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 April 21, 2016, Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (the ‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘CBOE’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II 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. mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The Exchange proposes to amend the Fees Schedule to update references to quoting bandwidth. 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, 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

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 amend its Fees Schedule, effective April 21, 2016. The Fees Schedule currently sets forth the quoting bandwidth allowance for a Market-Maker Trading Permit. The bandwidth allowance is referenced as a maximum number of quotes over the course of the trading day (currently 35,640,000). The Exchange notes however, that the current reference applies to the Regular Trading Hours session (‘‘RTH’’) only. In order to avoid confusion and maintain clarity and transparency in the rules, the Exchange proposes to add a reference to the quoting bandwidth allowance for an Extended Trading Hours 5 (‘‘ETH’’) Market-Maker Trading Permit (i.e., 37,500,000 quotes over the course of the ETH session).6 The Exchanges notes that ETH bandwidth applies to all ETH Market-Maker Trading Permits and all ETH Quoting and Order Entry Bandwidth Packets. The Exchange also notes that the trading hours for RTH and ETH differ and as such, an ETH MarketMaker Trading Permit is equivalent to a different maximum number of quotes over the course of the trading session.7 The Exchange next proposes to update the bandwidth currently set forth in Fees Schedule. The Fees 5 Extended Trading Hours are from 2:00 a.m. Central time (‘‘CT’’) to 8:15 a.m. (CT) on Monday through Friday. 6 The Exchange notes that prior to April 18, 2016, the maximum bandwidth quoting allowance during ETH was 33,000,000 quotes over the course of the ETH session. 7 The rate per second(s) for quoting bandwidth is (and has always been) the same for both the RTH and ETH sessions. Because the ETH trading session is shorter than the RTH trading session, the stated number of quotes over the course of a trading session is less for ETH than RTH. PO 00000 Frm 00065 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Schedule currently states that the quoting bandwidth allowance for a Market-Maker Trading Permit is equivalent to a maximum of 35,640,000 quotes over the course of a trading day. The Exchange proposes to clarify that the stated quoting bandwidth reflects the maximum number of quotes over the course of a trading ‘‘session’’ instead of trading ‘‘day.’’ Particularly, RTH and ETH are separate trading sessions that are part of the same trading day. As such, the current expression of RTH bandwidth as quotes over the course of a trading ‘‘day’’ is inaccurate. Next, the Exchange notes that it increased quoting bandwidth allowance, effective April 18, 2016. The Exchange therefore seeks to make a corresponding amendment to the Fees Schedule. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to update the reference to the number of maximum quotes from 35,640,000 to 40,500,000. The Exchange notes that the increase of quoting bandwidth allowance applies to all RTH Market-Maker Trading Permits and all RTH Quoting and Order Entry Bandwidth Packets. 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.8 Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the section 6(b)(5) 9 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 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. Additionally, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the section 6(b)(5) 10 requirement that the rules of an exchange not be designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers. In particular, the Exchange believes that adding a reference to the quoting bandwidth allowance during ETH avoids potential confusion and maintains transparency in the Fees Schedule, thereby removing 8 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). 10 Id. 9 15 E:\FR\FM\09MYN1.SGM 09MYN1
