Interagency Task Force on Veterans Small Business Development; Notice of Meeting, 71471-71472 [2012-28914]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 231 / Friday, November 30, 2012 / Notices perfect the mechanism of a free and open market in a way that benefits market participants and enables them to execute their orders on the Exchange. The proposed rule change contributes to the protection of investors and the public interest by maintaining the narrow-width quote bid-ask differentials for the Auction Process, which provides price protection for customers and other market participants when they have executable orders and quotes prior to the opening of a series on the Exchange. The proposal would provide fair and orderly means to open a series when the Exchange does not have sufficient executable quotes and/or orders to conduct an Auction Process and would reasonably ensure that the Exchange does not open the series at a price that is beyond the price at which Market Makers are permitted to quote for the series during the Core Trading Session, which also contributes to the protection of investors and the public interest, generally. The proposed rule change is also designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade because it would permit the Exchange to open a series in a manner that is more consistent with the opening of individual series on other option exchanges.13 B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange 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. wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES C.
