Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The Exchange is proposing to amend its rules relating to categories of registration and respective qualification examinations required for Members that engage in trading activities on the Exchange. The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange’s website at www.markets.cboe.com, at the principal office of the Exchange, and at the Commission’s Public Reference Room. daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at the 3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 81098 (July 7, 2017), 82 FR 32419 (July 13, 2017) (Order Approving File No. SR–FINRA–2017–007). 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). 2 17 CFR 240.19b–4. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:30 Sep 20, 2018 1. Purpose The SEC recently approved a proposed rule change to restructure the FINRA representative-level qualification examination program.3 The rule change, which will become effective on October 1, 2018, restructures the examination program into a more efficient format whereby all new representative-level applicants will be required to take a general knowledge examination (the Securities Industry Essentials Examination (‘‘SIE’’)) and a tailored, specialized knowledge examination (a revised representative-level qualification examination) for their particular registered role. Individuals are not required to be associated with an Exchange or any other self-regulatory organization (‘‘SRO’’) member to be eligible to take the SIE. However, passing the SIE alone will not qualify an individual for registration with the Exchange. To be eligible for registration, an individual must also be associated with a firm, pass an appropriate qualification examination for a representative or principal and satisfy the other requirements relating to the registration process. The SIE would assess basic product knowledge; the structure and function of the securities industry markets, regulatory agencies and their functions; and regulated and prohibited practices. In particular, the SIE will cover four major areas. The first, ‘‘Knowledge of Capital Markets,’’ focuses on topics such as types of markets and offerings, broker-dealers and depositories, and economic cycles. The second, ‘‘Understanding Products and Their Risks,’’ covers securities products at a high level as well as associated investment risks. The third, ‘‘Understanding Trading, Customer Accounts and Prohibited Activities,’’ focuses on accounts, orders, settlement and prohibited activities. The final area, ‘‘Overview of the Regulatory Framework,’’ encompasses topics such as SROs, registration requirements and specified conduct rules. It’s anticipated that the SIE would include 75 scored questions plus an additional 10 Jkt 244001 PO 00000 Frm 00072 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 47945 unscored pretest questions. The passing score would be determined through methodologies compliant with testing industry standards used to develop examinations and set passing standards. The restructured program eliminates duplicative testing of general securities knowledge on the current representative-level qualification examinations by moving such content into the SIE. The SIE will test fundamental securities related knowledge, including knowledge of basic products, the structure and function of the securities industry, the regulatory agencies and their functions and regulated and prohibited practices, whereas the revised representative-level qualification examinations will test knowledge relevant to day-to-day activities, responsibilities and job functions of representatives. The SIE was developed in consultation with a committee of industry representatives and representatives of several other SROs. Each of the current representative-level examinations covers general securities knowledge, with the exception of the Research Analyst (Series 86 and 87) examinations. The Exchange proposes to require that effective October 1, 2018, new applicants seeking to register in a representative capacity with the Exchange must pass the SIE before their registrations can become effective. The Exchange proposes to make the requirement operative on October 1, 2018 to coincide with the effective date of FINRA’s requirement. The Exchange notes that individuals who are registered as of October 1, 2018 are eligible to maintain their registrations without being subject to any additional requirements. Individuals who had been registered within the past two years prior to October 1, 2018, would also be eligible to maintain those registrations without being subject to any additional requirements, provided they register within two years from the date of their last registration. However, with respect to an individual who is not registered on the effective date of the proposed rule change but was registered within the past two years prior to the effective date of the proposed rule change, the individual’s SIE status in the CRD system would be administratively terminated if such individual does not register with the Exchange within four years from the date of the individual’s last registration. The Exchange also notes that consistent with Interpretation and Policy .01(b) of Rule 2.5, the Exchange will consider waivers of the SIE alone or the SIE and the E:\FR\FM\21SEN1.SGM 21SEN1
