Sunshine Act Meetings, 48460-48461 [2021-18756]

Download as PDF 48460 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 165 / Monday, August 30, 2021 / Notices the adoption of similar membership, registration and qualification rules by BX’s affiliated exchanges. In that rule change, BX amended its Rule 1050 (now General 9, Section 51) to remove references to NASD Rules 2711, 1050, 1022 and 1120 and it replaced those references with FINRA Rules 1120, 1250, and 2241.9 The reference to FINRA Rule 1120 was in error because, at that time, FINRA Rule 1120 did not exist. NASD Rule 1120 was adopted as FINRA Rule 1250.10 Also, the references to FINRA Rule 1250 were in error because FINRA Rule 1250 was renumbered as FINRA Rule 1240.11 Of note, NASD Rules 1050 (Registration of Research Analysts) and 1022 (Categories of Principal Registrations) were superseded by the FINRA Rule 1200 Series but this was not reflected within SR–FINRA–2018–078 [sic].12 At this time, Nasdaq [sic] proposes to remove the incorrect references to FINRA Rules 1120 and 1250 as such rules do not exist. The Exchange proposes to update the reference to FINRA Rule 1250 with a reference to current FINRA Rule 1240. The Exchange also proposes to add references to FINRA Rules 1220(a)(6), (a)(14), and (b)(6), because they correspond to previous NASD Rules 1050 and 1022. These changes would reflect the current FINRA rules relating to research analysts. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,13 in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,14 in particular, in that it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade and to protect investors and the public interest. The Exchange’s proposal to remove inaccurate FINRA rule references from General 9, Section 51 and replace them with references to current FINRA rules that apply to research analysts and [sic] is consistent with the Act. The Exchange’s proposal will align Nasdaq’s [sic] rule to FINRA rules. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES 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 not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others No written comments were either solicited or received. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action Because the foregoing 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 for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 15 and Rule 19b– 4(f)(6) thereunder.16 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. If the Commission takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or disapproved. IV.
