Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC; Notice of Designation of a Longer Period for Commission Action on a Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 1, 15015-15016 [2019-07338]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 71 / Friday, April 12, 2019 / Notices burden on competition is extremely limited. In this instance, the proposed changes do not impose a burden on competition because the Exchange’s execution services are completely voluntary and subject to extensive competition both from other exchanges and from offexchange venues. The proposal to eliminate from the credit the requirement that members provide liquidity on NOM in Non-Penny Pilot Options is designed to promote competition by improving overall market quality on NOM. The Exchange also notes that its proposed change reflects the Exchange’s need to balance the incentives that it provides in return for the market improving behavior it seeks to incentivize. The Exchange has limited funds to apply toward incentives, and therefore must adjust its credit tier qualification criteria to ensure that it applies its limited funds in the most efficient manner. In sum, if the changes proposed herein are unattractive to market participants, it is likely that the Exchange will lose market share as a result. Accordingly, the Exchange does not believe that the proposed changes will impair the ability of members or competing order execution venues to maintain their competitive standing in the financial markets.

Purpose The purpose of the proposed rule change is to extend the current pilot program related to EDGX Rule 11.15, Clearly Erroneous Executions, to the close of business on October 18, 2019. This change is being proposed in connection with proposed amendments to the Plan to Address Extraordinary Market Volatility (the ‘‘Limit Up-Limit Down Plan’’ or the ‘‘Plan’’) that would allow the Plan to continue to operate on a permanent basis.5 On September 10, 2010, the Commission approved, on a pilot basis, changes to EDGX Rule 11.15 that, among other things: (i) Provided for uniform treatment of clearly erroneous execution reviews in multistock events involving twenty or more securities; and (ii) reduced the ability of the Exchange to deviate from the objective standards set forth in the rule.6 In 2013, the Exchange adopted a provision designed to address the 5 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 84843 (December 18, 2018), 83 FR 66464 (December 26, 2018) (File No. 4–631) (‘‘Eighteenth Amendment’’). 6 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 62886 (Sept. 10, 2010), 75 FR 56613 (Sept. 16, 2010) (SR– EDGX–2010–03). 6 17 VerDate Sep<11>2014 A.

The Exchange proposes to amend EDGX Rule 11.15 to untie the pilot program’s effectiveness from that of the Plan and to extend the pilot’s effectiveness to the close of business on October 18, 2019— i.e., six months after the expiration of the current pilot period for the Plan. If the pilot period is not either extended, replaced or approved as permanent, the prior versions of paragraphs (c), (e)(2), (f), and (g) shall be in effect, and the provisions of paragraphs (i) through (k) shall be null and void.11 In such an event, the remaining sections of EDGX Rule 11.15 would continue to apply to all transactions executed on the Exchange. The Exchange understands that the other national securities exchanges and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (‘‘FINRA’’) will 7 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 68814 (Feb. 1, 2013), 78 FR 9086 (Feb. 7, 2013) (SR– EDGX–2013–06). 8 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 72434 (June 19, 2014), 79 FR 36110 (June 25, 2014) (SR– EDGX–2014–12). 9 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 67091 (May 31, 2012), 77 FR 33498 (June 6, 2012) (the ‘‘Limit Up-Limit Down Release’’). 10 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 71809 (March 26, 2014), 79 FR 18353 (April 1, 2014) (SR– EDGX–2014–007). 11 See supra notes 6–8. The prior versions of paragraphs (c), (e)(2), (f), and (g) in effect before the 2010 changes to the rule generally provided greater discretion to the Exchange with respect to breaking erroneous trades.
