volume of ETF-based options, see id., the 

Exchange’s market share in multiply-listed equity 

and ETF options increased from 8.06% for the 

month of November 2019 to 9.09% for the month 

of November 2020.

FeeSchedule.pdf (providing comparable per 

contract credits for Customer orders based on 

volume from a variety of executions, including 

auction volume, volume from various account 

types, and volume from both simple and complex 

executions). 

The Exchange has prepared summaries, 

set forth in sections A, B, and C below, 

of the most significant parts 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 this filing is to modify 

the Fee Schedule to add a new credit for 

Customer Electronic Simple and 

Complex executions based on an ATP 

Holder’s achievement of certain volume 

thresholds. Specifically, an ATP Holder 

that executes the requisite volume in 

Complex CUBE Auctions, Customer 

Electronic executions, and Professional 

(as defined in Section I.H. of the Fee 

Schedule) Electronic executions will 

earn a $0.10 per contract credit on 

Customer Electronic executions, 

excluding CUBE Auctions, QCC 

Transactions, and orders routed to 

another exchange. The Exchange 

proposes to introduce this pricing on 

February 1, 2021. 

Section I.H. of the Fee Schedule 

currently provides incentives for ATP 

Holders that increase their Electronic 

volume in the Professional Customer, 

Broker Dealer, Non-NYSE American 

Options Market Maker, and Firm ranges 

(collectively, the ‘‘Professional’’ range). 

The Exchange proposes to modify 

Section I.H. to provide ATP Holders 

with a new credit of $0.10 per contract 

on Customer Electronic Simple and 

Complex executions (excluding CUBE 

Auctions, QCC Transactions, and orders 

routed to another exchange), provided 

that each of three monthly volume 

qualifications are met: (a) 15,000 

Contracts ADV from Initiating CUBE 

Orders in Complex CUBE Auctions; (b) 

Customer Electronic executions of 

0.05% of TCADV, excluding CUBE 

Auctions, QCC Transactions, and 

volume from orders routed to another 

exchange; and (c) Professional 

Electronic executions of 0.03% of 

TCADV.4 In calculating an OFP’s 

Electronic volume for purposes of this 

credit, the Exchange will include the 

activity of either (i) Affiliates of the 

OFP, such as when an OFP has an 

Affiliated NYSE American Options 

Market Making firm, or (ii) an 

Appointed MM of such OFP. 

The Exchange believes the proposed 

credit will continue to incent ATP 

Holders to direct order flow to the 

Exchange and also encourage ATP 

Holders to engage in a variety of 

transactions on the Exchange, thereby 

promoting market depth, facilitating 

tighter spreads, and enhancing price 

discovery to the benefit of all market 

participants. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed rule change is consistent with 

Section 6(b) of the Act,5 in general, and 

furthers the objectives of Sections 

6(b)(4) and (5) of the Act,6 in particular, 

because it provides for the equitable 

allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and 

other charges among its members, 

issuers and other persons using its 

facilities and does not unfairly 

discriminate between customers, 

issuers, brokers or dealers. 

The Proposed Rule Change Is 

Reasonable 

The Exchange operates in a highly 

competitive market. The Commission 

has repeatedly expressed its preference 

for competition over regulatory 

intervention in determining prices, 

products, and services in the securities 

markets. In Regulation NMS, the 

Commission highlighted the importance 

of market forces in determining prices 

and SRO revenues and, also, recognized 

that current regulation of the market 

system ‘‘has been remarkably successful 

in promoting market competition in its 

broader forms that are most important to 

investors and listed companies.’’ 7

There are currently 16 registered 

options exchanges competing for order 

flow. Based on publicly-available 

information, and excluding index-based 

options, no single exchange has more 

than 16% of the market share of 

executed volume of multiply-listed 

equity and ETF options trades.8

Therefore, currently no exchange 

possesses significant pricing power in 

the execution of multiply-listed equity 

and ETF options order flow. More 

specifically, in November 2020, the 

Exchange had less than 10% market 

share of executed volume of multiplylisted equity and ETF options trades.9

The Exchange believes that the evershifting market share among the 

exchanges from month to month 

demonstrates that market participants 

can shift order flow, or discontinue or 

reduce use of certain categories of 

products, in response to fee changes. 

Accordingly, competitive forces 

constrain options exchange transaction 

fees. Stated otherwise, changes to 

exchange transaction fees and rebates 

can have a direct effect on the ability of 

an exchange to compete for order flow. 

The proposed rule change is designed 

to continue to incent ATP Holders to 

direct liquidity to the Exchange in a 

variety of forms and from a variety of 

sources, thereby promoting market 

depth, price discovery, and price 

improvement and enhancing order 

execution opportunities for market 

participants. In particular, the Exchange 

believes it is reasonable to provide ATP 

Holders with a credit for achieving 

certain volume goals in different types 

of executions, consistent with credits 

offered through a similarly-structured 

program on a competing options 

exchange.10

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed credit is reasonably designed 

to encourage ATP Holders to execute a 

variety of orders on the Exchange and 

that having multiple volume criteria to 

qualify for the proposed credit should 

encourage greater use of the Exchange 

by all ATP Holders, which may lead to 

greater opportunities to trade—and for 

price improvement—for all participants. 

Further, the Exchange believes the 

proposed new credit would continue to 

attract more volume and liquidity to the 

Exchange generally and would therefore 

benefit all market participants through 

increased opportunities to trade at 

potentially improved prices, as well as 

by enhancing price discovery. 

Finally, to the extent the proposed 

fees and credits encourage greater 

volume and liquidity, the Exchange 

believes the proposed change would 

continue to improve the Exchange’s 

overall competitiveness and strengthen 

its market quality for all market 

participants. In the backdrop of the 

competitive environment in which the 

Exchange operates, the proposed rule 

change is a reasonable attempt by the 

Exchange to maintain its market share 

relative to its competitors. 

8932 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 26 / Wednesday, February 10, 2021 / Notices 

11See Reg NMS Adopting Release, supra note 7, 

at 37499. 

12See supra note 8. 

13Based on OCC data, supra note 9, the 

Exchange’s market share in multiply-listed equity 

and ETF options increased from 8.06% for the 

month of November 2019 to 9.09% for the month 

of November 2020. 

The Proposed Rule Change Is an 

Equitable Allocation of Fees and Credits 

The Exchange believes the proposed 

rule change is an equitable allocation of 

its fees and credits. The proposal is 

based on the amount and type of 

business transacted on the Exchange 

and ATP Holders can opt to avail 

themselves of the incentive or not. 

Moreover, the proposal is designed to 

encourage ATP Holders and their 

affiliated or appointed parties to 

aggregate their executions at the 

Exchange as a primary execution venue. 

To the extent that the proposed change 

continues to attract more executions to 

the Exchange, this increased order flow 

would continue to make the Exchange a 

more competitive venue for order 

execution. Thus, the Exchange believes 

the proposed rule change would 

improve market quality for all market 

participants on the Exchange and, as a 

consequence, continue to attract more 

order flow to the Exchange thereby 

improving market-wide quality and 

price discovery. 

The Proposed Rule Change Is Not 

Unfairly Discriminatory 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposal is not unfairly discriminatory 

because the proposed modifications 

would be available to all similarlysituated market participants on an equal 

and non-discriminatory basis. The 

Exchange’s fees and credits are designed 

to continue to encourage greater use of 

the Exchange, which may lead to greater 

opportunities to trade—and for price 

improvement—for all participants. 

The proposal is based on the amount 

and type of business transacted on the 

Exchange and ATP Holders are not 

obligated to try to achieve the incentive. 

Rather, the proposal is designed to 

continue to encourage participants to 

utilize the Exchange as a primary 

trading venue (if they have not done so 

previously) or increase Electronic 

volume sent to the Exchange. To the 

extent that the proposed change 

continues to attract more executions— 

and executions of varying types—to the 

Exchange, this increased order flow 

would continue to make the Exchange a 

more competitive venue for order 

execution. Thus, the Exchange believes 

the proposed rule change would 

continue to improve market quality for 

all market participants on the Exchange 

and, as a consequence, attract more 

order flow to the Exchange, thereby 

improving market-wide quality and 

price discovery. The resulting volume 

and liquidity would continue to provide 

more trading opportunities and tighter 

spreads to all market participants and 

thus would promote just and equitable 

principles of trade, 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. 

Finally, the Exchange believes that it 

is subject to significant competitive 

forces, as described below in the 

Exchange’s statement regarding the 

burden on competition. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

In accordance with Section 6(b)(8) of 

the Act, the Exchange does not believe 

that the proposed rule change would 

impose any burden on competition that 

is not necessary or appropriate in 

furtherance of the purposes of the Act. 

Instead, as discussed above, the 

Exchange believes that the proposed 

changes would continue to encourage 

the submission of additional liquidity to 

a public exchange, thereby promoting 

market depth, price discovery and 

transparency and enhancing order 

execution opportunities for all market 

participants. As a result, the Exchange 

believes that the proposed changes 

further the Commission’s goal in 

adopting Regulation NMS of fostering 

integrated competition among orders, 

which promotes ‘‘more efficient pricing 

of individual stocks for all types of 

orders, large and small.’’ 11

Intramarket Competition. The 

proposed change is designed to 

continue to attract increased and diverse 

order flow to the Exchange by offering 

competitive credits based on increased 

volumes on the Exchange, which may 

increase the volumes of contracts traded 

on the Exchange. Specifically, the 

Exchange believes that the proposed 

rule change, by offering an additional 

credit applicable to Customer Electronic 

executions, will incent ATP Holders to 

direct order flow to the Exchange and 

participate in a variety of types of 

executions on the Exchange to meet the 

proposed thresholds to qualify for the 

credit. To the extent that this purpose is 

achieved, all of the Exchange’s market 

participants should benefit from the 

continued market liquidity. Enhanced 

market quality and increased 

transaction volume that results from the 

increase in order flow directed to the 

Exchange will benefit all market 

participants and improve competition 

on the Exchange. 

Intermarket Competition. The 

Exchange operates in a highly 

competitive market in which market 

participants can readily favor one of the 

16 competing option exchanges if they 

deem fee levels at a particular venue to 

be excessive. In such an environment, 

the Exchange must continually adjust its 

fees and credits to remain competitive 

with other exchanges and to attract 

order flow to the Exchange. Based on 

publicly-available information, and 

excluding index-based options, no 

single exchange currently has more than 

16% of the market share of executed 

volume of multiply-listed equity and 

ETF options trades.12 Therefore, no 

exchange currently possesses significant 

pricing power in the execution of 

multiply-listed equity and ETF options 

order flow. More specifically, in 

November 2020, the Exchange had less 

than 10% market share of executed 

volume of multiply-listed equity and 

ETF options trades.13

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed rule change reflects this 

competitive environment because it 

modifies the Exchange’s fees and credits 

in a manner designed to encourage ATP 

Holders to direct trading interest to the 

Exchange, to provide liquidity and to 

attract order flow. Specifically, the 

Exchange believes that the proposed 

rule change will encourage ATP Holders 

to direct increased Electronic volume to 

the Exchange, thereby increasing the 

number of executions (and executions of 

varying types) on the Exchange and 

continuing to make the Exchange a more 

competitive venue for order execution. 

To the extent that this purpose is 

achieved, all the Exchange’s market 

participants should benefit from the 

improved market quality and increased 

opportunities for price improvement. 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed changes could promote 

competition between the Exchange and 

other execution venues by encouraging 

additional orders to be sent to the 

Exchange for execution. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others

or received with respect to the proposed 

rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Revision: Form N–14 

Notice is hereby given that, under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (‘‘Paperwork 

Reduction Act’’), the Securities and 

Exchange Commission (the 

‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) a request for extension of the 

previously approved collection of 

information discussed below. 

Form N–14 (17 CFR 239.23) is the 

form for registration under the 

Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et 

seq.) (‘‘Securities Act’’) of securities 

issued by management investment 

companies registered under the 

Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 

U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) (‘‘Investment 

Company Act’’) and business 

development companies as defined by 

Section 2(a)(48) of the Investment 

Company Act in: (1) A transaction of the 

type specified in rule 145(a) under the 

Securities Act (17 CFR 230.145(a)); (2) a 

merger in which a vote or consent of the 

security holders of the company being 

acquired is not required pursuant to 

applicable state law; (3) an exchange 

offer for securities of the issuer or 

another person; (4) a public reoffering or 

resale of any securities acquired in an 

offering registered on Form N–14; or (5) 

two or more of the transactions listed in 

(1) through (4) registered on one 

registration statement. The principal 

purpose of Form N–14 is to make 

material information regarding 

securities to be issued in connection 

with business combination transactions 

available to investors. The information 

required to be filed with the 

Commission permits verification of 

compliance with securities law 

requirements and assures the public 

availability and dissemination of such 

information. Without the registration 

statement requirement, material 

information may not necessarily be 

available to investors. 

Estimates of the average burden hours 

are made solely for the purposes of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act and are not 

derived from a comprehensive or even 

representative survey or study of the 

costs of Commission rules and forms. 

The collection of information under 

Form N–14 is mandatory. The 

information provided under Form N–14 

will not be kept confidential. An agency 

may not conduct or sponsor, and a 

person is not required to respond to, a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control
