Download as PDF 17734 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 61 / Wednesday, March 30, 2011 / Notices pursuant to the 17d–2 Agreement. The portion of the rule prohibiting the guarantee of a customer against loss is being amended to clarify that it applies not only to Order Flow Providers but also to persons associated with Participants. Third, the SRO proposes to amend its options communication rule, BOX Rule Chapter XI, Section 24, by deleting the term ‘‘market letters’’ in the definition of ‘‘sales literature’’ and adding the term ‘‘market letters’’ to the definition of ‘‘correspondence’’ to harmonize the rule with FINRA Rule 2220 and NASD Rule 2210(a)(2).6 2. Statutory Basis The SRO believes that the proposal is consistent with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act,7 in general, and Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,8 in particular, in that it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. Specifically, the proposed rule changes, by harmonizing BOX Trading Rules with FINRA Rules and the rules of other options exchanges, would provide Participants with a clearer regulatory scheme. The SRO further notes that the proposed rule changes are neither novel nor controversial and are modeled on existing rules. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The SRO 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. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES The SRO has neither solicited nor received comments on the proposed rule change. III. Basis for Summary Effectiveness Pursuant to Section 19(b)(3) or for Accelerated Effectiveness Pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) This proposed rule change is filed pursuant to paragraph (A) of section 6 Id. at Rule 9.21. U.S.C. 78f(b). 8 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). 7 15 VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:59 Mar 29, 2011 Jkt 223001 19(b)(3) of the Exchange Act 9 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.10 This proposed rule change does not significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest, does not impose any significant burden on competition, and, by its terms, does not become operative for 30 days after the date of the filing, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate if consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. Because the rule change is based upon rules in place at FINRA and other options exchanges, and does not present any novel issues, and is intended to maintain consistency among the exchanges, the SRO requests that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay period for ‘‘non-controversial’’ proposals and make the proposed rule change effective and operative upon filing.11 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 the action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or would otherwise further 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. IV. Solicitation of Comments Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views and arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods: Electronic Comments • Use the Commission’s Internet comment form (https://www.sec.gov/ rules/sro.shtml); or • Send an e-mail to rulecomments@sec.gov.
