Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 70 / Monday, April 13, 2015 / Notices 19727 

32 15 U.S.C. 78k–1(a)(1). 

33 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(a)(iii). 34 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6) requires a self-regulatory organization to give 

the Commission written notice of its intent to file 

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. The Exchange has satisfied this 

requirement. 35 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

Exchange Rules. As such, the proposed 

rule change would foster cooperation 

and coordination with persons engaged 

in facilitating transactions in securities 

and would remove impediments to and 

perfect the mechanism of a free and 

open market and a national market 

system. Similarly, the Exchange also 

believes that, by harmonizing the rules 

and across each BGM Affiliated 

Exchange with respect to the Plan, the 

proposal will enhance the Exchange’s 

ability to fairly and efficiently regulate 

its Members, meaning that the proposed 

rule change is equitable and will 

promote fairness in the market place. 

Finally, the proposal to remove the 

references to individual stock trading 

pauses promotes just and equitable 

principles of trade and removes 

impediments to, and perfects the 

mechanism of, a free and open market 

and a national market system. By 

eliminating the reference to trading 

pauses outside the scope of the Plan in 

its rules, the Exchange will help to 

alleviate any potential confusion with 

respect to such pauses, particularly in 

light of the implementation of the Plan. 

The proposed rule change is also 

consistent with Section 11A(a)(1) of the 

Act 32 in that it seeks to assure fair 

competition among brokers and dealers 

and exchange markets. 

Finally, the Exchange believes that 

the non-substantive, ministerial changes 

discussed above will contribute to the 

protection of investors and the public 

interest by helping to avoid confusion 

with respect to Exchange Rules. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

The Exchange does not believe that 

the proposed rule change will impose 

any burden on competition not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the act. To the 

contrary, allowing the Exchange to 

implement substantively identical rules 

across each of the BGM Affiliated 

Exchanges regarding the Plan does not 

present any competitive issues, but 

rather is designed to provide greater 

harmonization among Exchange, EDGX, 

BYX, and BZX rules of similar purpose. 

The proposed rule change should, 

therefore, resulting in less burdensome 

and more efficient regulatory 

compliance and understanding of 

Exchange Rules for common members of 

the BGM Affiliated Exchanges and an 

enhanced ability of the BGM Affiliated 

Exchanges to fairly and efficiently 

regulate Members, which will further 

enhance competition. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

The Exchange has neither solicited 

nor received written comments on the 

proposed rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

Because the foregoing 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)(iii) of the Act 33 and 

subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b–4 

thereunder.34

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: (i) Necessary or appropriate in 

the public interest; (ii) for the protection 

of investors; or (iii) 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

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice: 9092] 

In the Matter of the Review of the 

Designation of Revolutionary Armed 

Forces of Colombia also known as 

FARC; also known as Fuerzas 

Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia 

as a Foreign Terrorist Organization 

pursuant to Section 219 of the 

Immigration and Nationality Act, as 

amended 

Based upon a review of the 

Administrative Record assembled in 

these matter pursuant to Section 

219(a)(4)(C) of the Immigration and 

Nationality Act, as amended (8 U.S.C. 

1189(a)(4)(C)) (‘‘INA’’), and in 

consultation with the Attorney General 

and the Secretary of the Treasury, I 

conclude that the circumstances that 

were the basis for the 2008 decision to 

maintain the designation of the 

aforementioned organization as a 

Foreign Terrorist Organization have not 

changed in such a manner as to warrant 

revocation of the designation and that 

the national security of the United 

States does not warrant a revocation of 

the designation. 

Therefore, I hereby determine that the 

designation of the aforementioned 

organization as a Foreign Terrorist 

Organization, pursuant to Section 219 of 

the INA (8 U.S.C. 1189), shall be 

maintained. 

This determination shall be published 

in the Federal Register.
