I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange is filing with the Commission a proposal to amend Rule 
12.6, Customer Priority, to make it substantially similar to Financial 
Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (``FINRA'') Rule 5320, BATS 
Exchange, Inc. (``BATS'') Rule 12.6 and BATS-Y Exchange, Inc. (``BYX'') 
Rule 12.6. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the 
Exchange's Internet Web site at www.directedge.com, at the Exchange's 
principal office, and at the Public Reference Room of the Commission.

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 self-regulatory organization 
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 self-regulatory organization 
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 proposes to amend Rule 12.6, which limits trading 
ahead of customer orders by Members,\3\ to make the rule substantially 
similar to FINRA Rule 5320,\4\ BATS Rule 12.6 and BYX Rule 12.6.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The term ``Member'' is defined as ``any registered broker or 
dealer, or any person associated with a registered broker or dealer, 
that has been admitted to membership in the Exchange. A Member will 
have the status of a ``member'' of the Exchange as that term is 
defined in Section 3(a)(3) of the Act.'' See Exchange Rule 1.5(n).
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63895 (February 11, 
2011), 76 FR 9386 (February 17, 2011) (SR-FINRA-2009-090).
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 70952 (November 27, 
2013), 78 FR 72949 (December 4, 2013) (SR-BATS-2013-056) (order 
approving proposal to amend BATS Rule 12.6); see also Securities 
Exchange Act Release No. 70951 (November 27, 2013), 78 FR 72944 
(December 4, 2013) (SR-BYX-2013-036) (order approving proposal to 
amend Rule 12.6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On January 31, 2014, Direct Edge Holdings LLC (``DE Holdings''), 
the former parent company of the Exchange, completed its business 
combination with BATS Global Markets, Inc., the parent company of BATS 
and BYX.\6\ As part of its effort to reduce regulatory duplication and 
relieve firms that are members of the Exchange, BATS, and BYX of 
conflicting or unnecessary regulatory burdens, the Exchange is now 
engaged in the process of reviewing and amending certain Exchange, 
BATS, and BYX Rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 71449 (January 30, 
2014), 79 FR 6961 (February 5, 2014) (SR-EDGA-2013-34). Upon 
completion of the Combination, DE Holdings and BATS Global Markets, 
Inc. each became intermediate holding companies, held under a single 
new holding company. The new holding company, formerly named ``BATS 
Global Markets Holdings, Inc.,'' changed its name to ``BATS Global 
Markets, Inc.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, pursuant to Rule 17d-2 under the Act,\7\ the Exchange 
and FINRA entered into an agreement to allocate regulatory 
responsibility for common rules (the ``17d-2 Agreement''). The 17d-2 
Agreement covers common members of the Exchange and FINRA and allocates 
to FINRA regulatory responsibility, with respect to common members, for 
the following: (i) Examination of common members of the Exchange and 
FINRA for compliance with federal securities laws, rules and 
regulations and rules of the Exchange that the Exchange has certified 
as identical or substantially similar to FINRA rules; (ii) 
investigation of common members of EDGA and FINRA for violations of 
federal securities laws, rules or regulations, or Exchange rules that 
the Exchange has certified as identical or substantially identical to a 
FINRA rule; and (iii) enforcement of compliance by common members with 
the federal securities laws, rules and regulations, and the rules of 
the Exchange that the Exchange has certified as identical or 
substantially similar to FINRA rules.\8\ The 17d-2 Agreement included a 
certification by the Exchange that states that the requirements 
contained in certain Exchange rules are identical to, or substantially 
similar to, certain FINRA rules that have been identified as 
comparable.

    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 61698 (March 12, 
2010), 75 FR 13151 (March 18, 2010) (approving File No. 10-196).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To conform to comparable FINRA rules for purposes of the 17d-2 
Agreement, as well as BATS and BYX rules for purposes of its 
harmonization efforts due to its business combination, the Exchange 
proposes to amend Rule 12.6, Customer Priority, to align with FINRA 
Rule 5320, BATS Rule 12.6, and BYX Rule 12.6.
    As with FINRA Rule 5320, BATS Rule 12.6 and BYX Rule 12.6, amended 
Rule 12.6 would prohibit Members from trading ahead of customer orders, 
subject to specified exceptions. The amended rule would include 
exceptions for large orders and institutional accounts, proprietary 
transactions effected by a trading unit of a Member with no knowledge 
of customer orders held by another trading unit of the Member, riskless 
principal transactions, intermarket sweep orders (``ISOs''), and odd 
lot and bona fide error transactions, discussed in detail below. 
Amended Rule 12.6 would also provide the same guidance as FINRA Rule 
5320, BATS Rule 12.6 and BYX Rule 12.6, on minimum price improvement 
standards, order handling procedures, and trading outside normal market 
hours.
Background
    Current Rule 12.6, the customer order protection rule, generally 
prohibits Members from trading on a proprietary basis ahead of, or 
along with, customer orders that are executable at the same price as 
the proprietary order. The rule contains several exceptions that make 
it permissible for a Member to enter a proprietary order while 
representing a customer order that could be executed at the same price, 
including permitting transactions for the purposes of facilitating the 
execution, on a riskless principal basis, of one or more customer 
orders.
Proposal To Adopt Text of FINRA Rule 5320, BATS Rule 12.6 and BYX Rule 
12.6
    To harmonize its rules with FINRA, BATS, and BYX, the Exchange 
proposes to delete the current text of Rule 12.6 and its supplementary 
material and adopt the text and supplementary material of FINRA Rule 
5320, with certain technical changes, as Rule 12.6. The proposed text 
of proposed Rule 12.6 would be identical to the text of BATS Rule 12.6 
and BYX Rule 12.6. FINRA Rule 5320, BATS Rule 12.6, and BYX Rule 12.6 
generally provide that a member that accepts and holds an order in an 
equity security from its own customer, or a customer of another broker-
dealer, without immediately executing the order is prohibited from 
trading that security on the same side of the market for its own 
account at a price that would satisfy the customer order, unless it 
immediately thereafter executes the customer order up to the size and 
at the same or better price at which it traded for its own account.
Exceptions
    Amended Rule 12.6 would include exceptions to the prohibition 
against trading ahead of customer orders. That

[[Page 18369]]

is, a Member that meets the conditions of an exception would be 
permitted to trade a security on the same side of the market for its 
own account at a price that would satisfy a customer order in certain 
circumstances. The exceptions are set out below.
Large Orders and Institutional Accounts
    One exception would permit a Member to negotiate terms and 
conditions with respect to the acceptance of certain large-sized orders 
(orders of 10,000 shares or more unless such orders are less than 
$100,000 in value) or orders from institutional accounts. The term 
``institutional account'' will be defined in accordance with FINRA Rule 
4512(c) and Interpretation and Policy .01 under both BATS and BYX Rules 
12.6. That is, an institutional account will be defined as the account 
of: (1) A bank, savings and loan association, insurance company or 
registered investment company; (2) an investment adviser registered 
either with the SEC under Section 203 of the Investment Advisers Act or 
with a state securities commission (or any agency or office performing 
like functions); or (3) any other person (whether a natural person, 
corporation, partnership, trust or otherwise) with total assets of at 
least $50 million. This exception would require the Member to provide 
clear and comprehensive written disclosure to each customer at account 
opening and annually thereafter that: (a) States that the Member may 
trade proprietarily at prices that would satisfy the customer order, 
and (b) provides the customer with a meaningful opportunity to opt in 
to the Rule 12.6 protections with respect to all or any portion of its 
order. If a customer does not opt in to the protections with respect to 
all or any portion of its order, the Member may reasonably conclude 
that such customer has consented to the Member trading a security on 
the same side of the market for its own account at a price that would 
satisfy the customer's order.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ A customer would retain the right to withdraw consent at any 
time. Therefore, a Member's reasonable conclusion that a customer 
has consented to the Member trading along with such customer's order 
is subject to further instruction and modification from the 
customer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In lieu of providing written disclosure to customers at account 
opening and annually thereafter, the proposed rule would permit Members 
to provide clear and comprehensive oral disclosure to, and obtain 
consent from, a customer on an order-by-order basis. The Member would 
be required to document who provided such consent and that such consent 
evidences the customer's understanding of the terms and conditions of 
the order. If a customer opted in to the Rule 12.6 protections, a 
Member could still obtain consent on an order-by-order basis to trade 
ahead of or along with an order from that customer, provided that the 
Member documented who provided such consent and that such consent 
evidenced the customer's understanding of the terms and conditions of 
the order.
No-Knowledge Exception
    The Exchange is also proposing to include in Interpretation and 
Policy .02 a ``no-knowledge'' exception to its customer order 
protection rule. The proposed exception would allow one trading unit of 
a Member to trade in a proprietary capacity and at prices that would 
satisfy customer orders held by another, separate trading unit of the 
Member. The No-Knowledge Exception would be applicable with respect to 
NMS stocks, as defined in Rule 600 of Regulation NMS under the Act.
    To avail itself of the No-Knowledge Exception, a Member would be 
required to meet certain conditions. First, it would have to implement 
and utilize an effective system of internal controls (such as 
appropriate information barriers) that operate to prevent the 
proprietary trading unit from obtaining knowledge of the customer 
orders held by a separate trading unit. As proposed, Interpretation and 
Policy .02 will make clear that appropriate information barriers must, 
at a minimum, comply with the Exchange's existing requirements 
regarding the prevention of the misuse of material, non-public 
information, which are set forth in Exchange Rule 5.5. Second, the 
Member would have to provide, at account opening and annually 
thereafter, a written description of how it handles customer orders and 
the circumstances under which it may trade proprietarily, including in 
a market-making capacity, at prices that would satisfy the customer 
order. A Member must maintain records indicating which orders rely on 
the no-knowledge exception and produce these records to the Exchange 
upon request. The onus will be on the Member to produce sufficient 
documentation justifying reliance on the No-Knowledge exception for any 
given trade. To ensure clarity and transparency regarding this 
exception and others, the Exchange will be issuing a regulatory notice 
informing Members of these proposed rule changes. The Exchange will 
include in the regulatory notice the effective date for the rule as 
amended, which shall be at least 30 days after the effectiveness of the 
amendments to Rule 12.6 in order to allow Members to make any necessary 
changes to their internal policies or processes.
Riskless Principal Exception
    Amended Rule 12.6 would not apply to a proprietary trade made by 
the Member to facilitate the execution, on a riskless principal basis, 
of another order from a customer (whether its own customer or the 
customer of another broker-dealer). To take advantage of this 
exception, the Member would have to: (a) Submit a report, 
contemporaneously with the execution of the facilitated order, 
identifying the trade as riskless principal to the Exchange, and (b) 
have written policies and procedures to ensure that riskless principal 
transactions relied upon for this exception comply with applicable 
Exchange rules. At a minimum, these policies and procedures would have 
to require: (1) Receipt of the customer order before execution of the 
offsetting principal transaction, and (2) execution of the offsetting 
principal transaction at the same price as the customer order, 
exclusive of any markup or markdown, commission equivalent, or other 
fee and allocation to a riskless principal or customer account in a 
consistent manner and within 60 seconds of execution.
    Members would have to have supervisory systems in place that 
produce records that enable the Member and the Exchange to reconstruct 
accurately, readily, and in a time-sequenced manner all orders on which 
the Member relies in claiming this exception.
ISO Exception
    The proposed rule change would also exempt a Member from the 
obligation to execute a customer order in a manner consistent with Rule 
12.6 with regard to trading for its own account when the Member routed 
an ISO in compliance with Rule 600(b)(30)(ii) of Regulation NMS if the 
customer order is received after the Member routed the ISO. If a Member 
routes an ISO to facilitate a customer order, and that customer has 
consented to not receiving the better prices obtained by the ISO, the 
Member would also be exempt with respect to any trading for its own 
account that is the result of the ISO as it pertains to the consenting 
customer's order.
Odd Lot and Bona Fide Error Exception
    The Exchange proposes to except a Member's proprietary trade that: 
(1) To offset a customer order that is an amount less than a normal 
unit of trading (i.e., an order less than one round lot, which is 
typically 100 shares), or (2) corrects a bona fide error.

[[Page 18370]]

With respect to bona fide errors, the Member would be required to 
demonstrate and document the basis upon which a transaction meets the 
bona fide error exception. For purposes of this proposed Rule, the 
Exchange will adopt the definition of ``bona fide error'' found in 
Regulation NMS's exemption for error correction transactions.\10\ Thus, 
a bona fide error is:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

72 FR 32926, 32927 (June 14, 2007) (Order Exempting Certain Error 
Correction Transactions from Rule 611 of Regulation NMS under the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934).

    (i) The inaccurate conveyance or execution of any term of an 
order including, but not limited to, price, number of shares or 
other unit of trading; identification of the security; 
identification of the account for which securities are purchased or 
sold; lost or otherwise misplaced order tickets; short sales that 
were instead sold long or vice versa; or the execution of an order 
on the wrong side of a market; (ii) the unauthorized or unintended 
purchase sale or allocation of securities or the failure to follow 
specific client instructions; (iii) the incorrect entry of data into 
relevant systems, including reliance on incorrect cash positions, 
withdrawals, or securities positions reflected in an account; or 
(iv) a delay, outage, or failure of a communication system used to 
transmit market data prices or to facilitate the delivery or 
execution of an order. \11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ Id.

Minimum Price Improvement Standards
    The proposed rule change establishes the minimum amount of price 
improvement necessary for a Member to execute an order on a proprietary 
basis when holding an unexecuted limit order in that same security 
without being required to execute the held limit order.
    In addition, if the minimum price improvement standards set forth 
in proposed Interpretation and Policy .06, paragraphs (a) through (g) 
would trigger the protection of a pending customer limit order, any 
better-priced customer limit order(s) must also be protected under this 
Rule, even if those better-priced limit orders would not be directly 
triggered under these minimum price improvement standards.
Order Handling Procedures
    The proposed rule change provides that a Member must make every 
effort to execute a marketable customer order that it receives fully 
and promptly. A Member holding a marketable customer order that has not 
been immediately executed would have to make every effort to cross such 
order with any other order received by the Member on the other side of 
the market, up to the size of such order at a price that is no less 
than the best bid and no greater than the best offer at the time that 
the subsequent order is received by the Member and that is consistent 
with the terms of the orders. If a Member were holding multiple orders 
on both sides of the market that have not been executed, the Member 
would have to make every effort to cross or otherwise execute such 
orders in a manner reasonable and consistent with the objectives of the 
proposed Rule and with the terms of the orders. A Member could satisfy 
the crossing requirement by contemporaneously buying from the seller 
and selling to the buyer at the same price.
Trading Outside Normal Market Hours
    Under the proposed amendments to Rule 12.6, a Member generally 
could limit the life of a customer order to the period of normal market 
hours of 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. However, if the customer 
and Member agreed to the processing of the customer's order outside 
normal market hours, the protections of amended Rule 12.6 would apply 
to that customer's order at all times the customer order is executable 
by the Member.
Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 
6(b) of the Act \12\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 
6(b)(5) of the Act \13\ in particular, in that it is designed to 
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation 
and coordination with persons engaged in 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. The Exchange believes that 
amending the rule to conform to FINRA Rule 5320, BATS Rule 12.6 and BYX 
Rule 12.6 will contribute to investor protection by defining important 
parameters by which Members must abide when trading proprietarily while 
holding customer limit and market orders, and foster cooperation by 
harmonizing requirements across self-regulatory organizations. The 
Exchange also believes that including this rule will reinforce the 
importance of and ensure that Members are aware of these requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Members who are also members of FINRA, BATS, or BYX are subject to 
different regulatory standards when seeking to comply with applicable 
rules regarding customer protection. The Exchange believes that the 
proposed rule change will provide greater harmonization between similar 
Exchange and FINRA, BATS, and BYX rules, resulting in greater 
uniformity and, less burdensome and more efficient regulatory 
compliance for common members. As such, the proposed rule change would 
foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in 
facilitating transactions in securities and would remove impediments to 
and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national 
market system.

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. To the contrary, the Exchange 
believes that the proposal enhances cooperation among markets and other 
trading venues to promote fair and orderly markets and to protect the 
interests of the public and of investors. Specifically, by aligning the 
Exchange's customer protection rules with those of FINRA, BATS, BYX and 
other exchanges,\14\ the proposed rule change will reduce the 
complexity of the customer order protection rules for those Members 
that are also subject to the customer order protection rules of FINRA 
and other exchanges. As a result, the proposed rule will help assure 
the protection of customer orders without imposing undue regulatory 
costs on industry participants. In addition, the proposed rule change 
is not designed to address any competitive issues but rather is 
designed to provide greater harmonization among similar Exchange and 
FINRA rules, resulting in less burdensome and more efficient regulatory 
compliance for common members and facilitating FINRA's performance of 
its regulatory functions under the 17d-2 Agreement.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed 
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on 
the proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 
Commission Action

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section 
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \15\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\16\ 
Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the 
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any 
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to 
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as 
the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of 
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become 
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \17\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\18\

Exchange's intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a 
brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at least 
five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule 
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The 
Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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.
