MIAX Sapphire has executed a copy of the current CAT NMS Plan, amended to include MIAX Sapphire in the List of Parties (including the address of MIAX Sapphire), paid the applicable Participation Fee and provided each current Plan Participant with a copy of the executed and amended CAT NMS Plan.^[11]

At any time within sixty days of the filing of this amendment, the Commission may summarily abrogate the amendment and require that it be refiled pursuant to paragraph (a)(1) of Rule 608,^[13] if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors or the maintenance of fair and orderly markets, to remove impediments to, and perfect the mechanisms of, a national market system or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
