Self-Regulatory Organizations; Bats 

BZX Exchange, Inc.; Notice of Filing 

and Immediate Effectiveness of a 

Proposed Rule Change to Rule 21.2, 

Days and Hours of Business 

August 15, 2017. 

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 August 2, 

2017, Bats BZX Exchange, Inc. (the 

‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘BZX’’) 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 Exchange has 

designated this proposal as a ‘‘noncontroversial’’ proposed rule change 

pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the 

Act 3 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) 

thereunder,4 which renders it effective 

upon filing with the Commission. The

solicit comments on the proposed rule 

change from interested persons.

6 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). 

7 17 CFR 240.19b–4. The Exchange has given the 

Commission written notice of its intent to file the 

proposed rule change, along with a brief description 

and text of 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. 8 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

The purpose of this filing is to amend 

Rule 21.2 to clarify the trading hours for 

options on fund shares (‘‘ETF’s’’) and 

exchange-traded notes (‘‘ETNs’’). 

Specifically, the Exchange seeks to 

amend Rule 21.2 to provide that options 

on ETF’s and ETNs (collectively 

exchange-traded products or ‘‘ETPs’’) 

may be traded on the Exchange until 

3:15 p.m. (CT) each business day. The 

Exchange notes that the proposed rule is 

based on C2 Options Exchange, 

Incorporated (‘‘C2’’) Rule 6.1 and NYSE 

MKT LLC (‘‘NYSE MKT’’) Rule 901NY 

Commentary .02. 

Currently, Rule 21.2 provides that all 

options on ETPs will be traded on the 

Exchange until 3:15 p.m. (CT); however, 

industry practice and the Exchange’s 

current practice allow the vast majority 

of options on ETPs to be traded until 

3:00 p.m. (CT), while allowing certain 

options on ETPs to trade until 3:15 p.m. 

(CT).5 This filing seeks to align BZX 

Rules with industry practice. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes the proposed 

rule change is consistent with the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 

‘‘Act’’) and the rules and regulations 

thereunder applicable to the Exchange 

and, in particular, the requirements of 

Section 6(b) of the Act. Specifically, the 

Exchange believes the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Section 

6(b)(5) requirements that the rules of an 

exchange be 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 regulating, clearing, settling, 

processing information with respect to, 

and facilitating transactions in 

securities, to remove impediments to 

and perfect the mechanism of a free and 

open market and a national market 

system, and, in general, to protect 

investors and the public interest. 

Additionally, the Exchange believes the 

proposed rule change is consistent with 

the Section 6(b)(5) requirement that the 

rules of an exchange not be designed to 

permit unfair discrimination between 

customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers. 

In particular, the proposed rule 

change will protect investors and the 

public interest by reducing potential 

confusing regarding BZX’s trading hours 

for options on ETPs and aligning BZX’s 

Rules regarding trading orders for 

options on ETPs with industry practice. 

The Exchange notes that the proposed 

rule is based on C2 Rule 6.1 and NYSE 

MKT Rule 901NY Commentary .02. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

BZX does not believe that the 

proposed rule change will impose any 

burden on competition that is not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act. The 

proposed rule change will not impose 

any burden on intermarket or 

intramarket competition as the proposed 

rule change will align BZX’s Rules 

regarding trading orders for options on 

ETPs with industry practice. In 

addition, the proposed rule change does 

not modify the construct for trading 

hours but simply identifies the products 

that may close at 3:00 p.m. (CT) or 3:15 

p.m. (CT), which is consistent with the 

industry. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

Written comments were neither 

solicited nor received. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

Because the foregoing proposed rule 

change does not: (A) Significantly affect 

the protection of investors or the public 

interest; (B) impose any significant 

burden on competition; and (C) by its 

terms, 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 paragraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b– 

4 thereunder.7

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: (1) Necessary or appropriate in 

the public interest; (2) for the protection 

of investors; or (3) otherwise in 

furtherance of the purposes of the Act. 

If the Commission takes such action, the 

Commission shall institute proceedings 

to determine whether the proposed rule 

should be approved or disapproved. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments

change is consistent with the Act.
