I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The Phlx proposes to amend Phlx
Rule 507,3 which governs the
assignment of options to Streaming
Quote Traders (‘‘SQTs’’) 4 and Remote
Streaming Quote Traders (’’RSQTs’’),5
by adding commentary to the rule
establishing a maximum number of
quoting participants that may be
assigned to a particular equity option at
any one time.
The text of the proposed rule change
is available on the Phlx’s Web site at
https://www.phlx.com, at the Phlx’s
Office of the Secretary, and at the
Commission’s Public Reference Room.
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
Phlx 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 Exchange 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
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
The purpose of the proposed rule
change is to enable the Exchange to
manage its quotation traffic and
bandwidth capacity by limiting the
number of streaming quote market
participants that may be assigned to a
particular option at a given point in
time. The proposed amendments to Phlx
Rule 507 would establish: (i) A
maximum number of quoters (‘‘MNQ’’)
3 Phlx Rule 507 sets forth the process by which
the Committee assigns or reassigns options to
eligible Streaming Quote Traders and Remote
Streaming Quote Traders. See Phlx Rule 507.
4 An SQT is an Exchange Registered Options
Trader (‘‘ROT’’) who has received permission from
the Exchange to generate and submit options
quotations electronically through AUTOM in
eligible options to which such SQT is assigned. An
SQT may only submit such quotations while such
SQT is physically present on the floor of the
Exchange. See Phlx Rule 1014(b)(ii)(A).
5 An RSQT is a ROT that is a member or member
organization with no physical trading floor
presence who has received permission from the
Exchange to generate and submit option quotations
electronically through AUTOM in eligible options
to which such RSQT has been assigned. An RSQT
may only submit such quotations electronically
from off the floor of the Exchange. See Phlx Rule
1014(b)(ii)(B).
