As part of the NMM Pilot, NYSE eliminated the function of specialists on the Exchange creating a new category of market participant, the Designated Market Maker or ‘‘DMM.’’ 6 Separately, the NYSE established the SLP Pilot, which established SLPs as a new class of market participants to supplement the liquidity provided by DMMs.7 The NYSE adopted NYSE Rule 107B governing SLPs as a six-month pilot program commencing in November 2008. This NYSE pilot has been extended several times, most recently to January 31, 2014.8 The NYSE is in the process of requesting an extension of their SLP Pilot until July 31, 2014 or until the Commission approves the pilot as permanent.9 The extension of the NYSE SLP Pilot until July 31, 2014 runs parallel with the extension of the NMM pilot until July 31, 2014, or until the Commission approves the NMM Pilot as permanent. 5 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 58845 (October 24, 2008), 73 FR 64379 (October 29, 2008) (SR–NYSE–2008–46). 6 See NYSE Rule 103. 7 See NYSE Rule 107B and NYSE MKT Rule 107B—Equities.
