COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–81614; File No. SR–CBOE– 

2017–060] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; 

Chicago Board Options Exchange, 

Incorporated; Notice of Filing and 

Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed 

Rule Change To Amend the Fees 

Schedule 

September 14, 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 

September 1, 2017, Chicago Board 

Options Exchange, Incorporated (the 

‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘CBOE’’) filed with the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(the ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule 

change as described in Items I, II, and 

III 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 its 

Fees Schedule. Specifically, the 

Exchange proposes to adopt a discount 

in the form of a cap on transaction fees 

for Market-Maker, Broker-Dealer, NonTrading Permit Holder Market-Maker, 

Professional/Voluntary Professional and 

Joint Back-Office executions in VIX. 

The text of the proposed rule change 

is also available on the Exchange’s Web 

site (http://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/ 

CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), at 

the Exchange’s Office of the Secretary, 

and at the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room. 

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 aspects of such 

statements. 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

The Exchange proposes to amend its 

Fees Schedule. Specifically, the 

Exchange proposes to adopt a discount 

in the form of a cap on transaction fees 

for Market-Maker, Broker-Dealer, NonTrading Permit Holder Market-Maker, 

Professional/Voluntary Professional and 

Joint Back-Office (i.e., ‘‘M’’, ‘‘B’’, ‘‘N’’, 

‘‘W’’ and ‘‘J’’ origin codes) executions in 

VIX (the ‘‘VIX Large Trade Discount’’). 

Particularly, regular transaction fees 

will only be charged for up to 250,000 

VIX options contracts per order for 

Market-Makers, Broker-Dealers, NonTrading Permit Holder Market-Makers, 

Professional/Voluntary Professionals 

and Joint Back-Offices.3 The Exchange 

notes that the proposed VIX Large Trade 

Discount is similar to the Customer 

Large Trade Discount (‘‘CLTD’’) program 

which places a cap on the quantity of 

Customer contracts (i.e., ‘‘C’’ origin 

code) that are assessed transaction fees 

in certain options classes, including 

VIX.4 Like the CLTD program, the Large 

Trade Discount will apply both in the 

Regular Trading Hours (‘‘RTH’’) Session 

and the Extended Trading Hours 

(‘‘ETH’’) Session, but for an order to be 

eligible to qualify for the discount, the 

order in its entirety must be executed in 

either RTH or ETH, but not both).5 Also
