Description of the Amendments to the CAT NMS Plan II. Description of the Plan The Participants believe that the use of account numbers as the Firm Designated ID could give rise to additional security risks related to CAT Data. By prohibiting the use of account numbers as Firm Designated IDs, the Participants intend to limit the potential capture of sensitive data in the CAT that could be used to effect an unauthorized transaction in an account. The Participants propose to prohibit the use of account numbers as the Firm Designated ID solely for trading accounts that are not proprietary accounts. After discussions with the industry, the Participants believe that each Industry Member must make its own risk determination as to whether it believes it is necessary to mask the actual account number for any proprietary account of the Industry Member when reporting the Firm Designated ID to CAT. Accordingly, the Participants propose to amend the definition of a ‘‘Firm Designated ID’’ in Section 1.1 to provide that Industry Members may not use account numbers as the Firm Designated ID for trading accounts that are not proprietary accounts. Specifically, the Participants propose to add the following to the definition of a Firm Designated ID: ‘‘provided, however, such identifier may not be the account number for such trading account if the Set forth in this Section II is the statement of the purpose and summary of the amendment, along with information required by Rule 608(a)(4) and (5) under the Exchange Act,6 as prepared and submitted by the Participants to the Commission.7 The proposed revisions to the CAT NMS Plan, as prepared and submitted by the Participants, are attached as Appendix A. and approved by the Commission, as modified, on November 15, 2016. See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 77724 (April 27, 2016), 81 FR 30614 (May 17, 2016); 79318 (November 15, 2016), 81 FR 84696 (November 23, 2016) (‘‘CAT NMS Plan Approval Order’’). On January 30, 2017, the Commission noticed for immediate effectiveness an amendment to the Plan to add MIAX PEARL, LLC as a Participant.
