Self-Regulatory Organizations; The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC; Notice of Designation of a Longer Period for Commission Action on Proposed Rule Change Relating to the Listing and Trading of Shares of the First Trust SSI Strategic Convertible Securities ETF of First Trust Exchange-Traded Fund IV, 54351-54352 [2015-22608]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 174 / Wednesday, September 9, 2015 / Notices for certain exceptions, including that any order 14 received with a routing instruction (as defined in Nasdaq Rule 4758) prior to the opening of trading in the ETMF security will be automatically canceled and returned. Also, the proposed rule seeks to clarify that certain Time-in-Force Order Attributes (as defined in Nasdaq Rule 4703) are not applicable for ETMF securities and include the following orders: GTC, MGTC, and SGTC Orders.15 The Exchange believes that, because this proposed rule change clarifies for all market participants exactly what types of Order Attributes are permissible for ETMF Shares and thereby reduces possible confusion in the trading of ETMF Shares, it will facilitate transactions in securities, remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, help to protect investors and the public interest. The proposed rule change is not designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers. For the above reasons, Nasdaq believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act.16 B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change will assist in the introduction of ETMFs through clarifying for all market participants exactly what types of Order Attributes are permissible for ETMF Shares and will reduce possible confusion in the trading of ETMF Shares.

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 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 14 See Nasdaq Rule 4701(e). Nasdaq Rule 4703(a)(3). 16 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). 15 See VerDate Sep<11>2014 14:19 Sep 08, 2015 Jkt 235001 which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b– 4(f)(6) thereunder.17 A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b–4(f)(6) under the Act 18 normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date of its filing. However, Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii)19 permits the Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. 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.
