The proposed amendment was published for comment in the Federal Register on January 28, 2011.5 No comment letters were received in response to the Notice. This order approves the proposal. Currently, Section XVI of the Nasdaq/ UTP Plan requires each Participant to execute most amendments 6 to the Plan before the amendments can be filed with the Commission. The Participants proposed to amend the Plan to permit the submission of ministerial Plan amendments to the Commission under the signature of the Chairman of the Nasdaq/UTP Plan Operating. The categories of ministerial Plan amendments that may be submitted under the signature of the Chairman include amendments to the Plan that pertain solely to any one or more of the following: (1) Admitting a new Participant into the Plan; (2) Changing the name or address of a Participant; (3) Incorporating a change that the Commission has implemented by rule and that requires no conforming language to the text of the Plan (e.g., the Commission rule establishing the Advisory Committee); (4) Incorporating a change (i) that the Commission has implemented by rule, 2 17 CFR 240.608. U.S.C. 78k–1. 4 The Plan governs the collection, processing, and dissemination on a consolidated basis of quotation information and transaction reports in Eligible Securities for each of its Participants. This consolidated information informs investors of the current quotation and recent trade prices of Nasdaq securities. It enables investors to ascertain from one data source the current prices in all the markets trading Nasdaq securities. The Plan serves as the required transaction reporting plan for its Participants, which is a prerequisite for their trading Eligible Securities. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 55647 (April 19, 2007) 72 FR 20891 (April 26, 2007). 5 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63756 (January 21, 2011), 76 FR 5224 (‘‘Notice’’). 6 Some Plan amendments do not require a unanimous vote; therefore not every Participant would have to execute the amendment. 3 15 PO 00000 Frm 00105 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 (ii) that requires conforming language to the text of the Plan (e.g., the Commission rule amending the revenue allocation formula), and (iii) that a majority of all Participants has voted to approve; 7 and, (5) Incorporating a purely technical change, such as correcting an error or an inaccurate reference to a statutory provision, or removing language that has become obsolete (e.g., language regarding ITS). III. Discussion After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed amendment to the Plan is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder,8 and, in particular, Section 11A(a)(1) of the Act 9 and Rule 608 thereunder 10 in that they are necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors and the maintenance of fair and orderly markets, to remove impediments to, and perfect the mechanisms of, a national market system. Permitting the Chairman of the Nasdaq/UTP Plan Operating Committee to submit ministerial amendments will increase the efficiency of the administration of the Plan and increase the timeliness of updating the Plan for accuracy. The proposed amendment streamlining the process for admitting new Participants removes impediments to competition by facilitating the timely admission of a new Participant to the Plan. IV. Conclusion It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 11A of the Act,11 and Rule 608 thereunder,12 that the proposed amendment to Nasdaq/UTP Plan (File No. S7–24–89) is approved.

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

1. Purpose
    Currently, Arca Securities is the approved outbound order routing 
facility of the Exchange.\3\ Arca Securities is also the approved 
outbound order routing facility of the New York Stock Exchange LLC 
(``NYSE'') and NYSE Amex LLC (``NYSE Amex'').\4\ The Exchange, through 
NYSE Arca Equities, has also been previously approved to receive 
inbound routes of equities orders by Arca Securities in its capacity as 
an order routing facility of the NYSE and NYSE Amex.\5\ The Exchange's 
authority to receive inbound routes of equities orders by Arca 
Securities is subject to a pilot period ending March 31, 2011.\6\ The 
Exchange hereby seeks to extend the previously approved pilot period 
(with the attendant obligations and conditions) for an additional 6 
months, through September 30, 2011.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act''),\7\ in general, and 
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5),\8\ 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 mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system. 
Specifically, the proposed rule change will allow the Exchange to 
continue receiving inbound routes of equities orders from Arca 
Securities acting in its capacity as a facility of the NYSE and NYSE 
Amex, in a manner consistent with prior approvals and established 
protections. The Exchange believes that extending the previously 
approved pilot period for six months will permit both the Exchange and 
the Commission to further assess the impact of the Exchange's authority 
to receive direct inbound routes of equities orders via Arca Securities 
(including the attendant obligations and conditions).\9\

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section 
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\11\ 
Because the 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 prior to 
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, the proposed rule change has become
