Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange 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 Exchange proposes to amend the Bylaws to change the name of the Regulatory Oversight Committee. Currently, the Bylaws provide that the committees of the Board include, among others, a Regulatory Oversight Committee. Recently, the Board (pursuant to its authority under Section 4.5 of the Bylaws) delegated to the Regulatory Oversight Committee authority to oversee the adequacy and effectiveness of the Exchange’s compliance functions, in addition to its regulatory oversight responsibilities. To more accurately reflect the current regulatory and compliance functions of the Regulatory Oversight Committee, the Exchange proposes to amend the Bylaws to replace all references to ‘‘Regulatory Oversight Committee’’ with ‘‘Regulatory Oversight and Compliance Committee.’’ Additionally, the title of the Bylaws would be changed to the Fifth Amended and Restated Bylaws of CBOE. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes the proposed amendment is consistent with the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange E:\FR\FM\31MYN1.SGM 31MYN1 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 105 / Thursday, May 31, 2012 / Notices and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.3 Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed amendment is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) 4 requirements that the rules of an exchange be designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts, to remove impediments to and to perfect the mechanism for a free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. The proposed amendment would protect investors and the public interest by clarifying the Bylaws to change the name of an Exchange committee to one that more accurately reflects the committee’s current functions. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition CBOE 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. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the proposed rule change. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 5 of the Act and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b–4 6 thereunder. 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. srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES IV.
