Self-Regulatory Organizations; BATS 

Exchange, Inc.; Notice of Filing and 

Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed 

Rule Change by BATS Exchange, Inc. 

To Amend BATS Rule 11.13, Entitled 

‘‘Order Execution’’ 

October 21, 2010. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 

‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on October 

13, 2010, BATS Exchange, Inc. (‘‘BATS’’ 

or the ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(the ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule 

change as described in Items I and II 

below, which Items have been prepared 

by the Exchange. The Commission is 

publishing this notice to solicit 

comments on the proposed rule change 

from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

The Exchange proposes to amend 

BATS Rule 11.13, entitled ‘‘Order 

Execution,’’ to add certain new routing 

strategies and to modify the description 

of certain existing Exchange routing 

strategies. 

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

In its filing with the Commission, the 

Exchange included statements 

concerning the purpose of and basis for 

the proposed rule change and discussed 

any comments it received on the 

proposed rule change. The text of these 

statements may be examined at the 

places specified in Item IV below. The 

Exchange has prepared summaries, set 

forth in Sections A, B, and C below, of 

the most significant parts of such 

statements. 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and the 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

The Exchange proposes to amend 

Rule 11.13, which describes its order 

routing processes, to add certain new 

routing strategies and to modify the 

existing description of two Exchange 

routing strategies. 

Currently, various routing strategies 

are available through BATS, including 

the CYCLE routing strategy, variations 

of the Parallel routing strategy, DRT 

routing and Destination Specific 

Routing. The Exchange proposes to offer 

two new routing strategies, which are 

described below. 

• TRIM. TRIM is a routing option 

under which an order will check the 

System for available shares if so 

instructed by the entering User and then 

will be sent to destinations on the 

System routing table. 

• SLIM. SLIM is a routing option 

under which an order will check the 

System for available shares, will be 

routed to BATS Y–Exchange, Inc. 

(‘‘BYX’’),3 and then will be sent to 

destinations on the System routing 

table. 

In addition to the addition of the 

TRIM and SLIM routing strategies, the 

Exchange proposes modifying the 

description of the Parallel T routing 

strategy to make clear that when 

checking the Exchange’s System for 

available shares, it will only check for 

displayed shares prior to routing away 

from the Exchange. The Parallel T 

routing strategy is intended to route 

only to Protected Quotations and only 

for displayed size, and thus, the 

Exchange believes that removal of only 

displayed size from its own System is 

most consistent with this strategy. 

Exchange Rule 11.13(a)(3)(E) includes 

a definition of DRT routing, which is 

routing option in which the entering 

firm instructs the System to route to 

alternative trading systems included in 

the System routing table. The definition 

of DRT currently states that it can be 

combined with three specified routing 

strategies offered by the Exchange. The 

Exchange proposes modifying the 

description of DRT routing to make 

clear that it can be combined with all 

routing strategies, including the new 

TRIM and SLIM routing strategies, 

unless otherwise specified. In addition, 

because some routing strategies offered 

by the Exchange might include DRT 

routing at a later stage, the Exchange 

proposes to remove the word ‘‘first’’ 

from the definition of the DRT routing 

strategy. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The rule change proposed in this 

submission is consistent with the 

requirements of the Act and the rules 

and regulations thereunder that are 

applicable to a national securities 

exchange, and, in particular, with the 

requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.4

Specifically, the proposed change is 

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

Act,5 because it is designed to prevent 

fraudulent and manipulative acts and 

practices, to promote just and equitable 

principles of trade, to foster cooperation 

and coordination with persons engaged 

in facilitating transactions in securities, 

and to remove impediments to, and 

perfect the mechanism of, a free and 

open market and a national market 

system. The proposed change to 

introduce additional routing strategies 

and to modify certain existing routing 

strategies will provide market 

participants with greater flexibility in 

routing orders consistent with 

Regulation NMS without developing

7 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6) requires a self-regulatory organization to give 

the Commission written notice of its intent to file 

the proposed rule change at least five business days 

prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule 

change, or such shorter time as designated by the 

Commission. BATS has satisfied this requirement.

11For purposes only of waiving the 30-day 

operative delay, the Commission has considered the 

proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, 

and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).

their own. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

The Exchange does not believe that 

the proposed rule change imposes any 

burden on competition. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

The Exchange has neither solicited 

nor received written comments on the 

proposed rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

Because the foregoing proposed rule 

change does not: (i) Significantly affect 

the protection of investors or the public 

interest; (ii) impose any significant 

burden on competition; and (iii) become 

operative for 30 days from the date on 

which it was filed, or such shorter time 

as the Commission may designate, it has 

become effective pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 6 and Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6) thereunder.7

A proposed rule change filed 

pursuant to Rule 19b–4(f)(6) under the 

Act 8 normally does not become 

operative for 30 days after the date of its 

filing. However, Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 9

permits the Commission to designate a 

shorter time if such action is consistent 

with the protection of investors and the 

public interest. BATS requests that the 

Commission waive the 30-day operative 

delay in order to allow BATS to 

immediately offer Exchange Users new 

routing strategies at or around the time 

that its affiliated national securities 

exchange, BYX, commences operations. 

Further, the Exchange believes that the 

proposed TRIM and SLIM routing 

strategies are consistent with routing 

strategies offered by the Nasdaq Stock 

Market (‘‘NASDAQ’’).10 In addition, the 

Exchange believes that its proposed new 

routing strategies will benefit market 

participants and their customers by 

allowing them greater flexibility in their 

efforts to fill orders and minimize 

trading costs. The Exchange expects to 

have technological changes for one or 

more of the new routing strategies in 

place to support the proposed rule 

change in the near future, and believes 

that benefits to Exchange Users 

expected from the proposed rule change 

should not be delayed. In addition, 

BATS states a delay to the 

implementation date would put the 

Exchange at a competitive disadvantage 

to other markets that already offer 

similar functionalities. The Commission 

believes that waiving the 30-day 

operative delay 11 is consistent with the 

protection of investors and the public 

interest and designates the proposal 

operative upon filing. 

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. 

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.
