actual number of orders and the number of shares 

represented by those orders. With respect to the 

total number of shares executed on NYSE on any 

given trading day, MOC and LOC orders generally 

account for less than 10%.’’ See NYSE’s Response 

Letter at 2. 

11See NYSE Response Letter at 3–4. 

12 In approving these proposed rule changes, the 

Commission has considered the proposed rule’s 

impact on efficiency, competition, and capital 

formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).

believes that the Order Imbalance 

Information that all participants receive 

beginning at 3:45 p.m. is more accurate, 

timely, and complete, and is more 

material to investors. Finally, NYSE 

disagrees that the proposal is similar to 

flash orders. NYSE notes that the Order 

Imbalance Information is not actionable 

prior to 15 minutes before the close of 

trading and is subject to change or 

cancellation and, therefore, MOC/LOC 

orders cannot be executed before the 

public receives the information.11

IV. Discussion and Commission 

Findings 

After careful consideration, the 

Commission finds that the proposed 

rule changes are consistent with the 

requirements of the Act and the rules 

and regulations thereunder applicable to 

a national securities exchange.12 In 

particular, the proposed rule changes 

are consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the 

Act,13 which requires, among other 

things, that the rules of a national 

securities exchange be designed to 

promote just and equitable principles of 

trade, 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, and 

not be designed to permit unfair 

discrimination between customers, 

issuers, brokers, or dealers. The 

Commission also finds that the 

proposed rule changes are consistent 

with the provisions of Section 6(b)(8) of 

the Act,14 which require that the rules 

of an exchange not impose any burden 

on competition not necessary or 

appropriate in furtherance of the 

purposes of the Act. 

The proposals would allow Exchange 

systems to disseminate the Order 

Imbalance Information directly to Floor 

brokers’ handheld devices 15 beginning 

two hours prior to the scheduled close. 

The Exchanges’ rules currently only 

permit Floor brokers to obtain this and 

other market information on a one-off 

basis from DMMs as ‘‘market probes’’ 

under Rule 115. The proposal would 

automate the process and allow Floor 

brokers to receive Order Imbalance 

Information more frequently and 

quickly. Thus, the proposal would 

permit information Floor brokers to 

obtain certain market information (i.e., 

Order Imbalance Information) that they 

are already permitted to obtain under 

the Exchanges’ current rules as part of 

‘‘market probes’’ under Rule 115, albeit 

in a more technologically advanced and 

more efficient format. The Commission 

notes that the Exchanges have 

represented that the dissemination of 

this information would be limited to the 

Floor broker’s handheld devices, and 

that the electronic datafeed cannot be 

automatically forwarded or 

retransmitted.16 The Commission finds 

that the proposal is consistent with the 

requirements of the Act. 

Finally, the Commission notes that 

this order does not approve any prior 

dissemination of Order Imbalance 

Information by the Exchanges that may 

have been inconsistent with the 

approved rules of the Exchanges then in 

effect. 

V. Conclusion 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,17 that the 

proposed rule changes (SR–NYSE– 

2010–20 and SR–NYSEAmex–2010–25) 

be, and they hereby are, approved. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.18
