13 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). 

14 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f). 15 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

the Exchange in such LMP Securities, 

which will increase market quality in 

LMP Securities, to the benefit of all 

market participants. Similarly, the 

Exchange believes that requiring that at 

least 10 of the LMP Securities that a 

Member is enrolled in and meets the 

requirements for are BZX-listed 

securities in order to receive the Tape B 

Volume and Quoting Tier rebate is a 

reasonable means to incentive enhanced 

quoting in BZX-listed securities in order 

to narrow spreads, increase size at the 

inside, and increase liquidity depth on 

the Exchange BZX-listed securities, to 

the benefit of all market participants 

and enhance the Exchange’s standing as 

a listing venue. 

The Exchange further believes that the 

proposed changes represent an equitable 

allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and 

other charges because the thresholds 

necessary to achieve the Tape B Volume 

and Quoting Tier would continue to 

encourage Members to add additional 

liquidity to the Exchange in LMP 

Securities, including BZX-listed 

securities. The proposed changes also 

are not unreasonably discriminatory as 

they apply equally to all Members. 

(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. The 

Exchange does not believe that the 

changes burden competition, but 

instead, enhance competition, as these 

changes are intended to increase the 

competitiveness of the Exchange as it is 

designed to enhance the market quality 

of LMP Securities, including BZX-listed 

securities, on the Exchange. The 

Exchange notes that it operates in a 

highly competitive market in which 

market participants can readily direct 

order flow to competing venues if they 

deem fee structures to be unreasonable 

or excessive. The proposed changes are 

generally intended to enhance market 

quality in LMP Securities, including 

BZX-listed securities, and Tape B 

securities. As such, the proposal is a 

competitive proposal that is intended to 

add additional liquidity to the 

Exchange, which will, in turn, benefit 

the Exchange and all Exchange 

participants and enhance the 

Exchange’s standing as a listing venue. 

(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 

The foregoing rule change has become 

effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 

of the Act 13 and paragraph (f) of Rule 

19b–4 thereunder.14 At any time within 

60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
