The text of those statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchanges have prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant parts of such statements. A. Self-Regulatory Organizations’ Statement of the Purpose of, and the Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Background The Exchanges operate the On-Line Comparison System (‘‘OCS’’) to assist in trade settlement. OCS conducts comparison processing, which includes matching initial trade submissions, correction processing, omnibus processing, and questioned trade (‘‘QT’’) resolution for trades that take place on the Exchanges. The OCS system is used by the Exchanges’ members in their roles as clearing firms, brokers, and Designated Market Making Units (‘‘DMM Units’’) for trade executions. OCS is linked internally to NYSE’s trading systems and externally to the National Securities Clearing Corporation.5 To facilitate the comparison process, the Exchanges utilize omnibus account designations to record trade data.6 Using omnibus account designations allows for universal contras for one trade side, thereby reducing the number of different data elements that have to be independently recorded into a broker’s hand-held device or written on a Floor report for a trade. In May 2009, each of the Exchanges amended its Rule 134 to enable them to assign on the second business day after the trade date (‘‘T+2’’) any open balance in any of the omnibus accounts they use to compare trades to either a DMM Unit or to the member organization that had been identified as the clearing firm for one side of an unresolved trade.7 Specifically, each of the Exchanges added new subsection (e)(iii) to its Rule 134 to enable the Exchanges to assign a Floor broker’s clearing firm or DMM Unit at the close of business on T+2 as the contra side to an imbalance in any omnibus account that is used by OCS. 5 National Securities Clearing Corporation (‘‘NSCC’’) is a clearing agency registered with the Commission under Section 17A of the Act. NSCC provides centralized clearance and settlement services for equity security trades in the U.S. 6 An ‘‘omnibus account’’ is an account in which the transactions of multiple individual participants are combined. 7 Securities Exchange Release Act No. 59997 (May 28, 2009), 74 FR 28086 (June 12, 2009). PO 00000 Frm 00131 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2. Proposed Amendment of NYSE Rule 134 and NYSE Amex Rule 134 Each of the Exchanges will now amend its Rule 134(e)(iii). Rule 134(e)(iii) will now specify that DMM units are assigned as the contra party to any unresolved omnibus account imbalances remaining in OCS. New subsection (iv) to Rule 134(e) will provide that a Floor broker’s clearing firm will be assigned as the contra party to any uncompared e-Quote transactions remaining in OCS. Each of the Exchanges will also add to both subsections that the contra party shall be assigned pursuant to the processes set forth in subsection (e)(i) and (e)(ii) of their Rule 134 but no earlier than 7 p.m. By creating a new subsection (iv) pertaining only to Floor brokers’ clearing firms and removing all such references to Floor brokers’ clearing firms from subsection (e)(iii), the Exchanges are making clear that the DMM unit is assigned as the contra party to an omnibus account imbalance and that clearing firms are the assigned contra party to an uncompared trade. Specifically, a Floor broker’s clearing firm is assigned as the default contra side in a trade resulting from an execution involving e-Quotes (i.e., trades involving Floor broker agency interest files).8 The DMM Unit is assigned in instances where there is an open imbalance in an omnibus account whether the DMM was involved in the transaction or not. For new subsection 134(e)(iv), the Exchanges will shorten the time frame for assignment of uncompared e-Quote transactions from T+2 to the first business day after the trade date (‘‘T+1’’). The Exchanges believe that the shortened time frame for resolving uncompared e-Quote transactions will provide Floor brokers and clearing firms with more information and certainty on settlement date, which is the third business day after trade date (T+3). In particular, the Exchanges believe that the changes for resolving uncompared eQuote transactions are necessary for situations where there are system outages. Under normal trading conditions, the number of e-Quote QTs that remain unresolved by the end of T+1 is relatively low. In the event of a Broker System outage, however, the number of e-Quote QTs could increase dramatically. Therefore, to mitigate risk and exposure to the Floor broker community and to facilitate comparison and settlement, the Exchanges believe that reducing the time period from close 8 NYSE E:\FR\FM\16JYN1.SGM Rule 70(a)(i). 16JYN1
