4All comments on the proposed rule change are 

available on the Commission’s website at: https://

cboebzx2018040.htm. 

stock-option orders is reasonable and 

equitable as the proposed fee will cover 

the costs of developing and maintaining 

the systems that allow for the matching 

and processing of the stock legs of stockoption orders executed in the complex 

order book, as well as all fees charged 

by the outside venue that prints the 

trade. The Exchange also believes it is 

reasonable and equitable to pass 

through to the Member any fees 

assessed by the routing broker-dealer 

utilized by the Exchange with respect to 

the execution of the stock leg of any 

such order (with such fees to be passed 

through at cost). The Exchange notes 

that another exchange has a comparable 

fee for the handling of the stock leg of 

stock-option orders. Specifically, 

Nasdaq ISE (‘‘ISE’’) charges a stock 

handling fee of $0.0010 per share which 

is capped at $50 per order.13 The 

Exchange also believes that its proposal 

is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the 

Act 14 because it will be uniformly 

applied to all Members that execute 

stock-option orders in the complex 

order book on the Exchange. 

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 

proposed fee is similar to and within the 

range of fees charged by the Exchange’s 

competitor.15 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. In such an environment, 

the Exchange must continually adjust its 

fees to remain competitive with other 

exchanges and to attract order flow to 

the Exchange. For the reasons stated 

above, the Exchange believes that the 

proposed rule change reflects this 

competitive environment. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

Written comments were neither 

solicited nor 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,16 and Rule 

19b–4(f)(2)17 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 

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 

change is consistent with the Act.

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 5 provides 

that within 45 days of the publication of 

notice of the filing of a proposed rule 

change, or within such longer period up 

to 90 days as the Commission may 

designate if it finds such longer period 

to be appropriate and publishes its 

reasons for so finding or as to which the 

self-regulatory organization consents, 

the Commission shall either approve the 

proposed rule change, disapprove the 

proposed rule change, or institute 

proceedings to determine whether the 

proposed rule change should be 

disapproved. The Commission is 

extending this 45-day time period. The 

Commission finds that it is appropriate 

to designate a longer period within 

which to take action on the proposed 

rule change so that it has sufficient time 

to consider the proposed rule change. 

Accordingly, the Commission, 

pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,6

designates September 30, 2018, as the 

date by which the Commission shall 

either approve or disapprove, or 

institute proceedings to determine 

whether to disapprove, the proposed 

rule change (File No. SR–CboeBZX–
