organizations.6

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed rule change is consistent with 

Section 6(b) of the Act 7 in general, and 

furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) 

of the Act 8 in particular, because it is 

designed to prevent fraudulent and 

manipulative acts and practices, to 

promote just and equitable principles of 

trade, to foster cooperation and 

coordination with persons engaged in 

facilitating transactions in securities, 

and to remove impediments to and 

perfect the mechanism of a free and 

open market and a national market 

system.

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 that is not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants or Others 

Written comments on the proposed 

rule change were neither solicited nor 

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 

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 9 and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.10

At any time within 60 days of the filing 

of the proposed rule change, the 

Commission may summarily abrogate 

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.
