(‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Section 

19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act

that within 45 days of the publication of 

notice of the filing of a proposed rule

to be appropriate and publishes its 

reasons for so finding or as to which the

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE 

Arca, Inc.; Notice of Filing and 

Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed 

Rule Change Relating to the Listing 

and Trading of Shares of the Columbia 

Multi-Sector Municipal Income ETF 

July 24, 2018. 

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 July 10, 

2018, NYSE Arca, Inc. (‘‘Exchange’’ or 

‘‘NYSE Arca’’) filed with the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘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 list and 

trade shares of the Columbia MultiSector Municipal Income ETF (the 

‘‘Fund’’) pursuant to NYSE Arca Rule 

5.2–E(j)(3), Commentary .02. 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 list and 

trade shares (‘‘Shares’’) of the Fund 

under Commentary .02 to NYSE Arca 

Rule 5.2–E(j)(3), which governs the 

listing and trading of Investment 

Company Units (‘‘Units’’) 4 based on 

fixed income securities indexes.5 As 

discussed below, the Exchange is 

submitting this proposed rule change 

because the ‘‘Index’’ (as defined below) 

does not meet all of the ‘‘generic’’ listing 

requirements of Commentary .02 to Rule 

5.2–E(j)(3) applicable to the listing of 

Units based on fixed income securities 

indexes. The Index meets all such 

requirements except for those set forth 

in Commentary .02(a)(2).6
