Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 96 / Wednesday, May 18, 2016 / Notices The Exchange notes that the proposed rule change will not relieve Exchange Market Makers of their continuous quoting obligations under Exchange Rule 604 and under Reg NMS Rule 602.14 All of a Market Maker’s quotes in each option class will be considered firm until such time as the AEP threshold has been equaled or exceeded and the Market Maker’s quotes are removed by the Aggregate Risk Manager in all series of that option class.15 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 that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. On the contrary, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change will foster competition by providing Exchange Market Makers with the ability to enhance and specifically customize their use of the Exchange’s risk management tools in order to compete for executions and order flow. As to inter-market competition, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change should promote competition because it is designed to allow Exchange Market Makers with flexibility to modify their risk exposure in order to protect them from unusual market conditions or events that may increase their exposure in the market. For all the reasons stated, 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, and believes the proposed change will in fact enhance competition. sradovich on DSK3TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES C.
