Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 219 / Thursday, November 13, 2014 / Notices
Exchange believes that the proposed
rule change is not intended to address
competitive issues but rather to achieve
greater consistency between the
Exchange’s rules and FINRA’s rules
concerning supervision.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
No written comments were solicited
or received with respect to the proposed
rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The Exchange has filed the proposed
rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 25 and Rule
19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.26 Because the
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
prior to 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, the
proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)
of the Act and Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii)
thereunder.
A proposed rule change filed under
Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 27 normally does not
become operative prior to 30 days after
the date of the filing. However, pursuant
to Rule 19b4(f)(6)(iii),28 the Commission
may designate a shorter period of time
if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public
interest. The Exchange has asked the
Commission to waive the 30-day
operative delay so that the proposal may
become operative immediately upon
filing.
The Commission believes that
waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest,
because it allows the Exchange to
immediately conform its supervision
rules to corresponding FINRA rules.
This will ensure that Dual Members
generally will be subject to a single set
of rules governing supervision. As noted
by the Exchange, the proposal would
harmonize NYSE and FINRA rules,
resulting in less burdensome and more
efficient regulatory compliance. In
addition, the proposal will update and

Self-Regulatory Organizations; BOX
Options Exchange LLC; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of
a Proposed Rule Change To Amend
the Fee Schedule on the BOX Market
LLC (‘‘BOX’’) Options Facility
November 6, 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 October
31, 2014, BOX Options Exchange LLC
(the ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(the ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule
change as described in Items I, II, and
III below, which Items have been
prepared by the Exchange. The
Exchange filed the proposed rule change
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the
Act,3 and Rule 19b–4(f)(2) thereunder,4
which renders the proposal effective
upon filing with the Commission. 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
The Exchange is filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) a proposed rule change
to amend the Fee Schedule to amend
the Fee Schedule [sic] on the BOX
Market LLC (‘‘BOX’’) options facility.
While changes to the fee schedule
pursuant to this proposal will be
effective upon filing, the changes will
become operative on November 1, 2014.
The text of the proposed rule change is
available from the principal office of the
Exchange, at the Commission’s Public
Reference Room and also on the
Exchange’s Internet Web site at https://
boxexchange.com.
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 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 make a
number of changes to the BOX Fee
Schedule.
Exchange Fees
Non-Auction Transactions
First, the Exchange proposes to
amend Section I (Exchange Fees) to
establish a subsection entitled ‘‘Non-
Auction Transactions.’’ 5 The Exchange
then proposes to adopt the current fee
structure for Non-Auction Transactions
in Select Symbols for all Non-Auction
transactions on BOX. With this change
the Select Symbols fee structure
outlined in Section I.C. of the BOX Fee
Schedule will be removed.
Currently, Non-Auction Transactions
in non-Select Symbols are subject to the
fee structure outlined in Section I of the
BOX Fee Schedule. For every NonAuction Transaction, Public Customers
are assessed a $0.07 fee per contract and
Professional Customers and Broker
Dealers $0.42 per contract. Market
Makers are assessed a per contract fee
based upon the Market Maker’s Monthly
ADV in all transactions executed on
BOX, as calculated at the end of each
month. All Non-Auction Transactions
for that month are charged the same per
contract fee according to the ADV
achieved by the Market Maker, which
ranges from $0.13 to $0.35.
In proposed Section I.A. (NonAuction Transactions), the Exchange
proposes to adopt a pricing model
where the Exchange will assess
transaction fees and credits dependent
upon three factors: (i) The account type
of the Participant submitting the order;
(ii) whether the Participant is a liquidity
provider or liquidity taker; and (iii) the
account type of the contra party. NonAuction Transactions in Penny Pilot
Classes will also be assessed different
fees or credits than Non-Auction
Transactions in Non-Penny Pilot
Classes.
The Exchange also proposes to specify
that these transactions will now be
exempt from the Liquidity Fees and
Credits outlined in Section II of the BOX
Fee Schedule. The proposed fee
structure for all Non-Auction
Transactions is as follows:
Penny pilot classes
