20 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(8). 21 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

Connectivity would be charged for it. TF 

Connectivity is available to all market 

participants on an equal basis, and all 

Users that voluntarily choose to 

purchase TF Connectivity are charged 

the same amount as all other market 

participants purchasing that type of TF 

Connectivity. 

The Exchange believes that it is not 

unfairly discriminatory that it offers two 

types of TF Connectivity: TF VCCs that 

may connect to one Trading Floor, and 

TF VRFs that may connect to one or 

more Trading Floors. By offering these 

varied technological options, FIDS 

provides potential Users more choices 

from which to choose the option that 

would work best for their specific 

needs. The Exchange proposes to add a 

note to the Fee Schedule to clarify the 

difference, thereby making it easier for 

potential purchasers of the service to 

assess what connectivity will best serve 

them. 

For the reasons above, the proposed 

change does not unfairly discriminate 

between or among market participants 

that are otherwise capable of satisfying 

any applicable co-location fees, 

requirements, terms, and conditions 

established from time to time by the 

Exchange. 

For these reasons, the Exchange 

believes that the proposal is consistent 

with the Act. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposal will not impose any burden on 

competition that is not necessary or 

appropriate in furtherance of the 

purposes of Section 6(b)(8) of the Act.20

The proposed change would not 

impose a burden on competition among 

national securities exchanges or among 

members of the Exchange. 

The proposed change would enhance 

competition in the market for circuits 

transmitting data into and out of 

colocation at the MDC to the Trading 

Floors, by adding TF Connectivity, in 

addition to the 16 Telecoms that also 

sell circuits to Users. TF Connectivity 

does not have any latency, bandwidth, 

or other advantage over the Telecoms’ 

circuits. The proposal would not burden 

competition in the sale of such circuits, 

but rather, enhance it by providing 

Users with an additional choice for their 

circuit needs. 

The Exchange believes that it would 

not be a burden on competition that it 

offers two types of TF Connectivity: TF 

VCCs that may connect to one Trading 

Floor, and TF VRFs that may connect to 

one or more Trading Floors. By offering 

these varied technological options, FIDS 

provides potential Users more choices 

from which to choose the option that 

would work best for their specific 

needs. The Exchange proposes to add a 

note to the Fee Schedule to clarify the 

difference, thereby making it easier for 

potential purchasers of the service to 

assess what connectivity will best serve 

them. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

No written comments were solicited 

or received with respect to the proposed 

rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

Within 45 days of the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register or within such longer period 

up to 90 days (i) as the Commission may 

designate if it finds such longer period 

to be appropriate and publishes its 

reasons for so finding or (ii) as to which 

the self-regulatory organization 

consents, the Commission will: 

(A) by order approve or disapprove 

the proposed rule change, or 

(B) institute proceedings to determine 

whether the proposed rule change 

should be disapproved. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.
