The Exchange proposes temporary waivers tied to CORE FIX availability: a 30-day waiver of the CORE FIX production port fee for up to five newly added CORE FIX production ports, and a 30-day waiver of the $300 Testing Facility fee for up to five newly added CORE FIX testing ports. Both waivers are offered only during a three-month window beginning on the date CORE FIX first becomes available (Exchange will announce that date), and a user may receive the 30-day waiver once per port up to the five-port limit.
