Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 231 / Tuesday, December 1, 2020 / Notices khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES4 Proprietary/Broker-Dealers, and Professional Customers from $0.48 to $0.50 per contract does not impose an undue burden on competition as all Non-Priority Customers would be assessed the same Complex Order Maker Fees for Select Symbols when trading against Priority Customer. Priority Customer orders bring valuable liquidity to the market which liquidity benefits other market participants. Priority Customers are not assessed Complex Order Maker Fees for Select Symbols when trading against Priority Customer. The Exchange’s proposal to amend note 3 of Options 7, Section 4 with respect to Complex Order Maker Fees for Select Symbols when trading against Priority Customer for Market Makers as well as Complex Order Taker Fees for Select Symbols for Market Makers does not impose an undue burden on competition. Market Makers would continue to be permitted to lower their Maker Fees for Select Symbols when trading against Priority Customers, as well as Taker Fees for Select Symbols, provided the Market Maker qualified for Priority Customer Complex Order Tiers 8, 9 or 10. Today, Market Makers are able to lower their Maker Fees for Select Symbols when trading against Priority Customers, as well as Taker Fees for Select Symbols, provided they qualify for Priority Customer Complex Order Tiers 8 or 9. With this proposal Market Makers would also be able to lower their Maker Fees for Select Symbols when trading against Priority Customers, as well as Taker Fees for Select Symbols, if they qualify for new Priority Customer Complex Order Tier 10. Unlike other market participants, Market Makers have an obligation to maintain quotes 17 and provide liquidity in the regular market. The Exchange is providing Market Makers the opportunity to reduce their Maker Fees for Select Symbols when trading against Priority Customers, as well as Taker Fees for Select Symbols, provided the Market Maker qualified for Priority Customer Complex Order Tiers 8, 9 or 10, to incentivize these market participants to continue to provide liquidity on ISE. Technical Amendments The Exchange’s proposal to remove reserved note 17 within Options 7, Section 4 does not impose an undue burden on competition as this note is not necessary and the amendment is non-substantive. The Exchange’s proposal to remove obsolete date references and an obsolete rate within Options 7, Section 9.C. related to the Options Regulatory Fee does not impose an undue burden on competition. 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.
