Download as PDF 42600 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 137 / Friday, July 17, 2015 / Notices Commission notes that, while information barriers are not specifically required under this proposed rule change, a firm’s business model or business activities may dictate that an information barrier or a functional separation be part of the appropriate set of policies and procedures that would be reasonably designed to achieve compliance with applicable securities law and regulations, and with applicable Exchange rules. Finally, the Commission notes that the policies and procedures required by NYSE MKT Rule 3(j) are subject to oversight by the Exchange and review by FINRA,32 and the Commission emphasizes that member organizations operating a Specialist, e-Specialist or Market Maker should be proactive in assuring that its policies and procedures reflect the current state of its business and continue to be reasonably designed to achieve compliance with applicable federal securities law and regulations and with applicable Exchange rules.33 V. Conclusion It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 34 that the proposed rule change (SR–NYSEMKT– 2015–23), as modified by Amendment No. 1, be, and it hereby is, approved. For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.35 Brent J. Fields, Secretary.
