Download as PDF 62866 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 176 / Wednesday, September 13, 2023 / Notices Technical Amendments because the phrase is not necessary as the subsequent clause makes clear which cPBBO will be referenced. Technical Amendments The Exchange’s proposal to make two technical amendments within Options 4A, Options Index Rules, are consistent with the Act as the amendments to Options 4A, Sections 6 and 12 are nonsubstantive. 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. PIXL Entry Checks Phlx’s proposal to amend Options 3, Section 13(a)(1)–(3) to harmonize the language within the PIXL entry checks with language within GEMX’s PIM, ISE’s PIM, MRX’s PIM and BX’s PRISM, without changing the substantive operations of these price improvement auctions, does not impose an undue burden on competition because market participants will be able to compare Phlx’s PIXL entry checks with similar mechanisms on Nasdaq affiliated markets. Amending Options 3, Section 13(a)(1)–(3) to specify the entry checks that are utilized by Phlx’s System today to initiate a PIXL does not impose an undue burden on competition because these checks will apply uniformly to any order entered into PIXL. Further, the proposed amendments will add transparency to the current System functionality as the various System checks are noted for each side of the PIXL Order. Further, the Exchange is not substantively amending the current System functionality. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Auction Process The Exchange’s proposal to amend Options 3, Section 13(b)(4) to replace references to ‘‘Limit Order,’’ ‘‘order’’ and ‘‘orders’’ within Options 3, Section 13(b)(4) with the word ‘‘interest’’ does not impose an undue burden on competition because all quotes will participate in a PIXL as an unrelated order. The clarification will make the rule text transparent. Amending Options 3, Section 13(b)(6) to remove the term ‘‘then-existing’’ from the paragraph does not impose an undue burden on competition because the phrase is not necessary as the subsequent clause makes clear which cPBBO will be referenced. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:37 Sep 12, 2023 Jkt 259001 The Exchange’s proposal to make two technical amendments within Options 4A, Options Index Rules, do not impose an undue burden on competition as the amendments to Options 4A, Sections 6 and 12 are non-substantive. 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 after the date of the filing, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 8 and Rule 19b– 4(f)(6) thereunder.9 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 should be approved or disapproved. IV.
