The Commission believes that the proposal will help protect investors and the public interest by, among other things, increasing the size and diversity of the FINRA arbitrator pool from which parties can select a panel. The Commission believes that expanding investor choice in the arbitrator selection process improves efficiency and enhances the integrity of the forum. In addition, the Commission believes that FINRA’s response to commenters, as discussed in more detail above, appropriately addressed their concerns and adequately explained FINRA’s reasons for declining to modify its proposal. Accordingly, the Commission believes that the approach proposed by FINRA is appropriate and designed to protect investors and the public interest, consistent with Section 15A(b)(6) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. V. Conclusion It is therefore ordered pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Exchange Act that the proposal (SR–FINRA–2017– 025), be and hereby is approved. 67 For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.68 Eduardo A.
