its trading floor for several months in 2020 and for 

the last week of December 2020 for reasons related 

to COVID–19. See Trader Update, December 24,

40For purposed only of waiving the 30-day 

operative delay, the Commission has considered the 

proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, 

and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 

41 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B). 42 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

The Exchange has filed the proposed 

rule change pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 34 and Rule 

19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.35 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 

prior to 30 days from the date on which 

it was filed, or such shorter time as the 

Commission may designate, if 

consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest, the 

proposed rule change has become 

effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 

of the Act and Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) 

thereunder. 

A proposed rule change filed under 

Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 36 normally does not 

become operative prior to 30 days after 

the date of the filing. However, pursuant 

to Rule 19b4(f)(6)(iii),37 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 so that 

the proposal may become operative 

immediately upon filing. The Exchange 

states that waiver of the operative delay 

would allow the Exchange to deploy the 

new functionality immediately, which 

would help to ease the potential 

disruption to floor trading in the event 

that the Exchange is required to 

temporarily close its trading floor for 

reasons related to COVID–19.38 The 

Commission believes that waiver of the 

operative delay is consistent with the 

protection of investors and the public 

interest because it will allow the 

Exchange to implement the proposed 

functionality without delay in the event 

that the Exchange must temporarily 

close its trading floor. As discussed 

above, the proposed AON complex 

CUBE auction is substantially similar to 

the paired solicited complex order 

auctions in place on other options 

exchanges and does not raise new or 

novel regulatory issues.39 In addition, 

the proposed changes to the single-leg 

AON CUBE provisions in Rule 971.1NY 

should help to avoid confusion by 

assuring that the descriptions of the 

single-leg and the complex AON CUBE 

auctions remain consistent. 

Accordingly, the Commission hereby 

waives the 30-day operative delay and 

designates the proposal operative upon 

filing.40

At any time within 60 days of the 

filing of such 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) 41 of the Act to 

determine whether the proposed rule 

change should be approved or 

disapproved. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments
