Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend the
Fee Schedule To Establish Fees for Industry Members Related to
Reasonably Budgeted CAT Costs of the National Market System Plan
Governing the Consolidated Audit Trail for 2025
January 10, 2025.
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 December 27, 2024, MIAX Sapphire, LLC (``MIAX Sapphire'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Item I below,
which Item has been substantially prepared by the Exchange. The
Exchange has designated this proposal for immediate effectiveness
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)
thereunder.\4\ 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.
\3\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
\4\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to amend the Exchange's Fee Schedule (``Fee
Schedule'') to establish fees for Industry Members \5\ related to
reasonably budgeted CAT costs of the National Market System Plan
Governing the Consolidated Audit Trail (the ``CAT
[[Page 4819]]
NMS Plan'' or ``Plan'') for 2025. These fees would be payable to
Consolidated Audit Trail, LLC (``CAT LLC'' or the ``Company'') and
referred to as CAT Fee 2025-1, and would be described in a section of
the Exchange's fee schedule entitled ``Consolidated Audit Trail Funding
Fees.'' The fee rate for CAT Fee 2025-1 would be $0.000022 per executed
equivalent share. CAT Executing Brokers will receive their first
monthly invoice for CAT Fee 2025-1 in February 2025 calculated based on
their transactions as CAT Executing Brokers for the Buyer (``CEBB'')
and/or CAT Executing Brokers for the Seller (``CEBS'') in January 2025.
CAT Fee 2025-1 is anticipated to be in place for six months, and is
anticipated to recover approximately one-half of the costs set forth in
the reasonably budgeted CAT costs for 2025. CAT LLC intends for CAT Fee
2025-1 to replace CAT Fee 2024-1 (which has a fee rate of
$0.000035).\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ An ``Industry Member'' is defined as ``a member of a
national securities exchange or a member of a national securities
association.'' See Miami International Securities Exchange LLC
(``MIAX Rule'') Rule 1701(u). The Exchange notes that MIAX Chapter
XVII is incorporated by reference into the Exchange's rulebook. As
such, MIAX Chapter XVII also applies to the Exchange. See also
Section 1.1 of the CAT NMS Plan. Unless otherwise specified,
capitalized terms used in this rule filing are defined as set forth
in the CAT NMS Plan and/or the CAT Compliance Rule. See MIAX Rule
1701.
\6\ See paragraph (a)(3) of Consolidated Audit Trail Funding
Fees. See Exchange Fee Schedule, Section 8)a). See also Securities
Exchange Act Rel. No. 100875 (Aug. 29, 2024) 89 FR 72623 (Sept. 5,
2024) (SR-SAPPHIRE-2024-24) (``Fee Filing for CAT Fee 2024-1'').
