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

    The Exchange is proposing a rule change to make a series of changes
to paragraph (e) of Exchange Rule 14.3 regarding the requirements for
the listing of securities that are issued by the Exchange or any of its
affiliates.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
Web site at www.batstrading.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 parts 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 is proposing to make a series of changes to paragraph
(e) of Exchange Rule 14.3 regarding the reporting requirements on the
Exchange should the Exchange or BZX Affiliate \5\ list a security on
the Exchange (the ``Affiliate Security''). These changes are: (i)
Expanding the definition of Affiliate Security under Exchange Rule
14.3(e)(1)(B); (ii) specifying that the Exchange shall also prepare a
report describing the Exchange's monitoring of the trading of an
Affiliate Security; and (iii) making a series of organizational
changes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Exchange Rule 14.3(e)(1)(A) defines ``BZX Affiliate'' as
``the Exchange and any entity that directly or indirectly, through
one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under
common control with the Exchange, where ``control'' means that one
entity possesses, directly or indirectly, voting control of the
other entity either through ownership of capital stock or other
equity securities or through majority representation on the board of
directors or other management body of such entity.'' The Exchange
does not propose to amend the definition of BZX Affiliate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Exchange Rule 14.3(e)(1)(B) currently defines Affiliate Security as
``any security issued by a BZX Affiliate, with the exception of
Portfolio Depository Receipts as defined in Rule 14.11(b) and Index
Fund Shares as defined in Rule 14.11(c).'' The Exchange proposes to
expand the definition of Affiliate Security to include any Exchange-
listed option on any security issued by a BZX Affiliate.
    In the event that a BZX Affiliate seeks to list an Affiliate
Security, paragraph (e)(2) of Rule 14.3 requires that prior to the
initial listing of the Affiliate Security on the Exchange, Exchange
personnel shall determine that such security satisfies the Exchange's
rules for listing, and such finding must be approved by the Regulatory
Oversight Committee of the Exchange's Board of Directors. The Exchange
proposes to renumber this paragraph as (e)(2)(A) and rename paragraph
(2) as ``Affiliate Securities Listed on the Exchange.'' The Exchange
does not propose any

additional changes to this section of Rule 14.3.
    Current Rule 14.3(e)(3) states that throughout the continued
listing of the Affiliate Security on the Exchange, the Exchange will
prepare a quarterly report for the Regulatory Oversight Committee of
the Exchange's Board of Directors. Current sub-paragraph (i) of the
Rule 14.3(e)(3) requires that the report describe the Exchange's
monitoring of the Affiliate Security's compliance with the Exchange's
listing standards, including, as described in current sub-paragraph
(i)(a), the Affiliate Security's compliance with the Exchange's minimum
share price requirement, and, as described under current sub-paragraph
(i)(b) the Affiliate Security's compliance with each of the
quantitative continued listing requirements.
    The Exchange proposes to renumber paragraph (3)(A) of Rule 14.3(e)
as paragraph as (2)(B) and reformat this section of the rule as
follows. Paragraph (2)(B) would state that throughout the continued
listing of the Affiliate Security on the Exchange, the Exchange will
prepare a quarterly report for the Regulatory Oversight Committee of
the Exchange's Board of Directors describing the Exchange's monitoring
of the Affiliate Security's compliance with the Exchange's listing
standards. Paragraph (2)(B)(i) would require that the report include a
description of the Affiliate Security's compliance with the Exchange's
minimum share price requirement and paragraph (2)(B)(ii) would require
that the report include a description of the Affiliate Security's
compliance with each of the quantitative continued listing
requirements. The Exchange does not propose any substantive changes to
this section of the rule.
    Current sub-paragraph (ii) of Rule 14.3(e)(3)(A) states that the
report shall also describe the Exchange's monitoring of the trading of
the Affiliate Security, including summaries of all related surveillance
alerts, complaints, regulatory referrals, trades cancelled or adjusted
pursuant to Rule 11.17, investigations, examinations, formal and
informal disciplinary actions, exception reports and trading data used
to ensure the Affiliate Security's compliance with the Exchange's
listing and trading rules. The Exchange proposes to relocate current
sub-paragraph (3)(A)(ii) under new sub-paragraph (3) to Rule 14.3(e).
The Exchange proposes to include additional language specifying that
the Exchange shall prepare a quarterly report on the Affiliate Security
for the Regulatory Oversight Committee of the Exchange's Board of
Directors that describes the activity described in the sub-paragraph.
The Exchange proposes to include additional language that these
requirements will be applicable throughout the trading of the Affiliate
Security on the Exchange. Current sub-paragraph (3)(B) of Rule 14.3(e)
also states that to the extent the Exchange uses Exchange staff to
conduct surveillance of trading activity on the Exchange, the Exchange
is required to engage an independent third party once a year to review
and prepare a report regarding surveillance of the Affiliate Security
and promptly forward to the Regulatory Oversight Committee of the
Exchange's Board of Directors and the Commission a copy of the report
prepared by the independent third party. The Exchange proposes to
eliminate the requirements of current sub-paragraph (3)(B) based on the
fact that this requirement is not applicable on other national
securities exchanges with similar rules regarding the listing or
trading of an affiliate security.\6\ The Exchange does not propose any
additional substantive changes to these sections of the rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See, e.g., NYSE Rule 497; Nasdaq Rule 4370.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Current Rule 14.3(e)(3)(A) also requires that the Exchange to
promptly furnish a copy of the quarterly report required by current
paragraph (e)(3)(A) to the Commission. The Exchange proposes to
renumber this paragraph as (e)(4) and revise it to state that a copy of
the reports required by proposed renumbered sub-paragraphs (2) and (3)
of Rule 14.3(e), discussed above, will be forwarded promptly to the
Commission.
    Current sub-paragraph (C) of Rule 14.3(e)(3) requires the Exchange
to commission an annual review and report by an independent accounting
firm of the compliance of the Affiliate Security with the Exchange's
listing requirements. The Exchange is required to promptly furnish a
copy of this annual report to the Regulatory Oversight Committee of the
Exchange's Board of Directors and the Commission. The Exchange proposes
to renumber this paragraph as (2)(C) of Rule 14.3(e) to conform with
the reformatting of Rule 14.3(e) proposed above. The Exchange also
proposes to delete the requirement that the report also be sent to the
Commission as this requirement is proposed to be included in proposed
paragraph (e)(4) discussed below. The Exchange does not propose any
substantive changes to this section of the rule.
    Lastly, current Rule 14.3(e)(4) states that in the event the
Exchange determines that the BZX Affiliate is not in compliance with
any of the Exchange's listing standards, the Exchange is required to
notify the issuer of such non-compliance promptly and request a plan of
compliance. The Exchange is also required to file a report with the
Commission within five business days of providing such notice to the
issuer of its non-compliance. The required report identifies the date
of the non-compliance, type of non-compliance, and any other material
information conveyed to the issuer in the notice of non-compliance.
Within five business days of receipt of a plan of compliance from the
issuer, the Exchange is again required to notify the Commission of such
receipt, whether the plan of compliance was accepted by the Exchange or
what other action was taken with respect to the plan and the time
period provided to regain compliance with the Exchange's listing
standards, if any. The Exchange proposes to renumber this section of
the rule as (2)(D) of Rule 14.3(e) to conform with the reformatting of
Rule 14.3(e) proposed above. The Exchange does not propose any
substantive changes to this section of the rule.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder that
are applicable to a national securities exchange, and, in particular,
with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\7\ Specifically, the
proposed change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\8\
because 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, and to remove impediments to, and perfect
the mechanism of, a free and open market and a national market system.
Specifically, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change, by
requiring heightened reporting by the Exchange to the Commission with
respect to oversight of the listing and trading on the Exchange of
Affiliate Securities, will continue to help protect against concerns
that the Exchange will not effectively enforce its rules with respect
to the listing and trading of these securities. The Exchange believes
that the proposed amendments to Rule 14.3(e) would continue to
eliminate any perception of a potential conflict of interest if a BZX
Affiliate seeks to list a security on the Exchange. The Exchange notes
that the elimination of current

sub-paragraph (3)(B) does not present any risk to investors or the
public interest, as the Exchange is retaining the requirement to
furnish quarterly reports to both the Regulatory Oversight Committee of
the Exchange's Board and to the Commission. The Exchange also notes
that other national securities exchanges with similar rules do not have
such a provision.\9\ Lastly, the Exchange believes that the
reorganization of, and the additional specificity proposed to be
included in Rule 14.3(e) promotes just and equitable principles of
trade and remove impediments to a free and open market by providing
greater transparency concerning the controls in place to address the
potential conflicts of interest that may arise in the listing or
trading of Affiliate Securities on the Exchange.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(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 is
not designed to address any competitive issues, but rather provide
additional specificity and transparency to Members, Users, and the
investing public regarding the Exchange's controls that are in place to
address the potential conflicts of interest that may arise in the
listing of Affiliate Securities on the Exchange.

(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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\11\
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, if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \12\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \13\ In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) requires the Exchange to
give the Commission written notice of the Exchange's intent to file
the proposed rule change, along with a brief description and 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. The Exchange has satisfied this
requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the Act
\14\ normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date of
filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \15\ 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 proposal
may become operative immediately upon filing. The Exchange states that
waiver of the operative delay will allow the Exchange to implement the
proposed rule change immediately in the event an Affiliate seeks to
list on the Exchange or the Exchange seeks to trade an Affiliate
Security on the Exchange. The Exchange further states that the proposal
will provide greater transparency concerning the controls in place to
address the potential conflicts of interest that may arise in the
listing of Affiliate Securities on the Exchange. Based on the
foregoing, the Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative
delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public
interest.\16\ The Commission hereby grants the Exchange's request and
designates the proposal operative upon filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \15\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \16\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.

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

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

June 30, 2011.
    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 June 27, 2011, 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.

    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    FINRA is proposing to update cross-references within certain FINRA
rules to reflect changes adopted in the consolidated FINRA rulebook.
    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 is in the process of developing a new 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 technical 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 update rule cross-references to
reflect rule changes adopted in the Consolidated FINRA Rulebook. In
this regard, the proposed rule change would update references in FINRA
Rules 0150 (Application of Rules to Exempted Securities Except
Municipal Securities), 9217 (Violations Appropriate for Disposition
Under Plan Pursuant to SEA Rule 19d-1(c)(2)) and 9610 (Application)
that are needed as the result of Commission approval of two FINRA
proposed rule changes.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 58643 (September 25,
2008), 73 FR 57174 (October 1, 2008) (Order Approving File No. SR-
FINRA-2008-029); and Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63999
(March 1, 2011), 76 FR 12380 (March 7, 2011) (Order Approving File
No. SR-FINRA-2010-061).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA has filed the proposed rule change for immediate
effectiveness. The implementation date for the proposed rule changes to
FINRA Rules 0150, 9217 and 9610 will be August 1, 2011.
2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,\6\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 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.

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 \7\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\8\

    \8\ 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
