(‘‘FINRA’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been substantially prepared by FINRA.

The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. FINRA 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 2. Statutory Basis FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the provisions of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,7 which requires, among other things, that FINRA rules must be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.

FINRA believes these technical, non-substantive amendments will enhance the Code by making it easier to understand and apply. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition FINRA does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others 1. Purpose srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES Part IV rules in other rules of the Customer Code became inaccurate. FINRA is, therefore, proposing to amend the Customer Code to correct the cross-references that were changed as a result of the Optional All Public Panel Proposal.6 The new proposal would amend Rules 12213(a), 12309(c), 12314, 12503(c), 12800(e), and 12903(a). FINRA has filed the proposed rule change for immediate effectiveness. The effective date and the implementation date will be the date of filing. On January 31, 2011, the SEC approved a proposal to amend the panel composition rule, and related rules, of the Customer Code to provide customers with the option to choose an all public arbitration panel in all cases (Optional All Public Panel Proposal).5 The proposal changed substantively most of the rules in Part IV of the Customer Code to reflect the option to choose an all public arbitration panel in all cases. Further, many of the Part IV rules of the Customer Code were also re-numbered when some of the old rules were eliminated or combined with other rules.

The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization 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 this proposed rule change is to amend Chapter IV, Section 6 (Series of Options Contracts Open for Trading) and Chapter XIV, Section 10 (Terms of Index Option Contracts) of the Rules of the Boston Options Exchange Group, LLC (‘‘BOX’’) to expand the Short Term Option Series Program (‘‘Weeklys Program’’) so that BOX may select fifteen option classes on which Weekly options may be opened.3 The Weeklys Program is codified in the Supplementary Material to the BOX Rules Sections identified above. These rules provide that after an option class has been approved for listing and trading on BOX, BOX may open for trading on any Thursday or Friday that is a business day series of options on no more than five option classes that expire on the Friday of the following business week that is a business day. In addition to the five-option class limitation, there is also a limitation that no more than twenty series for each expiration date in those classes that may be opened for trading.4 3 The Exchange’s Weeklys Program became effective on July 15, 2010. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 62505 (July 15, 2010), 75 FR 42792 (July 22, 2010) (SR–BX–2010–047). 4 However, if BOX opens less than twenty (20) Weekly options for a Weekly Option Expiration Date, additional series may be opened for trading on BOX when the Exchange deems it necessary to maintain an orderly market, to meet customer demand or when the market price of the underlying security moves substantially from the exercise price or prices of the series already opened. Any additional strike prices listed by the Exchange shall be within thirty percent (30%) above or below the current price of the underlying security. BOX may also open additional strike prices of Weekly Option Series that are more than 30% above or below the current price of the underlying security provided that demonstrated customer interest exists for such series, as expressed by institutional, corporate or individual customers or their brokers (marketmakers trading for their own account shall not be considered when determining customer interest under this provision). PO 00000 Frm 00081 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 12771 Furthermore, the strike price of each Weekly option has to be fixed with approximately the same number of strike prices being opened above and below the value of the underlying security at about the time that the Weekly options are initially opened for trading on BOX, and with strike prices being within thirty percent (30%) above or below the closing price of the underlying security from the preceding day. The Exchange does not propose any changes to these additional Weeklys Program limitations. The Exchange proposes only to increase from five to fifteen the number of option classes that may be opened pursuant to the Weeklys Program. The principal reason for the proposed expansion is customer demand for adding, or not removing, Weekly option classes from the Program. Since there is reciprocity in matching other exchanges’ Weekly option choices, BOX discontinues trading Weekly option classes that other exchanges change from week-to-week. BOX believes that these class pick changes have negatively impacted investors and traders, particularly retail public customers, who have, on occasion requested that BOX add Weekly option classes. BOX understands that a retail investor recently requested another exchange to reinstate a Weekly option class that the exchange had removed from trading because of the five-class option limit within the Weekly Program. The investor advised that the removed class was a powerful tool for hedging a market sector, and that various strategies that the investor put into play were disrupted and eliminated when the class was removed. BOX feels that it is essential that such negative, potentially very costly impacts on retail investors are eliminated by modestly expanding the Program to enable additional classes to be traded. With regard to the impact of this proposal on system capacity, BOX has analyzed its capacity and represents that it and the Options Price Reporting Authority (‘‘OPRA’’) have the necessary systems capacity to handle the potential additional traffic associated with trading of an expanded number of classes in the Weeklys Program. BOX believes that the Weeklys Program has provided investors with greater trading opportunities and flexibility and the ability to more closely tailor their investment and risk management strategies and decisions. Furthermore, BOX has had to eliminate option classes on numerous occasions because of the limitation imposed by the E:\FR\FM\08MRN1.SGM 08MRN1

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    FINRA is proposing to amend various rules of the Code of 
Arbitration Procedure for Customer Disputes (Customer Code) to correct 
cross-references to rules that were changed by the approval of another 
rule filing.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on FINRA's Web 
site at https://www.finra.org, at the principal office of FINRA 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, FINRA 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. FINRA 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
    On January 31, 2011, the SEC approved a proposal to amend the panel 
composition rule, and related rules, of the Customer Code to provide 
customers with the option to choose an all public arbitration panel in 
all cases (Optional All Public Panel Proposal).\5\ The proposal changed 
substantively most of the rules in Part IV of the Customer Code to 
reflect the option to choose an all public arbitration panel in all 
cases. Further, many of the Part IV rules of the Customer Code were 
also re-numbered when some of the old rules were eliminated or combined 
with other rules. As a result of the changes by the proposal, several 
cross-references to old Part IV rules in other rules of the Customer 
Code became inaccurate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63799 (Jan. 31, 
2011), 76 FR 6500 (Feb. 4, 2011) (Order Approving File No. SR-FINRA-
2010-053).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA is, therefore, proposing to amend the Customer Code to 
correct the cross-references that were changed as a result of the 
Optional All Public Panel Proposal.\6\ The new proposal would amend 
Rules 12213(a), 12309(c), 12314, 12503(c), 12800(e), and 12903(a). 
FINRA has filed the proposed rule change for immediate effectiveness. 
The effective date and the implementation date will be the date of 
filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the 
provisions of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,\7\ which requires, among 
other things, that FINRA rules must be designed to prevent fraudulent 
and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable 
principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the 
public interest. FINRA believes that the proposed rule change will 
assist in the efficient administration of arbitrations by correcting 
inaccurate cross-references in the Customer Code. FINRA believes these 
technical, non-substantive amendments will enhance the Code by making 
it easier to understand and apply.

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    FINRA does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in 
any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in 
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed 
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 
Commission Action

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change is concerned solely with 
the administration of the self-regulatory organization, it has become 
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\ and paragraph 
(f)(3) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\9\

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule 
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule 
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or 
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or 
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission 
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to 
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
