7 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b4(f)(6)(iii) requires a self-regulatory organization to 

give the Commission written notice of its intent to 

file the proposed rule change, along with a brief 

description and text of the proposed rule change, 

at least five business days prior to the date of filing 

of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time 

as designated by the Commission. The Exchange 

has satisfied this requirement. 8 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

more transparent and accessible to 

market participants making routing 

decisions concerning their options 

orders. 

The market data products are also 

designed to protect investors and the 

public interest by providing data to 

subscribers that is already currently 

available on other exchanges, and will 

enable Topaz to compete with such 

other exchanges, thereby offering market 

participants with additional data in 

order to seek the market center with the 

best price and the most liquidity on 

which to execute their transactions, all 

to the benefit of investors and the public 

interest, and to the marketplace as a 

whole. 

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 that is not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act. On the 

contrary, the Exchange believes that the 

proposed market data products will 

enhance competition in the U.S. options 

markets by providing similar data to 

that which is currently provided on 

other options exchanges. The Exchange 

believes that each of these market data 

feeds will help attract new users and 

new order flow to the Exchange, thereby 

improving the Exchange’s ability to 

compete in the market for options order 

flow and executions. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

The Exchange has not solicited, and 

does not intend to solicit, comments on 

this proposed rule change. The 

Exchange has not received any 

unsolicited written comments from 

members or other interested parties. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

Because the foregoing proposed rule 

change does not: (i) significantly affect 

the protection of investors or the public 

interest; (ii) impose any significant 

burden on competition; and (iii) become 

operative for 30 days from the date on 

which it was filed, or such shorter time 

as the Commission may designate, it has 

become effective pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 6 and Rule 19b4(f)(6) thereunder.7

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 

to determine whether the proposed rule 

should be approved or disapproved. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule

International Traffic in Arms

Justice for possible prosecution.
