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 Because the foregoing proposed rule does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, the proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 15 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder. The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay. The rule change specifies that proprietary traders who have qualified by taking the Series 56 exam or receiving a waiver of the Series 56 examination requirement, must take the S 501 continuing education program. The Exchange has represented that the S 501 continuing education will be available on August 19, 2013. Waiver of the operative delay will enable those registered persons required to take the S 501 continuing education to do so as soon as the program becomes available, enabling them to comply with their continuing education requirements in a timely manner, and thus is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. Therefore, the Commission designates the proposal operative upon filing.16 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. If the Commission takes such action, the 15 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay, the Commission has considered the proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation.

The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. I.

Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose On April 24, 2013, the Exchange filed a rule change, which became effective on that date, to amend Rule 506 to make available to subscribers of its MIAX Top of Market (‘‘ToM’’) data feed the quantity of Priority Customer contracts included in the MIAX Best Bid and Offer (‘‘MBBO’’) disseminated by the Exchange.3 The proposed rule change in that filing became effective on filing and was set to become operative by July 10, 2013. Pursuant to the previously filed rule change, the Exchange announced via a Regulatory Circular an implementation date of July 10, 2013.4 The purpose of this rule filing is to delay the operative date of the change to Rule 506 in rule filing SR–MIAX– 2013–18 until MIAX has completed the necessary changes to its ToM data feed. The Exchange will announce the implementation date of the proposed rule change in a Regulatory Circular to be published no later than 30 days following the publication of the notice in the Federal Register. The implementation date will be no later than 30 days following the publication of the Regulatory Circular announcing publication of the notice in the Federal Register. 2. Statutory Basis mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,5 in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,6 in particular, because it is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, and to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system. Additionally, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) requirement that the rules of an exchange not be designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers. 3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 69518 (May 6, 2013) 78 FR 27462 (May 10, 2013) (SR– MIAX–2013–18). 4 See MIAX Regulatory Circular 2013–32 available at https://www.miaxoptions.com/sites/ default/files/circular-files/MIAX_RC_2013_32.pdf 5 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). 6 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:00 Jul 26, 2013 Jkt 229001 In particular, the Exchange believes that delaying the operative date of this change to its ToM data feed will protect investors because it will provide the Exchange with sufficient time to complete its system work and perform sufficient testing that is necessary to ensure that this new feature will function as described in rule filing SR– MIAX–2013–18. 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 not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. This proposed rule change delays the operative date of the change to the Exchange’s ToM data feed, and the Exchange will announce the new operative date in a Regulatory Circular that is available for all Exchange members. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received from Members, Participants, or Others Written comments were neither solicited nor received. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 7 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.8 Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder. A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 9 normally does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the filing. However, pursuant U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii). CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b– 4(f)(6) requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the Exchange’s 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 of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The Exchange has satisfied this requirement. 9 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6).

The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay to allow the Exchange sufficient time to update and test its system to accommodate the technical functionality that was the subject of the recent proposed rule change discussed above. The Commission finds that such waiver is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, because without such waiver, the proposed delay of the implementation date could not become operative for 30 days, and pursuant to the Exchange’s previously issued Regulatory Circular,11 the amendment to Rule 506 would therefore become operative on July 10, 2013.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange is filing a proposal to delay the operative date of a 
recent change to Rule 506. There are no proposed changes to the rule 
text.

II. 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.

[[Page 45587]]

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    On April 24, 2013, the Exchange filed a rule change, which became 
effective on that date, to amend Rule 506 to make available to 
subscribers of its MIAX Top of Market (``ToM'') data feed the quantity 
of Priority Customer contracts included in the MIAX Best Bid and Offer 
(``MBBO'') disseminated by the Exchange.\3\ The proposed rule change in 
that filing became effective on filing and was set to become operative 
by July 10, 2013. Pursuant to the previously filed rule change, the 
Exchange announced via a Regulatory Circular an implementation date of 
July 10, 2013.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 69518 (May 6, 2013) 
78 FR 27462 (May 10, 2013) (SR-MIAX-2013-18).
    \4\ See MIAX Regulatory Circular 2013-32 available at https://www.miaxoptions.com/sites/default/files/circular-files/MIAX_RC_2013_32.pdf
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The purpose of this rule filing is to delay the operative date of 
the change to Rule 506 in rule filing SR-MIAX-2013-18 until MIAX has 
completed the necessary changes to its ToM data feed. The Exchange will 
announce the implementation date of the proposed rule change in a 
Regulatory Circular to be published no later than 30 days following the 
publication of the notice in the Federal Register. The implementation 
date will be no later than 30 days following the publication of the 
Regulatory Circular announcing publication of the notice in the Federal 
Register.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent 
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\5\ in general, and furthers the 
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\6\ in particular, because it 
is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, 
to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster 
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating 
transactions in securities, and to remove impediments to and perfect 
the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system. 
Additionally, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is 
consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) requirement that the rules of an 
exchange not be designed to permit unfair discrimination between 
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In particular, the Exchange believes that delaying the operative 
date of this change to its ToM data feed will protect investors because 
it will provide the Exchange with sufficient time to complete its 
system work and perform sufficient testing that is necessary to ensure 
that this new feature will function as described in rule filing SR-
MIAX-2013-18.

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 not necessary or appropriate in 
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. This proposed rule change 
delays the operative date of the change to the Exchange's ToM data 
feed, and the Exchange will announce the new operative date in a 
Regulatory Circular that is available for all Exchange members.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed 
Rule Change Received from Members, Participants, or Others

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 
Commission Action

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section 
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\8\ 
Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the 
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any 
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to 
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as 
the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of 
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become 
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6) 
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the 
Exchange's 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 of the proposed rule 
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The 
Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \9\ normally 
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the 
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\10\ the Commission 
may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the 
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked 
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay to allow the 
Exchange sufficient time to update and test its system to accommodate 
the technical functionality that was the subject of the recent proposed 
rule change discussed above. The Commission finds that such waiver is 
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, 
because without such waiver, the proposed delay of the implementation 
date could not become operative for 30 days, and pursuant to the 
Exchange's previously issued Regulatory Circular,\11\ the amendment to 
Rule 506 would therefore become operative on July 10, 2013. As noted, 
the Exchange has represented that it needs additional time to develop 
the technical functionality needed for that rule change. Accordingly, 
the Commission hereby grants the Exchange's request and designates the 
proposal operative upon filing.\12\

    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \11\ See supra note 4.
    \12\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay, 
the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on 
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
