Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 42 / Friday, March 2, 2012 / Notices 19(b)(3)(A) 6 of the Act and Rule 19b– 4(f)(6) 7 thereunder. The Exchange provided the Commission with written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at least five business days prior to the date of filing the proposed rule change. The proposed rule change will offer Exchange Members the same potential for relief that is available at other options exchanges for certain obvious errors. Further, the proposed rule change is similar to rules currently in place at BOX. For the foregoing reasons, this rule filing qualifies for immediate effectiveness as a ‘‘non-controversial’’ rule change under paragraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b–4 of the Act, as it does not raise any new, unique or substantive issues, and is beneficial for competitive purposes and to promote a free and open market for the benefit of investors. 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. IV.
