Purpose Rule 67(b) (Compliance with Data Collection Requirements) 4 implements the data collection and Web site publication requirements of the Plan.5 Supplementary Material .70 to Rule 67 currently provides, among other things, that the requirement that the Exchange or their DEA make certain data for the Pre-Pilot Period and Pilot Period 6 publicly available on the Exchange’s or DEA’s Web site pursuant to Appendix B to the Plan shall commence on April 28, 2017.7 The Exchange is proposing to amend Supplementary Material .70 to Rule 67 to delay the Appendix B data Web site publication date until August 31, 2017. The Exchange is proposing to further delay the Web site publication of Appendix B data until August 31, 2017 to permit additional time to consider a methodology to mitigate concerns raised 4 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 77468 (March 29, 2016), 81 FR 19269 (April 4, 2016) (Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Adopting Requirements for the Collection and Transmission of Data Pursuant to Appendices B and C of Regulation NMS Plan to Implement a Tick Size Pilot Program) (SR–NYSE–2016–27); see also Securities Exchange Act Release No. 78813 (September 12, 2016), 81 FR 63825 (September 16, 2016) (Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change to Amend Rule 67 to Modify Certain Data Collection Requirements of the Regulation NMS Plan to Implement a Tick Size Pilot Program) (SR– NYSE–2016–63); see also Letter from John C.

PO 00000 Frm 00096 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 in connection with the publication of Appendix B data.8 Pursuant to this proposed amendment, the Exchange would publish the required Appendix B data for the Pre-Pilot Period through April 30, 2017, by August 31, 2017. Thereafter, Appendix B data for a given month would be published within 120 calendar days following month end.9 Thus, for example, Appendix B data for May 2017 would be made available on the Exchange’s or DEA’s Web site by September 28, 2017, and data for the month of June 2017 would be made available on the Exchange’s or DEA’s Web site by October 28, 2017. As noted in Item 2 of this filing, the Exchange has filed the proposed rule change for immediate effectiveness and has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay. If the Commission waives the 30-day operative delay, the operative date of the proposed rule change will be the date of filing. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,10 in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,11 in particular, in that it is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, 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. The Plan is designed to allow the Commission, market participants, and the public to study and assess the impact of increment conventions on the liquidity and trading of the common stock of small-capitalization companies. The Exchange believes that this proposal is consistent with the Act because it is in furtherance of the objectives of Section VII(A) of the Plan in that it is designed to provide the Exchange with additional time to consider a methodology to mitigate concerns raised in connection with the publication of Appendix B data. 8 On March 3, 2017, FINRA filed a proposed rule change to implement an anonymous, grouped masking methodology for Appendix B.I, B.II. and B.IV. data. The comment period ended on April 5, 2017, and the Commission received three comment letters. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80193 (March 9, 2017) 82 FR 13901 (March 15, 2017). 9 FINRA also submitted an exemptive request, on behalf of all Participants, to the SEC in connection with the instant filing. 10 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). 11 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).

Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange notes that the proposed rule change implements the provisions of the Plan, and is designed to assist the Participants in meeting their regulatory obligations pursuant to the Plan. sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES 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 Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 12 and Rule 19b– 4(f)(6) thereunder.13 A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19(b)-4(f)(6) normally does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii), the Commission may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change for immediate effectiveness and has requested that the Commission waive the requirement that the proposed rule change not become operative for 30 days after the date of the filing so that it may become operative on the date of filing. The Exchange notes that the proposed rule change is intended to mitigate confidentiality concerns raised in connection with Section VII(A) of the Plan, which provides that the data made publicly available will not identify the Trading Center that generated the data. The Exchange states that the additional time would allow consideration of a methodology to mitigate concerns related to the publication of Appendix B data.14 12 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).

If the Commission takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved. IV.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 67 to modify the date of 
Appendix B Web site data publication pursuant to the Regulation NMS 
Plan to Implement a Tick Size Pilot Program (``Plan''). 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.

II. 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 the 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    Rule 67(b) (Compliance with Data Collection Requirements) \4\ 
implements the data collection and Web site publication requirements of 
the Plan.\5\ Supplementary Material .70 to Rule 67 currently provides, 
among other things, that the requirement that the Exchange or their DEA 
make certain data for the Pre-Pilot Period and Pilot Period \6\ 
publicly available on the Exchange's or DEA's Web site pursuant to 
Appendix B to the Plan shall commence on April 28, 2017.\7\ The 
Exchange is proposing to amend Supplementary Material .70 to Rule 67 to 
delay the Appendix B data Web site publication date until August 31, 
2017. The Exchange is proposing to further delay the Web site 
publication of Appendix B data until August 31, 2017 to permit 
additional time to consider a methodology to mitigate concerns raised 
in connection with the publication of Appendix B data.\8\

2016), 81 FR 19269 (April 4, 2016) (Immediate Effectiveness of

Transmission of Data Pursuant to Appendices B and C of Regulation

John C. Roeser, Associate Director, Division of Trading and Markets, 
Commission, to Sherry Sandler, Associate General Counsel, NYSE, 
dated April 4, 2016.
    \5\ The Participants filed the Plan to comply with an order 
issued by the Commission on June 24, 2014. See Letter from Brendon 
J. Weiss, Vice President, Intercontinental Exchange, Inc., to 
Secretary, Commission, dated August 25, 2014 (``SRO Tick Size Plan 
Proposal''). See Securities Exchange Act Release No 72460 (June 24, 
2014), 79 FR 36840 (June 30, 2014); see also Securities Exchange Act 
Release No. 74892 (May 6, 2015), 80 FR 27513 (May 13, 2015).

meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.
    \7\ See Supplementary Material .70 to Rule 67. See also 
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80172 (March 8, 2017), 82 FR 
13685 (March 14, 2017). See also Letter from David S. Shillman, 
Associate Director, Division of Trading and Markets, Commission, to 
Robert L.D. Colby, Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer, 
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (``FINRA''), dated 
February 28, 2017.
    \8\ On March 3, 2017, FINRA filed a proposed rule change to 
implement an anonymous, grouped masking methodology for Appendix 
B.I, B.II. and B.IV. data. The comment period ended on April 5, 
2017, and the Commission received three comment letters. See 
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80193 (March 9, 2017) 82 FR 
13901 (March 15, 2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to this proposed amendment, the Exchange would publish the 
required Appendix B data for the Pre-Pilot Period through April 30, 
2017, by August 31, 2017. Thereafter, Appendix B data for a given month 
would be published within 120 calendar days following month end.\9\ 
Thus, for example, Appendix B data for May 2017 would be made available 
on the Exchange's or DEA's Web site by September 28, 2017, and data for 
the month of June 2017 would be made available on the Exchange's or 
DEA's Web site by October 28, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ FINRA also submitted an exemptive request, on behalf of all 
Participants, to the SEC in connection with the instant filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As noted in Item 2 of this filing, the Exchange has filed the 
proposed rule change for immediate effectiveness and has requested that 
the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay. If the Commission 
waives the 30-day operative delay, the operative date of the proposed 
rule change will be the date of filing.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 
6(b) of the Act,\10\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 
6(b)(5) of the Act,\11\ in particular, in that it is designed to 
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just 
and equitable principles of trade, 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.

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Plan is designed to allow the Commission, market participants, 
and the public to study and assess the impact of increment conventions 
on the liquidity and trading of the common stock of small-
capitalization companies. The Exchange believes that this proposal is 
consistent with the Act because it is in furtherance of the objectives 
of Section VII(A) of the Plan in that it is designed to provide the 
Exchange with additional time to consider a methodology to mitigate 
concerns raised in connection with the publication of Appendix B data.

[[Page 22573]]

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will 
result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or 
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange 
notes that the proposed rule change implements the provisions of the 
Plan, and is designed to assist the Participants in meeting their 
regulatory obligations pursuant to the Plan.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i) 
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public 
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) 
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or 
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become 
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \12\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19(b)-4(f)(6) normally does 
not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the filing. 
However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii), the Commission may 
designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the 
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has filed 
the proposed rule change for immediate effectiveness and has requested 
that the Commission waive the requirement that the proposed rule change 
not become operative for 30 days after the date of the filing so that 
it may become operative on the date of filing.
    The Exchange notes that the proposed rule change is intended to 
mitigate confidentiality concerns raised in connection with Section 
VII(A) of the Plan, which provides that the data made publicly 
available will not identify the Trading Center that generated the data. 
The Exchange states that the additional time would allow consideration 
of a methodology to mitigate concerns related to the publication of 
Appendix B data.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ The Commission recently approved a FINRA proposal to 
implement an aggregated, anonymous grouped masking methodology for 
the publication of Appendix B data related to OTC trading activity. 
See Securities Exchange Release No. 80551, (April 28, 2017), 82 FR 
20948 (May 4, 2017). See also Letter from David S. Shillman, 
Associate Director, Division of Trading and Markets, Commission, to 
Marcia E. Asquith, Executive Vice President FINRA, dated April 28, 
2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is 
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest 
because it will synchronize the timing for publication of Appendix B 
data for all Participants, which should enhance the consistency and 
usefulness of the data.\15\ Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the 
30-day operative delay and designates the proposed rule change to be 
operative on the date of filing.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ The Commission recently granted exemptive relief to the 
Participants delay the publication of their Appendix B data until 
August 31, 2017. See Letter from David S. Shillman, Associate 
Director, Division of Trading and Markets, Commission, to Jennifer 
Piorko Mitchell, Vice President and Deputy Corporate Secretary, 
FINRA, dated April 27, 2017. The Commission notes that other 
Participants have submitted proposed rule changes to delay the 
publication of Appendix B data until August 31, 2017. See e.g., SR-
BatsBYX-2017-10; SR-BatsEDGA-2017-10; SR-BatsEDGX-2017-19; SR-BX-
2017-022; SR-CHX-2017-07; SR-FINRA-2017-010; SR-IEX-2017-12; SR-
NASDAQ-2017-044; SR-Phlx-2017-33; SR-NYSEArca-2017-49; SR-NYSEMKT-
2017-24.
    \16\ For purposes only of waiving the operative delay for this 
proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact 
on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule 
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule 
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or 
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or 
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission 
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to 
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule 
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
