SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-66723; File No. SR-BATS-2012-014]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; BATS Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To Amend
the Certificate of Incorporation of BATS Global Markets, Inc.

April 3, 2012
    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 March 19, 2012, BATS Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``BATS'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``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 is filing with the Commission a proposal to amend the
certificate of incorporation of BATS Global Markets, Inc. (the
``Corporation'').
    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
Web site at http://www.batstrading.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
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    On May 13, 2011, the Corporation, the sole stockholder of the
Exchange, filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the
Commission seeking to register shares of Class A common stock and to
conduct an initial public offering of those shares, which will be
listed for trading on the Exchange (the ``IPO''). In connection with
its IPO, the Corporation intends to amend and restate its certificate
of incorporation (the ``New Certificate of Incorporation''). The
Exchange previously received Commission approval of certain substantive
amendments to the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation that
comprise changes included in the New Certificate of Incorporation.\3\
Since that date, the Corporation has determined it to be necessary to
further amend its certificate of incorporation to achieve the final,
pre-IPO version of the New Certificate of Incorporation. These
additional amendments will be achieved through the filing with the
State of Delaware of an Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation as well as a certificate of amendment to the Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The additional amendments are
described in further detail below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 65646 (October 27,
2011), 76 FR 67783 (November 2, 2011) (SR-BATS-2011-033).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    First, to avoid confusion in the numbering of its certificate of
incorporation, rather than re-naming the New Certificate of
Incorporation the ``Third Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation,'' the Corporation intends to simply name the New
Certificate of Incorporation the ``Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation.'' Accordingly, the Exchange proposes to change certain
references throughout the New Certificate of Incorporation to delete
all references to the ``Second'' and ``Third'' Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation.
    Second, the Exchange, on behalf of the Corporation, proposes
changes to the New Certificate of Incorporation in connection with a
4.75-for-1 reverse stock split (the ``Reverse Stock Split'') of the
outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation (``Common
Stock''). Accordingly, the number of authorized shares of the
Corporation's, both in the aggregate and as set forth by class, as
codified in Section 4.01 of the New Certificate of Incorporation, will
be adjusted. The Corporation also plans to adjust the preferred stock
of the Corporation consistent with the Reverse Stock Split. In light of
the Reverse Stock Split, the proposed amendment also recalculates the
share holding threshold below which a holder of Class B shares loses
the right to hold Class B shares, resulting in those shares
automatically converting into Class A shares, as set forth in Section
4.04(c)(v)(B) of the New Certificate of Incorporation. The par value of
the Corporation's Common Stock will remain $0.01 per share.
    Finally, the Exchange, on behalf of the Corporation, proposes to
correct certain cross-referencing errors in Sections 5.01(c) and
5.01(d) of the certificate of incorporation.
    The purpose of this rule filing is to permit the Corporation, the
sole stockholder of the Exchange, to adopt the New Certificate of
Incorporation, as modified by this proposal. The changes described
herein relate to the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation
only, not to the governance of the Exchange. The Exchange will continue
to be governed by its existing certificate of incorporation and by-
laws. The stock in, and voting power of, the Exchange will continue to
be directly and solely held solely by the Corporation. The governance
of the Exchange will

continue under its existing structure, which provides for a ten member
board of directors reflecting diverse representation of industry, non-
industry and exchange members, currently including (i) the chief
executive officer of the Exchange, (ii) two industry directors, (iii)
two Exchange member directors, and (iv) five non-industry directors.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and rules and regulations thereunder that are
applicable to a national securities exchange, and, in particular, with
the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\4\ In particular, the
proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)(1) of the Act, because it
retains, without modification, the existing limitations on ownership
and total voting power that currently exist and that are designed to
prevent any stockholder from exercising undue control over the
operation of the Exchange and to assure that the Exchange is able to
carry out its regulatory obligations under the Act. Under the proposal,
the Corporation is making certain administrative and structural changes
to the Corporation's certificate of incorporation. These changes,
however, do not impact the governance of the Exchange nor do they
modify the relative ownership of the shareholders of the Corporation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change imposes
any burden on competition.

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

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on
the proposed rule change.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not significantly
affect the protection of investors or the public interest, does not
impose any significant burden on competition, and, by its terms, does
not 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 \5\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \6\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the
Exchange's 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. The
Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day
operative delay. The Exchange has argued that the proposed rule change
is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest
because it would permit the Corporation to immediately amend its
certificate of incorporation to facilitate the Corporation's IPO, and
because the proposed amendments would not impact the ownership or
governance of the Exchange.\7\ The Exchange has stated that the
Corporation's IPO may occur in the near future, and that the changes
described in this proposal are a critical component of such IPO. The
Exchange has represented that a waiver of the operative waiting period
will allow the Corporation to promptly move forward with the IPO
without delay. The Commission notes that the Exchange has also
represented that the proposed amendments to the Corporation's
certificate of incorporation would not impact the Corporation's
existing governance structure or ownership and voting limitations or
the Exchange's self-regulatory functions. Therefore, the Commission
believes that a waiver of the 30-day operative delay is consistent with
the protection of investors and the public interest. For this reason,
the Commission hereby waives the 30-day operative delay requirement and
designates the proposed rule change as operative upon filing.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See SR-BATS-2012-014, Item 7.
    \8\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay, the
Commission 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 necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

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

    Pursuant to the provisions of Section 19(b)(1) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act''),\6\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\7\
Investors Exchange LLC (``IEX'' or ``Exchange'') is filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') a proposed rule
change to amend Rule 11.190(f) to (i) eliminate obsolete references to
route to rest functionality, (ii) replace the phrase ``displayed
interest'' with ``displayable interest'' to more clearly describe how
the IEX System handles such interest in a One-Sided Market, and (iii)
describe how orders are handled in a Zero Market when a contra-side
Protected Quotation returns. The Exchange has designated this rule
change as non-controversial under Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\
and provided the Commission with the notice required by Rule 19b-
4(b)(6)(iii) thereunder.\9\

Web site at www.iextrading.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 self-regulatory organization
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 statement [sic] may be examined
at the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory
organization 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 Rule 11.190(f) to (i) eliminate
obsolete references to route to rest functionality in subparagraphs
(4)(B)(i)(b) and 5(B), (ii) replace the phrase ``displayed interest''
with ``displayable interest'' in subparagraphs (4)(B), (4)(B)(i)(a) and
(4)(B)(ii)(a) to more clearly describe how the IEX System handles such
interest in a One-Sided Market, and (iii) describe, in subparagraphs
5(A) and 5(B), how orders are handled in a Zero Market when a contra-
side Protected Quotation returns.
    With respect to references to route to rest functionality,
subparagraphs (4)(B)(i)(b) and (5)(B) reference Rule 11.230(c)(6).
However, Rule 11.230(c)(6) was deleted in connection with Amendment No.
3 to IEX's Form 1 application under the Act, seeking registration as a
national securities exchange pursuant to Section 6 of the Act.\10\ In
Amendment No. 3,\11\ IEX proposed changes to redesign its outbound
routing functionality, which changes included eliminating route to rest
routing functionality previously described in Rule 11.230(c)(6).
However, IEX inadvertently failed to delete references to such
functionality in subparagraphs (4)(B)(i)(b) and (5)(B) of Rule
11.190(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \11\ See, Securities Exchange Act Release No. 77406 (March 18,
2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently, subparagraph (4)(B)(i)(b) of Rule 11.190(f) provides
that in a One-Sided Market (which lacks either a Protected Bid or
Protected Offer) routable displayable orders on the same side as the
Protected Quotation can route passively to rest on away trading
centers. Similarly, subparagraph (5)(B) of Rule 11.190(f) provides that
in a Zero Market (in which neither a Protected Bid nor Protected Offer
exists) routable displayable orders can route passively to rest on away
trading centers. As proposed, such orders will not be eligible to route
passively to rest on away trading centers, while the One-Sided Market
or Zero Market, as applicable, exists. Accordingly, IEX proposes to
update its rules to delete those provisions.
    IEX also proposes to replace the phrase ``displayed interest'' with
``displayable interest'' in subparagraphs (4)(B), (4)(B)(i)(a) and
(4)(B)(ii)(a) to more clearly describe how the IEX System handles such
interest in a One-Sided Market. Specifically, the subparagraphs noted
above use the term ``displayed interest'' when describing trading
interest that is eligible for display but may not have been displayed.
Accordingly, the Exchange proposes to change such references to
``displayable interest'' since the applicable rule provisions describe
the handling of orders that are displayable even if not displayed.
    Finally, the Exchange proposes to describe, in subparagraphs 5(A)
and 5(B) of Rule 11.190, how orders are handled in a Zero Market when a
contra-side Protected Quotation returns. Currently, those provisions
describe how non-displayed and displayable interest is handled in a
Zero Market (i.e., in which neither a Protected Bid nor Protected Offer
exists), but do not describe how orders are handled when a Protected
Quotation returns on one side of the market. As proposed, Rule
11.190(5)(A) and (B) provide that when a contra-side Protected
Quotation returns, the system will route routable orders consistent
with Rule 11.230(b)(2), if eligible for re-sweep. This change thus
addresses when a Two-Sided or One-Sided Market returns.
2. Statutory Basis
    IEX believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 6 of the Act, in general and with Sections 6(b)
\12\ of the Act in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) \13\ of the Act, in particular, in that it is designed to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, 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. The Exchange believes it is appropriate to make the
specified corrections so that its rules clearly describe the manner in
which its systems operate by removing obsolete text and clarifying the
operation of the rule when a protected quotation returns. The proposed
changes do not introduce new functionality but merely make the rule
more complete and precise. Further, the Exchange believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with the protection of investors and
the public interest because it will provide for accuracy and
consistency in the Exchange's rules and alleviate any confusion among
market participants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    IEX does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in
any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act because IEX is amending its
rules to provide for accuracy and consistency. The Exchange is merely
removing obsolete language and clarifying the operation of the rule,
therefore no new burdens are being proposed.

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

    The Exchange has designated this rule filing as non-controversial
under Section 19(b)(3)(A) \14\ of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \15\
thereunder. Because the 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 if consistent with
the protection of investors and the public interest, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\16\ The Exchange notes that its proposal merely
amends the Exchange's rules to provide for accuracy and consistency.
The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative
delay, making the proposal operative upon filing. The Commission
believes that waiver of the operative delay is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest because it will allow
the Exchange to implement the proposal immediately to remove some
obsolete rule text and separately add helpful additional clarifying
detail to its one-sided and zero markets provision, which may alleviate
potential confusion among market participants before IEX begins
operations as an exchange. Further, the proposal adds clarifying detail
to the rule without materially amending the operation of the rule or
raising any new or novel issues. For these reasons, the Commission
hereby waives the operative delay and designates the proposed rule
change operative upon filing.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \15\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \16\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file 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.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
    \17\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also 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 necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \18\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    CDRH is responsible for helping to ensure the safety and
effectiveness of medical devices marketed in the United States.
Furthermore, CDRH assures that patients and providers have timely and
continued access to high-quality, safe, and effective medical devices.
In support of this mission, the Center launched various training and
development initiatives to enhance performance of its staff involved in
regulatory review and in the premarket review process. One of these
initiatives, the ELP Pilot, was launched in 2012 and fully implemented
on April 2, 2013 (78 FR 19711).
    CDRH is committed to advancing regulatory science; providing
industry with predictable, consistent, transparent, and efficient
regulatory pathways; and helping to ensure consumer confidence in
medical devices marketed in the United States and throughout the world.
The ELP General Training Program component is intended to provide CDRH
staff with an opportunity to understand the policies, laboratory
practices, and challenges faced in broader disciplines that impact the
device development life cycle. This component is a collaborative effort
to enhance communication and facilitate the premarket review process.
Furthermore, CDRH is committed to understanding current industry
practices, innovative technologies, regulatory impacts, and regulatory
needs.
    These formal training visits are not intended for FDA to inspect,
assess,

judge, or perform a regulatory function (e.g., compliance inspection),
but rather, they are an opportunity to provide CDRH review staff a
better understanding of the products they review. Through this notice,
CDRH is formally requesting participation from companies, academia, and
clinical facilities, including those that have previously participated
in the ELP or other FDA site visit programs.

B. Site Selection

    CDRH will be responsible for CDRH staff travel expenses associated
with the site visits. CDRH will not provide funds to support the
training provided by the site to this ELP General Training Program.
Selection of potential facilities will be based on CDRH's priorities
for staff training and resources available to fund this program. In
addition to logistical and other resource factors, all sites must have
a successful compliance record with FDA or another Agency with which
FDA has a memorandum of understanding. If a site visit involves a visit
to a separate physical location of another firm under contract with the
site, that firm must agree to participate in the ELP General Training
program and must also have a satisfactory compliance history.

III. Request To Participate

    Submit proposals for participation with the docket number found in
the brackets in the heading of this document. Received requests may be
seen in the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES) between 9
a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
    The proposal should include a description of your facility relative
to focus areas described in tables 1 or 2. Please include the Area of
Interest (see tables 1 or 2) that the site visit will demonstrate to
CDRH staff, a contact person, site visit location(s), length of site
visit, proposed dates, and maximum number of CDRH staff that can be
accommodated during a site visit. Proposals submitted without this
minimum information will not be considered. In addition, please include
an agenda outlining the proposed training for the site visit. A sample
request and agenda are available on the ELP Web site at http://www.fda.gov/downloads/ScienceResearch/ScienceCareerOpportunities/UCM392988.pdf and http://www.fda.gov/scienceresearch/sciencecareeropportunities/ucm380676.htm.
