proposed rule change as described in
Items I, II, and III below, which Items
have been prepared by the selfregulatory organization. The
Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule
change from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to amend
Section 146 of the NYSE American
Company Guide (the ‘‘Company Guide’’)
to provide that companies initially
listed on or after October 1, 2017 will
not be eligible to receive corporate
governance tools under the Exchange’s
services offering. 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
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend
Section 146 of the Company Guide to
provide that companies initially listed
on or after October 1, 2017 will not be
eligible to receive corporate governance
tools under the Exchange’s services
offering.
As set forth in Section 146, the
Exchange currently provides Eligible
New Listings 4 with complimentary
4 For the purposes of Section 146, the term
‘‘Eligible New Listing’’ means (i) any U.S. company
that lists common stock on the Exchange for the
first time and any non-U.S. company that lists an
equity security on the Exchange under Section 101
or 110 of the Company Guide for the first time,
regardless of whether such U.S. or non-U.S.
company conducts an offering, (ii) any U.S. or nonU.S. company that transfers its listing of common
stock or equity securities, respectively, to the
Exchange from another national securities exchange
and (iii) any U.S. or non-U.S. company emerging
from a bankruptcy, spinoff (where a company lists

Web-hosting products and services
(with a commercial value of
approximately $16,000 annually), webcasting services (with a commercial
value of approximately $6,500
annually), whistleblower hotline
services (with a commercial value of
approximately $4,000 annually), and
news distribution products and services
(with a commercial value of
approximately $20,000 annually) and
corporate governance tools (with a
commercial value of approximately
$15,000 annually) for a period of 24
calendar months. The Exchange’s
experience has been that companies that
qualify as Eligible New Listings have
generally not been interested in availing
themselves of the corporate governance
tools available as part of the services
offering. As such the Exchange has
decided to discontinue the corporate
governance tool portion of its service
offering for companies that list on or
after October 1, 2017. Any company that
is listed prior to October 1, 2017 will
continue to be able to access corporate
governance tools to the extent that they
are eligible to do so under Section 146
as currently in effect.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b) 5 of the Act, in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5)
of the Act,6 in particular in that it is
designed to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to foster cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged
in regulating, clearing, settling,
processing information with respect to,
and facilitating transactions in
securities, 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 and is
not designed to permit unfair
discrimination between customers,
issuers, brokers, or dealers. The
Exchange believes that the proposed
amendment is not unfairly
discriminatory, as all companies listed
on or after October 1, 2017 will continue
to be eligible to avail themselves of the
same services offering with the
exception of the corporate governance
tools offering which will be
discontinued. It is not unfairly
discriminatory to continue to offer
corporate governance tools to
companies listed prior to October 1,
new shares in the absence of a public offering), and
carve-out (where a company carves out a business
line or division, which then conducts a separate
initial public offering).

2017, as that benefit was part of the
services offering that was available at
the time of those companies’ initial
listing and may have had some
influence over their listing decisions.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange believes that the
proposed amendments to the Company
Guide do not impose any burden on
competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. The proposed rule
change does not impose any burden on
competition, as all companies whose
initial listing occurs on or after October
1, 2017 will be eligible for an identical
services offering with the exception of
the discontinued corporate governance
tools.
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
Within 45 days of the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register or up to 90 days (i) as the
Commission may designate if it finds
such longer period to be appropriate
and publishes its reasons for so finding
or (ii) as to which the self-regulatory
organization consents, the Commission
will:
(A) By order approve or disapprove
the proposed rule change, or
(B) institute proceedings to determine
whether the proposed rule change
should be disapproved.
IV. Solicitation of Comments
Interested persons are invited to
submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing,
including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act.

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the
‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for
extension and approval.
Under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) (the
‘‘Investment Company Act’’), certain
investment companies can elect to be
regulated as business development
companies, as defined in Section
2(a)(48) of the Investment Company Act
(15 U.S.C. 80a–2(a)(48)). Under Section
54(a) of the Investment Company Act
(15 U.S.C. 80a–53(a)), any company
defined in Section 2(a)(48)(A) and (B)
may elect to be subject to the provisions
of Sections 55 through 65 of the
Investment Company Act (15 U.S.C.
80a–54 to 80a–64) by filing with the
Commission a notification of election, if
such company has: (1) A class of equity
securities registered under Section 12 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (‘‘Exchange Act’’); or
(2) filed a registration statement
pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange
Act for a class of equity securities. The
Commission has adopted Form N–54A
(17 CFR 274.53) as the form for
notification of election to be regulated
as business development companies.
The purpose of Form N–54A is to
notify the Commission that the
investment company making the
notification elects to be subject to
Sections 55 through 65 of the
Investment Company Act, enabling the
Commission to administer those
provisions of the Investment Company
Act to such companies.
The Commission estimates that on
average approximately 12 business
development companies file these
notifications each year. Each of those
business development companies need
only make a single filing of Form N–
54A. The Commission further estimates
that this information collection imposes
a burden of 0.5 hours, resulting in a
total annual PRA burden of 6 hours.
Based on the estimated wage rate, the
total cost to the business development
company industry of the hour burden
for complying with Form N–54A would
be approximately $2,070.
The collection of information under
Form N–54A is mandatory. The
information provided under the form is
not kept confidential. An agency may
not conduct or sponsor, and a person is
not required to respond to, a collection
PO 00000

of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the collection of
information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including
through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology. Consideration will be given
to comments and suggestions submitted
in writing within 60 days of this
publication.
Please direct your written comments

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to amend Section 146 of the NYSE American
Company Guide (the ``Company Guide'') to provide that companies
initially listed on or after October 1, 2017 will not be eligible to
receive corporate governance tools under the Exchange's services
offering. 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
The Exchange proposes to amend Section 146 of the Company Guide to
provide that companies initially listed on or after October 1, 2017
will not be eligible to receive corporate governance tools under the
Exchange's services offering.
As set forth in Section 146, the Exchange currently provides
Eligible New Listings \4\ with complimentary Web-hosting products and
services (with a commercial value of approximately $16,000 annually),
web-casting services (with a commercial value of approximately $6,500
annually), whistleblower hotline services (with a commercial value of
approximately $4,000 annually), and news distribution products and
services (with a commercial value of approximately $20,000 annually)
and corporate governance tools (with a commercial value of
approximately $15,000 annually) for a period of 24 calendar months. The
Exchange's experience has been that companies that qualify as Eligible
New Listings have generally not been interested in availing themselves
of the corporate governance tools available as part of the services
offering. As such the Exchange has decided to discontinue the corporate
governance tool portion of its service offering for companies that list
on or after October 1, 2017. Any company that is listed prior to
October 1, 2017 will continue to be able to access corporate governance
tools to the extent that they are eligible to do so under Section 146
as currently in effect.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ For the purposes of Section 146, the term ``Eligible New
Listing'' means (i) any U.S. company that lists common stock on the
Exchange for the first time and any non-U.S. company that lists an
equity security on the Exchange under Section 101 or 110 of the
Company Guide for the first time, regardless of whether such U.S. or
non-U.S. company conducts an offering, (ii) any U.S. or non-U.S.
company that transfers its listing of common stock or equity
securities, respectively, to the Exchange from another national
securities exchange and (iii) any U.S. or non-U.S. company emerging
from a bankruptcy, spinoff (where a company lists new shares in the
absence of a public offering), and carve-out (where a company carves
out a business line or division, which then conducts a separate
initial public offering).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) \5\ of the Act, in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\6\ in particular in that it
is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to
foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating,
clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities, 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
and is not designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers,
issuers, brokers, or dealers. The Exchange believes that the proposed
amendment is not unfairly discriminatory, as all companies listed on or
after October 1, 2017 will continue to be eligible to avail themselves
of the same services offering with the exception of the corporate
governance tools offering which will be discontinued. It is not
unfairly discriminatory to continue to offer corporate governance tools
to companies listed prior to October 1, 2017, as that benefit was part
of the services offering that was available at the time of those
companies' initial listing and may have had some influence over their

eligible for an identical services offering with the exception of the
discontinued corporate governance tools.
