Self-Regulatory Organizations;
International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate

Change To Remove Direct Debit for

(‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,2

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 purpose of the proposed rule
change is to remove direct debit for
market data products. Today, the

Exchange requires all of its members to
provide a clearing account number at
the National Securities Clearing
Corporation (‘‘NSCC’’) for purposes of
permitting the Exchange to debit any
undisputed or final fees, fines, charges
and/or other monetary sanctions or
monies due and owing to the
Exchange.3 Specifically, Rule 213
currently requires members, and all
applicants for registration as such to
provide a clearing account number for
an account at NSCC for purposes of
permitting the Exchange to debit any
undisputed or final fees,4 fines, charges
and/or other monetary sanctions or
monies due and owing to the Exchange 5
or other charges related to Rules 205,
206, 207, 208, 209, and 210.6 The
proposed amendment would exclude
from Rule 213 the fees set forth in
Chapter VIII (Market Data) of the
Exchange’s Schedule of Fees 7 to
harmonize the direct debit process
across all Nasdaq Exchanges.8
The Exchange proposes that this rule
change become operative on December
1, 2016. On November 23, 2016, the
Exchange applied direct debit to its
members for October 2016 billing 9
pursuant to the process currently in
place. Under the proposed amendment
and starting December 2016, the
Exchange will bill the market data fees
separately and will continue to direct
debit its members for all of the other
fees that are covered under Rule 213, in
3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 79014
(September 30, 2016), 81 FR 69560 (October 6,
2016) (SR–ISE–2016–24).

Schedule of Fees, available at: https://www.ise.com/
fees.
5 This includes, among other things, fines which
result from the imposition of fines pursuant to
Rules 1611, Judgment and Sanction; and 1614,
Imposition of Fines for Minor Rules Violations.
With respect to disciplinary sanctions that are
imposed by either the Business Conduct Committee
or a Hearing Panel, the Exchange would not debit
any monies until such action is final. The Exchange
would not consider an action final until all appeal
periods have run and/or all appeal timeframes are
exhausted. With respect to non-disciplinary actions,
the Exchange would similarly not take action to
debit a Member account until all appeal periods
have run and/or all appeal timeframes are
exhausted. Any uncontested disciplinary or nondisciplinary actions will be debited, and the
amount due will appear on the Member’s invoice
prior to the actual NSCC debit.
6 See ISE Rules 205 (Access Fees), 206
(Transaction Fees), 207 (Communication Fees), 208
(Regulatory Fees or Charges), 209 (Transfer Fees)
and 210 (Liability for Payment of Fees).

8 The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, The NASDAQ
Options Market LLC, NASDAQ PHLX LLC, and
NASDAQ BX, Inc. (the ‘‘Nasdaq Exchanges’’) do not
direct debit any fees for market data products.

outstanding fees, including the fees for market data,
through October 1, 2016.

each case for the previous month’s
billing.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its
proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)
of the Act,10 in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,11
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 by providing members
with a harmonized process to pay
undisputed or final fees, fines, charges
and/or monetary sanctions or monies
due and owing to the Exchange.
The Exchange believes that its
proposal to remove the fees for market
data products from the direct debit
process is reasonable because it will not
place any administrative burden on its
members who are already subject to the
same billing process on all other Nasdaq
exchanges.12
The Exchange believes that its
proposal to remove the market data fees
as described above from the direct debit
process is equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory because it will apply to
all members in a uniform manner.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act. With this
proposal, the amended debit process
would apply uniformly to all ISE
members.
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 13 and
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b–4
thereunder.14
A proposed rule change filed under
Rule 19b–4(f)(6) normally does not
become operative for 30 days after the
date of filing. However, Rule 19b–
4(f)(6)(iii) 15 permits the Commission to
designate a shorter time if such action
is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. In its
filing with the Commission, the
Exchange requests that the Commission
waive the 30-day operative delay. The
Exchange proposes that the new billing
process become operative on December
1, 2016. Starting December 1, 2016, the
Exchange will bill the market data fees
separately and will continue to direct
debit its members for all of the other
fees that are covered under Rule 213, in
each case for the previous month’s
billing. The Exchange represents that
waiver of the 30-day operative delay
would allow it to conform its billing
process similar to the process in place
at the Nasdaq exchanges.16 The
Commission believes that waiving the
30-day operative delay is consistent
with the protection of investors and the
public interest. Therefore, the
Commission designates the proposed
rule change operative upon filing.17
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. If the
Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings
to determine whether the proposed rule
should be approved or disapproved.

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 Commission deems this
requirement to have been met.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule
Change To Remove Direct Debit for Market Data Products
December 15, 2016.
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on December 1, 2016, the International Securities Exchange, LLC
(``ISE'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``SEC'' or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as
described in Items I and II, below, which Items have been prepared by
the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

\2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to remove direct debit for market data
products, as described in more detail below.
The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at www.ise.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 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 purpose of the proposed rule change is to remove direct debit
for market data products. Today, the Exchange requires all of its
members to provide a clearing account number at the National Securities
Clearing Corporation (``NSCC'') for purposes of permitting the Exchange
to debit any undisputed or final fees, fines, charges and/or other
monetary sanctions or monies due and owing to the Exchange.\3\
Specifically, Rule 213 currently requires members, and all applicants
for registration as such to provide a clearing account number for an
account at NSCC for purposes of permitting the Exchange to debit any
undisputed or final fees,\4\ fines, charges and/or other monetary
sanctions or monies due and owing to the Exchange \5\ or other charges
related to Rules 205, 206, 207, 208, 209, and 210.\6\ The proposed
amendment would exclude from Rule 213 the fees set forth in Chapter
VIII (Market Data) of the Exchange's Schedule of Fees \7\ to harmonize
the direct debit process across all Nasdaq Exchanges.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 79014 (September 30,
2016), 81 FR 69560 (October 6, 2016) (SR-ISE-2016-24).
\4\ Exchange fees are noted on the Exchange Schedule of Fees,
available at: https://www.ise.com/fees.
\5\ This includes, among other things, fines which result from
the imposition of fines pursuant to Rules 1611, Judgment and
Sanction; and 1614, Imposition of Fines for Minor Rules Violations.
With respect to disciplinary sanctions that are imposed by either
the Business Conduct Committee or a Hearing Panel, the Exchange
would not debit any monies until such action is final. The Exchange
would not consider an action final until all appeal periods have run
and/or all appeal timeframes are exhausted. With respect to non-
disciplinary actions, the Exchange would similarly not take action
to debit a Member account until all appeal periods have run and/or
all appeal timeframes are exhausted. Any uncontested disciplinary or
non-disciplinary actions will be debited, and the amount due will
appear on the Member's invoice prior to the actual NSCC debit.
\6\ See ISE Rules 205 (Access Fees), 206 (Transaction Fees), 207
(Communication Fees), 208 (Regulatory Fees or Charges), 209
(Transfer Fees) and 210 (Liability for Payment of Fees).
\7\ See note 4.
\8\ The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, The NASDAQ Options Market LLC,
NASDAQ PHLX LLC, and NASDAQ BX, Inc. (the ``Nasdaq Exchanges'') do
not direct debit any fees for market data products.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Exchange proposes that this rule change become operative on
December 1, 2016. On November 23, 2016, the Exchange applied direct
debit to its members for October 2016 billing \9\ pursuant to the
process currently in place. Under the proposed amendment and starting
December 2016, the Exchange will bill the market data fees separately
and will continue to direct debit its members for all of the other fees
that are covered under Rule 213, in each case for the previous month's
billing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ The debit for October 2016 billing included all outstanding
fees, including the fees for market data, through October 1, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\10\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\11\ 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 by providing members with a
harmonized process to pay undisputed or final fees, fines, charges and/
or monetary sanctions or monies due and owing to the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
\11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Exchange believes that its proposal to remove the fees for
market data products from the direct debit process is reasonable
because it will not place any administrative burden on its members who
are already subject to the same billing process on all other Nasdaq
exchanges.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See NASDAQ Phlx LLC Rule 909, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC
Rule 7007, NASDAQ Options Market LLC Rules at Chapter XV, Section 1,
NASDAQ BX, Inc. Rule 7011 and BX Option Rules at Chapter XV, Section
1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Exchange believes that its proposal to remove the market data
fees as described above from the direct debit process is equitable and
not unfairly discriminatory because it will apply to all members in a
uniform manner.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. With this proposal, the
amended debit process would apply uniformly to all ISE members.
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
[[Page 93719]]
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 \13\ and subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
\14\ 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 Commission deems this requirement to have been met.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally does
not become operative for 30 days after the date of filing. However,
Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \15\ permits the Commission to designate a
shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. In its filing with the Commission,
the Exchange requests that the Commission waive the 30-day operative
delay. The Exchange proposes that the new billing process become
operative on December 1, 2016. Starting December 1, 2016, the Exchange
will bill the market data fees separately and will continue to direct
debit its members for all of the other fees that are covered under Rule
213, in each case for the previous month's billing. The Exchange
represents that waiver of the 30-day operative delay would allow it to
conform its billing process similar to the process in place at the
Nasdaq exchanges.\16\ The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day
operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the
public interest. Therefore, the Commission designates the proposed rule
change operative upon filing.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
\16\ See NASDAQ Phlx LLC Rule 909, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC
Rule 7007, NASDAQ Options Market LLC Rules at Chapter XV, Section 1,
NASDAQ BX, Inc. Rule 7011 and BX Option Rules at Chapter XV, Section
1.
\17\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
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 necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
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.

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:
