jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
and, in particular, the requirements of
Section 6(b) of the Act.9 Specifically,
the Exchange believes the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Section
6(b)(5) 10 requirements that the rules of
an exchange be 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 regulating, clearing, settling,
processing information with respect to,
and 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.
Additionally, the Exchange believes the
proposed rule change is consistent with
the Section 6(b)(5) 11 requirement that
the rules of an exchange not be designed
to permit unfair discrimination between
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.
In particular, the Exchange believes
the proposed rule change will remove
impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market
and a national market system by
eliminating an arbitrary and
administrative process that the
Exchange believes is outdated and an
administrative burden to both TPHs and
the Exchange. As noted above, the
Exchange also does not believe such
requirement adds meaningful value. The
Exchange also does not believe it’s
required to maintain the requirement
and notes that other exchanges similarly
do not include such requirement. The
Exchange notes that it is not
substantively changing any rights or
obligations of nominees of floor Trading
Permits.
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. Particularly,
the Exchange does not believe that the
proposed rule change will impose any
burden on intramarket competition that
is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act
because the proposed change applies to
all TPHs. The proposed rule change also
does not address competitive issues, but
rather, amends a requirement relating to
nominees, particularly inactive
nominees, to eliminate a practice that
the Exchange no longer believes is
necessary. The Exchange does not

believe that the proposed rule change
will impose any burden on intermarket
competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act because the
proposed change only affects TPHs of
Cboe Options.
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
The Exchange has filed the proposed
rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 12 and Rule
19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.13 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; or (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)(iii) of the Act 14 and Rule
19b–4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.15
