Sunshine Act Meetings, 49778-49779 [2019-20609]

Download as PDF 49778 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 184 / Monday, September 23, 2019 / Notices any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange reiterates that the proposed rule change is being proposed in the context of a technology migration of the Cboe Affiliated Exchanges. As stated, the proposed changes to the rules that reflect functionality that will be in place come October 7, 2019 provide clear rules that accurately reflect postmigration functionality upon the completion of migration. The Exchange does not believe the proposed rule change will impose any burden on intramarket competition because the proposed cabinet orders will be available to all market participants to execute in open outcry in the same manner as they are able to execute their other orders. The Exchange notes that while cabinet orders must yield to closing cabinet orders on the floor first, this will not impact intramarket competition because it is the manner in which cabinet orders already trade and is in line with the primary purpose of cabinet trading to facilitate closing transactions in worthless or inactive series. The Exchange also does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on intermarket competition. As discussed above, the basis for the proposed rule change regarding subpenny cabinets are the rules of other options exchanges, which have already been found consistent with the Act and approved by the Commission.21 In addition to this, these exchanges have substantially similar rules regarding cabinet trading.22 jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with NOTICES C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the proposed rule change. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action Because the foregoing rule does not (i) significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate if consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, provided that the selfregulatory organization has given the Commission written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change at least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule change or such shorter time as designated by the Commission,23 the proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 24 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.25 At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the Commission will institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or disapproved. IV.
