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

The Exchange filed a proposal to modify its fee schedule with
respect to Market Maker Fees on its equity options platform.
The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
website at www.markets.cboe.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 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 its fee schedule for its equity
options platform (``EDGX Options'') to (i) increase the standard rate
for Market-Maker orders in Penny-Pilot and Non-Penny Pilot Securities
that add liquidity, (ii) modify criteria necessary to achieve Market
Maker Volume Tiers (``Volume Tiers'') 1, 4, 7 and 8, (iii) increase
rates for Volume Tiers 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and (iv) eliminate Volume Tier
2.
By way of background, fee codes PM and NM are currently appended to
all Market Maker orders in Penny Pilot Securities and Non-Penny Pilot
Securities that add liquidity, and result in a standard fee of $0.19
per contract. The Exchange determines reduced fees or enhanced rebates
using a tiered pricing structure under the Volume Tiers. Specifically,
the Volume Tiers in footnote 2 of the Fee Schedule consist of eight
separate tiers, each providing a reduced fee or rebate to a Member's
Market Maker order that yields fee codes PM or NM upon satisfying the
monthly volume criteria required by the respective tier.
Market Maker Standard Fee Increase
The Exchange first proposes to increase the standard fee of $0.19
per contract for Market Maker orders in Penny Pilot and Non-Penny Pilot
Securities that add liquidity to $0.20 per contract. The Exchange notes
that this increase is in line with the amounts assessed by other
exchanges for similar transactions.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\5\ See e.g., Nasdaq PHLX LLC Pricing Schedule, Section II,
Multiply Listed Options Fees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Market Maker Volume Tier Criteria Modifications
Pursuant to Volume Tier 1, the lowest volume tier, a Member will
pay a reduced fee (currently $0.16 per contract) if the Member has an
ADV \6\ in Market Maker orders equal to or greater than 0.05% of
average OCV.\7\ Pursuant

[[Page 16408]]

to Volume Tier 4, a Member will pay a reduced fee (currently $0.07 per
contract) if the Member has an ADV in Market Maker orders equal to or
greater than 0.40% of average OCV. The Exchange proposes to modify the
criteria necessary to achieve Volume Tiers 1 and 4 by increasing the
ADV requirement from 0.05% of average OCV to 0.10% of average OCV and
from 0.40% to 0.50%, respectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\6\ ``ADV'' means average daily volume calculated as the number
of contracts added or removed, combined, per day.
\7\ ``OCV'' means, the total equity and ETF options volume that
clears in the Customer range at the Options Clearing Corporation
(``OCC'') for the month for which the fees apply, excluding volume
on any day that the Exchange experiences an Exchange System
Disruption and on any day with a scheduled early market close.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pursuant to Volume Tier 7, a Member will currently be charged a
reduced fee of $0.04 [sic] per contract where the Member has an ADV in:
(i) Customer orders equal to or greater than 0.15% of average OCV and
(ii) Customer or Market Maker orders equal to or greater than 0.35% of
average OCV. The Exchange proposes to amend prongs 1 and 2, as well as
add new prongs 3 and 4. Particularly, the Exchange proposes to increase
the ADV requirement in the first prong from greater or equal to 0.15%
of average OCV to 0.30% of average OCV. The Exchange also proposes to
increase the threshold in the second prong from greater or equal to
0.35% of average OCV to 0.50% of average OCV. The Exchange proposes to
add a third prong which requires that the member have an ADV in BAM
Agency Orders \8\ equal to or greater than 0.15% of average OCV.
Lastly, the Exchange proposes to add a fourth prong that requires the
member to have an ADV in complex Customer orders (yielding fee codes
ZA, ZB, ZC, or ZD) greater or equal to 5,000 contracts. The Exchange
notes that the third and fourth prongs are similar to prongs already
established for Volume Tier 8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\8\ BAM Agency Orders (yielding fee codes BC and BA) are orders
represented as agent by a Member on behalf of another party and
submitted to BAM for potential price improvement pursuant to Rule
21.19. See the Exchange's Fee Schedule available at: https://markets.cboe.com/us/options/membership/fee_schedule/edgx/.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pursuant to Volume Tier 8, a Member will currently be charged a
reduced fee of $0.02 per contract where the Member has an ADV in: (i)
Customer orders equal to or greater than 0.30% of average OCV; (ii)
Customer or Market Maker orders equal to or greater than 0.50% of
average OCV; (iii) BAM Agency Orders equal to or greater than 25,000
contracts; and (iv) complex Customer orders (yielding fee codes ZA, ZB,
ZC, or ZD) equal to or greater than 5,000 contracts. The Exchange
proposes to modify each of these criteria as follows: Increase the ADV
requirement of the first prong to 0.70% of average OCV, increase the
ADV requirement of the second prong to 1.10% of average OCV; change the
ADV requirement of the third prong to 0.15% of average OCV; and change
the ADV requirement of the fourth prong to 0.20% of average OCV. The
Exchange believes the proposed changes described above will encourage
the entry of additional orders to the Exchange.
Volume Tier Rate Increases
The Exchange next proposes to increase the rates set forth in
Volume Tiers 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Specifically, Volume Tier 1 will
increase from $0.16 per contract to $0.17 per contract; Volume Tier 3
will increase from $0.10 per contract to $0.13 per contract; Volume
Tier 5 will increase from $0.02 per contract to $0.03 per contract;
Volume Tier 6 will increase from a rebate of $0.01 per contract to a
fee of $0.01 per contract; Volume Tier 7 will increase from $0.03 per
contract to $0.04 per contract; and Volume Tier 8 will increase from
$0.02 per contract to $0.03 per contract. The Exchange notes that the
proposed rates still provide a discount from the standard Market Maker
PM and NM rate and will continue to provide an incremental incentive
for Members to strive for the higher tier levels, which provides
increasingly higher discounts.
Volume Tier 2
Lastly, the Exchange proposes to eliminate Volume Tier 2 in its
entirety and renumber the following Volume Tiers accordingly. The
Exchange is eliminating Volume Tier 2 because it is increasing the ADV
requirement in Volume Tier 1 and does not believe it's necessary to
maintain a Tier that is only slightly incrementally higher.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change 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 of the Act.\9\
Specifically, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\10\ in that it provides for
the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges
among members and other persons using any facility or system which the
Exchange operates or controls.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
\10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Exchange believes the proposal to increase the standard fee of
$0.19 per contract to $0.20 per contract for Market Maker orders in
Penny Pilot and Non-Penny Pilot Securities that add liquidity is
reasonable because it is only a $0.01 per contract increase and because
it is still in line with what other exchanges assess for similar
transactions.\11\ With respect to the proposed increases to the rates
in Volume Tiers 1, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8, the proposed changes are
reasonable because Market Makers still have the opportunity to receive
a lower Market Maker fee that the standard rate (albeit less of a
discount than before). The Exchange also believes the rates will
continue to provide an incremental incentive for Members to strive for
higher tier level, which provides increasingly higher discounts. The
Exchange believes the proposed changes are equitable and
nondiscriminatory because the proposed changes apply uniformly to all
Market Makers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\11\ See e.g., Nasdaq PHLX LLC Pricing Schedule, Section II,
Multiply Listed Options Fees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Exchange next notes that volume-based discounts such as those
currently maintained on the Exchange have been widely adopted by
options exchanges and are equitable because they are open to all
Members on an equal basis and provide additional benefits or discounts
that are reasonably related to the value of an exchange's market
quality associated with higher levels of market activity, such as
higher levels of liquidity provision and/or growth patterns, and
introduction of higher volumes of orders into the price and volume
discovery processes. While the proposed modifications to the existing
Volume Tiers make such tiers more difficult to attain, each is intended
to incentivize Members to send additional Customer and/or Market Maker
orders to the Exchange, and in the case of Market Maker Volume Tiers 7
and 8, also to encourage the submission of BAM Agency Orders and
complex orders to the Exchange in an effort to qualify or continue to
qualify for the lower fees made available by the tiers. The Exchange
notes that increased volume on the Exchange provides greater trading
opportunities for all market participants.
Lastly, the Exchange believes it's reasonable to eliminate Volume
Tier 2 because it is increasing the ADV requirement in Volume Tier 1
and does not believe it's necessary to maintain a Tier that is only
slightly incrementally higher. Additionally, the Exchange notes that it
will still provide opportunities for Market Makers to receive lower
fees as it is keeping the remaining tiers.

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

The Exchange believes the proposed amendments to its fee schedule
would

[[Page 16409]]

not impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange
does not believe that the proposed changes represent a significant
departure from previous pricing offered by the Exchange or pricing
offered by the Exchange's competitors. Members may opt to disfavor the
Exchange's pricing if they believe that alternatives offer them better
value. Accordingly, the Exchange does not believe that the proposed
change will impair the ability of Members or competing venues to
maintain their competitive standing in the financial markets.

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

The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any written comments from members or other interested parties.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \12\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder.\13\ 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.
