offerings and is designed to reduce any 

potential confusion regarding the 

routing of orders from EDGX to EDGA, 

using routing options ROUC or DIRC. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

The Exchange does not believe that 

the proposed rule changes will impose 

any burden on competition that is not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act because the 

proposed rule change merely updates 

the Fee Schedule to reflect that fee code, 

AA, is now attached to a passthrough 

fee rather than payment of a rebate, as 

well as remove fee codes that the 

Exchange no longer wishes to, nor is 

required to, maintain. In this regard, the 

proposed changes are necessary and 

appropriate because they are designed 

to make the Fee Schedule more accurate 

and to reduce any potential confusion 

without having any impact on 

competition. 

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 20 and paragraph (f) of Rule 

19b–4 21 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
