participants can readily favor competing 

venues if they deem fee levels at a 

particular venue to be excessive, or 

rebate opportunities available at other 

venues to be more favorable. In such an 

environment, the Exchange must 

continually adjust its fees to remain 

competitive with other exchanges and 

with alternative trading systems that 

have been exempted from compliance 

with the statutory standards applicable 

to exchanges. Because competitors are 

free to modify their own fees in 

response, and because market 

participants may readily adjust their 

order routing practices, the Exchange 

believes that the degree to which fee 

changes in this market may impose any 

burden on competition is extremely 

limited. 

Intermarket Competition 

Nothing in the proposal burdens 

inter-market competition (the 

competition among self-regulatory 

organizations). As discussed above, 

MRX Trade Outline is subject to direct 

competition from other options 

exchanges that offer similar products. 

Any of these exchanges can replicate 

this proposal in full or in part, and 

nothing in the proposal would interfere 

with the ability of any exchange to do 

so. 

Intramarket Competition 

Nothing in the proposal burdens 

intra-market competition (the 

competition among consumers of 

exchange data). Trade Outline is 

available to any customer under the 

same fee schedule as any other 

customer, and any market participant 

that wishes to purchase a license to 

distribute Derived Data can do so on a 

non-discriminatory basis. 

Indeed, the proposal is designed to 

foster competition for vendors as well as 

exchanges by creating an incentive for 

market data vendors to identify, 

develop, and sell analytic indicators to 

help investors inform their investments 

strategies and analytic models. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

No written comments were either 

solicited or received. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action

effective pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act.48 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: (i)

interest; (ii) for the protection of 

investors; or (iii) otherwise in 

furtherance of the purposes of the Act. 

If the Commission takes such action, the 

Commission shall institute proceedings 

to determine whether the proposed rule 

should be approved or disapproved. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments

submit written data, views and 

arguments concerning the foregoing,

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New 

York Stock Exchange LLC; Notice of 

Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of 

Proposed Rule Change To Amend Its 

Price List Regarding the Gross FOCUS 

Fee 

October 24, 2024. 

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 October 

10, 2024, New York Stock Exchange 

LLC (‘‘NYSE’’ or the ‘‘Exchange’’) filed 

with the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (‘‘SEC’’ or ‘‘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 its 

Price List regarding the gross FOCUS fee 

charged to member organizations, 

effective October 10, 2024.3 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 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

The Exchange proposes to amend its 

Price List to (1) provide for a temporary 

waiver of the Gross FOCUS fee from 

October 1, 2024 through February 28, 

2025 (the ‘‘Waiver Period’’), and (2) 

delete a reference to a superseded fee. 

The Exchange proposes to implement 

the fee changes effective October 10, 

2024. 

Background 

NYSE Rule 129 provides that the 

Exchange’s Board may, from time to 

time, impose such charge(s) on members 

and member organizations as it deems 

appropriate to reimburse the Exchange, 

in whole or in part, for regulatory 

oversight services provided to the 

membership by the Exchange. 

Generally, the Exchange may only use 

regulatory fees ‘‘to fund the legal, 

regulatory and surveillance operations’’ 

of the Exchange.4
