[Release No. 34–98898; File No. SR– 

NYSECHX–2023–19] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE 

Chicago, Inc.; Notice of Filing and 

Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed 

Rule Change To Amend Rule 7.37 

November 9, 2023. 

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

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

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

notice is hereby given that on November 

2, 2023, the NYSE Chicago, Inc. (‘‘NYSE 

Chicago’’ or the ‘‘Exchange’’) 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 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 

Rule 7.37 to specify the Exchange’s 

source of data feeds from MIAX PEARL, 

LLC (‘‘MIAX PEARL’’) for purposes of 

order handling, order execution, order 

routing, and regulatory compliance. The 

proposed rule change is available on the 

Exchange’s website at www.nyse.com, at 

the principal office of the Exchange, 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 update and 

amend the use of data feeds table in 

Rule 7.37(d), which sets forth on a 

market-by-market basis the specific 

securities information processor (‘‘SIP’’) 

and proprietary data feeds that the 

Exchange utilizes for the handling, 

execution, and routing of orders, and for 

performing the regulatory compliance 

checks related to each of those 

functions. Specifically, the Exchange 

proposes to amend the table in Rule 

7.37(d) to specify that, with respect to 

MIAX PEARL, the Exchange will receive 

a MIAX PEARL direct feed as its 

primary source of data for order 

handling, order execution, order 

routing, and regulatory compliance, and 

will use the SIP Data Feed as its 

secondary source for data from MIAX 

PEARL. 

The Exchange proposes to make this 

change operative in the fourth quarter of 

2023, and, in any event, before 

December 31, 2023. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The proposed rule change is 

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

in general, and furthers the objectives of 

Section 6(b)(5),5 in particular, because it 

is designed to prevent fraudulent and 

manipulative acts and practices, to 

promote just and equitable principles of 

trade, to foster cooperation and 

coordination with persons engaged in 

facilitating transactions in securities, to 

remove impediments to, and perfect the 

mechanism of, a free and open market 

and a national market system and, in 

general, to protect investors and the 

public interest. Additionally, the 

Exchange believes that the proposed 

rule change is consistent with the 

Section 6(b)(5) requirement that the 

rules of an exchange not be designed to 

permit unfair discrimination between 

customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers. 

The Exchange believes its proposal to 

update the table in Rule 7.37(d) to 

include the MIAX PEARL direct feed 

will ensure that the Rule correctly 

identifies and publicly states on a 

market-by-market basis all of the 

specific SIP and proprietary data feeds 

that the Exchange utilizes for the 

handling, execution, and routing of 

orders, and for performing the 

regulatory compliance checks for each 

of those functions. The proposed rule 

change also removes impediments to 

and perfects the mechanism of a free 

and open market and protects investors 

and the public interest by providing 

additional specificity, clarity, and 

transparency in the Exchange’s rules. 

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. Rather, the 

Exchange believes that the proposal will 

enhance competition because providing 

the public and market participants with 

up-to-date information about the data 

feeds the Exchange will use for the 

handling, execution, and routing of 

orders, as well as for regulatory 

compliance would enhance 

transparency and enable investors to 

better assess the quality of the 

Exchange’s execution and routing 

services. The Exchange also believes the 

proposal would enhance competition 

because it would potentially enhance 

the performance of its order handling 

and execution of orders in equity 

securities by receiving market data 

directly from MIAX PEARL. Finally, the 

proposed rule change would not impact 

competition between market 

participants because it will affect all 

market participants equally. 

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 Exchange has filed the proposed 

rule change pursuant to Section

8 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6) requires a self-regulatory organization to give 

the Commission 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. The Exchange 

has satisfied this requirement.

value, Nasdaq will disseminate an Index value for 

XND that is 1/100 of the value of the Nasdaq-100 

Index. 

19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 6 and Rule 

19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.7 Because the 

proposed rule change does not: (i) 

significantly affect the protection of 

investors or the public interest; (ii) 

impose any significant burden on 

competition; and (iii) become operative 

prior to 30 days from the date on which 

it was filed, or such shorter time as the 

Commission may designate, if 

consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest, the 

proposed rule change has become 

effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 

of the Act and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 8

thereunder. 

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. If the 

Commission takes such action, the 

Commission shall institute proceedings 

under Section 19(b)(2)(B) 9 of the Act to 

determine whether the proposed rule 

change should be approved or 

disapproved. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments

change is consistent with the Act.
