The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. khammond on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The Exchange is filing a proposal to relocate Rule 1809(f) (‘‘SPIKES Index Options Settlement’’) and Rule 1809, Interpretations and Policies .06 (‘‘SPIKES Special Settlement Auction’’) into Rule 503, Openings on the Exchange, new Interpretations and Policies .02 and .03.

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 places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements. A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION 1 15 https://www.miaxoptions.com/rulefilings/ at MIAX Options’ principal office, and at the Commission’s Public Reference Room. 1. Purpose The Exchange proposes to adopt new Interpretations and Policies .02, to Rule 503 (‘‘Openings on the Exchange’’), in order to relocate existing Exchange Rule 1809(f), SPIKES Index Options Settlement, to Rule 503. The Exchange also proposes to adopt new Interpretations and Policies .03, to Rule 503, in order to similarly relocate existing Exchange Rule 1809, Interpretations and Policies .06, SPIKES Special Settlement Auction. This proposal seeks to better organize the rules of the Exchange in order to make the rules easier to read and to ensure that these rules apply only to MIAX Options. The Exchange notes that the changes proposed herein are nonsubstantive rule changes, and do not modify the application the rules which the Exchange proposes to relocate. The Exchange notes, by way of background, that on June 28, 2018, the Exchange filed with the Commission a proposal to list and trade on the Exchange, options on the SPIKESTM Index, a new index that measures expected 30-day volatility of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (commonly known and referred to by its ticker symbol, ‘‘SPY’’).3 To facilitate trading options on the Index the Exchange made certain amendments to Rule 1809.4 By virtue of the exemption from the rule filing requirements of Section 19(b) of the Act, 3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 84417 (October 12, 2018), 83 FR 52865 (October 18, 2018) (SR–MIAX–2018–14) (Order Granting Approval of a Proposed Rule Change by Miami International Securities Exchange, LLC to List and Trade on the Exchange Options on the SPIKESTM Index). 4 See id. PO 00000 Frm 00085 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 the rule amendments were automatically incorporated by reference into the rules of the Exchange’s affiliate MIAX PEARL, LLC (‘‘MIAX PEARL’’). However, the procedures described in Rule 1809(f) and Rule 1809, Interpretations and Policies .06 do not apply to MIAX PEARL, as these rules relate to SPIKES Index Options Settlement procedures and the SPIKES Special Settlement Auction, which will not occur on MIAX PEARL. Therefore, the Exchange believes that by now relocating these rules, it will avoid confusion and provide greater clarity and readability to the rules. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that its proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act 5 in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act 6 in particular, in that it is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanisms of a free and open market and a national market system and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. The Exchange believes the proposed change promotes just and equitable principles of trade and removes impediments to and perfects the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system because the proposed rule change improves the way the Exchange’s rulebook is organized, making it easier to read, and avoids confusion by moving rules which are not applicable to the Exchange’s affiliate, MIAX PEARL, into a different chapter of rules which is not incorporated by reference into to the rules of MIAX PEARL, therefore, helping market participants to better understand the rules of the Exchange and of its affiliate. The Exchange notes that the proposed change does not alter the application of each rule. As such, the proposed amendment would foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities and would remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national exchange system. In particular, the Exchange believes that the proposed change will provide greater clarity to Members 7 and the 5 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). 7 The term ‘‘Member’’ means an individual or organization approved to exercise the trading rights 6 15 E:\FR\FM\19NON1.SGM 19NON1
