Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 112 / Wednesday, June 10, 2020 / Notices A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b–4(f)(6) under the Act 33 normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date of its filing. However, Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) 34 permits the Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal may become operative upon filing. The Exchange states that a waiver of the operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest because it would allow for the immediate trading, pursuant to UTP, of Tracking Fund Shares on the Exchange and therefore would provide investors with an additional trading venue option. The Commission believes that waiver of the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the operative delay and designates the proposed rule change operative upon filing.35 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.
