###### Securities and Exchange Commission

          - [Release No. 34-62850; File No. SR-NYSEArca-2010-80]

                    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 27, 2010, NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange” or “NYSE Arca”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II 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 adopt Commentary .04 to Rule 6.47A related to the exposure of Reserve Orders. The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange, the Commission's Public Reference Room, and                     *http://www.nyse.com.*

## 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 purpose of the proposal is to adopt a Commentary to NYSE Arca Rule 6.47A to specify that the exposure requirement contained in subsection (i) of the Rule is satisfied with respect to the non-displayed reserve portion of a Reserve Order if the displayable portion is displayed at its displayable price for one second. A Reserve Order is an order where only a portion of the full size is included in the Exchange's disseminated quotation.[4]                                          The displayed size is executed according to the Exchange's regular priority rules, and is refreshed with additional volume from the non-displayed portion of the order. The non-displayed portion of the Reserve Order is available for execution only after the Exchange's displayed quote is fully exhausted.                

                    Under the proposed commentary, after entering a Reserve Order, an OTP Holder may enter a contra-side order for its own account or a contra-side order that was solicited from another broker-dealer that would execute against the displayable and non-displayed portions of the order so long as the displayable portion of the order was displayed on NYSE Arca (                    *i.e.,*                     the price of the order is at the NYSE Arca Best Bid/Offer) for at least one second. This proposed Commentary is the same as an existing Commentary to the rule of the Nasdaq Options Market that contains the same exposure requirements as NYSE Arca Rule 6.47A.[5]                                          Accordingly, the Commission has previously determined that display of the displayable portion of a reserve order is sufficient to satisfy the exposure requirements of NYSE Arca Rule 6.47A(i).                

#### 2. Statutory Basis

                    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act [6]                                          in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act, in that it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, remove impediments to and perfect the mechanisms of a free and open market and a national market system and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. In particular, the proposal is the same as an existing rule of another exchange,[7]                                          and will provide OTP Holders with certainty with respect to the applicable exposure requirements for reserve orders.                

### 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                           ( print page 55622)                        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 Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act [8]                                          and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.[9]                                          Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.                

At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend 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.
