Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2 notice is hereby given that, on July 16, 2014, the Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc. (‘‘CHX’’ or the ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. 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 CHX proposes to adopt Article 1, Rule 4, to provide that the consolidated market data feed disseminated by the securities information processors shall be the only market data feed utilized by the Exchange for all operational and regulatory compliance purposes. The Exchange has designated this proposal as non-controversial and provided the Commission with the notice required by Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) under the Act.3 The text of this proposed rule change is available on the Exchange’s Web site at (www.chx.com) and in 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 CHX included statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule changes 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.

Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose The Exchange proposes to adopt Article 1, Rule 4 to provide that the consolidated market data disseminated by the securities information processors (‘‘SIPs’’) 4 (‘‘SIP data feeds’’) shall be the only market data feed utilized by the Exchange for all operational and regulatory compliance purposes. The SIP data feeds are the only data feeds the Exchange currently utilizes for all operational and regulatory compliance purposes. Thus, the Exchange does not utilize any direct proprietary market data feeds from any external market for such purposes.5 For example, the Exchange only utilizes the SIP data feeds to calculate the National Best Bid and Offer (‘‘NBBO’’) for the purposes of compliance with Regulation NMS and Regulation SHO. The Exchange does not ignore or modify SIP quote data for the purposes of establishing the NBBO under any circumstances where the SIP data feed shows an uncrossed market.6 Similarly, the Exchange utilizes the SIP data feeds in its surveillance of order and trade activity on the Exchange, when applicable. The Exchange notes that it does not currently offer outbound order routing from the Exchange. If the Exchange implements outbound routing in the future, the Exchange intends for its routing facilities to only utilize the SIP data feeds.7 The Exchange also notes that it does not currently offer pegged orders, which are orders that have a limit price that tracks the NBBO, such as the midpoint of the NBBO. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that its proposal 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(b) of the Act.8 4 See 15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(22)(A). addition to the SIP data feeds, the Exchange utilizes its own internal data regarding its own market for operational and regulatory compliance purposes. 6 Pursuant to Paragraph .01(d) of CHX Article 20, Rule 5, the Exchange’s NBBO calculation protocol will ignore crossing quotes and shall execute orders up to the first uncrossed NBBO. In doing so, the Exchange will only utilize the SIP data feeds to establish the first uncrossed NBBO. 7 Adoption of an outbound order routing functionality is subject to Commission approval pursuant to Rule 19b–4 under the Act. 8 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 5 In VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:16 Aug 04, 2014 Jkt 232001 In particular, the proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,9 because it would promote just and equitable principles of trade, remove impediments to, and perfect the mechanism of, a free and open market and a national market system. Specifically, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule concerning the Exchange’s use of the SIP market data feeds will enhance transparency concerning the operation of the Exchange. This will, in turn, promote the public confidence and strengthen the national market system. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change implicates any competitive issues. To the contrary, the Exchange anticipates that other national securities exchanges will also adopt similar rules outlining their respective use of data feeds and this proposed rule will ensure consistent treatment of this subject matter in the respective rulebooks. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others No written comments were either solicited or received. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action The Exchange has designated this rule filing as non-controversial under Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 10 and paragraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b–4 thereunder.11 Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate if consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, it has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 12 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.13 9 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).

In addition, as required under Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange provided the Commission with written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief description and the text of the proposed rule change, at least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. 10 15 PO 00000 Frm 00150 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 45571 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. If the Commission takes such action, the Commission will institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or disapproved. IV.

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 On June 5, 2014, in a speech entitled ‘‘Enhancing Our Market Equity Structure,’’ [sic] Mary Jo White, Chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’ or the ‘‘Commission’’) requested the equity exchanges to file with the Commission the data feeds used for purposes of (1) order handling and execution (e.g., with pegged or midpoint orders); (2) order routing, and (3) regulatory compliance, if applicable.4 Subsequent to the Chair’s speech, the Division of Trading and Markets stated that it ‘‘believes there is a need for clarity regarding whether (1) the SIP data feeds, (2) proprietary data feeds, or (3) a combination thereof,’’ are used for these purposes and requested that proposed rule changes be filed that disclose such information.5 The stated goal of disclosing this information is to provide broker-dealers and investors with enhanced transparency to better assess the quality of an exchange’s execution and routing services. The data feeds available for the purposes of order handling and execution, order routing, and regulatory compliance include the exclusive securities information processor (‘‘SIP’’) data feeds 6 or proprietary data feeds from individual market centers. 4 See Mary Jo White, Chair, Securities and Exchange Commission, Speech at the Sandler, O’Neill & Partners, L.P. Global Exchange and Brokerage Conference (June 5, 2014) (available at www.sec.gov/News/Speech/Detail/Speech/ 1370542004312#.U5HI-fmwJiw). 5 See Letter from James Burns, Deputy Director, Division of Trading and Markets, Securities and Exchange Commission, to Jeffrey C. Sprecher, Chief Executive Officer, Intercontinental Exchange, Inc., dated June 20, 2014. 6 The SIP feeds are disseminated pursuant to effective joint-industry plans as required by Rule 603(b) of Regulation NMS. 17 CFR 242.603(b). The three joint-industry plans are: (1) The CTA Plan, which is operated by the Consolidated Tape Association and disseminates transaction information for securities with the primary listing market on exchanges other than NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (‘‘Nasdaq’’): (2) The CQ Plan, which disseminates consolidated quotation information for securities with their primary listing on exchanges other than Nasdaq; and (3) the Nasdaq UTP Plan, which disseminates consolidated PO 00000 Frm 00151 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 (i) Overview of Exchange Rules Governing Order Handling, Execution, and Routing The Exchange adopted its order execution and order routing rules to comply with Regulation NMS.7 As such, before executing any arriving or resting interest, the Exchange evaluates whether the execution would trade through a protected quotation 8 in violation of Rule 611 of Regulation NMS (‘‘Rule 611’’),9 and if so, whether it is eligible for an exception to Rule 611. The Exchange also evaluates whether displaying a bid or offer would result in locking or crossing a protected quotation in violation of Rule 610(d) of Regulation NMS (‘‘Rule 610(d)’’),10 or if it is eligible for an exception to Rule 610(d). If any protected quotation is superior to the Exchange’s best bid or offer, the Exchange may route a marketable order as an Intermarket Sweep Order (‘‘ISO’’) 11 (if consistent with the order’s instructions), unless a trade-through exception applies under Rule 611(b). Likewise, if the display of an order would lock or cross a protected quotation, the Exchange may route such interest to one or more protected quotations, if consistent with the order’s instructions. In addition, if consistent with an order’s instructions, the Exchange may also route an order to other available quotes in the Exchange’s routing determination.12 The Exchange further notes that its routing brokers do transaction and quotation information for securities with their primary listing on Nasdaq. 7 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54549 (Sept. 29, 2006), 71 FR 59179 (Oct. 6, 2006) (SR– NYSEArca–2006–59) (Order approving the Exchange’s rule proposal to bring its rules into conformity with Regulation NMS). 8 A ‘‘protected bid’’ or ‘‘protected offer’’ means a quotation in an NMS stock that (i) is displayed by an automated trading center; (ii) is disseminated pursuant to an effective national market system plan; and (iii) is an automated quotation that is the best bid or best offer of a national securities exchange, the best bid or best offer of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., or the best bid or best offer of a national securities association other than the best bid or best offer of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. 17 CFR 242.600(b)(57). A ‘‘protected quotation’’ means a protected bid or a protected offer. See 17 CRF 242.600(b)(58). The PBBO is the best-priced protected bid and the best-priced protected offer. 9 17 CFR 242.611. 10 17 CFR 242.610(d). 11 An ISO is defined as a limit order for a NMS Stock that (i) when routed to a trading center, is identified as an ISO; and (ii) simultaneously with the routing of the ISO, one or more additional limit orders, as necessary, are routed to execute against the full displayed size of any protected bid, in the case of a limit order to sell, or the full displayed size of any protected offer, in the case of a limit order to buy, for the MNMS [sic] stock with a price that is superior to the limit price of the ISO. See also Rule 7.37(d)(2)(B)(i) 12 See NYSE Arca Equities Rules 7.37(d)(2)(A) and 7.37(d)(4). E:\FR\FM\05AUN1.SGM 05AUN1

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc.; 
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change 
Concerning the Use of Market Data Feeds by the Exchange

the ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and 
II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The 
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    CHX proposes to adopt Article 1, Rule 4, to provide that the 
consolidated market data feed disseminated by the securities 
information processors shall be the only market data feed utilized by 
the Exchange for all operational and regulatory compliance purposes. 
The Exchange has designated this proposal as non-controversial and 
provided the Commission with the notice required by Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) under the Act.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).

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 CHX included statements 
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule changes 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 CHX has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, 
B and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

[[Page 45571]]

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to adopt Article 1, Rule 4 to provide that 
the consolidated market data disseminated by the securities information 
processors (``SIPs'') \4\ (``SIP data feeds'') shall be the only market 
data feed utilized by the Exchange for all operational and regulatory 
compliance purposes. The SIP data feeds are the only data feeds the 
Exchange currently utilizes for all operational and regulatory 
compliance purposes. Thus, the Exchange does not utilize any direct 
proprietary market data feeds from any external market for such 
purposes.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See 15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(22)(A).
    \5\ In addition to the SIP data feeds, the Exchange utilizes its 
own internal data regarding its own market for operational and 
regulatory compliance purposes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For example, the Exchange only utilizes the SIP data feeds to 
calculate the National Best Bid and Offer (``NBBO'') for the purposes 
of compliance with Regulation NMS and Regulation SHO. The Exchange does 
not ignore or modify SIP quote data for the purposes of establishing 
the NBBO under any circumstances where the SIP data feed shows an 
uncrossed market.\6\ Similarly, the Exchange utilizes the SIP data 
feeds in its surveillance of order and trade activity on the Exchange, 
when applicable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Pursuant to Paragraph .01(d) of CHX Article 20, Rule 5, the 
Exchange's NBBO calculation protocol will ignore crossing quotes and 
shall execute orders up to the first uncrossed NBBO. In doing so, 
the Exchange will only utilize the SIP data feeds to establish the 
first uncrossed NBBO.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange notes that it does not currently offer outbound order 
routing from the Exchange. If the Exchange implements outbound routing 
in the future, the Exchange intends for its routing facilities to only 
utilize the SIP data feeds.\7\ The Exchange also notes that it does not 
currently offer pegged orders, which are orders that have a limit price 
that tracks the NBBO, such as the midpoint of the NBBO.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Adoption of an outbound order routing functionality is 
subject to Commission approval pursuant to Rule 19b-4 under the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal 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(b) of the Act.\8\ In particular, the 
proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\9\ because it 
would promote just and equitable principles of trade, remove 
impediments to, and perfect the mechanism of, a free and open market 
and a national market system. Specifically, the Exchange believes that 
the proposed rule concerning the Exchange's use of the SIP market data 
feeds will enhance transparency concerning the operation of the 
Exchange. This will, in turn, promote the public confidence and 
strengthen the national market system.

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change 
implicates any competitive issues. To the contrary, the Exchange 
anticipates that other national securities exchanges will also adopt 
similar rules outlining their respective use of data feeds and this 
proposed rule will ensure consistent treatment of this subject matter 
in the respective rulebooks.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 
Commission Action

    The Exchange has designated this rule filing as non-controversial 
under Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \10\ and paragraph (f)(6) of Rule 
19b-4 thereunder.\11\ Because the foregoing proposed rule change does 
not: (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public 
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) 
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or 
such shorter time as the Commission may designate if consistent with 
the protection of investors and the public interest, it has become 
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \12\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\13\

19b-4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange provided the Commission with written 
notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a 
brief description and the text of the proposed rule change, at least 
five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule 
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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. If the Commission 
takes such action, the Commission will institute proceedings to 
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or 
disapproved.
