectly from Members through their
clearing firms by OCC on behalf of the
Exchange. The dues and fees paid by
Members go into the general funds of
the Exchange, a portion of which is used
to help pay the costs of regulation.
In response to feedback from
Members requesting greater certainty as
to when ORF changes may occur, the
Exchange proposes to specify in the
Schedule of Fees that the Exchange may
only increase or decrease the ORF semiannually, and any such fee change will
be effective on the first business day of
February or August.3 In addition to
submitting a proposed rule change to
the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘Commission’’) as
required by the Act to increase or
decrease the ORF, the Exchange will
notify members via circular of any
anticipated change in the amount of the
fee at least 30 calendar days prior to the
effective date of the change. The
Exchange believes that by providing
guidance on the timing of any changes
to the ORF, the Exchange would make
it easier for Members to ensure their
systems are configured to properly
account for the ORF.
on the timing of changes, if any, and
better enable them to properly account
for ORF charges among their customers.
The Exchange believes that the
proposed change is equitable and not
unfairly discriminatory because it will
apply in the same manner to all
Members that are subject to the ORF and
provide them with additional advance
notice of changes to that fee. The
Exchange notes that the proposed
changes are consistent with recent fee
changes made by NYSE Arca (‘‘Arca’’)
and NYSE Amex Options (‘‘Amex’’),
and will make it easier for members to
ensure that their systems are configured
to properly account for the ORF.6
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The proposed rule change does not
impose any burden on competition that
is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
The proposed change is not intended to
address a competitive issue but rather to
provide Members with better notice of
any change that the Exchange may make
to the ORF, which will make it easier for
Members to ensure that their systems
are configured to properly account for
the ORF. Furthermore, as explained
above, the proposed changes are
substantially similar in all material

proposed change will impair the ability
of Members, or competing order
execution venues to maintain their
competitive standing in the financial
markets.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
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 Section 6(b)(4)
of the Act,5 in particular, in that it is an
equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees and other charges among Exchange
members and other persons using its
facilities, and does not unfairly
discriminate between customers,
issuers, brokers or dealers.
The Exchange believes that the
proposed change to limit changes to the
ORF to twice a year on specific dates
with advance notice is reasonable
because it will give Members certainty
The foregoing rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act,8 and
subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b–4
3 The Exchange will continue to monitor the
amount of revenue collected from the ORF to
ensure that it, in combination with its other
regulatory fees and fines, does not exceed the
Exchange’s total regulatory costs.

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 the
Substance of the Proposed Rule Change
Topaz is proposing to amend its Schedule of Fees to specify the
frequency with which the Exchange may change the Options Regulatory
Fee. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the
Exchange's Internet Web site at https://www.ise.com, at the principal
office of the Exchange, 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 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
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend the Schedule of Fees to specify the
[[Page 5013]]
frequency with which the Exchange may change the Options Regulatory Fee
(``ORF'').
The ORF is assessed by the Exchange to each member for all options
transactions in both Standard Options and Mini Options executed or
cleared by the member that are cleared by The Options Clearing
Corporation (``OCC'') in the customer range, i.e., transactions that
clear in the customer account of the member's clearing firm at OCC,
regardless of the exchange on which the transaction occurs. The fee is
collected indirectly from Members through their clearing firms by OCC
on behalf of the Exchange. The dues and fees paid by Members go into
the general funds of the Exchange, a portion of which is used to help
pay the costs of regulation.
In response to feedback from Members requesting greater certainty
as to when ORF changes may occur, the Exchange proposes to specify in
the Schedule of Fees that the Exchange may only increase or decrease
the ORF semi-annually, and any such fee change will be effective on the
first business day of February or August.\3\ In addition to submitting
a proposed rule change to the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') as required by the Act to increase or decrease the
ORF, the Exchange will notify members via circular of any anticipated
change in the amount of the fee at least 30 calendar days prior to the
effective date of the change. The Exchange believes that by providing
guidance on the timing of any changes to the ORF, the Exchange would
make it easier for Members to ensure their systems are configured to
properly account for the ORF.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ The Exchange will continue to monitor the amount of revenue
collected from the ORF to ensure that it, in combination with its
other regulatory fees and fines, does not exceed the Exchange's
total regulatory costs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\5\ in particular, in that it
is an equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges
among Exchange members and other persons using its facilities, and does
not unfairly discriminate between customers, issuers, brokers or
dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
\5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Exchange believes that the proposed change to limit changes to
the ORF to twice a year on specific dates with advance notice is
reasonable because it will give Members certainty on the timing of
changes, if any, and better enable them to properly account for ORF
charges among their customers. The Exchange believes that the proposed
change is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because it will
apply in the same manner to all Members that are subject to the ORF and
provide them with additional advance notice of changes to that fee. The
Exchange notes that the proposed changes are consistent with recent fee
changes made by NYSE Arca (``Arca'') and NYSE Amex Options (``Amex''),
and will make it easier for members to ensure that their systems are
configured to properly account for the ORF.\6\

25, 2013), 78 FR 60361 (October 1, 2013) (SR-NYSEArca-2013-91);

NYSEMKT-2013-76); [sic]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
The proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act. The proposed change is not intended to address a competitive
issue but rather to provide Members with better notice of any change
that the Exchange may make to the ORF, which will make it easier for
Members to ensure that their systems are configured to properly account
for the ORF. Furthermore, as explained above, the proposed changes are
substantially similar in all material respects to fee changes made by
Arca and Amex.\7\ For these reasons, the Exchange does not believe that
the proposed change will impair the ability of Members, or competing
order execution venues to maintain their competitive standing in the
financial markets.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others
The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. 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,\8\ and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder,\9\ because it establishes a due, fee, or other charge
imposed by Topaz.

change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
