Change

marketplace or whether other initiatives
should be adopted in lieu of the current
pilot.
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend
NYSE Rule 80C, which provides for
trading pauses in individual securities
due to extraordinary market volatility,
to extend the effective date of the pilot
by which such rule operates from the
current scheduled expiration date of
August 11, 2011,4 until January 31,
2012.
NYSE Rule 80C requires the Exchange
to pause trading in an individual
security listed on the Exchange if the
price moves by a specified percentage as
compared to prices of that security in
the preceding five-minute period during
a trading day, which period is defined
as a ‘‘Trading Pause.’’ The pilot was
developed and implemented as a
market-wide initiative by the Exchange
and other national securities exchanges
in consultation with the Commission
staff and is currently applicable to all
NMS stocks and specified exchangetraded products.5
The extension proposed herein would
allow the pilot to continue to operate
without interruption while the
Exchange, other national securities
exchanges and the Commission further

The Exchange believes that its
proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ‘‘Act’’),6 in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,7
in particular, in that it is designed to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative
acts and practices, 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 change proposed herein meets
these requirements in that it promotes
uniformity across markets concerning
decisions to pause trading in a security
when there are significant price
movements. Additionally, extension of
the pilot until January 31, 2012 would
allow the pilot to continue to operate
without interruption while the
Exchange and the Commission further
assess the effect of the pilot on the
marketplace or whether other initiatives
should be adopted in lieu of the current
pilot.
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 8 and Rule
19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.9 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
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)
of the Act 10 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii)
thereunder.11
A proposed rule change filed under
Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 12 normally does not
become operative for 30 days after the
date of filing. However, pursuant to
Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) 13 the Commission
may 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 Commission believes that
waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, as it
will allow the pilot program to continue
uninterrupted, thereby avoiding the
investor confusion that could result
from a temporary interruption in the
pilot program. For this reason, the
Commission designates the proposed
rule change to be operative upon
filing.14
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:
10 15
U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b–
4(f)(6)(iii) requires the Exchange to give the
Commission written notice of the Exchange’s 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.
12 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6).
13 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii).
14 For purposes only of waiving the 30-day
operative delay, the Commission has also
considered the proposed rule’s impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See
15 U.S.C. 78c(f).

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend NYSE Rule 80C, which provides for
trading pauses in individual securities due to extraordinary market
volatility, to extend the effective date of the pilot by which such
rule operates from the current scheduled expiration date of August 11,
2011,\4\ until January 31, 2012.

\4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 64254 (April 7,
2011), 76 FR 20767 (April 13, 2011) (SR-NYSE-2011-16).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NYSE Rule 80C requires the Exchange to pause trading in an
individual security listed on the Exchange if the price moves by a
specified percentage as compared to prices of that security in the
preceding five-minute period during a trading day, which period is
defined as a ``Trading Pause.'' The pilot was developed and implemented
as a market-wide initiative by the Exchange and other national
securities exchanges in consultation with the Commission staff and is
currently applicable to all NMS stocks and specified exchange-traded
products.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ The Exchange notes that the other national securities
exchanges and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority have
adopted the pilot in substantially similar form. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 62252 (June 10, 2010), 75 FR 34186 (June
16, 2010) (File Nos. SR-BATS-2010-014; SR-EDGA-2010-01; SR-EDGX-

pilot to include all NMS stocks not already included therein will be
implemented on August 8, 2011. See Securities Exchange Act Release

The extension proposed herein would allow the pilot to continue to
operate without interruption while the Exchange, other national
securities exchanges and the Commission further assess the effect of
the pilot on the marketplace or whether other initiatives should be
adopted in lieu of the current pilot.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act''),\6\ in
general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\7\
in particular, in that it is designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, 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 change proposed herein meets these requirements in
that it promotes uniformity across markets concerning decisions to
pause trading in a security when there are significant price movements.
Additionally, extension of the pilot until January 31, 2012 would allow
the pilot to continue to operate without interruption while the
Exchange and the Commission further assess the effect of the pilot on
the marketplace or whether other initiatives should be adopted in lieu
of the current pilot.

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 \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\9\
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
[[Page 50791]]
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 effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\11\

requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the
Exchange's 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \12\ normally
does not become operative for 30 days after the date of filing.
However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \13\ the Commission may
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 Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, as
it will allow the pilot program to continue uninterrupted, thereby
avoiding the investor confusion that could result from a temporary
interruption in the pilot program. For this reason, the Commission
designates the proposed rule change to be operative upon filing.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also 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.
