Introduction: In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’ or ‘‘SEC’’) proposes to revise the system of records titled ‘‘Information Pertaining or Relevant to SEC Regulated Entities and Their Activities (SEC–55). The Information Pertaining or Relevant to SEC Regulated Entities and Their Activities (SEC–55) records are used by SEC personnel in connection with their official functions, including but not limited to, conducting examinations for compliance with federal securities law, investigating possible violations of federal securities laws, and other matters relating to SEC regulatory and law enforcement functions. Substantive changes to SEC–55 have been made to the following sections: (1) Name, to clarify the type of records in the system; (2) Categories of Individuals, to clarify the specific individuals covered in the system of records; (3) Categories of Records, modified to include specific data elements collected on individuals, name, address, telephone number, and email address; and (4) Routine Uses, to expand by one new routine use located at number 22. Additional minor administrative changes have been made to the Safeguards section, to clarify internal handling practices for the records; and to the System Manager(s) and Address Section, to update the Commission’s current address. VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:32 Nov 21, 2014 Jkt 235001 Purpose: The records are used by SEC personnel in connection with their official functions including but not limited to, conducting examinations for compliance with federal securities law, investigating possible violations of federal securities laws, and other matters relating to SEC regulatory and law enforcement functions. Authority: 15 U.S.C. 78a et seq., 80a– 1 et seq., and 80b–1 et seq. Probable effect on individual privacy or other rights: The records in this system may reveal personal information about individuals. We will disclose information under the routine uses only as necessary to accomplish the stated purpose. We do not anticipate that the routine use disclosures will have an unwarranted adverse effect on the rights of the individuals to whom the records pertain. Security provided for this system: Access to SEC facilities, data centers, and information or information systems is limited to authorized personnel with official duties requiring access. SEC facilities are equipped with security cameras and 24-hour security guard service. The records are kept in limited access areas during duty hours and secured areas at all other times. Computerized records are safeguarded in secured, encrypted environment. Security protocols meet the promulgating guidance as established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Security Standards from Access Control to Data Encryption, and Security Assessment & Authorization (SA&A). Records will be maintained in a secure, passwordprotected electronic system that will utilize commensurate safeguards that may include: firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and role-based access controls. Additional safeguards will vary by program. All records are protected from unauthorized access through appropriate administrative, operational, and technical safeguards. These safeguards include: restricting access to authorized personnel who have a ‘‘need to know’’; using locks; and password protection identification features. Contractors and other recipients providing services to the Commission shall be required to maintain equivalent safeguards. Compatibility of routine uses: The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(a)(7) and (b)(3)) and SEC disclosure regulation (17 CFR 200, Subpart H) permit disclosure of information under a published routine use for a purpose that is compatible with the purpose for which the information was collected. The routine uses are appropriate and meet the relevant statutory and regulatory PO 00000 Frm 00079 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 criteria; are compatible with the purposes of this system; and will ensure efficient administration of the records contained in the system. OMB Requirements: A report of this revised system of records must be transmitted to OMB. OPM Requirements: None.

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 November 12, 2014, C2 Options Exchange, Incorporated (the ‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘C2’’) 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 proposal as a ‘‘non-controversial’’ proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 3 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.4 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 C2 proposes to amend Rule 6.4 by extending the Penny Pilot Program through June 30, 2015. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange’s Web site (https://www.cboe. com/AboutCBOE/CBOELegalRegulatory Home.aspx), at the Exchange’s Office of the Secretary, and at 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 Exchange included statements 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

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 the Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 1. Purpose The Penny Pilot Program (the ‘‘Pilot Program’’) is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2014. C2 proposes to extend the Pilot Program until June 30, 2015. C2 believes that extending the Pilot Program will allow for further analysis of the Pilot Program and a determination of how the Pilot Program should be structured in the future. During this extension of the Pilot Program, C2 proposes that it may replace any option class that is currently included in the Pilot Program and that has been delisted with the next most actively traded, multiply listed option class that is not yet participating in the Pilot Program (‘‘replacement class’’). Any replacement class would be determined based on national average daily volume in the preceding six months,5 and would be added on the second trading day following January 1, 2015. C2 will announce to its Trading Permit Holders by circular any replacement classes in the Pilot Program. The Exchange notes that it intends to utilize the same parameters to prospective replacement classes as was originally approved. C2 is specifically authorized to act jointly with the other options exchanges participating in the Pilot Program in identifying any replacement class. 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.6 Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Section 5 The month immediately preceding a replacement class’s addition to the Pilot Program (i.e. December) would not be used for purposes of the six-month analysis. Thus, a replacement class to be added on the second trading day following January 1, 2015 would be identified based on The Option Clearing Corporation’s trading volume data from June 1, 2014 through November 30, 2014. 6 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).

Additionally, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) 8 requirement that the rules of an exchange not be designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers. In particular, the proposed rule change allows for an extension of the Pilot Program for the benefit of market participants. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition C2 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. Specifically, the Exchange believes that, by extending the expiration of the Pilot Program, the proposed rule change will allow for further analysis of the Pilot Program and a determination of how the Program shall be structured in the future. In doing so, the proposed rule change will also serve to promote regulatory clarity and consistency, thereby reducing burdens on the marketplace and facilitating investor protection. In addition, the Exchange has been authorized to act jointly in extending the Pilot Program and believes the other exchanges will be filing similar extensions. 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 Because the foregoing proposed rule 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 7 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).

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

Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods: Electronic Comments • Use the Commission’s Internet comment form (https://www.sec.gov/ rules/sro.shtml); or • Send an email to rule-comments@ sec.gov.

(the ‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘NYSE Arca’’) 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 selfregulatory organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). 2 15 U.S.C. 78a. 3 17 CFR 240.19b–4. I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The Exchange proposes a change to the Market Data Fee Schedule regarding non-display use fees for NYSE Arca Integrated Feed, NYSE ArcaBook, NYSE Arca Trades and NYSE Arca BBO, the market data products to which nondisplay use fees apply. Specifically, with respect to the three categories of, and fees applicable to, market data recipients for non-display use, the Exchange proposes to describe the three categories in the Market Data Fee Schedule. In September 2014, the Exchange revised the fees for non-display use of NYSE Arca Integrated Feed, NYSE ArcaBook, NYSE Arca Trades and NYSE Arca BBO.4 In the 2014 Filing, the Exchange proposed certain changes to the categories of, and fees applicable to, data recipients for non-display use. As set forth in the 2014 Filing: (i) Category 1 Fees apply when a data recipient’s non-display use of real-time market data is on its own behalf as opposed to use on behalf of its clients; (ii) Category 2 Fees apply when a data recipient’s nondisplay use of real-time market data is on behalf of its clients as opposed to use on its own behalf; and (iii) Category 3 Fees apply when a data recipient’s nondisplay use of real-time market data is for the purpose of internally matching buy and sell orders within an organization, including matching customer orders on a data recipient’s own behalf and/or on behalf of its clients. The Market Data Fee Schedule currently lists each category as Category 1, Category 2, and Category 3, without further description. The Exchange is proposing to amend the Market Data Fee Schedule to add the descriptions of the three categories, as set forth above, as a footnote to the Market Data Fee Schedule. Because there will now be multiple footnotes to the Market Data Fee Schedule, the Exchange proposes non-substantive edits to change the existing footnote references from asterisks to numbers. 2. Statutory Basis The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) 5 of the Act, in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) 6 of the Act, in particular, in that it is 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 facilitating 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, and it is not designed to permit unfair discrimination among customers, brokers, or dealers. The Exchange believes that adding the description of the three categories of data recipients for non-display use to the Market Data Fee Schedule will remove impediments to and help perfect a free and open market by providing greater transparency for the Exchange’s customers regarding the category descriptions that have been previously filed with the Commission and are applicable to the existing Market Data Fee Schedule.7 B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange 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 the Exchange is merely adding to the Market Data Fee Schedule information 11 17 1 15 VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:32 Nov 21, 2014 4 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 73011 (September 5, 2014), 79 FR 54315 (September 11, 2014) (SR–NYSEARCA–2014–93) (‘‘2014 Filing’’).

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

    C2 proposes to amend Rule 6.4 by extending the Penny Pilot Program 
through June 30, 2015. The text of the proposed rule change is 
available on the Exchange's Web site (https://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), at the Exchange's Office of the 
Secretary, and at 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 Exchange included statements

[[Page 69901]]

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 the 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Penny Pilot Program (the ``Pilot Program'') is scheduled to 
expire on December 31, 2014. C2 proposes to extend the Pilot Program 
until June 30, 2015. C2 believes that extending the Pilot Program will 
allow for further analysis of the Pilot Program and a determination of 
how the Pilot Program should be structured in the future.
    During this extension of the Pilot Program, C2 proposes that it may 
replace any option class that is currently included in the Pilot 
Program and that has been delisted with the next most actively traded, 
multiply listed option class that is not yet participating in the Pilot 
Program (``replacement class''). Any replacement class would be 
determined based on national average daily volume in the preceding six 
months,\5\ and would be added on the second trading day following 
January 1, 2015. C2 will announce to its Trading Permit Holders by 
circular any replacement classes in the Pilot Program. The Exchange 
notes that it intends to utilize the same parameters to prospective 
replacement classes as was originally approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The month immediately preceding a replacement class's 
addition to the Pilot Program (i.e. December) would not be used for 
purposes of the six-month analysis. Thus, a replacement class to be 
added on the second trading day following January 1, 2015 would be 
identified based on The Option Clearing Corporation's trading volume 
data from June 1, 2014 through November 30, 2014.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    C2 is specifically authorized to act jointly with the other options 
exchanges participating in the Pilot Program in identifying any 
replacement class.
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.\6\ Specifically, the 
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the 
Section 6(b)(5) \7\ 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. Additionally, 
the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the 
Section 6(b)(5) \8\ requirement that the rules of an exchange not be 
designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, 
brokers, or dealers. In particular, the proposed rule change allows for 
an extension of the Pilot Program for the benefit of market 
participants.

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

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

    C2 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. Specifically, the Exchange 
believes that, by extending the expiration of the Pilot Program, the 
proposed rule change will allow for further analysis of the Pilot 
Program and a determination of how the Program shall be structured in 
the future. In doing so, the proposed rule change will also serve to 
promote regulatory clarity and consistency, thereby reducing burdens on 
the marketplace and facilitating investor protection. In addition, the 
Exchange has been authorized to act jointly in extending the Pilot 
Program and believes the other exchanges will be filing similar 
extensions.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule 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, provided that the self-regulatory 
organization has given the Commission written notice of its intent to 
file 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, the proposed rule change has become 
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\10\

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b 4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
