Download as PDF 12500 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 40 / Wednesday, March 3, 2021 / Notices 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and a national market system by eliminating an arbitrary and administrative process that the Exchange believes is outdated and an administrative burden to both TPHs and the Exchange.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 9 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). 11 Id. 10 15 VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:29 Mar 02, 2021 Jkt 253001 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 IV.
