11 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

general, to protect investors and the 

public interest. 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposal is designed to remove 

impediments to and perfect the 

mechanism of a free and open market 

and a national market system because 

the introduction of the MPL Order on 

the Exchange will increase competition, 

not only between market participants, 

but also between exchanges offering 

similar functionality. The MPL Order 

will enable Members to enter an order 

that is not displayed publicly but is to 

be executed at the midpoint of the 

PBBO. The Exchange believes this order 

type will enhance order execution 

opportunities on the Exchange and help 

provide Members with flexibility in 

executing transactions that meet the 

specific requirements of the order type. 

MPL Orders will allow for additional 

opportunities for investors to interact 

with orders priced at the midpoint of 

the PBBO, thus providing price 

improving liquidity to investors. The 

MPL Order will offer market 

participants added functionality and 

additional trading opportunities similar 

to what is offered in other trading 

venues. 

Additionally, the Exchange believes 

that the MPL Order definition is clear 

and transparent, thus ensuring the 

conditions under which an MPL Order 

will be executed, accepted by Exchange 

systems, or rejected, and therefore is 

designed to promote just and equitable 

principles of trade. 

The Exchange believes the 

incorporation of the MPL Order into the 

Retail Liquidity Program will further the 

objectives of the Program and is 

therefore designed to protect investors 

and the public interest. The Program 

was designed to increase competition 

among execution venues, encourage 

additional liquidity, and offer the 

potential for price improvement to retail 

investors. By including MPL Orders as 

available contra-side interest for Retail 

Orders, the proposal creates additional 

incentives to attract retail order flow to 

the exchange environment and ensures 

that retail investors benefit from the 

better prices afforded by MPL Orders. 

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 that is not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act. The 

Exchange believes the proposed MPL 

Order will enhance order execution 

opportunities for member organizations. 

Further, the Exchange believes the MPL 

Order will enhance competition 

between the Exchange and other 

exchanges that currently offer similar 

order types by offering investors another 

option to access liquidity at the 

midpoint of the PBBO. 

Additionally, by incorporating MPL 

Orders into the Retail Liquidity 

Program, the proposal will promote 

competition for retail order flow among 

execution venues, and will benefit retail 

investors by creating additional price 

improvement opportunities for their 

order flow. Because the MPL Order is 

priced at the midpoint of the PBBO, any 

Retail Order that executes against the 

MPL Order will be receiving price 

improvement. As such, the proposal 

enhances the Program and its objectives 

by creating additional incentives to 

attract retail order flow to the exchange 

environment, while helping to ensure 

that retail investors benefit from the 

better prices that Members submitting 

MPL Orders are willing to provide. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

No written comments were solicited 

or received with respect to the proposed 

rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register or within such longer period 

up to 90 days (i) as the Commission may 

designate if it finds such longer period 

to be appropriate and publishes its 

reasons for so finding or (ii) as to which 

the self-regulatory organization 

consents, the Commission will: 

(A) By order approve or disapprove 

the proposed rule change, or 

(B) institute proceedings to determine 

whether the proposed rule change
