delay 75 or for absolutely no cost on a
T+1 basis using HIST, will enable a
broad range of market participants to
continue to receive IEX Data, thereby
facilitating the economically efficient
execution of securities transactions on
IEX, fair competition between and
among such Members, and the
practicability of Members that are
brokers executing investors’ orders on
IEX when it is the best market.
For the foregoing reasons, the
Exchange believes that the proposed fee
is reasonable, equitably allocated, and
not unfairly discriminatory.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
IEX does not believe that the
proposed rule change will result in any
burden on intramarket or intermarket
competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act.
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on intermarket competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
The proposed fees are a cost-based fee,
that are designed to enable the Exchange
to recoup its applicable costs with the
possibility of a reasonable profit on its
investment as described in the Purpose
and Statutory Basis sections. Competing
equities exchanges are free to adopt
comparable fee structures subject to the
SEC rule filing process.
The Exchange also does not believe
that the proposed fees will impose any
burden on intramarket competition that
is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act
because all market participants are
entitled to receive IEX Data free of
charge after [sic] at least a fifteenmillisecond delay. Providing a
commercially viable free data feed to
Data Subscribers is designed to avoid
creating barriers to entry for smaller
Members, thereby promoting
intramarket competition. In addition,
even Members [sic] subject to relatively
higher fees, because they are paying up
to $3,500 per month for IEX Data, will
still be subject to a relatively low
aggregate fee (and significantly less than
the fees charged by competing
exchanges, as described above) and IEX
thus believes that the proposed fee will
not operate as a barrier to entry for such
Members [sic] or impose a significant
business cost burden on such Members
[sic] relative to their levels of business
activity. Finally, as noted in the Purpose
and Statutory Basis sections, IEX
believes that not requiring any onerous
audits for Data Subscribers will be of
equal benefit to all Data Subscribers.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
Written comments were neither
solicited nor received.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The foregoing rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) 76 of the Act.
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
under Section 19(b)(2)(B) 77 of the Act to
determine whether the proposed rule
change should be approved or
disapproved.
IV. Solicitation of Comments

submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing,
including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act.

The Commission is publishing this
notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested

Orders for Members who achieve

achieve over a threshold of 0.60% of
national customer volume in multiplylisted options classes listed on MIAX
during the relevant month; and (2) make
a minor, non-substantive corrective edit.
Background
PRIME is a process by which a
Member may electronically submit for
execution an order it represents as agent
(an ‘‘Agency Order’’) against principal
interest and/or solicited interest. The
Member that submits the Agency Order
(‘‘Initiating Member’’) agrees to
guarantee the execution of the Agency
Order by submitting a contra-side order
representing principal interest or
solicited interest (‘‘Contra-Side Order’’).
When the Exchange receives a properly
designated Agency Order for Auction
processing, a request for response
(‘‘RFR’’) detailing the option, side, size
and initiating price is broadcasted to
MIAX participants up to an optional
designated limit price. Members may
submit responses to the RFR, which can
be either an Auction or Cancel (‘‘AOC’’)
order or an AOC eQuote. The PRIME
mechanism applies to orders on the
Exchange’s Simple Order Book.5
The Priority Customer rebate payment
is calculated from the first executed
contract at the applicable threshold per
contract credit with rebate payments
made at the highest achieved volume
tier for each contract traded in that
month. The percentage thresholds are
calculated based on the percentage of
national customer volume in multiplylisted options classes listed on MIAX
entered and executed over the course of
the month (excluding QCC and cQCC
Orders, Priority Customer-to-Priority
Customer Orders, C2C and cC2C Orders,
PRIME and cPRIME AOC Responses,
PRIME and cPRIME Contra-side Orders,
and PRIME and cPRIME Orders for
3 The term ‘‘Member’’ means an individual or
organization approved to exercise the trading rights
associated with a Trading Permit. Members are
deemed ‘‘members’’ under the Exchange Act. See
Exchange Rule 100.
4 ‘‘Priority Customer’’ means a person or entity
that (i) is not a broker or dealer in securities, and
(ii) does not place more than 390 orders in listed
options per day on average during a calendar month
for its own beneficial accounts(s). A ‘‘Priority
Customer Order’’ means an order for the account of
a Priority Customer. See Exchange Rule 100.
5 The ‘‘Simple Order Book’’ is the Exchange’s
regular electronic book of orders and quotes. See
Exchange Rule 518(a)(15).
