SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

February 26, 2010, the Postal Service 

filed a notice with the Commission 

pursuant to 39 CFR 3020.90 et seq. 

concerning a change in classification 

which reflects a change in terminology 

from Bulk Mailing Center (BMC) to 

Network Distribution Center (NDC), and 

revises its regulations to change the 

terms in Mailing Standards of the 

United States Postal Service, Domestic 

Mail Manual (DMM) and other related 

manuals and publications effective 

March 15, 2010.1 The Postal Service 

states revisions will also be made in its 

service standard regulations in 39 CFR 

part 121 to indicate the terminology 

change from BMC to NDC. The Postal 

Service states it will concurrently file a 

notice explaining these changes in the 

Federal Register. Id. at 1. 

The Postal Service indicates that the 

original BMC network was established 

in the 1970s to process mail which now 

includes Parcel Post, Bound Printed 

Matter, Media Mail, Standard Mail, and 

Periodicals. Id. However, variation in 

volume and changes in the mailing 

habits of the public and large mailers 

require modifications to BMC 

processing and transportation. Id. The 

Postal Service states in order to 

maximize its efficiency, changes have 

been made to mail flow processes 

through the new NDC network, and it is 

converting BMCs to NDCs. Id. at 1–2. It 

notes that as part of the transition to the 

new NDC concept, only a terminology 

change is being implemented now and 

there are no revisions to mailing 

standards, service standards, or 

processes as a result of this notice. Id. 

at 2. The Postal Service states that in the 

future, it intends to propose changes to 

the preparation, entry and deposit of 

mail related to the NDC concept. Id. The 

Postal Service proposes conforming 

Mail Classification Schedule language to 

replace references to the BMC, with 

references to the NDC.2 Id. at 2–3. 

Pursuant to 39 CFR 3020.92, the 

Commission provides notice of the 

Postal Service’s filing and affords 

interested persons an opportunity to 

express views and offer comments on 

whether the proposed classification 

change is inconsistent with 39 U.S.C. 

3642. Comments are due March 10, 

2010. 

Section 3020.91 requires the Postal 

Service to file notice of the proposed 

change with the Commission no less 

than 15 days prior to the effective date 

of the proposed change. The Notice 

states that the classification change is to 

become effective March 15, 2010. 

The Commission appoints Paul L. 

Harrington to serve as Public 

Representative in this docket. 

It is ordered: 

1. The Commission establishes Docket 

No. MC2010–19 for consideration of the 

matters raised in this docket. 

2. Pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 505, Paul L. 

Harrington is appointed to serve as 

officer of the Commission (Public 

Representative) to represent the 

interests of the general public in these 

proceedings. 

3. Comments by interested persons in 

this proceeding are due no later than

(SR–NYSEAmex–2009–81) (Modify the closing 

process and renumbering 123C(8) to 123C(9)). The 

Exchange anticipates operation of these changes to 

commence on or about March 1, 2010. 4See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59755 

(April 13, 2009), 74 FR 18009 (April 20, 2009) (SR–

proposed to be made to the rules of New York Stock

facilitate dialogue from industry 

participants. 

The respondents to the questionnaire 

are Securities Law Practitioners, 

Securities Law Professors and Securities 

Industry Participants. 

The total estimated reporting burden 

of the questionnaire is approximately 

twenty-two and a half (22.5) hours semiannually. It is estimated that it will take 

each respondent approximately thirty 

(30) minutes to complete the 

questionnaire. Assuming that all fortyfive (45) individuals respond, the total 

estimated burden will be twenty-two 

and a half (22.5) hours semi-annually. 

This was calculated by multiplying the 

total number of respondents times how 

long it is estimated to take to complete 

the questionnaire (45 respondents × 30 

minutes = 22 hours and 30 minutes). 

Since the information collection is 

intended to be sent out semi-annually, 

the total yearly burden will be forty-five 

hours (45), totaling one (1) hour per 

respondent annually. 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the collection of 

information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; and (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on respondents, including 

through the use of automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. Consideration will be given 

to comments and suggestions submitted 

in writing within 60 days of this 

publication.

the Operation of the Pilot Operating 

Pursuant the Rule Until the Earlier of

Permanent or June 1, 2010 

March 1, 2010. 

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

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 

‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on February 

24, 2010, NYSE Amex LLC (the 

‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘NYSE Amex’’) filed with 

the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) the 

proposed rule change as described in 

Items I and II below, which Items have 

been prepared by the Exchange. 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 

NYSE Amex Equities Rule 123C(8)(a)(1) 

to extend the operation of the pilot to 

temporarily suspend certain NYSE 

Amex Equities Rule requirements 

relating to the closing of securities on 

the Exchange until the earlier of 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

approval to make such pilot permanent 

or March 1, 2010. The text of the 

proposed rule change is available at the 

Exchange, the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room, and http://

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 

NYSE Amex LLC (‘‘NYSE Amex’’ or 

the ‘‘Exchange’’), formerly the American 

Stock Exchange LLC, proposes to amend 

NYSE Amex Equities Rule 

123C(9)(a)(1) 3 to extend the operation of 

the pilot operating pursuant the Rule 

until the earlier of Securities and 

Exchange Commission approval to make 

such pilot permanent or June 1, 2010. 

NYSE Amex Equities Rule 

123C(9)(a)(1) allows the Exchange to 

temporarily suspend certain rule 

requirements at the close when extreme 

order imbalances may cause significant 

dislocation to the closing price. The rule 

has operated on a pilot basis since April 

2009 (‘‘Extreme Order Imbalances Pilot’’ 

or ‘‘Pilot’’).4 Through this filing, NYSE 

Amex proposes to extend the Pilot until 

the earlier of Securities and Exchange 

Commission approval to make such 

Pilot permanent or June 1, 2010.5

Background 

Pursuant to NYSE Amex Equities Rule 

123C(9)(a)(1), the Exchange may 

suspend NYSE Amex Equities Rules 52 

(Hours of Operation) to resolve an 

extreme order imbalance that may result 

in a closing price dislocation at the 

close as a result of an order entered into 

Exchange systems, or represented to a 

DMM orally at or near the close. The 

provisions of NYSE Amex Equities Rule 

123C(9)(a)(1) operate as the Extreme 

Order Imbalance Pilot. 

As a condition of the approval to 

operate the Pilot, the Exchange 

committed to provide the Commission 

with information regarding: (i) How 

often a Rule 52 temporary suspension 

pursuant to the Pilot was invoked 

during the six months following its 

approval; and (ii) the Exchange’s 

determination as to how to proceed with 

technical modifications to reconfigure 

Exchange systems to accept orders 

electronically after 4 p.m.. 

The Extreme Order Imbalance Pilot is 

scheduled to end operation on March 1, 

2010.6 The Exchange is currently
