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. The Exchange 

has satisfied this requirement. 

19 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 

20 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). 

21See supra, note 11 and accompanying text. 

22For purposes 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). 23 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

A proposed rule change filed under 

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

become operative prior to 30 days after 

the date of the filing. However, pursuant 

to Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii),20 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 rule 

change may become operative 

immediately upon filing. In its request 

for a waiver of the 30-day operative 

delay, the Exchange represents that on 

Friday, November 28, 2014, in 

observance of the Thanksgiving holiday, 

trading in the underlying S&P 500 Index 

cash market will close at 12:00 p.m. 

Chicago time and trading in the S&P 500 

futures cash market will close at 12:15 

p.m. Chicago time. The Exchange also 

represents that CME will conduct its 

EOM FV settlement procedures prior to 

3:15 p.m. Chicago time on certain 

holidays and abbreviated trading days 

that fall on the final business day of the 

calendar month.21 The Exchange 

believes that consistency with CME’s 

EOM FV settlement procedure is 

necessary to ensure fair and orderly 

markets, and therefore, requests that the 

Commission waive the 30-day operative 

delay to allow the Exchange to conduct 

special non-trading closing rotations for 

each series of SPX options in order to 

determine the theoretical ‘‘fair value’’ of 

such series as of the time of the close 

of trading in the underlying cash 

markets on Friday, November 28, 2014. 

The Commission notes that the 

Exchange failed to file this proposed 

rule change more than 30 days prior to 

the early close of the underlying S&P 

500 Index cash and S&P 500 futures 

cash markets on Friday, November 28, 

2014, and therefore, the Exchange needs 

the operative delay to be waived in 

order for its rules to allow it to conduct 

the non-trading closing rotation earlier 

than usual on November 28, 2014. The 

Commission believes that waiver of the 

operative delay, in this instance, is 

consistent with investor protection and 

the public interest. In particular, waiver 

of the operative delay will enable the 

Exchange to meet investor expectations 

by customizing its rule to account for 

early closure during holiday periods 

like November 28, 2014, when literal 

compliance with the current rule text 

would be illogical and contrary to the 

intent of the original rules as adopted. 

Accordingly, the Commission hereby 

waives the 30-day operative delay and 

designates the proposal operative upon 

filing.22

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 

to determine whether the proposed rule 

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.
