Accordingly, the proposed API Testing 

and Certification fees and network 

connectivity testing and certification 

fees do not favor certain categories of 

market participants in a manner that 

would impose a burden on competition. 

Inter-Market Competition 

The Exchange believes the proposed 

API Testing and Certification fees and 

Network Connectivity Testing and 

Certification fees do not place an undue 

burden on competition on other SROs 

that is not necessary or appropriate. The 

Exchange believes that the proposed 

fees do not impose a burden on 

competition or on other exchanges that 

is not necessary or appropriate because 

of the availability of numerous 

substitute options exchanges. There are 

15 other options exchanges where 

market participants can become 

members.
