The only non-displayed order type that the Exchange offers is the all-or-none order, which is nondisplayed in the sense that it is not included in the ISE best bid and offer, and therefore, is not included in the NBBO. However, AONs are disseminated via the ISE Order Feed, allowing market participants to know of the existence of the AONs and thereby removing any expectation that AONs are truly non-displayed. Accordingly, Members entering AONs do not have an expectation that their AON is nondisplayed and would not have concerns that this modification of the ALO’s functionality could provide market participants with the ability to ferret out AONs on the ISE limit order book which would otherwise be hidden.

The proposed bridge crossing would span approximately 2,800 feet or 0.53 miles.

Michigan would grant a lease or another property interest to the Crossing Authority for these purposes. The Department’s jurisdiction with respect to this application is based upon Executive Order 11423, dated August 16, 1968, as amended, and the International Bridge Act of 1972 (Pub.
