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 the Price List and Fee Schedule related to co-location 4 services offered by the Exchange to amend two of the Partial Cabinet Solution (‘‘PCS’’) bundles that the Exchange offers Users.5 The proposed change would have the effect of lowering the latency in the Liquidity Center Network (‘‘LCN’’) connection included in two of the PCS bundles. This is not a fee filing: there is no proposed change to the fee for the PCS bundles. The Exchange plans to implement the change during the fourth quarter of 2019. It will announce the implementation date through a customer notice. Proposed Change to the Option C and Option D PCS Bundles There are four PCS bundles, Options A through D. Each PCS bundle option includes a partial cabinet; access to the LCN and internet protocol (‘‘IP’’) network, the local area networks available in the data center; two fiber cross connections; and connectivity to one of two time feeds.6 The PCS 4 The Exchange initially filed rule changes relating to its co-location services with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) in 2010. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 62961 (September 21, 2010), 75 FR 59299 (September 27, 2010) (SR–NYSEAmex-2010– 80). The Exchange operates a data center in Mahwah, New Jersey (the ‘‘data center’’) from which it provides co-location services to Users. 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. 76009 (September 29, 2015), 80 FR 60213 (October 5, 2015) (SR–NYSEMKT–2015–67). As specified in the Price List and Fee Schedule, a User that incurs co-location fees for a particular colocation service pursuant thereto would not be subject to co-location fees for the same co-location service charged by the Exchange’s affiliates New York Stock Exchange LLC (‘‘NYSE’’), NYSE Arca, Inc. (‘‘NYSE Arca’’) and NYSE National, Inc. (‘‘NYSE National’’ and together with NYSE, NYSE Arca, and NYSE Chicago, Inc., the ‘‘Affiliate SROs’’).
