Download as PDF 7882 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 30 / Tuesday, February 16, 2016 / Notices the proposal will provide market participants with additional protection against erroneous executions. The Exchange does not believe the proposed rule change imposes any burden on intramarket competition as the feature is available to all Limit Orders and quotes of all Participants. Nor will the proposal impose a burden on competition among the options exchanges, because of the vigorous competition for order flow among the options exchanges. The Exchange competes with many other options exchanges. In this highly competitive market, market participants can easily and readily direct order flow to competing venues. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others The Exchange has neither solicited nor received comments on the proposed rule change. 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 17 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.18 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) 19 normally does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b4(f)(6)(iii),20 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 so that the Exchange may implement the proposed rule change without undue mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 17 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).

As required under Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange provided the Commission with written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief description and the 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. 19 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 20 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). 18 17 VerDate Sep<11>2014 22:15 Feb 12, 2016 Jkt 238001 delay. In support of its request, the Exchange states the proposed rule change will provide additional protections against executions that are priced significantly away from the market as a result of human or operational error. The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the operative delay and designates the proposed rule change operative upon filing.21 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.

The text of those 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 parts of such statements. A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and the Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 990NY (Definitions Related to Order Protection and Locked and Crossed Markets) to correct a typographical error. Specifically, in Rule 990NY(8), regarding the definition of an Intermarket Sweep Order, the Exchange proposes to replace the inaccurate reference to ‘‘OTP Holder’’ with ‘‘ATP Holder.’’ OTP Holder refers to individuals on NYSE Arca, Inc. who have been issued an Options Trading Permit on that exchange,4 whereas ATP Holders refer holders of Amex Trading Permits on the Exchange.5 The Exchange inadvertently included the reference to OTP Holder when it adopted the definitions for the Options Plan for Locked/Crossed Markets.6 The proposed rule change would clarify Exchange rules and alleviate any investor confusion. 4 See NYSE Arca Rule 1.1(q) (defining OTP Holder as ‘‘a natural person in good standing who has been issued an OTP’’). 5 See Rule 900.2NY(5) (defining ATP Holder as ‘‘a natural person, sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other organization, in good standing, that has been issued an ATP’’). 6 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 60526 (August 18, 2009), 74 FR 43185 (August 26, 2009) (SR–NYSEAmex–2009–19).

Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that the proposed change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,7 in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5),8 in particular, in that it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitation [sic] transactions in securities, to remove impediments to, and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. Additionally, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) 9 requirement that the rules of an exchange not be designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers. Specifically, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change will remove impediments to and perfect the mechanisms of a free and open market by correcting an inaccurate reference contained in Rule 990NY(8), which would clarify Exchange rules and alleviate any investor confusion. The Exchange believes this additional transparency and clarity removes a potential impediment to, and would contribute to perfecting, the mechanism for a free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, would protect investors and the public interest. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe that this proposed rule change would impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed change is not designed to address any competitive issue but rather to correct an inaccurate reference in Rule 990NY(8), thereby reducing confusion and making the Exchange’s rules easier to understand and navigate.

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 990NY(8) to correct a 
typographical error. The proposed rule change is available on the 
Exchange's Web site at www.nyse.com, at the principal office of the 
Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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 self-regulatory organization 
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 those 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 parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 990NY (Definitions Related to 
Order Protection and Locked and Crossed Markets) to correct a 
typographical error. Specifically, in Rule 990NY(8), regarding the 
definition of an Intermarket Sweep Order, the Exchange proposes to 
replace the inaccurate reference to ``OTP Holder'' with ``ATP Holder.'' 
OTP Holder refers to individuals on NYSE Arca, Inc. who have been 
issued an Options Trading Permit on that exchange,\4\ whereas ATP 
Holders refer holders of Amex Trading Permits on the Exchange.\5\ The 
Exchange inadvertently included the reference to OTP Holder when it 
adopted the definitions for the Options Plan for Locked/Crossed 
Markets.\6\ The proposed rule change would clarify Exchange rules and 
alleviate any investor confusion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See NYSE Arca Rule 1.1(q) (defining OTP Holder as ``a 
natural person in good standing who has been issued an OTP'').
    \5\ See Rule 900.2NY(5) (defining ATP Holder as ``a natural 
person, sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, limited 
liability company or other organization, in good standing, that has 
been issued an ATP'').
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 60526 (August 18, 
2009), 74 FR 43185 (August 26, 2009) (SR-NYSEAmex-2009-19).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed change is consistent with 
Section 6(b) of the Act,\7\ in general, and furthers the objectives of 
Section 6(b)(5),\8\ in particular, in that it is designed to promote 
just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and 
coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling, 
processing information with respect to, and facilitation [sic] 
transactions in securities, to remove impediments to, and perfect the 
mechanism of a free and open market and, in general, to protect 
investors and the public interest. Additionally, the Exchange believes 
the proposed rule change is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) \9\ 
requirement that the rules of an exchange not be designed to permit 
unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \9\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Specifically, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change 
will remove impediments to and perfect the mechanisms of a free and 
open market by correcting an inaccurate reference contained in Rule 
990NY(8), which would clarify Exchange rules and alleviate any investor 
confusion. The Exchange believes this additional transparency and 
clarity removes a potential impediment to, and would contribute to 
perfecting, the mechanism for a free and open market and a national 
market system, and, in general, would protect investors and the public 
interest.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that this proposed rule change would 
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in 
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed change is not 
designed to address any competitive issue but rather to correct an 
inaccurate reference in Rule 990NY(8), thereby reducing confusion and 
making the Exchange's rules easier to understand and navigate. The 
Exchange believes that the proposed rule change will serve to promote 
regulatory clarity and consistency, thereby reducing burdens on the 
marketplace and facilitating investor protection.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the 
proposed rule change.

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 \10\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\11\ 
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.

    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). As required under Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange provided the Commission with written 
notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a 
brief description and the 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \12\ normally 
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the 
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b4(f)(6)(iii),\13\ 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 so that the Exchange 
may correct inaccurate references in its rules without undue delay. The 
Exchange believes that the proposed rule change will promote clarity in 
its rules and help eliminate potential investor confusion, consistent 
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The 
Commission agrees and has determined to waive the 30-day operative date 
so that the proposal may take effect upon filing.\14\

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule 
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule 
change if

[[Page 7884]]

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 under 
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \15\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed 
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
