Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To Amend the Fees Schedule, 62237-62239 [2014-24541]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 200 / Thursday, October 16, 2014 / Notices adequately demonstrated that the proprietary data at issue in the case is used to attract order flow. The Exchange believes, however, that evidence not then before the court clearly demonstrates that availability of data attracts order flow. Due to competition among platforms, the Exchange intends to improve its platform data offerings on a continuing basis, and to respond promptly to customers’ data needs. The intensity of competition for proprietary information is significant and the Exchange believes that this proposal itself clearly evidences such competition. The Exchange is offering AIS in order to keep pace with changes in the industry and evolving customer needs. It is entirely optional and is geared towards attracting new Member Applicants and customers. MIAX competitors continue to create new market data products and innovative pricing in this space. The Exchange expects to see firms challenge its pricing on the basis of the Exchange’s explicit fees being higher than the zero-priced fees from other competitors such as BATS. In all cases, the Exchange expects firms to make decisions on how much and what types of data to consume on the basis of the total cost of interacting with MIAX or other exchanges. Of course, the explicit data fees are only one factor in a total platform analysis. Some competitors have lower transactions fees and higher data fees, and others are vice versa. The market for this proprietary information is highly competitive and continually evolves as products develop and change. asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES C.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 1. Purpose The Exchange proposes to amend its Fees Schedule, to be effective October 1, 2014. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to increase the Customer Priority Surcharge fee assessed to contracts executed in VIX volatility index options (‘‘VIX options’’). Currently, the VIX Customer Priority Surcharge (‘‘Surcharge’’) is assessed on all Customer (C) VIX contracts executed electronically that are Maker and not Market Turner. Additionally, the surcharge is only assessed on such contracts that have a premium of $0.11 or greater. The Exchange proposes to increase the Surcharge from $0.05 per contract to $0.10 per contract on such contracts that have a premium of $0.11 or greater. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ‘‘Act’’) and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.3 Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) 4 requirements that the rules of an exchange be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitation transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. The Exchange also believes the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,5 which provides that Exchange rules may provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its Trading Permit Holders. The Exchange believes that the VIX Customer Priority Surcharge increase is reasonable because the amount of the new fee is within the range of surcharges assessed for customer transactions in other CBOE proprietary 3 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). 5 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4). 4 15 VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:19 Oct 15, 2014 Jkt 235001 products (for example customers are currently assessed a $0.20 Hybrid 3.0 Execution Surcharge (which essentially acts as a customer priority surcharge) in SPX options). The Exchange believes that it is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory to assess the VIX Priority Surcharge to Customers and not other market participants because Customers are not subject to additional costs for effecting transactions in VIX which are applicable to other market participants, such as license surcharges. Additionally, Customers are not subject to fees applicable to other market participants such as connectivity fees and fees relating to Trading Permits, and are not subject to the same obligations as other market participants, including regulatory and compliance requirements and quoting obligations. The Exchange believes that it is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory to only assess the Surcharge to Maker Non-Turners because the Exchange wants to encourage improving the market (‘‘turning’’). The Exchange believes that it is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory to only assess this fee when the contract premium is at least $0.11 because the Exchange wants to reduce costs on low priced VIX options to encourage Customers to close and roll over positions close to expiration at low premium levels. Currently, such Customers are less likely to do this because the transaction fee is closer to the premium level. The Exchange believes that maintaining lowered fees overall for VIX options trading with a premium of $0.00–$0.10 will encourage the trading of such options. As such, the Exchange does not wish to assess Customer Priority Surcharge on such options in order to keep the costs low. The Exchange believes that increasing the customer priority surcharge for VIX options and not VXST is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because VXST is a relatively new product that the Exchange has expended significant resources in developing and believes that not assessing a higher surcharge will encourage trading in VXST. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition CBOE 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 because, while different electronic transaction fees are assessed to different market participants, different market participants have different obligations and circumstances as noted above. The PO 00000 Frm 00147 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Exchange believes that the proposal to increase the surcharge amount assessed to Customers for executions in VIX contracts will not cause an unnecessary burden on intermarket competition because the proposed change was not motivated by intermarket competition. Additionally, VIX is only traded on CBOE. To the extent that the proposed changes make CBOE a more attractive marketplace for market participants at other exchanges, such market participants are welcome to become CBOE market participants. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others The Exchange neither solicited nor received 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 6 and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b–4 7 thereunder. 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 text of the proposed rule change is below; proposed new language is in italics; proposed deletions are in brackets. * * * * * F–27 Options Exchange Official Rulings Options Exchange Officials are empowered to render rulings on the trading floor to resolve trading disputes occurring on and respecting activities on the trading floor. All rulings rendered by Options Exchange Officials are effective immediately and must be complied with promptly. Failure to promptly comply with a ruling concerning a trading dispute may result in referral to the Business Conduct Committee. Failure to promptly comply with other rulings issued pursuant to Order and Decorum Regulations or Floor Procedure Advices and not concerning a trading dispute may result in an additional violation. Options Exchange Officials need not render decisions in any instance where the request for a ruling was not made within a reasonable period of time. An Options Exchange Official should not render a decision or authorize a citation where such Options Exchange Official was involved in or affected by the dispute, as well as in any situation where the Options Exchange Official is not able to objectively and fairly render a decision. Options Exchange Officials shall endeavor to be prompt in rendering decisions. However, in any instance where an Options Exchange Official has determined that the benefits of further discovery as to the facts and circumstances of any matter under review outweigh the monetary risks of a delayed ruling, the Options Exchange Official may determine to delay rendering the ruling until such time as that further discovery is completed. In issuing decisions for the resolution of trading disputes, Options Exchange PO 00000 Frm 00148 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 62239 Officials shall institute the course of action deemed by the ruling Options Exchange Official to be more fair to all parties under the circumstances at the time. An Options Exchange Official may direct the execution of an order on the floor, or adjust the transaction terms or participants to an executed order on the floor. However, an Options Exchange Official may nullify a transaction if they determine the transaction to have been in violation of Rule Rules 1014 (Obligations and Restrictions Applicable to Specialists and Registered Options Traders), Rule 1017 (Openings In Options), Rule 1033 (Bids And OffersPremium) or Rule 1080 (Phlx XL and Phlx XL II). Exchange staff may determine that an Options Exchange Official is ineligible to participate in a particular ruling where it appears that such Options Exchange Official has a conflict of interest. For purposes of this Rule, and without limitation, a conflict of interest exists where an Options Exchange Official: (a) Is directly or indirectly affiliated with a party seeking an Options Exchange Official ruling; (b) is a participant or is directly or indirectly affiliated with a participant in a transaction that is the subject of an Options Exchange Official ruling; (c) is a debtor or creditor of a party seeking an Options Exchange Official ruling; or (d) is an immediate family member of a party seeking an Options Exchange Official ruling. Exchange staff may consider other circumstances, on a caseby-case basis, in determining the eligibility or ineligibility of a particular Options Exchange Official to participate in a particular ruling due to a conflict of interest. All Options Exchange Official rulings concerning the adjustment and nullification of transactions are reviewable by the [Referee (as defined in Rule 124)] Market Operations Review Committee.

    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

[[Page 62238]]

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 its Fees Schedule, to be effective 
October 1, 2014. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to increase the 
Customer Priority Surcharge fee assessed to contracts executed in VIX 
volatility index options (``VIX options''). Currently, the VIX Customer 
Priority Surcharge (``Surcharge'') is assessed on all Customer (C) VIX 
contracts executed electronically that are Maker and not Market Turner. 
Additionally, the surcharge is only assessed on such contracts that 
have a premium of $0.11 or greater. The Exchange proposes to increase 
the Surcharge from $0.05 per contract to $0.10 per contract on such 
contracts that have a premium of $0.11 or greater.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with 
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') and the rules and 
regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular, 
the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\3\ Specifically, the 
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the 
Section 6(b)(5) \4\ requirements that the rules of an exchange be 
designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to 
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation 
and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, 
settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitation 
transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the 
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and, 
in general, to protect investors and the public interest. The Exchange 
also believes the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 
6(b)(4) of the Act,\5\ which provides that Exchange rules may provide 
for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other 
charges among its Trading Permit Holders.

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the VIX Customer Priority Surcharge 
increase is reasonable because the amount of the new fee is within the 
range of surcharges assessed for customer transactions in other CBOE 
proprietary products (for example customers are currently assessed a 
$0.20 Hybrid 3.0 Execution Surcharge (which essentially acts as a 
customer priority surcharge) in SPX options).
    The Exchange believes that it is equitable and not unfairly 
discriminatory to assess the VIX Priority Surcharge to Customers and 
not other market participants because Customers are not subject to 
additional costs for effecting transactions in VIX which are applicable 
to other market participants, such as license surcharges. Additionally, 
Customers are not subject to fees applicable to other market 
participants such as connectivity fees and fees relating to Trading 
Permits, and are not subject to the same obligations as other market 
participants, including regulatory and compliance requirements and 
quoting obligations. The Exchange believes that it is equitable and not 
unfairly discriminatory to only assess the Surcharge to Maker Non-
Turners because the Exchange wants to encourage improving the market 
(``turning'').
    The Exchange believes that it is equitable and not unfairly 
discriminatory to only assess this fee when the contract premium is at 
least $0.11 because the Exchange wants to reduce costs on low priced 
VIX options to encourage Customers to close and roll over positions 
close to expiration at low premium levels. Currently, such Customers 
are less likely to do this because the transaction fee is closer to the 
premium level. The Exchange believes that maintaining lowered fees 
overall for VIX options trading with a premium of $0.00-$0.10 will 
encourage the trading of such options. As such, the Exchange does not 
wish to assess Customer Priority Surcharge on such options in order to 
keep the costs low.
    The Exchange believes that increasing the customer priority 
surcharge for VIX options and not VXST is equitable and not unfairly 
discriminatory because VXST is a relatively new product that the 
Exchange has expended significant resources in developing and believes 
that not assessing a higher surcharge will encourage trading in VXST.

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

    CBOE 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 because, while different 
electronic transaction fees are assessed to different market 
participants, different market participants have different obligations 
and circumstances as noted above. The Exchange believes that the 
proposal to increase the surcharge amount assessed to Customers for 
executions in VIX contracts will not cause an unnecessary burden on 
intermarket competition because the proposed change was not motivated 
by intermarket competition. Additionally, VIX is only traded on CBOE. 
To the extent that the proposed changes make CBOE a more attractive 
marketplace for market participants at other exchanges, such market 
participants are welcome to become CBOE market participants.

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

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received 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 \6\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \7\ 
thereunder. 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.
