SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-80868; File No. SR-PEARL-2017-28]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; MIAX PEARL, LLC; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To Amend MIAX
PEARL Rule 406, Long Term Option Contracts

June 6, 2017.
    Pursuant to the provisions of Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice
is hereby given that on June 5, 2017, MIAX PEARL, LLC (``MIAX PEARL''
or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') a proposed rule change as described in Items I and II
below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission
is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule
change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange is filing a proposal to amend Exchange Rule 406, Long
Term Option Contracts.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://www.miaxoptions.com/rule-filings/pearl at MIAX
PEARL's principal office, and at the Commission's Public Reference
Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange 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 Exchange 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 is proposing to amend Exchange Rule 406, Long Term
Option Contracts, to make three simple

clarifying changes to the Rule, as described below.
    Currently, Exchange Rule 406(a) states that the Exchange may list
long-term option contracts that expire from twelve (12) to thirty-nine
(39) months from the time they are listed. The Exchange proposes to
amend Rule 406(a) by defining option contracts that expire from twelve
(12) to thirty-nine (39) months from the time they are listed as
``long-term expiration months.''
    Rule 406(a) currently states that there may be ``up to six
additional expiration months.'' As currently written, the Rule does not
specify which expiration months the six months are in addition to, or
whether that means that there may be a total of six expiration months
(with six long-term expiration months deemed ``additional'' expiration
months) or seven expiration months (one long term expiration month plus
six additional long-term expiration months), and thus is ambiguous.
Accordingly, for clarity, the Exchange proposes to delete the word
``additional'' from Rule 406(a). As amended, the rule would clearly and
simply provide that the Exchange may list six expiration months having
from twelve up to thirty-nine months from the time they are listed
until expiration.
    Finally, in order to further clarify the Rule, the Exchange is
proposing to amend Rule 406(a) to state that there may be up to six (6)
long-term expiration months per option class. Thus, there is no limit
to the number of option classes for which the Exchange could list
options with long-term expiration months; the rule will now clearly
state that there may be up to six long-term expiration months per
class, i.e., for any class(es) in which the Exchange determines to list
options with long-term expiration months.
2. Statutory Basis
    MIAX PEARL believes that its proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act \3\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \4\ 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 facilitating
transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanisms of a free and open market and a national market system and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest, by clarifying
rule language associated with permitted listings of long term options
on the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 proposed rule change
will have no impact on competition as it is not designed to address any
competitive issues but rather to add additional clarity to, and remedy
possible conflicts in, the Exchange's Rules.
    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule changes will
impose any burden on intermarket competition as the Rules apply equally
to all Exchange Members.

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 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 \5\ and
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \6\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give 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.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
