COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–81889; File No. SR–IEX– 

2017–33] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations: 

Investors Exchange LLC; Notice of 

Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of 

Proposed Rule Change To Reflect 

Name Changes of NYSE MKT to NYSE 

American LLC and the National Stock 

Exchange to NYSE National, Inc. 

October 17, 2017. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) 1 of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 

‘‘Act’’) 2 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,3

notice is hereby given that, on October 

4, 2017, the Investors Exchange LLC 

(‘‘IEX’’ or the ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(the ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule 

change as described in Items I and II 

below, which Items have been prepared 

by the self-regulatory organization. The 

Commission is publishing this notice to 

solicit comments on the proposed rule 

change from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 

19(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange 

Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’),4 and Rule 19b–4 

thereunder,5 Investors Exchange LLC 

(‘‘IEX’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) is filing with the 

Commission a proposed rule change to 

amend Rules 2.220(a)(7) and 11.410(a) 

to reflect the name change NYSE MKT 

to NYSE American LLC (‘‘NYSE 

American’’) and the National Stock 

Exchange to NYSE National, Inc. 

(‘‘NYSE National’’). The Exchange has 

designated this rule change as ‘‘noncontroversial’’ under Section 19(b)(3)(A) 

of the Act 6 and provided the 

Commission with the notice required by 

Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.7 The text of 

the proposed rule change is available at 

the Exchange’s Web site at 

www.iextrading.com, at the principal 

office of the Exchange, and at the 

Commission’s Public Reference Room. 

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and the 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

In its filing with the Commission, the 

self-regulatory organization included 

statements concerning the purpose of 

and basis for the proposed rule change 

and discussed any comments it received 

on the proposed rule change. The text 

of these statements may be examined at 

the places specified in Item IV below. 

The self-regulatory organization has 

prepared summaries, set forth in 

Sections A, B, and C below, of the most 

significant aspects of such statements. 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and the 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

The Exchange proposes to amend 

Rules 2.220(a)(7) and 11.410(a) to reflect 

reflect [sic] the name change NYSE 

MKT to NYSE American 8 and the 

National Stock Exchange to NYSE 

National.9 IEX Rule 2.220(a)(7) lists the 

away trading centers that IEX Services 

LLC (‘‘IEX Services’’) routes to as 

outbound router for the Exchange. Rule 

11.410(a) specifies the market data 

sources for each away trading center 

that the Exchange uses for necessary 

price reference points. The proposed 

changes are nonsubstantive and do not 

alter the manner in which orders are 

handled or routed by the Exchange. The 

Exchange notes that NYSE National 

ceased operations on February 1, 2017 

and has not yet re-launched 

operations.10

2. Statutory Basis 

IEX believes that the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the provisions 

of Section 6(b) 11 of the Act in general, 

and furthers the objectives of Section 

6(b)(5) of the Act 12 in particular, in that 

it is designed to prevent fraudulent and 

manipulative acts and practices, to 

promote just and equitable principles of 

trade, 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 it is consistent with 

the Act to update the referenced rules to 

reflect the name changes of NYSE 

American and NYSE National so that 

IEX’s rules accurately specify away 

markets referenced, as well as to avoid 

any potential confusion on the part of 

market participants. As noted in the 

Purpose section, the proposed changes 

are nonsubstantive and do not alter the 

manner in which orders are handled or 

routed by the Exchange. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

IEX does not believe that the 

proposed rule change will result in any 

burden on competition that is not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act. The 

Exchange believes that the proposed 

correction does not impact competition 

in any respect since it is designed to 

simply update away market names. 

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 

Because the foregoing proposed rule 

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 if 

consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest, 

provided that the self-regulatory

18For purposes only of waiving the 30-day 

operative delay, the Commission has considered the 

proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, 

and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).

organization has given 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,13 the proposed rule 

change has become effective pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 14 and 

Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.15

A proposed rule change filed under 

Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 16 normally does not 

become operative prior to 30 days after 

the date of the filing. However, pursuant 

to Rule 19b4(f)(6)(iii),17 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 so that 

the proposal may become operative 

immediately upon filing. The 

Commission notes that the proposed 

rule change does not present any new, 

unique or substantive issues, but rather 

is merely updating references to away 

markets in two of the Exchange’s rules 

and that waiver of the 30-day operative 

delay will help prevent potential 

confusion to market participants. 

Therefore, the Commission believes that 

waiving the 30-day operative delay is 

consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest and 

designates the proposed rule change as 

operative upon filing.18

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) 19 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. 

Comments may be submitted by any of 

the following methods:
