[Release No. 34–58444; File No. SR–

NYSEArca–2008–96] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE 

Arca, Inc.; Notice of Filing and Order 

Granting Accelerated Approval of 

Proposed Rule Change To Establish 

NYSE Arca Realtime Reference Prices 

Service 

August 29, 2008. 

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

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on August 

28, 2008, NYSE Arca, Inc. (the 

‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘NYSE Arca’’) filed with 

the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the 

proposed rule change as described in 

Items I and II below, which Items have 

been prepared by the Exchange. The 

Commission is publishing this notice to 

solicit comments on the proposed rule 

change from interested persons, and is 

approving the proposal on an 

accelerated basis. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

The Exchange proposes to establish a 

pilot test NYSE Arca Realtime Reference 

Prices service. This new NYSE Arcaonly market data service allows a 

vendor to redistribute on a real-time 

basis last sale prices of transactions that 

take place on the Exchange (‘‘NYSE 

Arca Realtime Reference Prices’’) and to 

establish a flat monthly fee for that 

service. There is no new rule text. 

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 III 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 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

i. The Service. The Exchange proposes 

to conduct a pilot program that will 

allow the Exchange to test the viability 

of NYSE Arca Realtime Reference 

Prices. The Exchange intends for the 

NYSE Arca Realtime Reference Prices 

service to accomplish three goals: 

1. To provide a low-cost service that 

will make real-time prices widely 

available to millions of casual investors; 

2. To provide vendors with a real-time 

substitute for delayed prices; and 

3. To relieve vendors of 

administrative burdens. 

This pilot program is similar to pilot 

programs that the Nasdaq Stock Market, 

Inc. (‘‘Nasdaq’’) 3 and the New York 

Stock Exchange LLC (‘‘NYSE’’) 4

recently established. 

During the pilot program, the NYSE 

Arca Realtime Reference Prices service 

would allow Internet service providers, 

traditional market data vendors, and 

others (‘‘NYSE Arca-Only Vendors’’) to 

make available NYSE Arca Realtime 

Reference Prices on a real-time basis.5

The NYSE Arca Realtime Reference 

Price information would include last 

sale prices for all securities that trade on 

the Exchange. It would include only 

prices. It would not include the size of 

each trade and would not include bid/ 

asked quotations. 

The product responds to the 

requirements for distribution of realtime last sale prices over the Internet for 

reference purposes, rather than as a 

basis for making trading decisions. The 

Exchange contemplates that Internet 

service providers with a substantial 

customer base and traditional vendors 

with large numbers of less active 

investors are potential subscribers to 

NYSE Arca Realtime Reference Prices. 

During the pilot period, the Exchange 

will not permit NYSE Arca-Only 

Vendors to provide NYSE Arca Realtime 

Reference Prices in a context in which 

a trading or order-routing decision can 

be implemented unless the NYSE ArcaOnly Vendor also provides consolidated 

displays of Network A last sale prices 

available in an equivalent manner, as 

Rule 603(c)(1) of Regulation NMS 

requires. 

The service eliminates some of the 

administrative burdens associated with 

the current distribution of real-time 

CTA prices. It features a flat, fixed 

monthly vendor fee, no user-based fees, 

no vendor reporting requirements, and 

no professional or non-professional 

subscriber agreements. It will make 

NYSE Arca Realtime Reference Prices 

widely available and without charge to 

an unlimited number of casual 

investors. 

ii. The Fees. For the duration of the 

pilot program, the Exchange proposes to 

establish a monthly flat fee that will 

entitle an NYSE Arca-Only Vendor to 

receive access to the NYSE Arca 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 173 / Friday, September 5, 2008 / Notices 51873 

6See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 28407 

(September 6, 1990), 55 FR 37276 (September 10, 

1990) (File No. 4–281); and 49185 (February 4, 

2004), 69 FR 6704 (February 11, 2004) (SR–CTA/ 

CQ–2003–01). 

Realtime Reference Prices datafeed. The 

NYSE Arca-Only Vendor may use that 

access to provide unlimited NYSE Arca 

Realtime Reference Prices to an 

unlimited number of the NYSE ArcaOnly Vendor’s subscribers and 

customers. The Exchange is not 

proposing to impose any device or enduser fee for the NYSE Arca-Only 

Vendors’ distribution of NYSE Arca 

Realtime Reference Prices. 

The Exchange proposes to set the flat 

fee at $30,000 per month. The NYSE 

Arca-Only Vendor would agree to 

identify the NYSE Arca trade price by 

placing the text ‘‘NYSE Arca Data’’ in 

close proximity to the display of each 

NYSE Arca Realtime Reference Price or 

series of NYSE Arca Realtime Reference 

Prices, or by complying with such other 

identification requirement as to which 

NYSE may agree. 

The NYSE Arca-Only Vendor may 

make NYSE Arca Realtime Reference 

Prices available without having to 

differentiate between professional 

subscribers and nonprofessional 

subscribers, without having to account 

for the extent of access to the data, and 

without having to report the number of 

users. 

The flat fee enables Internet service 

providers and traditional vendors that 

have large numbers of casual investors 

as subscribers and customers to 

contribute to the Exchange’s operating 

costs in a manner that is appropriate for 

their means of distribution. 

In setting the level of the NYSE Arca 

Realtime Reference Prices pilot program 

fees, the Exchange took into 

consideration several factors, including: 

(1) The fees that Nasdaq and NYSE 

are charging for similar services during 

their pilot periods; 

(2) Consultation with some of the 

entities that the Exchange anticipates 

will be the most likely to take advantage 

of the proposed service; 

(3) The contribution of market data 

revenues that the Exchange believes is 

appropriate for entities that provide 

market data to large numbers of 

investors, which are the entities most 

likely to take advantage of the proposed 

service; 

(4) The contribution that revenues 

accruing from the proposed fees will 

make to meeting the overall costs of the 

Exchange’s operations; 

(5) Projected losses to the Exchange’s 

other sources of market data revenues 

(e.g., from its share of revenues derived 

from Network A nonprofessional 

subscriber fees) as a result of the NYSE 

Arca Realtime Reference Prices service 

competing with those services; 

(6) The savings in administrative and 

reporting costs that the NYSE Arca 

Realtime Reference Prices service will 

provide to NYSE Arca-Only Vendors; 

and 

(7) The fact that the proposed fees 

provide an alternative to existing 

Network A fees under the CTA Plan, an 

alternative that vendors will purchase 

only if they determine that the 

perceived benefits outweigh the cost. 

In short, the Exchange believes that 

the proposed NYSE Arca Realtime 

Reference Prices pilot program fees 

would reflect an equitable allocation of 

its overall costs to users of its facilities. 

iii. Contracts. As with the Nasdaq and 

NYSE pilot programs, NYSE Arca 

proposes to allow NYSE Arca-Only 

Vendors to provide NYSE Arca Realtime 

Reference Prices without requiring the 

end-users to enter into contracts for the 

benefit of the Exchange. 

Instead, the Exchange will require 

NYSE Arca-Only Vendors to provide a 

readily visible hyperlink that will send 

the end-user to a warning notice about 

the end-user’s receipt and use of market 

data. The notice would be similar to the 

notice that vendors provide today when 

providing CTA delayed data services. 

The Exchange will require NYSE 

Arca-Only Vendors to enter into the 

form of ‘‘vendor’’ agreement into which 

the CTA and CQ Plans require 

recipients of the Network A datafeeds to 

enter (the Network A Vendor Form). 

The Network A Vendor Form will 

authorize the NYSE Arca-Only Vendor 

to provide the NYSE Arca Realtime 

Reference Prices service to its 

subscribers and customers. 

The Network A Participants drafted 

the Network A Vendor Form as a onesize-fits-all form to capture most 

categories of market data dissemination. 

It is sufficiently generic to accommodate 

NYSE Arca Realtime Reference Prices. 

The Commission has approved the 

Network A Vendor Form.6

The Exchange will supplement the 

Network A Vendor Form with an 

Exhibit C that will provide abovedescribed terms and conditions that are 

unique to the NYSE Arca Realtime 

Reference Prices service. The proposed 

Exhibit C is substantially similar to the 

Exhibit C that NYSE uses for its 

counterpart service and is attached to 

this proposed rule change as Exhibit 5. 

The supplemental Exhibit C terms and 

conditions would govern: 

• The restriction against providing 

the service in the context of a trading or 

order-routing service; 

• The replacement of end-user 

agreements with a hyperlink to a notice; 

• The substance of the notice; 

• The NYSE Arca Data labeling 

requirement; 

• The fact that the vendor’s 

authorization to provide the service will 

terminate at the expiration date of the 

pilot program unless the Exchange 

submits a proposed rule change to 

extend the program or to make it 

permanent and the Commission 

approves that proposed rule change; and 

• Because of the experimental nature 

of the program, the requirements that 

the vendor (a) share with the Exchange 

any research it may conduct regarding 

the pilot program or the results of its 

experience with the program and (b) 

consult with the Exchange regarding its 

views of NYSE Arca Realtime Reference 

Prices. 

iv. Duration of Pilot Program. The 

Exchange proposes to commence the 

pilot program upon the Commission’s 

grant of accelerated effectiveness. 

Both the Nasdaq and NYSE pilot 

programs are currently scheduled to end 

on November 1, 2008. NYSE Arca 

proposes to establish that same date as 

the end date for its pilot program. Prior 

to the end of the pilot period, the 

Exchange will assess its experience with 

the product. It either will submit a 

proposed rule change that seeks to 

extend or modify the pilot program or 

to make it permanent, or will announce 

publicly that it does not seek to extend 

the pilot program beyond the program’s 

termination date. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The basis under the Act for this 

proposed rule change is the requirement 

under Section 6(b)(4) that an exchange 

have rules that provide for the equitable 

allocation of reasonable dues, fees and 

other charges among its members and 

other persons using its facilities and the 

requirements under Section 6(b)(5) that 

the rules of an exchange be designed to 

promote just and equitable principles of 

trade and not to permit unfair 

discrimination between customers, 

issuers, brokers or dealers. 

The proposed rule change would 

benefit investors by facilitating their 

prompt access to widespread, free, realtime pricing information contained in 

the NYSE Arca Realtime Reference 

Prices service. In addition, the Exchange 

believes that the proposed fee would 

allow entities that provide market data 

to large numbers of investors, which are 

the entities most likely to take 

advantage of the proposed service, to 

make an appropriate contribution 

towards meeting the overall costs of the 

Exchange’s operations.

7 In approving this proposed rule change, the 

Commission has considered the proposed rule’s 

impact on efficiency, competition, and capital 

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

8 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4). 

9 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).

11 17 CFR 242.603(a). 

12NYSE Arca is an exclusive processor of its last 

sale data under Section 3(a)(22)(B) of the Act, 15 

U.S.C. 78c(a)(22)(B), which defines an exclusive 

processor as, among other things, an exchange that 

distributes data on an exclusive basis on its own 

behalf. 

13See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57917 

(June 4, 2008), 73 FR 32751 (June 10, 2008) (Notice 

of Proposed Order Approving Proposal by NYSE 

Arca, Inc. to Establish Fees for Certain Market Data 

and Request for Comment) (‘‘Draft Approval 

Order’’). 

14See supra notes 3 and 4. 

The Exchange notes that its proposed 

fee compares favorably with the fees 

that Nasdaq and NYSE are charging for 

similar services during their pilot 

periods. Because the proposed fee is 

substantially lower than those of Nasdaq 

and NYSE, it offers any vendor that 

wishes to provide its customers with a 

single market’s data (as opposed to a 

more expensive consolidated data 

service) a less expensive alternative to 

Nasdaq and NYSE. In addition, for that 

lower fee, vendors receive Exchange 

prices for securities of Networks A, B 

and C, something that differentiates the 

Exchange’s product from the NYSE 

product. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

The pilot program proposes to 

provide an alternative to existing fees 

and does not alter or rescind any 

existing fees. In addition, it amounts to 

a competitive response to the products 

that Nasdaq and NYSE have 

commenced to make available. For those 

reasons, the Exchange does not believe 

that this proposed rule change will 

result in 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 

The Exchange has discussed this 

proposed rule change with those entities 

that the Exchange believes would be the 

most likely to take advantage of the 

proposed NYSE Arca Realtime 

Reference Prices service by becoming 

NYSE Arca-Only Vendors. While those 

entities have not submitted formal, 

written comments on the proposal, the 

Exchange has incorporated some of their 

ideas into the proposal and this 

proposed rule change reflects their 

input. The Exchange has not received 

any unsolicited written comments from 

members or other interested parties. 

III. Solicitation of Comments 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.

the Commission’s Public Reference 

Room, on official business days between 

the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Copies

information that you wish to make

NYSEArca–2008–96 and should be

IV. Commission’s Findings and Order 

Granting Accelerated Approval of a 

Proposed Rule Change 

The Commission finds that the 

proposed rule change, to be 

implemented on a pilot basis, is 

consistent with the requirements of the 

Act and the rules and regulations 

thereunder applicable to a national 

securities exchange.7 In particular, it is 

consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the 

Act,8 which requires that the rules of a 

national securities exchange provide for 

the equitable allocation of reasonable 

dues, fees, and other charges among its 

members and issuers and other parties 

using its facilities, and Section 6(b)(5) of 

the Act,9 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 change is consistent with 

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

Act,10 which requires that the rules of 

an exchange not impose any burden on 

competition not necessary or 

appropriate in furtherance of the 

purposes of the Act. Finally, the 

Commission finds that the proposed 

rule change is consistent with Rule 

603(a) of Regulation NMS,11 adopted 

under Section 11A(c)(1) of the Act, 

which requires an exclusive processor 

that distributes information with respect 

to quotations for or transactions in an 

NMS stock to do so on terms that are 

fair and reasonable and that are not 

unreasonably discriminatory.12

The Commission notes that the flat 

monthly fee of $30,000 for the new 

market data product, NYSE Arca 

Realtime Reference Prices, would be 

imposed on a pilot basis until October 

31, 2008. On June 4, 2008, the 

Commission approved for public 

comment a draft approval order that sets 

forth a market-based approach for 

analyzing proposals by self-regulatory 

organizations to impose fees for ‘‘noncore’’ market data products that would 

encompass the NYSE Arca Realtime 

Reference Prices.13 The Commission 

believes that NYSE Arca’s proposal is 

consistent with the Act for the reasons 

noted preliminarily in the Draft 

Approval Order. In addition, the 

Commission notes that it recently 

approved similar NYSE and Nasdaq 

proposals to provide last sale prices to 

market data vendors for a fee on a pilot 

basis until October 31, 2008.14 Pending

15 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2). 

16 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

review by the Commission of comments 

received on the Draft Approval Order, 

and final Commission action thereon, 

the Commission believes that approving 

NYSE Arca’s proposal on a pilot basis 

would be beneficial to investors and in 

the public interest, in that it should 

result in broad public dissemination of 

additional real-time pricing information. 

Therefore, the Commission is approving 

NYSE Arca’s proposed fees for a pilot 

period until October 31, 2008. The 

broader approach ultimately taken by 

the Commission with respect to noncore market data fees will necessarily 

guide Commission action regarding fees 

for the NYSE Arca Realtime Reference 

Prices beyond the pilot period. 

The Commission finds good cause for 

approving the proposed rule change 

before the thirtieth day after the date of 

publication of notice of filing thereof in 

the Federal Register. Accelerating 

approval of this proposal should benefit 

investors by facilitating their prompt 

access to widespread, free, real-time 

pricing information contained in the 

NYSE Arca Realtime Reference Prices. 

In addition, the Commission notes that 

the proposal is approved for a pilot 

period to expire on October 31, 2008, 

while the Commission analyzes 

comments on the Draft Approval Order. 

Therefore, the Commission finds good 

cause, consistent with Section 19(b)(2) 

of the Act,15 to approve the proposed 

rule change on an accelerated basis. 

V. Conclusion 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

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

proposed rule change (SR–NYSEArca–

2008–96) is hereby approved on an 

accelerated basis until October 31, 2008. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.16
