would provide the public and investors
with information about which data
feeds the Exchange uses for execution
and routing decisions.
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
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 for 30 days from the date on
which it was filed, or such shorter time
as the Commission may designate, the
proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to section 19(b)(3)(A)
of the Act 13 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6)
thereunder.14
A proposed rule change filed
pursuant to Rule 19b–4(f)(6) under the
Act 15 normally does not become
operative for 30 days after the date of its
filing. However, Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) 16
permits the Commission to designate a
shorter 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 Exchange stated that waiver
of the operative delay will permit the
Exchange to immediately provide the
enhanced transparency in Exchange
rules. The Commission believes the
waiver of the operative delay is
consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest.
Therefore, the Commission hereby
waives the operative delay and
designates the proposal operative upon
filing.17
At any time within 60 days of the
filing of the proposed rule change, the

U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 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.

16 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii).

operative delay, the Commission has also
considered the proposed rule’s impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See

Commission summarily may
temporarily suspend such rule change if
it appears to the Commission that such
action is necessary or appropriate in the

the purposes of the Act. If the

Commission shall institute proceedings
to determine whether the proposed rule
should be approved or disapproved.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; BATS

Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed
Rule Change To Amend Rule 11.22 To
Update the Names of Certain Market
Data Products
March 2, 2015.
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 February
18, 2015, BATS Y-Exchange, Inc. (the
‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘BYX’’) 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

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 parts of such
statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend
Rule 11.22, Data Products, to update the
names of certain products to align with
recent changes made to the names of the
same products in the Exchange’s fee
schedule. On February 3, 2015, the
Exchange filed a proposed rule change
with the Commission that, among other
things, amended the Exchange’s fee
schedule to rename ‘‘BZX Exchange
PITCH Feed’’ as the ‘‘BZX Depth’’,
‘‘BZX Exchange Top Feed’’ as ‘‘BZX
Top’’, ‘‘BZX Exchange Historical TOP’’
as ‘‘BZX Historical Top’’, and
‘‘Historical PITCH’’ as ‘‘Historical
Depth.’’ The Exchange now proposes to
rename the following data products
under Rule 11.22 to align with these
changes: (i) ‘‘TCP PITCH’’ under
subparagraph (a) would be renamed
‘‘TCP Depth’’; (ii) ‘‘Multicast PITCH’’
under subparagraph (c) would be
renamed ‘‘Multicast Depth’’; and (iii)
‘‘TOP’’ under subparagraph (d) would
be renamed ‘‘Top’’. The Exchange does
not propose to amend the content or any
other aspect of these market data
products.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its
proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)
of the Act 5 in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act 6
in particular, in that it is designed 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

U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).

public interest. The Exchange does not
believe that this proposal will permit
unfair discrimination among customers,
brokers, or dealers because it will apply
to all Users. The proposed rule change
does not propose to amend the content
or any other aspect of these market data
products. Rather, it is simply proposes
to align the naming convention of the
Exchange’s market data products across
its rules and fee schedule, making the
Exchange’s rules clearer and less
confusing for investors. Therefore, the
Exchange believes the proposed rule
change removes impediments to and
perfects the mechanism of a free and
open market and a national market
system, and, in general, protects
investors and the public interest.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposal will impose any burden on
competition not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. The proposed rule
change is not designed to address any
competitive issues but rather avoid
investor confusion by providing
consistency amongst the naming
conventions used for the Exchange
market data products.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants or Others
The Exchange has neither solicited
nor received written 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
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, it has
become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 7 and
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b–4
thereunder.8
A proposed rule change filed under
Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 9 normally does not
become operative prior to 30 days after
7 15
U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b–
4(f)(6) requires a self-regulatory organization to give
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 Exchange has satisfied this
requirement.

the date of the filing. However, pursuant
to Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii),10 the
Commission may designate a shorter
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 the Exchange may
clarify its rules by making them
consistent throughout by reflecting a
change in naming conventions used for
Exchange market data products. The
Commission believes that waiving the
30-day operative delay is consistent
with the protection of investors and the
public interest because it will allow the
Exchange to provide consistency within
their rules and avoid potential investor
confusion. Therefore, the Commission
hereby waives the 30-day operative
delay and designates the proposed rule
change to be operative upon filing with
the Commission.11
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: (i) Necessary or appropriate in
the public interest; (ii) for the protection
of investors; or (iii) otherwise in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
If the Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings
to determine whether the proposed rule
should be approved or disapproved.

including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange filed a proposal to amend Rule 11.22, Data Products,
to update the names of certain products to align with recent changes
made to the names of the same products in the Exchange's fee schedule.
The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
Web site at www.batstrading.com, at the principal office of the
Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.
[[Page 12243]]
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 parts 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 Rule 11.22, Data Products, to update
the names of certain products to align with recent changes made to the
names of the same products in the Exchange's fee schedule. On February
3, 2015, the Exchange filed a proposed rule change with the Commission
that, among other things, amended the Exchange's fee schedule to rename
``BZX Exchange PITCH Feed'' as the ``BZX Depth'', ``BZX Exchange Top
Feed'' as ``BZX Top'', ``BZX Exchange Historical TOP'' as ``BZX
Historical Top'', and ``Historical PITCH'' as ``Historical Depth.'' The
Exchange now proposes to rename the following data products under Rule
11.22 to align with these changes: (i) ``TCP PITCH'' under subparagraph
(a) would be renamed ``TCP Depth''; (ii) ``Multicast PITCH'' under
subparagraph (c) would be renamed ``Multicast Depth''; and (iii)
``TOP'' under subparagraph (d) would be renamed ``Top''. The Exchange
does not propose to amend the content or any other aspect of these
market data products.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act \5\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act \6\ in particular, in that it is designed 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. The Exchange does not
believe that this proposal will permit unfair discrimination among
customers, brokers, or dealers because it will apply to all Users. The
proposed rule change does not propose to amend the content or any other
aspect of these market data products. Rather, it is simply proposes to
align the naming convention of the Exchange's market data products
across its rules and fee schedule, making the Exchange's rules clearer
and less confusing for investors. Therefore, the Exchange believes the
proposed rule change removes impediments to and perfects the mechanism
of a free and open market and a national market system, and, in
general, protects investors and the public interest.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that the proposal will impose any
burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change is not designed to
address any competitive issues but rather avoid investor confusion by
providing consistency amongst the naming conventions used for the
Exchange market data products.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others
The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written 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 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, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \7\ and
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
\8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give 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 Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \9\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\10\ the Commission
may designate a shorter 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 the Exchange may
clarify its rules by making them consistent throughout by reflecting a
change in naming conventions used for Exchange market data products.
The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest
because it will allow the Exchange to provide consistency within their
rules and avoid potential investor confusion. Therefore, the Commission
hereby waives the 30-day operative delay and designates the proposed
rule change to be operative upon filing with the Commission.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
\10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
\11\ For purposes only of waiving the operative delay for this
proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact
on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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: (i)
Necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the
protection of investors; or (iii) otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the
proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.
