(‘‘NYSE National’’ or the ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. 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 Rule 7.37 to update the Exchange’s source of data feeds from NYSE American LLC (‘‘NYSE American’’) for purposes of order handling, order execution, order routing, and regulatory compliance. The proposed rule change is available on the Exchange’s website 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 18 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12).

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 Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose The Exchange proposes to update and amend the use of data feeds table in Rule 7.37, which sets forth on a marketby-market basis the specific securities information processor and proprietary data feeds that the Exchange utilizes for the handling, execution, and routing of orders, and for performing the regulatory compliance checks related to each of those functions. Specifically, the table would be amended to reflect that the Exchange will receive a direct feed from NYSE American as its primary source of data for order handling, order execution, order routing, and regulatory compliance. Rule 7.37 currently provides that the Exchange will utilize the securities information processor (‘‘SIP’’) data feed as its primary source for the handling, execution, and routing of orders, as well as for regulatory compliance. In connection with NYSE American’s elimination of its delay mechanism,3 the Exchange will begin using a direct feed from NYSE American as its primary data feed. To reflect this change, the Exchange proposes to amend the table in Rule 7.37(d) to specify that it will use a direct feed from NYSE American, rather than the SIP data feed, as the primary source for that market, and that the Exchange would use the SIP data feed as a secondary source for that market. The Exchange will implement this change on the same date that NYSE American eliminates its delay mechanism, which, subject to effectiveness of proposed rule changes, will be implemented in November 2019. The Exchange will announce this date via Trader Update. jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES 2. Statutory Basis The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ‘‘Act’’),4 in general, and furthers the 3 See SR–NYSEAmer–2019–48 (NYSE American proposal to eliminate its delay mechanism, which was filed on November 4, 2019). 4 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:10 Nov 29, 2019 Jkt 250001 objectives of Section 6(b)(5),5 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 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. The Exchange believes its proposal to amend the table in Rule 7.37(d) to update the data feed source for NYSE American will ensure that Rule 7.37 correctly identifies and publicly states on a market-by-market basis all of the specific securities information processor and proprietary data feeds that the Exchange utilizes for the handling, execution, and routing of orders, and for performing the regulatory compliance checks for each of those functions. The proposed rule change also removes impediments to and perfects the mechanism of a free and open market and protects investors and the public interest by providing additional specificity, clarity, and transparency in the Exchange’s rules. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed change is not designed to address any competitive issue, but rather would provide the public and investors with up-to-date information about which data feeds the Exchange uses for the handling, execution, and routing of orders, as well as for regulatory compliance. 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 Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, if 5 15 PO 00000 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). Frm 00079 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 66043 consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 6 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.7 A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 8 normally does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii),9 the Commission may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposed rule change may become operative immediately. The Exchange states that such waiver is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest because NYSE American intends to eliminate the above-described delay mechanism in fewer than 30 days, and thus, the Exchange believes that waiver of the operative delay would allow NYSE National to immediately provide enhanced transparency in its rules regarding the data feed it intends to utilize for NYSE American, once NYSE American eliminates its delay mechanism. Based on the foregoing, the Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest in that is allows the Exchange to begin using the direct data feed from NYSE American at the same time that NYSE American eliminates its delay mechanism. For this reason, the Commission hereby waives the 30-day operative delay and designates the proposal operative upon filing.10 At any time within 60 days of the filing of the 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.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 7.37 to update the Exchange's 
source of data feeds from NYSE American LLC (``NYSE American'') for 
purposes of order handling, order execution, order routing, and 
regulatory compliance. The proposed rule change is available on the 
Exchange's website 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

[[Page 66043]]

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 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to update and amend the use of data feeds 
table in Rule 7.37, which sets forth on a market-by-market basis the 
specific securities information processor and proprietary data feeds 
that the Exchange utilizes for the handling, execution, and routing of 
orders, and for performing the regulatory compliance checks related to 
each of those functions. Specifically, the table would be amended to 
reflect that the Exchange will receive a direct feed from NYSE American 
as its primary source of data for order handling, order execution, 
order routing, and regulatory compliance.
    Rule 7.37 currently provides that the Exchange will utilize the 
securities information processor (``SIP'') data feed as its primary 
source for the handling, execution, and routing of orders, as well as 
for regulatory compliance. In connection with NYSE American's 
elimination of its delay mechanism,\3\ the Exchange will begin using a 
direct feed from NYSE American as its primary data feed. To reflect 
this change, the Exchange proposes to amend the table in Rule 7.37(d) 
to specify that it will use a direct feed from NYSE American, rather 
than the SIP data feed, as the primary source for that market, and that 
the Exchange would use the SIP data feed as a secondary source for that 
market.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See SR-NYSEAmer-2019-48 (NYSE American proposal to eliminate 
its delay mechanism, which was filed on November 4, 2019).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange will implement this change on the same date that NYSE 
American eliminates its delay mechanism, which, subject to 
effectiveness of proposed rule changes, will be implemented in November 
2019. The Exchange will announce this date via Trader Update.
2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act''),\4\ in general, and 
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5),\5\ 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 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. The Exchange 
believes its proposal to amend the table in Rule 7.37(d) to update the 
data feed source for NYSE American will ensure that Rule 7.37 correctly 
identifies and publicly states on a market-by-market basis all of the 
specific securities information processor and proprietary data feeds 
that the Exchange utilizes for the handling, execution, and routing of 
orders, and for performing the regulatory compliance checks for each of 
those functions. The proposed rule change also removes impediments to 
and perfects the mechanism of a free and open market and protects 
investors and the public interest by providing additional specificity, 
clarity, and transparency in the Exchange's rules.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will 
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate 
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed change is not 
designed to address any competitive issue, but rather would provide the 
public and investors with up-to-date information about which data feeds 
the Exchange uses for the handling, execution, and routing of orders, 
as well as for regulatory compliance.

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

    Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect 
the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any 
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30 
days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the 
Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of 
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become 
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \6\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\7\

    \7\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) 
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the 
Exchange's intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a 
brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at least 
five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule 
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The 
Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \8\ normally 
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the 
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\9\ the Commission 
may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the 
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked 
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposed 
rule change may become operative immediately. The Exchange states that 
such waiver is consistent with the protection of investors and the 
public interest because NYSE American intends to eliminate the above-
described delay mechanism in fewer than 30 days, and thus, the Exchange 
believes that waiver of the operative delay would allow NYSE National 
to immediately provide enhanced transparency in its rules regarding the 
data feed it intends to utilize for NYSE American, once NYSE American 
eliminates its delay mechanism. Based on the foregoing, the Commission 
believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the 
protection of investors and the public interest in that is allows the 
Exchange to begin using the direct data feed from NYSE American at the 
same time that NYSE American eliminates its delay mechanism. For this 
reason, the Commission hereby waives the 30-day operative delay and 
designates the proposal operative upon filing.\10\

    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).

the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on 
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule 
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule 
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
