8 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). 

9 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Phlx has 

given the Commission written notice of its 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 on 

which the Exchange filed the proposed rule change. 

See 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). 

10For the purposes only of waiving the operative 

date of this proposal, the Commission has 

considered the proposed rule’s impact on 

efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 

15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 11 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

the protection of investors or the public 

interest; (2) impose any significant 

burden on competition; and (3) become 

operative for 30 days from the date on 

which it was filed, or such shorter time 

as the Commission may designate if 

consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest, it has 

become effective pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 8 and Rule 19b–

4(f)(6) thereunder.9

Phlx has requested that the 

Commission waive the 30-day operative 

delay and designate the proposed rule 

change to become operative 

immediately. The Commission believes 

that granting this request is consistent 

with the protection of investors and the 

public interest because the Exchange is 

merely clarifying which securities do 

not trade in all three of its trading 

sessions when such trading hours have 

been established pursuant to other 

proposed rule changes. Therefore, the 

Commission designates the proposed 

rule change as operative upon filing.10

At any time within 60 days of the 

filing of such proposed rule change, the 

Commission may summarily abrogate 

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 the furtherance of the 

purposes of the Act.
