Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) 1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 2 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,3 notice is hereby given that, on September 7, 2021, NYSE Arca, Inc. (‘‘NYSE Arca’’ 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 selfregulatory 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 delete the Order Audit Trail System (‘‘OATS’’) 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). U.S.C. 78a. 3 17 CFR 240.19b–4. 2 15 VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:49 Sep 17, 2021 Jkt 253001 rules in the Rule 6.7400–E Series as these Rules provide for the collection of information that is duplicative of the data collection requirements of the CAT. Further, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (‘‘FINRA’’) has determined to eliminate its OATS rules. 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. 1. Purpose Rule 613 of Regulation NMS requires national securities exchanges and FINRA to create, implement, and maintain a consolidated audit trail to capture customer and order event information for orders in NMS Securities and OTC Equity Securities, across all markets, from the time of order inception through routing, cancellation, modification, or execution in a single consolidated data source. The Participants filed the Plan to comply with Rule 613 of Regulation NMS under the Act. The Plan was published for comment in the Federal Register on May 17, 2016,4 and approved by the Commission, as modified, on November 15, 2016.5 On August 14, 2020, FINRA filed with the Commission a proposed rule change to delete the OATS rules once Industry Members are effectively reporting to the CAT (the ‘‘OATS Retirement Filing’’).6 On October 29, 2020, FINRA filed 4 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 77724 (April 27, 2016), 81 FR 30614 (May 17, 2016). 5 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 79318 (November 15, 2016), 81 FR 84696 (November 23, 2016) (‘‘Order Approving the National Market System Plan Governing the Consolidated Audit Trail’’) (‘‘Approval Order’’). 6 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 89679 (August 26, 2020), 85 FR 54461 (September 1, 2020) (Notice of Filing of File No. SR–FINRA–2020–024). PO 00000 Frm 00103 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 52225 Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change (‘‘Amendment No. 1’’) and a response to the comments that were submitted on the original filing (‘‘Response to Comments’’).7 On November 30, 2020, the Commission approved the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, on an accelerated basis.8 On June 17, 2021, FINRA filed a proposed rule change setting forth the basis for its determination that the accuracy and reliability of the CAT meet the standards approved by the Commission in the OATS Retirement Filing for purposes of eliminating the OATS rules.9 The FINRA proposal stated that FINRA would retire OATS effective September 1, 2021. After conducting an analysis of its rules in accordance with the CAT NMS Plan, the Exchange has determined that the information collected pursuant to the OATS rules is intended to be collected by CAT. Further, the Exchange believes that the Rule 6.7400–E Series will no longer be necessary and proposes to delete such rules from the Exchange’s rulebook. Discussed below is a description of the duplicative rule requirements as well as the timeline for eliminating the duplicative rules followed by a discussion on the OATS Retirement Filing that formed the basis for retiring OATS. Duplicative OATS Requirements The Rule 6.7400–E Series consists of Rules 6.7410–E through 6.7470–E and sets forth the recording and reporting requirements of the OATS Rules. The OATS Rules require all Exchange members and associated persons to record in electronic form and report to FINRA, on a daily basis, certain information with respect to orders originated, received, transmitted, modified, canceled, or executed by members in all NMS stocks, as that term is defined in Rule 600(b)(47) of Regulation NMS,10 traded on the Exchange. The Exchange relies on the information reported to OATS either to conduct surveillance or to facilitate surveillance conducted by FINRA 7 See Letter from Lisa C. Horrigan, Associate General Counsel, FINRA, to Vanessa Countryman, Secretary, Commission, dated October 29, 2020. 8 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 90535 (November 30, 2020), 85 FR 78395 (December 4, 2020) (Notice of Filing of Amendment No. 1 and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of SR– FINRA–2020–024). 9 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 92239 (June 23, 2021), 86 FR 34293 (June 29, 2021) (SR– FINRA–2021–017) (Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change Relating to the Retirement of FINRA’s Order Audit Trail System). 10 17 CFR 242.600(B)(47).
