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 September 9, 2015, BATS Exchange, Inc. (the ‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘BATS’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange.

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 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). CFR 240.19b–4. 3 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii). 4 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(2). 5 A Member is defined as ‘‘any registered broker or dealer that has been admitted to membership in the Exchange.’’ See Exchange Rule 1.5(n). 2 17 VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:30 Sep 16, 2015 Jkt 235001 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 Currently, the Exchange offers a rebate of $0.0020 per share as the standard rebate for orders with fee code B, which applies to orders that add liquidity to the Exchange in Tape B securities. The Exchange also offers various tiers that provide Members with the opportunity to earn higher rebates by meeting certain volume metrics, including the Cross-Asset Tape B Tier which provides a $0.0031 per share rebate to a Member’s orders with a fee code of B for which the Member: (1) Has a Tape B Step-Up Add TCV 6 from February 2015 that is equal to or greater than 0.06%; and (2) has an Options Market Maker Add TCV 7 that is equal to or greater than 0.75% on the BATS Options. The Exchange is proposing to adopt a new tier in footnote 13 titled ‘‘Tape B Volume Tier.’’ Under the Tape B Volume Tier, the Exchange is proposing to provide a $0.0027 per share rebate to a Member’s orders with a fee code of B for which the Member’s Tape B ADAV as a percentage of TCV is equal to or greater than 0.08%. As is the case with any other rebates on the fee schedule, to the extent that a Member qualifies for higher rebates than those provided under the proposed Tape B Volume Tier, the higher rebates shall apply. Implementation Date The Exchange proposes to implement this amendment to its Fee Schedule immediately.8 6 As provided in the fee schedule, for purposes of BATS Equities pricing, ‘‘Tape B Step-Up Add TCV’’ means ADAV in Tape B securities as a percentage of TCV in the relevant baseline month subtracted from current ADAV in Tape B securities as a percentage of TCV. 7 As provided in the fee schedule, for purposes of BATS Equities pricing, ‘‘Options Market Maker Add TCV’’ for purposes of equities pricing means ADAV resulting from Market Maker orders as a percentage of TCV, using the definitions of ADAV, Market Maker and TCV as provided under the Exchange’s fee schedule for BATS Options. 8 The Exchange initially filed the proposed fee change on August 31, 2015 (SR–BATS–2015–66). On September 2, 2015, the Exchange withdrew that filing and submitted filing SR–BATS–2015–70. On that same day, the Exchange withdrew SR–BATS– 2015–70 and submitted SR–BATS–2015–72. On September 9, 2015, the Exchange withdrew SR– BATS–2015–72 and submitted this filing. PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the objectives of Section 6 of the Act,9 in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4),10 in particular, as it is designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among its Members and other persons using its facilities. The Exchange also notes that it operates in a highly-competitive market in which market participants can readily direct order flow to competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be excessive. The proposed rule change reflects a competitive pricing structure designed to incent market participants to direct their order flow to the Exchange. The Exchange believes that the proposed rates are equitable and non-discriminatory in that they apply uniformly to all Members. The Exchange believes the fees and credits remain competitive with those charged by other venues and therefore continue to be reasonable and equitably allocated to Members. Volume-based rebates and fees such as the proposed Tape B Volume Tier have been widely adopted by equities and options exchanges and are equitable because they are open to all Members on an equal basis and provide additional benefits or discounts that are reasonably related to the value to an exchange’s market quality associated with higher levels of market activity, such as higher levels of liquidity provision and/or growth patterns, and introduction of higher volumes of orders into the price and volume discovery processes. The Exchange believes that the proposal to add a Tape B Volume Tier is a reasonable, fair and equitable, and not unfairly discriminatory allocation of fees and rebates because it will provide Members with an additional incentive to reach certain thresholds on both [sic] the Exchange in Tape B securities. Such pricing programs thereby reward a Member’s growth pattern in Tape B securities and such increased volume increases potential revenue to the Exchange, and will allow the Exchange to continue to provide and potentially expand the incentive programs operated by the Exchange. Further, the proposed changes will result in Members receiving either the same or an increased rebate than they would currently receive. The Exchange also notes that the proposed Tape B Volume Tier is similar to pricing tier already employed by the Exchange as well as on 9 15 U.S.C. 78f. U.S.C. 78f(b)(4). 10 15 E:\FR\FM\17SEN1.SGM 17SEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 180 / Thursday, September 17, 2015 / Notices other exchanges, including EDGX Exchange, Inc. (‘‘EDGX’’), which maintains a Tape B Step Up tier to incentivize added liquidity in Tape B securities.11 B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe its proposed amendments to its Fee Schedule would impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange does not believe that the proposed changes represent a significant departure from previous pricing offered by the Exchange or pricing offered by the Exchange’s competitors. Additionally, Members may opt to disfavor the Exchange’s pricing if they believe that alternatives offer them better value. Accordingly, the Exchange does not believe that the proposed change will impair the ability of Members or competing venues to maintain their competitive standing in the financial markets. The Exchange does not believe that the proposed new tier would burden competition, but instead, enhances competition, as they [sic] are intended to increase the competitiveness of and draw additional volume to the Exchange. As stated above, the Exchange notes that it operates in a highly competitive market in which market participants can readily direct order flow to competing venues if the deem fee structures to be unreasonable or excessive. The proposed changes are generally intended to enhance the rebates for liquidity added to the Exchange, which is intended to draw additional liquidity to the Exchange. The Exchange does not believe the proposed tier would burden intramarket competition as they [sic] would apply to all Members uniformly. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit, comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received any unsolicited written comments from Members or other interested parties. 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 12 and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b–4 thereunder.13 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. IV. Solicitation of Comments Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act.

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

    The Exchange filed a proposal to amend its fees and rebates 
applicable to Members \5\ of the Exchange pursuant to Rule 15.1(a) and 
(c) (``Fee Schedule'') to adopt a Tape B Volume Tier.

Rule 1.5(n).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.

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
    Currently, the Exchange offers a rebate of $0.0020 per share as the 
standard rebate for orders with fee code B, which applies to orders 
that add liquidity to the Exchange in Tape B securities. The Exchange 
also offers various tiers that provide Members with the opportunity to 
earn higher rebates by meeting certain volume metrics, including the 
Cross-Asset Tape B Tier which provides a $0.0031 per share rebate to a 
Member's orders with a fee code of B for which the Member: (1) Has a 
Tape B Step-Up Add TCV \6\ from February 2015 that is equal to or 
greater than 0.06%; and (2) has an Options Market Maker Add TCV \7\ 
that is equal to or greater than 0.75% on the BATS Options.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ As provided in the fee schedule, for purposes of BATS 
Equities pricing, ``Tape B Step-Up Add TCV'' means ADAV in Tape B 
securities as a percentage of TCV in the relevant baseline month 
subtracted from current ADAV in Tape B securities as a percentage of 
TCV.
    \7\ As provided in the fee schedule, for purposes of BATS 
Equities pricing, ``Options Market Maker Add TCV'' for purposes of 
equities pricing means ADAV resulting from Market Maker orders as a 
percentage of TCV, using the definitions of ADAV, Market Maker and 
TCV as provided under the Exchange's fee schedule for BATS Options.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange is proposing to adopt a new tier in footnote 13 titled 
``Tape B Volume Tier.'' Under the Tape B Volume Tier, the Exchange is 
proposing to provide a $0.0027 per share rebate to a Member's orders 
with a fee code of B for which the Member's Tape B ADAV as a percentage 
of TCV is equal to or greater than 0.08%. As is the case with any other 
rebates on the fee schedule, to the extent that a Member qualifies for 
higher rebates than those provided under the proposed Tape B Volume 
Tier, the higher rebates shall apply.
Implementation Date
    The Exchange proposes to implement this amendment to its Fee 
Schedule immediately.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The Exchange initially filed the proposed fee change on 
August 31, 2015 (SR-BATS-2015-66). On September 2, 2015, the 
Exchange withdrew that filing and submitted filing SR-BATS-2015-70. 
On that same day, the Exchange withdrew SR-BATS-2015-70 and 
submitted SR-BATS-2015-72. On September 9, 2015, the Exchange 
withdrew SR-BATS-2015-72 and submitted this filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent 
with the objectives of Section 6 of the Act,\9\ in general, and 
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4),\10\ in particular, as it is 
designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, 
fees and other charges among its Members and other persons using its 
facilities. The Exchange also notes that it operates in a highly-
competitive market in which market participants can readily direct 
order flow to competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular 
venue to be excessive. The proposed rule change reflects a competitive 
pricing structure designed to incent market participants to direct 
their order flow to the Exchange. The Exchange believes that the 
proposed rates are equitable and non-discriminatory in that they apply 
uniformly to all Members. The Exchange believes the fees and credits 
remain competitive with those charged by other venues and therefore 
continue to be reasonable and equitably allocated to Members.

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

    Volume-based rebates and fees such as the proposed Tape B Volume 
Tier have been widely adopted by equities and options exchanges and are 
equitable because they are open to all Members on an equal basis and 
provide additional benefits or discounts that are reasonably related to 
the value to an exchange's market quality associated with higher levels 
of market activity, such as higher levels of liquidity provision and/or 
growth patterns, and introduction of higher volumes of orders into the 
price and volume discovery processes.
    The Exchange believes that the proposal to add a Tape B Volume Tier 
is a reasonable, fair and equitable, and not unfairly discriminatory 
allocation of fees and rebates because it will provide Members with an 
additional incentive to reach certain thresholds on both [sic] the 
Exchange in Tape B securities. Such pricing programs thereby reward a 
Member's growth pattern in Tape B securities and such increased volume 
increases potential revenue to the Exchange, and will allow the 
Exchange to continue to provide and potentially expand the incentive 
programs operated by the Exchange. Further, the proposed changes will 
result in Members receiving either the same or an increased rebate than 
they would currently receive. The Exchange also notes that the proposed 
Tape B Volume Tier is similar to pricing tier already employed by the 
Exchange as well as on

maintains a Tape B Step Up tier to incentivize added liquidity in Tape 
B securities.\11\

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

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

    The Exchange does not believe its proposed amendments to its Fee 
Schedule would impose any burden on competition that is not necessary 
or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange 
does not believe that the proposed changes represent a significant 
departure from previous pricing offered by the Exchange or pricing 
offered by the Exchange's competitors. Additionally, Members may opt to 
disfavor the Exchange's pricing if they believe that alternatives offer 
them better value. Accordingly, the Exchange does not believe that the 
proposed change will impair the ability of Members or competing venues 
to maintain their competitive standing in the financial markets.
    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed new tier would 
burden competition, but instead, enhances competition, as they [sic] 
are intended to increase the competitiveness of and draw additional 
volume to the Exchange. As stated above, the Exchange notes that it 
operates in a highly competitive market in which market participants 
can readily direct order flow to competing venues if the deem fee 
structures to be unreasonable or excessive. The proposed changes are 
generally intended to enhance the rebates for liquidity added to the 
Exchange, which is intended to draw additional liquidity to the 
Exchange. The Exchange does not believe the proposed tier would burden 
intramarket competition as they [sic] would apply to all Members 
uniformly.

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

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit, 
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received 
any unsolicited written comments from Members or other interested 
parties.

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 \12\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 
thereunder.\13\ 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.
