(e.g., FINRA).26 The Exchange’s 

proposal would merely remove the 

requirement under its rules that brokerdealers be members of another SRO 

when they are not otherwise required to 

do so. 

The proposed rule change would also 

not unfairly discriminate between or 

among market participants because both 

current and prospective members would 

be subject to the rule. All member 

organizations would be regulated in the 

same manner by the Exchange should 

they be a member of another SRO or not. 

For these reasons, the Exchange 

believes that the proposal is consistent 

with the Act. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

In accordance with Section 6(b)(8) of 

the Act,27 the Exchange believes that the 

proposed rule change will not impose 

any burden on competition that is not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act. The 

proposed rule change is not designed to 

have a competitive impact because it is 

not intended to attract additional 

business to the Exchange. It is simply 

intended to align the definition of 

‘‘member organization’’ with that of its 

affiliates [sic] and similar definitions of 

other national securities exchanges 

while ensuring the member 

organizations continue to be subject to 

comprehensive regulatory oversight. 

This proposal should also move to 

harmonize the membership 

requirements between the exchange and 

its affiliate NYSE Arca, thereby avoiding 

potential confusion.28

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 

Within 45 days of the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register or up to 90 days (i) as the 

Commission may designate if it finds 

such longer period to be appropriate 

and publishes its reasons for so finding 

or (ii) as to which the self-regulatory 

organization consents, the Commission 

will: 

(A) by order approve or disapprove 

the proposed rule change, or 

(B) institute proceedings to determine 

whether the proposed rule change 

should be disapproved. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments
