Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 247 / Thursday, December 27, 2018 / Notices
Section 6(b)(5) of the Exchange Act,8 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
mechanism of a free and open market
and a national market system and, in
general, to protect investors and the
public interest.
Specifically, the Exchange believes
that proposed Article 14, Rule 1 relating
to arbitration would remove
impediments to and perfect the
mechanisms of a free and open market
and a national market system because it
would update the Exchange’s rules
governing arbitration to reflect that any
such arbitrations would be processed by
FINRA pursuant to the FINRA Codes of
Arbitration. The proposed rule is not
novel as it is based on NYSE National
Rule 12 and IEX Rule 12.110. The
Exchange believes the proposed rule
change fosters uniformity and
consistency in arbitration proceedings
and, as a result, would enhance the
administration and operation of the
arbitration process, thereby protecting
investors and the public interest. The
proposed rule change would therefore
promote consistency among the
Exchange and other SROs, such as
NYSE National and IEX, and make its
rules easier to navigate for the public,
the Commission, and members.
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 that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Exchange Act.
The proposed rule change is not
intended to address competitive issues
but rather is concerned solely with the
Exchange’s arbitration program.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
khammond on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES
No written comments were solicited
or received with respect to the proposed
rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The Exchange has filed the proposed
rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 9 and Rule
19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.10 Because the
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
prior to 30 days from the date on which
it was filed, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate, if
consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the
proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)
of the Act and Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii)
thereunder.
At any time within 60 days of the
filing of such 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
under Section 19(b)(2)(B) 11 of the Act to
determine whether the proposed rule
change should be approved or
disapproved.
