In order to comply with the Market Access Rule, DE Route proposes to implement, as part of the procedures of DE Route, certain tests, on both an order-by-order basis and over a short period of time, that are designed to limit the financial exposure that could arise as a result of market access and to ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements that are applicable in connection with market access. Consistent with the requirements of the Market Access Rule, these tests are designed to reject orders that DE Route deems to be erroneous or duplicative, would cause the entering Member’s credit exposure to exceed a preset credit threshold, or are non-compliant with applicable pre-trade regulatory requirements (as defined in the Market Access Rule).

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

In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange 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 these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization has prepared summaries,
set forth in Sections A, B 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

Purpose
On November 3, 2010, the Commission adopted the Market Access

[[Page 44063]]

Rule,\4\ pursuant to which, among other things, broker-dealers
providing market access are required to implement certain pre-order
entry checks in order to manage the financial, regulatory, and other
risks associated with providing its customers with market access. In
anticipation of the upcoming July 14, 2011 compliance date for the
Market Access Rule, the Exchange is proposing to amend EDGA Rule 11.9
to describe the manner in which the Exchange's affiliated routing
broker-dealer, Direct Edge ECN, LLC d/b/a DE Route (``DE Route'') will
handle routable orders consistent with the Market Access Rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63241 (November 3,
2010), 75 FR 69792 (November 15, 2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to comply with the Market Access Rule, DE Route proposes
to implement, as part of the procedures of DE Route, certain tests, on
both an order-by-order basis and over a short period of time, that are
designed to limit the financial exposure that could arise as a result
of market access and to ensure compliance with all regulatory
requirements that are applicable in connection with market access.
Consistent with the requirements of the Market Access Rule, these tests
are designed to reject orders that DE Route deems to be erroneous or
duplicative, would cause the entering Member's credit exposure to
exceed a preset credit threshold, or are non-compliant with applicable
pre-trade regulatory requirements (as defined in the Market Access
Rule). To the extent DE Route determines, based on its procedures, that
an order should be rejected, DE Route may also seek to cancel orders
that have already been routed away.
Basis
The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder that
are applicable to a national securities exchange, and, in particular,
with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\5\ In particular, the
proposed change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\6\
because it would promote just and equitable principles of trade, and,
in general, protect investors and the public interest. The proposed
rule is consistent with the requirements of the Act because the change
is necessary for the Exchange's affiliated broker-dealer, DE Route, to
comply with the Market Access Rule. The Exchange also believes that the
proposed changes will benefit Members of the Exchange because it
provides clarity on the procedures employed by DE Route consistent with
the Market Access Rule.

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

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

The proposed rule change does not 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

The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested
parties.

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 \7\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\8\

\7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
\8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A proposed rule change filed under 19b-4(f)(6) normally may not
become operative prior to 30 days after the date of filing.\9\ However,
Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \10\ permits the Commission to designate a
shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked the
Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal may
become operative immediately upon filing. The Exchange notes that
waiving the 30-day operative delay will allow DE Route to comply with
Rule 15c3-5 under the Act by July 14, 2011; \11\ the compliance date
for Rule 15c3-5. For this reason, the Commission believes that waiving
the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, and designates the proposed rule
change to be operative upon filing with the Commission.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii). In addition, Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) requires that a self-regulatory organization submit to
the Commission written notice of its intent to file the proposed
rule change, along with a brief description and text of the proposed
rule change, at least five business days prior to the date of filing
of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by
the Commission. The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
\10\ Id.
\11\ 17 CFR 240.15c3-5.
\12\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
