<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 7, 2011 / Notices
The Exchange believes that the
changes proposed herein would not
alter co-location users’ understanding of
the fees charged for co-location and
related services. In addition, the
changes proposed herein are intended to
clarify the applicable fees for colocation and related services—not new
or altered fees—and are designed to
accurately reflect the fees for co-locating
that the Exchange and co-location users
already understand to be in effect.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its
proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ‘‘Act’’),5 in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(4) 6 and 6(b)(5)
of the Act,7 in particular, in that it
provides for the equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees, and other charges
among its members and issuers and
other persons using its facilities and 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 proposed
change to the Price List is equitable
because it applies fees for comparable
co-location services uniformly to users
of those services and because access to
the Exchange and the services and
products it provides are offered on fair
and non-discriminatory terms. The
proposed changes would result in
clarification of the Exchange’s fees for
co-location and related services.
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
emcdonald on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
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 foregoing rule change is effective
upon filing pursuant to Section
U.S.C. 78f(b).
U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
7 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
19(b)(3)(A) 8 of the Act and
subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b–4 9
thereunder, because it establishes a due,
fee, or other charge imposed by the
NYSE Amex.
At any time within 60 days of the
filing of such 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

submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing,
including whether the proposed 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
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.
emcdonald on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend its
Fee Schedule for co-location services to
correct several typographical errors.
The Exchange currently offers space
at its data center in cabinets with tiered
fees for the use of this space
corresponding to the aggregated number
of kilowatts allocated. However, the
Exchange’s Fee Schedule provides an
incomplete list of power tier levels.
Accordingly, the Exchange proposes to
amend its Fee Schedule to reflect that
the tiered fees are based on the
aggregated power allocation of (i) Four
to eight kilowatts; (ii) nine to 20
kilowatts; (iii) 21 to 40 kilowatts; or (iv)
41 kilowatts and greater. A co-location
user whose power allocation has been at
a level that is currently not reflected in
the Fee Schedule has been charged
according to the tiers set forth herein.
For example, a user with twelve
kilowatts allocated has been charged
$1,200 per-kilowatt per-month for the
first 8 kilowatts and $1,050 per-kilowatt
per-month for the next 4 kilowatts
(between 9 and 12).
In addition to the space that it offers
at its data center, the Exchange provides
co-location users with access to the
Exchange’s trading and execution
systems and to the Exchange’s
proprietary market data products
through either the Exchange’s Liquidity
Center Network (‘‘LCN’’), a local area
network available in the data center, or
the Exchange’s Secure Financial
Transaction Infrastructure (‘‘SFTI’’)
network, to which all co-location users
have access. Access is available in either
one or ten gigabit capacities, for which
co-location users incur an initial charge
per connection and an ongoing monthly
charge per connection. The Exchange
proposes to amend its Fee Schedule to
reflect that the initial charge for a one
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:37 Sep 06, 2011
Jkt 223001
gigabit circuit for Bundled Network
Access, Option 3 is $27,000, not $27,500
as currently stated in the Fee Schedule.
The change in price is due to a
typographical error in the Exchange’s
previous filing.3 Co-location users have
always been charged $27,000 for this fee
and have never been charged the fee of
$27,500 that is currently stated in the
Fee Schedule.
Finally, the Exchange proposes to
amend its Fee Schedule to include the
ongoing monthly charge per connection
for a ten gigabit circuit for LCN access,
which is $12,000. The reference to the
ongoing monthly charge was
erroneously omitted from the Fee
Schedule submitted with the Exchange’s
previous filing.4 Co-location users have
always been charged the $12,000
monthly charge per connection for a ten
gigabit circuit for LCN access.
The Exchange believes that the
changes proposed herein would not
alter co-location users’ understanding of
the fees charged for co-location and
related services. In addition, the
changes proposed herein are intended to
clarify the applicable fees for colocation and related services—not new
or altered fees—and are designed to
accurately reflect the fees for co-locating
that the Exchange and co-location users
already understand to be in effect.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its
proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ‘‘Act’’),5 in general, and furthers the

because it applies fees for comparable
co-location services uniformly to users
of those services and because access to

proposed changes would result in

co-location and related services.
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.

Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
No written comments were solicited

III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The foregoing rule change is effective
upon filing pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) 8 of the Act and
subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b–4 9
thereunder, because it establishes a due,
fee, or other charge imposed by the
NYSE Amex.
At any time within 60 days of the
filing of such 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

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 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.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend its Fee Schedule for co-location
services to correct several typographical errors.
The Exchange currently offers space at its data center in cabinets
with tiered fees for the use of this space corresponding to the
aggregated number of kilowatts allocated. However, the Exchange's Fee
Schedule provides an incomplete list of power tier levels. Accordingly,
the Exchange proposes to amend its Fee Schedule to reflect that the
tiered fees are based on the aggregated power allocation of (i) Four to
eight kilowatts; (ii) nine to 20 kilowatts; (iii) 21 to 40 kilowatts;
or (iv) 41 kilowatts and greater. A co-location user whose power
allocation has been at a level that is currently not reflected in the
Fee Schedule has been charged according to the tiers set forth herein.
For example, a user with twelve kilowatts allocated has been charged
$1,200 per-kilowatt per-month for the first 8 kilowatts and $1,050 per-
kilowatt per-month for the next 4 kilowatts (between 9 and 12).
In addition to the space that it offers at its data center, the
Exchange provides co-location users with access to the Exchange's
trading and execution systems and to the Exchange's proprietary market
data products through either the Exchange's Liquidity Center Network
(``LCN''), a local area network available in the data center, or the
Exchange's Secure Financial Transaction Infrastructure (``SFTI'')
network, to which all co-location users have access. Access is
available in either one or ten gigabit capacities, for which co-
location users incur an initial charge per connection and an ongoing
monthly charge per connection. The Exchange proposes to amend its Fee
Schedule to reflect that the initial charge for a one gigabit circuit
for Bundled Network Access, Option 3 is $27,000, not $27,500 as
currently stated in the Fee Schedule. The change in price is due to a
typographical error in the Exchange's previous filing.\3\ Co-location
users have always been charged $27,000 for this fee and have never been
charged the fee of $27,500 that is currently stated in the Fee
Schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63274 (November 8,
2010), 75 FR 69722 (November 15, 2010) (SR-NYSEAmex-2010-101).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, the Exchange proposes to amend its Fee Schedule to include
the ongoing monthly charge per connection for a ten gigabit circuit for
LCN access, which is $12,000. The reference to the ongoing monthly
charge was erroneously omitted from the Fee Schedule submitted with the
Exchange's previous filing.\4\ Co-location users have always been
charged the $12,000 monthly charge per connection for a ten gigabit
circuit for LCN access.

The Exchange believes that the changes proposed herein would not
alter co-location users' understanding of the fees charged for co-
location and related services. In addition, the changes proposed herein
are intended to clarify the applicable fees for co-location and related
services--not new or altered fees--and are designed to accurately
reflect the fees for co-locating that the Exchange and co-location
users already understand to be in effect.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act''),\5\ in
general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) \6\ and 6(b)(5)
of the Act,\7\ in particular, in that it provides for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its
members and issuers and other persons using its facilities and 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 proposed change to the Fee
Schedule is equitable because it applies fees for comparable co-
location services uniformly to users of those services and because
access to the Exchange and the services and products it provides are
offered on fair and non-discriminatory terms. The proposed changes
would result in clarification of the Exchange's fees for co-location
and related services.
