IV. Procedure: Request for Written Comments The Commission requests that interested persons provide written submissions of their views, data, and arguments with respect to the issues identified above, as well as any other concerns they may have with the Proposed Rule Change. In particular, the Commission invites the written views of interested persons concerning whether the Proposed Rule Change is consistent with Section 17A(b)(3)(F), (G), and (I), and (b)(4)(B) 32 and Rules 17ad– 22(e)(18)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv)(A) and (B), and (e)(23)(ii) 33 of the Exchange Act, or any other provision of the Exchange Act, or the rules and regulations thereunder. Although there do not appear to be any issues relevant to approval or disapproval that would be facilitated by an oral presentation of views, data, and arguments, the Commission will consider, pursuant to Rule 19b–4(g) under the Exchange Act,34 any request for an opportunity to make an oral presentation.35 The Commission asks that commenters address the sufficiency of 31 17 CFR 240.17ad–22(e)(23)(ii). U.S.C. 78q–1(b)(3)(F), 15 U.S.C. 78q– 1(b)(3)(G), 15 U.S.C. 78q–1(b)(3)(I), and 15 U.S.C. 78q–1(b)(4)(B). 33 17 CFR 240.17Ad–22(e)(18)(i), 17 CFR 240.17Ad–22(e)(18)(ii), 17 CFR 240.17Ad– 22(e)(18)(iii), 17 CFR 240.17Ad–22(e)(18)(iv)(A), 17 CFR 240.17Ad–22(e)(18)(iv)(B), and 17 CFR 240.17Ad–22(e)(23)(ii). 34 17 CFR 240.19b–4(g). 35 Section 19(b)(2) of the Exchange Act grants to the Commission flexibility to determine what type of proceeding—either oral or notice and opportunity for written comments—is appropriate for consideration of a particular proposal by a selfregulatory organization.
