          - [Release No. 34-60664; File No. SR-NYSEArca-2009-81]

                    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) [1]                                          and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,[2]                                          notice is hereby given that on September 4, 2009, NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca” or “Exchange”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II and III 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 the section of its Schedule of Fees and Charges for Exchange Services (the “Schedule”) in order to establish a fee for its Risk Management Gateway (“RMG”) service. The amended section of the Schedule is included as Exhibit 5 hereto. A copy of this filing 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 Exchange 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. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

### A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

#### 1. Purpose

On August 28, 2009 the Exchange filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to establish its RMG Service. RMG is a service designed to facilitate the ability of Sponsoring ETP Holders to monitor and oversee the sponsored access activity of their Sponsored Participants. NYXATS offers an order-verification service to Sponsoring ETP Holders that acts as a risk filter by causing the orders of Sponsored Participants to pass through RMG prior to entering the Exchange's trading system for execution. When a Sponsored Participant's order passes through RMG, RMG software determines whether the order complies with order criteria that the Sponsoring ETP Holder has established for that Sponsored Participant. The order criteria reviewed by RMG may include the size of the order or the credit limit that the Sponsoring ETP Holder has established for the Sponsored Participant. This proposed rule change establishes fees for the RMG service.

The Exchange proposes to charge each RMG user Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000) per month for the first Connection plus One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per month for each additional Connection.

                    A “Connection” is defined as up to 1000 messages per second inbound, regardless of the connection's actual capacity (                    *i.e.,*                     if the NYXT infrastructure allows any single End User connection to support more than 1000 messages per second inbound, such connection will be deemed to be multiple Connections).                

The Exchange believes that the proposed fee is fair and reasonable and reflects an equitable allocation of charges among its members.

The fee compares favorably with the fees that the Exchange's competitors charge for similar services, and is the same as the fee charged by the NYSE for its similar service.

#### 2. Statutory Basis

                    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the provisions of Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”),[3]                                          in general, and Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,[4]                                          in particular, in that it is designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its members and other persons using its facilities. The Exchange believes that RMG will promote marketplace efficiency by providing security safeguards to the trading of securities by means of sponsored access and believes that the proposed fee is fair and reasonable for the reasons cited above.                

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

The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

### 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 proposed rule change is effective upon filing pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act [5]                                          and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) thereunder,[6]                                          because it establishes a due, fee, or other charge imposed by NYSE Arca on its members.                

At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate 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.

## IV. Solicitation of Comments
