Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the

(‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2
notice is hereby given that on April 23,

below, which Items have been prepared
by the self-regulatory organization. The
Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule
from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to update
Rule 6090(a)(4)(ii) to note the expiration
date of the pilot program for the listing
and trading of options settling to the
RealVolTM SPY Index (‘‘Index’’). The
text of the proposed rule change is
available from the principal office of the
Exchange, at the Commission’s Public
Reference Room and also on the
Exchange’s internet website at https://
boxoptions.com.
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
self-regulatory organization 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 self-regulatory organization 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 purpose of the proposed rule
change is to notify market participants
of the May 6, 2018 expiration date of the
pilot period for the listing and trading
of options settling to the RealVolTM SPY
Index (‘‘Index’’). This filing does not
propose any substantive changes to the
listing and trading of options settling to
the RealVolTM SPY (‘‘the RealVolTM SPY
Pilot Program’’ or ‘‘Pilot Program’’). The
Exchange has not yet begun to list or
trade options settling to the RealVolTM
SPY Index; should the Exchange choose
to re-instate the Pilot Program then it
will submit a new proposed rule change
with the Commission at a later date.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the
proposal is consistent with the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act,3
in general, and Section 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 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
the proposed rule change provides
clarity for market participants regarding
the expiration date of the Pilot Program.
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 not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act. The
Exchange notes that the proposed
change will alert market participants of
the expiration of the Pilot Program. The
proposed change also allows the
Exchange to submit a new proposed rule
change with the Commission to reinstate the Pilot Program for the listing
and trading of options settling to the
RealVolTM SPY Index at a later date. As
such, the Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on competition not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
The Exchange has neither solicited
nor received comments on the proposed
rule change.
