SBIC Licensing and Examination Fees Inflation Adjustment, 52101-52102 [2022-18167]

Download as PDF 52101 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 163 / Wednesday, August 24, 2022 / Notices 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 30 and Rule 19b– 4(f)(6) thereunder.31 A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 32 normally does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii),33 the Commission may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal may become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the filing. The Exchange states that waiver of the operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest because the proposed Short Volume Report is nearly identical to the currently available NYSE Daily Short Volume file and Nasdaq Daily Short Volume file and would permit the Exchange to immediately make the Short Volume Report available to subscribers as an alternative to similar products offered by NYSE and Nasdaq. The Commission believes that waiver of the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest because the proposed rule change does not raise any new or novel issues. Accordingly, the Commission hereby waives the operative delay and designates the proposed rule change operative upon filing.34 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 to determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or disapproved. 30 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b– 4(f)(6)(iii) requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The Exchange has satisfied this requirement. 32 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 33 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). 34 For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay, the Commission also has considered the proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation.
