    Schedule 13E-4F. SEC File No. 270-340, OMB Control No. 3235-
0375.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget for extension and approval.
    Schedule 13E-4F (17 CFR 240.13e-102) may be used by an issuer that
is incorporated or organized under the laws of Canada to make a cash

40 percent of the class of such issuer's securities outstanding that
are the subject of the tender offer is held by U.S. holders. The
information collected must be filed with the Commission and is publicly
available. We estimate that it takes approximately 2 hours per response
to prepare Schedule 13E-4F and that the information is filed by
approximately 3 respondents for a total annual reporting burden of 6
hours (2 hours per response x 3 responses).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected;
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60
days of this publication.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid control number.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-80328; File No. SR-CBOE-2017-024]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing of a Proposed Rule Change Relating to
Reporting Duties

March 29, 2017.
    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 22, 2017, Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated
(the ``Exchange'' or ``CBOE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') the 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 proposes to amend its Rules to provide guidance on
Trading Permit Holder (``TPH'') reporting duties when certain required
reporting information is unknown. The text of the proposed rule change
is available on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange is proposing to amend Rule 6.51 related to trade (or
``transaction'') reporting to provide guidance on TPH reporting duties
when certain required reporting information is unknown at the time a
TPH systematizes orders pursuant to Rule 6.24 or reports a trade
pursuant to Rule 6.51. The Exchange is also proposing to delete
outdated language in Rule 6.51. Finally, the Exchange is proposing to
amend Rule 6.67 to reference any trade record updates that may occur as
a result of the changes to Rule 6.51.
Background
Rule 6.24
    Pursuant to Rule 6.24, each order, cancellation of, or change to an
order transmitted to the Exchange must be ``systematized'', in a format
approved by the Exchange, either before it is sent to the Exchange or
upon receipt on the floor of the Exchange. An order is systematized if
an order is sent electronically to the Exchange; or if an order sent to
the Exchange non-electronically, is input electronically into the
Exchange's systems contemporaneously upon receipt on the Exchange, and
prior to representation of an order. With respect to non-electronic,
market and marketable orders sent to the Exchange, the TPH responsible
for systematizing the order is required to input into the Exchange's
systems at least the following specific information with respect to the
order prior to representation of the order: (1) The option symbol; (2)
the expiration month; (3) the expiration year; (4) the strike price;
(5) buy or sell; (6) call or put; (7) the number of contracts; and (8)
the Clearing Trading Permit Holder. Rule 6.24 further provides that any
additional information with respect to the order shall be input into
the Exchange's systems contemporaneously upon receipt, which may occur
after the representation and execution of the order.
Rule 6.51
    In addition to the order reporting requirements of Rule 6.24, the
Exchange requires trades to be reported after execution. Pursuant to
Rule 6.51(a), ``[a] participant in each transaction, to be designated
by the Exchange, must report or ensure the transaction is reported to
the Exchange within 90 seconds of the execution in a form and manner
prescribed by the Exchange so that trade information may be reported to
time and sales reports'' (or what is often referred to as ``the
tape''). Pursuant to Rule 6.51(b), a TPH is also required to report
trades, as promptly as possible, to the TPH for whom such transaction
was made and/or the TPH that will clear such a transaction in a form
and manner prescribed by the exchange. Rule 6.51.01 establishes
procedures for reporting trades pursuant to Rule 6.51(a) and (b). The
procedures include the submission of an account origin code for any
agency record to be included in the transaction record. Typical origin
codes include customer (C), broker-dealer (B) and market-maker (M).
    Pursuant to Rule 6.51(d), the Exchange outlines certain trade
information that must be reported to the Exchange in order for the
Exchange to properly match and clear trades. The trade information
required in Rule 6.51(d) includes the submission of whether the
transaction was an opening or closing transaction (hereinafter referred
to as ``opening or closing status''). Rule 6.51.03, establishes
procedures for reporting trades pursuant to Rule 6.51(d). Rule 6.51.03
states, in part, ``For trades not executed on an electronic data
storage medium, or electronic system, trade information shall be
immediately recorded on a card or ticket and submitted as soon as
reasonably possible, but not later than the maximum time period stated
in Rule 2.30.''
Rule 6.67
    Rule 6.67 is related to the CBOE Trade Match System (``CTM'') and
specifies certain information on trade records that may be updated. The
Rule states, in part, ``The CBOE Trade Match System (``CTM'') is a
system in which authorized Trading Permit Holders may add and/or update
trade records. CTM may be used to enter and report transactions that
have been effected on the Exchange in accordance with the Exchange's
rules or to correct certain bona fide errors.''
    Among the fields that can be changed by a TPH pursuant to Rule
6.67, are (1) opening or closing status and (2) the account origin code
(subject to Exchange notification if the TPH is changing the origin
code from customer (C) to any other origin code).
Operational Requirements Related to Rule 6.24 and 6.51
    As noted above, Rule 6.24 provides that any additional information
with respect to the order shall be input into the Exchange's systems
contemporaneously upon receipt, which may occur after the
representation and execution of the order. The Exchange, at an
operational-level, currently requires certain data fields that must be
entered into an Exchange-approved system before an order can be
represented on the Exchange's trading floor. Those data fields include,
not only those required by Rule 6.24, but also certain fields required
by Rule 6.51 for trade reporting purposes and additional information,
not related to Rule 6.24 or 6.51 that may be used to process an order.
Though not required by Rule 6.24, those data fields the Exchange
operationally requires of TPHs, at the time of systemization, include
(1) account origin code, (2) opening or closing status and (3) time-in-
force (i.e. an indication of how long an order will remain active
before it is executed or expires).\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Time-in-force is not rule required order or transaction
information but it is a data field that can be adjusted via CTM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposed Changes
Rule 6.51
    The Exchange is proposing to add Interpretation and Policy .04 to
Rule 6.51. The proposed Rule 6.51.04 will specify what TPHs may enter
in the event account origin code, opening or closing status, or time-
in-force is not known at the time a TPH systematizes an order or
reports a trade. In the event the information entered needs to be
changed, the proposed rule specifies that it will be done via the CBOE
Trade Match System (``CTM''). Proposed Rule 6.51.04 states:
    If a Trading Permit Holder has no knowledge of the account origin
code, opening or closing status or time-in-force of an order when the
Trading Permit Holder systematizes the order pursuant to Rule 6.24 or
reports a trade pursuant to Rule 6.51, as applicable, the Trading
Permit Holder may use the following values when systematizing the order
through an Exchange-approved device or reporting a transaction,
respectively: (a) Either open or close, in the Trading Permit Holder's
discretion (for opening or closing status); (b) broker-dealer (for
account origin code); and (c) day (for time-in-force). The Trading
Permit Holder may change any of these initial values via CTM, and must
maintain records of any changes, pursuant to Rule 6.67.

    Pursuant to Rule 4.22, it remains the responsibility of the Trading
Permit Holder to provide accurate trade information necessary for the
reporting of a trade to time and sales reports or to allow the Exchange
to properly match and clear trades. Any actions taken by the Exchange
pursuant to this Interpretation and Policy .04 do not constitute a
determination by the Exchange that an order was systematized or a trade
was effected in conformity with the requirements of the Rules. Nothing
in this Rule is intended to define or limit the ability of the Exchange
to sanction or take other remedial action pursuant to other Rules for
rule violations or other activity for which remedial measures may be
imposed.
    In addition to proposed Rule 6.51.04, the Exchange is eliminating
outdated language in Rule 6.51.03 referencing Rule 2.30. Rule 2.30 was
deleted in 2005.\4\

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

Rule 6.67
    The Exchange is also proposing changes to Rule 6.67 to reference
that transaction records may be updated via CTM pursuant to proposed
Rule 6.51.04.
Analysis
    As stated in proposed Rule 6.51.04, it will remain the
responsibility of the Trading Permit Holder to provide accurate trade
information necessary for the reporting of a trade to the Clearing
Corporation. Any changes to be made to account origin code, opening or
closing status, or time-in-force will have to be entered via post trade
adjustment in CTM in accordance with Rule 6.67. The Exchange is not
changing any current requirement of Rule 6.24, 6.51, or any of the
transaction reporting procedures outlined therein (other than the
aforementioned removal of outdated language). The purpose of the
proposed rule change is only to specify what may be done in the event
account origin code, opening or closing status, or time-in-force is not
known at the time an order is systematized or a transaction is
reported. The additional guidance is necessary due to the fact that
operationally, account origin code, opening or closing status, or time-
in-force cannot be left blank when an order is systematized pursuant to
Rule 6.24 or a transaction is reported pursuant to Rule 6.51.
Furthermore, the Exchange has always allowed post-trade updates to
transaction records via CTM or otherwise. The proposed rule change will
have no effect on how transaction records are updated or maintained.
    Neither the Exchange's audit trail nor its ability to properly
match and clear trades will be adversely effected. Furthermore, account
origin code, opening or closing status and time-in-force do not appear
on time and sales reports, so any near real-time transaction
information publically disseminated by the Exchange will not be
effected. Finally, because order information related to account origin
code will be defaulted to broker-dealer, orders entered pursuant to
proposed Rule 6.51.04 will not be afforded any undue priority over any
other resting order pursuant to Rule 6.45, Rule 6.45A or 6.45B.
    In connection with this filing, the Exchange reviewed December 2016
order data from the Exchange floor. Of the 48,599 orders that traded on
the exchange floor in December 2016, the Exchange noted that 17 (.03%)
appeared to have had the origin code changed post-trade. Accordingly,
the Exchange believes that it is rare today for an order to change from
broker-dealer to customer. Furthermore, the Exchange believes that most
Exchange brokers know when an order they handling is for a customer and
they mark it accordingly. Finally, the Exchange notes that customers
are able to choose their brokers and to the extent any customer feels
that it did not get a good order fill as the result of a broker's
actions, including the origin-code marking of an order, such customer
may have recourse through their broker.
    The proposed Rule also states that TPHs remain responsible for
reporting accurate trade information and that any actions taken by the
Exchange pursuant to Rule 6.51.04 do not constitute a determination
that an order was otherwise systematized or reported in accordance with
the Rules. For example, CBOE's action to allow TPHs to initially enter
default values and make a later change via CTM, as necessary, should
not be construed as a determination by the Exchange that the associated
order or any resulting transaction proposed is in conformity with
Exchange Rules. The proposed rule is not intended to be a form of
regulatory relief and specifically notes it will not define or limit
the Exchange's ability to sanction TPH for violations of Exchange
rules.
    The Exchange is basing this rule change on order entry requirements
already in place on the NYSE Amex Options Floor (``NYSE Amex'').
Pursuant to a Regulatory Floor Bulletin issued in 2013, NYSE Amex
allows ``default values'' to be used for account origin code, opening
or closing status and time-in-force when entering an order.\5\ While
the NYSE Amex has used close as a default value for opening or closing
status, the proposed rule use of either open or close, in the Trading
Permit Holder's discretion. This alternative is used because some
Exchange TPHs prefer to use the close default value that is also used
on the AMEX Floor (where some TPHs are also a member or participant),
while other TPHs prefer to use the open default value because their
order entry systems are programed to reject opening orders that violate
Exchange Rules.

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

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.\6\ Specifically, the
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \7\ 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) \8\ requirement that the rules of an exchange not be
designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers,
brokers, or dealers.

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

    In particular, the Exchange believes that giving TPHs clarity on
how account origin code, opening or closing status, or time-in-force
should be entered at the time orders are systematized or trades are
reported (and in the event that information is unknown) will help
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market in that it will allow for faster and more efficient processing
of orders for both TPHs and their customers. The Exchange has always
allowed updates to trade records, and any record updates that occur as
a result of the proposed rule will not have a negative impact on the
Exchange's audit trail or the near

real-time trade information disseminated publically.
    In addition, the Exchange believes the proposed rule is designed to
foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating,
clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities. The proposed Rule states that
TPHs remain responsible for reporting accurate trade information and
that any actions taken by the Exchange pursuant to Rule 6.51.04 do not
constitute a determination that an order was otherwise systematized or
reported in accordance with the Rules. The proposed rule is not
intended to be a form of regulatory relief and specifically notes it
will not define or limit the Exchange's ability to sanction TPHs for
violations of Exchange rules. The Exchange itself does not set any of
the default values outlined in the proposed rule and the entry of order
information remains the responsibility of TPHs. The Exchange monitors
and surveils TPHs to ensure compliance with Exchange Rules, including
Rule 6.51.

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

    CBOE 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 proposed rule change will
not have any impact on intramarket competition as it applies equally to
all TPH who are currently subject to requirements of Rule 6.51.
Additionally, the propose rule change outlines a voluntary method of
handling orders and will not subject any individual TPH to additional
burden.
    Furthermore, the proposed rule is meant to ensure Exchange TPH's
are able to handle and process orders in the same manner as members or
participants of the NYSE Amex. As such, the proposed rule change will
promote intermarket competition.

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 \9\ and
Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \10\ 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 will institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
