The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The Exchange proposes to amend prior rule change, SR–Phlx–2016–38,3 which inadvertently contained the incorrect Exhibit 3. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange’s Web site at https://nasdaqomxphlx. cchwallstreet.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 Exchange 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 these 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 aspects of such statements. 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). 2 17 CFR 240.19b–4. 3 See Securities and Exchange Act Release No. 77475 (Match 30, 2016), 81 FR 19664 (April 5, 2016) (SR–Phlx–2016–36) [sic]. VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:44 Sep 06, 2016 Jkt 238001 The Exchange proposes to amend the previously submitted filing SR–Phlx– 2016–38, which contained an incorrect version of the Exchange’s membership application as Exhibit 3. This rule filing seeks to provide the current membership application in Exhibit 3(a) which became operative on July 1, 2016. Following the filing of SR–PHLX– 2016–38 the Exchange continued to use the ‘‘legacy’’ membership application though June 30, 2016 which is contained in Exhibit 3, however, the Exchange did not receive any membership applications. The membership application which is contained in Exhibit 3(a) and was filed on May 2 [sic], 2016 as part of SR– PHLX–2016–38 is a new consolidated membership form which is applicable to The Nasdaq Stock Market, Nasdaq BX, and Nasdaq PHLX which went into effect following the effectiveness of Rule 921(b) and does not require the Executive Representative of a PHLX member firm to provide evidence of their designation as the Executive Representative. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,4 in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,5 in particular, in that it is designed to protect investors and the public interest by streamlining various aspects of the membership process. The filing of the updated membership form will promote just and equitable principles of trade, and foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities by eliminating confusion among forms. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate 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.
