The Exchanges and Citadel in their comment letters argue that changes in market structure such as the inability of DMMs, compared to specialists, to ‘‘set prices’’ in their assigned securities, and the movement of trading volume in NYSE-listed securities away from the NYSE, support the elimination of the Prohibited Transactions Rule. But, as noted above, the Prohibited Transactions Rule was included in the New Market Model rule filing that established the role of DMMs, and the market-share statistics offered by Citadel—which purportedly establish the relatively weak pricing power of a DMM 47—fail to acknowledge that the Exchanges have a dominant market share in the closing auction,48 and that a DMM has discretion and informational advantages that place the DMM in a unique position to choose its own level 44 See Exchange Rule 104(j); see also NYSE Rule 123C and NYSE MKT Rule 123C—Equities. 45 See NYSE Rule 123C(7)(b); NYSE MKT Rule 123C(7)(b)—Equities. 46 Securities Exchange Act Release No. 58845 (Oct. 24, 2008), 73 FR 64379, 64388–89 (Oct. 29, 2008) (SR–NYSE–2008–46). 47 See Citadel Letter, supra note 7, at 2. 48 See supra note 39 and accompanying text. VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:50 Jul 19, 2017 Jkt 241001 of participation in the auction and to influence the closing price.49 Additionally, the argument by Citadel that the current prohibition creates an uneven playing field, and that it limits DMMs’ ‘‘ability to provide competitive quotations,’’ 50 fails to address that DMMs have unique privileges on NYSE and NYSE MKT and that the proposed rule change is not limited to circumstances in which DMMs would be allowed to quote competitively and provide liquidity, but would also allow them to aggressively take liquidity. Additionally, while NYSE and NYSE MKT have argued that the proposal is consistent with the Exchange Act because remaining exchange rules address the possibility of disruptive or improper DMM trading during the last ten minutes of the day, the Commission does not believe that NYSE and NYSE MKT have met their burden to demonstrate that these other rules— which require the exercise of judgment as to what is ‘‘reasonable,’’ ‘‘excessive,’’ ‘‘appropriate,’’ or ‘‘commensurate’’ 51— are adequate substitutes for a clear, meaningful, and enforceable bright-line rule that limits aggressive DMM trading at a particularly sensitive and important time of the trading day and that addresses the risk of destabilizing or even manipulative activity. Additionally, the Commission believes that NYSE and NYSE MKT have merely asserted that, but not explained how, existing surveillances can act as an adequate substitute for this bright-line rule. Thus, because the Exchanges’ arguments in favor of the proposed rule changes do not adequately address significant issues raised by the proposals, the Commission does not find that the proposed rule changes are consistent with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange and, in particular, with Section 6(b)(5) of the Exchange Act. V. Conclusion It is therefore ordered that, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Exchange Act,52 the proposed rule changes (SR– NYSE–2016–71 and SR–NYSEMKT– 2016–99) be, and hereby are, disapproved. supra notes 42–44 and accompanying text.

The Line traverses United States Postal Service Zip Codes 60416 and 60407. UP has certified that: (1) No local or overhead traffic has moved over the Line for at least two years; (2) there is no need to reroute any traffic over other lines; (3) no formal complaint filed by a user of rail service on the Line (or by a state or local government entity acting on behalf of such user) regarding cessation of service over the Line is pending either with the Surface Transportation Board (Board) or with VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:50 Jul 19, 2017 Jkt 241001 any U.S. District Court or has been decided in favor of complainant within the two-year period; and (4) the requirements at 49 CFR 1105.12 (newspaper publication) and 49 CFR 1152.50(d)(1) (notice to governmental agencies) have been met. As a condition to this exemption, any employee adversely affected by the discontinuance of service shall be protected under Oregon Short Line Railroad—Abandonment Portion Goshen Branch Between Firth & Ammon, in Bingham & Bonneville Counties, Idaho, 360 I.C.C. 91 (1979). To address whether this condition adequately protects affected employees, a petition for partial revocation under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) must be filed. Provided no formal expression of intent to file an offer of financial assistance (OFA) to subsidize continued rail service has been received, this exemption will be effective on August 19, 2017, unless stayed pending reconsideration. Petitions to stay that do not involve environmental issues and formal expressions of intent to file an OFA to subsidize continued rail service under 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2) 1 must be filed by July 28, 2017.2 Petitions for reconsideration must be filed by August 9, 2017, with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW., Washington, DC 20423–0001. A copy of any petition filed with the Board should be sent to Mack H. Shumate, Jr., Union Pacific Railroad Company, 101 North Wacker Drive, Room 1920, Chicago, IL 60606. If the verified notice contains false or misleading information, the exemption is void ab initio. Board decisions and notices are available on our Web site at WWW.STB.GOV. Decided: July 14, 2017.

See 49 CFR 1002.2(f)(25). 2 Because this is a discontinuance proceeding and not an abandonment, interim trail use/rail banking and public use conditions are not appropriate. Because there will be an environmental review during abandonment, this discontinuance does not require an environmental review.
