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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to update and
amend the table in Exchange Rule 4759
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 update the symbol for the
Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc. from
‘‘CSX’’ to ‘‘CHX’’, as well as to update
the primary and secondary sources in
the table for CHX. The primary source
will be CHX Book Feed and the former
primary source, CQS/UQDF, will
become the secondary source. The
change to the primary source reflects the
Exchange’s effort to increase the amount
of data it gathers.
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 amend the table in Exchange

Rule 4759 to update it for the symbol for
the Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc. and to
amend the primary and secondary
sources of data for CHX that the
Exchange utilizes when performing (1)
order handling and execution; (2) order
routing; and (3) related compliance
processes will ensure that Exchange
Rule 4759 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. The Exchange
also believes 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 will enhance competition
because including all of the correct
information for 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)(iii) of the Act 5 and
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b–4
thereunder.6
5 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

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.

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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to update and amend the table in Exchange
Rule 4759 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 update the symbol for
the Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc. from ``CSX'' to ``CHX'', as well as to
update the primary and secondary sources in the table for CHX. The
primary source will be CHX Book Feed and the former primary source,
CQS/UQDF, will become the secondary source. The change to the primary
source reflects the Exchange's effort to increase the amount of data it
gathers.
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.

\4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Exchange believes that its proposal to amend the table in
Exchange Rule 4759 to update it for the symbol for the Chicago Stock
Exchange, Inc. and to amend the primary and secondary sources of data
for CHX that the Exchange utilizes when performing (1) order handling
and execution; (2) order routing; and (3) related compliance processes
will ensure that Exchange Rule 4759 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. The
Exchange also believes 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 will enhance
competition because including all of the correct information for 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)(iii) of the Act \5\ and
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(a)(iii).
\6\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
