In the Matter of QSGI Inc.; Order of Suspension of Trading, 52097-52098 [2014-20889]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 169 / Tuesday, September 2, 2014 / Notices ISE Gemini’s affiliated exchange, ISE, recently adopted Sweep Orders in a filing that will become effective on September 1, 2014, and order handling for this order type is provided for in rules that will be incorporated by reference into ISE Gemini rules. The introduction of Sweep Orders on ISE Gemini will facilitate the routing of Public Customer and Non-Customer Orders, and will allow Members to quickly access available liquidity on ISE Gemini and away markets. The proposed rule change removes impediments to and perfects the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system because it clarifies ISE Gemini rules, which as stated above will incorporate order handing for Sweep Orders, by adopting a definition for this order type. Furthermore, ISE Gemini believes that it is in the public interest to allow market makers to enter Sweep Orders in their appointed options classes so that they can use this order type to access liquidity on ISE Gemini and other options exchanges. Under ISE Gemini Rules, Market Makers are permitted to provide resting liquidity in their appointed classes through the use of quotes entered in compliance with Rule 804. In order to access liquidity provided by other firms, however, Market Makers use IOC and other order types that do not rest on the regular order book.8 Because any portion of a Sweep Order that is not executed is cancelled, the proposed addition of Sweep Orders to the list of order types that market makers may use in their appointed classes is generally consistent with Rule 805(a), which was intended to prevent market makers from having both standing limit orders and quotes in the same options class. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 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 as it merely defines an order type that will be available on the Exchange, and allows market makers to enter this order type, consistent with treatment on the ISE. With the introduction of Sweep Orders, both Public Customer and NonCustomer Orders will be able to use this order type to quickly access betterpriced liquidity on ISE Gemini and other competing markets. 8 See supra note 4. VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:57 Aug 29, 2014 Jkt 232001 C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit, comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested parties. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action Because the foregoing 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 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)(ii) of the Act 9 and subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b–4 thereunder.10 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. If the Commission takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved. 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.
