I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend the MIAX Options Exchange Fee 
Schedule (``Fee Schedule'') to establish fees for Industry Members \5\ 
related to reasonably budgeted CAT costs of the National Market System 
Plan Governing the Consolidated Audit Trail (the ``CAT NMS Plan'' or 
``Plan'') for 2025. These fees would be payable to Consolidated Audit 
Trail, LLC (``CAT LLC'' or the ``Company'') and referred to as CAT Fee 
2025-1, and would be described in a section of the Exchange's fee 
schedule entitled ``Consolidated Audit Trail Funding Fees.'' The fee 
rate for CAT Fee 2025-1 would be $0.000022 per executed equivalent 
share. CAT Executing Brokers will receive their first monthly invoice 
for CAT Fee 2025-1 in February 2025 calculated based on their 
transactions as CAT Executing Brokers for the Buyer (``CEBB'') and/or 
CAT Executing Brokers for the Seller (``CEBS'') in January 2025. CAT 
Fee 2025-1 is anticipated to be in place for six months, and is 
anticipated to recover approximately one-half of the costs set forth in 
the reasonably budgeted CAT costs for 2025. CAT LLC intends for CAT Fee 
2025-1 to replace CAT Fee 2024-1 (which has a fee rate of 
$0.000035).\6\
