Self-Regulatory Organizations; Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change To Update Rule Cross-References and Make Non-
Substantive Technical Changes to Certain FINRA Rules

February 24, 2017.
    Pursuant to 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 February 17, 2017, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(``FINRA'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC''
or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I,
II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by FINRA. FINRA has
designated the proposed rule change as constituting a ``non-
controversial'' rule change under paragraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 under
the Act,\3\ which renders the proposal effective upon receipt of this
filing by the Commission. 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 the
Substance of the Proposed Rule Change

    FINRA is proposing to update cross-references and make other non-
substantive changes within FINRA rules, due in part to the adoption of
a new consolidated FINRA rule.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on FINRA's Web
site at http://www.finra.org, at the principal office of FINRA 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, FINRA 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. FINRA 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
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    FINRA has been developing a consolidated rulebook (``Consolidated
FINRA Rulebook'').\4\ That process involves FINRA submitting to the
Commission for approval a series of proposed rule changes over time to
adopt rules in the Consolidated FINRA Rulebook. The phased adoption and
implementation of those rules necessitates periodic amendments to
update rule cross-references and other non-substantive changes in the
Consolidated FINRA Rulebook.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The current FINRA rulebook consists of (1) FINRA Rules; (2)
NASD Rules; and (3) rules incorporated from NYSE (``Incorporated
NYSE Rules'') (together, the NASD Rules and Incorporated NYSE Rules
are referred to as the ``Transitional Rulebook''). While the NASD
Rules generally apply to all FINRA members, the Incorporated NYSE
Rules apply only to those members of FINRA that are also members of
the NYSE (``Dual Members''). The FINRA Rules apply to all FINRA
members, unless such rules have a more limited application by their
terms. For more information about the rulebook consolidation
process, see Information Notice, March 12, 2008 (Rulebook
Consolidation Process).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change would make some of those changes, as well
as other non-substantive changes unrelated to the adoption of rules in
the Consolidated FINRA Rulebook.
    First, the proposed rule change would update rule cross-references
to reflect the adoption of FINRA Rule 3210 (Accounts At Other Broker-
Dealers and Financial Institutions), a new consolidated rule addressing
accounts opened or established by associated persons of members at
firms other than the firm with which they are associated. The SEC
approved the new rule on April 7, 2016. As part of that rule filing,
FINRA also deleted in their entirety NASD Rule 3050, Incorporated NYSE
Rules 407, 407A, and Incorporated NYSE Rule Interpretation 407.\5\ Rule
3210 will be implemented on April 3, 2017. As such, the proposed rule
change would update references to the new rule number in FINRA Rules
0150 (Application of Rules to Exempted Securities Except Municipal
Securities), 2150 (Improper Use of Customers' Securities or Funds;
Prohibition Against Guarantees and Sharing in Accounts), 3110
(Supervision), 3280 (Private Securities Transactions of an Associated
Person), and 6630 (Applicability of FINRA Rules to Securities
Previously Designated as PORTAL Securities). Also, the proposed rule
change would update the reference to Incorporated NYSE Rule 407 in
FINRA Rule 9217 (Violations Appropriate for Disposition Under Plan
Pursuant to SEA Rule 19d-1(c)(2)), given that, as explained more fully
in SR-FINRA-2015-029, new FINRA Rule 3210 is the consolidated successor
to the NYSE rule.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 77550 (April 7,
2016), 81 FR 21924 (April 13, 2016) (Order Approving File No. SR-
FINRA-2015-029).
    \6\ See supra note 5. In addition, current FINRA Rule 9217
includes reference to Incorporated NYSE Rule 407A. Such reference
would be deleted pursuant to the rule change. As explained more
fully in SR-FINRA-2015-029, FINRA deleted Incorporated NYSE Rule
407A because that rule is superseded by FINRA Rule 3210.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Furthermore, the proposed rule change would make technical changes
to FINRA Rules 5210 (Publication of Transactions and Quotations) \7\
and 6750 (Dissemination of Transaction Information) \8\ to reflect
FINRA Manual style convention changes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 79361 (November 21,
2016), 81 FR 85650 (November 28, 2016) (Notice of Filing and
Immediate Effectiveness of File No. SR-FINRA-2016-043).
    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 78925 (September 23,
2016), 81 FR 67023 (September 29, 2016) (Order Approving File No.
SR-FINRA-2016-023).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA has filed the proposed rule change for immediate
effectiveness. The implementation date for the changes to FINRA Rule
6750 will be March 20, 2017, to coincide with the implementation date
of earlier changes to the rule.\9\ The implementation date for the
proposed changes to FINRA Rules 0150, 2150, 3110, 3280, 5210, 6630 and
9217 will be April 3, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See supra note 8 for additional detail.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,\10\ which requires, among
other things, that FINRA rules must be designed to prevent fraudulent
and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest. FINRA believes the proposed rule change will provide
greater clarity to members and the public regarding FINRA's rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    FINRA 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 proposed rule change brings
clarity and consistency to FINRA rules without adding any burden on
firms.

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 \11\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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:

    Title: NESHAP for Paper and Other Web Coating (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1951.05, OMB Control Number 2060-0511.

    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2012. Under
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
    Abstract: The NESHAP for Paper and Other Web Coating is subject to
the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and
any changes or additions to the Provisions are specified at 40 CFR part
63, subpart JJJJ.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit initial
notification, performance tests, and periodic reports and results.
Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of the
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the
operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the
monitoring system is inoperative. Reports, at a minimum, are required
semiannually.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 22
hours per response. ``Burden'' means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners or operators of paper and
other coating facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 233.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, monthly, and
semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 11,861.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,069,373, which includes $1,136,498
in labor costs, $233,500 in capital/startup costs, and $699,375 in
operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in labor hours and
costs for both the respondents and the Agency from the most recently
approved ICR. The increase in burden cost is due to adjustments in
labor rates. This ICR uses updated labor rates from the U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics to calculate burden costs. The increase in labor hours
is due to an increase in the number of respondents subject to the
standard from the previous ICR. The growth in the respondent universe
also results in an increase of the total O&M costs to the respondents.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-77245; File No. SR-Phlx-2016-23]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Adopt a
Kill Switch

February 26, 2016.
    Pursuant to 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 February 16, 2016, NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC (``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III, 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 the
Substance of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to relocate language in current Rule 1035,
entitled ``Acceptable of Bid or Offer'' [sic] to Phlx Rule 1019 and
adopt an optional Kill Switch protection. The Kill Switch will allow
Phlx members to remove quotes and cancel open orders and prevent new
order submission.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://nasdaqomxphlx.cchwallstreet.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
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
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to adopt a new risk protection, a Kill
Switch, applicable to all Phlx members and member organizations
(hereinafter ``member(s)''). The Kill Switch will allow Phlx members to
remove quotes and cancel open orders and prevent new order submission.
This feature provides firms with a powerful risk management tool for
immediate control of their quote and order activity.
    The Exchange proposes to relocate current Rule 1035, entitled
``Acceptable of Bid or Offer'' [sic] to currently reserved Rule 1019,
title revised Rule 1019 ``Acceptance of Bid or Offer,'' and add a new
section (b) to Rule 1019. The Phlx Options Kill Switch will be an
optional tool that enables Phlx members to initiate a message(s) \3\ to
the Phlx XL system (``System'') to: (i) Promptly remove quotes; and/or
(ii) promptly cancel orders. Phlx members may submit a request to the
System to remove/cancel quotes and/or orders based on certain
identifiers on either a user or group level. Phlx members may elect to
remove quotes and cancel orders by Exchange account, port, and/or badge
or mnemonic (``Identifier'') or by a group (one or more Identifier
combinations),\4\ which are provided by such Phlx member to the
Exchange. Phlx members may not remove quotes/orders by symbol. The
System will send an automated message to the Phlx member when a Kill
Switch request has

been processed by the Exchange's System.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Phlx members will be able to utilize an interface to send a
message to the Exchange to initiate the Kill Switch or they may
contact the Exchange directly.
    \4\ The type of group permissible would be within a broker-
dealer. For example, this could be including but not limited to all
market maker accounts or all order entry ports.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If the Phlx member selects quotes to be cancelled utilizing the
Kill Switch, the Phlx member must send a message to the Exchange to
request the removal of all quotes requested for the specified
Identifier(s).\5\ The Phlx member will be unable to enter any
additional quotes for the affected Identifier(s) until re-entry has
been enabled pursuant to proposed section (b)(iii).\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See note 3.
    \6\ PIXL Orders will not be cancelled. PIXL\SM\ is the
Exchange's price improvement mechanism known as Price Improvement XL
or PIXL. See Rule 1080(n). Of note, sweeps will be cancelled. A
sweep is a one-sided electronic quote submitted over the Specialized
Quote Feed, which is the market making quoting interface.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If the Phlx member selects orders to be cancelled utilizing the
Kill Switch, the Phlx member must send a message to the Exchange to
request the cancellation of all orders requested for the certain
specified Identifier(s).\7\ The Phlx member will be unable to enter
additional orders for the affected Identifier(s) until re-entry has
been enabled pursuant to section (b)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See note 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Proposed section (b)(iii) stipulates that after quotes and/or
orders are removed/cancelled by the Phlx member utilizing the Kill
Switch, the Phlx member will be unable to enter additional quotes and/
or orders for the affected Identifier(s) until the Phlx member has made
a request to the Exchange and Exchange staff has set a re-entry
indicator to enable re-entry.\8\ Once enabled for re-entry, the System
will send a Re-entry Notification Message to the Phlx member. The
applicable Clearing member for that Phlx member also will be notified
of the re-entry into the System after quotes and/or orders are removed/
cancelled as a result of the Kill Switch, provided the Clearing member
has requested to receive such notification.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The Phlx member must directly and verbally contact the
Exchange to request the re-set.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange offers many risk mitigation and management tools today
including, but not limited to, certain rapid fire risk controls,\9\
Rule 15c3-5 risk controls,\10\ Order Price Protections,\11\ and cancel
on disconnect and purge functionality for Specialized Quote Feed (SQF).
The Kill Switch offers members a means to control their exposure,
through an interface which is not dependent on the integrity of the
member's own systems, should the member experience a failure.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Phlx Rule 1095.
    \10\ See Sec.  240.15c3-5.
    \11\ See Phlx Rule 1084.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to implement this rule within ninety (90)
days of the implementation date. The Exchange will issue an Options
Trader Alert in advance to inform market participants of such date.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act \12\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act \13\ in particular, in that it is designed 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, by enhancing the risk protections available to Exchange
members. The proposal promotes policy goals of the Commission which has
encouraged execution venues, exchange and non-exchange alike, to
enhance risk protection tools and other mechanisms to decrease risk and
increase stability.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The individual firm benefits of enhanced risk protections flow
downstream to counter-parties both at the Exchange and at other options
exchanges, thereby increasing systemic protections as well.
Additionally, because the Exchange offers this risk tool to all Phlx
members, the Exchange believes this will allow Phlx members to enter
quotes and orders without fear of inadvertent exposure to excessive
risk, which in turn will benefit investors through increased liquidity
for the execution of their orders, thereby protecting investors and the
public interest.
    This optional risk tool as noted above will be offered to all Phlx
members. The Exchange further represents that its proposal will operate
consistently with the firm quote obligations of a broker-dealer
pursuant to Rule 602 of Regulation NMS and that the functionality is
not mandatory. Specifically, any interest that is executable against a
Phlx member's quotes and orders that are received \14\ by the Exchange
prior to the time the Kill Switch is processed by the System will
automatically execute at the price up to the Phlx member's size. The
Kill Switch message will be accepted by the System in the order of
receipt in the queue and will be processed in that order so that
interest that is already accepted into the System will be processed
prior to the Kill Switch message.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ The time of receipt for an order or quote is the time such
message is processed by the Exchange Order Book.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A Market Makers' obligation to provide continuous two-sided quotes
on a daily basis is not diminished by the removal of such quotes and/or
orders by utilizing the Kill Switch. Market Makers will be required to
provide continuous two-sided quotes on a daily basis. Market Makers
that utilize the Kill Switch will not be relieved of the obligation to
provide continuous two-sided quotes on a daily basis, nor will it
prohibit the Exchange from taking disciplinary action against a Market
Maker for failing to meet the continuous quoting obligation each
trading day.
    With respect to providing information regarding the removal of
quotes and/or cancellation of orders as a result of the Kill Switch to
the Clearing Member, each Member that transacts through a Clearing
Member on the Exchange executes a Letter of Guarantee wherein the
Clearing Member accepts financial responsibility for all Exchange
transactions made by the Phlx member on whose behalf the Clearing
Member submits the Letter of Guarantee. The Exchange believes that
because Clearing Members guarantee all transactions on behalf of a
member, and therefore bear the risk associated with those transactions,
it is appropriate for Clearing members to have knowledge of the
utilization by the member of the Kill Switch, should the Clearing
member request such notification.

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 not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposal does not impose an
undue burden on intra-market competition because all Phlx members may
avail themselves of the Kill Switch. The Kill Switch functionality is
optional. The proposed rule change is meant to protect Phlx members in
the event the Phlx member is suffering from a systems issue or from the
occurrence of unusual or unexpected market activity that would require
them to withdraw from the market in order to protect investors. The
ability to control risk at either the user or group level will permit
the Phlx member to protect itself from inadvertent exposure to
excessive risk at each level. Reducing such risk will enable Phlx
members to enter quotes and orders without fear of inadvertent exposure
to excessive risk, which in turn will benefit investors through
increased liquidity for the execution of their orders. Such increased
liquidity

benefits investors because they receive better prices and because it
lowers volatility in the options market. For these reasons, the
Exchange does not believe this proposal imposes an undue burden on
inter-market competition because other exchanges offer the same
functionality.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were either solicited or 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)(iii) of the Act \15\ and
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(a)(iii).
    \16\ 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: (i)
Necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the
protection of investors; or (iii) 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 should be approved or disapproved.

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
