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 SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION 1 15 Central Registration Depository (‘‘CRD’’ or ‘‘CRD system’’), which are collected by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (‘‘FINRA’’). The Exchange proposes to implement the fee change on January 12, 2023. 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 The Exchange proposes to amend the Fee Schedule with respect to certain regulatory fees collected by FINRA for use of CRD.4 The Exchange proposes to implement the fee changes effective January 12, 2023.5 FINRA collects and retains certain regulatory fees via CRD for the registration of associated persons of Exchange ATP Holders that are not FINRA members (‘‘Non-FINRA ATP Holders’’).6 CRD fees are user-based, 4 CRD is the central licensing and registration system for the U.S. securities industry. The CRD system enables individuals and firms seeking registration with multiple states and self-regulatory organizations to do so by submitting a single form, fingerprint card, and a combined payment of fees to FINRA. Through the CRD system, FINRA maintains the qualification, employment, and disciplinary histories of registered associated persons of broker-dealers. 5 The Exchange originally filed to amend the Price List on January 3, 2023 (SR–NYSEAmer– 2023–02). On January 12, 2023, SR–NYSEAmer– 2023–02 was withdrawn and replaced by this filing. 6 The Exchange originally adopted fees for use of the CRD system in 2003 and amended those fees in 2013 and 2022. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 48066 (June 19, 2003), 68 FR 38409 (June 27, 2003) (SR–Amex–2003–49); Securities Exchange Act Release No. 68589 (January 4, 2013), 78 FR 2465 (January 11, 2013) (SR–NYSEMKT–2012–89); Securities Exchange Act Release No. 93901 (January 5, 2022), 87 FR 1453 (January 11, 2022) (SR– NYSEAmer–2021–48). While the Exchange lists these fees in its Fee Schedule, it does not collect or retain these fees. PO 00000 Frm 00059 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 4857 and there is no distinction in the cost incurred by FINRA if the user is a FINRA member or a Non-FINRA ATP Holders. FINRA recently amended two of the fees assessed for use of the CRD system.7 Accordingly, the Exchange proposes to amend the Fee Schedule to mirror the fees assessed by FINRA, which will be implemented concurrently with the amended FINRA fee as of January 2023.8 Specifically, the Exchange proposes to amend the Fee Schedule to modify the fee charged to Non-FINRA ATP Holders for additional processing of each initial or amended Form U4, Form U5 or Form BD that includes the initial reporting, amendment, or certification of one or more disclosure events or proceedings from $110 to $155 9 and the fee for processing and posting to the CRD system each set of fingerprints submitted electronically to FINRA, plus any other charge that may be imposed by the U.S. Department of Justice for processing each set of fingerprints, from $15 to $20.10 The Exchange notes that the proposed change is not otherwise intended to address any other issues surrounding regulatory fees, and the Exchange is not aware of any problems that ATP Holders would have in complying with the proposed change. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,11 in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) 12 of the Act, in particular, in that it is designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges. The Exchange also believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,13 in that it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and 7 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 90176 (October 14, 2020), 85 FR 66592 (October 20, 2020) (SR–FINRA–2020–032). 8 The Exchange notes that it has only adopted the CRD system fees charged by FINRA to Non-FINRA ATP Holders when such fees are applicable. In this regard, certain FINRA CRD system fees and requirements are specific to FINRA members, but do not apply to NYSE American-only ATP Holders. Non-FINRA ATP Holders have been charged CRD system fees since 2003. See note 5, supra. ATP Holders that are also FINRA members are charged CRD system fees according to Section 4 of Schedule A to the FINRA By-Laws. 9 See Section (4)(b)(3) of Schedule A to the FINRA By-laws. 10 See Section (4)(b)(4) of Schedule A to the FINRA By-laws. 11 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). 12 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4). 13 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
