Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The Exchange proposes to amend the NYSE Arca Equities Schedule of Fees and Charges for Exchange Services (‘‘Fee Schedule’’) to exclude from its average daily volume and certain other calculations any trading day on which the Exchange is not open for the entire trading day and/or a disruption affects an Exchange system that lasts for more than 60 minutes during regular trading hours. The Exchange proposes to implement the fee change effective March 21, 2016. The proposed rule change is available on the Exchange’s Web site at www.nyse.com, at the principal office of the Exchange, and at the Commission’s Public Reference Room. 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

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 Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose The Exchange proposes to amend the Fee Schedule to exclude from its average daily volume (‘‘ADV’’) and certain other calculations any trading day on which the Exchange is not open for the entire trading day and/or a disruption affects an Exchange system that lasts for more than 60 minutes during regular trading hours. The Exchange proposes to implement the fee change effective March 21, 2016.4 As provided in the Fee Schedule, many of the NYSE Arca Equities’ transaction fees and credits are based on trading and liquidity thresholds that ETP Holders and Market Makers must satisfy in order to qualify for the particular rates. The Exchange believes that trading suspensions or disruptions can prevent ETP Holders and Market Makers from engaging in normal trading and liquidity provision in their assigned securities, leading to decreased trading volume compared to ADV. Accordingly, for purposes of determining transaction fees and credits for these market participants based on trading and liquidity thresholds [sic], ADV, and United States consolidated ADV (‘‘US CADV’’),5 the Exchange proposes to add text to current footnote 1 to the Fee Schedule that would permit the Exchange to exclude any trading day on which (1) the Exchange is not open for the entire trading day and/or (2) a disruption affects an Exchange system that lasts for more than 60 minutes 4 The Exchange originally filed to amend the Fee Schedule on March 1, 2016 (SR–NYSEArca–2016– 38) and withdrew such filing on March 11, 2016. The Exchange subsequently filed to amend the Fee Schedule on March 11, 2016 (SR–NYSEArca–2016– 45) and withdrew such filing on March 21, 2016. 5 US CADV is used here as defined in footnote 3 to the Fee Schedule. PO 00000 Frm 00078 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 during regular trading hours. The proposal is consistent with the Exchange’s options rules 6 and the rules of its affiliate NYSE MKT LLC.7 The proposed change would allow the Exchange to exclude days where the Exchange declares a trading halt in all securities or honors a market-wide trading halt declared by another market. The Exchange’s proposal would be similar to the current provision in the Fee Schedule whereby trade activity on days when the market closes early and on the date of the annual reconstitution of the Russell Investments Indexes does not count toward volume tiers.8 Generally, the market closes early on certain days before or after a holiday observed by the Exchange.9 The Exchange’s proposal is consistent with the rules of other self-regulatory organizations.10 The Exchange believes that artificially low volumes of trading on days when the Exchange is not open for the entire trading day reduces the average daily activity of ETP Holders and Market Makers both daily and monthly. Given the decreased trading volumes, the numerator for the monthly calculation (e.g., trading volume) would be correspondingly lower, but the denominator for the threshold calculations (e.g., the number of trading days) would not necessarily be decreased, and could result in an unintended increase in the cost of trading on the Exchange, a result that is unintended and undesirable to the Exchange and its ETP Holders and 6 See NYSE Arca Options Fees and Charges (‘‘The Exchange may exclude from the calculation of ADV contracts traded any day that (1) the Exchange is not open for the entire trading day and/or (2) a disruption affects an Exchange system that lasts for more than 60 minutes during regular trading hours (‘‘Exchange System Disruption’’). 7 See NYSE Amex Options Fee Schedule (‘‘The Exchange may exclude from its monthly calculations of contract volume any day that (1) the Exchange is not open for the entire trading day and/ or (2) a disruption affects an Exchange system that lasts for more than 60 minutes during regular trading hours’’). 8 See footnote 1 in the Fee Schedule. 9 For example, the Exchange is closed on Thanksgiving Day and closes early on the Friday immediately following Thanksgiving Day (e.g., Friday, November 25, 2016). 10 See notes 5–6 [sic], supra; see also NASDAQ Stock Market LLC Rule 7018(j) (‘‘For purposes of determining average daily volume and total consolidated volume under this rule, any day that the market is not open for the entire trading day will be excluded from such calculation.’’); International Securities Exchange, LLC Fee Schedule (‘‘For purposes of determining Priority Customer ADV, any day that the regular order book is not open for the entire trading day or the Exchange instructs members in writing to route their orders to other markets may be excluded from such calculation; provided that the Exchange will only remove the day for members that would have a lower ADV with the day included.’’).
