three occasions in order to prepare a
rule filing seeking permission to make
the above described changes
permanent.13 The Exchange is currently
still preparing such formal submission
but does not expect that filing to be
completed and approved by the
Commission before September 30, 2010.
Proposal To Extend the Operation of the
NMM Pilot
The NYSE established the NMM Pilot
to provide incentives for quoting, to
enhance competition among the existing
group of liquidity providers and to have
its market maker be a new competitive
market participant. The Exchange
believes that the NMM Pilot allows the
Exchange to provide its market
participants with a trading venue that
utilizes an enhanced market structure to
encourage the addition of liquidity,
facilitate the trading of larger orders
more efficiently and operates to reward
aggressive liquidity providers. As such,
the Exchange believes that the rules
governing the NMM Pilot should be
made permanent. Through this filing the
Exchange seeks to extend the current
operation of the NMM Pilot until
January 31, 2011, in order to allow the
Exchange time to formally submit a
filing to the Commission to convert the
pilot rules to permanent rules.

2. Statutory Basis
The basis under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the ‘‘Act’’) for this
proposed rule change is the requirement
under Section 6(b)(5) that an exchange
have rules that are designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, to
remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market
and a national market system and, in
general, to protect investors and the
public interest. The Exchange believes
that the instant filing is consistent with
these principles because the NMM Pilot
provides its market participants with a
trading venue that utilizes an enhanced
market structure to encourage the
addition of liquidity, facilitate the
trading of larger orders more efficiently
and operates to reward aggressive
liquidity providers. Moreover, the
instant filing requesting an extension of
the Pilot will permit adequate time for:
(i) The Exchange to prepare and submit
a filing to make the rules governing the
NMM Pilot permanent; (ii) public notice
and comment; and (iii) completion of
the 19b–4 approval process.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
No written comments were solicited
or received with respect to the proposed
rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Because the foregoing proposed rule
change does not:
(i) Significantly affect the protection
of investors or the public interest;
(ii) Impose any significant burden on
competition; and
(iii) Become operative for 30 days
from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission
may designate, if consistent with the
protection of investors and the public
interest, it has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the
Act 14 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6)
thereunder.15
At any time within 60 days of the
filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission summarily may
temporarily suspend such rule change if
it appears to the Commission that such
action is necessary or appropriate in the
public interest, for the protection of
investors, or otherwise in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act.
IV. Solicitation of Comments
Interested persons are invited to
submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing,
including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act.
Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:
