the Commission staff has been reviewing the disclosures on Instinet 
CBX's initial Form ATS-N. In addition, the staff has been engaged in

    \1\ An NMS Stock ATS (as defined in Rule 300(k) of Regulation 
ATS) that was operating pursuant to an initial operation report on

disclose to the public for the first time, certain information, 
including descriptions by the NMS Stock ATSs of their fees, the trading

granting access to trading on the NMS Stock ATSs, and their written 
safeguards and procedures for protecting their subscribers' 
confidential trading information required by revised Rule 301(b)(10) of

procedures, conditional order processes, segmentation of orders, and 
counterparty selection protocols. The Commission staff needs additional 
time to review novel and complex issues such as these, which Commission

Commission review period for an additional 120 calendar days will 
provide Commission staff an opportunity to continue its review of the

about the initial Form ATS-N disclosures and the ATS operations, 
Commission staff and Instinet CBX have discussed a potential amendment

operations. Extending the review period will enable the NMS Stock ATS 
to amend its disclosures, if appropriate, and allow Commission staff to 
conduct a thorough review of amendments to the initial disclosures 
provided on the initial Form ATS-N.
    For the reasons given above, the Commission is extending the review 
period of the initial Form ATS-N submitted by Instinet CBX. 
Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 304(a)(1)(iv)(B), October 6, 2019 is the 
date by which the Commission may declare the initial Form ATS-N 
submitted by Instinet CBX ineffective.

    By the Commission.
