COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–82418; File No. SR–NYSE– 

2017–70] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New 

York Stock Exchange LLC; Notice of 

Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of 

Proposed Rule Change To Amend Its 

Price List To Waive New Firm 

Application Fees for Applicants 

Seeking Only To Obtain a Bond 

Trading License for 2018 and Waive 

the BTL Fee for 2018 

December 28, 2017. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) 1 of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 

‘‘Act’’) 2 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,3

notice is hereby given that, on December 

21, 2017, New York Stock Exchange 

LLC (the ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(the ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule 

change as described in Items I, II, and 

III below, which Items have been 

prepared by the self-regulatory 

organization. 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 to (i) waive new firm 

application fees for applicants seeking 

only to obtain a bond trading license 

(‘‘BTL’’) for 2018; and (ii) waive the BTL 

fee for 2018. The Exchange proposes to 

implement the fee changes effective 

January 2, 2018. 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 to amend its 

Price List to (i) waive new firm 

application fees for applicants seeking 

only to obtain a BTL for 2018; and (iii) 

[sic] waive the BTL fee for 2018. The 

Exchange proposes to implement the fee 

changes effective January 2, 2018. 

The Exchange currently charges a 

New Firm Fee ranging from $2,500 to 

$20,000, depending on the type of firm, 

that is charged per application for any 

broker-dealer that applies to be 

approved as an Exchange member 

organization. The Exchange proposes to 

waive the New Firm Fee for 2018 for 

new member organization applicants 

that are seeking only to obtain a BTL 

and not trade equities at the Exchange. 

The proposed waiver of the New Firm 

Fee would be available only to 

applicants seeking approval as a new 

member organization, including 

carrying firms, introducing firms, or 

non-public organizations, that would be 

seeking to obtain a BTL at the Exchange 

and not trade equities. Further, if a new 

firm that is approved as a member 

organization and has had the New Firm 

Fee waived converts a BTL to a full 

trading license within one year of 

approval, the New Firm Fee would be 

charged retroactively. The Exchange 

believes that charging the New Firm Fee 

retroactively within a year of approval 

is appropriate because it would 

discourage applicants to claim that they 

are applying for a BTL solely to avoid 

New Firm Fees. 

Additionally, the Exchange currently 

charges a BTL fee of $1,000 per year. 

The Exchange proposes to amend the 

Price List to waive the BTL fee for 2018. 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed fee changes would provide 

increased incentives for bond trading 

firms that are not currently Exchange 

member organizations to apply for 

Exchange membership and a BTL. The 

Exchange believes that having more 

member organizations trading on the 

Exchange’s bond platform would benefit 

investors through the additional display 

of liquidity and increased execution 

opportunities in Exchange-traded bonds 

at the Exchange. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed rule change is consistent with 

Section 6(b) of the Act,4 in general, and 

furthers the objectives of Sections 

6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,5 in 

particular, because it provides for the 

equitable allocation of reasonable dues, 

fees, and other charges among its 

members, issuers and other persons 

using its facilities and does not unfairly 

discriminate between customers, 

issuers, brokers or dealers. 

The Exchange believes that it is 

reasonable to waive the New Firm Fee 

and the annual BTL fee for 2018 to 

provide an incentive for bond trading 

firms to apply for Exchange membership 

and a BTL. The Exchange believes that 

providing an incentive for bond trading 

firms that are not currently Exchange 

member organizations to apply for 

membership and a BTL would 

encourage market participants to 

become members of the Exchange and 

bring additional liquidity to the only
