The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register on June 9, 2017.3 The Commission received no comments on the proposed rule change. This order grants approval of the proposed rule change. II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change CBOE Rule 6.18 contains the Exchange’s rules relating to disaster recovery, including provisions intended to comply with Regulation Systems Compliance and Integrity (‘‘Regulation SCI’’) concerning business continuity and disaster recovery plans.4 The Exchange has proposed to amend Rule 6.18 to provide the Exchange authority to take additional steps that it deems necessary to preserve the Exchange’s ability to conduct business and maintain fair and orderly markets in the event of a significant systems failure, disaster, or other unusual circumstances. Specifically, the Exchange has proposed to amend Rule 6.18 to allow the Exchange to: (1) Establish specified additional temporary requirements for Designated BCP/DR Participants 5 during use of the back-up data center; (2) temporarily allow trading in its exclusively-licensed and/ or proprietary products, on a class-byclass basis, in an exclusively floor-based environment via open outcry if the Exchange’s primary and back-up data centers both are inoperable or otherwise unavailable; (3) temporarily deactivate certain systems or systems functionalities that are not essential to conducting business on the Exchange if there is a systems disruption or malfunction, security intrusion, systems compliance issue, or other unusual circumstances; and (4) temporarily restrict a Trade Permit Holder’s or associated person’s access to the U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

See Rule 6.18(b)(iv)(A). ‘‘Trading Permit Holder’’ has the meaning set forth in Section 1.1(f) of CBOE’s Bylaws. Designated BCP/DR Participants include, at a minimum, all Market-Makers in option classes exclusively listed on the Exchange that stream quotes in such classes and all Designated Primary Market-Makers (‘‘DPMs’’) in multiply listed option classes.

First, the Exchange has proposed to adopt new Rule 6.18(b)(iv)(B), which would provide that, during the use of the back-up data center, if necessary for the maintenance of fair and orderly markets, the Exchange may: (1) Establish heightened quoting obligations for Designated BCP/DR Participants in a class in which the Designated BCP/DR Participant is already an appointed Market-Maker 6 or Lead Market-Maker 7 up to the standards specified for Designated Primary Market-Makers 8 in Rule 8.85(a); 9 and/or (2) disallow BCP/ DR Participants the ability to deselect an appointment intraday in a class in which the BCP/DR Participant is already an appointed Market-Maker. The Exchange would be required to notify market participants of any of these additional temporary requirements prior to implementing them.10 Next, the Exchange has proposed to adopt new Rule 6.18(c), which would provide that, if the Exchange’s primary and back-up data centers become inoperable or otherwise unavailable for use due to a significant systems failure, disaster, or other unusual circumstances, in the interests of maintaining fair and orderly markets or for the protection of investors, the Exchange would be able to operate in an exclusively floor-based environment on a limited basis for certain classes. Specifically, the Exchange could 6 A Market-Maker is an individual Trading Permit Holder or TPH organization that is registered with the Exchange for the purpose of making transactions as a dealer-specialist on the Exchange in accordance with the provisions of Chapter VIII of the Rules. See Rule 8.1. A ‘‘TPH organization’’ is an organization that meets the requirements set forth in Rule 3.3. 7 The Exchange may appoint one or more MarketMakers in a class to serve as Lead Market-Makers (‘‘LMMs’’). See Rule 8.15(a). 8 A DPM is a TPH organization that is approved by the Exchange to function in allocated securities as a Market-Maker and is subject to the obligations under Rule 8.85. See Rule 8.80. 9 With respect to their allocated series, DPMs must, among other things, provide continuous electronic quotes in the lesser of 99 percent of the non-adjusted option series or 100 percent of the non-adjusted option series minus one call-put pair, with the term ‘‘call-put pair’’ referring to one call and one put the cover the same underlying instrument and have the same expiration date and exercise price, and assure that its disseminated market quotations are accurate. See Rule 8.85(a)(i). 10 See proposed Rule 6.18(b)(iv)(B). The proposal would also renumber existing subparagraphs (B) and (C) of Rule 6.18(b)(iv) as subparagraphs (C) and (D), respectively. See proposed Rule 6.18(b)(iv)(C) and (D). E:\FR\FM\26JYN1.SGM 26JYN1
