Description of the Plan Set forth in this Section II is the statement of the purpose and summary of the Fourteenth Amendment, along with the information required by Rule 608(a)(4) and (5) under the Exchange Act,8 prepared and submitted by the Participants to the Commission.9 A. Statement of Purpose and Summary of the Plan Amendment The Participants filed the Plan on April 5, 2011, to create a market-wide limit up-limit down mechanism intended to address extraordinary market volatility in NMS Stocks, as defined in Rule 600(b)(47) of Regulation NMS under the Exchange Act. The Plan sets forth procedures that provide for market-wide limit up-limit down requirements that would prevent trades in individual NMS Stocks from occurring outside of the specified price bands. These limit up-limit down requirements are coupled with Trading Pauses,10 as defined in Section I(Y) of the Plan, to accommodate more fundamental price moves. In particular, the Participants adopted this Plan to address the type of sudden price movements that the market experienced on the afternoon of May 6, 2010. As set forth in more detail in the Plan, all trading centers in NMS Stocks, including both those operated by Participants and those operated by members of Participants, shall establish, maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to comply with the limit uplimit down requirements specified in the Plan. More specifically, the Processor responsible for consolidation of information for an NMS Stock pursuant to Rule 603(b) of Regulation NMS under the Exchange Act will be responsible for calculating and disseminating a lower price band and upper price band, as provided for in Section V of the Plan. Section VI of the Plan sets forth the limit up-limit down requirements of the Plan, and in particular, that all trading centers in NMS Stocks, including both those operated by Participants and those operated by members of Participants, 6 17 CFR 242.608(b)(3)(iii).

The changes approved by the Commission in the twelfth amendment to the Plan provide that a Trading Pause will continue until the Primary Listing Exchange has reopened trading using its established reopening procedures, and to require that trading centers not resume trading in an NMS Stock following a Trading Pause without Price Bands for such NMS Stock. In the Statement of Purpose filed with the twelfth amendment, the Participants stated that the changes described in the twelfth amendment would be implemented no later than six months after approval of that amendment. Based on the fourteenth amendment to the Plan, the twelfth amendment must be implemented no later than the end of the third quarter of 2017. Because the SIP technology changes necessary to implement the twelfth amendment to the Plan and the Amendment 13 Changes will not be ready by September 30, 2017, the Participants are filing this proposal to change the implementation date for the changes to the Plan set forth in the twelfth amendment and the Amendment 13 Changes to no later than November 30, 2017. Specifically, the CQS and CTA SIPs are in the process of upgrading to binary message type formats over their multicast channels and the changes described in the twelfth and thirteenth amendments to the Plan are scheduled to be implemented together with these upgrades. SIAC has announced revised implementation dates for the implementation of the CQS and CTA new binary formats, which impacts the implementation dates for SIAC’s implementation of the twelfth amendment to the Plan and the Amendment 13 Changes.11 Because of a dependency on certain SIP technology changes, certain Primary Listing Exchanges will not be ready to implement the changes to their automated reopening processes following a Trading Pause, which were made pursuant to exchange rule filings in conjunction with the twelfth amendment to the Plan, by September 30, 2017. To provide for a standardized approach that would allow for extensions of a Trading Pause by the 11 See Updated CQS and CTS Multicast Output Binary Formats: Testing and Implementation Schedule Update 7, available here: https:// www.nyse.com/publicdocs/ctaplan/notifications/ trader-update/CTS_CQS%20New%20Binary%20 Formats_Update_v7_06262017.pdf. PO 00000 Frm 00129 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 45923 Primary Listing Exchange if equilibrium cannot be met to establish a Reopening Price within specified parameters (‘‘automated reopening changes’’), the Primary Listing Exchanges amended their rules for automated reopenings.12 The Primary Listing Exchanges anticipate implementing the automated reopening changes commensurate with implementation of the twelfth amendment to the Plan and the Amendment 13 Changes.13 Accordingly, both to provide time to support the technology changes for the twelfth amendment to the Plan and to align the implementation date of the twelfth amendment and the Amendment 13 Changes with the implementation timeline for the automated reopening changes by the Primary Listing Exchanges, the Participants propose to change the implementation date for the changes in the twelfth amendment to the Plan and the Amendment 13 Changes to no later than November 30, 2017. This proposed change does not require any changes to the text of the Plan. The Participants believe that the proposed modification to the implementation schedule is technical and ministerial in nature because it simply extends the implementation period for the twelfth amendment to the Plan and does not change any substantive elements of the Plan.14 The Participants believe that the proposal to extend the implementation schedule is consistent with the goal of the twelfth amendment to the Plan, which is to reduce the potential for sequential Trading Pauses in an NMS Stock by centralizing the reopening process through the Primary Listing Exchanges, because it would align the implementation schedule for the twelfth amendment to the Plan with the implementation schedule for the automated reopening changes. The proposed amendment would therefore protect investors and the public interest 12 See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 79846 (January 19, 2017), 82 FR 8548 (January 26, 2017) (SR–NYSEArca–2016–130) (Approval Order); 79884 (January 26, 2017), 82 FR 8968 (February 1, 2017) (SR–BatsBZX–2016–61) (Approval Order); 79876 (January 25, 2017), 82 FR 8888 (January 31, 2017) (SR–Nasdaq–2016–131) (Approval Order). 13 In other words, the Participants expect that both the changes pursuant to the twelfth amendment and the Primary Listing Exchange automated reopening changes would become operative at the same time. 14 See, e.g., Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 70273 (amending Section VIII.B of the Plan to establish a new implementation schedule for Phase II of the Plan) and 71247 (amending Section VIII.B of the Plan to establish a new implementation schedule for Phase II of the Plan), supra note 1.

Governing or Constituent Documents The governing documents of the Processor, as defined in Section I(P) of the Plan, will not be affected by the Plan, but once the Plan is implemented, the Processor’s obligations will change, as set forth in detail in the Plan. C. Implementation of Plan The initial date of the Plan operations was April 8, 2013. D. Development and Implementation Phases The Plan was initially implemented as a one-year pilot program in two Phases, consistent with Section VIII of the Plan: Phase I of Plan implementation began on April 8, 2013 and was completed on May 3, 2013. Implementation of Phase II of the Plan began on August 5, 2013 and was completed on February 24, 2014. The tenth amendment to the Plan was implemented on July 18, 2016. Pursuant to the proposed thirteenth amendment to the Plan, the Participants propose [sic] to extend the pilot period until April 16, 2018.15 Currently, the Participants must implement the twelfth amendment to the Plan to no later than the end of the third quarter of 2017. Pursuant to this proposed amendment, the Participants propose to extend the time frame to implement the twelfth amendment to the Plan and the Amendment 13 Changes to no later than November 30, 2017. E. Analysis of Impact on Competition The proposed Plan does not impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Exchange Act. The Participants do not believe that the proposed Plan introduces terms that are unreasonably discriminatory for the purposes of Section 11A(c)(1)(D) of the Exchange Act. sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES F.

(3) Any recommendation for an amendment to the Plan from the Operating Committee that receives an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the Participants, but is less than unanimous, shall be submitted to the SEC as a request for an amendment to the Plan initiated by the Commission under Rule 608 of Regulation NMS. IV. Trading Center Policies and Procedures All trading centers in NMS Stocks, including both those operated by Participants and those operated by members of Participants, shall establish, maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to comply with the limit up—limit down requirements specified in Sections VI of the Plan, and to comply with the Trading Pauses specified in Section VII of the Plan. V. Price Bands (A) Calculation and Dissemination of Price Bands (1) The Processor for each NMS stock shall calculate and disseminate to the public a Lower Price Band and an Upper Price Band during Regular Trading Hours for such NMS Stock. The Price Bands shall be based on a Reference Price for each NMS Stock that equals the arithmetic mean price of Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS stock over the immediately preceding five-minute period (except for periods following openings and reopenings, which are addressed below). If no Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS Stock have occurred over the immediately preceding five-minute period, the previous Reference Price shall remain in effect. The Price Bands for an NMS Stock shall be calculated by applying the Percentage Parameter for such NMS Stock to the Reference Price, with the Lower Price Band being a Percentage Parameter below the Reference Price, and the Upper Price Band being a Percentage Parameter above the Reference Price. The Price Bands shall be calculated during Regular Trading Hours. Between 9:30 a.m. and 9:45 a.m. ET, and 3:35 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. ET, or in the case of an early scheduled close, during the last 25 minutes of trading before the early scheduled close, the Price Bands shall be calculated by applying double the Percentage Parameters set forth in Appendix A. If the Processor has not yet disseminated Price Bands, but a Reference Price is available, a trading center may calculate and apply Price Bands based on the same Reference Price that the Processor would use for calculating such Price Bands until such trading center receives Price Bands from the Processor. If, PO 00000 Frm 00132 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 under Section VII(B)(2), the Primary Listing Exchange notifies the Processor that it is unable to reopen an NMS Stock due to a systems or technology issue and it has not declared a Regulatory Halt, the Processor will calculate and disseminate Price Bands by applying triple the Percentage Parameters set forth in Appendix A for the first 30 seconds such Price Bands are disseminated. (2) The Processor shall calculate a ProForma Reference Price on a continuous basis during Regular Trading Hours, as specified in Section V(A)(1) of the Plan. If a Pro-Forma Reference Price has not moved by 1% or more from the Reference Price currently in effect, no new Price Bands shall be disseminated, and the current Reference Price shall remain the effective Reference Price. When the Pro-Forma Reference Price has moved by 1% or more from the Reference Price currently in effect, the Pro-Forma Reference Price shall become the Reference Price, and the Processor shall disseminate new Price Bands based on the new Reference Price; provided, however, that each new Reference Price shall remain in effect for at least 30 seconds. (B) Openings (1) Except when a Regulatory Halt is in effect at the start of Regular Trading Hours, the first Reference Price for a trading day shall be the Opening Price on the Primary Listing Exchange in an NMS Stock if such Opening Price occurs less than five minutes after the start of Regular Trading Hours. During the period less than five minutes after the Opening Price, a Pro-Forma Reference Price shall be updated on a continuous basis to be the arithmetic mean price of Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS Stock during the period following the Opening Price (including the Opening Price), and if it differs from the current Reference Price by 1% or more shall become the new Reference Price, except that a new Reference Price shall remain in effect for at least 30 seconds. Subsequent Reference Prices shall be calculated as specified in Section V(A) of the Plan. (2) If the Opening Price on the Primary Listing Exchange in an NMS Stock does not occur within five minutes after the start of Regular Trading Hours, the first Reference Price for a trading day shall be the arithmetic mean price of Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS Stock over the preceding five minute time period, and subsequent Reference Prices shall be calculated as specified in Section V(A) of the Plan. (C) Reopenings (1) Following a Trading Pause in an NMS Stock, and if the Primary Listing Exchange has not declared a Regulatory Halt, if the Primary Listing Exchange reopens trading with a transaction or quotation that does not include a zero bid or zero offer, the next Reference Price shall be the Reopening Price on the Primary Listing Exchange. Subsequent Reference Prices shall be determined in the manner prescribed for normal openings, as specified in Section V(B)(1) of the Plan. If the Primary Listing Exchange notifies the Processor that it is unable to reopen an NMS Stock due to a systems or technology issue, E:\FR\FM\02OCN1.SGM 02OCN1 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 189 / Monday, October 2, 2017 / Notices or if the Primary Listing Exchange reopens trading with a quotation that has a zero bid or zero offer, or both, the next Reference Price shall be the last effective Price Band that was in a Limit State before the Trading Pause. Subsequent Reference Prices shall be calculated as specified in Section V(A) of the Plan. (2) Following a Regulatory Halt, the next Reference Price shall be the Opening or Reopening Price on the Primary Listing Exchange if such Opening or Reopening Price occurs within five minutes after the end of the Regulatory Halt, and subsequent Reference Prices shall be determined in the manner prescribed for normal openings, as specified in Section V(B)(1) of the Plan. If such Opening or Reopening Price has not occurred within five minutes after the end of the Regulatory Halt, the Reference Price shall be equal to the arithmetic mean price of Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS Stock over the preceding five minute time period, and subsequent Reference Prices shall be calculated as specified in Section V(A) of the Plan. sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES VI. Limit Up—Limit Down Requirements (A) Limitations on Trades and Quotations Outside of Price Bands (1) All trading centers in NMS Stocks, including both those operated by Participants and those operated by members of Participants, shall establish, maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to prevent trades at prices that are below the Lower Price Band or above the Upper Price Band for an NMS Stock. Single-priced opening, reopening, and closing transactions on the Primary Listing Exchange, however, shall be excluded from this limitation. In addition, any transaction that both (i) does not update the last sale price (except if solely because the transaction was reported late or because the transaction was an odd-lot sized transaction), and (ii) is excepted or exempt from Rule 611 under Regulation NMS shall be excluded from this limitation. (2) When a National Best Bid is below the Lower Price Band or a National Best Offer is above the Upper Price Band for an NMS Stock, the Processor shall disseminate such National Best Bid or National Best Offer with an appropriate flag identifying it as nonexecutable. When a National Best Offer is equal to the Lower Price Band or a National Best Bid is equal to the Upper Price Band for an NMS Stock, the Processor shall distribute such National Best Bid or National Best Offer with an appropriate flag identifying it as a ‘‘Limit State Quotation’’. (3) All trading centers in NMS Stocks, including both those operated by Participants and those operated by members of Participants, shall establish, maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to prevent the display of offers below the Lower Price Band and bids above the Upper Price Band for an NMS Stock. The Processor shall disseminate an offer below the Lower Price Band or bid above the Upper Price Band that may be submitted despite such reasonable policies and procedures, but with an appropriate flag identifying it as non-executable; provided, VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:01 Sep 29, 2017 Jkt 244001 however, that any such bid or offer shall not be included in National Best Bid or National Best Offer calculations. (B) Entering and Exiting a Limit State (1) All trading for an NMS Stock shall immediately enter a Limit State if the National Best Offer equals the Lower Price Band and does not cross the National Best Bid, or the National Best Bid equals the Upper Price Band and does not cross the National Best Offer. (2) When trading for an NMS Stock enters a Limit State, the Processor shall disseminate this information by identifying the relevant quotation (i.e., a National Best Offer that equals the Lower Price Band or a National Best Bid that equals the Upper Price Band) as a Limit State Quotation. At this point, the Processor shall cease calculating and disseminating updated Reference Prices and Price Bands for the NMS Stock until either trading exits the Limit State or trading resumes with an opening or re-opening as provided in Section V. (3) Trading for an NMS Stock shall exit a Limit State if, within 15 seconds of entering the Limit State, the entire size of all Limit State Quotations are executed or cancelled. (4) If trading for an NMS Stock exits a Limit State within 15 seconds of entry, the Processor shall immediately calculate and disseminate updated Price Bands based on a Reference Price that equals the arithmetic mean price of Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS Stock over the immediately preceding five-minute period (including the period of the Limit State). (5) If trading for an NMS Stock does not exit a Limit State within 15 seconds of entry, the Limit State will terminate when the Primary Listing Exchange declares a Trading Pause pursuant to Section VII of the Plan or at the end of Regular Trading Hours. VII. Trading Pauses (A) Declaration of Trading Pauses (1) If trading for an NMS Stock does not exit a Limit State within 15 seconds of entry during Regular Trading Hours, then the Primary Listing Exchange shall declare a Trading Pause for such NMS Stock and shall notify the Processor. (2) The Primary Listing Exchange may also declare a Trading Pause for an NMS Stock when an NMS Stock is in a Straddle State, which is when National Best Bid (Offer) is below (above) the Lower (Upper) Price Band and the NMS Stock is not in a Limit State, and trading in that NMS Stock deviates from normal trading characteristics such that declaring a Trading Pause would support the Plan’s goal to address extraordinary market volatility. The Primary Listing Exchange shall develop policies and procedures for determining when it would declare a Trading Pause in such circumstances. If a Trading Pause is declared for an NMS Stock under this provision, the Primary Listing Exchange shall notify the Processor. (3) The Processor shall disseminate Trading Pause information to the public. No trades in an NMS Stock shall occur during a Trading Pause, but all bids and offers may be displayed. PO 00000 Frm 00133 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 45927 (B) Reopening of Trading During Regular Trading Hours (1) Five minutes after declaring a Trading Pause for an NMS Stock, and if the Primary Listing Exchange has not declared a Regulatory Halt, the Primary Listing Exchange shall attempt to reopen trading using its established reopening procedures. The Processor will publish the following information that the Primary Listing Exchange provides to the Processor in connection with such reopening: auction reference price; auction collars; and number of extensions to the reopening auction. The Trading Pause shall end when the Primary Listing Exchange reports a Reopening Price. (2) The Primary Listing Exchange shall notify the Processor if it is unable to reopen trading in an NMS Stock due to a systems or technology issue and if it has not declared a Regulatory Halt. The Processor shall disseminate this information to the public. (3) Trading centers may not resume trading in an NMS Stock following a Trading Pause without Price Bands in such NMS Stock. (4) The Processor shall update the Price Bands as set forth in Section V(C)(1)–(2) of the Plan after receiving notification from the Primary Listing Exchange of a Reopening Price following a Trading Pause (or a resume message in the case of a reopening quote that has a zero bid or zero offer, or both) or that it is unable to reopen trading following a Trading Pause due to a systems or technology issue, provided that if the Primary Listing Exchange is unable to reopen due to a systems or technology issue, the update to the Price Bands will be no earlier than ten minutes after the beginning of the Trading Pause. (C) Trading Pauses Within Ten Minutes of the End of Regular Trading Hours (1) If an NMS Stock is in a Trading Pause during the last ten minutes of trading before the end of Regular Trading Hours, the Primary Listing Exchange shall not reopen trading and shall attempt to execute a closing transaction using its established closing procedures. All trading centers may begin trading the NMS Stock when the Primary Listing Exchange executes a closing transaction. (2) If the Primary Listing Exchange does not execute a closing transaction within five minutes after the end of Regular Trading Hours, all trading centers may begin trading the NMS Stock. VIII. Implementation The initial date of Plan operations shall be April 8, 2013. The Plan shall be implemented on a pilot basis set to end on April 16, 2018. IX. Withdrawal from Plan If a Participant obtains SEC approval to withdraw from the Plan, such Participant may withdraw from the Plan at any time on not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to each of the other Participants. At such time, the withdrawing Participant shall have no further rights or obligations under the Plan. X. Counterparts and Signatures The Plan may be executed in any number of counterparts, no one of which need E:\FR\FM\02OCN1.SGM 02OCN1 45928 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 189 / Monday, October 2, 2017 / Notices contain all signatures of all Participants, and as many of such counterparts as shall together contain all such signatures shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Schedule 1 to the Appendix will be reviewed and updated semi-annually based on the fiscal year by the Primary Listing Exchange to add ETPs that meet the criteria, or delete ETPs that are no longer eligible. To determine eligibility for an ETP to be included as a Tier 1 NMS Stock, all ETPs across multiple asset classes and issuers, including domestic equity, international equity, fixed income, currency, and commodities and futures will be identified. Leveraged ETPs will be excluded and the list will be sorted by notional consolidated average daily volume (‘‘CADV’’). The period used to measure CADV will be from the first day of the previous fiscal half year up until one week before the beginning of the next fiscal half year. Daily volumes will be multiplied by closing prices and then averaged over the period. ETPs, including inverse ETPs, that trade over $2,000,000 CADV will be eligible to be included as a Tier 1 NMS Stock. The semi-annual updates to Schedule 1 do not require an amendment to the Plan. The Primary Listing Exchanges will maintain the updated Schedule 1 on their respective websites. (2) The Percentage Parameters for Tier 1 NMS Stocks with a Reference Price more than $3.00 shall be 5%. (3) The Percentage Parameters for Tier 1 NMS Stocks with a Reference Price equal to $0.75 and up to and including $3.00 shall be 20%. (4) The Percentage Parameters for Tier 1 NMS Stocks with a Reference Price less than $0.75 shall be the lesser of (a) $0.15 or (b) 75%. (5) The Reference Price used for determining which Percentage Parameter shall be applicable during a trading day shall be based on the closing price of the NMS Stock on the Primary Listing Exchange on the previous trading day, or if no closing price exists, the last sale on the Primary Listing Exchange reported by the Processor.

    Set forth in this Section II is the statement of the purpose and 
summary of the Fourteenth Amendment, along with the information 
required by Rule 608(a)(4) and (5) under the Exchange Act,\8\ prepared 
and submitted by the Participants to the Commission.\9\

    \9\ See Transmittal Letter, supra note 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. Statement of Purpose and Summary of the Plan Amendment

    The Participants filed the Plan on April 5, 2011, to create a 
market-wide limit up-limit down mechanism intended to address 
extraordinary market volatility in NMS Stocks, as defined in Rule 
600(b)(47) of Regulation NMS under the Exchange Act. The Plan sets 
forth procedures that provide for market-wide limit up-limit down 
requirements that would prevent trades in individual NMS Stocks from 
occurring outside of the specified price bands. These limit up-limit 
down requirements are coupled with Trading Pauses,\10\ as defined in 
Section I(Y) of the Plan, to accommodate more fundamental price moves. 
In particular, the Participants adopted this Plan to address the type 
of sudden price movements that the market experienced on the afternoon 
of May 6, 2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ Unless otherwise specified, the terms used herein have the 
same meaning as set forth in the Plan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As set forth in more detail in the Plan, all trading centers in NMS 
Stocks, including both those operated by Participants and those 
operated by members of Participants, shall establish, maintain, and 
enforce written policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to 
comply with the limit up-limit down requirements specified in the Plan. 
More specifically, the Processor responsible for consolidation of 
information for an NMS Stock pursuant to Rule 603(b) of Regulation NMS 
under the Exchange Act will be responsible for calculating and 
disseminating a lower price band and upper price band, as provided for 
in Section V of the Plan. Section VI of the Plan sets forth the limit 
up-limit down requirements of the Plan, and in particular, that all 
trading centers in NMS Stocks, including both those operated by 
Participants and those operated by members of Participants, shall 
establish, maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures that 
are reasonably designed to prevent trades at prices that are below the 
lower price band or above the upper price band for an NMS Stock, 
consistent with the Plan.
    The changes approved by the Commission in the twelfth amendment to 
the Plan provide that a Trading Pause will continue until the Primary 
Listing Exchange has reopened trading using its established reopening 
procedures, and to require that trading centers not resume trading in 
an NMS Stock following a Trading Pause without Price Bands for such NMS 
Stock. In the Statement of Purpose filed with the twelfth amendment, 
the Participants stated that the changes described in the twelfth 
amendment would be implemented no later than six months after approval 
of that amendment. Based on the fourteenth amendment to the Plan, the 
twelfth amendment must be implemented no later than the end of the 
third quarter of 2017.
    Because the SIP technology changes necessary to implement the 
twelfth amendment to the Plan and the Amendment 13 Changes will not be 
ready by September 30, 2017, the Participants are filing this proposal 
to change the implementation date for the changes to the Plan set forth 
in the twelfth amendment and the Amendment 13 Changes to no later than 
November 30, 2017. Specifically, the CQS and CTA SIPs are in the 
process of upgrading to binary message type formats over their 
multicast channels and the changes described in the twelfth and 
thirteenth amendments to the Plan are scheduled to be implemented 
together with these upgrades. SIAC has announced revised implementation 
dates for the implementation of the CQS and CTA new binary formats, 
which impacts the implementation dates for SIAC's implementation of the 
twelfth amendment to the Plan and the Amendment 13 Changes.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See Updated CQS and CTS Multicast Output Binary Formats: 
Testing and Implementation Schedule Update 7, available here: 
https://www.nyse.com/publicdocs/ctaplan/notifications/trader-update/CTS_CQS%20New%20Binary%20Formats_Update_v7_06262017.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Because of a dependency on certain SIP technology changes, certain 
Primary Listing Exchanges will not be ready to implement the changes to 
their automated reopening processes following a Trading Pause, which 
were made pursuant to exchange rule filings in conjunction with the 
twelfth amendment to the Plan, by September 30, 2017. To provide for a 
standardized approach that would allow for extensions of a Trading 
Pause by the Primary Listing Exchange if equilibrium cannot be met to 
establish a Reopening Price within specified parameters (``automated 
reopening changes''), the Primary Listing Exchanges amended their rules 
for automated reopenings.\12\ The Primary Listing Exchanges anticipate 
implementing the automated reopening changes commensurate with 
implementation of the twelfth amendment to the Plan and the Amendment 
13 Changes.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 79846 (January 19, 
2017), 82 FR 8548 (January 26, 2017) (SR-NYSEArca-2016-130) 
(Approval Order); 79884 (January 26, 2017), 82 FR 8968 (February 1, 
2017) (SR-BatsBZX-2016-61) (Approval Order); 79876 (January 25, 
2017), 82 FR 8888 (January 31, 2017) (SR-Nasdaq-2016-131) (Approval 
Order).
    \13\ In other words, the Participants expect that both the 
changes pursuant to the twelfth amendment and the Primary Listing 
Exchange automated reopening changes would become operative at the 
same time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Accordingly, both to provide time to support the technology changes 
for the twelfth amendment to the Plan and to align the implementation 
date of the twelfth amendment and the
    Amendment 13 Changes with the implementation timeline for the 
automated reopening changes by the Primary Listing Exchanges, the 
Participants propose to change the implementation date for the changes 
in the twelfth amendment to the Plan and the Amendment 13 Changes to no 
later than November 30, 2017. This proposed change does not require any 
changes to the text of the Plan.
    The Participants believe that the proposed modification to the 
implementation schedule is technical and ministerial in nature because 
it simply extends the implementation period for the twelfth amendment 
to the Plan and does not change any substantive elements of the 
Plan.\14\ The Participants believe that the proposal to extend the 
implementation schedule is consistent with the goal of the twelfth 
amendment to the Plan, which is to reduce the potential for sequential 
Trading Pauses in an NMS Stock by centralizing the reopening process 
through the Primary Listing Exchanges, because it would align the 
implementation schedule for the twelfth amendment to the Plan with the 
implementation schedule for the automated reopening changes. The 
proposed amendment would therefore protect investors and the public 
interest

[[Page 45924]]

and is appropriate to the maintenance of fair and orderly markets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See, e.g., Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 70273 
(amending Section VIII.B of the Plan to establish a new 
implementation schedule for Phase II of the Plan) and 71247 
(amending Section VIII.B of the Plan to establish a new 
implementation schedule for Phase II of the Plan), supra note 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Governing or Constituent Documents

    The governing documents of the Processor, as defined in Section 
I(P) of the Plan, will not be affected by the Plan, but once the Plan 
is implemented, the Processor's obligations will change, as set forth 
in detail in the Plan.

C. Implementation of Plan

    The initial date of the Plan operations was April 8, 2013.

D. Development and Implementation Phases

    The Plan was initially implemented as a one-year pilot program in 
two Phases, consistent with Section VIII of the Plan: Phase I of Plan 
implementation began on April 8, 2013 and was completed on May 3, 2013. 
Implementation of Phase II of the Plan began on August 5, 2013 and was 
completed on February 24, 2014. The tenth amendment to the Plan was 
implemented on July 18, 2016. Pursuant to the proposed thirteenth 
amendment to the Plan, the Participants propose [sic] to extend the 
pilot period until April 16, 2018.\15\ Currently, the Participants must 
implement the twelfth amendment to the Plan to no later than the end of 
the third quarter of 2017. Pursuant to this proposed amendment, the 
Participants propose to extend the time frame to implement the twelfth 
amendment to the Plan and the Amendment 13 Changes to no later than 
November 30, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80455 (order 
approving the thirteenth amendment to the Plan), supra note 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

E. Analysis of Impact on Competition

    The proposed Plan does not impose any burden on competition that is 
not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the 
Exchange Act. The Participants do not believe that the proposed Plan 
introduces terms that are unreasonably discriminatory for the purposes 
of Section 11A(c)(1)(D) of the Exchange Act.

F. Written Understanding or Agreements Relating to Interpretation of, 
or Participation in, Plan

    The Participants have no written understandings or agreements 
relating to interpretation of the Plan. Section II(C) of the Plan sets 
forth how any entity registered as a national securities exchange or 
national securities association may become a Participant.

G. Approval of Amendment of the Plan

    Each of the Plan's Participants has executed a written amended 
Plan.

H. Terms and Conditions of Access

    Section II(C) of the Plan provides that any entity registered as a 
national securities exchange or national securities association under 
the Exchange Act may become a Participant by: (1) Becoming a 
participant in the applicable Market Data Plans, as defined in Section 
I(F) of the Plan; (2) executing a copy of the Plan, as then in effect; 
(3) providing each then-current Participant with a copy of such 
executed Plan; and (4) effecting an amendment to the Plan as specified 
in Section III(B) of the Plan.

I. Method of Determination and Imposition, and Amount of, Fees and 
Charges

    Not applicable.

J. Method and Frequency of Processor Evaluation

    Not applicable.

K. Dispute Resolution

    Section III(C) of the Plan provides that each Participant shall 
designate an individual to represent the Participant as a member of an 
Operating Committee. No later than the initial date of the Plan, the 
Operating Committee shall designate one member of the Operating 
Committee to act as the Chair of the Operating Committee. Any 
recommendation for an amendment to the Plan from the Operating 
Committee that receives an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of 
the Participants, but is less than unanimous, shall be submitted to the 
Commission as a request for an amendment to the Plan initiated by the 
Commission under Rule 608.
    On July 19, 2017, the Operating Committee, duly constituted and 
chaired by Mr. Robert Books of Bats, met and voted unanimously to amend 
the Plan as set forth herein in accordance with Section III(C) of the 
Plan. The Plan Advisory Committee was notified in connection with the

Preamble

    The Participants submit to the SEC this Plan establishing 
procedures to address extraordinary volatility in NMS Stocks. The 
procedures provide for market-wide limit up-limit down requirements 
that prevent trades in individual NMS Stocks from occurring outside 
of the specified Price Bands. These limit up-limit down requirements 
are coupled with Trading Pauses to accommodate more fundamental 
price moves. The Plan procedures are designed, among other things, 
to protect investors and promote fair and orderly markets. The 
Participants developed this Plan pursuant to Rule 608(a)(3) of 
Regulation NMS under the Exchange Act, which authorizes the 
Participants to act jointly in preparing, filing, and implementing 
national market system plans.

two-thirds of the Participants, but is less than unanimous, shall be 
submitted to the SEC as a request for an amendment to the Plan 
initiated by the Commission under Rule 608 of Regulation NMS.

IV. Trading Center Policies and Procedures

    All trading centers in NMS Stocks, including both those operated 
by Participants and those operated by members of Participants, shall 
establish, maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures 
that are reasonably designed to comply with the limit up--limit down 
requirements specified in Sections VI of the Plan, and to comply 
with the Trading Pauses specified in Section VII of the Plan.

V. Price Bands

(A) Calculation and Dissemination of Price Bands

    (1) The Processor for each NMS stock shall calculate and 
disseminate to the public a Lower Price Band and an Upper Price Band 
during Regular Trading Hours for such NMS Stock. The Price Bands 
shall be based on a Reference Price for each NMS Stock that equals 
the arithmetic mean price of Eligible Reported Transactions for the 
NMS stock over the immediately preceding five-minute period (except 
for periods following openings and reopenings, which are addressed 
below). If no Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS Stock have 
occurred over the immediately preceding five-minute period, the 
previous Reference Price shall remain in effect. The Price Bands for 
an NMS Stock shall be calculated by applying the Percentage 
Parameter for such NMS Stock to the Reference Price, with the Lower 
Price Band being a Percentage Parameter below the Reference Price, 
and the Upper Price Band being a Percentage Parameter above the 
Reference Price. The Price Bands shall be calculated during Regular 
Trading Hours. Between 9:30 a.m. and 9:45 a.m. ET, and 3:35 p.m. and 
4:00 p.m. ET, or in the case of an early scheduled close, during the 
last 25 minutes of trading before the early scheduled close, the 
Price Bands shall be calculated by applying double the Percentage 
Parameters set forth in Appendix A. If the Processor has not yet 
disseminated Price Bands, but a Reference Price is available, a 
trading center may calculate and apply Price Bands based on the same 
Reference Price that the Processor would use for calculating such 
Price Bands until such trading center receives Price Bands from the 
Processor. If, under Section VII(B)(2), the Primary Listing Exchange 
notifies the Processor that it is unable to reopen an NMS Stock due 
to a systems or technology issue and it has not declared a 
Regulatory Halt, the Processor will calculate and disseminate Price 
Bands by applying triple the Percentage Parameters set forth in 
Appendix A for the first 30 seconds such Price Bands are 
disseminated.
    (2) The Processor shall calculate a Pro-Forma Reference Price on 
a continuous basis during Regular Trading Hours, as specified in 
Section V(A)(1) of the Plan. If a Pro-Forma Reference Price has not 
moved by 1% or more from the Reference Price currently in effect, no 
new Price Bands shall be disseminated, and the current Reference 
Price shall remain the effective Reference Price. When the Pro-Forma 
Reference Price has moved by 1% or more from the Reference Price 
currently in effect, the Pro-Forma Reference Price shall become the 
Reference Price, and the Processor shall disseminate new Price Bands 
based on the new Reference Price; provided, however, that each new 
Reference Price shall remain in effect for at least 30 seconds.

(B) Openings

    (1) Except when a Regulatory Halt is in effect at the start of 
Regular Trading Hours, the first Reference Price for a trading day 
shall be the Opening Price on the Primary Listing Exchange in an NMS 
Stock if such Opening Price occurs less than five minutes after the 
start of Regular Trading Hours. During the period less than five 
minutes after the Opening Price, a Pro-Forma Reference Price shall 
be updated on a continuous basis to be the arithmetic mean price of 
Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS Stock during the period 
following the Opening Price (including the Opening Price), and if it 
differs from the current Reference Price by 1% or more shall become 
the new Reference Price, except that a new Reference Price shall 
remain in effect for at least 30 seconds. Subsequent Reference 
Prices shall be calculated as specified in Section V(A) of the Plan.
    (2) If the Opening Price on the Primary Listing Exchange in an 
NMS Stock does not occur within five minutes after the start of 
Regular Trading Hours, the first Reference Price for a trading day 
shall be the arithmetic mean price of Eligible Reported Transactions 
for the NMS Stock over the preceding five minute time period, and 
subsequent Reference Prices shall be calculated as specified in 
Section V(A) of the Plan.

(C) Reopenings

    (1) Following a Trading Pause in an NMS Stock, and if the 
Primary Listing Exchange has not declared a Regulatory Halt, if the 
Primary Listing Exchange reopens trading with a transaction or 
quotation that does not include a zero bid or zero offer, the next 
Reference Price shall be the Reopening Price on the Primary Listing 
Exchange. Subsequent Reference Prices shall be determined in the 
manner prescribed for normal openings, as specified in Section 
V(B)(1) of the Plan. If the Primary Listing Exchange notifies the 
Processor that it is unable to reopen an NMS Stock due to a systems 
or technology issue,

[[Page 45927]]

or if the Primary Listing Exchange reopens trading with a quotation 
that has a zero bid or zero offer, or both, the next Reference Price 
shall be the last effective Price Band that was in a Limit State 
before the Trading Pause. Subsequent Reference Prices shall be 
calculated as specified in Section V(A) of the Plan.
    (2) Following a Regulatory Halt, the next Reference Price shall 
be the Opening or Reopening Price on the Primary Listing Exchange if 
such Opening or Reopening Price occurs within five minutes after the 
end of the Regulatory Halt, and subsequent Reference Prices shall be 
determined in the manner prescribed for normal openings, as 
specified in Section V(B)(1) of the Plan. If such Opening or 
Reopening Price has not occurred within five minutes after the end 
of the Regulatory Halt, the Reference Price shall be equal to the 
arithmetic mean price of Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS 
Stock over the preceding five minute time period, and subsequent 
Reference Prices shall be calculated as specified in Section V(A) of 
the Plan.

VI. Limit Up--Limit Down Requirements

(A) Limitations on Trades and Quotations Outside of Price Bands

    (1) All trading centers in NMS Stocks, including both those 
operated by Participants and those operated by members of 
Participants, shall establish, maintain, and enforce written 
policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to prevent 
trades at prices that are below the Lower Price Band or above the 
Upper Price Band for an NMS Stock. Single-priced opening, reopening, 
and closing transactions on the Primary Listing Exchange, however, 
shall be excluded from this limitation. In addition, any transaction 
that both (i) does not update the last sale price (except if solely 
because the transaction was reported late or because the transaction 
was an odd-lot sized transaction), and (ii) is excepted or exempt 
from Rule 611 under Regulation NMS shall be excluded from this 
limitation.
    (2) When a National Best Bid is below the Lower Price Band or a 
National Best Offer is above the Upper Price Band for an NMS Stock, 
the Processor shall disseminate such National Best Bid or National 
Best Offer with an appropriate flag identifying it as non-
executable. When a National Best Offer is equal to the Lower Price 
Band or a National Best Bid is equal to the Upper Price Band for an 
NMS Stock, the Processor shall distribute such National Best Bid or 
National Best Offer with an appropriate flag identifying it as a 
``Limit State Quotation''.
    (3) All trading centers in NMS Stocks, including both those 
operated by Participants and those operated by members of 
Participants, shall establish, maintain, and enforce written 
policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to prevent the 
display of offers below the Lower Price Band and bids above the 
Upper Price Band for an NMS Stock. The Processor shall disseminate 
an offer below the Lower Price Band or bid above the Upper Price 
Band that may be submitted despite such reasonable policies and 
procedures, but with an appropriate flag identifying it as non-
executable; provided, however, that any such bid or offer shall not 
be included in National Best Bid or National Best Offer 
calculations.

(B) Entering and Exiting a Limit State

    (1) All trading for an NMS Stock shall immediately enter a Limit 
State if the National Best Offer equals the Lower Price Band and 
does not cross the National Best Bid, or the National Best Bid 
equals the Upper Price Band and does not cross the National Best 
Offer.
    (2) When trading for an NMS Stock enters a Limit State, the 
Processor shall disseminate this information by identifying the 
relevant quotation (i.e., a National Best Offer that equals the 
Lower Price Band or a National Best Bid that equals the Upper Price 
Band) as a Limit State Quotation. At this point, the Processor shall 
cease calculating and disseminating updated Reference Prices and 
Price Bands for the NMS Stock until either trading exits the Limit 
State or trading resumes with an opening or re-opening as provided 
in Section V.
    (3) Trading for an NMS Stock shall exit a Limit State if, within 
15 seconds of entering the Limit State, the entire size of all Limit 
State Quotations are executed or cancelled.
    (4) If trading for an NMS Stock exits a Limit State within 15 
seconds of entry, the Processor shall immediately calculate and 
disseminate updated Price Bands based on a Reference Price that 
equals the arithmetic mean price of Eligible Reported Transactions 
for the NMS Stock over the immediately preceding five-minute period 
(including the period of the Limit State).
    (5) If trading for an NMS Stock does not exit a Limit State 
within 15 seconds of entry, the Limit State will terminate when the 
Primary Listing Exchange declares a Trading Pause pursuant to 
Section VII of the Plan or at the end of Regular Trading Hours.

VII. Trading Pauses

(A) Declaration of Trading Pauses

    (1) If trading for an NMS Stock does not exit a Limit State 
within 15 seconds of entry during Regular Trading Hours, then the 
Primary Listing Exchange shall declare a Trading Pause for such NMS 
Stock and shall notify the Processor.
    (2) The Primary Listing Exchange may also declare a Trading 
Pause for an NMS Stock when an NMS Stock is in a Straddle State, 
which is when National Best Bid (Offer) is below (above) the Lower 
(Upper) Price Band and the NMS Stock is not in a Limit State, and 
trading in that NMS Stock deviates from normal trading 
characteristics such that declaring a Trading Pause would support 
the Plan's goal to address extraordinary market volatility. The 
Primary Listing Exchange shall develop policies and procedures for 
determining when it would declare a Trading Pause in such 
circumstances. If a Trading Pause is declared for an NMS Stock under 
this provision, the Primary Listing Exchange shall notify the 
Processor.
    (3) The Processor shall disseminate Trading Pause information to 
the public. No trades in an NMS Stock shall occur during a Trading 
Pause, but all bids and offers may be displayed.

(B) Reopening of Trading During Regular Trading Hours

    (1) Five minutes after declaring a Trading Pause for an NMS 
Stock, and if the Primary Listing Exchange has not declared a 
Regulatory Halt, the Primary Listing Exchange shall attempt to 
reopen trading using its established reopening procedures. The 
Processor will publish the following information that the Primary 
Listing Exchange provides to the Processor in connection with such 
reopening: auction reference price; auction collars; and number of 
extensions to the reopening auction. The Trading Pause shall end 
when the Primary Listing Exchange reports a Reopening Price.
    (2) The Primary Listing Exchange shall notify the Processor if 
it is unable to reopen trading in an NMS Stock due to a systems or 
technology issue and if it has not declared a Regulatory Halt. The 
Processor shall disseminate this information to the public.
    (3) Trading centers may not resume trading in an NMS Stock 
following a Trading Pause without Price Bands in such NMS Stock.
    (4) The Processor shall update the Price Bands as set forth in 
Section V(C)(1)-(2) of the Plan after receiving notification from 
the Primary Listing Exchange of a Reopening Price following a 
Trading Pause (or a resume message in the case of a reopening quote 
that has a zero bid or zero offer, or both) or that it is unable to 
reopen trading following a Trading Pause due to a systems or 
technology issue, provided that if the Primary Listing Exchange is 
unable to reopen due to a systems or technology issue, the update to 
the Price Bands will be no earlier than ten minutes after the 
beginning of the Trading Pause.

(C) Trading Pauses Within Ten Minutes of the End of Regular Trading 
Hours

    (1) If an NMS Stock is in a Trading Pause during the last ten 
minutes of trading before the end of Regular Trading Hours, the 
Primary Listing Exchange shall not reopen trading and shall attempt 
to execute a closing transaction using its established closing 
procedures. All trading centers may begin trading the NMS Stock when 
the Primary Listing Exchange executes a closing transaction.
    (2) If the Primary Listing Exchange does not execute a closing 
transaction within five minutes after the end of Regular Trading 
Hours, all trading centers may begin trading the NMS Stock.

VIII. Implementation

    The initial date of Plan operations shall be April 8, 2013.
    The Plan shall be implemented on a pilot basis set to end on 
April 16, 2018.

IX. Withdrawal from Plan

    If a Participant obtains SEC approval to withdraw from the Plan, 
such Participant may withdraw from the Plan at any time on not less 
than 30 days' prior written notice to each of the other 
Participants. At such time, the withdrawing Participant shall have 
no further rights or obligations under the Plan.

X. Counterparts and Signatures

    The Plan may be executed in any number of counterparts, no one 
of which need

[[Page 45928]]

contain all signatures of all Participants, and as many of such 
counterparts as shall together contain all such signatures shall 
constitute one and the same instrument.
    IN WITNESS THEREOF, this Plan has been executed as of the __ day 
of August 2017 [February 2017] by each of the parties hereto.

Appendix A--Percentage Parameters

I. Tier 1 NMS Stocks

    (1) Tier 1 NMS Stocks shall include all NMS Stocks included in 
the S&P 500 Index, the Russell 1000 Index, and the exchange-traded 
products (``ETP'') identified as Schedule 1 to this Appendix. 
Schedule 1 to the Appendix will be reviewed and updated semi-
annually based on the fiscal year by the Primary Listing Exchange to 
add ETPs that meet the criteria, or delete ETPs that are no longer 
eligible. To determine eligibility for an ETP to be included as a 
Tier 1 NMS Stock, all ETPs across multiple asset classes and 
issuers, including domestic equity, international equity, fixed 
income, currency, and commodities and futures will be identified. 
Leveraged ETPs will be excluded and the list will be sorted by 
notional consolidated average daily volume (``CADV''). The period 
used to measure CADV will be from the first day of the previous 
fiscal half year up until one week before the beginning of the next 
fiscal half year. Daily volumes will be multiplied by closing prices 
and then averaged over the period. ETPs, including inverse ETPs, 
that trade over $2,000,000 CADV will be eligible to be included as a 
Tier 1 NMS Stock. The semi-annual updates to Schedule 1 do not 
require an amendment to the Plan. The Primary Listing Exchanges will 
maintain the updated Schedule 1 on their respective websites.
    (2) The Percentage Parameters for Tier 1 NMS Stocks with a 
Reference Price more than $3.00 shall be 5%.
    (3) The Percentage Parameters for Tier 1 NMS Stocks with a 
Reference Price equal to $0.75 and up to and including $3.00 shall 
be 20%.
    (4) The Percentage Parameters for Tier 1 NMS Stocks with a 
Reference Price less than $0.75 shall be the lesser of (a) $0.15 or 
(b) 75%.
    (5) The Reference Price used for determining which Percentage 
Parameter shall be applicable during a trading day shall be based on 
the closing price of the NMS Stock on the Primary Listing Exchange 
on the previous trading day, or if no closing price exists, the last 
sale on the Primary Listing Exchange reported by the Processor.

II. Tier 2 NMS Stocks

    (1) Tier 2 NMS Stocks shall include all NMS Stocks other than 
those in Tier 1, provided, however, that all rights and warrants are 
excluded from the Plan.
    (2) The Percentage Parameters for Tier 2 NMS Stocks with a 
Reference Price more than $3.00 shall be 10%.
    (3) The Percentage Parameters for Tier 2 NMS Stocks with a 
Reference Price equal to $0.75 and up to and including $3.00 shall 
be 20%.
    (4) The Percentage Parameters for Tier 2 NMS Stocks with a 
Reference Price less than $0.75 shall be the lesser of (a) $0.15 or 
(b) 75%.
    (5) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Percentage Parameters for 
a Tier 2 NMS Stock that is a leveraged ETP shall be the applicable 
Percentage Parameter set forth in clauses (2), (3), or (4) above, 
multiplied by the leverage ratio of such product.
    (6) The Reference Price used for determining which Percentage 
Parameter shall be applicable during a trading day shall be based on 
the closing price of the NMS Stock on the Primary Listing Exchange 
on the previous trading day, or if no closing price exists, the last 
sale on the Primary Listing Exchange reported by the Processor.
