requirements for the collection and

non-substantive correction to Exchange

numbered in the initial proposed rule
change as the last rule within Chapter
XI of the Exchange’s rulebook is Rule
11.20, Obligations of Market Makers.
The Exchange now propose to renumber
it as Rule 11.21 in order to have
consecutively numbered rules within
Chapter XI of its rulebook. Other than
renumbering the rule as proposed
herein, the Exchange does not proposes
to amend any of the provisions of
current Rule 11.27.
The proposed rule change will be
effective on April 4, 2016.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its
proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)
of the Act 7 in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act 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
facilitating transactions in securities, 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 Exchange believes
that this proposal is consistent with the
Act because it ensures consecutively
numbered rules within Chapter XI of its
rulebook, thereby clarifying the
Exchange’s rulebook and avoiding
potential investor confusion.
(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 notes that the proposed rule
change is not intended to have a
competitive impact. It is simply
intended to ensure consecutively
numbered rules within Chapter XI of its
rulebook and does not amend any of the
provisions of current Rule 11.27.
exemption from certain provisions of the Plan
related to data collection. See letter from Marcia E.
Asquith, Senior Vice President and Corporate
Secretary, FINRA dated December 9, 2015 to Robert
W. Errett, Deputy Secretary, Commission
(‘‘Exemption Request’’). The Commission, pursuant
to its authority under Rule 608(e) of Regulation
NMS, granted the Exchange a limited exemption
from the requirement to comply with certain
provisions of the Plan as specified in the letter and
noted herein. See letter from David Shillman,
Associate Director, Division of Trading and
Markets, Commission to Eric Swanson, General
Counsel, Exchange, dated March 22, 2016
(‘‘Exemption Letter’’). While the Exemption Letter
references current Exchange Rule 11.27, the
Exchange understands it will continue to apply to
the rule when renumbered as Rule 11.21.
