This order institutes proceedings under Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the
Exchange Act \9\ to determine whether to approve or disapprove the
proposed rule changes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Description of the Proposed Rule Changes
The Exchange proposes to adopt Rule 3.66 to provide that an OEMS
\10\ operated in a manner independent from the Exchange despite
affiliation with the Exchange will not be deemed a facility of the
Exchange as that term is defined in the Act. Section 3(a)(2) of the Act
defines ``facility'' as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ For a description of the functionalities of an OEMS, see
Notice at 89 FR 15907-08.
The term ``facility'' when used with respect to an exchange
includes its premises, tangible or intangible property whether on
the premises or not, any right to the use of such premises or
property or any service thereof for the purpose of effecting or
reporting a transaction on an exchange (including, among other
things, any system of communication to or from the exchange, by
ticker or otherwise, maintained by or with the consent of the
exchange), and any right of the exchange to the use of any property
or service.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ 15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(2).
The Exchange's proposed Rule 3.66 would provide that for so long as
the Exchange provides or is affiliated with any entity that provides,
or the Exchange or an affiliate has a contractual relationship with any
entity that provides, an OEMS platform, such OEMS will not be regulated
as a ``facility'' of the Exchange and thus not subject to Section 6 of
the Act if it meets certain conditions. These proposed conditions are:
(a) use of the OEMS is voluntary (i.e., solely within the
discretion of a TPH) and not required for a TPH to access to the
Exchange (i.e., the OEMS is a nonexclusive means of access to the
Exchange);
(b) if a TPH using the OEMS establishes a direct connection to the
Exchange via an Exchange port, that connection is established in the
same manner and in accordance with the same terms, conditions, and fees
as any third-party OEMS as set forth in the Exchange's Rules, technical
specifications, and Fees Schedule;
(c) the OEMS (or the entity that owns the OEMS) is not a registered
broker-dealer;
(d) for any orders ultimately routed through the OEMS to the
Exchange:
(1) users and their brokers are solely responsible for routing
decisions; and
(2) the Exchange processes those orders in the same manner as any
other orders received by the Exchange (i.e., orders submitted through
the OEMS to the Exchange receive no preferential treatment on the
Exchange);
(e) any fees charged to a user of the OEMS are unrelated to that
user's Exchange activity or to Exchange fees set forth on the
Exchange's fees schedule;
(f) the OEMS and its users use any premises or service from the
Exchange that is a facility, such as market data, pursuant to the same
terms, conditions, and fees as any other user of Exchange premises and
services as set forth in the Exchange's Rules, technical
specifications, and Fees Schedule;
(g) a third-party not required to register as a national securities
exchange under Section 6 of the Act can offer a similar OEMS; and
(h) the Exchange has established and maintains procedures and
internal controls reasonably designed to prevent the OEMS from
receiving any competitive advantage or benefit as a result of its
affiliation/relationship with the Exchange, including the provision of
information to the entity or personnel operating the OEMS regarding
updates to the System (such as technical specifications) until such
information is available generally to similarly situated market
participants.
The Exchange notes generally that OEMSs as such are not subject to
the rule filing requirements of Section 19(b) of the Act. In limited
instances however when the Exchange or an Exchange affiliate owns an
OEMS platform, Commission staff has advised the Exchange that
affiliation with those entities caused the OEMSs to be considered
``facilities'' under the Act and are thus subject to the rule filing
requirements under Section 19(b) of the Act.\12\ The Exchange, however,
believes that even if an OEMS is offered by an Exchange affiliate, if
it is operated as a separate business from the Exchange and is operated
on the same terms as OEMSs that are not offered by the Exchange or an
Exchange affiliate, it is not a facility as defined by the Act. The
Exchange seeks to codify this interpretation of the Act in its
rulebook. The Exchange states that such an OEMS platform receives no
advantage over
[[Page 48464]]
other OEMS platforms as a result of its affiliation with the Exchange
and orders from such an OEMS are handled by the Exchange pursuant to
its Rules in the same manner as orders from any other OEMSs. The
Exchange also ``notes it currently offers certain port fee waivers to
users of the Silexx platform [affiliated with the Exchange] and
different pricing for certain functionality to TPHs and non-TPHs.''
\13\ The Exchange does not provide fee waivers to OEMS users not
affiliated with Silexx.

III. Summary of Comments Received and Exchange's Response
The Commission has received several comment letters regarding this
proposal.\14\ All commenters expressed concern regarding this
proposal's position regarding what is considered a ``facility'' with
respect to an ``exchange'' and encouraged the Commission to consider
any precedent that this proposal may set.\15\ Two commenters
recommended that the Commission should reject or disapprove this
proposal.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See supra notes 6, 8.
\15\ See Bloomberg Letter, Healthy Markets Letter, and McKay
Letter.
\16\ See Bloomberg Letter and Healthy Markets Letter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
One commenter stated that the definition of a ``facility'' is a key
pillar of the Commission's regulatory framework and a vital component
in setting the Commission's scope of authority over exchanges.\17\ The
commenter further stated that this proposal falls squarely within a
history of the exchanges' efforts to limit the Commission's authority
to oversee core exchange functions \18\ and that this proposal would
redefine the well-established definition of a ``facility'' and
``exchange'' that was recently affirmed by the D.C. Circuit.\19\ Two
commenters found that the affiliated OEMS clearly falls under the
statutory definition of a ``facility'' of an ``exchange'' and that
these exchange-affiliated OEMSs have been considered for some time, to
fall within the definition of ``facility.'' \20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\18\ See Bloomberg Letter, at 6.
\19\ See Bloomberg Letter, at 2-3.
\20\ See Bloomberg Letter, at 7. See also Healthy Markets
Letter, at 4
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In response to the commenters, the Exchange stated that its
proposal, contrary to commenters' views, does not attempt to redefine
the term ``facility'' and that its proposal applies the definition of
``facility,'' which it notes predates the existence of OEMSs, ``as
interpreted by the D.C. Circuit, to a specific modern trading tool.''
\21\ The Exchange further stated that the recent D.C. Circuit decision
supports the Exchange's view that ``OEMSs operated by the Exchange or
an Exchange affiliate but independently from the Exchange are not
facilities of an exchange as defined in the Act.'' \22\ In response to
the Exchange's statements, a commenter reiterated its assertion that
these affiliated OEMSs are clearly in scope of the definition of
``facility'' and posited that ``[a]t heart, the Exchange wishes to
continue providing the same OEMS services . . . yet simply re-define
`facility' in a manner that removes these Exchange-affiliated OEMSs
from the ambit of `facility.' '' \23\ The commenter also explained that
allowing the Exchange to ``exempt themselves'' out of the applicable
statute would effectively permit the Exchange ``to change the contours
of the statute'' with broad implications.\24\ The commenter stated that
the Exchange completely misinterpreted the D.C. Circuit decision and
that the Court instead expressly determined that the definition of both
``exchange'' and ``facility'' should be interpreted broadly under the
Act.\25\ The commenter further stated that ``[t]he Exchange's central
factual argument [, ] that the exchange-owned OEMSs are independently
operated from the interests and control of the Exchange appears to be
without merit and contrary to the facts provided in the proposal.\26\

\25\ See Bloomberg Response Letter, at 7-9.
\26\ See Bloomberg Response Letter, at 12-13.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition, the commenter stated that acceptance of the position
put forth in this proposal to allow exchanges to be the final arbiter
of what is a ``facility'' and to also overturn a settled Commission
decision would be an enormous departure from established precedent.\27\
One commenter cautioned that when exchange services are excluded from
the definition of a ``facility'' and are not subject to the Act and
Commission oversight, exchanges are allowed to provide services in an
unfairly discriminatory manner, impose unnecessary and inappropriate
burdens on competition and impede a free and open market in
contravention of Sections 6(b)(5) and (8) of the Act.\28\ The commenter
further cautioned that exchanges have used affiliates and third-party
service providers to obscure whether a service is a ``facility'' of an
exchange.\29\ In addition, one commenter stated that this proposal is
the Exchange's attempt to offer OEMS services free from Commission
oversight and the obligations imposed upon exchanges by the Act.\30\
Commenters also stated that the Exchange failed to provide the
Commission or the public with sufficient information with which to
perform its analysis with respect to whether this proposal is
consistent with the Act.\31\ These commenters further stated that
without the essential details of the Exchange's OEMS and the scope of
services offered on the Exchange, it would be difficult, if not
impossible, for the Commission to ensure that this proposal is
consistent with the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.\32\
One commenter also stated that this proposal contains no information as
to how the particular rule is designed to protect investors and the
public interest, as required under the Act.\33\

\28\ See McKay Letter, at 1-2.

Letter, at 8-9.
\32\ See Bloomberg Letter, at 7-8. See also Healthy Markets
Letter, at 8-9.
\33\ See Bloomberg Letter, at 8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Exchange responded that its proposal is nothing more than a
proposed rule change as required by the Commission's rule filing
process \34\ and that the proposal includes sufficient information
describing the proposed rule change and why it is consistent with
Section 6(b) of the Act.\35\ The Exchange further stated that the
proposal describes the primary functions of an OEMS with a similar
level of detail as prior Cboe Options rule filings regarding OEMSs,
none of which, as stated by the Exchange, were disapproved or suspended
by the Commission or commented on as being inconsistent with the Act's
rule filing requirements.\36\ In its response letter, a commenter
stated that the Exchange has not provided any meaningful explanation as
to why the proposal is consistent with the Act and further that the
proposal appears to remove the investor protections of the Act and
otherwise limit Commission oversight.\37\ The commenter also reiterated
that these exchange-affiliated OEMSs have been considered by the
Commission for some time to fall within the definition of a
``facility'' under the Act.\38\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\34\ See Exchange Response, at 3.
\35\ See Exchange Response, at 4.
\36\ See Exchange Response, at 4.
\37\ See Bloomberg Response Letter, at 11-12.
\38\ See Bloomberg Response Letter, at 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
One commenter stated that the Exchange is improperly seeking a
statutory exemption for which the
[[Page 48465]]
Commission has detailed procedures that the Exchange has not
followed.\39\ The commenter explained that while it would object to the
Commission granting such an exemption, requesting exemptive relief
would at least be within the Commission's authority. The commenter
further stated that the Exchange however is not asking the Commission
for exemptive relief and is instead asking the Commission to ``ignore
the plain language of the statute.'' \40\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\39\ See Healthy Markets Letter, at 7.
\40\ See Healthy Markets Letter, at 7-8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In response, the Exchange stated that commenters' views that
exemptive relief is needed are unwarranted and ``[a]n exemption is
unnecessary if the statute is inapplicable to that product or service,
as the Exchange asserts is the case for a Rule 3.66 OEMS.'' \41\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\41\ See Exchange Response, at 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
IV. Proceedings To Determine Whether To Approve or Disapprove SR-CBOE-
2024-008 and Grounds for Disapproval Under Consideration
The Commission is instituting proceedings pursuant to Section
19(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act \42\ to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved. Institution of such
proceedings is appropriate at this time in view of the legal and policy
issues raised by the proposed rule change. Institution of proceedings
does not indicate that the Commission has reached any conclusions with
respect to any of the issues involved. Rather, as described below, the
Commission seeks and encourages interested persons to provide comments
on the proposed rule change to inform the Commission's analysis of
whether to approve or disapprove the proposal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\42\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act,\43\ the
Commission is providing notice of the grounds for disapproval under
consideration. The Commission is instituting proceedings to allow for
additional analysis of, and input from commenters with respect to, the
consistency of the proposal with Sections 6(b)(5) \44\ and 6(b)(8) \45\
of the Act. Section 6(b)(5) of the Act requires that the rules of a
national securities exchange be designed, among other things, to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, 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, and not be designed to permit unfair discrimination between
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers. Section 6(b)(8) of the Act
requires that the rules of a national securities exchange not impose
any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\44\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
\45\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As discussed above, the Exchange is proposing to codify in its
rulebook that OEMSs that meet the conditions described above will be
not considered ``facilities'' as that term is defined by the Act even
if they are operated by the Exchange or an Exchange affiliate. The
Commission received comment letters that express concern regarding the
proposal, including that the Exchange did not provide sufficient
information to establish that the proposal is consistent with the Act.
The Commission notes that, under the Commission's Rules of
Practice, the ``burden to demonstrate that a proposed rule change is
consistent with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder . . . is on the self-regulatory organization [`SRO'] that
proposed the rule change.'' \46\ The description of a proposed rule
change, its purpose and operation, its effect, and a legal analysis of
its consistency with applicable requirements must all be sufficiently
detailed and specific to support an affirmative Commission finding,\47\
and any failure of an SRO to provide this information may result in the
Commission not having sufficient basis to make an affirmative finding
that a proposed rule change is consistent with the Exchange Act and the
applicable rule and regulations.\48\

201.700(b)(3).
\47\ See id.
\48\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Commission believes it is appropriate to institute proceedings
pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act \49\ to determine
whether the proposal should be approved or disapproved. The Commission
is instituting proceedings to allow for additional consideration and
comment on the issues raised herein, including as to whether the
proposal is consistent with the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\49\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
V. Procedure: Request for Written Comments
The Commission requests that interested persons provide written
submissions of their data, views, and arguments with respect to the
issues identified above, as well as any other concerns they may have
with the proposal. In particular, the Commission invites the written
views of interested persons concerning whether the proposed rule change
is consistent with the Act, or the rules and regulations thereunder.
Although there do not appear to be any issues relevant to approval or
disapproval that would be facilitated by an oral presentation of data,
views, and arguments, the Commission will consider, pursuant to Rule
19b-4 under the Act,\50\ any request for an opportunity to make an oral
presentation.\51\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\50\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
\51\ Section 19(b)(2) of the Act, as amended by the Securities
Acts Amendments of 1975, Public Law 94-29 (June 4, 1975), grants to
the Commission flexibility to determine what type of proceeding--
either oral or notice and opportunity for written comments--is
appropriate for consideration of a particular proposal by a self-
regulatory organization. See Securities Acts Amendments of 1975,
Senate Comm. on Banking, Housing & Urban Affairs, S. Rep. No. 75,
94th Cong., 1st Sess. 30 (1975).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments regarding whether the proposed rule change should be approved
or disapproved by June 27, 2024. Any person who wishes to file a
rebuttal to any other person's submission must file that rebuttal by
July 11, 2024. The Commission asks that commenters address the
sufficiency of the Exchange's statements in support of the proposal,
which are set forth in the Notice.\52\ In particular, the Commission
seeks comment on the following questions:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\52\ See Notice, supra note 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Has the Exchange demonstrated how the proposal is consistent
with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act, which requires, among other things,
that the rules of a national securities exchange be designed to
``promote just and equitable principles of trade, 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'' and not be ``designed to permit unfair discrimination
between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers'' \53\ Are there
additional facts that commenters believe the Commission should consider
to assess whether the proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)(5)? If
so, please provide.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\53\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Has the Exchange demonstrated how the proposal is consistent
with Section 6(b)(8) of the Act, which requires that the rules of a
national securities exchange ``not impose any burden on competition not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the
[[Page 48466]]
purposes of [the Act].'' \54\ Are there additional facts that
commenters believe the Commission should consider in order to assess
whether the proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)(8)? If so, please
provide.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\54\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Are there any potential competitive advantages that could be
realized by an Exchange-affiliated OEMS ``facilitating transactions in
securities'' \55\ that could arise from that OEMS operating outside the
Commission review process? If so, please identify these potential
advantages. Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
