The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval. The Statement was issued by the Commission, together with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of Thrift Supervision (together, the ‘‘Agencies’’), in May 2006. The Statement describes the types of internal controls and risk management procedures that the Agencies believe are particularly effective in assisting financial institutions to identify and address the reputational, legal, and other risks associated with elevated risk complex structured finance transactions. The primary purpose of the Statement is to ensure that these transactions receive enhanced scrutiny by the institution and to ensure that the institution does not participate in illegal or inappropriate transactions. The Commission estimates that approximately 5 registered brokerdealers or investment advisers will spend an average of approximately 25 hours per year complying with the PO 00000 Frm 00111 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 45929 Statement. Thus, the total time burden is estimated to be approximately 125 hours per year. Written comments are invited on: (a) whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission’s estimates of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted by July 23, 2024. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2 notice is hereby given that on May 10, 2024, Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc. (the ‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘EDGX’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Exchange filed the proposal as a ‘‘non-controversial’’ proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 3 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.4 The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc. (the ‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘EDGX’’) proposes to introduce a new connectivity offering. A notice of the proposed rule change for publication in the Federal Register is attached as Exhibit 1 [sic].

The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements. A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose The Exchange proposes to introduce a new connectivity offering relating to the use of Dedicated Cores. By way of background, all Central Processing Units (‘‘CPU Cores’’) have historically been shared by logical order entry ports (i.e., multiple logical ports from multiple firms may connect to a single CPU Core). Starting June 3, 2024, the Exchange will allow Users 5 to assign a single Binary Order Entry (‘‘BOE’’) logical order entry port 6 to a single dedicated CPU Core (‘‘Dedicated Core’’).7 Use of Dedicated Cores can provide reduced latency, enhanced throughput, and improved performance since a firm using a Dedicated Core is utilizing the full processing power of a CPU Core instead of sharing that power with other firms. This offering is completely voluntary and will be available to all Users.8 Users will also continue to have the option to utilize BOE logical order entry ports on shared CPU Cores as they do today, either in lieu of, or in addition to, their use of Dedicated Core(s). As such, Users will be able to operate across a mix of shared and dedicated CPU Cores which the Exchange believes provides additional risk and capacity management, especially during times of market 5 A User may be either a Member or Sponsored Participant. The term ‘‘Member’’ shall mean any registered broker or dealer that has been admitted to membership in the Exchange, limited liability company or other organization which is a registered broker or dealer pursuant to Section 15 of the Act, and which has been approved by the Exchange. A Sponsored Participant may be a Member or nonMember of the Exchange whose direct electronic access to the Exchange is authorized by a Sponsoring Member subject to certain conditions. See Exchange Rule 11.3. 6 Users may currently connect to the Exchange using a logical port available through an application programming interface (‘‘API’’), such as the Binary Order Entry (‘‘BOE’’) protocol. A BOE logical order entry port is used for order entry. 7 The Exchange notes that firms will not have physical access to their Dedicated Core and thus cannot make any modifications to the Dedicated Core or server. All Dedicated Cores (including servers used for this service) are owned and operated by the Exchange. 8 The Exchange intends to submit a separate rule filing to adopt monthly fees related to the use of Dedicated Cores.

    Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and 
Exchange Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, 
Washington, DC 20549-2736

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the existing 
collection of information provided for in Rule 3a71-6 (17 CFR 240.3a71-
6), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). 
The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information 
to the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and 
approval.

[[Page 45930]]

    Rule 3a71-6 provides that non-U.S. security-based swap dealers and 
major security-based swap participants may comply with certain Exchange 
Act requirements via compliance with requirements of a foreign 
financial regulatory system that the Commission has determined by order 
to be comparable to those Exchange Act requirements, taking into 
account the scope and objectives of the relevant foreign requirements, 
and the effectiveness of supervision and enforcement under the foreign 
regulatory regime.
    Requests for substituted compliance may come from parties or groups 
of parties that may rely on substituted compliance, or from foreign 
financial authorities supervising such parties or their security-based 
swap activities. In practice, the Commission continues to expect that 
the greater portion of any such substituted compliance requests will be 
submitted by foreign financial authorities. For purposes of the PRA, 
the Commission continues to estimate that three security-based swap 
dealers or major security-based swap participants will submit 
substituted compliance applications.
    The Commission staff estimates that the total annual time burden 
associated with Rule 3a71-6 is 240 hours per year and the total annual 
cost burden associated with Rule 3a71-6 is $350,400 per year.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information 
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's 
estimates of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents, including through the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology. 
Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted by 
July 23, 2024.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it 
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
