Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Request, 57178-57180 [2012-22843]

Download as PDF 57178 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 180 / Monday, September 17, 2012 / Notices CBOE Rule 17.50(g)(7) imposes fines for failure to submit trade data on the trade date. On C2, such trade data is submitted automatically (and the Exchange represents that C2 has appropriate systems in place to ensure that trade data is submitted in a timely manner), rendering CBOE Rule 17.50(g)(7) inapplicable. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.5 Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5)6 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. By correcting references and removing inapplicable sections within Rule 17.50 and Interpretation and Policy .06 to Rule 4.11, the Exchange eliminates confusion that could arise from reading Exchange rules, thereby removing impediments to and perfecting the mechanism for a free and open market. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition C2 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. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: A. Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; B. Impose any significant burden on competition; and C. Become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 7 of the Act and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 8 thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of this 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. 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 email to rulecomments@sec.gov.
