[Federal Register Volume 82, Number 217 (Monday, November 13, 2017)] [Notices] [Pages 52344-52345] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 2017-24438] [[Page 52344]] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION [Release No. 34-82018; File No. SR-NYSE-2017-55] Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend Its Price List Relating to Co-Location Services To Reflect the Name Change of a Third Party Data Feed November 6, 2017. Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby given that, on October 25, 2017, New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'' or the ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ 15 U.S.C.78s(b)(1). \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78a. \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The Exchange proposes to amend its Price List relating to co- location services to reflect the name change of a third party data feed. The Exchange proposes to implement the proposed change on November 1, 2017. 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 its Price List relating to co- location \4\ services to reflect the name change of a third party data feed. The Exchange proposes to implement the proposed change on November 1, 2017. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \4\ The Exchange initially filed rule changes relating to its co-location services with the Commission in 2010. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 62960 (September 21, 2010), 75 FR 59310 (September 27, 2010) (SR-NYSE-2010-56). The Exchange operates a data center in Mahwah, New Jersey (the ``data center'') from which it provides co-location services to Users. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The co-location services that the Exchange offers Users \5\ include connectivity to third party data feeds from third party markets and other content service providers (``Third Party Data Feeds'').\6\ The list of Third Party Data Feeds is set forth in the Price List, and includes the NYSE Global Index.\7\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \5\ For purposes of the Exchange's co-location services, a ``User'' means any market participant that requests to receive co- location services directly from the Exchange. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 76008 (September 29, 2015), 80 FR 60190 (October 5, 2015) (SR-NYSE-2015-40). As specified in the Price List, a User that incurs co-location fees for a particular co-location service pursuant thereto would not be subject to co-location fees for the same co-location service charged by the Exchange's affiliates NYSE American LLC (``NYSE American'') and NYSE Arca, Inc. (``NYSE Arca'' and, together with NYSE American, the ``Affiliate SROs''). See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 70206 (August 15, 2013), 78 FR 51765 (August 21, 2013) (SR-NYSE-2013-59). \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80311 (March 24, 2017), 82 FR 15741 (March 30, 2017) (SR-NYSE-2016-45). \7\ The NYSE Global Index feed includes index and exchange traded product valuations data, with data drawn from the Exchange, the Affiliate SROS, and third party exchanges. Because it includes third party data, the NYSE Global Index feed is considered a Third Party Data Feed. See id., at 15749. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The name of NYSE Global Index is changing to ``ICE Data Global Index.'' The Exchange accordingly proposes to amend the Price List to reflect the change. The Exchange does not propose to change the applicable monthly recurring connectivity fee. The Exchange proposes the following changes:In the third sentence under ``Connectivity to Third Party Data Feeds,'' the reference to ``NYSE Global Index'' would be changed to ``ICE Data Global Index.'' In the table under ``Connectivity to Third Party Data Feeds,'' the line listing ``NYSE Global Index'' and the related $100 monthly recurring connectivity fee would be deleted, and a new line added, as follows (additions italicized): ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monthly recurring connectivity fee Third Party Data Feed per Third Party Data Feed ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Global OTC........................................... $100 ICE Data Global Index................................ 100 ICE Data Services Consolidated Feed <= 100 Mb........ 200 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ General As is the case with all Exchange co-location arrangements, (i) neither a User nor any of the User's customers would be permitted to submit orders directly to the Exchange unless such User or customer is a member organization, a Sponsored Participant or an agent thereof (e.g., a service bureau providing order entry services); (ii) use of the co-location services proposed herein would be completely voluntary and available to all Users on a non-discriminatory basis; \8\ and (iii) a User would only incur one charge for the particular co-location service described herein, regardless of whether the User connects only to the Exchange or to the Exchange and one or both the Affiliate SROs.\9\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \8\ As is currently the case, Users that receive co-location services from the Exchange will not receive any means of access to the Exchange's trading and execution systems that is separate from, or superior to, that of other Users. In this regard, all orders sent to the Exchange enter the Exchange's trading and execution systems through the same order gateway, regardless of whether the sender is co-located in the data center or not. In addition, co-located Users do not receive any market data or data service product that is not available to all Users, although Users that receive co-location services normally would expect reduced latencies in sending orders to, and receiving market data from, the Exchange. \9\ See SR-NYSE-2013-59, supra note 5 at 51766. The Affiliate SROs have also submitted substantially the same proposed rule change to propose the changes described herein. See SR-NYSEAmer-2017-28 and SR-NYSEArca-2017-124. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The proposed change is not otherwise intended to address any other issues relating to co-location services and/or related fees, and the Exchange is not aware of any problems that Users would have in complying with the proposed change. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,\10\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Sections 6(b)(5) of the Act,\11\ in particular, because it is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, 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, [[Page 52345]] and facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to, and perfect the mechanisms of, a free and open market and a national market system and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The non-substantive change proposed is intended solely to reflect the name change of ``NYSE Global Index'' to ``ICE Data Global Index.'' The proposed rule change, therefore would remove impediments to, and perfect the mechanisms of, a free and open market and a national market system and, in general, protect investors and the public interest because it would update the Price List to reflect the name change, increasing the clarity and transparency of the Exchange's rules. For the reasons above, the proposed changes would not unfairly discriminate between or among market participants that are otherwise capable of satisfying any applicable co-location fees, requirements, terms and conditions established from time to time by the Exchange. For these reasons, the Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with the Act. B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition In accordance with Section 6(b)(8) of the Act,\12\ the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change will not impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act because it is solely intended to reflect the name change of ``NYSE Global Index'' to ``ICE Data Global Index.'' No other change is proposed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(8). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 The foregoing rule change is effective upon filing pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) \13\ of the Act and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4 \14\ thereunder, because it establishes a due, fee, or other charge imposed by the Exchange. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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 under Section 19(b)(2)(B) \15\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or disapproved. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- IV.
