I. Introduction

    On April 29, 2019, Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc. (``EDGX'' or the
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposed rule change (File Number SR-CboeEDGX-2019-029) to amend the
EDGX fee schedule to establish a monthly Trading Rights Fee to be
assessed on Members. The proposed rule change was immediately effective
upon filing with the Commission pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the
Act.\3\ The proposed rule change was published for comment in the
Federal Register on May 16, 2019.\4\ The Commission has received no
comment letters on the proposal. Under Section 19(b)(3)(C) of the
Act,\5\ the Commission is hereby: (i) Temporarily suspending the
proposed rule change; and (ii) instituting proceedings to determine
whether to approve or disapprove the proposed rule change.

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

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend the Membership Fees section of the
EDGX fee schedule to establish a monthly Trading Rights Fee, which
would be assessed on Members that trade more than a specified volume in
U.S. equities.\6\ Specifically, the Exchange proposes to charge Members
a Trading Rights Fee of $500 per month for the ability to trade on the
Exchange. A Member would not be charged the monthly Trading Rights Fee
if it meets one of the following exceptions: (1) The Member has a
monthly ADV \7\ of less than 100,000 shares, or (2) at least 90% of the
Member's orders submitted to the Exchange per month are retail
orders.\8\ The proposed Trading Rights Fee also would not be charged to
new Members for the first three months of their membership.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Notice, supra note 4, at 22174. The Commission notes
that the Exchange's affiliates, Cboe BYX Exchange, Inc., Cboe BZX
Exchange, Inc., and Cboe EDGA Exchange, Inc., each also filed a
proposed rule change to amend their fee schedules to establish a
monthly Trading Rights Fee to be assessed on Members: CboeBYX-2019-
009, CboeBZX-2019-041, and CboeEDGA-2019-011, respectively.
    \7\ ``ADV'' means average daily volume calculated as the number
of shares added or removed, combined, per day. ADV is calculated on
a monthly basis. See Notice, supra note 4, at 22174 n.3.
    \8\ See Notice, supra note 4, at 22174.
    \9\ For any month in which a firm is approved for Membership
with the Exchange, the monthly Trading Rights Fee would be pro-rated
in accordance with the date on which Membership is approved. Notice,
supra note 4, at 22174.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Suspension of the Proposed Rule Change

    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(C) of the Act,\10\ at any time within
60 days of the date of filing of a proposed rule change pursuant to
Section 19(b)(1) of the Act,\11\ the Commission summarily may
temporarily suspend the change in the rules of a self-regulatory
organization (``SRO'') 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.
As discussed below, the Commission believes a temporary suspension of
the proposed rule change is necessary and appropriate to allow for
additional analysis of the proposed rule change's consistency with the
Act and the rules thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(C).
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange asserts that the proposed Trading Rights Fee ``is
reasonable because it will assist in funding the overall regulation and
maintenance of the Exchange.'' \12\ The Exchange also asserts that the
proposed Trading Rights Fee is reasonable because the ``cost of this
membership fee is generally less than the analogous membership fees of
other markets.'' \13\ The Exchange states that it believes the proposed
Trading Rights Fee is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because
it will apply equally to all Members that do not meet the requirements
of the exceptions.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Notice, supra note 4, at 22174.
    \13\ See id. The Exchange notes, for example, that the
Exchange's proposed Trading Rights Fee of $500 a month is
``substantially lower'' than the monthly $1,250 monthly Trading
Rights Fee that Nasdaq assesses on its members. Id.
    \14\ See id. at 22175.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In regard to the proposed exceptions pursuant to which Members
would not be charged the Trading Rights Fee, the Exchange states that
it believes that both exceptions are reasonable. Specifically, the
Exchange states that the proposed exception for Members that trade less
than a monthly ADV of 100,000 shares is reasonable because it would
allow such smaller Members to continue to trade at a lower cost.\15\ In
addition, the Exchange states the exception is reasonable because such
firms consume fewer regulatory resources.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See id. at 22174-75.
    \16\ See id. at 22175.?>[FEDREG][VOL]*[/VOL][NO]*[/NO][DATE]*[/
DATE][NOTICES][NOTICE][PREAMB][AGENCY]*[/AGENCY][SUBJECT]*[/SUBJECT]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also states that the second exception for Members that
submit 90% or more of their orders per month as retail orders is
reasonable because it would ensure that ``retail broker members can
continue to submit orders for individual investors at a lower cost,
thereby continuing to encourage retail investor participation on the
Exchange.'' \17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally the Exchange states that it believes that not charging a
Trading Rights Fee for new Members is reasonable because it will
incentivize firms to become Members of the Exchange and ``bring
additional liquidity to the market to the benefit of all market
participants.'' \18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    When exchanges file their proposed rule changes with the
Commission, including fee filings like the Exchange's present proposal,
they are required to provide a statement supporting the proposal's
basis under the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable
to the exchange.\19\ The instructions to Form 19b-4, on which exchanges
file their proposed rule changes, specify that such statement ``should
be sufficiently detailed and specific to support a finding that the

proposed rule change is consistent with [those] requirements.'' \20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ See 17 CFR 240.19b-4 (Item 3 entitled ``Self-Regulatory
Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for,
the Proposed Rule Change'').
    \20\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Among other things, exchange proposed rule changes are subject to
Section 6 of the Act, including Sections 6(b)(4), (5), and (8), which
requires the rules of an exchange to: (1) Provide for the equitable
allocation of reasonable fees among members, issuers, and other persons
using the exchange's facilities; \21\ (2) perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system, protect investors
and the public interest, and not be designed to permit unfair
discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers; \22\
and (3) not impose any burden on competition not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.\23\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
    \22\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \23\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In temporarily suspending the Exchange's fee change, the Commission
intends to further consider whether assessing the proposed monthly
Trading Rights Fee on certain Members is consistent with the statutory
requirements applicable to a national securities exchange under the
Act. In particular, the Commission will consider whether the proposed
rule change satisfies the standards under the Act and the rules
thereunder requiring, among other things, that an exchange's rules
provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable fees among members,
issuers, and other persons using its facilities; not permit unfair
discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers or dealers; and do
not impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.\24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ See 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4), (5), and (8), respectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Therefore, the Commission finds that it is appropriate in the
public interest, for the protection of investors, and otherwise in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act, to temporarily suspend the
proposed rule changes.\25\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ For purposes of temporarily suspending the proposed rule
change, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Proceedings To Determine Whether To Approve or Disapprove the
Proposed Rule Change

    The Commission is instituting proceedings pursuant to Sections
19(b)(3)(C) \26\ and 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act \27\ to determine whether
the proposed rule change should be approved or disapproved. Institution
of proceedings does not indicate that the Commission has reached any
conclusions with respect to any of the issues involved. Rather, the
Commission seeks and encourages interested persons to provide
additional comment on the proposed rule change to inform the
Commission's analysis of whether to disapprove the proposed rule
change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \26\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(C). Once the Commission temporarily
suspends a proposed rule change, Section 19(b)(3)(C) of the Act
requires that the Commission institute proceedings under Section
19(b)(2)(B) to determine whether a proposed rule change should be
approved or disapproved.
    \27\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act,\28\ the Commission is
providing notice of the grounds for possible disapproval under
consideration:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \28\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Section 6(b)(4) of the Act, which requires that the rules
of a national securities exchange ``provide for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its
members and issuers and other persons using its facilities,'' \29\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \29\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Section 6(b)(5) of the Act, which requires, among other
things, that the rules of a national securities exchange be ``designed
to perfect the operation of a free and open market and a national
market system'' and ``protect investors and the public interest,'' and
not be ``designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers,
issuers, brokers, or dealers,'' \30\ and
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \30\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Section 6(b)(8) of the Act, which requires that the rules
of a national securities exchange ``not impose any burden on
competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes
of [the Act].'' \31\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

NO][DATE]*[/DATE][NOTICES][NOTICE][PREAMB][AGENCY]*[/
AGENCY][SUBJECT]*[/SUBJECT]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As noted above, the proposal imposes a new monthly Trading Rights
Fee on certain Members. The Commission notes that the Exchange's
statements in support of the proposed rule change are general in nature
and lack detail and specificity. For example, the Exchange asserts
broadly that the proposed fee will fund overall regulation and
maintenance of the Exchange, but does not explain why this increase in
funding is necessary at this time or what is covered under this broad
umbrella of ``overall regulation and maintenance.'' \32\ Further, the
rationale provided does not address how the proposed fee is an
equitable allocation of fees, other than to note simply that it applies
to all Members who do not qualify for an exception. Under the
Commission's Rules of Practice, the ``burden to demonstrate that a
proposed rule change is consistent with the [Act] and the rules and
regulations issued thereunder . . . is on the [SRO] that proposed the
rule change.'' \33\ The description of a proposed rule change, its
purpose and operation, its effect, and a legal analysis of its
consistency with applicable requirements must all be sufficiently
detailed and specific to support an affirmative Commission finding,\34\
and any failure of an SRO to provide this information may result in the
Commission not having a sufficient basis to make an affirmative finding
that a proposed rule change is consistent with the Act and the
applicable rules and regulations.\35\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \32\ See Notice, supra note 4, at 22174.
    \33\ Rule 700(b)(3), Commission Rules of Practice, 17 CFR
201.700(b)(3).
    \34\ See id.
    \35\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission is instituting proceedings to allow for additional
consideration and comment on the issues raised herein, including as to
whether the proposed fees are consistent with the Act, and
specifically, with its requirements that exchange fees be reasonable
and equitably allocated; be designed to perfect the mechanism of a free
and open market and the national market system, protect investors and
the public interest, and not be unfairly discriminatory; or not impose
an unnecessary or inappropriate burden on competition.\36\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \36\ See 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4), (5), and (8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

V. Commission's Solicitation of Comments

    The Commission requests written views, data, and arguments with
respect to the concerns identified above as well as any other relevant
concerns. Such comments should be submitted by July 26, 2019. Rebuttal
comments should be submitted by August 9, 2019. Although there do not
appear to be any issues relevant to approval or disapproval which would
be facilitated by an oral presentation of views, data, and arguments,
the Commission will consider, pursuant to Rule 19b-4, any request for
an opportunity to make an oral presentation.\37\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \37\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2). Section 19(b)(2) of the Act grants the
Commission flexibility to determine what type of proceeding--either
oral or notice and opportunity for written comments--is appropriate
for consideration of a particular proposal by an SRO. See Securities
Acts Amendments of 1975, Report of the Senate Committee on Banking,
Housing and Urban Affairs to Accompany S. 249, S. Rep. No. 75, 94th
Cong., 1st Sess. 30 (1975).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

merit of the Exchange's statements in support of the proposal, in
addition to

any other comments they may wish to submit about the proposed rule
change.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: FERC-730, Report of Transmission Investment Activity.
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0239.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-730 information
collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting
requirements.
    Abstract: This collection of information assists the Commission in
implementing section 219 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) \1\ and 18 CFR
35.35(h), which address incentive-based rate treatments for
transmission infrastructure investment. FERC-730 consists of an annual
report that includes projections, details on the level and status of
transmission investment, and the reason for delay (if any).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 16 U.S.C. 824s.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The regulation at 18 CFR 35.35(h) requires public utilities that
have been granted incentive rate treatment for specific transmission
projects to file FERC Form 730 annually, beginning with the calendar
year incentive rate treatment is granted by the Commission. Such
filings are due by April 18 of the following calendar year and are due
April 18 each year thereafter. The following information must be filed:
    (1) In dollar terms, actual transmission investment for the most
recent calendar year, and projected, incremental investments for the
next five calendar years; and
    (2) For all current and projected investments (except projects with
projected costs less than $20 million) over the next five calendar
years, a project-by-project listing that specifies for each project the
most up-to-date, expected completion date, percentage completion as of
the date of filing, and reasons for delays.
    For good cause shown, the Commission may extend the time within
which any FERC-730 filing is to be filed or waive the requirements
applicable to any such filing.
    The Commission uses the FERC-730 information collection to
determine an accurate assessment of the state of transmission
investment by public utilities. Filers are strongly encouraged to
submit the FERC-730 electronically via eFiling.
    Type of Respondents: Public utilities that have been granted
incentive based rate treatment for specific transmission projects under
provisions of 18 CFR 35.35.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: \2\ The Commission estimates 63
responses annually, and per-response burdens of 30 hours and $2,370.
The total estimated burdens per year are 1,890 hours and $171,990.
These burdens are itemized in the following table:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Burden is defined as the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
