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
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to update and
amend the table in Exchange Rule 3304
that sets forth on a market-by-market
basis the specific network processor and
proprietary data feeds that the Exchange
utilizes for the handling, routing, and
execution of orders, and for performing
the regulatory compliance checks
related to each of those functions.
Specifically, the table will be
amended to include National Stock
Exchange (‘‘NSX’’), which has informed
the UTP Securities Information
Processor (‘‘UTP SIP’’) that, subject to
regulatory approval, it is projecting to
reactivate its status as an operating
participant for quotation and trading of
NASDAQ-listed securities under the
Unlisted Trading Privileges (‘‘UTP’’)
Plan on or about August 31, 2015. The
other changes to the table merely reflect
updates to mirror the current network
processor and proprietary data feeds
utilized by the Exchange for the
handling, routing, and execution of
orders, and for performing the
regulatory compliance checks related to
each of those functions.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:56 Aug 12, 2015
Jkt 235001
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with
the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,3
in general and with Sections 6(b)(5) of
the Act,4 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
regulating, clearing, settling, processing
information with respect to, and
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 believes that its
proposal to update the table in
Exchange Rule 3304 to make certain it
is current, as well as to amend the table
to include NSX, would ensure that
Exchange Rule 3304 correctly identifies
and publicly states on a market-bymarket basis all of the specific network
processor and proprietary data feeds
that the Exchange utilizes for the
handling, routing, and execution of
orders, and for performing the
regulatory compliance checks related to
each of those functions, and that the
proposed rule change removes
impediments to and perfects the
mechanism of a free and open market
and protects investors and the public
interest because it provides additional
specificity, clarity and transparency.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will result in
any burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act, as amended.
To the contrary, the Exchange believes
the proposal would enhance
competition because including all of the
exchanges enhances transparency and
enables investors to better assess the
quality of the Exchange’s execution and
routing services.

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
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) 5 of the Act and Rule 19b–
4(f)(6) thereunder.6 The Exchange
believes that this proposed rule change
is properly designated as noncontroversial because it enhances clarity
and operational transparency without
modifying members’ rights or
obligations. The Exchange provided
notice of the proposed rule change on
July 27, 2015.
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.
IV. Solicitation of Comments

submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing,
including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act.

Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

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 961 to establish Exchange rules
governing the ‘‘give up’’ of a Clearing
Member 4 by ATP Holders. In addition,
the Exchange proposes changes to Rules
960 and 954NY to reflect proposed
amendments to Rule 961. The Exchange
believes that this proposal to include
the give-up process in Exchange rules
would result in the fair and reasonable
use of resources by both the Exchange
and ATP Holders. In addition, the
proposed change would align the
Exchange with competing options
exchanges that have recently adopted
rules consistent with this proposal.5
By way of background, to enter
transactions on the Exchange, an ATP
Holder must either be a Clearing
Member or must have a Clearing
Member agree to accept financial
responsibility for all of its transactions.
Specifically, Rule 961 provides that
every Clearing Member will be
responsible for the clearance of
Exchange option transactions of ATP
Holder that gives up the Clearing
Member’s name in an Exchange option
transaction, provided the clearing
member has authorized such member or
member organization to give up its
name with respect to Exchange option
transactions.6 In addition, Rule
954NY(a) (Order Identification)
provides that for each transaction in
which an ATP Holder participates, the
ATP Holder must give up the name of
the Clearing Member through whom the
transaction will be cleared. The
4 Rule 900.2NY (11) defines ‘‘Clearing Member’’
as an Exchange ATP Holder which has been
admitted to membership in the Options Clearing
Corporation pursuant to the provisions of the Rules
of the Options Clearing Corporation.
5 See Securities and Exchange Act Release No.
72668 (July 24, 2014), 79 FR 44229 (July 30, 2014)
(SR–CBOE–2014–048) (order approving proposed
rule change relating to the ‘‘give up’’ process, the
process by which a Trading Permit Holder ‘‘gives
up’’ or selects and indicates the Clearing Trading
Permit Holder responsible for the clearance of an
Exchange transaction). See also Securities Exchange
Act Release No. 72325 (June 5, 2014), 79 FR 33614
(June 11, 2014) (Notice). The Exchange notes that
this proposal is a copycat filing, which is
substantially similar in all material respects to the
give-up process approved on CBOE, except as noted
herein. See infra n. 14 (regarding rule text in
amended Rule 961(f) explicitly describing
procedures for Guarantors to reject a trade).
6 See also Rule 960 (General Comparison and
Clearance Rule) (providing that all Exchange
transactions shall be submitted to the Exchange for
comparison of trade information, and all compared
transactions shall be cleared through the Options
Clearing Corporation and shall be subject to the
Rules of the Options Clearing Corporation).

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 update and amend the table in Exchange
Rule 3304 that sets forth on a market-by-market basis the specific
network processor and proprietary data feeds that the Exchange utilizes
for the handling, routing, and execution of orders, and for performing
the regulatory compliance checks related to each of those functions.
Specifically, the table will be amended to include National Stock
Exchange (``NSX''), which has informed the UTP Securities Information
Processor (``UTP SIP'') that, subject to regulatory approval, it is
projecting to reactivate its status as an operating participant for
quotation and trading of NASDAQ-listed securities under the Unlisted
Trading Privileges (``UTP'') Plan on or about August 31, 2015. The
other changes to the table merely reflect updates to mirror the current
network processor and proprietary data feeds utilized by the Exchange
for the handling, routing, and execution of orders, and for performing
the regulatory compliance checks related to each of those functions.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,\3\ in general and with
Sections 6(b)(5) of the Act,\4\ 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 regulating, clearing, settling,
processing information with respect to, and 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
\4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Exchange believes that its proposal to update the table in
Exchange Rule 3304 to make certain it is current, as well as to amend
the table to include NSX, would ensure that Exchange Rule 3304
correctly identifies and publicly states on a market-by-market basis
all of the specific network processor and proprietary data feeds that
the Exchange utilizes for the handling, routing, and execution of
orders, and for performing the regulatory compliance checks related to
each of those functions, and that the proposed rule change removes
impediments to and perfects the mechanism of a free and open market and
protects investors and the public interest because it provides
additional specificity, clarity and transparency.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended. To
the contrary, the Exchange believes the proposal would enhance
competition because including all of the exchanges enhances
transparency and enables investors to better assess the quality of the
Exchange's execution and routing services.
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
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) \5\ of the Act and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\6\ The Exchange believes that this proposed rule
change is properly designated as non-controversial because it enhances
clarity and operational transparency without modifying members' rights
or obligations. The Exchange provided notice of the proposed rule
change on July 27, 2015.
