Self-Regulatory Organizations; MIAX 

PEARL, LLC; Notice of Filing and 

Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed 

Rule Change To Provide Eligible 

Members Another Opportunity To Elect 

To Participate in the Maintaining 

Qualifications Program 

September 25, 2023. 

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 

19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act 

of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 

thereunder,2 notice is hereby given that 

on September 22, 2023, MIAX PEARL, 

LLC (‘‘MIAX Pearl’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) 

filed with the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) a 

proposed rule change as described in 

Items I and II below, which Items have 

been prepared by the Exchange. 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 

The Exchange is filing a proposal to 

amend Interpretation and Policy .01 to 

Exchange Rule 3103, Continuing 

Education, to provide eligible 

Members 3 another opportunity to elect 

to participate in the Maintaining 

Qualifications Program (‘‘MQP’’). 

The text of the proposed rule change 

is available on the Exchange’s website at 

https://www.miaxglobal.com/markets/ 

us-options/pearl-options/rule-filings, at 

MIAX Pearl’s principal office, 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 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

The Exchange proposes to amend 

Interpretation and Policy .01 to 

Exchange Rule 3103, Continuing 

Education, to provide eligible Members 

another opportunity to elect to 

participate in the Maintaining 

Qualifications Program (‘‘MQP’’). 

The continuing education program for 

registered persons of Members (‘‘CE 

Program’’) currently requires registered 

persons to complete continuing 

education consisting of a Regulatory 

Element and a Firm Element. The 

Regulatory Element is administered by 

the Financial Industry Regulatory 

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

behalf of the Exchange, focuses on 

regulatory requirements and industry 

standards, while the Firm Element is 

provided by each firm and focuses on 

securities products, services and 

strategies the firm offers, firm policies 

and industry trends. 

The CE Program is codified under the 

rules of the self-regulatory 

organizations. The CE Program for 

registered persons of Exchange Members 

is codified under Exchange Rule 3103, 

Continuing Education.4 This proposed 

rule change is based on a filing recently 

submitted by FINRA and is intended to 

harmonize the Exchange’s continuing 

education rules with those of FINRA so 

as to promote uniform standards across 

the securities industry.5 The proposed 

rule change is discussed in detail below. 

On June 10, 2022, the Exchange 

amended Exchange Rule 3100, 

Registration Requirements, and 

Exchange Rule 3103, Continuing 

Education, to, among other things, 

provide eligible individuals who
