Sunshine Act Meeting; Cancellation, 9116 [2021-02961]

Download as PDF 9116 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 27 / Thursday, February 11, 2021 / Notices 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 34 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.35 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. A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 36 normally does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b4(f)(6)(iii),37 the Commission may 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 immediately upon filing. The Exchange states that waiver of the operative delay would allow the Exchange to deploy the new functionality immediately, which would help to ease the potential disruption to floor trading in the event that the Exchange is required to temporarily close its trading floor for reasons related to COVID–19.38 The Commission believes that waiver of the operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest because it will allow the Exchange to implement the proposed functionality without delay in the event that the Exchange must temporarily close its trading floor. As discussed above, the proposed AON complex CUBE auction is substantially similar to the paired solicited complex order auctions in place on other options exchanges and does not raise new or novel regulatory issues.39 In addition, khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES 34 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii). 35 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 36 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 37 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). 38 The Exchange notes that it temporarily closed its trading floor for several months in 2020 and for the last week of December 2020 for reasons related to COVID–19.

VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:39 Feb 10, 2021 Jkt 253001 the proposed changes to the single-leg AON CUBE provisions in Rule 971.1NY should help to avoid confusion by assuring that the descriptions of the single-leg and the complex AON CUBE auctions remain consistent. Accordingly, the Commission hereby waives the 30-day operative delay and designates the proposal operative upon filing.40 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. If the Commission takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings under Section 19(b)(2)(B) 41 of the Act to determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or disapproved. IV.
