SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-71773; File No. SR-C2-2014-005]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; C2 Options Exchange, Incorporated;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change
Relating to Certain C2 Real-Time Data Feeds and a New Book Depth Data
Feed

March 24, 2014.
    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 March 11, 2014, C2 Options Exchange, Incorporated (the
``Exchange'' or ``C2'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``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.

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    C2 Options Exchange, Incorporated (the ``Exchange'' or ``C2'')
proposes to (i) update the description of the data included in certain
C2 real-time data feeds and (ii) offer a book depth data feed for C2
listed options. The text of the proposed rule change is available on
the Exchange's Web site (http://www.C2.com/AboutC2/C2LegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), at the Exchange's Office of the Secretary,
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
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to (i) update the
description of the data included in the C2 BBO Data Feed and Complex
Order Book (``COB'') Data Feed, and (ii) offer a book depth data feed
for C2 listed options.
BBO and COB Data Feeds
    The BBO Data Feed is a real-time, low latency data feed that
includes C2 ``BBO data'' and last sale data.\3\ The BBO and last sale
data contained in the BBO Data Feed is identical to the data that C2
sends to the Options Price Reporting Authority (``OPRA'') for
redistribution to the public.\4\ The BBO Data Feed is made available by
C2's affiliate Market Data Express, LLC (``MDX'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The BBO Data Feed includes the ``best bid and offer,'' or
``BBO,'' consisting of all outstanding quotes and standing orders at
the best available price level on each side of the market, with
aggregate size (``BBO data,'' sometimes referred to as ``top-of-book
data''). Data with respect to executed trades is referred to as
``last sale'' data. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 69400
(April 18, 2013), 78 FR 24285 (April 24, 2013).
    \4\ The Exchange notes that MDX makes available to Customers the
BBO data and last sale data that is included in the BBO Data Feed no
earlier than the time at which the Exchange sends that data to OPRA.
A ``Customer'' is any entity that receives the BBO Data Feed, either
directly from MDX's system or through a connection to MDX provided
by an approved redistributor (i.e., a market data vendor or an
extranet service provider) and then distributes it externally or
uses it internally.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The BBO Data Feed also includes certain data that is not included
in the data sent to OPRA, namely, (i) totals of customer versus non-
customer contracts at the BBO, (ii) All-or-None contingency orders
priced better than or equal to the BBO, (iii) BBO data and last sale
data for complex strategies (e.g., spreads, straddles, buy-writes,
etc.), and (iv) expected opening price (``EOP'') and expected opening
size (``EOS'') information that is disseminated prior to the opening of
the market and during trading rotations (collectively, ``EOP/EOS
data'').
    The COB Data Feed is a real-time data feed that includes data
regarding the Exchange's Complex Order Book and related complex order
information. The COB Data Feed includes BBO quotes and identifying
information for all C2-traded complex order strategies, as well as all
executed C2 complex order trades (and identifies whether the trade was
a customer trade or whether a complex order in the COB is a customer
order).\5\ The COB Data Feed is made available by MDX and is a subset
of the BBO Data Feed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 70119 (August 5,
2013), 78 FR 48750 (August 9, 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange, through MDX, plans to make additional data available
in the BBO and COB Data Feeds and therefore proposes to update the
description of the data included in the feeds. Specifically, the
Exchange proposes to add end-of-day (``EOD'') summary messages and
recap messages to the feeds. EOD summary messages are messages that
will be disseminated after the close of a trading session that will
include summary information about trading in C2 listed options. Such
information includes product name, opening price, high and low price
during the trading session and last sale price. Recap messages are
messages that will be disseminated during a trading session any time
there is a change in the open, high, low or last sale price of a C2
listed option. In addition to open, high, low and last sale prices,
such messages will also include product name and total volume traded in
the product during the trading session.
    At this time, the Exchange does not intend to amend the fees for
the BBO and COB Data Feeds.
Book Depth Data Feed
    The Exchange proposes to make available, through MDX, a real-time,
low latency data feed that includes all outstanding quotes and standing
orders up to the first five price levels on each side of the market,
with aggregate size (``Book Depth Data Feed'').\6\ The Book Depth Data
Feed will also include all of the other data contained in the BBO Data
Feed (as described above), including last sale data and BBO and book
depth data for complex strategies.\7\ The data in the Book Depth Data
Feed would be refreshed periodically during the trading session.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The Exchange notes that MDX will make available the BBO and
last sale data that is included in the Book Depth Data Feed no
earlier than the time at which the Exchange sends that data to OPRA.
    \7\ With the introduction of the Book Depth Data Feed, the COB
Data Feed would also be enhanced to include book depth data for
complex strategies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange will file a separate proposed rule change to establish
the fees to be charged by MDX for the Book Depth Data Feed.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular,
the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\8\ Specifically, the
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \9\ requirements that the rules of an exchange be
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
mechanism 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) \10\ requirement that the rules of an exchange not be
designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers,
brokers, or dealers because the enhanced BBO and COB Data Feeds and the
Book Depth Data Feed would be made available by MDX to any market
participant that wishes to subscribe to any of the feeds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \10\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In adopting Regulation NMS, the Commission granted self-regulatory
organizations and broker-dealers increased authority and flexibility to
offer new and unique market data to the public. It was believed that
this authority would expand the amount of data available to consumers,
and also spur innovation and competition for the provision of market
data. The Exchange believes that this proposal is in keeping with those
principles by promoting increased transparency through the
dissemination of useful data and also by clarifying its availability to
market participants. The Exchange believes that updating the
description of the BBO and COB Data Feeds will benefit users by making
clearer what data is included in each feed. The Exchange believes
offering the Book Depth Data Feed will increase transparency, help
attract order flow and provide investors with additional information
that may help to inform their trading decisions.

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

    C2 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 proposal to update the
description of the BBO and COB Data Feeds is intended not to address
any competitive issue but rather to reflect the data that is included
in the feeds. The Exchange notes other exchanges offer depth of market

products similar to the Book Depth Data Feed. For example, BATS offers
Multicast PITCH, which is their depth of market and last sale feed
similar to the Book Depth Data Feed. The International Securities
Exchange offers a data feed that shows the top five price levels
entitled Depth of Market. NASDAQ OMX PHLX offers a Depth of Market data
feed that includes full depth of quotes and orders and last sale data
for options listed on PHLX. NASDAQ Options Market offers a product
entitled ``NASDAQ ITCH-to-Trade Options'' (ITTO) that is similar to the
Book Depth Data Feed. NYSE offers market data products entitled ``NYSE
ArcaBook for Amex Options'' and ``NYSE ArcaBook for Arca Options'' that
include top-of-book, last sale and depth of quote data. In addition,
the OPRA data feed is a significant competitive alternative to both the
BBO Data Feed and the Book Depth Data Feed. The Exchange believes the
enhanced BBO and COB Data Feeds and the Book Depth Data Feed will help
to attract new users and new order flow to the Exchange, thereby
improving the Exchange's ability to compete in the market for options
order flow and executions.

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

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

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 \11\ and
Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \12\ thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day
operative delay so that the proposal may become operative immediately
upon filing. The Exchange has stated that it does not intend to amend
the fees for the BBO and COB Data Feeds, and that the proposed Book
Depth Data Feed mostly includes data already made available by the
Exchange through the BBO Data Feed. The Commission believes that
waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, because such waiver will enable
market participants to receive more market data via the Exchange's new
and existing data feeds at no charge. For this reason, the Commission
hereby waives the 30-day operative delay requirement and designates the
proposed rule change to be operative upon filing.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ For purposes only of waiving the operative delay for this
proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact
on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission will institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change 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:

    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'')\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that

(``Commission'' or ``SEC'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by PCX. On
December 21, 2005, PCX filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule
change. PCX filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder,\4\ which
renders it effective upon filing with the Commission. The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change,
as amended, from interested persons.

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

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

    PCX is proposing to amend its undertaking to extend for 90 days
from the date of this filing the time period by which PCX will amend
the agreement between the National Association of Securities Dealers
(``NASD'') and PCX currently in place pursuant to Rule 17d-2 under the
Act \5\ (the ``NASD PCX Agreement''). As described in more detail
below, the amendment to the NASD PCX Agreement will expand the scope of
the NASD's regulatory responsibility.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 17 CFR 240.17d-2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    In its filing with the Commission, PCX 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. PCX 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 Commission recently approved a proposed rule change in relation
to the acquisition of PCX Holdings, Inc. by Archipelago Holdings, Inc.
(``Archipelago Holdings'').\6\ In its filing with the Commission, PCX
committed to amend the NASD PCX Agreement within 90 days of the
Commission's approval of SR-PCX-2005-90 to expand the scope of the
NASD's regulatory functions under the NASD PCX Agreement so as to
encompass all of the regulatory oversight and enforcement
responsibilities with respect to the broker-dealer affiliate of
Archipelago Holdings, Archipelago Securities, L.L.C. (``Archipelago
Securities'').\7\ The 90-day period expires on December 21, 2005, and
while the PCX and NASD have executed an amended NASD PCX Agreement, the
PCX and NASD have not yet filed the amended NASD PCX Agreement with the
Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 52497 (September 22,
2005); 70 FR 56949 (September 29, 2005) (approving SR-PCX-2005-90 as
amended).
    \7\ Archipelago Securities acts as the outbound order router for
the Archipelago Exchange and, as such, is regulated as an exchange
``facility'' of the PCX and PCXE.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The PCX believes that an extension of time for an additional 90
days from the date of this filing to amend the PCX NASD Agreement will
give the Commission staff sufficient time to publish and take action on
the proposal. There is currently a plan in place (i.e., the NASD PCX
Agreement) allocating to the NASD the responsibility to receive
regulatory reports from Archipelago Securities, to examine Archipelago
Securities for compliance and to enforce compliance by Archipelago
Securities with the Act, the rules and regulations thereunder and the
rules of the NASD, and to carry out other specified regulatory
functions with respect to

Archipelago Securities. The Exchange notes that the current NASD PCX
Agreement will remain in full force and effect during the interim
period and PCX will continue to abide by the terms of the agreement.
Furthermore, the PCX undertakes to file a proposed amendment to the
NASD PCX Amendment with the Commission on or before January 4, 2006.
The PCX believes the requested extension of time is consistent with the
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and will neither
significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest
nor impose any significant burden on competition.
2. Basis
    For the reasons discussed above, the Exchange believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with the Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder and, in particular, the requirements of Section
6(b) of the Act.\8\ Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed
rule change is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) \9\ requirement that
the rules of an exchange be 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.\10\

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \10\ See Amendment No. 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change, as
amended, will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

    Written comments on the proposed rule change 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, as amended, does not:
    (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest;
    (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and
    (iii) become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was
filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has
become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act\11\ and
Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\12\ At any time within 60 days after the
filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily
abrogate the rule change if it appears to the Commission 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    Pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) under the Act, the Exchange is
required 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 Commission has determined to waive
this requirement. The Commission notes that the Exchange did provide
notice of the filing two business days prior to the date of filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    PCX has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay.
The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.
Because the original 90-day time period expires on December 21, 2005,
such waiver will allow the PCX to remain in compliance with its
undertaking to amend the NASD PCX Agreement. The Commission notes that
PCX represents that it has executed, but not yet filed with the
Commission, an amended NASD PCX Agreement with the NASD, and that PCX
has undertaken to file a proposed amendment to the NASD PCX Agreement
on or before January 4, 2006. The Commission further notes that the
NASD PCX Agreement currently in place will remain in full force and
effect during the interim period and PCX will continue to abide by the
terms of the agreement. For these reasons the Commission designates the
proposal to be effective and operative upon filing with the
Commission.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rules impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

change, as amended, is consistent with the Act. Comments may be

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket No. FEMA-2015-0001; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1352]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice; correction.

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

SUMMARY: On December 23, 2013, the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) published in the Federal Register a proposed flood hazard
determination notice that included information for the Town of South
Bethany in the table titled ``Sussex County, Delaware, and Incorporated
Areas''. FEMA is no longer proposing these flood hazard determination
changes for the Town of South Bethany as identified in the above-
referenced publication.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before April 15, 2015.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-
1352, to Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering Management Branch, Federal
Insurance and Mitigation Administration, Federal Emergency Management
Agency, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER> or
(email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER> or (email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations in accordance with Section 110 of the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed flood hazard determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any
time enact stricter requirements of its own, or pursuant to policies
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and are also used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.

Correction

    In the proposed flood hazard determination notice published at 78
FR 77482, in the December 23, 2013, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA
published a table titled ``Sussex County, Delaware, and Incorporated
Areas''. This table included the Town of South Bethany as one of the
communities for which flood hazard changes were being proposed. FEMA is
no longer proposing these flood hazard determination changes for the
Town of South Bethany as identified in the above-referenced
publication.
