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

    The Exchange is filing a proposal to amend Exchange Rule 518,
Complex Orders.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at http://www.miaxoptions.com/rule-filings/ at MIAX Options'
principal office, 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 statements 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 518, Complex Orders, to (i)
adopt definitions for the terms ``conforming ratio,'' and ``non-
conforming ratio;'' (ii) amend the current definition of a complex
order to incorporate the proposed conforming and non-conforming ratio
definitions; (iii) adopt new subsection (v) to Exchange Rule 518(c)(1)
to describe the processing of a complex order with a non-conforming
ratio; (iv) amend Exchange Rule 518(c)(2)(ii) to distinguish icMBBO
protection for complex orders with conforming ratios and complex orders
with non-conforming ratios; and (v) make minor clarifying edits
throughout Exchange Rule 518 to distinguish order handling of complex
orders with conforming ratios. Additionally, the Exchange proposes to
amend Rule 515A, MIAX Price Improvement Mechanism (``PRIME'') and PRIME
Solicitation Mechanism, to describe new scenarios which will cause a
cPRIME Auction \5\ to terminate prior to the end of the RFR period.
Finally, the Exchange proposes to update Exchange Rule 515 and Rule 516
to correct internal cross references that have changed as a result of
this proposal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Members may use PRIME to execute complex orders at a net
price. ``cPRIME'' is the process by which a Member may
electronically submit a cPRIME Order (as defined in Rule 518(b)(7))
it represents as agent (a ``cPRIME Agency Order'') against principal
or solicited interest for execution (a ``cPRIME Auction''). See
Exchange Rule 515A, Interpretations and Policies .12(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background
    Currently the Exchange defines a ``complex order'' as any order
involving the concurrent purchase and/or sale of two or more different
options in the same underlying security (the ``legs'' or ``components''
of the complex order), for the same account, in a ratio that is equal
to or greater than one-to-three (.333) and less than or equal to three-
to-one (3.00) and for the purposes of executing a particular investment
strategy. Mini-options may only be part of a complex order that
includes other mini-options. Only those complex orders in the classes
designated by the

Exchange and communicated to Members \6\ via Regulatory Circular with
no more than the applicable number of legs, as determined by the
Exchange on a class-by-class basis and communicated to Members via
Regulatory Circular, are eligible for processing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The term ``Member'' means an individual or organization
approved to exercise the trading rights associated with a Trading
Permit. Members are deemed ``members'' under the Exchange Act. See
Exchange Rule 100.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal
    Currently the Exchange will accept a complex order comprised solely
of option components in a ratio that is equal to or greater than one-
to-three (.333) or less than or equal to three-to-one (3.00).\7\ The
Exchange now proposes to accept complex orders comprised solely of
options with ratios larger than three-to-one or smaller than one-to-
three. To support its proposal the Exchange proposes to adopt a
definition for a ``conforming ratio'' to refer to complex orders where
the ratio between the sizes of the components of a complex order
comprised solely of options is equal to or greater than one-to-three
(.333) and less than or equal to three-to-one (3.00).\8\ Additionally,
the Exchange proposes to adopt a definition for a ``non-conforming
ratio'' to refer to complex orders where the ratio between the sizes of
the components of a complex order comprised solely of options is
greater than three-to-one (3.00) or less than one-to-three (.333).\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Exchange Rule 518(a)(5).
    \8\ See proposed Rule 518(a)(8).
    \9\ See proposed Exchange Rule 518(a)(16).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Subsequently, the Exchange proposes to amend Exchange Rule
518(c)(1)(iii) and (c)(1)(iv) to insert the phrase, ``with a conforming
ratio,'' to provide additional detail and clarity to the rule text.
Specifically, current Rule 518(c)(1)(iii) provides that, ``[i]f any
component of a complex strategy would be executed at a price that is
equal to a Priority Customer \10\ bid or offer on the Simple Order
Book, at least one other option component of the complex strategy must
trade at a price that is better than the corresponding MBBO.'' \11\ The
Exchange now proposes to amend this rule to provide that, ``[i]f any
component of a complex strategy with a conforming ratio would be
executed at a price that is equal to a Priority Customer bid or offer
on the Simple Order Book, at least one other option component of the
complex strategy must trade at a price that is better than the
corresponding MBBO.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The term ``Priority Customer'' means a person or entity
that (i) is not a broker or dealer in securities, and (ii) does not
place more than 390 orders in listed options per day on average
during a calendar month for its own beneficial account(s). See
Exchange Rule 100.
    \11\ The term ``MBBO'' means the best bid or offer on the
Exchange. See Exchange Rule 100.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Similarly, current Rule 518(c)(1)(iv) provides that, ``[a] complex
order will not be executed at a net price that would cause any option
component of the complex strategy to be executed: (A) at a price of
zero; or (B) ahead of a Priority Customer Order \12\ on the Simple
Order Book \13\ without improving the MBBO of at least one option
component of the complex strategy.'' The Exchange now propose to amend
this rule to provide that, ``[a] complex order with a conforming ratio
will not be executed at a net price that would cause any option
component of the complex strategy to be executed: (A) at a price of
zero; or (B) ahead of a Priority Customer Order on the Simple Order
Book without improving the MBBO of at least one option component of the
complex strategy.'' The proposed changes to Rule 518(c)(1)(iii) and
(c)(1)(iv) will make clear that existing complex priority provisions
apply only to complex orders with conforming ratios.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ The term ``Priority Customer Order'' means an order for the
account of a Priority Customer. See Exchange Rule 100.
    \13\ The ``Simple Order Book'' is the Exchange's regular
electronic book of orders and quotes. See Exchange Rule 518(a)(15).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to renumber current paragraph (c)(1)(v) to
new paragraph (c)(1)(vi) and to adopt new paragraph (v) to provide
that, ``[a] complex order with a non-conforming ratio will not be
executed at a net price that would cause any option component of the
complex strategy to be executed: (A) at a price of zero; (B) ahead of a
Priority Customer Order at the MBBO on the Simple Order Book; or (C) at
a price that is through the NBBO.'' \14\ Therefore, a complex order
with any ratio less than one-to-three or greater than three-to-one may
be executed at a net price only if each leg of the complex order
betters the corresponding bid (offer) of a Priority Customer Order(s)
on the Simple Order Book, and is not at a price that is through the
NBBO. These requirements are consistent with the rules of other option
exchanges that process complex orders in the same ratios.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ The term ``NBBO'' means the national best bid or offer as
calculated by the Exchange based on market information received by
the Exchange from OPRA. See Exchange Rule 100.
    \15\ See Cboe Exchange Rule 5.33(f)(2)(A)(iv)(b), and BOX
Options Rule 7240(b)(2)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, icMBBO \16\ protection will apply to both conforming
and non-conforming strategies as executions of complex orders (with
either conforming or non-conforming ratios) must comply with Exchange
Rule 518(c)(2)(ii).\17\ Accordingly, the Exchange proposes to amend
Rule 518(c)(2)(ii) to provide additional detail related to pricing for
conforming and non-conforming strategies. Specifically, the Exchange
proposes to add a clarifying parenthetical statement to the first
sentence to clearly differentiate the rules that apply to executions of
complex orders with conforming ratios and complex orders with non-
conforming rations when there is Priority Customer interest at the
MBBO. Specifically, the proposed sentence will state, ``Incoming
complex orders and quotes will be executed by the System in accordance
with the provisions set forth herein, and will not be executed at
prices inferior to the icMBBO or at a price that is equal to the icMBBO
when there is a Priority Customer Order (as defined in Rule 100) at the
best icMBBO price (complex orders with conforming ratios will be
executed in accordance with Rule 518(c)(1)(iv) and complex orders with
non-conforming ratios will be executed in accordance with Rule
518(c)(1)(v).'' With this amendment the Exchange represents that the
complex order priority rules will protect Priority Customer interest on
the Simple Order Book.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ The Implied Complex MIAX Best Bid or Offer (``icMBBO'') is
a calculation that uses the best price from the Simple Order Book
for each component of a complex strategy including displayed and
non-displayed trading interest. See Exchange Rule 518(a)(11).
    \17\ Exchange Rule 518(c)(2)(ii) provides that incoming complex
orders and quotes will be executed by the System in accordance with
the provisions set forth in Exchange Rule 518, and will not be
executed at prices inferior to the icMBBO or at a price that is
equal to the icMBBO when there is a Priority Customer Order (as
defined in Rule 100) at the best icMBBO price.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange does not propose to extend the complex order priority
afforded to complex orders with conforming ratios to those with non-
conforming ratios. Execution of complex orders with conforming ratios
will be unchanged under the Exchange's proposal and these orders will
continue to not be executed at a net price that would cause any option
component of the complex strategy to be executed: (A) at a price of
zero; or (B) ahead of a Priority Customer Order on the Simple Order
Book without improving the MBBO of at least one option component of the
complex strategy.
    The Exchange also proposes to amend the current definition of a
complex order as described in Rule 518(a)(5) to include the terms
conforming or non-conforming ratios as those terms are defined in the
Rule.

    The Exchange also proposes to amend Interpretations and Policies
.12(d) of Exchange Rule 515A, MIAX Price Improvement Mechanism
(``PRIME'') and PRIME Solicitation Mechanism to adopt two new
paragraphs which will describe new scenarios that arise as a result of
the Exchange processing complex orders with non-conforming ratios,
which will cause a cPRIME Auction to terminate prior to the end of the
RFR period.
    Currently Interpretations and Policies .12(d) of Exchange Rule
515A, provides that, a cPRIME Auction shall conclude at the sooner of
(i) \18\ through (vii) as listed in the Rule below with the cPRIME
Agency Order executing pursuant to Rule 515A(2)(iii). The Exchange
proposes to describe two new scenarios that will terminate a cPRIME
Auction prior to the conclusion of the RFR period as subparagraphs
(viii) and (ix), as described more fully below. Consequently, the
Exchange proposes to amend the first sentence of Interpretations and
Policies .12(d) of Exchange Rule 515A to account for the addition of
these scenarios. As proposed, the new sentence would provide that,
``[a] cPRIME Auction shall conclude at the sooner of (i) through (ix)
below with the cPRIME Agency Order executing pursuant to Rule
515A(2)(iii) below:''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ The end of the RFR Period. See Interpretations and Policies
.12(d)(i) of Exchange Rule 515A.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to adopt paragraph (viii) to Interpretations
and Policies .12(d) of Rule 515A to provide that, ``a Priority Customer
Order, eligible to rest on the Simple Order Book, is received on either
side of the market as the cPRIME Agency Order with a non-conforming
ratio, and causes any component of the cPRIME Agency Order to lock or
cross a Priority Customer Order at (A) the best price opposite the
cPRIME Agency Order; or (B) the initiating price.'' The Exchange also
proposes to adopt paragraph (ix) to provide that, ``the NBBO for a
component of a cPRIME Agency Order with a non-conforming ratio updates
to a price that would cause any option component of the cPRIME Agency
Order to be executed at a price through the NBBO for that series.''
    These provisions ensure that a cPRIME Agency Order will always
receive the best price on the Exchange while simultaneously preserving
the integrity of the simple market by preventing a component of an
order with a non-conforming ratio from trading ahead of Priority
Customer interest or trading through the NBBO.
Example 1
    A Priority Customer Order in a component of the strategy, eligible
to rest on the Simple Order Book, is received on the same side of the
market as the cPRIME Agency Order with a non-conforming ratio, and
causes a component of the cPRIME Agency Order to lock a Priority
Customer Order at the best price opposite the cPRIME Agency Order.

MIAX--LMM \19\ Sep 50 Call 1.81-1.82 (10 x 10)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ The term ``Lead Market Maker'' means a Member registered
with the Exchange for the purpose of making markets in securities
traded on the Exchange and that is vested with the rights and
responsibilities specified in Chapter VI of these Rules with respect
to Lead Market Makers. When a Lead Market Maker is appointed to act
in the capacity of a Primary Lead Market Maker, the additional
rights and responsibilities of a Primary Lead Market Maker specified
in Chapter VI of these Rules will apply. See Exchange Rule 100.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

MIAX--LMM Sep 55 Call 1.29-1.30 (10 x 10)
MIAX--Priority Customer Sep 55 Call order to sell 10 at 1.30 \20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ A leg of a non-conforming strategy may not execute ahead of
a Priority Customer Order at the MBBO on the Simple Order Book,
therefore while there is a Priority Customer Order priced at 1.30
for the Sep 55 Call, the price used for this leg to establish the
net price will be 1.29. See proposed Exchange Rule 518(c)(1)(v).
(The Auction starts as the net price of 0.52 may still be achieved
if the other leg in the strategy (Sep 50 Call) can be executed at
1.81.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Strategy: Buy 1 Sep 50 Call, Sell 1 Sep 55 Call
The icMBBO \21\ is 0.51 debit bid and 0.53 credit offer
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ The Implied Complex MIAX Best Bid or Offer (``icMBBO'') is
a calculation that uses the best price from the Simple Order Book
for each component of a complex strategy including displayed and
non-displayed trading interest. See Exchange Rule 518(a)(11).

    The Exchange receives a cPRIME Order with a non-conforming ratio
with the cPRIME Agency Order representing the purchase of the Strategy
at a net debit of 0.52, (Buy Sep 50 Call at 1.82, Sell Sep 55 Call at
1.30) 500 times. (Auto-match is not enabled and there are no orders for
the Strategy on the Strategy Book.)
    Since the order price is at least $0.01 better than (inside) the
icMBBO and the best net price of any order for the Strategy on the
Strategy Book, a cPRIME Auction can begin.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ The initiating price for a cPRIME Agency Order must be
better than (inside) the icMBBO for the strategy and any other
complex orders on the Strategy Book. The System will reject cPRIME
Agency Orders submitted with an initiating price that is equal to or
worse than (outside) the icMBBO or any other complex orders on the
Strategy Book. See Interpretations and Policies .12(a)(i) of
Exchange Rule 515A.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A Request for Responses (``RFR'') is broadcast to all subscribers
and the RFR period is started.
    The following responses are received:

 @70 milliseconds MM1 response, cAOC eQuote @0.52 credit sell
of 100 arrives

    The cPRIME Auction process will continue until the Response Time
Interval ends or an event eligible to cause the cPRIME Auction to end
sooner occurs.

 @85 milliseconds a Priority Customer simple order bid to pay
1.81 for 10 Sep 50 Calls arrives

    Since the pre-existing simple order to sell at 1.30 is Priority
Customer, the tradable component prices of the cPRIME Order are 1.81
for the Sep 50 Call and 1.29 for the Sep 55 Call, for a net debit price
of 0.52.
    However, because the new order to buy at 1.81 is also Priority
Customer and causes a tradable component of the cPRIME Agency Order
(Sep 50 Call) to lock a Priority Customer Order at the best price
opposite the cPRIME Agency Order, the cPRIME Auction will terminate.
    The cPRIME Auction is concluded prior to the end of the Response
Time Interval to prevent the cPRIME Agency Order from trading ahead of
a Priority Customer in any component of the cPRIME Agency Order.
    The cPRIME Auction process will trade the cPRIME Agency Order with
the best priced responses. The cPRIME Agency order will be filled as
follows:

 The cPRIME Agency Order buys 400 from the Contra side @0.52
 The cPRIME Agency Order buys 100 from MM1 @0.52
Example 2
    A Priority Customer Order in a component of the strategy, eligible
to rest on the Simple Order Book, is received on the opposite side of
the market from the cPRIME Agency Order with a non-conforming ratio,
and causes a component of the cPRIME Agency Order to lock a Priority
Customer at the initiating price.

MIAX--LMM Sep 50 Call 1.81-1.82 (10 x 10)
MIAX--LMM Sep 55 Call 1.29-1.30 (10 x 10)
MIAX--Priority Customer Sep 55 Call order to buy 10 at 1.29
Strategy: Buy 1 Sep 50 Call, Sell 1 Sep 55 Call
The icMBBO is 0.51 debit bid and 0.53 credit offer

    The Exchange receives a cPRIME Order with a non-conforming ratio
with the cPRIME Agency Order representing the purchase of the Strategy
at a net debit of 0.52, (Buy Sep 50 Call at 1.82, Sell Sep 55 Call at
1.30), 500 times.

(Auto-match is not enabled and there are no orders for the Strategy on
the Strategy Book.)
    Since the order price is at least $0.01 better than (inside) the
icMBBO and the best net price of any order for the Strategy on the
Strategy Book, a cPRIME Auction can begin.
    A Request for Responses (``RFR'') is broadcast to all subscribers
and the RFR period is started.
    The following responses are received:

 @70 milliseconds MM1 response, cAOC eQuote @0.52 credit sell
of 100 arrives

    The cPRIME Auction process will continue until the Response Time
Interval ends or an event eligible to cause the cPRIME Auction to end
sooner occurs.

 @85 milliseconds a Priority Customer simple order offer to
sell at 1.82 for 10 Sep 50 Calls arrives

    Since the pre-existing simple order to buy Sep 55 Call at 1.29 is
Priority Customer, the tradable component prices of the cPRIME Order
are 1.82 for the Sep 50 Call and 1.30 for the Sep 55 Call, for a net
debit price of 0.52.
    However, because the new order to sell at 1.82 is also Priority
Customer and causes a tradable component of the cPRIME Agency Order
(Sep 50 Call) to lock a Priority Customer Order at the initiating
price; the cPRIME Auction will terminate.
    The cPRIME Auction is concluded prior to the end of the Response
Time Interval to prevent the cPRIME Agency Order from trading ahead of
a Priority Customer in any component of the cPRIME Agency Order.
    The cPRIME Auction process will trade the cPRIME Agency Order with
the best priced responses. The cPRIME Agency order will be filled as
follows:

 The cPRIME Agency Order buys 400 from the Contra side @0.52
 The cPRIME Agency Order buys 100 from MM1 @0.52
Example 3
    The NBBO for a component of a cPRIME Agency Order with a non-
conforming ratio updates to a price that would cause a component to
trade through the NBBO.

MIAX--LMM Sep 50 Call 1.81-1.82 (10 x 10)
MIAX--LMM Sep 55 Call 1.29-1.30 (10 x 10)
MIAX--Priority Customer Sep 55 Call order to buy 10 at 1.29
Strategy: Buy 1 Sep 50 Call, Sell 1 Sep 55 Call
The icMBBO is 0.51 debit bid and 0.53 credit offer

    The Exchange receives a cPRIME Order with a non-conforming ratio
with the cPRIME Agency Order representing the purchase of the Strategy
at a net debit of 0.52, (Buy Sep 50 Call at 1.82, Sell Sep 55 Call at
1.30), 500 times. (Auto-match is not enabled and there are no orders
for the Strategy on the Strategy Book.)
    Since the order price is at least $0.01 better than (inside) the
icMBBO and the best net price of any order for the Strategy on the
Strategy Book, a cPRIME Auction can begin.
    A Request for Responses (``RFR'') is broadcast to all subscribers
and the RFR period is started.
    The following responses are received:

 @70 milliseconds MM1 response, cAOC eQuote @0.52 credit sell
of 100 arrives

    The cPRIME Auction process will continue until the Response Time
Interval ends or an event eligible to cause the cPRIME Auction to end
sooner occurs.

The ABBO updates to 1.80-1.81 (10x10) for the Sep 50 Call

    Since the pre-existing simple order to buy Sep 55 Call at 1.29 is
Priority Customer, the tradable component prices of the cPRIME order
are 1.82 for the Sep 50 Call and 1.30 for the Sep 55 Call, for a net
debit price of 0.52.
    However, because the ABBO update to sell Sep 50 Call at 1.81 is
better than the local best offer (1.82), this causes the tradable price
to be through the NBBO for that component and is no longer tradable.
    The cPRIME Auction is concluded prior to the end of the Response
Time Interval to prevent the non-conforming strategy trading through
any component NBBO.
    The cPRIME Auction process will trade the cPRIME Agency Order with
the best priced responses. The cPRIME Agency order will be filled as
follows:

 The cPRIME Agency Order buys 400 from the Contra side @0.52
 The cPRIME Agency Order buys 100 from MM1 @0.52

    The Exchange also proposes to allow bids and offers on complex
orders, quotes and RFR Responses for complex strategies having only
option components and a non-conforming ratio to be expressed in $0.01
increments, and the component(s) of such a complex order may be
executed in $0.01 increments, regardless of the minimum increments
otherwise applicable to individual components of the complex order. The
Exchange notes that electronic trading of complex orders with non-
conforming ratios in one cent increments was recently established on
another exchange.\23\ Further, the Exchange notes that complex orders
with conforming ratios are currently traded in one cent increments on
the Exchange \24\ and the proposed change will allow trading of complex
orders in one cent increments for all complex orders on the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 94204 (February 9,
2022), 87 FR 8625 (February 15, 2022) (SR-CBOE-2021-046) and Cboe
Rule 5.4(b); see also BOX Options Rule 7240(b)(1).
    \24\ See Exchange Rule 518(c)(1)(i).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange understands that there may be some concerns that if
the ratios of complex orders, where each component leg is allowed to
trade in one cent increments, are too greatly expanded, market
participants will, for example, enter complex orders with non-
conforming ratios designed primarily to trade orders in a class in
pennies that cannot otherwise execute as simple orders in that class in
pennies. The Exchange believes it is highly unlikely that market
participants will submit non-bona-fide trading strategies with larger
ratios just to trade in penny increments. Adding a single leg to a
larger order just to obtain penny pricing may further reduce execution
opportunities for such an order because it may be less likely that
sufficient contracts in the appropriate ratio would be available and
because it is unlikely that other market participants would be willing
to execute against an order that is not a bona-fide trading strategy.
Further, the Exchange notes that all option series traded on the
Exchange can currently trade in penny increments in the Exchange's
Price Improvement Mechanism (``PRIME'') regardless of the minimum
increment otherwise applicable.\25\ Lastly, the Exchange notes that
pursuant to Exchange Rule 301, no Member shall engage in acts or
practices inconsistent with just and equitable principles of trade, and
entering orders for non-bona-fide trading strategies may constitute
acts or practices inconsistent with just and equitable principles of
trade.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ See Exchange Rule 515A(a)(2)(i)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, the Exchange proposes to make non-substantive edits to
Exchange Rule 515 and Rule 516, to update internal cross references to
the location of certain definitions that have changed as a result of
this proposal.
Implementation
    The Exchange will announce the implementation of complex orders
with non-conforming strategies by Regulatory Circular at least 48 hours
prior to implementation of this functionality, as

the Exchange believes that 48 hours of notice is adequate for Members.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposed rule change is consistent
with the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the
Exchange and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the
Act,\26\ 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
regulating, clearing, settling, processing information with respect to,
and facilitating transactions in, securities, to remove impediments to
and perfect the mechanisms of a free and open market and a national
market system and, in general, to protect investors and the public
interest. Additionally, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change
is consistent with the Section (6)(b)(5) \27\ requirement that the
rules of an exchange not be designed to permit unfair discrimination
between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.

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

    The Exchange currently only processes complex orders that fit
within the proposed definition of a conforming ratio, that is complex
orders with a ratio between the sizes of the option components equal to
or greater than one-to-three (.333) and less than or equal to three-to-
one (3.00) and for the purposes of executing a particular investment
strategy.\28\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \28\ See Exchange Rule 518(a)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In particular, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change will
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market and benefit investors, because it will allow market participants
to execute complex strategies with option components only in ratios
greater than three-to-one or less than one-to-three (``non-conforming
ratios'' as proposed herein). The proposed rule change will further
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market and a national market system, as other options exchanges permit
the trading of complex orders with any ratio.\29\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \29\ See Cboe Exchange Rules 1.1 (Complex Order) and 5.33; see
also BOX Exchange Rule 7240(a)(10), (b)(1) and (b)(2)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed change rule change will continue to protect Priority
Customer Order interest on the Simple Order Book in the same manner as
it does today, as all complex orders with a conforming ratio will
continue to be executed on the Exchange without change. The proposed
rule change has no impact on the priority of complex orders with a
conforming ratio, as complex orders with a conforming ratio will
continue to be required to improve the price of a leg of the complex
order for which a Priority Customer Order is resting at the BBO in the
Simple Order Book,\30\ and thus will continue to protect Priority
Customer Orders in the Simple Order Book. Additionally, the Exchange
will not allow any component of a complex order with a non-conforming
strategy to execute ahead of a Priority Customer resting at the BBO in
the Simple Order Book.\31\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \30\ See Exchange Rule 518(c)(3).
    \31\ See proposed Rule 518(c)(1)(v).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, the Exchange believes the proposed amendment to
revise Exchange Rule 518(c)(2) to indicate icMBBO protection for
complex orders with conforming ratios will require those orders to be
executed in accordance with Rule 518(c)(1)(iv) and complex orders with
non-conforming ratios to be executed in accordance with Rule
518(c)(1)(v) will clarify the operation of the icMBBO protection for
complex orders with a conforming ratio and complex orders with a non-
conforming ratio. This change benefits investors and the public as it
clarifies that the complex order priority rules will continue to
protect Priority Customer interest on the Simple Order Book.
    The Exchange believes the proposed changes will increase
opportunities for execution of complex orders and lead to tighter
spreads on the Exchange, which will benefit all investors. The Exchange
also believes that the proposed rule change is designed to not permit
unfair discrimination among market participants, as all market
participants may trade complex orders, and the priority and eligibility
requirements apply to complex orders of all market participants.
    Additionally, the Exchange believes that including additional
scenarios which will terminate a cPRIME Auction promotes just and
equitable principles of trade and removes impediments to a free and
open market by providing greater transparency concerning the operation
of Exchange functionality. These provisions ensure that a cPRIME Agency
Order will always receive the best price on the Exchange while
simultaneously preserving the integrity of the simple market.
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is designed to promote just
and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect
the mechanism of a free an open market and a national market system,
and, in general to protect investors and the public interest, by
enhancing its System \32\ and rules governing complex orders. The
Exchange's proposal should provide market participants with trading
opportunities more closely aligned with their investment or risk
management strategies.

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 Exchange does not believe that its proposed rule change will
impose any burden on intra-market competition as the Rules of the
Exchange apply equally to all Members of the Exchange and all Members
may submit complex orders. Therefore, any Member of the Exchange may
submit a complex order with a conforming or non-conforming ratio and
the order will be handled in a uniform fashion by the System.
    The Exchange does not believe that its proposed rule change will
impose any burden on inter-market competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, rather the
Exchange believes that its proposal will promote inter-market
competition. The Exchange notes that other options exchanges provide
for the electronic trading of complex orders with only option
components with ratios that are less than one-to-three and greater than
three-to-one, and allow these orders to be priced and executed in one
cent increments.\33\ As such, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \33\ See Cboe Exchange Rule 5.4(b); see also BOX Exchange Rule
7240(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange does not believe the proposed amendment to clarify
icMBBO protections imposes any burden on intra-market competition that
is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the
Act. Complex orders submitted by Members with conforming ratios will
continue to be handled by the System without change. Complex orders
submitted by Members with non-conforming ratios will be handled
uniformly by the System as described in this proposal. The Exchange
does not believe that this proposed change imposes any burden on inter-
market competition as the

icMBBO protection is designed to protect Priority Customer priority on
the Exchange's Book and is not a change made for competitive reasons.
    Additionally, the Exchange does not believe that its new proposed
scenarios to terminate a cPRIME Auction imposes any burden on intra-
market competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act, as the proposed changes are designed to add
additional detail to the rules to further clarify the operation of
Exchange functionality and to minimize the potential for confusion. The
Exchange does not believe that this proposed change imposes any burden
on inter-market competition as this change is designed to protect
Priority Customer priority on the Exchange's Book and is not a change
made for competitive reasons.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not (a)
significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (b) impose any significant burden on competition; and (c)
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 \34\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\35\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \34\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \35\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally does
not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the filing.
However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\36\ the Commission may
designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay. As noted above,
other options exchanges currently allow complex orders with a ratio
less than one-to-three or greater than three-to-one to trade
electronically in $0.01 increments.\37\ Under the proposal, no
component leg of a complex order with a non-conforming ratio will
execute (A) at a price of zero; (B) ahead of a Priority Customer Order
at the MBBO on the Simple Order Book; or (C) at a price that is through
the NBBO.\38\ Accordingly, the Exchange states that a non-conforming
ratio complex order may be executed at a net price only if each leg of
the complex order betters the corresponding bid (offer) of a Priority
Customer Order(s) on the Simple Order Book, and is not at a price that
is through the NBBO. The Exchange states that waiver of the operative
delay will allow the Exchange to immediately offer market participants
the choice of another execution venue for the electronic trading of
complex orders with non-conforming ratios. The Exchange further states
that market participants may benefit from competition between
exchanges, may find the trade execution services and fees on one
exchange more favorable than another, or may find it more convenient to
access on exchange over another. Accordingly, the Exchange believes
that waiving the operative delay will allow the Exchange to immediately
make a competitive offering to market participants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \36\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \37\ See BOX Rules 7240(a)(10); 7240(b)(1); and 7240(b)(2)(iii);
and Cboe Rules 1.1 (stating, in the definition of complex order,
that ``the Exchange determines on a class-by-class basis whether
complex orders with ratios less than one-to-three (.333) or greater
than three-to-one (3.00) (except for Index Combo orders) are
eligible for electronic processing'')); 5.4(b); and
5.33(f)(2)(A)(iv)(b).
    \38\ See proposed Exchange Rule 518(c)(1)(v).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission finds that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.
The proposal will provide investors with an additional venue for
electronically trading complex orders with a ratio less than one-to-
three or greater than three-to-one. The Commission believes that
proposal does not raise new or novel regulatory issues because other
options exchanges currently provide for the electronic trading of
complex orders with a ratio less than one-to-three or greater than
three-to-one.\39\ The proposal protects the priority of resting
Priority Customer orders by providing that no component leg of a non-
conforming ratio complex order will be executed ahead of a Priority
Customer Order at the MBBO on the Simple Order Book.\40\ This
requirement is consistent with the rules of other options exchanges
that provide for the electronic trading of complex orders with a ratio
less than one-to-three or greater than three-to-one.\41\ As described
above, the proposal also revises Exchange Rule 515A, Interpretation and
Policy .12(d) to provide that a cPRIME Auction for a non-conforming
ratio cPRIME Agency Order will terminate early when a single-leg
Priority Customer Order arrives and causes any component of the cPRIME
Agency Order to lock or cross a Priority Customer Order at the best
price opposite the cPRIME Agency Order or the initiating price.\42\ A
cPRIME Auction for a non-conforming ratio cPRIME Agency Order also will
terminate early when the NBBO for a component of the cPRIME Agency
Order updates to a price that would cause any component of the cPRIME
Agency Order to be executed at a price that is through the NBBO for
that series.\43\ The Exchange states that these provisions ensure that
a cPRIME Agency Order will always receive the best price on the
Exchange while preserving the integrity of the simple market by
preventing a component of a non-conforming ratio complex order from
trading ahead of Priority Customer interest or trading through the
NBBO. In addition, as discussed above, the Exchange believes it is
highly unlikely that market participants will submit non-bona-fide
trading strategies with larger ratios solely for the purpose of trading
in penny increments. The Exchange states that adding a single leg to a
larger order to obtain penny pricing could reduce execution
opportunities for such an order because it may be less likely that
sufficient contracts in the appropriate ratio would be available and
because it is unlikely that other market participants would be willing
to execute against an order that is not a bona-fide trading strategy.
Further, the Exchange notes that all option series traded on the
Exchange can currently trade in penny increments in the Exchange's
PRIME auction, regardless of the minimum increment otherwise
applicable.\44\ The Exchange also states that entering orders for non-
bona-fide trading strategies could constitute an act or practice
inconsistent with just and equitable principles of trade, in violation
of

Exchange Rule 301. For these reasons, the Commission designates the
proposal operative upon filing.\45\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \39\ See footnote 37, supra.
    \40\ See proposed Exchange Rule 518(c)(1)(v). In addition, the
proposal revises Exchange Rule 518(c)(2)(ii), which provides that
complex orders will not be executed at prices inferior to the icMBBO
or at a price that is equal to the icMBBO when there is a Priority
Customer Order at the best icMBBO price, to indicate that complex
orders with non-conforming ratios will be executed in accordance
with proposed Exchange Rule 518(c)(1)(v).
    \41\ See BOX Rule 7240(b)(2)(iii); and Cboe Rule
5.33(f)(2)(iv)(b).
    \42\ See proposed Exchange Rule 515A, Interpretation and Policy
.12(d)(viii).
    \43\ See proposed Exchange Rule 515A, Interpretation and Policy
.12(d)(ix).
    \44\ See Exchange Rule 515A(a)(2)(i)(F).
    \45\ For purposes only of accelerating the operative date of
this proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's
impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 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 to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports have
been made final for the communities listed in the table below.
    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that a community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's)
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS
report are used by insurance agents and others to calculate appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for buildings and the contents of those
buildings.

DATES: The effective date of July 16, 2014 which has been established
for the FIRM and, where applicable, the supporting FIS report showing
the new or modified flood hazard information for each community.

ADDRESSES: The FIRM, and if applicable, the FIS report containing the
final flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at the respective Community Map Repository address listed in
the tables below and will be available online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov by the effective date indicated
above.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,

Missouri

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action to approve a revision to the
State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the State of Missouri for
the purpose of incorporating administrative changes to the Missouri
rule entitled ``Municipal Solid Waste Landfills''. EPA is approving
this SIP revision based on EPA's finding that the rule is as stringent
as the rule it replaces and fulfills the requirements of the Clean Air
Act (CAA or Act) for the protection of the ozone National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS) in St. Louis.

DATES: This direct final rule will be effective June 16, 2014, without
further notice, unless EPA receives adverse comment by May 15, 2014. If
EPA receives adverse comment, we will publish a timely withdrawal of
the direct final rule in the Federal Register informing the public that
the rule will not take effect.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-
OAR-2013-0672, by one of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' or
``our'' refer to EPA. This section provides additional information by
addressing the following:

I. What is being addressed in this document?
II. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP revision been met?
III. What action is EPA taking?

I. What is being addressed in this document?

    EPA is approving a revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP)
submitted by the State of Missouri for the purpose of incorporating
administrative changes to the Missouri rule entitled ``Municipal Solid
Waste Landfills'' rule, 10 CSR 10-5.490. This revision updates the rule
to maintain consistency with the Federal requirements, corrects
typographical errors, includes formatting changes, and corrects
inconsistencies from previous final rule actions. Missouri's request to
move definitions to rule 10 CSR 10-6.020 ``Definitions and Common
Reference Tables'' will be addressed in a separate rulemaking action.
    Specifically, the State of Missouri made the following changes in
rule 10 CSR 10-5.490 ``Municipal Solid Waste Landfills''. Subsections
(1)(B) and (1)(C) were amended to add and correct legal citations.
Subsection (1)(D) was added to match the text of 40 CFR 60, subpart Cc.
Section (2) was amended to move all definitions to Missouri rule 10 CSR
10-6.020 which will be addressed in a separate action. Section (3) was
amended and sections (4) through (7) were amended and renumbered to
match the format of rule 10 CSR 10-6.310 ``Restriction of Emissions
from Municipal Solid Waste Landfills'' and text of 40 CFR 60, subpart
WWW, and correct legal citations. Subpart (3)(C) was added to
incorporate by reference parts of the Code of Federal Regulations.
Section (4) was added to match rule 10 CSR 10-6.310 and the most
current 40 CFR 60, subpart WWW. Sections (9) and (10) were added to
match rule 10 CSR 10-6.310 and the text of 40 CFR 60, subpart WWW.
    In a separate action being published in today's Federal Register,
EPA is taking action to approve Missouri's state plan for designated
facilities for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills under CAA 111(d)
authority. This separate action pertains to Missouri rules 10 CSR 10-
5.490 and 10 CSR 10-6.310.

II. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP revision been met?

    The Missouri Air Conservation Commission adopted these actions on
February 12, 2012, after considering comments received at public
hearing. The rule became effective on May 30, 2012. The commission has
full legal authority to develop rules pursuant to Section 643.050 of
the Missouri Air Conservation Law. The state followed all applicable
administrative procedures in proposing and adopting the rule actions.
    The state submission has met the public notice requirements for SIP
submissions in accordance with 40 CFR 51.102. The submission also
satisfies the completeness criteria of 40 CFR part 51, appendix V. In
addition the revision meets the substantive SIP requirements of the
CAA, including section 110 and implementing regulations.

III. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is approving the revision to the SIP submitted by the State of
Missouri for the purpose of incorporating administrative changes to the
``Municipal Solid Waste Landfills'' rule 10 CSR 10-5.490. EPA is
approving this SIP revision based on EPA's finding that the rule is as
stringent as the rule it replaces and fulfills the requirements of the
CAA.
    EPA is publishing this rule without a prior proposed rule because
we view this as a noncontroversial action and anticipate no adverse
comment because the revisions are administrative and consistent with
Federal regulations. However, in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of
today's Federal Register, we are publishing a separate document that
will serve as the proposed rule to approve the SIP revision. If EPA
receives adverse comments on this direct final rule, we will publish a
timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that
this direct final rule will not take effect. We would address all
public comments in any subsequent final rule based on the proposed
rule.

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible

methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by June 16, 2014. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this direct final rule does not
affect the finality of this rule for the purposes of judicial review
nor does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review
may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules
section of today's Federal Register, rather than file an immediate
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can
withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed
rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
