A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
Phlx proposes to amend its Pricing Schedule at Options 7, Section
4, ``Multiply Listed Options Fees (Includes options overlying equities,
ETFs, ETNs and indexes which are Multiply Listed) (Excludes SPY and
broad-based index options symbols listed within Options 7, Section
5.A).'' Specifically, Phlx proposes to amend its Qualified Contingent
Cross (``QCC'') Rebates in Section A, and remove the expired QCC Growth
Tier Rebate in Section B of Options 7, Section 4.
Today, the Exchange assesses a $.20 per contract QCC Transaction
Fee for a Lead Market Maker,\4\ Market Maker,\5\ Firm \6\ and Broker-
Dealer.\7\ Customers \8\ and Professionals \9\ are not assessed a QCC
Transaction Fee. QCC Transaction Fees apply to electronic QCC Orders
\10\ and Floor QCC Orders.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ The term ``Lead Market Maker'' applies to transactions for
the account of a Lead Market Maker (as defined in Options 2, Section
12(a)). A Lead Market Maker is an Exchange member who is registered
as an options Lead Market Maker pursuant to Options 2, Section
12(a). An options Lead Market Maker includes a Remote Lead Market
Maker which is defined as an options Lead Market Maker in one or
more classes that does not have a physical presence on an Exchange
floor and is approved by the Exchange pursuant to Options 2, Section
11. See Options 7, Section 1(c). The term ``Floor Lead Market
Maker'' is a member who is registered as an options Lead Market
Maker pursuant to Options 2, Section 12(a) and has a physical
presence on the Exchange's trading floor. See Options 8, Section
2(a)(3).
\5\ The term ``Market Maker'' is defined in Options 1, Section
1(b)(28) as a member of the Exchange who is registered as an options
Market Maker pursuant to Options 2, Section 12(a). A Market Maker
includes SQTs and RSQTs as well as Floor Market Makers. See Options
7, Section 1(c). The term ``Floor Market Maker'' is a Market Maker
who is neither an SQT or an RSQT. A Floor Market Maker may provide a
quote in open outcry. See Options 8, Section 2(a)(4).
\6\ The term ``Firm'' applies to any transaction that is
identified by a member or member organization for clearing in the
Firm range at The Options Clearing Corporation. See Options 7,
Section 1(c).
\7\ The term ``Broker-Dealer'' applies to any transaction which
is not subject to any of the other transaction fees applicable
within a particular category. See Options 7, Section 1(c).
\8\ The term ``Customer'' applies to any transaction that is
identified by a member or member organization for clearing in the
Customer range at The Options Clearing Corporation (``OCC'') which
is not for the account of a broker or dealer or for the account of a
``Professional'' (as that term is defined in Options 1, Section
1(b)(45)). See Options 7, Section 1(c).
\9\ The term ``Professional'' applies to transactions for the
accounts of Professionals, as defined in Options 1, Section 1(b)(45)
means any person or entity that (i) is not a broker or dealer in
securities, and (ii) places more than 390 orders in listed options
per day on average during a calendar month for its own beneficial
account(s). See Options 7, Section 1(c).
\10\ Electronic QCC Orders are described in Options 3, Section
12.
\11\ Floor QCC Orders are described in Options 8, Section 30(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part A: QCC Rebates
Today, in Part A of Options 7, Section 4, the Exchange describes
several QCC Rebates. Today, the Exchange pays a QCC Rebate of $0.12 per
contract on electronic QCC Orders, as defined in Options 3, Section 12,
and Floor QCC Orders, as defined in Options 8, Section 30(e), when a
QCC Order is comprised of a Customer or Professional order on one side
and a Lead Market Maker, Market Maker, Broker-Dealer, or Firm order on
the other side. Today, the Exchange also pays a rebate of $0.17 per
contract in the event that a member or member organization executes
greater than 1,000,000 qualifying QCC contracts in a given month.
Additionally, today, the Exchange pays a QCC Rebate of $0.14 per
contract on electronic QCC Orders, as defined in Options 3, Section 12,
and Floor QCC Orders, as defined in Options 8, Section 30(e), when a
QCC Order is comprised of a Lead Market Maker, Market Maker, Broker-
Dealer, or Firm order on one side and a Lead Market Maker, Market
Maker, Broker-Dealer, or Firm order on the other side. Today, the
Exchange pays a rebate to $0.19 per contract in the event that a member
or member organization executes greater than 1,000,000 qualifying QCC
contracts in a given month.
Today, these QCC rebates are paid on all qualifying executed
electronic QCC Orders, as defined in Options 3, Section 12, and Floor
QCC Orders, as defined in Options 8, Section 30(e), except where the
transaction is either: (i) Customer-to-Customer; (ii) Customer-to-
Professional; (iii) Professional-to-Professional or (iv) a dividend,
merger, short stock interest, reversal and conversion, jelly roll, and
box spread strategy executions (as defined in Options 7, Section 4).
Further, today, volume resulting from all executed electronic QCC
Orders and Floor QCC Orders, including Customer-to-Customer, Customer-
to-Professional, and Professional-to-Professional transactions and
excluding dividend, merger, short stock interest or reversal or
conversion strategy executions, is aggregated in determining the
applicable member or member organization qualifying QCC contract volume
in a given month. Finally, today, members and member organizations are
entitled to one QCC Rebate in a given month, which would be the greater
of the QCC Rebate in Section A or the QCC Growth Tier Rebate in Section
B in a given month, but not both.
Proposal
At this time, the Exchange proposes to offer two QCC Rebates in
addition to the current QCC Rebates described above. The Exchange
proposes to pay a rebate of $0.22 per contract, when a QCC Order is
comprised of a Customer or Professional order on one side and a Lead
Market Maker, Market Maker, Broker-Dealer, or Firm order on the other
side, in the event that a member or member organization executes (1)
greater than 1,000,000 qualifying QCC contracts in a given month; (2)
Floor Originated Strategy \12\ Executions in excess of 3,500,000
contracts in a given month; and (3) at least 40% of the member or
member organization's QCC executed contracts in that month are
comprised of a Lead Market Maker, Market Maker, Broker-Dealer, or Firm
order on one side and Lead Market Maker, Market Maker, Broker-Dealer,
or Firm order on the other side.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ Floor Originated Strategy Executions are defined as a
dividend, merger, short stock interest, reversal and conversion,
jelly roll or box spread strategy as described in Options 7, Section
4. The Exchange proposes to add this defined term in the Pricing
Schedule at Part A of Options 7, Section 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additionally, the Exchange proposes to pay a rebate of $0.27 per
contract, when a QCC Order is comprised of a Lead Market Maker, Market
Maker, Broker-Dealer, or Firm order on one side and a Lead Market
Maker, Market Maker, Broker-Dealer, or Firm order on
[[Page 56677]]
the other side, in the event that a member or member organization
executes: (1) greater than 1,000,000 qualifying QCC contracts in a
given month; (2) Floor Originated Strategy Executions in excess of
3,500,000 contracts in a given month and (3) at least 40% of the member
or member organization's QCC executed contracts in that month are
comprised of a Lead Market Maker, Market Maker, Broker-Dealer, or Firm
order on one side and Lead Market Maker, Market Maker, Broker-Dealer,
or Firm order on the other side.
Additionally, the Exchange would continue to pay QCC Rebates on all
qualifying executed electronic QCC Orders, as defined in Options 3,
Section 12, and Floor QCC Orders, as defined in Options 8, Section
30(e), except where the transaction is either: (i) Customer-to-
Customer; (ii) Customer-to-Professional; (iii) Professional-to-
Professional; or (iv) a dividend, merger, short stock interest,
reversal and conversion, jelly roll, and box spread strategy executions
(as defined in Options 7, Section 4). Also, the Exchange would continue
to aggregate volume resulting from all executed electronic QCC Orders
and Floor QCC Orders, including Customer-to-Customer, Customer-to-
Professional, and Professional-to-Professional transactions and
excluding dividend, merger, short stock interest, reversal and
conversion, jelly roll, and box spread strategy executions, in
determining the applicable member or member organization qualifying QCC
contract volume in a given month.
Finally, the Exchange currently only permits member and member
organizations to receive either the QCC Rebate in Section A or the QCC
Growth Tier Rebate in Section B in a given month, but not both. The
Exchange is removing this rule text from the Pricing Schedule because
the QCC Growth Tier Rebate pricing was only available until July 31,
2023 as explained further below. The Exchange also proposes to remove
the Part ``A'' reference as there is no longer a Part B.
The Exchange believes that the proposed QCC Rebates in Part A will
encourage Phlx members and member organizations to transact a greater
number of QCC Orders on the Exchange.
Part B: QCC Growth Tier Rebate
The Exchange offered a QCC Growth Tier Rebate \13\ to encourage
Phlx members and member organizations to transact a greater number of
QCC Orders on Phlx. The QCC Growth Tier Rebate expired on July 31,
2023. The Exchange proposes to remove the pricing from the Pricing
Schedule at this time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ The QCC Growth Tier Rebate permitted Phlx members and
member organizations to qualify for certain rebates by executing a
certain amount of floor transactions, electronic QCC Orders and
Floor QCC Orders volume in excess of the member's or member
organization's QCC transaction volume in January 2023. The Exchange
also offered an alternative qualification to achieve the QCC Growth
Tier Rebate by executing transactions in open outcry along with QCC
volume.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\14\ in general, and furthers the objectives of
Sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,\15\ in particular, in that it
provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and
other charges among members and issuers and other persons using any
facility, and is not designed to permit unfair discrimination between
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Commission and the courts have repeatedly expressed their
preference for competition over regulatory intervention in determining
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.'' \16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 51808 (June 9, 2005),
70 FR 37496, 37499 (June 29, 2005) (``Regulation NMS Adopting
Release'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Likewise, in NetCoalition v. Securities and Exchange Commission
\17\ (``NetCoalition'') the D.C. Circuit upheld the Commission's use of
a market-based approach in evaluating the fairness of market data fees
against a challenge claiming that Congress mandated a cost-based
approach.\18\ As the court emphasized, the Commission ``intended in
Regulation NMS that `market forces, rather than regulatory
requirements' play a role in determining the market data . . . to be
made available to investors and at what cost.'' \19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Further, ``[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'. . . .'' \20\ Although the court and
the SEC were discussing the cash equities markets, the Exchange
believes that these views apply with equal force to the options
markets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\20\ Id. at 539 (quoting Securities Exchange Act Release No.
59039 (December 2, 2008), 73 FR 74770, 74782-83 (December 9, 2008)
(SR-NYSEArca-2006-21)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Exchange's proposal to offer two new QCC Rebates in Section A
of Options 7, Section 4,\21\ in addition to the current QCC Rebates, is
reasonable because the proposed QCC Rebates will encourage Phlx members
and member organizations to transact a greater number of qualifying QCC
contracts and Floor Originated Strategy Executions on Phlx. The
proposal would pay a new rebate of $0.22 per contract, when a QCC Order
is comprised of a Customer or Professional order on one side and a Lead
Market Maker, Market Maker, Broker-Dealer, or Firm order on the other
side, and the proposal would pay a new higher rebate of $0.27 per
contract, when the QCC Order is comprised of a Lead Market Maker,
Market Maker, Broker-Dealer, or Firm order on one side and a Lead
Market Maker, Market Maker, Broker-Dealer, or Firm order on the other
side. The Exchange believes that the higher rebate of $0.27 per
contract, when the QCC Order is comprised of a Lead Market Maker,
Market Maker, Broker-Dealer, or Firm order on one side and a Lead
Market Maker, Market Maker, Broker-Dealer, or Firm order on the other
side, is reasonable because the Exchange assesses a QCC Transaction Fee
of $0.20 per contract on Lead Market Makers, Market Makers, Firms and
Broker- Dealers and does not assess a QCC Transaction Fee on Customers
and Professionals. The third qualification,
[[Page 56678]]
which requires that 40% of the QCC executed contracts to have a Lead
Market Maker, Market Maker, Broker-Dealer, or Firm on each side of the
transaction, will assist the Exchange in funding the higher $0.27 per
contract QCC Rebate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\21\ The Exchange proposes to pay a rebate of $0.22 per
contract, when a QCC Order is comprised of a Customer or
Professional order on one side and a Lead Market Maker, Market
Maker, Broker-Dealer, or Firm order on the other side, in the event
that a member or member organization both executes greater than
1,000,000 qualifying QCC contracts in a given month and executes
Floor Originated Strategy Executions in excess of 3,500,000
contracts in a given month. Additionally, the Exchange proposes to
pay a $0.27 per contract, when a QCC Order is comprised of a Lead
Market Maker, Market Maker, Broker-Dealer, or Firm order on one side
and a Lead Market Maker, Market Maker, Broker-Dealer, or Firm order
on the other side, in the event that a member or member organization
both executes greater than 1,000,000 qualifying QCC contracts in a
given month and executes Floor Originated Strategy Executions in
excess of 3,500,000 contracts in a given month.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Exchange's proposal to offer two new QCC Rebates in Section A
of Options 7, Section 4,\22\ in addition to the current QCC Rebates, is
equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because all members and
member organizations may qualify for QCC Rebates, provided they
transact the requisite volume. The Exchange believes that the higher
rebate of $0.27 per contract, when the QCC Order is comprised of a Lead
Market Maker, Market Maker, Broker-Dealer, or Firm order on one side
and a Lead Market Maker, Market Maker, Broker-Dealer, or Firm order on
the other side, is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because
the Exchange assesses a QCC Transaction Fee of $0.20 per contract for
Lead Market Makers, Market Makers, Firms and Broker-Dealers and does
not assess a QCC Transaction Fee on Customers and Professionals. The
proposed rebate of $0.22 per contract, when a QCC Order is comprised of
a Customer or Professional order on one side and a Lead Market Maker,
Market Maker, Broker-Dealer, or Firm order on the other side, is lower
as compared to the $0.27 per contract rebate because Customers and
Professionals do not pay a QCC Transaction Fee whereas Lead Market
Makers, Market Makers, Broker-Dealers, and Firms pay a $0.20 per
contract QCC Transaction Fee.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\22\ See supra note 21.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Exchange's proposal to remove the pricing for the QCC Growth
Tier Rebate in Section B of Options 7, Section 4 as well as the rule
text concerning receiving either the QCC Rebate in Section A or the QCC
Growth Tier Rebate in Section B in a given month, but not both, is
reasonable, equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because as noted
in the Pricing Schedule, the QCC Growth Tier Rebate pricing was only
available until July 31, 2023. This pricing is no longer available.
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 not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
Inter-Market Competition
The proposal does not impose an undue burden on inter-market
competition. The Exchange believes its proposal remains competitive
with other options markets and will offer market participants with
another choice of where to transact options. The Exchange notes that it
operates in a highly competitive market in which market participants
can readily favor competing venues if they deem fee levels at a
particular venue to be excessive, or rebate opportunities available at
other venues to be more favorable. In such an environment, the Exchange
must continually adjust its fees to remain competitive with other
exchanges. Because competitors are free to modify their own fees in
response, and because market participants may readily adjust their
order routing practices, the Exchange believes that the degree to which
fee changes in this market may impose any burden on competition is
extremely limited.
Intra-Market Competition
The proposed amendments do not impose an undue burden on intra-
market competition. In terms of intra-market competition, the
Exchange's proposal to offer two new QCC Rebates in Section A of
Options 7, Section 4,\23\ in addition to the current QCC Rebates, does
not impose an undue burden on competition because all members and
member organizations may qualify for QCC Rebates, provided they
transact the requisite volume. The Exchange believes that the higher
rebate of $0.27 per contract, when the QCC Order is comprised of a Lead
Market Maker, Market Maker, Broker-Dealer, or Firm order on one side
and a Lead Market Maker, Market Maker, Broker-Dealer, or Firm order on
the other side, does not impose an undue burden on competition because
the Exchange assesses a QCC Transaction Fee of $0.20 per contract for
Lead Market Makers, Market Makers, Firms and Broker-Dealers and does
not assess a QCC Transaction Fee on Customers and Professionals. The
proposed rebate of $0.22 per contract, when a QCC Order is comprised of
a Customer or Professional order on one side and a Lead Market Maker,
Market Maker, Broker-Dealer, or Firm order on the other side, is lower
as compared to the $0.27 per contract rebate because Customers and
Professionals do not pay a QCC Transaction Fee whereas Lead Market
Makers, Market Makers, Broker-Dealers, and Firms pay a $0.20 per
contract QCC Transaction Fee.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\23\ See supra note 21.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Exchange's proposal to remove the pricing for the QCC Growth
Tier Rebate in Section B of Options 7, Section 4, as well as the rule
text concerning receiving either the QCC Rebate in Section A or the QCC
Growth Tier Rebate in Section B in a given month, but not both, does
not impose an undue burden on competition because, as noted in the
Pricing Schedule, the QCC Growth Tier Rebate pricing was only available
until July 31, 2023. This pricing is no longer available.
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
The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act.\24\

\24\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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: (i)
necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the
protection of investors; or (iii) 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.

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
