Download as PDF 57542 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 182 / Tuesday, September 21, 2010 / Notices believes that the Order Imbalance Information that all participants receive beginning at 3:45 p.m. is more accurate, timely, and complete, and is more material to investors. Finally, NYSE disagrees that the proposal is similar to flash orders. NYSE notes that the Order Imbalance Information is not actionable prior to 15 minutes before the close of trading and is subject to change or cancellation and, therefore, MOC/LOC orders cannot be executed before the public receives the information.11 srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES IV. Discussion and Commission Findings After careful consideration, the Commission finds that the proposed rule changes are consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange.12 In particular, the proposed rule changes are consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,13 which requires, among other things, that the rules of a national securities exchange be 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, and not be designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers. The Commission also finds that the proposed rule changes are consistent with the provisions of Section 6(b)(8) of the Act,14 which require that the rules of an exchange not impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposals would allow Exchange systems to disseminate the Order Imbalance Information directly to Floor brokers’ handheld devices 15 beginning two hours prior to the scheduled close. The Exchanges’ rules currently only permit Floor brokers to obtain this and other market information on a one-off basis from DMMs as ‘‘market probes’’ under Rule 115. The proposal would automate the process and allow Floor brokers to receive Order Imbalance actual number of orders and the number of shares represented by those orders. With respect to the total number of shares executed on NYSE on any given trading day, MOC and LOC orders generally account for less than 10%.’’ See NYSE’s Response Letter at 2. 11 See NYSE Response Letter at 3–4. 12 In approving these proposed rule changes, the Commission has considered the proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 13 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). 14 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(8). 15 See Notices, supra note 3. VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:02 Sep 20, 2010 Jkt 220001 Information more frequently and quickly. Thus, the proposal would permit information Floor brokers to obtain certain market information (i.e., Order Imbalance Information) that they are already permitted to obtain under the Exchanges’ current rules as part of ‘‘market probes’’ under Rule 115, albeit in a more technologically advanced and more efficient format. The Commission notes that the Exchanges have represented that the dissemination of this information would be limited to the Floor broker’s handheld devices, and that the electronic datafeed cannot be automatically forwarded or retransmitted.16 The Commission finds that the proposal is consistent with the requirements of the Act. Finally, the Commission notes that this order does not approve any prior dissemination of Order Imbalance Information by the Exchanges that may have been inconsistent with the approved rules of the Exchanges then in effect. V. Conclusion It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,17 that the proposed rule changes (SR–NYSE– 2010–20 and SR–NYSEAmex–2010–25) be, and they hereby are, approved. For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.18 Florence E. Harmon, Deputy Secretary.
