Download as PDF 42414 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 125 / Friday, June 30, 2023 / Notices activity of these market participants in turn facilitates tighter spreads, which may cause an additional corresponding increase in order flow from other market participants, to the benefit of all market participants. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Proposal 2: Eliminate Note 6 Incentive The Exchange believes that its proposal to eliminate the note 6 incentive described above is reasonable because this temporary incentive has not had its intended effect of incentivizing Market Makers to increase their liquidity adding activity in Penny Symbols on the Exchange over the stipulated time period. As such, the Exchange is eliminating the note 6 incentive in order to redirect future resources into other pricing programs intended to incentivize increased order flow. The Exchange also believes that its proposal is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory as the note 6 incentive will be eliminated for all Market Makers. Further, the Exchange notes that the proposed changes will not adversely impact any market participant’s ability to otherwise qualify for reduced fees or rebates offered under other programs in the Pricing Schedule. 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. In terms of intra-market competition, the Exchange does not believe that its proposal will place any category of market participant at a competitive disadvantage. As discussed above, while parts of the Exchange’s proposal provide more incentives for certain order flow and activity on the Exchange (i.e., Market Maker liquidity adding activity and Priority Customer liquidity removing activity), the proposed changes are ultimately aimed at attracting greater liquidity to the Exchange, which benefits all market participants in the quality of order interaction. In terms of inter-market competition, the Exchange notes that it operates in a highly competitive market in which market participants can readily favor competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be excessive, or rebate opportunities available at other venues to be more favorable. In such an environment, the Exchange must continually adjust its fees to remain competitive with other exchanges and with alternative trading systems that have been exempted from compliance with the statutory standards VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:33 Jun 29, 2023 Jkt 259001 applicable to exchanges. Because competitors are free to modify their own fees in response, and because market participants may readily adjust their order routing practices, the Exchange believes that the degree to which fee changes in this market may impose any burden on competition is extremely limited. In sum, if the changes proposed herein are unattractive to market participants, it is likely that the Exchange will lose market share as a result. Accordingly, the Exchange does not believe that the proposed changes will impair the ability of members or competing order execution venues to maintain their competitive standing in the financial markets. 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 The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act 37 and Rule 19b–4(f)(2) 38 thereunder. 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: (i) necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the protection of investors; or (iii) 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. IV. Solicitation of Comments Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act.
