Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 30 / Wednesday, February 15, 2017 / Notices based on existing provisions of current Rule 440H—Equities relating to Activity Assessment Fees without any substantive differences. The Exchange proposes to move the rule text to Rule 2.17E to use rule numbering for Pillar that is consistent with the Framework Filing, with non-substantive differences to use Pillar terminology, and not move obsolete rule text. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed change is designed to propose rules to support the Exchange’s new Pillar trading platform, which would be a fully automated cash equities trading market that trades all NMS Stocks and is based on the rules of NYSE Arca Equities. The Exchange operates in a highly competitive environment in which its unaffiliated exchange competitors operate multiple affiliated exchanges that operate under common rules. By moving the Exchange to a fully automated trading model that trades all NMS Stocks, the Exchange believes that it will be able to compete on a more level playing field with its exchange competitors that similarly trade all NMS Stocks on fully automated trading models. In addition, by basing its rules on those of NYSE Arca Equities, the Exchange will provide its members with consistency across affiliated exchanges, thereby enabling the Exchange to compete with unaffiliated exchange competitors that similarly operate multiple exchanges on the same trading platforms. 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. mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES III.
