The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant parts of such statements. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 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 April 1, 2014, in order to modify the fees applicable to executions occurring through certain routing strategies at the Exchange’s affiliate, BATS Y-Exchange, Inc. (‘‘BYX’’). BYX currently provides a base rebate of $0.0001 per share when removing liquidity. To create a direct pass through of the applicable economics of executions at BYX through the Destination Specific,6 TRIM (including TRIM2 and TRIM3),7 and SLIM 8 routing strategies, the Exchange proposes to increase the rebate to $0.0016 per share for orders routed through such strategies and executed on BYX. The proposed change represents a pass through of the rate BATS Trading, Inc., the Exchange’s 5 A Member is any registered broker or dealer that has been admitted to membership in the Exchange. 6 As defined in BATS Rule 11.9(c)(12). 7 As defined in BATS Rule 11.13(a)(3)(G). 8 As defined in BATS Rule 11.13(a)(3)(H). VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:54 Apr 17, 2014 Jkt 232001 affiliated routing broker-dealer, is provided for routing orders that remove liquidity from BYX. The proposed change is in response to BYX’s April 2014 fee change where BYX increased its rebate from $0.0001 per share to $0.0016 per share for orders in securities priced at or above $1.00.9 Accordingly, when BATS Trading, Inc. routes to and removes liquidity on BYX, it will now receive a standard rebate of $0.0016 per share.10 The Exchange is not proposing any other changes to its routing fees at this time. 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.11 Specifically, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,12 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 rebate for TRIM (including TRIM2 and TRIM3), SLIM and Destination Specific Orders executed on BYX are equitably allocated, fair and reasonable, and nondiscriminatory 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 BYX. 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 9 See the BYX Fee Schedule available at https:// www.batstrading.com/resources/regulation/rule_ book/BYX_Fee_Schedule.pdf. 10 The Exchange notes that to the extent DE Route does or does not achieve any volume tiered rebates on BYX, its rebate for Flag BY will not change. 11 15 U.S.C. 78f. 12 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4). PO 00000 Frm 00097 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 21987 alternatives offer them better value. For orders routed through the Exchange and executed at BYX through the TRIM (including TRIM2 and TRIM3), SLIM and Destination Specific Order strategies, 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 BYX. As stated above, the Exchange notes that it operates in a highly competitive market in which market participants can readily direct order flow to competing venues if the deem fee structures to be unreasonable or excessive. 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 13 and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b–4 thereunder.14 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.

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 April 1, 2014, in order to modify the fees 
applicable to executions occurring through certain routing strategies 
at the Exchange's affiliate, BATS Y-Exchange, Inc. (``BYX'').
    BYX currently provides a base rebate of $0.0001 per share when 
removing liquidity. To create a direct pass through of the applicable 
economics of executions at BYX through the Destination Specific,\6\ 
TRIM (including TRIM2 and TRIM3),\7\ and SLIM \8\ routing strategies, 
the Exchange proposes to increase the rebate to $0.0016 per share for 
orders routed through such strategies and executed on BYX. The proposed 
change represents a pass through of the rate BATS Trading, Inc., the 
Exchange's affiliated routing broker-dealer, is provided for routing 
orders that remove liquidity from BYX. The proposed change is in 
response to BYX's April 2014 fee change where BYX increased its rebate 
from $0.0001 per share to $0.0016 per share for orders in securities 
priced at or above $1.00.\9\ Accordingly, when BATS Trading, Inc. 
routes to and removes liquidity on BYX, it will now receive a standard 
rebate of $0.0016 per share.\10\ The Exchange is not proposing any 
other changes to its routing fees at this time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ As defined in BATS Rule 11.9(c)(12).
    \7\ As defined in BATS Rule 11.13(a)(3)(G).
    \8\ As defined in BATS Rule 11.13(a)(3)(H).
    \9\ See the BYX Fee Schedule available at https://www.batstrading.com/resources/regulation/rule_book/BYX_Fee_Schedule.pdf.
    \10\ The Exchange notes that to the extent DE Route does or does 
not achieve any volume tiered rebates on BYX, its rebate for Flag BY 
will not change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.\11\ 
Specifically, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is 
consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\12\ 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.

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed changes to the Exchange's 
rebate for TRIM (including TRIM2 and TRIM3), SLIM and Destination 
Specific Orders executed on BYX 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 
BYX.

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 BYX through the TRIM 
(including TRIM2 and TRIM3), SLIM and Destination Specific Order 
strategies, 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 BYX. As stated above, the Exchange 
notes that it operates in a highly competitive market in which market 
participants can readily direct order flow to competing venues if the 
deem fee structures to be unreasonable or excessive.

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 \13\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 
thereunder.\14\ 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.
