for Registration as a National Securities Exchange Under Section 6 of 
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

November 30, 2018.
    On November 9, 2018, Long-Term Stock Exchange, Inc. (``LTSE'' or 
``Applicant'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission'') a Form 1 application under the Securities Exchange Act 
of 1934 (``Exchange Act''), seeking registration as a national 
securities exchange under Section 6 of the Exchange Act.
    The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on 
LTSE's Form 1 application. The Commission will take any comments it 
receives into consideration in making its determination about whether 
to grant LTSE's request to be registered as a national securities 
exchange. The Commission will grant the registration if it finds that 
the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations 
thereunder with respect to LTSE are satisfied.\1\

    The Applicant's Form 1 application provides detailed information on 
how LTSE proposes to satisfy the requirements of the Exchange Act. The 
Form 1 application also provides that LTSE would operate a fully 
automated electronic trading platform for the trading of listed 
equities and would not maintain a physical trading floor. It also 
provides that liquidity would be derived from orders to buy and orders 
to sell submitted to LTSE electronically by its registered broker-
dealer members, as well as from quotes submitted electronically by 
market makers. Further, the Form 1 application states that LTSE would 
be wholly-owned by its parent company, LTSE Holdings, Inc. (``LTSEH'').
    A more detailed description of the manner of operation of LTSE's 
proposed system can be found in Exhibit E to LTSE's Form 1 application. 
The proposed rulebook for the proposed exchange can be found in Exhibit 
B to LTSE's Form 1 application, and the governing documents for both 
LTSE and LTSEH can be found in Exhibit A and Exhibit C to LTSE's Form 1 
application, respectively. A listing of the officers and directors of 
LTSE can be found in Exhibit J to LTSE's Form 1 application.
    LTSE's Form 1 application, including all of the Exhibits referenced 
above, is available online at www.sec.gov/rules/other.shtml as well as 
in the Commission's Public Reference Room. Interested persons are
