Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2 notice is hereby given that on February 21, 2019, Nasdaq PHLX LLC (‘‘Phlx’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II, below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The Exchange proposes to amend Phlx Rule 1101A, ‘‘Terms of Index Option Contracts,’’ to amend certain expiration timeframes and make technical corrections to this rule. The Exchange requests that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay period contained in Exchange Act Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii).3 The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange’s website at https://nasdaqphlx.cchwallstreet.com/, at the principal office of the Exchange, and at the Commission’s Public Reference Room.

Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 1101A, ‘‘Terms of Index Options Contracts,’’ to amend expirations for Phlx index options. The Exchange also proposes to amend expirations related to the listing and trading, on a pilot basis, of p.m.-settled options on broadbased indexes with nonstandard expiration dates (‘‘Nonstandard Program’’). Finally, the Exchange proposes technical amendments within Phlx Rule 1101A. Each rule change will be discussed below. Expirations of Index Options and Technical Amendments The Exchange proposes to add titles and re-number/re-letter Rule 1101A. The Exchange proposes to add the title ‘‘General’’ to the beginning of the rule. The Exchange proposes to add the title ‘‘Exercise Prices’’ in front of current Rule 1101A and the title ‘‘Strike Prices’’ before the paragraph after the list of sector indexes. The Exchange proposes to add these titles and re-number/reletter this rule to make the rule more clear and add the various sections to provide ease of reference as to the content of the rule. The Exchange proposes to relocate current Rule 1033A to new section Rule 1101A(a)(1). The Exchange proposes a new section Rule 1101A(a)(4) with a title ‘‘Expiration Months and Weeks.’’ The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 1101A to add specific expiration months and weeks to Rule 1101A similar to expiration months and weeks at Cboe Exchange, Inc.

The Exchange may: • List up to six standard monthly expirations at any one time in a class, but will not list index options that expire more than 12 months out; • list up to 12 standard monthly expirations at any one time for any class that the Exchange (as the Reporting Authority) uses to calculate a volatility index and for CBOE S&P 500 a.m./PM Basis, EAFE, EM, FTSE Emerging, FTSE Developed, FTSE 100, China 50, and S&P Select Sector Index (SIXM, SIXE, SIXT, SIXV, SIXU, SIXR, SIXI, SIXY, SIXB, and SIXRE, and SIXC) options; • list up to 12 consecutive weekly expirations in VXST options; and, • list up to six weekly expirations and up to 12 standard (monthly) expirations in VIX options. The six weekly expirations shall be for the nearest weekly expirations from the actual listing date and weekly expirations may not expire in the same E:\FR\FM\05MRN1.SGM 05MRN1
