SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-95775; File No. SR-PEARL-2022-35]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; MIAX PEARL, LLC; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To Amend the MIAX
PEARL Options Fee Schedule To Remove Certain Credits

September 14, 2022.
    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
on September 1, 2022, MIAX PEARL, LLC (``MIAX Pearl'' or ``Exchange'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') a
proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III, 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 is filing a proposal to amend the MIAX Pearl Options
Fee Schedule (the ``Fee Schedule'') to remove two monthly credits
associated with Trading Permit \3\ and non-transaction fees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The term ``Trading Permit'' means a permit issued by the
Exchange that confers the ability to transact on the Exchange. See
Exchange Rule 100.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at http://www.miaxoptions.com/rule-filings/pearl at MIAX
Pearl's 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 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 Exchange commenced operations in February 2017 \4\ and adopted
its initial fee schedule that waived fees for Trading Permits to trade
on the Exchange.\5\ In 2018, as the Exchange's market share
increased,\6\ the Exchange adopted a nominal fee for Trading Permits
along with a tiered-volume based fee credit, known as the Trading
Permit Fee Credit, and a Monthly Volume Credit.\7\ The Exchange
established the Trading Permit Fee Credit to continue to attract order
flow and increase membership by lowering the costs for Members.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See MIAX PEARL Successfully Launches Trading Operations,
dated February 6, 2017, available at https://www.miaxoptions.com/sites/default/files/alert-files/MIAX_Press_Release_02062017.pdf.
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80061 (February 17,
2017), 82 FR 11676 (February 24, 2017) (SR-PEARL-2017-10).
    \6\ The Exchange experienced a monthly average trading volume of
3.94% for the month of March 2018. See Market at a Glance, available
at www.miaxoptions.com (last visited (August 29, 2022).
    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 82867 (March 13,
2018), 83 FR 12044 (March 19, 2018) (SR-PEARL-2018-07).
    \8\ The term ``Member'' means an individual or organization that
is registered with the Exchange pursuant to Chapter II of Exchange
Rules for purposes of trading on the Exchange as an ``Electronic
Exchange Member'' or ``Market Maker.'' Members are deemed
``members'' under the Exchange Act. See Exchange Rule 100 and the
Definitions Section of the Fee Schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the Trading Permit Fee Credit and
Monthly Volume Credit have served their purpose of incentivizing market
participants to trade on the Exchange as the Exchange's market share
continues to grow and increase since the credits were established.\9\
Therefore, the Exchange now proposes to remove the two monthly credits
associated with Trading Permit and non-transaction fees from the Fee
Schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The Exchange experienced a monthly average trading volume of
4.75% for the month of August 2022 (as of August 29, 2022). See
Market at a Glance, supra note 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Monthly Volume Credit
    The Exchange proposes to amend the Definitions section of the Fee
Schedule to delete the definition and remove the credits applicable to
the Monthly Volume Credit for Members. The Exchange established the
Monthly Volume Credit in 2018 \10\ to encourage Members to send
increased Priority Customer \11\ order flow to the Exchange, which the
Exchange applied as a metric to the assessment of non-transaction fees
for that Member. During the period when the Monthly Volume Credit was
in effect (as further described below), the Exchange applied a
different Monthly Volume Credit depending on whether the Member
connected to the Exchange via the FIX Interface \12\ or MEO
Interface.\13\ During the period when the Monthly Volume Credit was in
effect, the Exchange assessed the Monthly Volume Credit to each Member
that had executed Priority Customer volume along with that of its
affiliates,\14\ not including Excluded Contracts,\15\ of at least 0.30%
of MIAX Pearl-listed Total Consolidated Volume (``TCV''),\16\ as set
forth in the following table:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See supra note 7.
    \11\ 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 accounts(s). The
number of orders shall be counted in accordance with Interpretation
and Policy .01 of Exchange Rule 100. See the Definitions Section of
the Fee Schedule and Exchange Rule 100, including Interpretation and
Policy .01.
    \12\ The term ``FIX Interface'' means the Financial Information
Exchange interface for certain order types as set forth in Exchange
Rule 516. See the Definitions Section of the Fee Schedule and
Exchange Rule 100.
    \13\ The term ``MEO Interface'' or ``MEO'' means a binary order
interface for certain order types as set forth in Rule 516 into the
MIAX Pearl System. See the Definitions Section of the Fee Schedule
and Exchange Rule 100.
    \14\ ``Affiliate'' means (i) an affiliate of a Member of at
least 75% common ownership between the firms as reflected on each
firm's Form BD, Schedule A, or (ii) the Appointed Market Maker of an
Appointed EEM (or, conversely, the Appointed EEM of an Appointed
Market Maker). An ``Appointed Market Maker'' is a MIAX Pearl Market
Maker (who does not otherwise have a corporate affiliation based
upon common ownership with an EEM) that has been appointed by an EEM
and an ``Appointed EEM'' is an EEM (who does not otherwise have a
corporate affiliation based upon common ownership with a MIAX Pearl
Market Maker) that has been appointed by a MIAX Pearl Market Maker,
pursuant to the following process. A MIAX Pearl Market Maker
appoints an EEM and an EEM appoints a MIAX Pearl Market Maker, for
the purposes of the Fee Schedule, by each completing and sending an
executed Volume Aggregation Request Form by email to
[email protected] no later than 2 business days prior to
the first business day of the month in which the designation is to
become effective. Transmittal of a validly completed and executed
form to the Exchange along with the Exchange's acknowledgement of
the effective designation to each of the Market Maker and EEM will
be viewed as acceptance of the appointment. The Exchange will only
recognize one designation per Member. A Member may make a
designation not more than once every 12 months (from the date of its
most recent designation), which designation shall remain in effect
unless or until the Exchange receives written notice submitted 2
business days prior to the first business day of the month from
either Member indicating that the appointment has been terminated.
Designations will become operative on the first business day of the
effective month and may not be terminated prior to the end of the
month. Execution data and reports will be provided to both parties.
See the Definitions Section of the Fee Schedule.
    \15\ ``Excluded Contracts'' means any contracts routed to an
away market for execution. See the Definitions Section of the Fee
Schedule.
    \16\ ``TCV'' means total consolidated volume calculated as the
total national volume in those classes listed on MIAX Pearl for the
month for which the fees apply, excluding consolidated volume
executed during the period of time in which the Exchange experiences
an Exchange System Disruption (solely in the option classes of the
affected Matching Engine). See the Definitions Section of the Fee
Schedule.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                 Monthly
                   Type of member connection                     volume
                                                                 credit
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Member that connects via the FIX Interface....................      $250
Member that connects via the MEO Interface....................     1,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If a Member connected via both the MEO Interface and FIX Interface
and qualified for the Monthly Volume Credit based upon its Priority
Customer volume, the greater Monthly Volume Credit would apply to such
Member. During the periods when the Monthly Volume Credit was in
effect, the Monthly Volume Credit was a single, once-per-month credit
towards the aggregate monthly total of non-transaction fees assessable
to a Member.
    The Exchange proposes to amend the Definitions section of the Fee
Schedule to delete the definition and remove the Monthly Volume Credit.
The Exchange established the Monthly Volume Credit when it first
launched operations to encourage Members to increase their order flow
by providing a credit to those that exceeded a volume threshold. The
Exchange believes that the Exchange's existing Priority Customer
rebates and fees will continue to allow the Exchange to remain highly
competitive and continue to attract order flow and maintain market
share even without the Monthly Volume Credit.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ See, generally, Fee Schedule, Section (1)(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trading Permit Fee Credit
    The Exchange proposes to amend Section (3)(b) of the Fee Schedule
to remove the Trading Permit fee credit that is denoted in footnote
``*'' below the Trading Permit fee table. During periods when the
Trading Permit fee credit was in effect, the Trading Permit fee credit
was applicable to Members that connected via both the MEO and FIX
Interfaces. Members who connected via both the MEO and FIX Interfaces
were assessed the rates for both types of Trading Permits, but these
Members received a $100 monthly credit towards

the Trading Permit fees applicable to the MEO Interface. The Exchange
proposes to remove the Trading Permit fee credit and delete footnote
``*'' from Section (3)(b) of the Fee Schedule.
    The Exchange established the Trading Permit fee credit when it
first launched operations to attract order flow and increase membership
by lowering the costs for Members that connect via the MEO Interface
and FIX Interface. The Exchange believes the Trading Permit fee credit
has achieved its purpose and the Exchange believes that it is
appropriate to remove this credit in light of the current operating
conditions and membership population on the Exchange.
Implementation and Procedural History
    The proposed rule change will be immediately effective. The
Exchange initially filed this proposal to remove the two monthly
credits associated with Trading Permit and non-transaction fees on July
1, 2021, with the proposed fees being immediately effective.\18\ In
that proposal, the Exchange also proposed to increase its Trading
Permit fees. Between August 2021 and August 2022, the Exchange withdrew
and refiled the proposed rule change, each time to meaningfully attempt
to provide additional justification for the proposed fee changes,
provide enhanced details regarding the Exchange's cost methodology or
to supplement its competition based arguments.\19\ The Commission
received three comment letters from one commenter on the various
filings.\20\ The Exchange withdrew its latest proposal and submits this
proposal to only remove the two monthly credits associated with Trading
Permit and non-transaction fees. The Exchange does not propose to amend
its Trading Permit fees in this filing.

    \20\ See Letters from Richard J. McDonald, Susquehanna
International Group, LLC (``SIG''), to Vanessa Countryman,
Secretary, Commission, dated September 28, 2021, March 15, 2022, and
May 9, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed changes will be effective beginning September 1, 2022.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to amend the Fee Schedule
is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act \21\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \22\ in
particular, in that it is an equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees and other charges among its members and issuers and other persons
using its facilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The proposed changes to the Fee Schedule are reasonable in several
respects. As a threshold matter, the Exchange is subject to significant
competitive forces in the market for order flow, which constrains its
pricing determinations. The fact that the market for order flow is
competitive has long been recognized by the courts. In NetCoalition v.
Securities and Exchange Commission, the D.C. Circuit stated, ``[n]o one
disputes that competition for order flow is `fierce.' . . . As the SEC
explained, `[i]n the U.S. national market system, buyers and sellers of
securities, and the broker-dealers that act as their order-routing
agents, have a wide range of choices of where to route orders for
execution'; [and] `no exchange can afford to take its market share
percentages for granted' because `no exchange possesses a monopoly,
regulatory or otherwise, in the execution of order flow from broker
dealers'. . . .'' \23\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ See NetCoalition, 615 F.3d at 539 (D.C. Cir. 2010) (quoting
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59039 (December 2, 2008), 73 FR
74770, 74782-83 (December 9, 2008) (SR-NYSEArca-2006-21)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission and the courts have repeatedly expressed their
preference for competition over regulatory intervention to determine
prices, products, and services in the securities markets. In Regulation
NMS, while adopting a series of steps to improve the current market
model, the Commission highlighted the importance of market forces in
determining prices and SRO revenues, and also recognized that current
regulation of the market system ``has been remarkably successful in
promoting market competition in its broader forms that are most
important to investors and listed companies.'' \24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 51808 (June 9,
2005), 70 FR 37496, 37499 (June 29, 2005) (``Regulation NMS Adopting
Release'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes its proposal to remove the Monthly Volume
Credit is reasonable, equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because
all market participants will no longer be offered the ability to
achieve the extra credits associated with the Monthly Volume Credit for
submitting Priority Customer volume to the Exchange and access to the
Exchange is offered on terms that are not unfairly discriminatory. The
Exchange believes it is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory to
remove the Monthly Volume Credit from the Fee Schedule for business and
competitive reasons. The Exchange established the Monthly Volume Credit
when it first launched operations to encourage Members to increase
their order flow by providing a credit to those that exceeded a volume
threshold. The Exchange believes that the Exchange's existing Priority
Customer rebates and fees will continue to allow the Exchange to remain
highly competitive and continue to attract order flow and maintain
market share even without the Monthly Volume Credit.\25\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ See Fee Schedule, Section (1)(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes its proposal to remove the Trading Permit fee
credit for Members that connect via both the MEO Interface and FIX
Interface is reasonable, equitable and not unfairly discriminatory
because all market participants will no longer be offered the ability
to receive the credit and access to the Exchange is offered on terms
that are not unfairly discriminatory. The Exchange believes it is
equitable and not unfairly discriminatory to remove the Trading Permit
fee credit for business and competitive reasons. The Exchange
established the Trading Permit fee credit to lower the costs for
Members that connect via the MEO Interface and/or FIX Interface as a
means to attract order flow and memberships after the Exchange first
launched operations. The Exchange now believes that it is appropriate
to remove this credit in light of the current operating conditions and
membership on the Exchange.

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

    In accordance with Section 6(b)(8) of the Act,\26\ the Exchange
believes that the proposed rule change would not impose any burden on
intermarket or intramarket competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \26\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Intra-Market Competition
    The Exchange believes the removal of the Monthly Volume Credit and
Trading Permit fee credit will not place certain market participants at
a relative disadvantage to other market participants because, in order
to attract order flow when the Exchange first launched operations, the
Exchange established these credits to lower the

initial fixed cost for Members. The Exchange now believes that it is
appropriate to remove these credits in light of the current operating
conditions, including the Exchange's overall membership and the current
type and amount of volume executed on the Exchange. The Exchange
believes that the Exchange's current rebates and fees will still allow
the Exchange to remain highly competitive such that the Exchange should
continue to attract order flow and maintain market share.
Inter-Market Competition
    The Exchange operates in a highly competitive market in which
market participants can readily favor one of the 15 competing options
venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be excessive.
Based on publicly-available information, and excluding index-based
options, no single exchange has more than approximately 16% market
share. Therefore, no exchange possesses significant pricing power
regarding memberships or in the execution of multiply-listed equity and
exchange-traded fund (``ETF'') options order flow. Over the course of
2021 and 2022, the Exchange's market share has fluctuated between
approximately 3-6% of the U.S. equity options industry.\27\ The
Exchange is not aware of any evidence that a market share of
approximately 3-6% provides the Exchange with anti-competitive pricing
power when it comes to competition for memberships. The Exchange
believes that the ever-shifting market share among exchanges from month
to month demonstrates that market participants can discontinue
memberships in response to fee changes. In such an environment, the
Exchange must continually adjust its fees to remain competitive with
other exchanges and to attract and retain memberships on the Exchange.
Lastly, the proposed fee change will not impact intermarket competition
because it will apply to all Members equally.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act,\28\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) \29\ thereunder.
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.
