Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE
Arca, Inc.; Notice of Filing and
Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed
Rule Change To Amend Rule 7.37–E To
Specify the Exchange’s Source of Data
Feeds From the Long-Term Stock
Exchange, Inc.
April 9, 2020.
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 April 6,
2020, NYSE Arca, Inc. (‘‘NYSE Arca’’ or
the ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(the ‘‘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.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to amend
Rule 7.37–E to update the Exchange’s
source of data feeds from the Long-Term
Stock Exchange, Inc. (‘‘LTSE’’) 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
and discussed any comments it received

The Exchange has prepared summaries,

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–E, which sets forth on a
market-by-market basis the specific
securities information processor (‘‘SIP’’)
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 Exchange
proposes to amend the table in Rule
7.37–E(d) to specify that, with respect to
the LTSE, the Exchange will receive the
SIP feed as its primary source of data for
order handling, order execution, order
routing, and regulatory compliance. The
Exchange will not have a secondary
source for data from LTSE.
The Exchange proposes that this
proposed rule change would be
operative on the day that LTSE launches
operations as an equities exchange,
which is currently scheduled for May
15, 2020.4
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
2. Statutory Basis
The proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,5
in general, and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(5),6 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–E(d) to update the data feed source
for LTSE will ensure that Rule 7.37–E
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
market participants with up-to-date
information about the data feeds the
Exchange will use 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
The Exchange has filed the proposed
rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 7 and Rule
19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.8 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 9 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6)
thereunder.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

to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief
description and text of 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 certain
changes and corrections to the NYSE
Rule 9000 Series (Code of Procedure), as
follows.
Proposed Rule Change
In 2013, the Commission approved
the Exchange’s adoption of the Rule
8000 (Investigations and Sanctions) and
Rule 9000 Series relating to
investigation, discipline, sanction, and
other procedural rules modeled on the
rules of the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority, Inc. (‘‘FINRA’’).4
The Exchange’s affiliates NYSE
American LLC (‘‘NYSE American’’),
NYSE National, Inc. (‘‘NYSE National’’),
and NYSE Arca, Inc. (‘‘NYSE Arca’’)
have since each adopted versions of the
Rule 8000 and Rule 9000 Series.5 The
Exchange proposes certain changes in
order to further harmonize its
disciplinary rules with the disciplinary
rules of its affiliates as well as to correct
inconsistencies in the Rule 9000 Series.
First, Rule 9110 (Application) sets
forth the types of proceedings to which
the Rule 9000 Series applies and
provides that, in performing the
functions under the Rule 9000 Series,
the Chief Regulatory Officer (‘‘CRO’’)
and Regulatory Staff shall function
independently of the commercial
interests of the Exchange and the
commercial interests of the member
organizations. In order to strengthen and

(March 5, 2013), 78 FR 15394 (March 11, 2013) (SR–
NYSE–2013–02).
5 In 2016, NYSE American adopted its Rule 8000
and Rule 9000 Series based on the NYSE and
FINRA Rule 8000 and Rule 9000 Series. See
Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 77241
(February 26, 2016), 81 FR 11311 (March 3, 2016)
(SR–NYSEMKT–2016–30). In 2018, the Commission
approved NYSE National’s adoption of the NYSE
National Rule 10.8000 and Rule 10.9000 Series
based on the NYSE American and FINRA Rule 8000
and Rule 9000 Series. See Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 83289 (May 17, 2018), 83 FR 23968
(May 23, 2018) (SR–NYSENat–2018–02). In 2019,
NYSE Arca adopted the NYSE Arca Rule 10.8000
and 10.9000 Series based on the NYSE American
Rule 8000 and Rule 9000 Series. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 85639 (April 12, 2019),

further safeguard the regulatory
independence of the Exchange’s CRO
and Regulatory Staff, the Exchange
proposes to add the following sentence
to the end of the subsection:
No member of the Board of Directors or
non-Regulatory Staff may interfere with or
attempt to influence the process or resolution
of any pending investigation or disciplinary
proceeding.
The proposed sentence is based on
the version of Rule 9110(a) adopted by
the Exchange’s affiliates NYSE Arca and
NYSE National, which contains an
identical sentence.6
Second, Rule 9120 (Definitions) sets
forth the definitions applicable to the
Rule 9000 Series. Under the definition
of ‘‘Interested Staff’’ in Rule
9120(t)(B)(iii), the Exchange would add
an ‘‘s’’ in parentheses after ‘‘supervise’’
to conform to NYSE Arca Rule
10.9120(t)(B)(iii).
Third, Rule 9268 (Decision of Hearing
Panel or Extended Hearing Panel) sets
forth the timing and contents of a
decision of a Hearing Panel or Extended
Hearing Panel and the procedures for a
dissenting opinion, service of the
decision, and requests for review.
Subsection (e)(2) provides that a
majority decision with respect to an
Exchange member that is an affiliate of
the Exchange shall constitute final
disciplinary action of the Exchange for
purposes of SEC Rule 19d–1(c)(1) and
may not be reviewed pursuant to Rule
9310, which governs review by the
Exchange’s Board of Directors.
In order to conform Rule 9268(e)(2)
with the changes proposed to Rule
9310(a) discussed below, and in order to
further harmonize the Exchange’s
disciplinary rules with its affiliates, the
Exchange proposes to delete the phrase
‘‘an Exchange member that is’’ before
‘‘an affiliate of the Exchange’’ and add
the phrase ‘‘as such term is defined in
Rule 12b–2 under the Exchange Act’’
after ‘‘an affiliate of the Exchange.’’
The proposed change would conform
Rule 9268(e)(2) with NYSE Arca Rule
10.9268(e)(2), which contains the phrase
‘‘an affiliate of the Exchange as such
term is defined in Rule 12b–2 under the
Exchange Act.’’ Utilizing the definition
of affiliate set forth in in Rule 12b–2
under the Exchange Act would not
diminish the current scope or
application of the Rule since the
proposed definition of affiliate would
continue to encompass member and
member organizations. Moreover, the
proposed change would add clarity and
transparency to the Exchange’s rules by
using a definition of affiliate in the

Rule 10.9110(a).

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 market participants with up-to-date information about the
data feeds the Exchange will use 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
The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\8\
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 \9\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\10\

\10\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \11\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
