[FR Doc. 2017–24681 Filed 11–9–17; 11:15 am] BILLING CODE 8011–01–P SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION [Release No. 34–82027; File No. SR– NYSEAMER–2017–15] Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE American LLC; Notice of Filing of Amendment No. 1 and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of a Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 1, To Amend NYSE American Rule 980NY To Clarify the Priority of Electronic Complex Orders and To Modify Aspects of the Complex Order Auction Process November 7, 2017. I. Introduction On September 8, 2017, NYSE American LLC (the ‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘NYSE American’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) 1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ‘‘Act’’),2 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,3 a proposed rule change to amend NYSE American Rule 980NY to clarify and provide greater specificity to its rules governing the trading of Electronic Complex Orders (‘‘ECOs’’), and to correct inaccuracies in those rules.4 The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register on September 27, 2017.5 The Commission received no comment letters regarding the proposal. On October 26, 2017, NYSE American filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposal, which supersedes the original filing in 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). U.S.C. 78a. 3 17 CFR 240.19b–4. 4 For purposes of NYSE American Rule 980NY, an Electronic Complex Order is any Complex Order, as defined in NYSE American Rule 900.3NY(e) that is entered into the Exchange System. See NYSE American Rule 980NY. The Exchange System (‘‘System’’) is the Exchange’s electronic order delivery, execution and reporting system for designated option issues through which orders and quotes of Users are consolidated for execution and/ or display. Market Makers must submit quotes to the System in their appointed classes electronically. See NYSE American Rule 900.2NY(48). A Complex Order is any order involving the simultaneous purchase and/or sale of two or more different option series in the same underlying security, for the same account, in a ratio that is equal to or greater than one-to-three (.333) and less than or equal to three-to-one (3.00) and for the purpose of executing a particular investment strategy. See NYSE American Rule 900.3NY(e). 5 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 81676 (September 21, 2017), 82 FR 45085 (‘‘Notice’’). ethrower on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES 2 15 VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:27 Nov 13, 2017 Jkt 244001 II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change NYSE American Rule 980NY governs the trading of ECOs in the Exchange’s Complex Matching Engine (‘‘CME’’). As described more fully in the Notice, NYSE American proposes to amend NYSE American Rule 980NY to provide additional specificity, transparency, and clarity to its processing of ECOs. The proposal also corrects inaccuracies in NYSE American Rule 980NY. Execution of ECOs During Core Trading Hours The proposal amends NYSE American Rule 980NY(c), ‘‘Execution of Complex Orders,’’ to indicate that ECOs may be executed not only without consideration of prices of the same complex order that might be available on other exchanges, as the rule currently provides, but also without consideration of the prices of single-legged orders that might be available on other exchanges. In addition, the proposal revises and reorganizes current NYSE American 6 Amendment No. 1 modifies the original filing to (1) add specificity to NYSE American Rule 980NY(c)(ii) by indicating that both Customer and non-Customer leg market interest will have first priority to trade with an incoming ECO when the leg markets can execute against an incoming ECO in full (or in a permissible ratio), and each leg includes Customer interest; (2) clarify the provision in NYSE American Rule 980NY(e)(2) indicating that a Complex Order Auction (‘‘COA’’)-eligible order may trade immediately in full (or in a permissible ratio) with a resting ECO priced equal to the contraside Complex BBO, unless each leg of the contraside Complex BBO includes Customer interest; (3) add a provision to NYSE American Rule 980NY(e)(7)(A) indicating that ECOs on behalf of Customers will have priority over same-priced ECOs for non-Customers when allocating orders at the conclusion of a COA; (4) clarify the requirement NYSE American Rule 980NY, Commentary .02 to provide price improvement on at least one leg of the ECO when each leg of the contra-side Complex BBO for the components of the ECO includes Customer interest; (5) remove a superfluous reference in Commentary .02 to Commentary .01; and (6) delete language in the description section indicating that the proposal removes references to Customer ECO priority. To promote transparency of its proposed amendment, when NYSE American filed Amendment No. 1 with the Commission, it also submitted Amendment No. 1 as a comment letter to the file, which the Commission posted on its Web site and placed in the public comment file for SR–NYSEAMER–2017–15 (available at https:// www.sec.gov/comments/sr-nyseamer-2017-15/ nyseamer201715-2656362-161384.pdf). The Exchange also posted a copy of its Amendment No. 1 on its Web site (available at https:// www.nyse.com/publicdocs/nyse/markets/nyseamerican/rule-filings/filings/2017/NYSEAmer2017-15,%20Am.%201.pdf. PO 00000 Frm 00040 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 52749 Rule 980NY(c) by replacing current text and adding new paragraphs (ii), ‘‘Execution of Electronic Complex Orders During Core Trading,’’ and (iii), ‘‘Electronic Complex Orders in the Consolidated Book.’’ 7 The changes to NYSE American Rules 980NY(c)(ii) and (iii) are designed to describe the processing of ECOs during Core Trading in a more concise and logical manner, with NYSE American Rule 980NY(c)(ii) governing the execution of ECOs that are marketable on arrival and NYSE American Rule 980NY(c)(iii) governing how ECOs would be ranked in the Consolidated Book and executed as resting interest on the Consolidated Book.8 New NYSE American Rule 980NY(c)(ii) indicates that the CME would accept an incoming marketable ECO and automatically execute it against the best-priced contra-side interest resting in the Consolidated Book.9 If, at a price, the leg markets can trade against an incoming ECO in full (or in a permissible ratio), and each leg includes Customer interest, the leg markets—including both Customer and non-Customer interest—would have first priority at that price to trade with the incoming ECO pursuant to NYSE American Rule 964NY(b), followed by resting ECOs in price/time priority.10 7 The title of NYSE American Rule 980NY(c)(ii) remains unchanged, except for the addition of the word ‘‘Electronic’’ prior to ‘‘Complex Orders.’’ NYSE American Rule 900.2NY(15) defines Core Trading Hours as ‘‘the regular trading hours for business set forth in the rules of the primary markets underlying those option classes listed on the Exchange; provided, however, that transactions may be effected on the Exchange until the regular time set for the normal close of trading in the primary markets with respect to equity option classes and ETF option classes, and 15 minutes after the regular time set for the normal close of trading in the primary markets with respect to index option classes, or such other hours as may be determined by the Exchange from time to time.’’ 8 See Notice, 82 FR at 45086. 9 See id. NYSE American Rule 980NY(c)(ii) states that ‘‘The CME will accept an incoming marketable Electronic Complex Order and automatically execute it against the best-priced contra-side interest resting in the Consolidated Book. If, at a price, the leg markets can execute against an incoming Electronic Complex Order in full (or in a permissible ratio), and each leg includes Customer interest, the leg markets (Customer and nonCustomer interest) will have first priority at that price and will trade with the incoming Electronic Complex Order pursuant to Rule 964NY(b) before Electronic Complex Orders resting in the Consolidated Book can trade at that price.’’ See Amendment No. 1. 10 See Amendment No. 1. See also Notice, 82 FR at 45087. The proposal amends NYSE American Rule 980NY(a) to add a defined term, ‘‘leg markets,’’ to refer to individual quotes and orders in the Consolidated Book. In addition, the proposal revises NYSE American Rule 980NY(c) to add the word ‘‘strategy’’ following the term ‘‘complex order,’’ and to add references to ‘‘Electronic’’ Complex Orders to the titles of NYSE American E:\FR\FM\14NON1.SGM Continued 14NON1
