[Release No. 34-75744; File No. SR-BX-2015-050]


Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc.; Notice of 
Filing of Proposed Rule Change To Adopt a Kill Switch

August 20, 2015.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that 
on August 7, 2015, NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc. (``BX'' or ``Exchange'') filed 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or ``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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend Chapter VI, Section 6, entitled 
``Acceptance of Quotes and Orders,'' of the BX rules to adopt an 
optional Kill Switch protection.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's 
Web site at http://nasdaqomxbx.cchwallstreet.com, at the principal 
office of the Exchange, 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 purpose of the filing is to adopt a new risk protection, a Kill 
Switch, applicable to all BX Participants. The Kill Switch will allow 
BX Participants to remove quotes and cancel open orders and prevent new 
order submission. This feature provides firms with a powerful risk 
management tool for immediate control of their quote and order 
activity.
    The Exchange proposes to amend Chapter VI, Section 6, entitled 
``Acceptance of Quotes and Orders,'' to add new section (d) to adopt 
the Kill Switch. The BX Options Kill Switch will be an optional tool 
that enables Participants to initiate a message(s) \3\ to the System 
to: (i) Promptly remove quotes; and/or (ii) promptly cancel orders. 
Participants may submit a request to the System to remove/cancel quotes 
and/or orders based on certain identifiers on either a user or group 
level. Participants may elect to remove quotes and cancel orders by 
Exchange account, port, and/or badge or mnemonic (``Identifier'') or by 
a group (one or more Identifier combinations),\4\ which are provided by 
such Participant to the Exchange. Participants may not remove quotes/
orders by symbol. The System will send an automated message to the 
Participant when a Kill Switch request has been processed by the 
Exchange's System.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ BX Participants will be able to utilize an interface to send 
a message to the Exchange to initiate the Kill Switch or they may 
contact the Exchange directly.
    \4\ The type of group permissible would be within a broker-
dealer. For example, this could be including but not limited to all 
market maker accounts or all order entry ports.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If the Participant selects quotes to be cancelled utilizing the 
Kill Switch, the BX Participant must send a message to the Exchange to 
request the removal of all quotes requested for the certain specified 
Identifier(s).\5\ The BX Participant will be unable to enter any 
additional quotes for the affected Identifier(s) until re-entry has 
been enabled pursuant to proposed section (d)(iii).\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See note 3.
    \6\ Sweeps will also be cancelled. A sweep is a one-sided 
electronic quote submitted
    over the Specialized Quote Feed, which is the market making 
quoting interface.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If the Participant selects orders to be cancelled utilizing the 
Kill Switch, the BX Participant must send a message to the Exchange to 
request the cancellation of all orders requested for the certain 
specified Identifier(s).\7\ The BX Participant will be unable to enter 
additional orders for the affected Identifier(s) until re-entry has 
been enabled pursuant to section (d)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See note 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Proposed section (d)(iii) stipulates that after quotes and/or 
orders are removed/cancelled by the BX Participant utilizing the Kill 
Switch, the BX Participant will be unable to enter additional quotes 
and/or orders for the affected Identifier(s) until the BX Participant 
has made a request to the Exchange and Exchange staff has set a re-
entry indicator to enable re-entry.\8\ Once enabled for re-entry, the 
System will send a Re-entry Notification Message to the BX Participant. 
The applicable Clearing Participant for that BX Participant also will 
be notified of the re-entry into the System after quotes and/or orders 
are removed/cancelled as a result of the Kill Switch, provided the 
Clearing Participant has requested to receive such notification.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The BX Participant must directly and verbally contact the 
Exchange to request the re-set.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange offers many risk mitigation and management tools today 
including, but not limited to, certain rapid fire risk controls,\9\ 
15c3-5 risk controls, Order Price Protections,\10\ and cancel on 
disconnect and purge functionality for Specialized Quote Feed (SQF) and 
FIX. The Kill Switch offers Participants a means to control their 
exposure, through an interface which is not dependent on the integrity 
of the Participant's own systems, should the Participant experience a 
failure.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See BX Rules at Chapter VII, Section 6(f).
    \10\ See BX Rules at Chapter VI, Section 18.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to implement this rule within ninety (90) 
days of the implementation date. The Exchange will issue an Options 
Trader Alert in advance to inform market participants of such date.

[[Page 52069]]

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 
6(b) of the Act \11\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 
6(b)(5) of the Act \12\ in particular, in that it is designed to 
promote just and equitable principles of trade, 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, by enhancing the risk protections available to Exchange 
members. The proposal promotes policy goals of the Commission which has 
encouraged execution venues, exchange and non-exchange alike, to 
enhance risk protection tools and other mechanisms to decrease risk and 
increase stability.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The individual firm benefits of enhanced risk protections flow 
downstream to counter-parties both at the Exchange and at other options 
exchanges, thereby increasing systemic protections as well. 
Additionally, because the Exchange offers this risk tool to all BX 
Participants, the Exchange believes it will encourage liquidity 
generally and remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free 
and open market and a national market system and protect investors and 
the public interest.
    This optional risk tool as noted above will be offered to all BX 
Participants. The Exchange further represents that its proposal will 
operate consistently with the firm quote obligations of a broker-dealer 
pursuant to Rule 602 of Regulation NMS and that the functionality is 
not mandatory. Specifically, any interest that is executable against a 
BX Participant's quotes and orders that are received \13\ by the 
Exchange prior to the time the Kill Switch is processed by the System 
will automatically execute at the price up to the BX Participant's 
size. The Kill Switch message will be accepted by the System in the 
order of receipt in the queue and will be processed in that order so 
that interest that is already accepted into the System will be 
processed prior to the Kill Switch message.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ The time of receipt for an order or quote is the time such 
message is processed by the Exchange book.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A BX Market Makers' obligation to provide continuous two-sided 
quotes on a daily basis is not diminished by the removal of such quotes 
and/or orders by utilizing the Kill Switch. BX Market Makers will be 
required to provide continuous two-sided quotes on a daily basis. BX 
Market Makers that utilize the Kill Switch will not be relieved of the 
obligation to provide continuous two-sided quotes on a daily basis, nor 
will it prohibit the Exchange from taking disciplinary action against a 
BX Market Maker for failing to meet the continuous quoting obligation 
each trading day.
    With respect to providing information regarding the removal of 
quotes and/or cancellation of orders as a result of the Kill Switch to 
the Clearing Participant, each Member that transacts through a Clearing 
Member on the Exchange executes a Letter of Guarantee wherein the 
Clearing Member accepts financial responsibility for all Exchange 
transactions made by the BX Participant on whose behalf the Clearing 
Member submits the letter of guarantee. The Exchange believes that 
because Clearing Members guarantee all transactions on behalf of a 
Participant, and therefore bear the risk associated with those 
transactions, it is appropriate for Clearing Members to have knowledge 
of the utilization of the Kill Switch, should the Clearing Member 
request such notification.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will 
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in 
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposal does not impose an 
undue burden on inter-market competition because all BX Participants 
may avail themselves of the Kill Switch, which functionality will be 
optional. The proposed rule change is meant to protect BX Participants 
in the event the BX Participant is suffering from a systems issue or 
from the occurrence of unusual or unexpected market activity that would 
require them to withdraw from the market in order to protect investors. 
The ability to control risk at either the user or group level will 
permit the BX Participant to protect itself from inadvertent exposure 
to excessive risk at the each level. Reducing such risk will enable BX 
Participants to enter quotes and orders without any fear of inadvertent 
exposure to excessive risk, which in turn will benefit investors 
through increased liquidity for the execution of their orders. Such 
increased liquidity benefits investors because they receive better 
prices and because it lowers volatility in the options market. For 
these reasons, the Exchange does not believe this proposal imposes an 
undue burden on inter-market competition, rather, the proposed rule 
change will have no impact on competition.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed 
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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 (i) as the Commission may 
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to 
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to 
which the Exchange consents, the Commission shall: (a) By order approve 
or disapprove such proposed rule change, or (b) institute proceedings 
to determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved.

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
