WASHINGTON, April 17 -- The Securities and Exchange Commission issued the following remarks on April 16, 2026, by Commissioner Mark T. Uyeda at the roundtable on options:
* * *
Good morning. Thank you to the Division of Trading and Markets (the "Division") and other staff of the Commission for organizing this roundtable on options market structure.[1] Many thanks to our participants, who have taken the time to join us today. We look forward to hearing your thoughts.
For as long as I can remember, equity market structure - and to a lesser extent, fixed income market structure, has taken centerstage in the Commission's public and regulatory dialogue. In fact, over the years, we have convened advisory committees in both of those areas. Issues like fragmentation, concentration, data asymmetries, and uneven execution quality have been studied extensively on the equity side. But data recently released by the Commission makes clear that many of the concerns long debated in equities exist to an even greater degree in options.[2]
During the last ten years, the options landscape has transformed dramatically. Growth in retail participation, particularly in short dated and ultra short dated strategies, has reshaped order flow dynamics, execution pathways, and the economics of liquidity provision. These developments should cause us to reconsider the assumptions behind our existing regulations. For example, how does the increasing fragmentation--15 exchanges with >1% market share--affect the execution quality of retail marketable orders?
We should also consider issues in the institutional space--such as the practical effects of market maker entitlements, data asymmetries, and competitive barriers. Do today's institutional market makers still require the types of incentives and entitlements that exist in current floor auction rules? Or has the market evolved to a point where those mechanisms should be revisited?
The Commission should optimize regulations for all types of market participants, including individuals who are often the beneficiaries of institutional investors. I look forward to public feedback on how our rules can be modernized to strengthen execution quality, enhance competition, and ensure the options market can effectively serve investors, institutions, and issuers alike. The data is clear--and the moment is right--for thoughtful, measured reform. I thank Chairman Atkins for convening this options market structure roundtable.

Agencies Issue Revised Model Risk Guidance
*
WASHINGTON - The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), along with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, today issued revised model risk management guidance.
The revised guidance clarifies that model risk management should be tailored commensurately to the size, complexity, and model risk profile of a banking organization. To support banking organizations' model riskmanagement practices, the revised guidance highlights sound principles for effective model risk management-in particular, by discussing the factors that influence model risk and the features of effective model development and model use; model validation and monitoring; and governance and controls. The revised guidance also discusses considerations specific to vendor and other third-party products, including validation of these products. The guidance does not set forth enforceable standards or prescriptive requirements, and non-compliance will not result in supervisory criticism.
In connection with the release of this guidance, the FDIC is rescinding FIL-22-2017, Adoption of Supervisory Guidance on Model Risk Management, and FIL-27-2021, Bank Secrecy Act: Agencies Address Model Risk Management for Bank Models and Systems Supporting Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering and Office of Foreign Assets Control Compliance.
