I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes extending the expiration date of the 
temporary amendments to Rules 10.9261 and 10.9830 as set forth in SR-
NYSENAT-2020-31 from December 31, 2021, to March 31, 2022, in 
conformity with recent changes by the Financial Industry Regulatory 
Authority, Inc. (``FINRA''). The proposed rule change would not make 
any changes to the text of NYSE National Rules 10.9261 and 10.9830. 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 extending the expiration date of the 
temporary amendments as set forth in SR-NYSENAT-2020-31 \4\ to Rules 
10.9261 (Evidence and Procedure in Hearing) and 10.9830 (Hearing) from 
December 31, 2021, to March 31, 2022 to harmonize with recent changes 
by FINRA to extend the expiration date of the temporary amendments to 
its Rules 9261 and 9830. SR-NYSENAT-2020-31 temporarily granted to the 
Chief or Deputy Chief Hearing Officer the authority to order that 
hearings be conducted by video conference if warranted by public health 
risks posed by in-person hearings during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. 
The proposed rule change would not make any changes to the text of 
Exchange Rules 10.9261 and 10.9830.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 90137 (October 8, 
2020), 85 FR 65087 (October 14, 2020) (SR-NYSENAT-2020-31) (``SR-
NYSENAT-2020-31'').
    \5\ The Exchange may submit a separate rule filing to extend the 
expiration date of the proposed extension beyond March 31, 2022 if 
the Exchange requires additional temporary relief from the rule 
requirements identified in SR-NYSENAT-2020-31. The amended NYSE 
National rules will revert back to their original state at the 
conclusion of the temporary relief period and any extension thereof.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background
    In 2018, NYSE National adopted disciplinary rules that are, with 
certain exceptions, substantially the same as the disciplinary rules of 
its affiliate NYSE American LLC, which are in turn substantially 
similar to the FINRA Rule 8000 Series and Rule 9000 Series, and which 
set forth rules for conducting investigations and enforcement 
actions.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 83289 (May 17, 
2018), 83 FR 23968, 23976 (May 23, 2018) (SR-NYSENAT-2018-02) 
(``2018 Approval Order'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In adopting disciplinary rules modeled on FINRA's rules, NYSE 
National adopted the hearing and evidentiary processes set forth in 
Rule 10.9261 and in Rule 10.9830 for hearings in matters involving 
temporary and permanent cease and desist orders under the Rule 10.9800 
Series. As adopted, the text of Rule 10.9261 and Rule 10.9830 are 
substantially the same as the FINRA rules with certain 
modifications.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In response to the COVID-19 global health crisis and the 
corresponding need to restrict in-person activities, on August 31, 
2020, FINRA filed with the Commission a proposed rule change for 
immediate effectiveness, SR-FINRA-2020-027, which allowed FINRA's 
Office of Hearing Officers (``OHO'') to conduct hearings, on a 
temporary basis, by video conference, if warranted by the current 
COVID-19-related public health risks posed by an in-person hearing. 
Among the rules FINRA amended were Rules 9261 and 9830.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 89737 (September 2, 
2020), 85 FR 55712 (September 9, 2020) (SR-FINRA-2020-027) (``SR-
FINRA-2020-027'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Given that FINRA and OHO administers disciplinary hearings on the 
Exchange's behalf, and that the public health concerns addressed by 
FINRA's amendments apply equally to Exchange disciplinary hearings, on 
September 29, 2020, the Exchange filed to temporarily amend Rule 
10.9261 and Rule 10.9830 to permit FINRA to conduct virtual hearings on 
its behalf.\9\ In December 2020, FINRA filed a proposed rule change, 
SR-FINRA-2020-042, to extend the expiration date of the temporary 
amendments in SR-FINRA-2020-027 from December 31, 2020, to April 30, 
2021.\10\ On December 22, 2020, the Exchange similarly filed to extend 
the temporary amendments to Rule 10.9261 and Rule 10.9830 to April 30, 
2021.\11\ On April 1, 2021, FINRA filed a proposed rule change, SR-
FINRA-2021-006, to extend the expiration date of the temporary rule 
amendments to, among other rules, FINRA Rule 9261 and 9830 from April 
30, 2021, to August 31, 2021.\12\ On April 20, 2021, the Exchange filed 
to extend the temporary amendments to Rule 10.9261 and Rule 10.9830 to 
August 31, 2021.\13\ On August 13, 2021, FINRA filed a proposed rule 
change, SR-FINRA-2021-019, to extend the expiration date of the 
temporary amendments to, among other rules, FINRA Rule 9261 and 9830 
from August 31, 2021, to December 31, 2021.\14\ On August 27, 2021, the 
Exchange filed to extend the temporary amendments to Rule 10.9261 and 
Rule 10.9830 to December 31, 2021, after which the temporary amendments 
will expire absent another proposed rule change filing by the 
Exchange.\15\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    While there are signs of improvement, FINRA has determined that 
much uncertainty remains for the coming months. The presence of the 
Delta variant, dissimilar vaccination rates throughout the United 
States, and the uptick in transmissions in many locations indicate that 
COVID-19 remains an active and real public health concern.\16\ Due to 
the uncertainty and the lack of a clear timeframe for a sustained and 
widespread abatement of COVID-19-related health concerns and 
corresponding restrictions,\17\ FINRA believes that there is a 
continued need for temporary relief beyond December 31, 2021.\18\ On 
December 7, 2021,

[[Page 1806]]

FINRA accordingly filed to extend the expiration date of the temporary 
rule amendments to, among other rules, FINRA Rule 9261 and 9830 from 
December 31, 2021, to March 31, 2022.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 93758 (December 13, 
2021), 86 FR 71695 (December 17, 2021) (SR-FINRA-2021-031) (``SR-
FINRA-2021-031''). FINRA noted that, for example, President Joe 
Biden on July 29, 2021, announced several measures to increase the 
number of people vaccinated against COVID-19 and to slow the spread 
of the Delta variant, including strengthening safety protocols for 
federal government employees and contractors. See https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/07/29/factsheet-president-biden-to-announce-new-actions-to-get-more-americansvaccinated-and-slow-the-spread-of-the-delta-variant/. 
Thereafter, the Biden Administration announced on November 4, 2021, 
details of two major vaccination policies to further help fight 
COVID-19. See https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/11/04/factsheet-biden-administration-announces-details-of-two-major-vaccination-policies/. Most recently, President 
Biden announced several new actions to help protect Americans 
against the Delta and Omicron variants. See https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/12/02/factsheet-president-biden-announces-new-actions-to-protect-americans-against-thedelta-and-omicron-variants-as-we-battle-covid-19-this-winter/. See SR-FINRA-2021-031, 86 FR at 71695, n. 6.
    \17\ For instance, FINRA noted that the Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (``CDC'') recently announced that the first 
confirmed case of COVID-19 caused by the Omicron variant was 
detected in the United States. See https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s1201-omicron-variant.html. The CDC also recommends 
that fully vaccinated people wear a mask in public indoor settings 
in areas of substantial or high transmission and noted that fully 
vaccinated people might choose to wear a mask regardless of the 
level of transmission, particularly if they are immunocompromised or 
at increased risk for severe disease from COVID-19. See https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated-guidance.html. Furthermore, as FINRA also noted, numerous states 
currently have COVID-19 restrictions in place. Six states (Hawaii, 
Illinois, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington) require most 
people to wear masks in indoor public places regardless of 
vaccination status, and three states (California, Connecticut, and 
New York) have mask mandates in indoor public places for those 
individuals who are unvaccinated. Several other states have mask 
mandates in certain settings, such as healthcare facilities, 
schools, and correctional facilities. See SR-FINRA-2021-031, 86 FR 
at 71696, n. 7.

    \19\ See SR-FINRA-2021-031, 86 FR at 71695.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposed Rule Change
    Consistent with FINRA's recent proposal, the Exchange proposes to 
extend the expiration date of the temporary rule amendments to NYSE 
National Rules 10.9261 and 10.9830 as set forth in SR-NYSENAT-2020-31 
from December 31, 2021, to March 31, 2022.
    As set forth in SR-FINRA 2021-031, while there are signs of 
improvement, much uncertainty remains for the coming months. The 
presence of the Delta variant, dissimilar vaccination rates throughout 
the United States, and the uptick in transmissions in many locations 
indicate that COVID-19 remains an active and real public health 
concern.\20\ Due to the uncertainty and the lack of a clear timeframe 
for a sustained and widespread abatement of COVID-19-related health 
concerns and corresponding restrictions,\21\ FINRA believes that there 
is a continued need for temporary relief beyond December 31, 2021.\22\ 
FINRA accordingly proposed to extend the expiration date of the 
temporary rule amendments from December 31, 2021, to March 31, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ See note 17, supra.
    \21\ See note 16, supra.
    \22\ See SR-FINRA-2021-031, 86 FR at 71695.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to similarly extend the expiration date of 
the temporary rule amendments to NYSE National Rules 10.9261 and 
10.9830 as set forth in SR-NYSENAT-2020-31 from December 31, 2021, to 
March 31, 2022. The Exchange agrees with FINRA that, while there are 
signs of improvement, much uncertainty remains for the coming months. 
The Exchange also agrees that, due to the uncertainty and the lack of a 
clear timeframe for a sustained and widespread abatement of COVID-19-
related health concerns and corresponding restrictions, for the reasons 
set forth in SR-FINRA-2021-031, there is a continued need for this 
temporary relief beyond December 31, 2021. The proposed change would 
permit OHO to continue to assess, based on critical COVID-19 data and 
criteria and the guidance of health and security consultants, whether 
an in-person hearing would compromise the health and safety of the 
hearing participants such that the hearing should proceed by video 
conference. As noted in SR-FINRA-2021-031, in deciding whether to 
schedule a hearing by video conference, OHO may consider a variety of 
other factors in addition to COVID-19 trends. Similarly, as noted in 
SR-FINRA-2021-031, in SR-FINRA-2020-027, FINRA provided a non-
exhaustive list of other factors OHO may take into consideration, 
including a hearing participant's individual health concerns and access 
to the connectivity and technology necessary to participate in a video 
conference hearing.\23\ The Exchange believes that this is a reasonable 
procedure to continue to follow for hearings under Rules 9261 and 9830 
chaired by a FINRA employee.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ See SR-FINRA-2021-031, 86 FR at 71695, n. 13.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As noted below, the Exchange has filed the proposed rule change for 
immediate effectiveness and has requested that the SEC waive the 
requirement that the proposed rule change not become operative for 30 
days after the date of the filing, so the Exchange can implement the 
proposed rule change immediately.
2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the 
Act,\24\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 
6(b)(5),\25\ 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 
the proposed rule change is designed to provide a fair procedure for 
the disciplining of members and persons associated with members, 
consistent with Sections 6(b)(7) and 6(d) of the Act.\26\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \25\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \26\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(7) & 78f(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change supports the 
objectives of the Act by providing greater harmonization between 
Exchange rules and FINRA rules of similar purpose, resulting in less 
burdensome and more efficient regulatory compliance. As such, the 
proposed rule change will foster cooperation and coordination with 
persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities and will 
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open 
market and a national market system.
    The proposed rule change, which extends the expiration date of the 
temporary amendments to Exchange rules consistent with FINRA's 
extension to its Rules 9261 and 9830 as set forth in SR-FINRA-2021-031, 
will permit the Exchange to continue to effectively conduct hearings 
during the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the current and frequently changing 
COVID-19 conditions and the uncertainty around when those conditions 
will see meaningful, widespread and sustained improvement, without this 
relief allowing OHO to proceed by video conference, some or all 
hearings may have to be postponed. The ability to conduct hearings by 
video conference will permit the adjudicatory functions of the 
Exchange's disciplinary rules to continue unabated, thereby avoiding 
protracted delays. The Exchange believes that this is especially 
important in matters where temporary and permanent cease and desist 
orders are sought because the proposed rule change would enable those 
hearings to continue to proceed without delay, thereby enabling the 
Exchange to continue to take immediate action to stop significant, 
ongoing customer harm, to the benefit of the investing public.
    As set forth in detail in SR-NYSENAT-2020-31, the temporary relief 
to permit hearings to be conducted via video conference maintains fair 
process and will continue to provide fair process consistent with 
Sections 6(b)(7) and 6(d) of the Act \27\ while striking an appropriate 
balance between providing fair process and enabling the Exchange to 
fulfill its statutory obligations to protect investors and maintain 
fair and orderly markets while avoiding the COVID-19-related public 
health risks for hearing participants. The Exchange notes that this 
proposal, like SR-NYSENAT-2020-31, provides only temporary relief. As 
proposed, the changes would be in place through March 31, 2022. As 
noted in SR-NYSENAT-2020-31 and above, the amended rules will revert 
back to their original state at the conclusion of the temporary relief 
period and, if applicable, any extension thereof.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \27\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(7) & 78f(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Accordingly, the proposed rule change extending this temporary 
relief is in the public interest and consistent with the Act's purpose.

[[Page 1807]]

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed temporary rule 
change will 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 intended to address competitive issues but is rather 
intended solely to provide continued temporary relief given the impacts 
of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related health and safety risks of 
conducting in-person activities. The Exchange believes that the 
proposed rule change will prevent unnecessary impediments to critical 
adjudicatory processes and its ability to fulfill its statutory 
obligations to protect investors and maintain fair and orderly markets 
that would otherwise result if the temporary amendments were to expire 
on December 31, 2021.

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 
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \28\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\29\ 
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)(iii) thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \28\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \29\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \30\ normally 
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the 
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b4(f)(6)(iii),\31\ the Commission 
may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the 
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked 
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal 
may become operative immediately upon filing. The Exchange has 
indicated that the proposed rule change to extend the expiration date 
will continue to prevent unnecessary impediments to its critical 
adjudicatory processes, and its ability to fulfill its statutory 
obligations to protect investors and maintain fair and orderly markets, 
that would otherwise result if the temporary amendments were to expire 
on December 31, 2021.\32\ Importantly, the Exchange has also stated 
that extending the relief provided in SR-NYSENAT-2020-31 immediately 
upon filing and without a 30-day operative delay will allow the 
Exchange to continue critical adjudicatory and review processes in a 
reasonable and fair manner and meet its critical investor protection 
goals, while also following best practices with respect to the health 
and safety of hearing participants.\33\ The Commission also notes that 
this proposal extends without change the temporary relief previously 
provided by SR-NYSENAT-2020-31.\34\ As proposed, the changes would be 
in place through March 31, 2022 and the amended rules will revert back 
to their original state at the conclusion of the temporary relief 
period and, if applicable, any extension thereof.\35\ For these 
reasons, the Commission believes that waiver of the 30-day operative 
delay for this proposal is consistent with the protection of investors 
and the public interest. Accordingly, the Commission hereby waives the 
30-day operative delay and designates the proposal operative upon 
filing.\36\

respect to FINRA employees in granting FINRA's request to waive the 
30-day operative delay so that SR-FINRA-2021-031 would become 
operative immediately upon filing).
    \34\ See supra note 4.
    \35\ See supra note 5. As noted above, the Exchange states that 
if it requires temporary relief from the rule requirements 
identified in this proposal beyond March 31, 2022 it may submit a 
separate rule filing to extend the effectiveness of the temporary 
relief under these rules.
    \36\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay, 
the Commission has considered the proposed rule change's impact on 
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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) \37\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed 
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
