The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register on April 6, 2015.3 The Commission received no comment letters regarding the proposed rule change. On May 13, 2015, the Commission extended to July 5, 2015, the time period in which to approve the proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved.4 On June 22, 2015, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change.5 This order approves the proposed rule change, as amended, on an accelerated basis. II. Description of the Amended Proposal The Exchange proposes to amend and restate certain Phlx rules that govern PSX in order to provide additional detail and clarity regarding its order type functionality.6 This proposed rule change is a response to Chair White’s request that each equities exchange conduct a comprehensive review of the 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). CFR 240.19b–4. 3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 74618 (March 31, 2015), 80 FR 18452 (‘‘Notice’’). 4 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 74954, 80 FR 28739 (May 19, 2015). 5 In Amendment No. 1, the Exchange proposed to correct typographical errors in the original filing, further improve the clarity of certain rule language, and include additional explanation with regard to the purpose of the proposed rule change. 6 See Notice, 80 FR at 18452–53. 2 17 PO 00000 Frm 00109 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 37327 operation of each of the order types that it offers to members.7 While the Exchange believes that its current rules and other public disclosures provide a comprehensive description of the operation of PSX and are sufficient for members and the investing public to have an accurate understanding of its market structure, it also acknowledges that a restatement of certain rules will further clarify the operation of its system.8 For instance, Phlx believes that adding examples of order type operation to its rules will promote greater understanding of the Exchange’s market structure.9 In addition, Phlx asserts that certain functionality previously described as an ‘‘order type’’ is more precisely characterized as an attribute that may be added to a particular order.10 Accordingly, this proposed rule change distinguishes between ‘‘Order Types’’ and ‘‘Order Attributes,’’ and provides descriptions of the Order Attributes that may be attached to particular Order Types.11 Currently, Phlx Rule 3301 (Definitions) sets forth most of the rules governing Order Types and Order Attributes, as well as other defined terms that pertain to trading securities on PSX.12 Phlx proposes to amend Rule 3301. Phlx also proposes to amend the definitions pertaining to Order Types and Order Attributes and to relocate them from Rule 3301 to new Rules 3301A (Order Types) and 3301B (Order Attributes), respectively.13 In addition, Phlx proposes to delete Rule 3305 as the information contained therein is superseded by proposed Rules 3301A and 3301B.14 Lastly, Phlx proposes certain conforming and technical changes to Rule 3306.15 Phlx represents that, except where specifically stated otherwise, all proposed rules are restatements of existing rules and are not intended to reflect substantive changes to rule text or the operation of PSX.16 Proposed Rule 3301A related to Order Types 7 See id. at 18453; see also Mary Jo White, Chair, Commission, Speech at the Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P. Global Exchange and Brokerage Conference (June 5, 2014), available at https:// www.sec.gov/News/Speech/Detail/Speech/ 1370542004312. 8 See Notice, 80 FR at 18453. 9 Id. 10 Id. 11 Id. 12 See Rule 3301. 13 See proposed Rules 3301A and 3301B. 14 See Rule 3305. 15 Phlx states that, in subsequent proposed rule changes, it plans to restate the remainder of its Rules numbered 3302 through 3316 so that they appear sequentially following Rule 3301B. 16 See Notice, 80 FR at 18453.
