I. Introduction On October 16, 2015, NYSE MKT LLC (the ‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘NYSE MKT’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,2 a proposed rule change to delete Rule 410B—Equities governing reporting requirements for off-Exchange transactions. The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register on November 2, 2015.3 The Commission received no comment letters on the proposed rule change. On December 16, 2015, the Commission designated a longer period within which to approve the proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute proceedings to determine whether to approve or disapprove the proposed rule change.4 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change The Exchange proposes to delete Rule 410B—Equities (‘‘Rule 410B’’), which sets forth certain regulatory reporting requirements for member or member organizations effecting off-Exchange transactions in Exchange listed securities that are not reported to the Consolidated Tape, and to make conforming amendments to Rule 476A to delete a reference to Rule 410B. The Exchange represents that Rule 410B is no longer necessary in light of changes in trade reporting and regulatory requirements that have been put in place since the Exchange adopted Rule 410B. Changes to Regulatory Landscape On July 30, 2007, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (‘‘NASD’’), New York Stock Exchange LLC (‘‘NYSE’’), and NYSE Regulation, Inc. (‘‘NYSE Regulation’’) consolidated their member-firm regulation operations to create the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (‘‘FINRA’’) and entered into a plan to allocate to FINRA regulatory responsibility for common rules and common members (‘‘17d–2 Agreement’’).5 The Exchange was added as a party to the 17d-2 Agreement in 2009.6 In 2008, the Exchange, NASD, NYSE, and NYSE Regulation also entered into a plan to allocate to FINRA regulatory responsibility, over exchange members that are also FINRA members, for surveillance, investigation, and enforcement of insider trading with respect to NYSE- and MKT-listed stocks, among others, irrespective of where the relevant trading occurred (the ‘‘Insider Trading Plan’’).7 On June 14, 2010, FINRA was retained to perform the residual market surveillance and enforcement functions that had, up to that point, been performed by NYSE 5 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56148 (July 26, 2007), 72 FR 42146 (August 1, 2007) (File No. 4–544) (Notice of Filing and Order Approving and Declaring Effective a Plan for the Allocation of Regulatory Responsibilities).
