Self-Regulatory Organizations; Notice 

of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness 

of Proposed Rule Change by NYSE 

Amex LLC Amending Rule 991 Options 

Communications 

February 4, 2010. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) 1 of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 

‘‘Act’’) 2 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,3

notice is hereby given that, on January 

13, 2010, NYSE Amex LLC (‘‘NYSE 

Amex’’ 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 

substantially 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 amend its 

option trading rules pertaining to its 

advertising, branch officer examination 

requirement, and assuming customer 

loss policies to harmonize these policies 

with those of the Financial Industry 

Regulatory Authority (‘‘FINRA’’). The 

text of the proposed rule change is 

available on the Exchange’s Web site at 

http://www.nyse.com, at the Exchange’s 

principal office 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 

Pursuant to Rule 17d–2 under the Act, 

the American Stock Exchange, LLC, the 

Boston Stock Exchange, Inc., the 

Chicago Board Options Exchange, Inc., 

the International Securities Exchange, 

LLC, Financial Industry Regulatory 

Authority, Inc., The NASDAQ Stock 

Market LLC, the New York Stock 

Exchange, LLC, NYSE Arca, Inc., and 

the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc. 

(collectively, the ‘‘Options Self 

Regulatory Council’’), entered into an 

agreement dated June 5, 2008 (the ‘‘17d– 

2 Agreement’’) to allocate regulatory 

responsibility for common rules. The 

Exchange is currently in the process of 

recertifying this 17d–2 Agreement. 

In order to continue this successful 

regulatory agreement, the Exchange 

proposes to harmonize the following 

option trading rules with comparable 

FINRA rules: NYSE Amex Rule 991, 

Communications to Customers and 

NYSE Amex Rule 1106, Prior Approval 

of Certain Communications to 

Customers. 

Options Communications 

In furtherance of the 17d–2 

Agreement, and in order to maintain 

substantial similarity with FINRA rules, 

the Exchange proposes to amend NYSE 

Amex Rule 991, Communications to 

Customers, to correspond to FINRA 

Rule 2220, Options Communications. 

Many elements of current NYSE Amex 

Rule 991 are identical to FINRA Rule 

2220. However, FINRA 2220 contains a 

more comprehensive definition section 

and approval process for 

advertisements, correspondence, and 

institutional sales material. The 

Exchange believes it is in the best 

interest of its Members to adopt 

FINRA’s more comprehensive 

requirements. To the extent that other 

FINRA rules are incorporated into 

FINRA 2220 by reference, the Exchange 

proposes to add such language directly 

into the corresponding sections of 

proposed Rule 991. 

For instance, FINRA Rule 2357 makes 

the provisions of FINRA 2220 

applicable to index warrants, currency 

index warrants and currency warrants. 

As stated above, the Exchange proposes 

to amend NYSE Amex Rule 991 to 

correspond to FINRA Rule 2220. Thus, 

to harmonize its rules with FINRA’s, the 

Exchange proposes to amend NYSE 

Amex Rule 1106 to correspond to 

FINRA Rule 2357, so that proposed 

NYSE Amex Rule 1106 will make the
