If, however, trading has not resumed on the primary listing market and ten minutes have passed since the individual stock trading pause message has been received from the responsible single plan processor, the Exchange may resume trading in such stock. The proposed rule would apply to trading pauses issued by primary listing markets in ‘‘Circuit Breaker Securities’’, as defined in proposed Interpretation and Policy .05. Specifically, on a pilot basis, set to end on December 10, 2010, Circuit Breaker Securities would mean the securities included in the S&P 500® Index. In addition to adding a new paragraph to Rule 11.14 as paragraph (d), and renaming existing paragraph (d) as paragraph (e), the Exchange has also proposed minor changes to Rule 11.14.

Finally, the Exchange has proposed certain minor changes to the references in its rules, specifically: (1) Deleting references to the number of the Rule to avoid inaccurate crossreferences in the event there are other changes to the Exchange’s Rules; and (2) renaming sections .01 to .04 and proposed section .05 of the Rule as ‘‘Interpretations and Policies’’ rather than ‘‘Commentary’’ to be consistent with the rest of the Exchange’s rules. 2. Statutory Basis Approval of the rule change proposed in this submission is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder that are applicable to a national securities exchange, and, in particular, with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.3 In particular, the proposed change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,4 because it would promote just and equitable principles of trade, remove impediments to, and perfect the mechanism of, a free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, protect investors and the public interest.

Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose The primary listing markets for U.S. stocks are in the process of amending their rules so that they may, from time to time, issue a trading pause for an individual security if the price of such security moves 10% or more from a sale in a preceding five-minute period. The Exchange is proposing the rule change described below in consultation with other markets and Commission staff to provide for uniform market-wide trading pause standards for individual securities in the S&P 500® Index that experience rapid price movement, as set forth below. The Exchange is not currently the primary listing market for any securities, and thus, will not be issuing any trading pauses pursuant to its rules. The Exchange proposes to add a new paragraph to BATS Rule 11.18 to allow the Exchange to pause trading in an individual stock when the primary listing market for such stock issues a trading pause in any Circuit Breaker Securities, as defined below and in proposed Interpretation and Policy .05 of Rule 11.18. If, however, trading has not resumed on the primary listing market and ten minutes have passed since the individual stock trading pause message has been received from the responsible single plan processor, the Exchange may resume trading in such stock. The proposed rule would apply to trading pauses issued by primary listing markets in ‘‘Circuit Breaker Securities’’, as defined in proposed Interpretation and Policy .05. Specifically, on a pilot basis, set to end on December 10, 2010, Circuit Breaker Securities would mean the securities included in the S&P 500® Index.

Statutory Basis Approval of the rule change proposed in this submission is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder that are applicable to a national securities exchange, and, in particular, with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.3 In particular, the proposed change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,4 because it would promote just and equitable principles of trade, remove impediments to, and perfect the mechanism of, a free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, protect investors and the public interest.

The Exchange is proposing that this rule be implemented as a pilot, beginning on June 7, 2010 and concluding on December 10, 2010. This pilot program will provide the exchanges with an opportunity to assess the effect of this rule proposal on the markets. 2.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange is proposing to amend BATS Rule 11.18, entitled 
``Trading Halts Due to Extraordinary Market Volatility.''
    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's 
Web site at https://www.batstrading.com, at the principal office of the 
Exchange, 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 parts of such 
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The primary listing markets for U.S. stocks are in the process of 
amending their rules so that they may, from time to time, issue a 
trading pause for an individual security if the price of such security 
moves 10% or more from a sale in a preceding five-minute period. The 
Exchange is proposing the rule change described below in consultation 
with other markets and Commission staff to provide for uniform market-
wide trading pause standards for individual securities in the S&P 
500[supreg] Index that experience rapid price movement, as set forth 
below. The Exchange is not currently the primary listing market for any 
securities, and thus, will not be issuing any trading pauses pursuant 
to its rules.
    The Exchange proposes to add a new paragraph to BATS Rule 11.18 to 
allow the Exchange to pause trading in an individual stock when the 
primary listing market for such stock issues a trading pause in any 
Circuit Breaker Securities, as defined below and in proposed 
Interpretation and Policy .05 of Rule 11.18. If, however, trading has 
not resumed on the primary listing market and ten minutes have passed 
since the individual stock trading pause message has been received from 
the responsible single plan processor, the Exchange may resume trading 
in such stock.
    The proposed rule would apply to trading pauses issued by primary 
listing markets in ``Circuit Breaker Securities'', as defined in 
proposed Interpretation and Policy .05. Specifically, on a pilot basis, 
set to end on December 10, 2010, Circuit Breaker Securities would mean 
the securities included in the S&P 500[supreg] Index.
    In addition to adding a new paragraph to Rule 11.18 as paragraph 
(d), and renaming existing paragraph (d) as paragraph (e), the Exchange 
has also proposed minor changes to Rule 11.18. To make clear that the 
existing trading halt described in Rule 11.18 applies to all stocks 
traded on the Exchange, the Exchange has added the word ``all'' to the 
text of paragraphs (a) and (b) of Rule 11.18. Finally, the Exchange has 
proposed certain minor changes to the references in its rules, 
specifically: (1) Deleting references to the number of the Rule to 
avoid inaccurate cross-references in the event there are other changes 
to the Exchange's Rules; and (2) renaming sections .01 to .04 and 
proposed section .05 of the Rule as ``Interpretations and Policies'' 
rather than ``Commentary'' to be consistent with the rest of the 
Exchange's rules.
2. Statutory Basis
    Approval of the rule change proposed in this submission is 
consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and 
regulations thereunder that are applicable to a national securities 
exchange, and, in particular, with the requirements of Section 6(b) of 
the Act.\3\ In particular, the proposed change is consistent with 
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\4\ because it would promote just and 
equitable principles of trade, remove impediments to, and perfect the 
mechanism of, a free and open market and a national market system, and, 
in general, protect investors and the public interest. The proposed 
rule change is also designed to support the principles of Section 
11A(a)(1) \5\ of the Act in that it seeks to assure fair competition 
among brokers and dealers and among exchange markets. The Exchange 
believes that the proposed rule meets these requirements in that it 
promotes transparency and uniformity across markets concerning 
decisions to pause trading in a security when there are significant 
price movements.

any burden on competition.
