at 62587. The Commission notes that the Exchange 

also stated that no other company will be required 

to pay higher fees as a result of the proposal and 

that providing the proposed services will have no 

impact on the resources available for its regulatory 

programs. See Notice, supra note 2, at 76130.

the Exchange, extending the time period 

that products and services are available 

to Eligible New Listings and Eligible 

Transfer Companies will help the 

Exchange to compete for new listings 

and transfers from other exchanges.19 In 

addition, as noted by the Exchange, the 

Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (‘‘Nasdaq’’) 

currently provides four years of 

complimentary services to companies 

transferring from NYSE to the Nasdaq 

Global Market that have a market 

capitalization of at least $750 million.20

Accordingly, the Commission believes 

that it is reasonable and consistent with 

Sections 6(b)(4) 21 and 6(b)(5) of the 

Act 22 for the Exchange to extend the 

time period that it offers complimentary 

products and services to Eligible New 

Listings and Eligible Transfer 

Companies that list on or after the date 

of Commission approval of the proposal 

from 24 calendar months to 48 calendar 

months. In addition, the Commission 

believes that the proposal reflects the 

current competitive environment for 

exchange listings among national 

securities exchanges, and is appropriate 

and consistent with Section 6(b)(8) of 

the Act.23

The Commission has previously 

found that the package of 

complimentary services offered to 

Eligible New Listings and Eligible 

Transfer Companies is equitably 

allocated among issuers consistent with 

Section 6(b)(4) of the Act.24 The 

Commission notes that all listed 

companies will continue to receive 

some level of free services and that, 

within each tier, all issuers will 

continue to receive the exact same 

package of services, for the same period 

of time. Given that under the proposal 

Eligible New Listings and Eligible 

Transfer Companies within each tier 

will continue to receive the same 

complimentary products and services 

for the same period of time, the 

Commission continues to believe that 

the package of complimentary services 

is equitably allocated among issuers 

consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the 

Act 25 and the rule does not unfairly 

discriminate between issuers consistent 

with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act.26

The Commission believes that 

describing in the Exchange’s rules the 

products and services available to listed 

companies, their associated values, and 

the length of time for which issuers are 

entitled to receive such services adds 

greater transparency to the Exchange’s 

rules and to the fees applicable to listed 

companies and will ensure that 

individual listed companies are not 

given specially negotiated packages of 

products or services to list, or remain 

listed, which would raise unfair 

discrimination issues under the Act.27

The Commission also believes that it is 

reasonable, and in fact required by 

Section 19(b) of the Act, that the 

Exchange amend its rules to update the 

products and services it offers to 

Eligible Current Listings, Eligible 

Transfer Companies, and Eligible New 

Listings, including the time periods for 

which such products and services are 

offered and the commercial value of 

such products and services. This 

provides greater transparency to the 

Exchange’s rules and the fees, and the 

value of free products and services, 

applicable to listed companies. Based 

on the foregoing, the Commission 

believes that the Exchange has provided 

a sufficient basis for offering Eligible 

New Listings and Eligible Transfer 

Companies complimentary products 

and services for a period of 48 calendar 

months, and that this change does not 

unfairly discriminate among issuers and 

is consistent with the Act. 

Finally, the Commission believes it is 

consistent with the Act for the Exchange 

to remove obsolete provisions of rule 

text in order to provide greater 

transparency to the Exchange’s rules 

and fees and to avoid confusion. 

IV. Conclusion 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,28 that the 

proposed rule change (SR–NYSE–2020– 

94) be, and it hereby is, approved. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.29

DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice: 11321] 

Call for Expert Reviewers to Submit 

Comments on the Intergovernmental 

Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 

Working Group III Contribution to the 

Sixth Assessment Report 

The Department of State, in 

cooperation with the United States 

Global Change Research Program 

(USGCRP), requests expert review of the 

second-order draft of the IPCC Working 

Group III (WGIII) contribution to the 

Sixth Assessment Report cycle (AR6), 

including the first draft of the Summary 

for Policymakers (SPM). 

The United Nations Environment 

Programme (UNEP) and the World 

Meteorological Organization (WMO) 

established the IPCC in 1988. As 

reflected in its governing documents, 

the role of the IPCC is to assess on a 

comprehensive, objective, open, and 

transparent basis the scientific, 

technical, and socio-economic 

information relevant to understanding 

the scientific basis of risk of humaninduced climate change, its potential 

impacts, and options for adaptation and 

mitigation. IPCC reports should be 

neutral with respect to policy, although 

they may need to deal objectively with 

scientific, technical, and socioeconomic factors relevant to the 

application of particular policies. The 

principles and procedures for the IPCC 

and its preparation of reports can be 

found at: https://www.ipcc.ch/site/ 

assets/uploads/2018/09/ipccprinciples.pdf and https://www.ipcc.ch/ 

site/assets/uploads/2018/09/ipccprinciples-appendix-a-final.pdf. In 

accordance with these procedures, IPCC 

documents undergo peer review by 

experts and governments. The purpose 

of these reviews is to ensure the reports 

present a comprehensive, objective, and 

balanced view of the subject matter they 

cover. 

As part of the U.S. government 

review—starting January 18, 2021— 

experts wishing to contribute to the U.S. 

government review are encouraged to 

register via the USGCRP Review and 

Comment System (https://

review.globalchange.gov). Instructions 

and the second-order draft will be 

available for download via the system. 

In accordance with IPCC policy, drafts 

of the report are provided for review 

purposes only and are not to be cited or 

distributed. All technical comments 

received that are relevant to the text 

under review will be forwarded to the 

IPCC authors for their consideration. To 

be considered for inclusion in the U.S. 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 10 / Friday, January 15, 2021 / Notices 4169 

government submission, comments 

must be received by February 22, 2021. 

Experts may choose to provide 

comments directly through the IPCC’s 

expert review process, which occurs in 

parallel with the U.S. government 

review: https://apps.ipcc.ch/comments/ 

ar6wg3/sod/register.php. To avoid 

duplication, experts are requested to 

submit comments via either the 

USGCRP or IPCC review websites, not 

both. 

This notice will be published in the 

Federal Register.

Deputy Director, Office of Global Change,
