5 15 U.S.C. 78(f)(b). 

6 In approving this rule change, the Commission 

notes that it has considered the proposal’s impact 

on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 

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

7 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). 

8 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2). 9 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

Thus, the Exchange proposes to add 

language to Rule 6.33(b) stating that a 

prohibition on concurrent registration as 

both a Market Maker and Floor Broker 

will not prevent an IMM or LMM from 

acting in an agency capacity for Linkage 

purposes. 

The Commission finds that the 

proposed rule change is consistent with 

the requirements of section 6(b) of the 

Act 5 and the rules and regulations 

thereunder applicable to a national 

securities exchange.6 In particular, the 

Commission finds that the proposed 

rule change is consistent with section 

6(b)(5) of the Act,7 which requires that 

a national securities exchange’s rules be 

designed to facilitate transactions in 

securities, to promote just and equitable 

principles of trade, to prevent 

fraudulent and manipulative acts and, 

in general, to protect investors and the 

public interest. The Commission notes 

that the practice of OTP Holders 

registering in the dual capacity of 

Market Maker and Floor Broker dates 

back to the days of floor-based, open 

outcry trading environment. The 

Commission also notes that the vast 

majority of trades on NYSE Arca now 

occur electronically, such that the need 

for dual registration by the OTP Holders 

may no longer be necessary. Further, the 

Commission notes that the Exchange 

stated that currently, there are no OTP 

Holders registered in this dual capacity, 

and the Exchange does not have any 

pending applications from existing OTP 

Holders to be dually registered in such 

capacity. 

The Commission believes that it is 

reasonable and consistent with the Act 

for the Exchange to delete Rule 6.38, 

and also promulgate new rule 

provisions within Rules 6.33 and 6.44 to 

prohibit dual registration by OTP 

Holders as Market Makers and Floor 

Brokers. The Commission recognizes 

that eliminating the dual registration of 

OTP Holders as Market Makers and 

Floor brokers will not affect the ability 

of LMMs and IMMs, who may continue 

to be called upon today, to act in an 

agency capacity, to send P/A Orders 

through Linkage. 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

section 19(b)(2) of the Act,8 that the 

proposed rule change (SR–NYSEArca–

2007–120) be, and hereby is, approved. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.9

Deputy Secretary.
