Commission is publishing this notice to

The Exchange proposes to amend its
option trading rules in order to extend

Statement of the Purpose of, and the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
1. Purpose
The Exchange hereby proposes to
extend the time period of the Pilot
Program 4 which is currently scheduled
to expire on December 31, 2010, through
December 31, 2011, and to provide
revised dates for adding replacement
issues to the Pilot. The Exchange
proposes that the semi-annual dates to
replace issues that have been delisted be
revised to the second trading day
following January 1, 2011 and July 1,
2011. The Exchange also wishes to
clarify that the replacement issues will
be selected based on trading activity for
the six month period beginning June 1,
2010, and ending November 30, 2010 for
the January 2011 replacement, and the
six month period beginning December 1,
2010 and ending May 31, 2011 for the
July 2011 replacements. This filing does
not propose any substantive changes to
the Pilot Program: all classes currently
participating will remain the same and
all minimum increments will remain
unchanged. The Exchange believes the
benefits to public customers and other
market participants who will be able to
express their true prices to buy and sell
options have been demonstrated to
outweigh the increase in quote traffic.
The Exchange agrees to [sic] reports
that will analyze the impact of the Pilot
Program on market quality and options
systems capacity. These reports will
include, but are not limited to: (1) Data
and written analysis on the number of
quotations generated for options
selected for the Pilot Program; (2) an
assessment of the quotation spreads for
the options selected for the Pilot
Program; (3) an assessment of the
impact of the Pilot Program on the
capacity of the NYSE Arca’s automated
systems; (4) any capacity problems or
other problems that arose related to the
operation of the Pilot Program and how
the Exchange addressed them; and (5)
an assessment of trade through
complaints that were sent by the
Exchange during the operation of the
Pilot Program and how they were
addressed.
2. Statutory Basis
The proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b) 5 of the Act,
in general, and furthers the objectives of

is designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in
facilitating transactions in securities,
and to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanisms of a free and
open market and a national market
system. The Exchange believes that the
Pilot Program promotes just and
equitable principles of trade by enabling
public customers and other market
participants to express their true prices
to buy and sell options.

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The Exchange has filed the proposed
rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 7 and Rule
19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.8 Because the
proposed rule change does not: (i)

and C below, of the most significant
aspects of such statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
On August 4, 2010, FINRA filed SR–
FINRA–2010–042, a proposed rule
change to adopt FINRA Rule 4160
(Verification of Assets). The proposed
rule provided that a member, when
notified by FINRA, may not continue to
custody or retain record ownership of
assets, whether such assets are
proprietary or customer assets, at a nonmember financial institution, which,
upon FINRA staff’s request, fails
promptly to provide FINRA with
written verification of assets maintained
by the member at such financial
institution. In SR–FINRA–2010–042,
FINRA stated that it would announce
the effective date of the proposed rule
change in a Regulatory Notice to be
published ‘‘no later than 60 days
following Commission approval’’ and to
establish the effective date ‘‘no later than
30 days following publication’’ of the
Regulatory Notice announcing
Commission approval.
The proposed rule change was
published for notice and comment.5 On
October 1, 2010, FINRA filed
Amendment No. 1 to SR–FINRA–2010–
042 to respond to comments and to
propose amendments in response to
such comments (hereinafter, SR–
FINRA–2010–042 and Amendment No.
1 thereto are, together, the ‘‘Verification
of Assets filing’’).6 The Commission
approved the Verification of Assets
filing on October 5, 2010.7
As stated in the Verification of Assets
filing, FINRA will publish a Regulatory
Notice no later than 60 days following
Commission approval of the Verification
of Assets filing. However, in this
proposed rule change, FINRA proposes
to make the effective date 60 days,
rather than ‘‘no later than 30 days’’,
following the publication of the
Regulatory Notice announcing
Commission approval of the filing.

FINRA has filed the proposed rule
change for immediate effectiveness and
has requested that the SEC waive the
requirement that the proposed rule
change not become operative for 30 days
after the date of the filing, such that
FINRA can implement the proposed
rule change immediately.
2. Statutory Basis
FINRA believes that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the provisions
of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,8 which
requires, among other things, that
FINRA rules must be designed to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative
acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, and, in
general, to protect investors and the
public interest. FINRA believes that a
30-day extension of the effective date of
SR–FINRA–2010–042 is appropriate to
provide firms sufficient advance notice
of the new Verification of Assets rule.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
FINRA does not believe that the
proposed rule change will result in 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
Written comments were neither
solicited nor received.
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, it has
become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 9 and Rule 19b–
4(f)(6) thereunder.10
A proposed rule change filed under
Rule 19b–4(f)(6) normally may not
become operative prior to 30 days after
the date of filing.11 However, Rule 19b–

In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
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 those 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.
[[Page 75528]]
A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange hereby proposes to extend the time period of the Pilot
Program \4\ which is currently scheduled to expire on December 31,
2010, through December 31, 2011, and to provide revised dates for
adding replacement issues to the Pilot. The Exchange proposes that the
semi-annual dates to replace issues that have been delisted be revised
to the second trading day following January 1, 2011 and July 1, 2011.
The Exchange also wishes to clarify that the replacement issues will be
selected based on trading activity for the six month period beginning
June 1, 2010, and ending November 30, 2010 for the January 2011
replacement, and the six month period beginning December 1, 2010 and
ending May 31, 2011 for the July 2011 replacements. This filing does
not propose any substantive changes to the Pilot Program: all classes
currently participating will remain the same and all minimum increments
will remain unchanged. The Exchange believes the benefits to public
customers and other market participants who will be able to express
their true prices to buy and sell options have been demonstrated to
outweigh the increase in quote traffic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Release No. 34-61061 (November 24, 2009), 74 FR 62857 (December 1,
2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Exchange agrees to [sic] reports that will analyze the impact
of the Pilot Program on market quality and options systems capacity.
These reports will include, but are not limited to: (1) Data and
written analysis on the number of quotations generated for options
selected for the Pilot Program; (2) an assessment of the quotation
spreads for the options selected for the Pilot Program; (3) an
assessment of the impact of the Pilot Program on the capacity of the
NYSE Arca's automated systems; (4) any capacity problems or other
problems that arose related to the operation of the Pilot Program and
how the Exchange addressed them; and (5) an assessment of trade through
complaints that were sent by the Exchange during the operation of the
Pilot Program and how they were addressed.
2. Statutory Basis
The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) \5\ of the
Act, in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) \6\ in
particular in that it is designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with
persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, and to
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanisms of a free and open
market and a national market system. The Exchange believes that the
Pilot Program promotes just and equitable principles of trade by
enabling public customers and other market participants to express
their true prices to buy and sell options.
