87926 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 214 / Tuesday, November 5, 2024 / Notices 

24 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). 

25 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6)(iii) requires the self-regulatory organization 

to give the Commission written notice of the selfregulatory organization’s intent to file the proposed 

rule change, along with a brief description and text 

of the proposed rule change, 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. IEX has satisfied this requirement. 

26 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 

27 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). 

28 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B). 29 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

IEX does not believe that the proposal 

will result in any burden on 

competition that is not necessary or 

appropriate in furtherance of the 

purposes of the Act. As explained 

above, the purpose of this proposal is to 

modify the manner in which IEX will 

migrate its data center, as described in 

the Data Center Migration Filing. As 

described in the Purpose and Statutory 

Basis section, the Exchange does not 

believe that this change will place any 

burden on competition and will reduce 

burdens on Members and market 

participants. Moreover, the proposed 

change is not designed for any 

competitive purpose. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

Written comments were neither 

solicited nor received. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

The Exchange has designated this rule 

filing as non-controversial under 

Section 19(b)(3)(A) 24 of the Act and 

Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 25 thereunder. 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 

for 30 days from the date on which it 

was filed, or such shorter time as the 

Commission may designate, it has 

become effective pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6) thereunder. The Exchange has 

requested the Commission waive the 

five-day prefiling requirement for this 

filing to enable IEX to conduct an 

orderly migration of its data center in 

the coming weeks, while providing a 

minimum of 10 days’ notice of the 

migration date. Further, and as 

described in the Purpose and Statutory 

Basis sections, the proposal is designed 

to streamline the data center migration 

and thereby reduce burdens on 

Members and market participants as 

well as reduce any potential risks 

thereto, while providing appropriate 

transparency and clarity to market 

participants and the Commission 

regarding the data center migration and 

the related rule changes. 

A proposed rule change filed under 

Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 26 normally does not 

become operative prior to 30 days after 

the date of the filing. However, pursuant 

to Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii),27 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 to enable the proposed 

rule change to become operative upon 

filing. Waiving the 30-day delay in this 

manner would permit the Exchange to 

implement the proposed rule change 

during the weekend prior to the 

migration date, and thus without 

impacting normal trading. 

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 

under Section 19(b)(2)(B) 28 of the Act to 

determine whether the proposed rule 

change 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.

the following methods:

Exchange Visitor Program 

ACTION: Notice of an agreement between 

the Government of the United States 

and the Swiss Federal Council and 

modification of certain regulatory 

requirements. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

requirements of the Exchange Visitor 

Program (EVP) regulations, the Principal 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), 

U.S. Department of State, has modified 

certain regulatory provisions to permit 

Swiss citizens aged 18 to 35 who are 

enrolled in or have graduated from a 

technical, vocational (apprenticeship), 

or professional training program or postsecondary institution to participate in 

the EVP’s Intern and Trainee categories. 

The Swiss Federal Council has 

established a reciprocal program for 

U.S. citizens aged 18 to 35 who wish to 

obtain further training in their field. 

DATES: This action is effective 

November 30, 2024.

Secretary for Private Sector Exchange at 

2200 C Street NW, SA–5, 5th Floor,

jexchanges@state.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Bureau of Educational and Cultural 

Affairs has concluded an agreement 

between the United States and the Swiss 

Federal Council in accordance with 

existing EVP regulations (22 CFR part 

62), including regulations applying to 

the Intern and Trainee categories (22 

CFR 62.22). The program supports the 

purposes of the Fulbright-Hays Act by 

increasing Swiss J-visa participants’ 

understanding of U.S. culture and 

society and enhancing U.S citizens’ 

knowledge of Swiss culture and society 

through an open interchange of ideas. A 

key goal of the Fulbright-Hays Act, 

which authorizes the Intern and Trainee 

categories, is that exchange visitors will 

return to their home countries and share 

their experiences in the United States. 

The goals of the agreement, signed on 

October 11, 2024, are to give eligible 

Swiss and U.S. citizens the opportunity 

to acquire hands-on professional 

experience in their field of study; 

improve their knowledge of U.S and 

Swiss languages, cultures, and skills; 

and encourage participant mobility at 

the start of their careers in order to 

foster mutual understanding between 

the two countries. Permitting Swiss
