represents the Thirty-First Substantive
Amendment to the CTA Plan
(‘‘Amendment’’). Under the
Amendment, the Participants propose to
amend the Plan to align provisions
governing the reporting of last sale
prices in an Eligible Security 6 by the
Processor 7 during a Regulatory Halt 8
with corresponding provisions under
the Nasdaq/UTP Plan.9 The Participants
also propose a non-substantive
amendment to update cross references
to the rules of NYSE and NYSE
American in Section XI(a) of the Plan.
The proposed Amendment has been
filed by the Participants pursuant to
Rule 608(b)(2) under Regulation NMS.10
The Commission is publishing this
notice to solicit comments from
interested persons on the proposed
Amendment. Set forth in Sections I and
II is the statement of the purpose and
summary of the Amendment, along with
the information required by Rules 608(a)
and 601(a) under the Act, prepared and
6 Section VII(a) of the CTA Plan provides, in part,
that the term ‘‘Eligible Securities’’ shall mean ‘‘(i)
NYSE and AMEX. Any common stock, long-term
warrant or preferred stock registered or admitted to
unlisted trading privileges on the NYSE or the
AMEX on April 30, 1976; (ii) Other exchanges. Any
common stock, long-term warrant or preferred stock
registered or admitted to unlisted trading privileges
on any other exchange which, on April 30, 1976,
substantially met the original listing requirements
of the NYSE or the AMEX for such securities; (iii)
New listings. After April 30, 1976, any common
stock, long-term warrant or preferred stock which
becomes registered on any exchange or is admitted
to unlisted trading privileges thereon and which at
the time of such registration or at the
commencement of such trading substantially meets
the original listing requirements of the NYSE or the
AMEX for such securities, as the same may be
amended from time to time; (iv) Rights. Any right
admitted to trading on an exchange which entitles
the holder thereof to purchase or acquire a share or
shares of an Eligible Security, provided that both
the right and the Eligible Security to the holders of
which the right is granted are admitted to trading
on the same exchange.’’
7 The term ‘‘Processor’’ is defined in Section I(x)
of the CTA Plan as ‘‘the organization designated as
recipient and processor of last sale price
information furnished by Participants pursuant to
this CTA Plan, as Section V describes.’’
8 A ‘‘Regulatory Halt’’ is defined in Section Xl(a)
of the CTA Plan as a halt or suspension of trading
in an Eligible Security by a listing market ‘‘because
such listing market has determined (i) that there are
matters relating to such Security or the issuer
thereof which have not been adequately disclosed
to the public, or (ii) that there are regulatory
problems relating to such Security which should be
clarified before trading therein is permitted to
continue.’’
9 The Joint Self-Regulatory Organization Plan
Governing the Collection, Consolidation and
Dissemination of Quotation and Transaction
Information for NASDAQ-Listed Securities Traded
on Exchanges on an Unlisted Trading Privilege
Basis (the ‘‘Nasdaq/UTP Plan’’) governs the
collection, consolidation, processing, and
dissemination of last sale and quotation information
for Network C securities.

submitted by the Participants to the
Commission.
I. Rule 608(a)
A. Purpose of the Amendment
Section XI(a) of the Plan currently
prohibits the Processor from including
any reports of last sale prices in an
Eligible Security during a Regulatory
Halt, even if the Processor receives a
report due to a race condition or a late
print where the trade occurred prior to
the Regulatory Halt. The Processor only
disseminates these reports of last sale
prices after the Regulatory Halt is lifted
or after the close of the market. In
particular, when a primary market
initiates a Regulatory Halt, it sends
notifications to the Processor and other
Participants. A trade may occur at a
Participant before that Participant
receives notification of the Regulatory
Halt while a report of the trade is made
to the Processor after the Processor
receives notification of the Regulatory
Halt. This race condition currently
results in a transaction occurring at a
Participant while the Processor delays
the dissemination of the trade report.
With respect to the UTP Plan, the
Processor will immediately disseminate
such reports of last sale prices that
occurred prior to the Regulatory Halt
but received by the Processor after the
Regulatory Halt. The Participants, in
consultation with the Advisory
Committee, have deemed it appropriate
to align the operation of the Plan with
the operation of the UTP Plan. As a
result, the Participants are amending the
language of the Plan to permit the
dissemination of reports of last sale
prices during a Regulatory Halt.
In addition, while the primary aim of
this Amendment is to address situations
associated with the race condition
described above, it would be impractical
for the Processor to determine that a
transaction occurred either before or
after a Participant received notification
of a Regulatory Halt, and therefore
whether to immediately disseminate or
refrain from disseminating the trade
report until permissible. Consequently,
the Participants believe that it is
appropriate to place the responsibility
on the individual Participants to
determine whether or not a transaction
should be printed during a Regulatory
Halt, and the Processor should simply
act as a pass-through for the information
that it receives from the Participants.
Therefore, the Amendment will permit
the Processor to disseminate any reports
of last sale prices received during a
Regulatory Halt, without reference to
the specific race condition identified
above.

28JAN1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 18 / Tuesday, January 28, 2020 / Notices
The Participants also proposes a nonsubstantive amendment to update cross
references to the rules of NYSE and
NYSE American in Section XI.(a) of the
Plan. Currently, the Plan refers to NYSE
Rule 123D and AMEX Rule 119 as the
rules that set forth those exchange’s
reopening procedures. The Participants
propose to update those references to
NYSE Rule 7.35 Series and NYSE
American Rule 7.35E, which are the
operative rules of those respective
exchanges relating to reopening
procedures.11
B. Governing or Constituent Documents
C. Implementation of Amendment
Each of the Participants has approved
the amendments in accordance with
Section IV(b) of the CTA Plan and
Section IV(c) of the CQ Plan, as
applicable. The Participants also
received feedback from the Advisory
Committee on aligning the operation of
the Plan with the UTP Plan.
D. Development and Implementation
Phases
Not applicable.
The Participants believe that the
proposed amendments do not impose
any burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the ‘‘Act’’). The
Participants believe that aligning the
operation of the Plan with the UTP Plan
with respect to dissemination of
information during Regulatory Halts
reduces inefficiencies and confusion
among market participants with respect
to the operation of the Plan and the UTP
Plan during a Regulatory Halt.
Additionally, the Participants believe
that the amendment will serve to
increase transparency in the
marketplace by disseminating reports of
last sale prices closer in time to when
such transactions actually occurred.

Section XI(a) of the Plan currently prohibits the Processor from
including any reports of last sale prices in an Eligible Security
during a Regulatory Halt, even if the Processor receives a report due
to a race condition or a late print where the trade occurred prior to
the Regulatory Halt. The Processor only disseminates these reports of
last sale prices after the Regulatory Halt is lifted or after the close

Regulatory Halt, it sends notifications to the Processor and other
Participants. A trade may occur at a Participant before that
Participant receives notification of the Regulatory Halt while a report
of the trade is made to the Processor after the Processor receives
notification of the Regulatory Halt. This race condition currently
results in a transaction occurring at a Participant while the Processor
delays the dissemination of the trade report.
With respect to the UTP Plan, the Processor will immediately
disseminate such reports of last sale prices that occurred prior to the
Regulatory Halt but received by the Processor after the Regulatory

permit the Processor to disseminate any reports of last sale prices
received during a Regulatory Halt, without reference to the specific
race condition identified above.

The Participants also proposes a non-substantive amendment to
update cross references to the rules of NYSE and NYSE American in
Section XI.(a) of the Plan. Currently, the Plan refers to NYSE Rule
123D and AMEX Rule 119 as the rules that set forth those exchange's
