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

    The Exchange filed a proposal extend the pilot period for the
Exchange's Retail Price Improvement (``RPI'') Program (the
``Program''), which is currently set to expire on January 11, 2014, for
slightly more than 12 months, to expire on January 31, 2015.
    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
Background
    In November 2012, the Commission approved the RPI Program on a
pilot basis.\5\ The Program is designed to attract retail order flow to
the Exchange, and allows such order flow to receive potential price
improvement. The Program is currently limited to trades occurring at
prices equal to or greater than $1.00 per share. Under the Program, all
Exchange Users \6\ are permitted to provide potential price improvement
for Retail Orders \7\ in the form of non-displayed interest that is
better than the national best bid that is a Protected Quotation
(``Protected NBB'') or the national best offer that is a Protected
Quotation (``Protected NBO'', and together with the Protected NBB, the
``Protected NBBO'').\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 68303 (November 27,
2012), 77 FR 71652 (December 3, 2012) (``RPI Approval Order'') (SR-
BYX-2012-019).
    \6\ A ``User'' is defined in BYX Rule 1.5(cc) as any member or
sponsored participant of the Exchange who is authorized to obtain
access to the System.
    \7\ A ``Retail Order'' is defined in Rule 11.24(a)(2) as an
agency order that originates from a natural person and is submitted
to the Exchange by a RMO, provided that no change is made to the
terms of the order with respect to price or side of market and the
order does not originate from a trading algorithm or any
computerized methodology. See Rule 11.24(a)(2).
    \8\ The term Protected Quotation is defined in BYX Rule 1.5(t)
and has the same meaning as is set forth in Regulation NMS Rule
600(b)(58). The terms Protected NBB and Protected NBO are defined in
BYX Rule 1.5(s). The Protected NBB is the best-priced protected bid
and the Protected NBO is the best-priced protected offer. Generally,
the Protected NBB and Protected NBO and the national best bid
(``NBB'') and national best offer (``NBO'', together with the NBB,
the ``NBBO'') will be the same. However, a market center is not
required to route to the NBB or NBO if that market center is subject
to an exception under Regulation NMS Rule 611(b)(1) or if such NBB
or NBO is otherwise not available for an automatic execution. In
such case, the Protected NBB or Protected NBO would be the best-
priced protected bid or offer to which a market center must route
interest pursuant to Regulation NMS Rule 611.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Program was approved by the Commission on a pilot basis running
one-year from the date of implementation.\9\ The Commission approved
the Program on November 27, 2012.\10\ The Exchange implemented the
Program on January 11, 2013. Thus, the pilot period for the Program is
scheduled to end on January 11, 2014.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See RPI Approval Order, supra note 5 at 71652.
    \10\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal To Extend the Operation of the Program
    The Exchange established the RPI Program in an attempt to attract
retail order flow to the Exchange by potentially providing price
improvement to such order flow. The Exchange believes that the Program
promotes competition for retail order flow by allowing Exchange members
to submit Retail Price Improvement Orders (``RPI Orders'') \11\ to
interact with Retail Orders. Such competition has the ability to
promote efficiency by facilitating the price discovery process and
generating additional investor interest in trading securities, thereby
promoting capital formation. The Exchange believes that extending the
pilot is appropriate because it will allow the Exchange and the
Commission additional time to analyze data regarding the Program that
the Exchange has committed to provide.\12\ As such, the Exchange
believes that it is appropriate to extend the current operation of the
Program.\13\ Through this filing, the Exchange seeks to extend the
current pilot period of the Program until January 31, 2015. The
Exchange notes that it has proposed to extend the Program slightly more
than one year in order to operate the Program until the end of a
calendar month for purposes of the data set.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ A ``Retail Price Improvement Order'' is defined in Rule
11.24(a)(3) as an order that consists of non-displayed interest on
the Exchange that is priced better than the Protected NBB or
Protected NBO by at least $0.001 and that is identified as such. See
Rule 11.24(a)(3).
    \12\ See RPI Approval Order, supra note 5 at 71655.
    \13\ Concurrently with this filing, the Exchange has submitted a
request for an extension of the exemption under Regulation NMS Rule
612 previously granted by the Commission that permits it to accept
and rank the RPI orders in sub-penny increments. See Letter from
Eric Swanson, SVP, General Counsel, BATS Global Markets, Inc. to
Elizabeth M. Murphy, Secretary, Securities and Exchange Commission
dated January 3, 2014.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal 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(b) of the Act.\14\ In particular,
the Exchange believes the proposed change furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\15\ in that it is designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination
with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, and to
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market and a national market system. The Exchange believes that
extending the pilot period for the RPI Program is consistent with these
principles because the Program is reasonably designed to attract retail
order flow to the exchange environment, while helping to ensure that
retail investors benefit from the better price that liquidity providers
are willing to give their orders. Additionally, as previously stated,
the competition promoted by the Program may facilitate the price
discovery process and potentially generate additional investor interest
in trading securities. The extension of the pilot period will allow the
Commission and the Exchange to continue to monitor the Program for its
potential effects on public price discovery, and on the broader market
structure.

    \15\ 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 that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change
extends an established pilot program for slightly more than 12 months,
thus allowing the RPI Program to enhance competition for retail order
flow and contribute to the public price discovery process.

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 Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \16\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \17\ thereunder.
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) of the Act \18\ and subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule
19b-4 thereunder.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \17\ 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.
    \18\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \19\ 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 filing.\20\ However,
Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) permits the Commission to designate a shorter
time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and
the public interest.\21\ The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive
the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal may become operative
immediately upon filing. The Commission believes that waiving the 30-
day operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and
the public interest because such waiver would allow the pilot program
to continue uninterrupted. Accordingly, the Commission hereby grants
the Exchange's request and designates the proposal operative upon
filing.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \21\ Id.
    \22\ 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: (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.\23\ If the Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings

to determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.\24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
