Abstract: In Regulation Automated Trading, Commission seeks to update Commission rules in response to the evolution from pit trading to electronic trading. The risk controls and other rules proposed in the NPRM are focused on algorithmic order origination or routing by market participants, and electronic order execution by DCMs. In addition to mitigating risks arising from algorithmic trading activity, the proposed rules are intended to increase transparency around DCM electronic trade matching platforms and the use of self-trade prevention tools on DCMs. Furthermore, the proposed rules are intended to foster transparency with respect to DCM programs and activities, including market maker and trading incentive programs, that have become more prominent as automated trading becomes the dominant market model. This new collection of information relates to proposed § 1.80(d), 1.83(a) and (b); § 1.84(a), (b), and (c); § 1.85 (a), (b), (c), and (d), 38.255(c) and 40.23(c) and (d). The collection of information is necessary to prevent and mitigate risks arising from algorithmic trading activity, increase transparency around DCMs electronic trade matching platforms and the use of self-trade prevention tools on DCMs, and foster transparency with respect to DCM programs and activities, including market maker and trading incentive programs, that have become more prominent as automated trading becomes the dominant market model. The obligations created by the proposed rules are essential to avoid or prevent disruptions to market integrity, avoid systemic risk and promote responsible innovation and fair competition among boards of trade, other markets and market participants. . Please see other OMB submissions and supporting statements amending existing information collection 3038-0023 with respect to proposed § 1.3(x)(1)(iii), information collection 3038-0052 with respect to proposed §§ 38.401(a) and 38.401(c) and 40.26; and information collection 3038-0093 with respect to proposed § 40.25.
