Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and the Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose The Exchange proposes to update and amend the use of data feeds table in Rule 7.37, which sets forth on a marketby-market basis the specific securities information processor (‘‘SIP’’) and proprietary data feeds that the Exchange utilizes for the handling, execution, and routing of orders, and for performing the regulatory compliance checks related to each of those functions. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to amend the table in Rule 7.37(e) to specify that, with respect to the LTSE, the Exchange will receive the SIP feed as its primary source of data for order handling, order execution, order routing, and regulatory compliance. The Exchange will not have a secondary source for data from LTSE. The Exchange proposes that this proposed rule change would be operative on the day that LTSE launches operations as an equities exchange, which is currently scheduled for May 15, 2020.4 2. Statutory Basis The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,5 in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5),6 in particular, because it is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, 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 Exchange believes its proposal to amend the table in Rule 7.37(e) to include the data feed source for the LTSE will ensure that Rule 7.37 correctly identifies and publicly states on a market-by-market basis all of the specific SIP and proprietary data feeds that the Exchange utilizes for the handling, execution, and routing of orders, and for performing the regulatory compliance checks for each of those functions.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed change is not designed to address any competitive issue, but rather would provide the public and market participants with up-to-date information about the data feeds the Exchange will use for the handling, execution, and routing of orders, as well as for regulatory compliance. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the proposed rule change. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 7 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.8 Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to 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, the proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.9 At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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.

significant parts of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and the 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to update and amend the use of data feeds 
table in Rule 7.37, which sets forth on a market-by-market basis the 
specific securities information processor (``SIP'') and proprietary 
data feeds that the Exchange utilizes for the handling, execution, and 
routing of orders, and for performing the regulatory compliance checks 
related to each of those functions. Specifically, the Exchange proposes 
to amend the table in Rule 7.37(e) to specify that, with respect to the 
LTSE, the Exchange will receive the SIP feed as its primary source of 
data for order handling, order execution, order routing, and regulatory 
compliance. The Exchange will not have a secondary source for data from 
LTSE.
    The Exchange proposes that this proposed rule change would be 
operative on the day that LTSE launches operations as an equities 
exchange, which is currently scheduled for May 15, 2020.\4\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the 
Act,\5\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5),\6\ 
in particular, because it is designed to prevent fraudulent and 
manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable 
principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with 
persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, 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 Exchange believes its proposal to amend the 
table in Rule 7.37(e) to include the data feed source for the LTSE will 
ensure that Rule 7.37 correctly identifies and publicly states on a 
market-by-market basis all of the specific SIP and proprietary data 
feeds that the Exchange utilizes for the handling, execution, and 
routing of orders, and for performing the regulatory compliance checks 
for each of those functions. The proposed rule change also removes

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will 
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate 
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed change is not 
designed to address any competitive issue, but rather would provide the 
public and market participants with up-to-date information about the 
data feeds the Exchange will use for the handling, execution, and 
routing of orders, as well as for regulatory compliance.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
