I. Introduction On July 9, 2014, NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC (‘‘Phlx’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) 1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’),2 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,3 a proposed rule change to allow $1 or greater strike price intervals for options on the SPDR® S&P 500® Exchange Traded Fund (‘‘SPY’’) and the SPDR® Dow Jones® Industrial Average Exchange Traded Fund (‘‘DIA’’) for strike prices above $200. On July 22, 2014, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposal. The proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, was published for comment in the Federal Register on July 30, 2014.4 The Commission received three comment letters on the proposal.5 This order U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

SUMMARY: 14:29 Sep 04, 2014 Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC; Order Granting Approval of Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 1, Relating to SPY and DIA Options 1 15 Postal ServiceTM. ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 [Release No. 34–72949; File No. SR–Phlx– 2014–46] Jkt 232001 PO 00000 Frm 00075 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 53089 approves the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1. II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change Under current Phlx Rule 1012 (Series of Options Open for Trading), the interval of strike prices of series of options on Exchange Traded Fund (‘‘ETF’’) Shares is $1 or greater where the strike price is $200 or less and $5 or greater where the strike price is more than $200.6 The Exchange proposes to narrow those strike intervals by amending Commentary .05(a)(iv)(C) to Rule 1012 to allow trading of SPY and DIA options in $1 strike intervals where the strike price is above $200. With regard to the impact of the proposal on system capacity, the Exchange states that it has analyzed its capacity and represents that it and the Options Price Reporting Authority (‘‘OPRA’’) have the necessary systems capacity to handle any potential additional traffic associated with this proposed rule change.7 In addition, the Exchange states that it believes that its members will not experience a capacity issue as a result of this proposal.8 Furthermore, the Exchange states that it does not believe the proposed rule change will cause fragmentation of liquidity.9 III. Discussion and Commission Findings After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange.10 In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,11 which requires, among other things, that the rules of a national securities exchange be designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. The Commission believes that the proposed change may provide the investing public and other market participants more flexibility to closely tailor their investment and 6 See 7 See Commentary .05(a)(iv)(A) to Rule 1012. Notice, supra note 4, at 44232. 8 Id. 9 Id. 10 In approving the proposed rule change, the Commission has considered its impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation.
