Download as PDF amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 209 / Monday, October 29, 2018 / Notices a proposed rule change is consistent with the Act and the applicable rules and regulations.38 Moreover, ‘‘unquestioning reliance’’ on an SRO’s representations in a proposed rule change would not be sufficient to justify Commission approval of a proposed rule change.39 The Commission believes that it should seek public comment on Amendment No. 1. The Commission questions whether the information and analysis provided by the Exchange in Amendment No. 1 support the Exchange’s conclusions that the Program ‘‘has demonstrated the effectiveness of a transparent, onexchange retail order price improvement functionality, and while small relative to total consolidated volume, has achieved its goals of attracting retail order flow and providing those orders with price improvement totaling tens of thousands of dollars each month.’’ The Commission also questions whether the Exchange has provided sufficient information and analysis concerning the Program’s impact on the broader market; for example whether the Program has not had a material adverse impact on market quality. As noted above, the Exchange states that it has not detected any negative impact to market quality, and suggests that the size of the Program prevents the Exchange from providing additional information to support the view that the Program has not had a material adverse impact on market quality. The Commission believes it is appropriate to institute proceedings to allow for public comment on Amendment No. 1, sufficient consideration and comment on the issues raised herein, any potential response to comments or supplemental information provided by the Exchange, and any additional independent analysis by the Commission. The Commission believes that these issues raise questions as to whether the Exchange has met its burden to demonstrate, based on the data and analysis provided, that permanent approval of the Program is consistent with the Act, and specifically, with its requirements that the Program be designed to perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and the national market system, protect investors and the public interest, and not be unfairly discriminatory; or not impose an 38 See id. Susquehanna Int’l Group, LLP v. Securities and Exchange Commission, 866 F.3d 442, 446–47 (D.C. Cir. 2017) (rejecting the Commission’s reliance on an SRO’s own determinations without sufficient evidence of the basis for such determinations). 39 See VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:48 Oct 26, 2018 Jkt 247001 unnecessary or inappropriate burden on competition.40 IV. Procedure: Request for Written Comments The Commission requests that interested persons provide written submissions of their views, data, and arguments with respect to the issues identified above, as well as any other concerns they may have with the proposal. In particular, the Commission invites the written views of interested persons concerning whether the proposal is consistent with Sections 6(b)(5) and 6(b)(8), or any other provision of the Exchange Act, or the rules and regulations thereunder. Although there do not appear to be any issues relevant to approval or disapproval that would be facilitated by an oral presentation of views, data, and arguments, the Commission will consider, pursuant to Rule 19b–4, any request for an opportunity to make an oral presentation.41 Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments regarding whether the proposal should be approved or disapproved by November 19, 2018.
