Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 228 / Wednesday, November 26, 2014 / Notices
associated with its exchange members,
with the provisions of the Exchange Act,
the rules and regulations thereunder,
and the rules of the Exchange. The
proposed amendment to the Bylaws
would make explicit that a nonaffiliated director cannot be removed for
cause for decisions or actions taken in
good faith related to the regulatory
functions and responsibilities delegated
to NYSE Regulation by the Exchange.
The proposed amendment would
therefore provide non-affiliated
directors with reasonable assurances
that actions or decisions consistent with
their fiduciary duty and believed, in
good faith, to be the proper exercise of
NYSE Regulation’s delegated functions
and responsibilities could not be used
as a basis to remove those directors from
office. Accordingly, the Exchange
believes that the proposed amendment
would contribute to the orderly
operation of the NYSE Regulation board
of directors and its decision-making
process, and would enable the Exchange
to be so organized as to have the
capacity to carry out the purposes of the
Exchange Act and comply and enforce
compliance by its members and persons
associated with its members, with the
provisions of the Exchange Act. The
Exchange therefore believes that
approval of the amendment to the
Bylaws is consistent with Section
6(b)(1).
The Exchange also believes that this
filing furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Exchange Act 8 because the
proposed rule change would be
consistent with and facilitate a
governance and regulatory structure that
is designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in
regulating, clearing, settling, processing
information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities, 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. As discussed above, the
Exchange believes that the proposed
amendment would remove potential
uncertainty among non-affiliated
directors that certain decisions or
actions taken in good faith related to the
delegated functions and responsibilities
could result in their removal from NYSE
Regulation’s board of directors for cause
and thereby would contribute to
improved effectiveness in the board
decision-making process. The proposed
amendment is therefore consistent with
8 15
U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).

and facilitates a governance and
regulatory structure that furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the
Exchange Act. The orderly and efficient
operation of NYSE Regulation and its
board of directors is also designed to
protect investors as well as the public
interest.
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 Exchange Act.
The proposed rule change is not
intended to address competitive issues
but rather is concerned solely with the
administration and functioning of the
NYSE Regulation board of directors.
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

Register or up to 90 days (i) as the
Commission may designate if it finds
such longer period to be appropriate
and publishes its reasons for so finding
or (ii) as to which the self-regulatory
organization consents, the Commission
will:
(A) By order approve or disapprove
the proposed rule change, or
(B) institute proceedings to determine
whether the proposed rule change
should be disapproved.
