5See Commentary .04(b) to Rule 928NY 

(providing that ATP Holders may avail themselves 

of one of the three risk limitation mechanisms for 

certain of their orders). Under the current Rule, 

Market Makers are required to utilize the risk 

limitation settings for quotes and the Exchange is 

not proposing to alter any aspect of this Rule in this 

regard. See also Commentary .04(a) to Rule 928NY;

would cancel all of the open orders—as opposed to 

cancelling only those in the option class

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 

Rule 928NY (Risk Limitation 

Mechanism) to allow certain order types 

to be excluded from the risk limitation 

mechanism. Specifically, the Exchange 

proposes to provide ATP Holders with 

the option to exclude Immediate-OrCancel (‘‘IOC’’) orders from being 

counted against risk limitation 

thresholds.4

Risk Limitation Mechanisms 

The Exchange offers ATP Holders the 

option of utilizing risk limitation 

settings to assist ATP Holders in 

managing risk related to submitting 

orders during periods of increased and 

significant trading activity.5 An ATP 

Holder can utilize one of three risk 

limitation mechanisms for its orders— 

based on the number of transactions 

executed, the number of contracts 

traded, or the percent of the ATP 

Holder’s order size—which 

automatically cancels such orders when 

certain parameter settings are breached.6

The Exchange maintains trade counters 

that increment based on the number of 

trades executed, either from a single-leg 

order or any leg of a Complex Order, in 

any series in a specified class.7 The 

trade counters reset after an Exchangedetermined time period.8 When an ATP 

Holder has breached its risk settings 

(i.e., has traded more than the contract 

or volume limit or cumulative 

percentage limit of a class during the 

specified measurement interval), the 

Exchange will cancel all of the ATP 

Holder’s open orders in that class until 

the ATP Holder notifies the Exchange it 

will resume submitting orders.9 The 

temporary suspension of orders from the 

market that results when the risk 

settings are triggered is meant to operate 

as a safety valve that enables ATP 

Holders to re-evaluate their positions 

before requesting to re-enter the market. 

Proposed Exclusion of IOC Orders From 

Risk Settings 

Under the current Rule, an ATP 

Holder may activate a Risk Limitation 

Mechanism, and corresponding settings, 

for orders in a specified class and, once 

activated, the mechanism and the 

settings established will remain active 

unless, and until, the ATP Holder 

deactivates the Risk Limitation 

Mechanism or changes the settings.10

Thus, once an ATP Holder activates risk 

settings for orders in a specified class, 

the risk settings apply to all order types 

in that options class. The Exchange 

proposes to modify the rule to provide 

an ATP Holder that chooses to utilize 

risk settings for its orders the option to 

exclude both single-legged orders and 

Complex Orders designated as IOC from 

being considered by the trade counter. 

To effect this change, proposed 

Commentary .07 to Rule 928NY would 

be amended to provide that ‘‘[a]ny ATP 

Holder that activates the Risk Limitation 

Mechanisms for orders pursuant to 

Commentary .04(b) of this Rule may opt 

to exclude any orders (i.e., whether 

single-leg orders or Complex Orders) 

designated with a time-in-force of IOC 

from being considered by a trade 

counter.’’ 11

By their terms, IOC orders (or portions 

thereof) will cancel if not immediately 

executed. As such, IOC orders are never 

ranked (as resting interest) in the 

Consolidated Book. The Exchange 

believes that certain OTPs [sic] utilize 

IOC orders to access liquidity on the 

Exchange. Thus, the proposed change is 

designed to accommodate participants 

that utilize IOCs in this manner by 

enabling them to exclude IOC orders 

from being counted and avoid 

potentially triggering their risk settings 

(prematurely), resulting in the 

cancellation of open orders. The 

Exchange believes that providing ATP 

Holders this additional flexibility may 

encourage more ATP Holders to utilize 

the risk settings, which benefits all 

market participants. The Exchange also 

believes that the proposed change 

would result in risk settings that may be 

better calibrated to suit the needs of 

certain ATP Holders (i.e., those that 

routinely utilize IOC orders to access 

liquidity on the Exchange), which 

improved risk settings should encourage 

ATP Holders to direct additional order 

flow and liquidity to the Exchange. 

The Exchange notes that the proposed 

change is limited to IOC orders being 

counted towards whether a risk 

limitation threshold has been reached. 

In the event an ATP Holder breaches its 

risk limitation settings, any new orders 

in the specified class, including 

incoming IOC orders, sent by the ATP 

Holder would be rejected until the ATP 

Holder requests that the Exchange 

enable the entry of new orders.12

Implementation 

The Exchange will announce by 

Trader Update the implementation date 

of the proposed rule change, which 

implementation will be no later than 90 

days after the effectiveness of this rule 

change. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes that its 

proposal is consistent with Section 6(b) 

of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(the ‘‘Act’’),13 in general, and furthers 

the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the 

Act,14 in particular, in that it is designed 

to prevent fraudulent and manipulative 

acts and practices, to promote just and 

equitable principles of trade, to foster 

cooperation and coordination with 

persons engaged in regulating, clearing, 

settling, processing information with 

respect to, and facilitating transactions 

in securities, to remove impediments to 

and perfect the mechanism of a free and 

open market and a national market 

system and, in general, to protect 

investors and the public interest. 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed rule change removes 

impediments to and perfects the 

mechanism of a free and open market by 

providing ATP Holders greater control 

and flexibility over setting their risk 

tolerance, which may enhance the 

efficacy of the risk settings. By their 

terms, IOC orders (or portions thereof) 

will cancel if not immediately executed. 

As such, IOC orders are never ranked (as 

resting interest) in the Consolidated 

Book. The Exchange believes that

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 188 / Friday, September 29, 2017 / Notices 45655 

15The Exchange believes that the proposed 

correct of a typographical error in current 

Commentary .07 to Rule 928NY (see supra note 11) 

would add clarify [sic] and transparency to the Rule 

which benefits investors and the public interest. 

16 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). 17 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). As required under Rule 

19b–4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange provided the 

Commission with written notice of its intent to file 

the proposed rule change, along with a brief 

description and the 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. 

18 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 

19 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). 20For purposes only of waiving the 30-day 

operative delay, the Commission also has 

considered the proposed rule’s impact on 

efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 

15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 

certain market participants utilize IOC 

orders to access liquidity on the 

Exchange. Thus, the proposed change is 

designed to accommodate participants 

that utilize IOCs in this manner by 

enabling them to exclude IOC orders 

from being counted and avoid 

potentially triggering their risk settings 

(prematurely), resulting in the 

cancellation of open orders. The 

Exchange believes that providing ATP 

Holders this additional flexibility may 

encourage more ATP Holders to utilize 

the risk settings, which benefits all 

market participants. Further, the 

proposed change would promote just 

and equitable principles of trade 

because it would result in risk settings 

that may be better calibrated to suit the 

needs of certain OTPs [sic] (i.e., those 

that routinely utilize IOC orders to 

access liquidity on the Exchange), 

which improved risk settings should 

encourage ATP Holders to direct 

additional order flow and liquidity to 

the Exchange. To the extent additional 

order flow is submitted to the Exchange 

as a result of the proposed change, all 

market participants stand to benefit 

from increased trading.15

The Exchange notes that an ATP 

Holder has the option of utilizing risk 

settings for all orders submitted to the 

Exchange and, as proposed, would have 

the additional option of excluding from 

these risk settings any IOC orders in a 

given options class submitted to the 

Exchange. 

This proposed change, which was 

specifically requested by some ATP 

Holders, would foster cooperation and 

coordination with persons engaged in 

regulating, clearing, settling, and 

processing information with respect to, 

and facilitating transactions in, 

securities as it will be available to all 

OTPs [sic] on an optional basis and may 

encourage more ATP Holders to utilize 

this enhanced functionality to [sic] 

benefit of all market participants. 

Because the risk controls are designed to 

prevent the execution of erroneously 

priced trades, the Exchange believes 

that any proposal designed to increase 

the number of ATP Holders that utilize 

the functionality would benefit all 

market participants. 

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 is proposing a market 

enhancement that would provide ATP 

Holders with greater control and 

flexibility over setting their risk 

tolerance and, potentially, more 

protection over risk exposure. The 

proposal is structured to offer the same 

enhancement to all ATP Holders, 

regardless of size, and would not 

impose a competitive burden on any 

participant. The Exchange does not 

believe that the proposed enhancement 

to the existing risk limitation 

mechanism would impose a burden on 

competing options exchanges. Rather, 

the availability of this mechanism may 

foster more competition. Specifically, 

the Exchange notes that it operates in a 

highly competitive market in which 

market participants can readily favor 

competing venues. When an exchange 

offers enhanced functionality that 

distinguishes it from the competition 

and participants find it useful, it has 

been the Exchange’s experience that 

competing exchanges will move to 

adopt similar functionality. Thus, the 

Exchange believes that this type of 

competition amongst exchanges is 

beneficial to the market place [sic] as a 

whole as it can result in enhanced 

processes, functionality, and 

technologies. 

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 

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 16 and Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6) thereunder.17

A proposed rule change filed 

pursuant to Rule 19b–4(f)(6) under the 

Act 18 normally does not become 

operative for 30 days after the date of its 

filing. However, Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) 19

permits the Commission to 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 so that the Exchange can 

implement the proposal without delay. 

The Exchange believes that waiver of 

the operative delay would be consistent 

with the protection of investors and the 

public interest because it would enable 

the Exchange to implement without 

delay the proposed optional 

functionality, which the Exchange 

believes may, in turn, encourage more 

ATP Holders to utilize the optional risk 

settings for orders. Thus, the Exchange 

believes waiver of the operative delay 

would protect investors by enabling the 

Exchange to provide greater flexibility 

to its Risk Limitation Mechanisms for 

orders, which may result in increased 

usage of the risk settings to the benefit 

of all market participants. The 

Commission believes that waiver of the 

operative delay is consistent with the 

protection of investors and the public 

interest because it will provide ATP 

Holders with the flexibility to exclude 

IOC orders from consideration by a 

trade counter, which, the Exchange 

believes, could encourage additional 

ATP Holders to use the risk limitation 

settings. As noted above, the risk 

limitation settings are designed to assist 

ATP Holders in managing risk related to 

submitting orders during periods of 

increased and significant trading 

activity. Under the proposal, the ability 

to exclude IOC orders from 

consideration by a trade counter is 

optional; thus, an ATP Holder that 

utilizes the risk limitation settings and 

wishes to continue to have its IOC 

orders considered by a trade counter 

will be able to do so. Accordingly, the 

Commission hereby waives the 

operative delay and designates the 

proposed rule change operative upon 

filing.20

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

to determine whether the proposed rule 

change should be approved or
