fees in response, including the adoption 

of similar discounts to those fees, the 

Exchange believes that the degree to 

which fee changes (including discounts 

and rebates) in this market may impose 

any burden on competition is extremely 

limited. As discussed above, the 

Exchange’s historical Short Volume 

Reports offering is subject to direct 

competition from several other options 

exchanges that offer similar data 

products. Moreover, purchase of 

historical Short Volume Reports is 

optional. It is designed to help investors 

understand underlying market trends to 

improve the quality of investment 

decisions, but is not necessary to 

execute a trade. 

The proposed rule changes are 

grounded in the Exchange’s efforts to 

compete more effectively. In this 

competitive environment, potential 

purchasers are free to choose which, if 

any, similar product to purchase to 

satisfy their need for market 

information. As a result, the Exchange 

believes this proposed rule change 

permits fair competition among national 

securities exchanges. Further, the 

Exchange believes that these changes 

will not cause any unnecessary or 

inappropriate burden on intermarket 

competition, as the proposed incentive 

program applies uniformly to any 

purchaser of historical Short Volume 

Reports. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

The Exchange neither solicited nor 

received comments on the proposed 

rule change. 

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 28 and paragraph (f) of Rule 

19b–4 29 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 will institute proceedings 

to determine whether the proposed rule 

change should be approved or 

disapproved. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments

submit written data, views and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule
