Download as PDF 19824 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 87 / Monday, May 6, 2019 / Notices underlying indices and allow investors and traders to roll open positions from a lower strike to a higher strike in conjunction with the price movements of the underlying ETFs.’’ 12 Cboe acknowledges that allowing series of QQQ and IWM options to be listed in $1 intervals between strike prices over $200 likely would increase the total number of options series available on the Exchange, but represents that: (1) It and the Options Price Reporting Authority (‘‘OPRA’’) have the necessary systems capacity to handle any potential additional traffic associated with this proposed rule change; (2) Trading Permit Holders would not have a capacity issue; and (3) the proposed expansion would not cause fragmentation of liquidity but, by providing more trading opportunities to market participants, instead would increase both available liquidity as well as price efficiency.13 In approving this proposal, the Commission notes that the Exchange has represented that it and OPRA have the necessary systems capacity to handle the potential additional traffic associated with this proposed rule change.17 The Exchange further stated that it believes its members will not have a capacity issue as a result of the proposal and that it does not believe this expansion will cause fragmentation of liquidity.18 III. Conclusion It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 19 that the proposed rule change (SR–CBOE–2019– 015) be, and hereby is, approved. For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.20 Eduardo A. Aleman, Deputy Secretary. [FR Doc. 2019–09148 Filed 5–3–19; 8:45 am] II. Discussion and Commission Findings BILLING CODE 8011–01–P After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange.14 In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,15 which requires, among other things, that the rules of a national securities exchange be designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts, 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 Commission believes that the proposed change accommodates the current levels of the respective indexes tracked by QQQ and IWM. In particular, permitting $1 strikes above $200 in such ETFs may provide the investing public and other market participants with more flexibility in their investment and hedging decisions in QQQ and IWM options and is consistent with past precedent for other similar ETFs that track broad-based indexes.16 SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 12 Id. id. at 9852–3 approving the proposed rule change, the Commission has considered its impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation.
