Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition IEX does not believe that the proposal will result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. As explained above, the purpose of this proposal is to modify the manner in which IEX will migrate its data center, as described in the Data Center Migration Filing. As described in the Purpose and Statutory Basis section, the Exchange does not believe that this change will place any burden on competition and will reduce burdens on Members and market participants. Moreover, the proposed change is not designed for any competitive purpose. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others Written comments were neither solicited nor received. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action The Exchange has designated this rule filing as non-controversial under Section 19(b)(3)(A) 24 of the Act and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 25 thereunder. Because the 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 and Rule 19b– 4(f)(6) thereunder. The Exchange has requested the Commission waive the five-day prefiling requirement for this filing to enable IEX to conduct an orderly migration of its data center in the coming weeks, while providing a minimum of 10 days’ notice of the migration date. Further, and as described in the Purpose and Statutory Basis sections, the proposal is designed to streamline the data center migration and thereby reduce burdens on Members and market participants as well as reduce any potential risks thereto, while providing appropriate 24 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b– 4(f)(6)(iii) requires the self-regulatory organization to give the Commission written notice of the selfregulatory organization’s 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. IEX has satisfied this requirement. 25 17 VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:07 Nov 04, 2024 Jkt 265001 transparency and clarity to market participants and the Commission regarding the data center migration and the related rule changes. A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 26 normally does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii),27 the Commission may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay to enable the proposed rule change to become operative upon filing. Waiving the 30-day delay in this manner would permit the Exchange to implement the proposed rule change during the weekend prior to the migration date, and thus without impacting normal trading. 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 under Section 19(b)(2)(B) 28 of the Act to determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or disapproved. IV. Solicitation of Comments Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views and arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods: Electronic Comments • Use the Commission’s internet comment form (https://www.sec.gov/ rules/sro.shtml); or • Send an email to rule-comments@ sec.gov.
