Download as PDF 31388 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 126 / Monday, July 1, 2019 / Notices The Exchange’s DID analysis, as supplemented by Amendment No. 1, assisted the Commission in evaluating the Program’s impact and in determining that permanent approval of the Program, Exchange Rule 4780. The Commission finds that Amendment No. 1 is reasonably designed to perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and the national market system, protect investors and the public interest, and not be unfairly discriminatory, or impose an unnecessary or inappropriate burden on competition. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,37 the Commission finds good cause to approve the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, on an accelerated basis. khammond on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES VI. Limited Exemption From the SubPenny Rule Pursuant to its authority under Rule 612(c) of Regulation NMS,38 the Commission hereby grants the Exchange a limited exemption from the SubPenny Rule to operate the Program. For the reasons discussed below, the Commission determines that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, and is consistent with the protection of investors. When the Commission adopted the Sub-Penny Rule in 2005, the Commission identified a variety of problems caused by sub-pennies that the Sub-Penny Rule was designed to address: • If investors’ limit orders lose execution priority for a nominal amount, investors may over time decline to use them, thus depriving the markets of liquidity. • When market participants can gain execution priority for a nominal amount, important customer protection rules such as exchange priority rules and the Manning Rule 39 could be undermined. • Flickering quotations that can result from widespread sub-penny pricing could make it more difficult for brokerdealers to satisfy their best execution obligations and other regulatory responsibilities. • Widespread sub-penny quoting could decrease market depth and lead to higher transaction costs. • Decreasing depth at the inside could cause institutions to rely more on execution alternatives away from the exchanges, potentially increasing 37 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2). 38 17 CFR 242.612(c). 39 See Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 5320 (Prohibition Against Trading Ahead of Customer Orders). VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:58 Jun 28, 2019 Jkt 247001 fragmentation in the securities markets.40 The Commission believes that the limited exemption granted today should continue to promote competition between exchanges and OTC market makers in a manner that is reasonably designed to minimize the problems that the Commission identified when adopting the Sub-Penny Rule. Under the Program, sub-penny prices will not be disseminated through the consolidated quotation data stream, which should avoid quote flickering and its reduced depth at the inside quotation. Furthermore, the Commission does not believe that granting this limited exemption and approving the proposal would reduce incentives for market participants to display limit orders. As noted in the RPI Approval Order, market participants that displayed limit orders at the time were not able to interact with marketable retail order flow because that order flow was almost entirely routed to internalizing OTC market makers that offered sub-penny executions,41 and, as noted by the Exchange, the Program has attracted a small volume from the OTC market makers.42 As a result, enabling the Exchange to continue to compete for retail order flow through the Program should not materially detract from the current incentives to display limit orders, while potentially resulting in greater order interaction and price improvement for marketable retail orders on a public national securities exchange. To the extent that the Program may raise Manning and best execution issues for broker-dealers, these issues are already presented by the existing practices of OTC market makers. This permanent and limited exemption from the Sub-Penny Rule is limited solely to the operation of the Program by the Exchange. This exemption does not extend beyond the scope of Exchange Rule 4780. In addition, this exemption is conditioned on the Exchange continuing to conduct the Program, in accordance with Exchange Rule 4780 and any other Exchange Rules referenced therein, and substantially as described in the Exchange’s request for exemptive relief and the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1.43 Any changes in Exchange Rule 4780 may 40 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 51808 (June 9, 2005), 70 FR 37496 (June 29, 2005). 41 See RPI Approval Order, supra note 3, at 72053. 42 See Notice, supra note 4, at 21872–86. 43 See supra Section III.

Conclusion It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,44 that the proposed rule change (SR–BX–2019– 011), as modified by Amendment No. 1, be, and it hereby is, approved on an accelerated basis. It is further ordered that, pursuant to Rule 612(c) under Regulation NMS, that the Exchange shall be exempt from Rule 612(a) of Regulation NMS with respect to the operation of the Program as set forth in Exchange Rule 4780 as described herein.

The following is a brief overview of the request: The Benedum Airport Authority has submitted a land release request seeking FAA approval for the release of approximately 4.09 acres of federally obligated airport property for nonaeronautical use. The purpose of the release is to enable the airport to earn revenue from airport property that does not have an aeronautical use by allowing it to be used for nonaeronautical purposes. The airport will retain ownership of the property and lease it out. The property will be turned into a logistics and storage park that will house up to 4 buildings, parking, and an entrance road off of Route 50. The airport has received a United States Economic Development Authority (USEDA) grant to construct the logistics and storage facilities. The total project cost is $2,124,000 with the USEDA contributing $1,704,000 and a local match of $420,000. The 4.09 acres of land to be released from aeronautical use, was originally purchased with federal financial assistance through the AIP program under Grant Agreement 3–54–0005–16– 1996 as part of a larger purchase totaling approximately 120 acres. The purchase of the entire 120 acres was performed to accommodate a proposed runway extension. The subject area to be released is located off the south east corner of the runway and is well below the elevation of the movement area of the airport. It is also completely segregated from the terminal area and the facilities that serve airport users, VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:58 Jun 28, 2019 Jkt 247001 such as Terminal Parking and Fixed Base Operator (FBO) services. Therefore, the elevation difference and location of the property make if unusable for aeronautical purposes.

The rental income will be devoted to airport operations and capital projects. The proposed use of the property will not interfere with the airport or its operation; and will thereby, serve the interests of civil aviation. Issued in Beaver, West Virginia.
