I. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the
Proposed Rule Change

    The proposed rule change by OCC concerns the amendment and
restatement of OCC's Certificate of Incorporation to provide more
clarity, transparency, and consistency regarding OCC's Management
Director,\5\ Exchange Director, Public Director, and Member Director
requirements across OCC's governing documents. The proposed amendments
and restatement would be filed with the Secretary of the State of
Delaware in the form of an Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, which is included in Exhibit 5 to the proposed rule
change.\6\ All capitalized terms not defined herein have the same
meaning as set forth in the OCC By-Laws and Rules.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ On July 15, 2016, OCC filed a proposed rule change with the
Commission concerning modifications and enhancements to OCC's
governance arrangements. See Securities Exchange Act Release No.
78438 (July 28, 2016), 81 FR 51220 (August 3, 2016) (SR-OCC-2016-
002). As part of the proposed rule change, OCC proposed amendments
to its Certificate of Incorporation to remove an explicit
requirement that OCC's Board of Directors (``Board'') have two
Management Directors and instead provide that the number of
Management Directors shall be such number as shall be fixed by or
pursuant to the By-Laws (which the Board has authorized to be
amended to state that the Board shall have one (1) Management
Director). The Commission approved the proposed rule change on
September 16, 2016. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 78862
(September 16, 2016), 81 FR 65415 (September 22, 2016) (SR-OCC-2016-
002).
    \6\ Pending all necessary regulatory filings and approvals for
the proposed rule change, OCC will file the proposed amendments
described herein along with the amendments to OCC's Certificate of
Incorporation contained in SR-OCC-2016-002 in the form of an Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation must also be filed with the Secretary
of the State of Delaware before becoming effective.
    \7\ OCC's By-Laws and Rules can be found on OCC's public Web
site: http://optionsclearing.com/about/publications/bylaws.jsp.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, OCC included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. OCC has prepared summaries, set forth in sections (A),
(B), and (C) below, of the most significant aspects of these
statements.

(A) Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

(1) Purpose
    The purpose of this proposed rule change is to amend and restate
OCC's Certificate of Incorporation to provide more clarity,
transparency, and consistency regarding OCC's Management Director,\8\
Exchange Director, Public Director, and Member Director requirements,
which are being filed in the form of an Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation.\9\ The proposed amendments to the
Certificate of Incorporation are described in more detail below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See supra note 5.
    \9\ Under Section 245 of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware, a corporation may integrate into a single
instrument all of the provisions of its certificate of incorporation
which are then in effect and operative and may at the same time also
further amend its certificate of incorporation by adopting a
restated certificate of incorporation. See 8 Del. C. 1953, Sec.
245. The proposed Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
would supersede OCC's current Restated Certificate of Incorporation
(which was filed with the Secretary of the State of Delaware on
November 3, 1987) and the subsequent amendments thereto.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OCC proposes clarifying amendments to Article V of the Certificate
of Incorporation to state that an individual who serves as an Exchange
Director for more than one Equity Exchange pursuant to the By-Laws
shall be entitled to such number of votes on each proposition submitted
to the Board for a vote thereon or for written consent thereto as shall
correspond to the number of Equity Exchanges represented by him or her.
Article III, Section 6 of the By-Laws currently provides that an
individual may be nominated by, elected by, and serve as an Exchange
Director for more than one Equity Exchange and that each such
individual shall be counted, for all purposes under the By-Laws
(including, without limitation, for the purpose of determining whether
a quorum is present or whether a resolution has been passed by the
requisite number of directors), as a separate Exchange Director for
each Equity Exchange that elected him or her. OCC believes it is
appropriate under Delaware General Corporation Law to include these
voting rights in its Certificate of Incorporation (in addition to the
By-Laws) in order to clarify and reinforce the voting powers of its
Exchange Directors.
    OCC also proposes amendments to Article V of its Certificate of
Incorporation to conform the language regarding Public Directors to
existing language in the Certificate of Incorporation used for Member
Directors. Specifically, the Certificate of Incorporation would be
amended to state that the number of Public Directors shall be such
number as shall be fixed by or pursuant to the By-Laws, divided into
three classes, as provided therein. OCC believes that it is appropriate
from a corporate governance perspective to specifically state in the
Certificate of Incorporation that OCC's Public Directors are divided
into three classes. OCC also proposes that the requirements for Public
Director terms be clarified to state that each class of Public
Directors shall be elected for a term which expires at the third annual
meeting of stockholders following their election and upon the election
and qualification of their successors, subject to their earlier death,
disqualification, resignation, or removal. The proposed amendments
would more closely align the language for Public Director requirements
with that currently used to

describe Member Directors and is consistent with the current
requirements for Public Directors in Article III, Section 6A of OCC's
By-Laws. As a result, OCC believes the proposed amendments would
provide more clarity and consistency in the description of OCC's
Director requirements in the Certificate of Incorporation.
    In addition, OCC proposes to amend Article V of the Certificate of
Incorporation to eliminate an explicit statement that there be ``not
less than nine'' Member Directors in order to provide more clarity and
consistency in the description of OCC's Director requirements across
OCC's governing documents. The proposed amendment is intended only to
be a technical drafting change to the Certificate of Incorporation and
would not substantively change OCC's current requirements regarding the
number of Member Directors required to serve on OCC's Board. While the
Certificate of Incorporation currently states that there be ``not less
than nine'' Member Directors, the actual number of Member Directors
serving on OCC's Board is fixed by Article III, Section 1 of the By-
Laws (which is currently fixed at nine Member Directors). OCC believes
it is appropriate from a corporate governance perspective that the
number of various categories of Directors be fixed within one governing
document of OCC. Currently, the Certificate of Incorporation only
contains references to specific numbers for Management Directors and
Member Directors; however, as discussed above, the Commission recently
approved a proposed rule change by OCC to amend the Certificate of
Incorporation to remove specific requirements regarding the number of
Management Directors, with such number being fixed by the By-Laws.\10\
OCC notes that it is not proposing any changes to the By-Laws in
connection with its Member Director requirements. The number of Member
Directors would continue to be fixed at nine pursuant to Article III,
Section 1 of the By-Laws.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See supra note 5.
    \11\ Furthermore, under Article XI of OCC's By-Laws, any change
in the number of Member Directors required under Article III would
require an amendment approved by two-thirds of the Directors then in
office as well as the approval of the holders of all of the
outstanding Common Stock of OCC entitled to vote thereon.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, OCC proposes that these amendments and restatement be
filed in the form of an Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, as reflected in Exhibit 5 to this proposed rule change.
OCC's Certificate of Incorporation has not been restated since November
3, 1987. Since the 1987 restatement, the Certificate of Incorporation
has been amended six times.\12\ Given the scope and number of
amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation since the last
restatement, OCC believes it would be appropriate to integrate into a
single instrument all of the provisions of OCC's Certificate of
Incorporation that are currently in effect (pending regulatory approval
of the proposed amendments described herein) in order to provide more
clarity and transparency regarding OCC's governance arrangements. OCC
notes that, in addition to the changes described above, the proposed
amendments also include technical, non-substantive drafting changes to
correct typographical errors in Articles IV and V of the Certificate of
Incorporation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ The latest restatement of OCC's Certificate of
Incorporation was dated November 3, 1987, and was subsequently
amended on June 1, 1992, August 12, 1997, October 28, 1999, March
16, 2012, December 30, 2013, and March 6, 2015.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) Statutory Basis
    Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act \13\ requires that the rules of a
clearing agency be designed, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest. OCC believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act \14\ and the rules
thereunder applicable to OCC because the proposed rule change would
provide more clarity and transparency regarding OCC's governance
arrangements to Clearing Members, other users of OCC, and the general
public. Specifically, the proposed rule change would enhance the
clarity, consistency, and transparency of OCC's governance arrangements
by: (i) Clarifying and reinforcing the voting powers of OCC's Exchange
Directors in OCC's Certificate of Incorporation; (ii) providing more
clarity and certainty regarding the number of Directors in each
specific category of Directors required to serve on OCC's Board by
consolidating those requirements into OCC's By-Laws; and (iii)
specifying in the Certificate of Incorporation that OCC's Public
Directors are divided into three classes and describing the length of
the terms of OCC's Public Directors in a manner that more closely
aligns with the language currently used to describe such requirements
for Member Directors. Moreover, the proposed rule change would
integrate into a single instrument all of the provisions of OCC's
Certificate of Incorporation that are currently in effect as well as
changes proposed herein. OCC believes that the proposed changes would
provide more clarity and consistency in the descriptions of OCC's
Director requirements and would enhance the readability of one of OCC's
primary governing documents, its Certificate of Incorporation, for
Clearing Members, other users of OCC, and the general public. As a
result, OCC believes that the proposed rule change is designed, in
general, to protect investors and the public interest in accordance
with Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act \15\ and is reasonably designed to
ensure that OCC has clear and transparent governance arrangements
consistent with Rule 17Ad-22(d)(8) \16\ thereunder. The proposed rule
change is not inconsistent with the existing rules of OCC, including
any other rules proposed to be amended.

(B) Clearing Agency's Statement on Burden on Competition

    Section 17A(b)(3)(I) of the Act \17\ requires that the rules of a
clearing agency not impose any burden on competition not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. As discussed in
more detail above, OCC believes that the proposed rule change would
provide more clarity and transparency to users (and potential users) of
OCC regarding OCC's Management Director, Exchange Director, Public
Director, and Member Director requirements and does not alter the
substantive requirements of OCC's governing documents. As such, OCC
believes that the proposed changes would not have any impact or impose
any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act.

(C) Clearing Agency's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change
Received From Members, Participants or Others

    Written comments on the proposed rule change were not and are not
intended to be solicited with respect to the proposed rule change and
none have been received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act,\18\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) \19\ thereunder, the proposed rule change is

filed for immediate effectiveness because it does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
by its terms would not become operative for 30 days after the date of
the filing, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate.\20\
Additionally, OCC provided the Commission with written notice of its
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \19\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \20\ OCC has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day
operative delay contained in Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) so that the
proposal may become operative immediately upon filing. As noted
herein, the proposed rule change is not intended to substantively
alter OCC's governance arrangements but is designed to provide
additional clarity regarding OCC's governance arrangements and
improve the overall readability of OCC's Certificate of
Incorporation. OCC believes that the prompt implementation of these
changes would be consistent with the public interest and the
protection of investors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest
because it will allow OCC to implement the proposed rule change
immediately. As stated by OCC, OCC believes that the proposed rule
change is not intended to substantively alter OCC's governance
arrangements, but is designed to provide more clarity and transparency
to Clearing Members, other users of OCC, and the general public.
Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the 30-day operative delay and
designates the proposed rule change operative upon filing with the
Commission.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ Notwithstanding its immediate effectiveness, implementation
of this rule change will be delayed until this change is deemed
certified or otherwise appropriately filed as a Weekly Notification
of Rule Amendments under CFTC Regulation Sec.  40.6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 29, 2008, the FAA published a final rule (73 FR 10987)
that provided new and revised airworthiness standards for normal and
transport category rotorcraft. The amendment re-designated Sec.  27.79,
as new Sec.  27.87. However, in Sec.  27.25(a)(1)(iv) and Sec.
27.1587(a), we inadvertently made references to Sec.  27.79 instead of
Sec.  27.87 as intended. This document makes the correction to reflect
Sec.  27.87 as the intended reference. This correction will not impose
any additional requirements.

given that, on March 31, 2016, New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'' 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 its Price List for equity
transactions in stocks with a per share stock price more than $1.00 to
(1) add a new default charge for transactions that remove liquidity
from the Exchange; (2) make certain pricing changes applicable to
Supplemental Liquidity Providers (``SLPs'') on the Exchange; and (3)
eliminate the fee for additional electronic copies of the Merged Order
Report. The Exchange proposes to implement these changes to its Price
List effective April 1, 2016. The proposed rule change is available on
the Exchange's Web site at www.nyse.com, at the principal office of the
Exchange, on the Commission's Web site at http//www.sec.gov, 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 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 to amend its Price List to (1) add a new
default charge for transactions removing liquidity from the Exchange
for member firms whose adding liquidity falls below a specified
threshold; and (2) add a new SLP Tier 1A; lower the credits for Non-
Displayed Reserve Orders for existing SLP Tiers 1 through 3; and, for
SLPs that are also Designated Market Makers (``DMMs''), replace the
numeric benchmark for calculating tier-based credits. The proposed
changes would only apply to credits in transactions in securities
priced $1.00 or more.
    The Exchange also proposes to eliminate the fee for additional
electronic copies of the Merged Order Report.
    The Exchange proposes to implement these changes effective April 1,
2016.
Charges for Removing Liquidity
    The Exchange currently charges a fee of $0.00275 for non-Floor
broker transactions that remove liquidity from the Exchange, including
those of DMMs.
    The Exchange proposes to retain this charge and introduce a
slightly higher default charge of $0.0030 for non-Floor broker
transactions removing liquidity from the Exchange by member
organizations with an Adding ADV,\4\ excluding any liquidity added by a
DMM, of less than 250,000 ADV \5\ on the Exchange during the billing
month.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ ``Adding ADV'' is when a member organization has ADV that
adds liquidity to the Exchange during the billing month. Adding ADV
excludes any liquidity added by a Designated Market Maker.
    \5\ The defined term, ``ADV,'' is used here as defined in
footnote 2 to the Price List.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes Applicable to SLPs
    SLPs are eligible for certain credits when adding liquidity to the
Exchange. The amount of the credit is currently determined by the
``tier'' for which the SLP qualifies, which is based on the SLP's level
of quoting and ADV of liquidity added by the SLP in assigned
securities.
    Currently, SLP Tier 3 provides that when adding liquidity to the
NYSE in securities with a share price of $1.00 or more, an SLP is
eligible for a credit of $0.0023 per share traded if the SLP (1) meets
the 10% average or more quoting requirement in assigned securities
pursuant to Rule 107B and (2) adds liquidity for assigned SLP
securities in the aggregate \6\ of an ADV of more than 0.20% of NYSE
consolidated ADV (``CADV''),\7\ or with respect to an SLP that is also
a DMM and subject to Rule 107B(i)(2)(a),\8\ more than 0.15% of

NYSE CADV. The SLP Tier 3 credit in the case of Non-Displayed Reserve
Orders is $0.0009.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Under Rule 107B, an SLP can be either a proprietary trading
unit of a member organization (``SLP-Prop'') or a registered market
maker at the Exchange (``SLMM''). For purposes of the 10% average or
more quoting requirement in assigned securities pursuant to Rule
107B, quotes of an SLP-Prop and an SLMM of the same member
organization are not aggregated. However, for purposes of adding
liquidity for assigned SLP securities in the aggregate, shares of
both an SLP-Prop and an SLMM of the same member organization are
included.
    \7\ NYSE CADV is defined in the Price List as the consolidated
average daily volume of NYSE-listed securities.
    \8\ Rule 107B(i)(2)(A) prohibits a DMM from acting as a SLP in
the same securities in which it is a DMM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SLP Tier 2 provides that an SLP adding liquidity in securities with
a per share price of $1.00 or more is eligible for a per share credit
of $0.0026 if the SLP: (1) Meets the 10% average or more quoting
requirement in an assigned security pursuant to Rule 107B; and (2) adds
liquidity for all assigned SLP securities in the aggregate of an ADV of
more than 0.45% of NYSE CADV, or with respect to an SLP that is also a
DMM and subject to Rule 107B(i)(2)(a), more than 0.30% of NYSE CADV.\9\
The SLP Tier 2 credit in the case of Non-Displayed Reserve Orders is
$0.0012.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ In determining whether an SLP meets the requirement to add
liquidity in the aggregate of an ADV of more than 0.35% or 0.30%
depending on whether the SLP is also a DMM, the SLP may include
shares of both an SLP-Prop and an SLMM of the same member
organization.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SLP Tier 1 provides that an SLP adding liquidity in securities with
a per share price of $1.00 or more is eligible for a per share credit
of $0.0029 if the SLP: (1) Meets the 10% average or more quoting
requirement in an assigned security pursuant to Rule 107B; and (2) adds
liquidity for all for assigned SLP securities in the aggregate of an
ADV of more than 0.90% of NYSE CADV, or with respect to an SLP that is
also a DMM and subject to Rule 107B(i)(2)(a), more than 0.65% of NYSE
CADV. The SLP Tier 1 credit in the case of Non-Displayed Reserve Orders
is $0.0015.
    The Exchange proposes the following changes applicable to SLPs on
the Exchange.
Credits for Non-Displayed Reserve Orders
    The Exchange proposes to decrease the credit for a Non-Displayed
Reserve Order by $0.0003. Specifically, for Non-Displayed Reserve
Orders the SLP Tier 1 credit would decrease from $0.0015 to $0.0012;
the SLP Tier 2 credit would decrease from $0.0012 to $0.0009; and the
SLP Tier 3 credit would decrease from $0.0009 to $0.0006.
Numeric Benchmark for Calculating Tier-Based Credits
    For SLP Tier 3, SLP Tier 2, and SLP Tier 1, the Exchange proposes
to replace the ADV percentage benchmark for credits for SLPs that are
also DMMs and subject to Rule 107B(i)(2)(A) representing a fixed
discount of NYSE CADV with a dynamic discount based on the DMM's
percentage of NYSE CADV in DMM assigned securities for the prior
quarter. More specifically, the Exchange proposes that the current ADV
percentage requirement for each tier would be discounted by the DMM's
percentage of NYSE CADV for the prior quarter in DMM assigned
securities as of the last business day of the prior month. The Exchange
believes that a calculation utilizing the most recent quarter's
percentage of DMM CADV would result in a fairer discount for SLPs that
are also DMMs than the current fixed percentage, and thus represent a
fairer benchmark for determining the appropriate credit for market
participants that provide liquidity to the Exchange. SLPs that have DMM
assigned securities with a larger percentage of NYSE CADV will receive
a larger discount than SLPs with DMM assigned securities with a smaller
percentage of NYSE CADV.
    For SLP Tier 3, the Exchange proposes that the ADV percentage
requirement for SLPs that are also DMMs and subject to Rule
107B(i)(2)(A) change from more than 0.15% of NYSE CADV to more than the
current 0.20% requirement after a discount of the percentage for the
prior quarter of NYSE CADV in DMM assigned securities as of the last
business day of the prior month. For SLP Tier 2, the Exchange proposes
that the requirement change from more than 0.30% to more than the
current 0.45% requirement after a discount of the percentage for the
prior quarter of NYSE CADV in DMM assigned securities as of the last
business day of the prior month. Finally, for SLP Tier 1, the Exchange
proposes that the requirement change from more than more than 0.65% to
more than the current 0.90% requirement after a discount of the
percentage for the prior quarter of NYSE CADV in DMM assigned
securities as of the last business day of the prior month.
    As proposed, the NYSE CADV in DMM assigned securities would be on a
prior quarter basis and the DMM assigned securities list applied to the
quarter would be as of the last business day of the prior month. This
would enable the Exchange to measure stock transfers in the prior month
and among DMMs. For example, for April 2016, the calculation for each
tier would be based on the 1st quarter of 2016 by reference to the DMM
stock list for March 31, 2016, the last business day of the prior
month. A DMM security that did not trade in prior quarter would not be
used in measuring the discount. Securities assigned to the SLP's DMM in
the current month will also not be used in measuring the discount.
Further, days on which the Exchange closes early would be included in
calculating the discount. This is consistent with the way in which the
Exchange calculates other fees.\10\ If a SLP has no DMM assigned
securities as of the last day of the prior month or if the DMM assigned
securities did not have any NYSE CADV in the prior quarter, then the
SLP will not be assigned a discount for the current month.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Fee Schedule, footnote 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The following is an example of how the proposed change would
operate by reference to SLP Tier 3. Assume an SLP that is also a DMM
has DMM assigned securities with a NYSE CADV in the prior quarter of
570 million shares. Assume that total NYSE CADV was 3.8 billion shares
for the prior quarter. Under these circumstances, the requirement for
SLP Tier 3 for such a SLP would be 0.17%, using a 15% discount based on
570 million shares of NYSE CADV in the SLPs DMM assigned securities
divided by 3.8 billion shares of total NYSE CADV, applied to the
current 0.20% SLP Tier 3 requirement for all SLPs.
    The Exchange also proposes to add a footnote designated with an
asterisk providing that SLPs that become DMMs on the Exchange after the
beginning of a billing month would not be eligible until the next full
billing month.
    The Exchange does not propose any changes to the SLP Non-Tier.
New SLP Tier 1A
    The Exchange proposes a new, fourth SLP Tier designated ``1A'' that
would provide that an SLP adding liquidity in securities with a per
share price of $1.00 or more is eligible for a per share credit of
$0.00275 if the SLP: (1) Meets the 10% average or more quoting
requirement in an assigned security pursuant to Rule 107B; and (2) adds
liquidity for all for assigned SLP securities in the aggregate of an
ADV of more than 0.60% of NYSE CADV, or with respect to an SLP that is
also a DMM and subject to Rule 107B(i)(2)(a), more than 0.60% after a
discount of the percentage for the prior quarter of NYSE CADV in DMM
assigned securities as of the last business day of the prior month. The
proposed SLP Tier 1A credit in the case of Non-Displayed Reserve Orders
would be $0.00105. The Exchange believes that the new tier will provide
greater incentives for member organizations between Tier 1 (.90%) and
Tier 2 levels (.45%) to add liquidity to the Exchange.
Merged Order Report
    The Exchange currently charges member organizations $3.00 per copy
(the first copy is provided at no charge) per 1,000 records for machine
readable output and print image transmission

copies of the Merged Order Report (the ``Report''). The Exchange no
longer provides the Report in these formats, which required individual
transmissions each time a member organization wanted to access the
Report. Instead, the Exchange provides a single, web-based transmission
of the Report. Since the first copy of the Report is not charged, the
Exchange proposes to eliminate the fee. The Exchange proposes to retain
the current charge for hard copies of the Report.
* * * * *
    The proposed changes are not otherwise intended to address any
other issues, and the Exchange is not aware of any problems that member
organizations 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 Sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,\12\ in
particular, because it provides for the equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its members, issuers and
other persons using its facilities and does not unfairly discriminate
between customers, issuers, brokers or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Charges for Removing Liquidity
    The Exchange believes that introducing a slightly higher default
charge for non-Floor broker transactions removing liquidity from the
Exchange for member organizations with an Adding ADV, excluding DMM
liquidity, of less than 250,000 ADV during a billing month is
reasonable. The Exchange believes that the proposed rate change will
incentivize submission of additional liquidity to a public exchange,
thereby promoting price discovery and transparency and enhancing order
execution opportunities for member organizations. The Exchange also
believes that the proposed fee is equitable because it would apply to
all similarly situated member organizations.
    The proposed fee also is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory
because it would be consistent with the applicable rate on other
marketplaces. For example, EDGA Exchange, Inc. (``EDGA'') provides a
credit for removing liquidity, subject to Footnote 1 to EDGA's fee
schedule, which imposes a charge of $0.0030 per share for removing
liquidity on members that do not add and/or route a minimum ADV,
measured monthly, of 50,000 shares on EDGA.\13\ Given the Exchange's
and EDGA's relative size and market share, the Exchange believes that
EDGA's 50,000 share requirement is comparable to the proposed 250,000
ADV requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See http://www.bats.com/us/equities/membership/fee_schedule/edga/.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

New SLP Tier 1A
    The Exchange believes that proposal to introduce a new SLP Tier 1A
is reasonable because it provides SLPs as well as SLPs that are also
DMMs with an additional way to qualify for a rebate, thereby providing
SLPs with greater flexibility and creating an added incentive for SLPs
to bring additional order flow to a public market. In particular, as
noted above, the Exchange believes that the new tier will provide
greater incentives for member organizations between Tier 1 (.90%) and
Tier 2 levels (.45%) to add liquidity to the Exchange.
Credits for Non-Displayed Reserve Orders
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change to reduce the
credit for Non-Displayed Reserve Orders that provide liquidity is
reasonable, equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because it
strengthens the relative incentive for SLPs to submit displayed
liquidity versus non-displayed liquidity to the Exchange. The Exchange
also believes that the proposed lower credit is equitable and not
unfairly discriminatory because it would apply equally to all SLPs.
Numeric Benchmark for Calculating Tier-Based Credits
    The Exchange believes that replacing the numeric benchmark
representing a fixed discount of NYSE CADV for calculating tier-based
credits for SLPs that are also DMMs and subject to Rule 107B(i)(2)(A)
with the current numeric benchmark applicable to other SLPs for each
tier discounted by the DMM's percentage of NYSE consolidated average
daily volume for the prior quarter in DMM assigned securities is
reasonable. As noted above, the Exchange believes that the proposed
benchmark would result in a more accurate discount for market
participants that provide liquidity to the Exchange and would thus be
fairer. The Exchange notes that for some SLPs with DMMs, the proposed
change may result in a lower requirement than the current tier
requirement, and for some SLPs the change may result in a higher
requirement, based on the NYSE CADV in the SLP's DMM assigned
securities than the current tier requirement. The Exchange believes
that more accurate and fairer discounts would incentivize these market
participants to increase the orders sent directly to the Exchange and
therefore provide liquidity that supports the quality of price
discovery and promotes market transparency. Further, the Exchange
believes that the proposed benchmark is equitable because it would
apply to all similarly situated SLPs and provide credits that are
reasonably related to the value of an exchange's market quality
associated with higher volumes. The Exchange further believes that the
proposal is reasonable, equitable and not unfairly discriminatory
because other exchanges have implemented multiple step up tiers based
on a firm's individual trading activity rather than a market
baseline.\14\

(October 6, 2015), 80 FR 61529 (October 13, 2015) (SR-NYSEArca-2015-
87).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Merged Order Report
    The Exchange believes that eliminating the per copy fee for the
Merged Order Report is reasonable because the Exchange does not charge
for the first copy and, in light of the Exchange's utilization of web-
based transmission of the Report, the need to transmit multiple copies
to the member organizations has been eliminated. The Exchange believes
that the proposed elimination of the per copy fee is equitable as the
costs it was designed to defray have been eliminated by the web-based
method of publishing the Report. As noted above, the Exchange proposes
to retain the current charge for hard copies of the Report.
    Finally, the Exchange believes that it is subject to significant
competitive forces, as described below in the Exchange's statement
regarding the burden on competition.
    For the foregoing reasons, the Exchange believes that the proposal
is consistent with the Act.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    In accordance with Section 6(b)(8) of the Act,\15\ the Exchange
believes that the proposed rule change would not impose any burden on
competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. Instead, the Exchange believes that the proposed
change would encourage the submission of additional liquidity to a
public exchange, thereby promoting price discovery and transparency and

enhancing order execution opportunities for member organizations. The
Exchange believes that this could promote competition between the
Exchange and other execution venues, including those that currently
offer similar order types and comparable transaction pricing, by
encouraging additional orders to be sent to the Exchange for execution.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, the Exchange notes that it operates in a highly
competitive market in which market participants can readily favor
competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be
excessive or rebate opportunities available at other venues to be more
favorable. In such an environment, the Exchange must continually adjust
its fees and rebates to remain competitive with other exchanges and
with alternative trading systems that have been exempted from
compliance with the statutory standards applicable to exchanges.
Because competitors are free to modify their own fees and credits in
response, and because market participants may readily adjust their
order routing practices, the Exchange believes that the degree to which
fee changes in this market may impose any burden on competition is
extremely limited. As a result of all of these considerations, the
Exchange does not believe that the proposed changes will impair the
ability of member organizations or competing order execution venues to
maintain their competitive standing in the financial markets.

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 foregoing rule change is effective upon filing pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) \16\ of the Act and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule
19b-4 \17\ thereunder, because it establishes a due, fee, or other
charge imposed by the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \17\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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) \18\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
