(September 21, 2021), 86 FR 53358 (September 27, 

2021) (Order Approving File No. SR–FINRA–2021–

subsequently filed copycat rule filings to align their 

continuing education rules with those of FINRA. 

See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 94513 

(March 24, 2022), 87 FR 18446 (March 30, 2022), 

(SR–CBOE–2022–012). 

6The FSAWP is a waiver program for eligible 

individuals who have left a member firm to work 

for a foreign or domestic financial services affiliate 

of a member firm. FINRA stopped accepting new 

participants for the FSAWP beginning on March 15, 

2022; however, individuals who were already 

participating in the FSAWP prior to that date had 

the option of continuing in the FSAWP. 

7See Rule 3.33.01. If such individuals elect to 

participate, they would be required to complete 

their initial annual content by the end of 2022 (i.e., 

by the end of the calendar year in which the 

proposed rule change is implemented). In addition, 

if such individuals elect to participate, their initial 

participation period would be adjusted based on the 

date that their registration was terminated.

(March 22, 2023), 88 FR 18359 (March 28, 2023) 

(SR–FINRA–2023–005). 

9To reflect the availability of the Second 

Enrollment Period, FINRA Rule 1240.01 clarifies 

that for all Look-Back Individuals who elect to 

participate in the MQP, their participation period 

would also be for a period of five years following 

the termination of their registration categories, as 

with other MQP participants.

Federal Register.

COMMISSION

2023–042] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe 

Exchange, Inc.; Notice of Filing and 

Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed 

Rule Change To Amend Its Rules 

Relating to the Continuing Education 

for Registered Persons as Provided 

Under Exchange Rule 3.33.01 

September 5, 2023. 

Pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 

‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on August 

23, 2023, Cboe Exchange, Inc. (the 

‘‘Exchange,’’ ‘‘Cboe Options,’’ or 

‘‘Cboe’’) filed with the Securities and 

Exchange Commission (the 

‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule 

change as described in Items I and II 

below, which Items have been prepared 

by the Exchange. The Exchange filed the 

proposal as a ‘‘non-controversial’’ 

proposed rule change pursuant to 

section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 3 and 

Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.4 The 

Commission is publishing this notice to 

solicit comments on the proposed rule 

change from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

Cboe Exchange, Inc. proposes to 

amend its rules relating to the 

Continuing Education for Registered 

Persons as provided under Exchange 

Rule 3.33.01. The text of the proposed 

rule change is provided in Exhibit 5. 

The text of the proposed rule change 

is also available on the Exchange’s 

website (http://www.cboe.com/ 

AboutCBOE/ 

CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), at 

the Exchange’s Office of the Secretary, 

and at the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room. 

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

In its filing with the Commission, the 

Exchange included statements 

concerning the purpose of and basis for 

the proposed rule change and discussed 

any comments it received on the 

proposed rule change. The text of these 

statements may be examined at the 

places specified in Item IV below. The 

Exchange has prepared summaries, set 

forth in sections A, B, and C below, of 

the most significant aspects of such 

statements. 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and the 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

The proposed rule change amends 

Exchange Rule 3.33.01 to provide 

eligible individuals another opportunity 

to elect to participate in the Maintaining 

Qualifications Program (‘‘MQP’’). 

In 2021, the Financial Industry 

Regulatory Authority, Inc. (‘‘FINRA’’) 

implemented rule changes, which 

amended FINRA’s Continuing 

Education (‘‘CE’’) Program requirements 

to, among other things, provide eligible 

individuals who terminate any of their 

representative or principal registration 

categories the option of maintaining 

their qualification for any terminated 

registration categories by completing 

annual continuing education through a 

new program, the MQP.5 Under FINRA 

Rule 1240.01, the MQP designated a 

look-back provision that, subject to 

specified conditions, extended the 

option to participate in the MQP to 

individuals who: (1) were registered as 

a representative or principal within two 

years immediately prior to March 15, 

2022 (the implementation date of the 

MQP); and (2) individuals who were 

participating in the Financial Services 

Affiliate Waiver Program (‘‘FSAWP’’) 6

under FINRA Rule 1210.09 (Waiver of 

Examinations for Individuals Working 

for a Financial Services Industry 

Affiliate of a Member) immediately 

prior to March 15, 2022 (collectively, 

‘‘Look-Back Individuals’’). 

In response to FINRA’s rule changes 

and to facilitate compliance with the 

Exchange’s CE Program requirements by 

members of multiple exchanges, the 

Exchange implemented rule changes to 

align with FINRA’s CE Program and 

adopted Exchange Rules 3.33(c), 

3.33.01, and 3.33.02. Such rules, among 

other things, provide eligible 

individuals who terminate any of their 

representative or principal registrations 

the option of maintaining their 

qualification for any of the terminated 

registrations by completing continuing 

education through the MQP. Further, 

Exchange Rule 3.33.01 includes a lookback provision that, subject to specified 

conditions, extends the option for 

maintaining qualifications following a 

registration category termination to (i) 

individuals who have been registered as 

a representative or principal within two 

years immediately preceding March 15, 

2022, and (ii) individuals who have 

been participants of the FSAWP 

immediately preceding March 15, 2022 

implementation (i.e., Look-Back 

Individuals). With respect to the 

FSAWP, the Exchange made the lookback provision available to individuals 

who are participants in the Exchange’s 

FSAWP or the FSA waiver programs of 

Exchange’s affiliate, Cboe C2 Exchange, 

Inc. (‘‘C2 Options’’), and/or FINRA 

immediately preceding March 15, 2022. 

Look-Back Individuals who elected to 

participate in the new MQP were 

required to make such election by 

March 15, 2022 (the implementation 

date of the MQP).7

FINRA recently submitted a proposal 

related to its CE Program (the ‘‘FINRA 

Rule Change’’).8 The proposal set forth 

changes to FINRA Rule 1240.01, which 

provide Look-Back Individuals a second 

opportunity to elect to participate in the 

MQP (the ‘‘Second Enrollment 

Period’’).9 In addition, the proposed rule
