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).

21 See supra, note 11 and accompanying text. 22 For 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.
