Change, to a single date from three
separate dates, the earliest date on
which new January Long-term Equity
AnticiPation series on equity options,
options on Exchange Traded Funds, or
options on Trust Issued Receipts may be
added; (2) allow equity, Exchange
Traded Fund, and Trust Issued Receipt
option series to be added based on
trading following regular trading hours;
(3) make certain administrative and
procedural changes to the processes
relating to options class certifications
and by which notice is given under the
terms of the OLPP; and (4) correct a
technical cross-referencing error in
section 7 of the Plan.4 The Commission
is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the amendment from
interested persons.
I. Description and Purpose of the
Amendment
The OLPP Participant Exchanges
(‘‘Participants’’) and the OCC
(collectively the ‘‘Plan Participants’’ or
‘‘Plan Sponsors’’), have agreed to amend
the OLPP (the ‘‘Amendment’’). The
purpose of the Amendment is to: (i)
Change the earliest date of introduction
of new January Long-term Equity
AnticiPation (‘‘LEAP’’) series on equity
options, options on Exchange Traded
Funds (‘‘ETF’’), or options on Trust
Issued Receipts (‘‘TIR’’) to a single date
(from three separate months); (ii) allow
equity, ETF, and TIR option series to be
added based on trading following
regular trading hours; (iii) make other
administrative changes within the OLPP
related to the options class certification
process and the process by which notice
is given under the terms of the OLPP
and (iv) fix a technical error in the
section related to new plan sponsors.
January LEAPs Series
The Plan Participants propose to
change the earliest possible date on
which new January LEAPs series on
equity, ETF, and TIR options classes
may be added.
Section 3(e) of the OLPP currently
states, in part, ‘‘With regard to the
listing of new January [LEAPs] . . . the
Series Selecting Exchange and any other
exchange that lists and trades the same
option class shall not add new LEAP
series on that option class: (i) Earlier
78 FR 65733 (November 1, 2013) (adding Miami
International Securities Exchange, LLC as a Plan
Sponsor); 76822 (January 1, 2016), 81 FR 1251
(January 11, 2016) (adding EDGX Exchange, Inc. as
a Plan Sponsor); 77323 (March 8, 2016), 81 FR
13433 (March 14, 2016) (adding ISE Mercury, LLC
as a Plan Sponsor); 82 FR 9263 (February 3, 2017)
(adding MIAX PEARL, LLC as a Plan Sponsor).
4 See Letter from the Plan Sponsors to Brent J.
Fields, Secretary, Commission, dated August 15,
2017 (‘‘Transmittal Letter’’).

than September (which is 28 months
before the expiration), for an option
class on the January expiration cycle;
(ii) Earlier than October (which is 27
months before expiration), for an option
class on the February expiration cycle;
and (iii) Earlier than November (which
is 26 months before expiration), for an
option class on the March expiration
cycle.’’
The Plan Participants propose to
remove any reference to an option class’
expiration cycle as it relates to when
new January LEAPs series may be added
and replace it with a single date, the
Monday prior to the September
expiration. The new language of section
3(e) will state, ‘‘With regard to the
listing of new January [LEAPs] . . . the
Series Selecting Exchange and any other
exchange that lists and trades the same
option class shall not add new LEAP
series on that option class earlier than
the Monday prior to the September
expiration (which is 28 months before
the expiration).’’
In the past there were operational
concerns related to adding new January
LEAPs series for all options classes on
which LEAPs were listed on a single
trading day. The addition of new series
in a pre-electronic trading environment
was a manual process. Accordingly, the
addition of new January LEAPs series
was spread across three months
(September, October, and November).
Today, these operational concerns
related to January LEAPs have been
alleviated as new series can be added in
bulk electronically. The Plan
Participants believe that moving the
addition of new January LEAPs series to
no earlier than the Monday prior to the
September expiration will reduce
marketplace confusion about available
January LEAPs series. Where previously
January LEAPs series for options classes
on the February or March expiration
cycles would not have been available as
early as January LEAPs series for
options classes on the January
expiration cycle, under the proposed
change, all January LEAPs series will be
available concurrently.
Option Series To Be Added Based on
Trading Following Regular Trading
Hours
The Plan Participants propose to
allow equity, ETF, and TIR options
series to be added based on trading
following regular trading hours. Regular
trading hours is defined in Rule
600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS 5 as
between 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern
Time, unless otherwise specified
pursuant to the procedures established
