Exchange LLC, the NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC, Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc., 
and other affiliated entities (collectively, the ``petitioners'') 
filed petitions in the United States Court of Appeals for the 
District of Columbia Circuit (``Court of Appeals'') to review the 
validity of Rule 610T. Petitioners also filed with the Commission

their petitions for review. On March 28, 2019, the Commission issued 
an order granting, in part, petitioners' motions for a stay of Rule 
610T pending a decision by the Court of Appeals and further order of 
the Commission. That order stayed the Pilot and post-Pilot periods 
identified in Rule 610T(c)(1)(ii) and (iii) in their entirety, 
stayed the pre-Pilot period's data-reporting and public disclosure 
requirements, see Rule 610T(d), but provided that the remainder of 
Rule 610T--including the pre-Pilot period identified in Rule 
610T(c)(i)(1)--otherwise would become effective in the ordinary 
course and on further notice by the Commission. See In the Matter of

    2. December 31, 2019 as the pre-Pilot period's termination date.
    During the pre-Pilot period, national securities exchanges subject 
to Rule 610T are required to comply with the data compilation 
requirements of Rule 610T(d) and (e).\4\ However, pursuant to the 
Commission's Partial Stay Order of March 28, 2019, pending a decision 
by the Court of Appeals regarding the petitions to review Rule 610T's 
validity and further order of the Commission, these exchanges will not 
be required to transmit order routing data to the Commission, or to 
publicly post Exchange Transaction Fee Summaries.\5\

the Partial Stay Order, however, exchanges subject to Rule 610T may 
transmit pre-Pilot data to Commission staff on a voluntary basis for 
quality control purposes during the pendency of the stay. See 
Partial Stay Order at 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Following a decision by the Court of Appeals regarding the 
petitions for review, the Commission may issue further notices in 
accordance with Rule 610T(b)(1) and (c)(2).\6\
