(Release No. 34–90661; File No. SR–NYSE–

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New
York Stock Exchange LLC; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of
Proposed Rule Change To Amend Its
Price List
December 14, 2020.
Pursuant to the provisions of Section

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
The purpose of this filing is to
provide additional time for member
organizations to transition from older to
newer and more efficient Pillar
technology. The Exchange is not
proposing to adjust the amount of the
port fees or the fees charged to offset the
Exchange’s continuing costs of
supporting legacy ports, which will
remain at the current level for all market
participants.
Effective July 3, 2019, the Exchange
introduced transition pricing designed
to provide member organizations an
extended transition period to connect to
the Exchange using Pillar technology
with no fee increase. Specifically, the
Exchange (1) adopted a cap on monthly
fees for the use of certain ports
connecting to the Exchange for the
billing months July 2019 through March
2020 (the ‘‘Transition Period’’); (2)
adopted a Decommission Extension Fee
applicable for the billing months April
2020 through September 2020 (the
‘‘Decommission Period’’) for legacy port
connections; and (3) prorated the
monthly fee for certain ports activated
after July 1, 2019, effective April 1,
2020.3
Effective March 2, 2020, the Exchange
(1) extended the end of the Transition
Period from March 2020 to August 2020
for member organizations to transition
to the utilization of ports that connect
to the Exchange using Pillar technology;
(2) shortened the Decommission Period
from six months (April 2020-September
2020) to four months (September–
December 2020); (3) extended the
effective date that the Exchange would
prorate the monthly fee for certain ports
activated on or after July 1, 2019 from
April 1, 2020 to September 1, 2020; and
(4) revised the fees charged for legacy
port connections during the
Decommission Period.4
Effective August 1, 2020, the
Exchange (1) extended the end of the
Transition Period from August 2020 to

(July 11, 2019), 84 FR 34210 (July 17, 2019) (SR–

October 2020; (2) extended the
beginning of the Decommission Period
from September 2020 to November 2020
and the end of the Decommission Period
from December 2020 to February 2021;
and (3) extended the effective date that
the Exchange would prorate the
monthly fee for ports activated on or
after July 1, 2019 from September 1,
2020 to November 1, 2020.5
Effective October 1, 2020, the
Exchange (1) extended the end of the
Transition Period from October 2020 to
December 2020; (2) extended the
beginning of the Decommission Period
from November 2020 to January 2021
and the end of the Decommission Period
from February 2021 to April 2021; and
(3) extended the effective date that the
Exchange would prorate the monthly fee
for ports activated on or after July 1,
2019 from November 1, 2020 to January
1, 2021.6
The Exchange proposes to:
• Extend the end of the Transition
Period from December 2020 to February
2021;
• extend the beginning of the
Decommission Period from January
2021 to March 2021 and the end of the
Decommission Period from April 2021
to June 2021; and
• extend the effective date that the
Exchange would prorate the monthly fee
for ports activated on or after July 1,
2019 from January 1, 2021 to March 1,
2021.
The Exchange would continue to
provide a cap on how much member
organizations would be charged for
ports during the proposed extra two
months of the Transition Period so that
they would not incur additional charges
during the transition to Pillar
communication protocols. Moreover,
the Exchange would retain a four month
period during which the few firms that
do not transition during the proposed
longer Transition Period would be
charged fees to offset the Exchange’s
continuing costs of supporting legacy
ports but proposes to extend the
beginning and end dates for this period.
The Exchange proposes to implement
these changes to its Price List effective
December 1, 2020.
Competitive Environment
The Exchange operates in a highly
competitive market. The Commission
has repeatedly expressed its preference
for competition over regulatory
intervention in determining prices,
