B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
Paper Comments
The proposed change to the ICC Rules
in order to incorporate references to the
2014 ISDA Definitions will apply
consistently across all Participants and
Non-Participant Parties and facilitates
changes sought to be made by the
industry throughout the CDS market.
ICC does not expect that the proposed
change will affect access to clearing for
Participants or their customers, or
materially affect the cost of clearing. As
a result, ICC does not believe the
proposed rule change would have any
impact, or impose any burden, on
competition not appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants or Others
Written comments relating to the
proposed rule change have not been
solicited by ICC. ICC will notify the
Commission of any written comments
received by ICC.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Within 45 days of the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register or within such longer period
up to 90 days (i) as the Commission may
designate if it finds such longer period
to be appropriate and publishes its
reasons for so finding or (ii) as to which
the self-regulatory organization
consents, the Commission will:
(A) by order approve or disapprove
such proposed rule change, or
(B) institute proceedings to determine
whether the proposed rule change
should be disapproved.

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
July 29, 2014.
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. The
CHX has prepared summaries, set forth
in sections A, B and C below, of the
most significant aspects of such
statements.

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 150 / Tuesday, August 5, 2014 / 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 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.

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

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.

At any time within 60 days of the

Commission summarily may

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

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/

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

(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)

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

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.

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

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.

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.
