The Exchange accordingly believes that the proposed changes to the Network Access Service MRCs will allow them to more accurately reflect the value of the services provided. The Exchange operates in a highly competitive market in which exchanges offer co-location services as a means to facilitate the trading and other market activities of those market participants who believe that co-location enhances the efficiency of their operations. Accordingly, fees charged for colocation services are constrained by the active competition for the order flow of, and other business from, such market participants. If a particular exchange charges excessive fees for co-location services, affected market participants will opt to terminate their co-location arrangements with that exchange, and adopt a possible range of alternative strategies, including placing their servers in a physically proximate location outside the exchange’s data center (which could be a competing exchange), or pursuing strategies less dependent upon the lower exchange-toparticipant latency associated with colocation. Accordingly, the exchange charging excessive fees would stand to lose not only co-location revenues but also the liquidity of the formerly colocated trading firms, which could have additional follow-on effects on the market share and revenue of the affected exchange. For the reasons described above, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change reflects this competitive environment. pmangrum on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES C.

    \4\ In Amendment No. 1, the Exchange: (1) Added a bullet point 
stating that ``[b]ecause the Exchange's rules regarding the 
production of books and records are described in Rule 440, the 
Exchange is proposing to refer to Rule 440 in its proposed rules 
wherever NYSE Arca Equities Rule 4.4 is referenced in the rules of 
NYSE Arca Equities proposed in this filing;'' (2) deleted the 
sentence stating, ``If an exchange has approved trading rules, 
procedures and listing standards in place that have been approved by 
the Commission for the product class that would include a new 
derivative securities product, the listing and trading of such `new 
derivative securities product,' does not require a proposed rule 
change under Section 19b-4 of the Act'' and made conforming changes 
to the rest of that paragraph; (3) deleted the bullet point that 
stated, ``Correction of a typographical error in NYSE Arca Equities

terms are used in the Rule 5.1(b)' as is currently drafted in NYSE 
Arca Equities Rule 8.400(a)''; and (4) noted that ``for new ETPs to 
be traded pursuant to UTP, which are listed and traded on another

to allow for additional analysis of the proposed rule change's 
consistency with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act, which requires, among 
other things, that the rules of a national securities exchange be 
``designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and
