SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-79485; File No. SR-BX-2016-066]


Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ BX, Inc.; Notice of Filing 
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend the Titles 
of Equities Rule 7015 and Options Chapter XV, Section 3, and To Make 
Related Changes

December 6, 2016.
    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 November 30, 2016, NASDAQ BX, Inc. (``BX'' or ``Exchange'') filed 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or ``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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 rename the title of rules that assess fees 
for connectivity to systems operated by the Exchange or FINRA under 
Equities Rule 7015 and Options Chapter XV, Section 3, and to make 
related changes to other rules that reference the renamed rules.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's 
Web site at http://nasdaqbx.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 proposed rule change is to rename related text 
in Rule 7015 and Chapter XV Section 3 to more accurately reflect the 
services being provided and eliminate an outdated term. Both Rule 7015 
and Chapter XV, Section 3, include connectivity to the TradeInfo \3\ 
service, which is not related to connecting to the Exchange trading 
system. As a consequence, the Exchange believes that it is appropriate 
to rename the title of Rule 7015 as ``Ports and other Services'' and 
rename the title of Chapter XV, Section 3, as ``BX Options Market--
Ports and other Services,'' which the Exchange believes more accurately 
describe the services provided to members under those rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ TradeInfo is an Internet-based tool that, among other 
things, allows users to view all of the BX order and execution 
information for their entire firm for both equities and options 
through a single interface. TradeInfo may be subscribed to under 
both Rule 7015 and Chapter XV, Section 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange is also proposing to amend reference to the title of 
Rule 7015 in Rule 7011(a), which is titled ``Collection of Exchange 
Fees and Other Claims and Billing Policy,'' and is also amending 
reference to the title of Chapter XV, Section 3, found under Section 
7(c)(2) of Chapter XV to reflect the amended titles of Rule 7015 and 
Chapter XV, Section 3. Last, the Exchange is deleting ``OMX'' from the 
name of the Exchange in references to the Exchange in Rules 7011 and 
7015. The Exchange removed ``OMX'' from its name effective January 9, 
2016,\4\ and thus the change corrects the reference in the rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Release Act [sic] No. 76656 
(December 15, 2015), 80 FR 79381 (December 21, 2016) (SR-BX-2015-
080).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 
6(b) of the Act,\5\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 
6(b)(5) of the Act,\6\ 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 clarifying applicability of rules whose current titles could confuse 
market participants. Specifically, the Exchange is eliminating the term 
``Access'' and replacing it with the phrase ``Ports and other'' because 
the new titles will more accurately describe the depth and breadth of 
services provided to members under Rule 7015 and Chapter XV, Section 3. 
As explained above, Rule 7015 and Chapter XV, Section 3, include the 
TradeInfo service, which is not related to connecting to the equity or 
options markets. Last, the Exchange is making technical changes to 
Rules 7011 and 7015 to remove ``OMX'' from references to the Exchange 
thereunder. As noted above, the Exchange removed ``OMX'' from its name 
effective January 9, 2016. Thus, the changes proposed herein do not 
impact the fees, connectivity or services described under Rule 7015 and 
Chapter XV, Section 3, but rather merely clarify and harmonize the 
terminology used to better align it with what is provided under the 
rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 Exchange believes that, to 
the extent it has any impact on competition, the proposed change will 
promote competition by making it clear to all market participants and 
exchange competitors what is provided under Rule 7015 and Chapter, XV 
Section 3.

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

    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)(iii) of the Act \7\ and 
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally does 
not become operative for 30 days after the date of its filing. However, 
Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \9\ permits the Commission to designate a shorter 
time if such action

[[Page 89533]]

is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. 
The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day 
operative delay so that the proposed rule change will become operative 
on filing. The Exchange stated that the proposed rule change promotes 
the protection of investors and the public interest by clarifying and 
harmonizing the terminology used in the Exchange's rules. Waiver of the 
operative delay would allow the Exchange, without delay, to rename the 
rules to make clear what the rules cover, therefore, the Commission 
believes that waiver of the 30-day operative delay is consistent with 
the protection of investors and the public interest. Therefore, the 
Commission designates the proposed rule change to be operative upon 
filing.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \10\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay, 
the Commission also has considered the proposed rule's impact on 
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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: (i) 
Necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the 
protection of investors; or (iii) 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

    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. Comments may be submitted by any of
