SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–58399; File No. SR–

NYSEArca–2008–88] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Notice 

of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness 

of Rule Change by NYSE Arca, Inc. To 

Eliminate the Requirement That Orders 

Sent Via the InterMarket Linkage 

System and Broker Dealer Orders 

Receive the Same Billing Treatment 

August 20, 2008. 

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 August 

13, 2008, NYSE Arca, Inc. (‘‘NYSE 

Arca’’ or 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 revise 

certain requirements pertaining to 

Broker Dealer Transaction Fees. 

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 

Presently, executions on NYSE Arca 

resulting from Linkage Orders are 

subject to the same billing treatment as 

other Broker Dealer orders. Assessing 

the same fees for both Broker Dealer 

orders sent directly to the Exchange and 

Linkage Orders stems from prior 

approval orders that established the 

pilot program for Linkage Fees.4 The 

Exchange proposes to eliminate this 

requirement that Linkage Orders and 

Broker Dealer orders receive the same 

billing treatment. In doing so, the 

Exchange will have greater flexibility in 

designing and implementing fees within 

its Post/Take pricing model. By this 

filing, the Exchange is not otherwise 

amending or revising its schedule of 

fees. Any future amendment to the 

Exchange’s schedule of fees will be, of 

course, subject to a filing with the 

Commission.5

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed rule change is consistent with 

the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,6

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

Act,7 in particular, in that it is designed 

to provide for the equitable allocation of 

reasonable dues, fees, and other charges 

among its members and other persons 

using its facilities. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

The Exchange does not believe that 

the proposed rule change will impose

any burden on competition that is not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act. 

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 foregoing rule change is effective 

upon filing pursuant to section 

19(b)(3)(A) 8 of the Act and 

subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b–4 9

thereunder, because it pertains to a due, 

fee, or other charge imposed by NYSE 

Arca. 

At any time within 60 days of the 

filing of the proposed rule change, the 

Commission may summarily abrogate 

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.
