Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 44 / Tuesday, March 9, 2021 / Notices above, the program has not incented Market Makers to increase participation in manual executions on the Exchange.
In addition, because only those Market Makers that increased their Manual volume by specified amounts were eligible for discounted rates under the Step-Up Program, the proposed elimination of the program would remove a potential burden on competition in that it would level the playing field for all Market Makers operating on the Exchange.
The Exchange operates in a highly competitive market in which market participants can readily favor one of the 16 competing option exchanges. In such an environment, the Exchange must continually adjust its fees and rebates to remain competitive with other exchanges and to attract order flow to the Exchange. The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change reflects this competitive environment because it removes an unutilized program that did not achieve its intended purpose of attracting order flow.
