Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 234 / Thursday, December 6, 2018 / Notices
approval order.4 The Exchange will
make public on its website any data and
analysis it submits to the Commission
under the pilot program.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its
proposal 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
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism 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 rule
change will protect investors and the
public interest by preserving the
opportunity to list NDXPM options until
May 6, 2019, providing the Exchange,
the Commission and investors the
benefit of a pilot program of sufficient
duration to yield meaningful
information concerning the impact of
NDXPM options on the market.
khammond on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on competition not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act. NDXPM
options would be available for trading to
all market participants. The proposed
rule change will facilitate the listing and
trading of a novel option product that
will enhance competition among market
participants, to the benefit of investors
and the marketplace. The listing of
NDXPM will enhance competition by
providing investors with an additional
investment vehicle, in a fully-electronic
trading environment, through which
investors can gain and hedge exposure
to NASDAQ–100 stocks. Further, this
product could offer a competitive
alternative to other existing investment
products that seek to allow investors to
gain broad market exposure. Also, the
Exchange notes that it is possible for
other exchanges to develop or license
the use of a new or different index to
compete with the NASDAQ–100 and
seek Commission approval to list and
trade options on such an index.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
No written comments were either
solicited or received.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Because the foregoing proposed rule
change does not: (i) Significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant
burden on competition; and (iii) become
operative for 30 days from the date on
which it was filed, or such shorter time
as the Commission may designate, it has
become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 7 and
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b–4
thereunder.8
At any time within 60 days of the
filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission summarily may
temporarily suspend such rule change if
it appears to the Commission that such
action is necessary or appropriate in the
public interest, for the protection of
investors, or otherwise in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act. If the
Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings
to determine whether the proposed rule
should be approved or disapproved.
IV. Solicitation of Comments
Interested persons are invited to
submit written data, views and
arguments concerning the foregoing,
including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act.
Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:
