COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–82498; File No. SR– 

NYSEAMER–2017–26] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE 

American LLC; Order Approving a 

Proposed Rule Change To Amend Rule 

971.1NY To Amend the Duration of a 

Customer Best Execution Auction 

January 12, 2018. 

I. Introduction 

On November 17, 2017, NYSE 

American LLC (‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘NYSE 

American’’) filed with the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) pursuant to Section 

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

of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 

thereunder,2 a proposed rule change to 

amend Rule 971.1NY (Electronic Cross 

Transactions) to modify the parameters 

for the duration of a Customer Best 

Execution (‘‘CUBE’’) Auction. The 

proposed rule change was published for 

comment in the Federal Register on 

December 4, 2017.3 The Commission 

received no comment letters on the 

proposed rule change. This order 

approves the proposed rule change. 

II. Description of the Proposed Rule 

Change 

CUBE is a process by which an ATP 

Holder may electronically submit for 

execution an order it represents as agent 

(‘‘CUBE Order’’) against principal 

interest or against any other order it 

represents as agent.4 When the 

Exchange receives a valid CUBE Order 

for auction processing, a Request for 

Responses (‘‘RFR’’) detailing the series, 

the side of the market, the size of the 

CUBE Order, and the limit price of the 

CUBE Order is sent to all ATP Holders 

that subscribe to receive RFR messages. 

Currently, the amount of time given to 

ATP Holders to respond with competing 

interest to trade against the CUBE Order 

(‘‘Response Time Interval’’) is randomly 

set by the CUBE mechanism for each 

auction but cannot be shorter than 500 

milliseconds or longer than 750 

milliseconds, unless the auction is 

concluded early.5 The Exchange 

proposes to revise the Response Time 

Interval to provide that the duration of 

a CUBE Auction shall be a random 

period of time within parameters
