SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-83192; File No. SR-BX-2018-017]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Nasdaq BX, Inc.; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To Reorganize and
Amend Chapter XV, Section 3, entitled BX Options Market--Ports and
Other Services

May 9, 2018.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on April 27, 2018, Nasdaq BX, Inc. (``BX'' or ``Exchange'') 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 proposes to reorganize and amend Chapter XV, Section
3, entitled ``BX Options Market--Ports and Other Services.''
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at http://nasdaqbx.cchwallstreet.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 aspects of such
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to reorganize and amend Chapter XV, Section
3, entitled ``BX Options Market--Ports and Other Services.'' The
Exchange offers various services across its 6 affiliated options
markets, BX, The Nasdaq Options Market LLC, Nasdaq Phlx LLC, Nasdaq
ISE, LLC, Nasdaq GEMX, LLC and Nasdaq MRX, LLC (``Nasdaq Affiliated
Markets'').\3\ The Exchange desires to rename services to conform the
naming of the offerings across all Nasdaq Affiliated Markets. The
Exchange proposes to reorganize Section 3 to list order and quote
protocols first, order and execution offerings next, followed by data
ports and other ports as the last section. The Exchange proposes to
list data offerings which are offered at no cost. The Exchange believes
that aligning its offerings, where relevant, across the Nasdaq
Affiliated Markets will provide more transparency as to the offerings
for market participants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Exchange will file a similar rule change on each Nasdaq
Affiliated Market to conform the offerings by amending naming to
make them similar and delineating each offering on the fee schedule
where no fee is assessed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ports
    The Exchange proposes to define a port within Section 3 to provide
additional clarity to the fee schedule as ``a logical connection or
session that enables a market participant to send inbound messages and/
or receive outbound messages from the Exchange using various
communication protocols.'' The Exchange believes this definition will
assist Participants in distinguishing ports from other offerings.
Order and Quote Protocols
    The Exchange proposes to add a new section (i) and include the
following introductory sentence, ``The following order and quote
protocols are available on BX.'' Today, BX offers market participants
an Order Entry order protocol and an SQF quote protocol. These fees
currently exist on the fee schedule. The Exchange is not amending any
pricing related to these protocols. The Exchange proposes to rename
``Order Entry Port Fee'' as ``FIX Port Fee.'' This description is more
accurate as ``FIX'' is the name of the order entry protocol. A
Participant may request an SQF Port or an SQF Purge Port, the price is
$500 for either port. SQF is an interface that allows market makers to
connect and send quotes, sweeps and auction responses into the
Exchange. The SQF Purge port only receives and notifies of purge
requests from the market maker. The proposal is to include a line item
for each offering because a market participant may either select an SQF
port or an SQF Purge Port and both are assessed the same $500 fee. The
price does not vary. The Exchange separately lists these offerings on
Nasdaq ISE, LLC. A separate line item will make clear that there are
two options for this offering. The price of the SQF Purge Port is not
being amended.
    The Exchange believes that grouping the available order and quote
protocols together into their own subsection will provide greater
transparency within its fee schedule as to the available protocols.
Order and Execution Information
    The Exchange proposes to add a new section (ii) and add the
following introductory sentence, ``The following order and execution
information is available to Participants.'' The Exchange proposes to
group the available order and execution information that is particular
to a Participant's executions on BX into its own subsection. Today, BX
offers CTI, Order Entry DROP and

TradeInfo. The Exchange proposes to rename ``Order Entry DROP'' as
``FIX DROP'' for the reasons described above. Nasdaq ISE, LLC uses the
term FIX DROP. The Exchange proposes to add the word ``Interface''
after ``TradeInfo'' to make clear that this particular offering is an
interface. The Exchange proposes to relocate these current fees into
section (ii). No changes are being made to pricing and these fees exist
today within Section 3.

Data Ports

    The Exchange proposes to add a new section (iii) and include the
following information, ``The following data ports fees apply in
connection with data subscriptions pursuant to BX Rules at Chapter XV,
Section 4. The below port fees do not apply if the subscription is
delivered via multicast.'' The following sentence is simply being
relocated, ``These ports are available to non-BX Participants and BX
Participants.'' The Exchange believes the addition of this sentence
makes clear where the related applicable data fees can be located and
when the fees for ports are charged. The Exchange notes that if the
subscription is delivered via multicast, the port fee is not charged.
There are multiple ways in which data can be communicated. Multicast
refers to sending data across a network to several users as [sic] a
time. Unicast on the other hand sends data across a network to a single
recipient. Finally, TCP, which stands for Transmission Control Protocol
and is also known as ``TCP/IP'' refers to the suite which includes the
internet Protocol, provides host-to-host connectivity. Today, the
Exchange requires a port when a Participant utilized Unicast and TCP/IP
delivery, but does not required [sic] a port when a Participant selects
multicast delivery. The Exchange believes this additional information
will add more transparency to the fee schedule for Participants
selecting data transmission options. The Exchange notes the current
offerings for BX Depth and BX Top are being relocated within this
section. No changes are being made to the fees.
Other Ports
    The Exchange proposes to adopt a new section (iv) entitled ``Other
Ports'' to include Disaster Recovery Ports. Today, the Exchange offers
Disaster Recovery Ports for all the ports reorganized into proposed
subsections (i), (ii) and (iii). The Exchange is noting that these
ports are available at no cost to make clear their availability.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,\4\ in
general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\5\
in particular, in that it is designed to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism
for a free and open market and a national market system, and, in
general, to protect investors and the public interest, by providing
greater transparency as to the order and execution information offered
on BX. The Exchange's proposal to reorganize Section 3 and rename
certain offerings to conform to other Nasdaq Affiliated Markets will
provide clarity as to the offerings and uniformity in naming similar
offerings. The Exchange believes that its new structure makes clear the
differences in its offerings and the availability of various options
within each type of offering. The Exchange's proposal is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest in that the
proposal provides greater transparency as to the offerings, the
application of fees and the availability of offerings which are offered
at no cost. The Exchange's proposal to define a port should also
provide market participants with greater insight into the terminology
utilized within Section 3.

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

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

    In accordance with Section 6(b)(8) of the Act,\6\ the Exchange does
not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on
intermarket or intra-market competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange's
proposal does not impose an undue burden on competition, rather the
Exchange is seeking to provide greater transparency within its rules
with respect to the various order and execution information offered on
BX. The offerings are available to all Participants. The Exchange does
not intend to amend pricing, rather it proposes to make clear the
application of the current pricing.

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

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    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, the proposed rule change has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \8\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \9\ normally
does not become operative for 30 days after the date of filing.
However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\10\ 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 so that the proposal
may become operative immediately upon filing. The Exchange states that
such waiver will allow it to update its rules immediately to provide
more detailed and reorganized information regarding its offerings and
further the protection of investors and the public interest because it
will provide greater transparency as to the offerings available to
members. For this reason, the Commission believes that waiving the 30-
day operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and
the public interest and, therefore, the Commission designates the
proposed rule change to be operative upon filing.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \11\ 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 to determine whether the proposed rule should be approved
or disapproved.

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
the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules Section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this action
rule, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse
comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public
comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on
this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any
parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this
time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.
    For additional information, see the direct final rule which is
located in the Rules Section of this Federal Register.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-65163; File No. PCAOB-2011-01]

Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; Order Approving
Proposed Temporary Rule for an Interim Program of Inspection Related to
Audits of Brokers and Dealers

August 18, 2011.

I. Introduction

    On June 21, 2011, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(the ``Board'' or the ``PCAOB'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission''), pursuant to Section 107(b) \1\ of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the ``Sarbanes-Oxley Act'') and Section
19(b)(1) \2\ of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Exchange
Act''), a proposed rule change (PCAOB-2011-01) to establish an interim
inspection program related to audits of brokers and dealers. The
proposed Rule 4020T amends Section 4 of the Board's rules. The Board
also adopted amendments to Section 1 of its rules to add notes
following Rules 1001(a)(v), 1001(a)(vi), and 1001(p)(vi). The proposed
rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register on July
12, 2011.\3\ The Commission received one comment letter on the proposed
rule change. This order approves the proposed rule change.

    \3\ Release No. 34-64814 (Jul. 6, 2011) [76 FR 40961 (Jul. 12,
2011)].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Discussion

    Section 982 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act \4\ amended the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to give the Board
explicit oversight authority with respect to audits of brokers and
dealers that are registered with the Commission.\5\ Among other things,
the Board is authorized to

establish an inspection program by rule.\6\ Section 104(a)(2) of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act provides that, in establishing such a program:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Public Law 111-203, 124 Stat. 1376 (Jul. 21, 2010).
    \5\ For information regarding the audit of brokers' and dealers'
financial statements and examination of reports regarding compliance
with Commission requirements, see generally Rule 17a-5 under the
Exchange Act (17 CFR 240.17a-5) and related SEC rules and forms.
    \6\ Section 104(a)(2)(A) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The Board may allow for differentiation among classes of
brokers and dealers;
     The Board shall consider whether differing inspection
schedules would be appropriate with respect to auditors that issue
audit reports only for brokers or dealers that do not receive, handle,
or hold customer securities or cash or are not members of the
Securities Investor Protection Corporation; and
     If the Board exempts any public accounting firm from such
an inspection program, the auditor would not be required to register
with the Board.
    The Board has filed a proposed rule change to establish a temporary
rule for an interim program of inspection that would allow the Board to
begin inspections of relevant audits and auditors and provide a source
of information to help guide decisions about the scope and elements of
a permanent program. The Board explained that it intended to take a
careful and informed approach in establishing a permanent program that
appropriately protects the public interest and the interests of
investors, including consideration of potential costs and regulatory
burdens that would be imposed on different categories of registered
public accounting firms and classes of brokers and dealers.\7\ The
Board also explained that it did not intend to make the necessary
judgments without first gathering and assessing relevant information,
but that it did not intend to postpone all use of its new inspection
authority until after those judgments were made.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See PCAOB Release No. 2011-01 (Jun. 14, 2011), at 3.
    \8\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The temporary rule provides that the Board will publish a report on
the interim program no less frequently than every twelve months,
beginning twelve months after the date the rule takes effect and
continuing until rules for a permanent program take effect. Each report
will describe the progress of the interim program and any significant
observations that either may bear on the Board's consideration of a
permanent program or the publication of which may otherwise be
appropriate to protect the interests of investors or to further the
public interest.

III. Discussion of Comments

    The Commission received one comment letter on the proposed rule
change.\9\ The commenter, a small registered accounting firm that
performs audits of broker-dealers but not issuers, expressed strong
support for the inclusive scope of the temporary rule and also for the
establishment of a permanent program of inspection that would include
all auditors of broker-dealers.\10\ The commenter supported a program
that would not differentiate among types of brokers and dealers or
exempt certain public accounting firms, noting their view that any such
limitations would not be ``fully protecting the public interest and
interest of investors.'' \11\

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

IV. Conclusion

    After careful review of the proposed rule change, the Commission
finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the securities laws and is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest or for the protection of investors.
    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 107 of the Sarbanes-
Oxley Act and Section 19(b)(2) of the Exchange Act, that the proposed
rule change (File No. PCAOB-2011-01) be and hereby is approved.

    For the Commission, by the Office of the Chief Accountant,
pursuant to delegated authority.\12\
