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 statement 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
    Rule 11.340(b) (Compliance with Data Collection Requirements) \6\ 
implements the data collection and Web site publication requirements of 
the Plan.\7\ Supplementary Material .09 to IEX Rule 11.340 currently 
provides, among other things, that the requirement that the Exchange or 
Designated Examining Authority (``DEA'') make certain data for the Pre-
Pilot Period and Pilot Period \8\ publicly available on the Exchange's 
or DEA's Web site pursuant to Appendix B to the Plan shall commence on 
April 28, 2017.\9\ IEX is proposing to further delay the Web site 
publication of Appendix B data until August 31, 2017 to permit 
additional time to consider a methodology to mitigate concerns raised 
in connection with the publication of Appendix B data.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Exchange Rule 11.340(b). See also Securities Exchange 
Act Release Nos. 77418 (March 22, 2016), 81 FR 17213 (March 28, 
2016); and 78795 (September 9, 2016), 81 FR 63508 (September 15, 
2016).
    \7\ The Participants filed the Plan to comply with an order 
issued by the Commission on June 24, 2014. See Letter from Brendon 
J. Weiss, Vice President, Intercontinental Exchange, Inc., to 
Secretary, Commission, dated August 25, 2014 (``SRO Tick Size Plan 
Proposal''). See Securities Exchange Act Release No 72460 (June 24, 
2014), 79 FR 36840 (June 30, 2014); see also Securities Exchange Act 
Release No. 74892 (May 6, 2015), 80 FR 27513 (May 13, 2015).
    \8\ Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms have the 
meaning ascribed to them in Rule 11.340.
    \9\ See IEX Rule 11.340.09. See also Securities Exchange Act 
Release No. 80218 (March 10, 2017), 82 FR 14054 (March 16, 2017). 
See also Letter from David S. Shillman, Associate Director, Division 
of Trading and Markets, Commission, to Robert L.D. Colby, Executive 
Vice President and Chief Legal Officer, FINRA, dated February 28, 
2017.
    \10\ On March 3, 2017, FINRA filed a proposed rule change to 
implement an anonymous, grouped masking methodology for Appendix 
B.I, B.II. and B.IV. data. The comment period ended on April 5, 
2017, and the Commission received three comment letters. See 
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80193 (March 9, 2017) 82 FR 
13901 (March 15, 2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to this proposed amendment, FINRA [sic] \11\ or the DEA 
would publish the required Appendix B data for the Pre-Pilot Period 
through April 30, 2017, by August 31, 2017. Thereafter, Appendix B data 
for a given month would be published within 120 calendar days following 
month end.\12\ Thus, for example, Appendix B data for May 2017 would be 
made available on the FINRA [sic] \13\ or DEA Web site by September 28, 
2017, and data for the month of June 2017 would be made available on 
the FINRA [sic] \14\ or DEA Web site by October 28, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ The Commission notes IEX Rule 11.340.09 states that the 
``Exchange or DEA'' will conduct this function.
    \12\ FINRA also is submitting an exemptive request to the SEC on 
behalf of the Participants in connection with the instant filing.
    \13\ See supra note 11.
    \14\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As noted in Item 2 of this filing, IEX has filed the proposed rule 
change for immediate effectiveness. The operative date of the proposed 
rule change will be the date of filing.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 
6(b) of the Act \15\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 
6(b)(5) of the Act \16\ in particular, in that it is designed 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 mechanism of a 
free and open market and a national market system and, in general, to 
protect investors and the public interest, and Section 6(b)(8) of the 
Act,\17\ which requires that IEX rules not impose any burden on 
competition that is not necessary or appropriate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \17\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Plan is designed to allow the Commission, market participants, 
and the public to study and assess the impact of increment conventions 
on the liquidity and trading of the common stock of small-
capitalization companies. The Exchange believes that this proposal is 
consistent with the Act because it is in furtherance of the objectives 
of Section VII(A) of the Plan in that it is designed to provide 
additional time to consider a methodology to mitigate concerns raised 
in connection with the publication of Appendix B data.

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

    The Exchange 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 
notes that the proposed rule change implements the provisions of the 
Plan.

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 \18\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \19\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19(b)-4(f)(6) normally does 
not

[[Page 22583]]

become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the filing. 
However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii), the Commission may 
designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the 
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has filed 
the proposed rule change for immediate effectiveness and has requested 
that the Commission waive the requirement that the proposed rule change 
not become operative for 30 days after the date of the filing so that 
it may become operative on the date of filing.
    The Exchange notes that the proposed rule change is intended to 
mitigate confidentiality concerns raised in connection with Section 
VII(A) of the Plan, which provides that the data made publicly 
available will not identify the Trading Center that generated the data. 
The Exchange states that the additional time would allow consideration 
of a methodology to mitigate concerns related to the publication of 
Appendix B data.\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ The Commission recently approved a FINRA proposal to 
implement an aggregated, anonymous grouped masking methodology for 
the publication of Appendix B data related to OTC trading activity. 
See Securities Exchange Release No. 80551, (April 28, 2017), 82 FR 
20948 (May 4, 2017). See also Letter from David S. Shillman, 
Associate Director, Division of Trading and Markets, Commission, to 
Marcia E. Asquith, Executive Vice President FINRA, dated April 28, 
2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is 
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest 
because it will synchronize the timing for publication of Appendix B 
data for all Participants, which should enhance the consistency and 
usefulness of the data.\21\ Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the 
30-day operative delay and designates the proposed rule change to be 
operative on the date of filing.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ The Commission recently granted exemptive relief to the 
Participants to delay the publication of their Appendix B data until 
August 31, 2017. See Letter from David S. Shillman, Associate 
Director, Division of Trading and Markets, Commission, to Jennifer 
Piorko Mitchell, Vice President and Deputy Corporate Secretary, 
FINRA, dated April 28, 2017. The Commission notes that other 
Participants have submitted proposed rule changes to delay the 
publication of Appendix B data until August 31, 2017. See e.g., SR-
BatsBYX-2017-10; SR-BatsBZX-2017-31; SR-BatsEDGA-2017-10; SR-
BatsEDGX-2017-19; SR-BX-2017-022; SR-CHX-2017-07; SR-FINRA-2017-010; 
SR-NASDAQ-2017-044; SR-Phlx-2017-33; SR-NYSE-2017-19; SR-NYSEArca-
2017-49; SR-NYSEMKT-2017-24.
    \22\ For purposes only of waiving the operative delay for this 
proposal, the Commission has 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.

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