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

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
Exchange Rule 80C to establish rules to
comply with the requirements of the
Plan to Address Extraordinary Market
Volatility submitted to the Commission
pursuant to Rule 608 of Regulation NMS
under the Act (the ‘‘Plan’’). The
Exchange proposes to adopt the changes
for a pilot period that coincides with the
pilot period for the Plan, which is
currently scheduled as a one-year pilot
to begin on April 8, 2013.
Background
Since May 6, 2010, when the markets
experienced excessive volatility in an
abbreviated time period, i.e., the ‘‘flash
crash,’’ the equities exchanges and
FINRA have implemented market-wide
measures designed to restore investor
confidence by reducing the potential for
excessive market volatility. Among the
measures adopted include pilot plans
for stock-by-stock trading pauses 4 and
related changes to the equities market
clearly erroneous execution rules 5 and
more stringent equities market maker
quoting requirements.6 On May 31,
2012, the Commission approved the
Plan, as amended, on a one-year pilot
basis.7 In addition, the Commission
approved changes to the equities
market-wide circuit breaker rules on a
pilot basis to coincide with the pilot
period for the Plan.8

e.g., NYSE Rule 80C.
5 See, e.g., NYSE Rule 128.
6 See, e.g., NYSE Rule 104(a)(1)(B).

Extraordinary Market Volatility).

The Plan is designed to prevent trades
in individual NMS Stocks from
occurring outside of specified Price
Bands.9 As described more fully below,
the requirements of the Plan are coupled
with Trading Pauses to accommodate
more fundamental price moves (as
opposed to erroneous trades or
momentary gaps in liquidity). All
trading centers in NMS Stocks,
including both those operated by
Participants and those operated by
members of Participants, are required to
establish, maintain, and enforce written
policies and procedures that are
reasonably designed to comply with the
requirements specified in the Plan.10 As
set forth in more detail in the Plan, Price
Bands consisting of a Lower Price Band
and an Upper Price Band for each NMS
Stock are calculated by the Processors.11
When the National Best Bid (Offer) is
below (above) the Lower (Upper) Price
Band, the Processors shall disseminate
such National Best Bid (Offer) with an
appropriate flag identifying it as
unexecutable. When the National Best
Bid (Offer) is equal to the Upper (Lower)
Price Band, the Processors shall
distribute such National Best Bid (Offer)
with an appropriate flag identifying it as
a Limit State Quotation.12 All trading
centers in NMS Stocks must maintain
written policies and procedures that are
reasonably designed to prevent the
display of offers below the Lower Price
Band and bids above the Upper Price
Band for NMS Stocks. Notwithstanding
this requirement, the Processor shall
display an offer below the Lower Price
Band or a bid above the Upper Price
Band, but with a flag that it is nonexecutable. Such bids or offers shall not
be included in the National Best Bid or
National Best Offer calculations.13
Trading in an NMS Stock
immediately enters a Limit State if the
National Best Offer (Bid) equals but
does not cross the Lower (Upper) Price
Band.14 Trading for an NMS stock exits
a Limit State if, within 15 seconds of
entering the Limit State, all Limit State
Quotations were executed or canceled
in their entirety. If the market does not
exit a Limit State within 15 seconds,
then the Primary Listing Exchange
would declare a five-minute trading

terms of the Plan.
