Self-Regulatory Organizations; Miami International Securities 
Exchange, LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed 
Rule Change To Amend Exchange Rule 503 To Adopt Interpretations and 
Policies .02 and .03

November 13, 2018.
    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 November 9, 2018, Miami International 
Securities Exchange, LLC (``MIAX Options'' or the ``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 relocate Rule 1809(f) 
(``SPIKES Index Options Settlement'') and Rule 1809, Interpretations 
and Policies .06 (``SPIKES Special Settlement Auction'') into Rule 503, 
Openings on the Exchange, new Interpretations and Policies .02 and .03.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's 
website at http://www.miaxoptions.com/rule-filings/ at MIAX Options' 
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 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to adopt new Interpretations and Policies 
.02, to Rule 503 (``Openings on the Exchange''), in order to relocate 
existing Exchange Rule 1809(f), SPIKES Index Options Settlement, to 
Rule 503. The Exchange also proposes to adopt new Interpretations and 
Policies .03, to Rule 503, in order to similarly relocate existing 
Exchange Rule 1809, Interpretations and Policies .06, SPIKES Special 
Settlement Auction. This proposal seeks to better organize the rules of 
the Exchange in order to make the rules easier to read and to ensure 
that these rules apply only to MIAX Options. The Exchange notes that 
the changes proposed herein are non-substantive rule changes, and do 
not modify the application the rules which the Exchange proposes to 
relocate.
    The Exchange notes, by way of background, that on June 28, 2018, 
the Exchange filed with the Commission a proposal to list and trade on 
the Exchange, options on the SPIKES\TM\ Index, a new index that 
measures expected 30-day volatility of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust 
(commonly known and referred to by its ticker symbol, ``SPY'').\3\ To 
facilitate trading options on the Index the Exchange made certain 
amendments to Rule 1809.\4\ By virtue of the exemption from the rule 
filing requirements of Section 19(b) of the Act, the rule amendments 
were automatically incorporated by reference into the rules of the 
Exchange's affiliate MIAX PEARL, LLC (``MIAX PEARL''). However, the 
procedures described in Rule 1809(f) and Rule 1809, Interpretations and 
Policies .06 do not apply to MIAX PEARL, as these rules relate to 
SPIKES Index Options Settlement procedures and the SPIKES Special 
Settlement Auction, which will not occur on MIAX PEARL. Therefore, the 
Exchange believes that by now relocating these rules, it will avoid 
confusion and provide greater clarity and readability to the rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 84417 (October 12, 
2018), 83 FR 52865 (October 18, 2018) (SR-MIAX-2018-14) (Order 
Granting Approval of a Proposed Rule Change by Miami International 
Securities Exchange, LLC to List and Trade on the Exchange Options 
on the SPIKES\TM\ Index).
    \4\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposed rule change is consistent 
with Section 6(b) of the Act \5\ in general, and furthers the 
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \6\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes the proposed change promotes just and 
equitable principles of trade and removes impediments to and perfects 
the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system 
because the proposed rule change improves the way the Exchange's 
rulebook is organized, making it easier to read, and avoids confusion 
by moving rules which are not applicable to the Exchange's affiliate, 
MIAX PEARL, into a different chapter of rules which is not incorporated 
by reference into to the rules of MIAX PEARL, therefore, helping market 
participants to better understand the rules of the Exchange and of its 
affiliate. The Exchange notes that the proposed change does not alter 
the application of each rule. As such, the proposed amendment would 
foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in 
facilitating transactions in securities and would remove impediments to 
and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national 
exchange system. In particular, the Exchange believes that the proposed 
change will provide greater clarity to Members \7\ and the

[[Page 58307]]

public regarding the Exchange's Rules. It is in the public interest for 
rules to be accurate and concise so as to eliminate the potential for 
confusion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The term ``Member'' means an individual or organization 
approved to exercise the trading rights associated with a Trading 
Permit. Members are deemed ``members'' under the Exchange Act. See 
Exchange Rule 100.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    MIAX Options 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 is designed to add additional clarity to 
existing rules and to make a non-substantive change by relocating the 
rules to a different chapter in the Exchange's rulebook.
    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change 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 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 \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the 
Act \10\ normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date 
of its filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \11\ 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 Exchange may relocate these rules immediately so as to improve the 
organization of its rulebook and to avoid confusion for market 
participants reading the rules of the Exchange's affiliate, MIAX PEARL. 
The Commission believes the waiver of the operative delay is consistent 
with the protection of investors and the public interest. Accordingly, 
the Commission hereby waives the operative delay and designates the 
proposed rule change operative upon filing.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \12\ 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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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