Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE

Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed 

Rule Change Adopting Commentary 

.06 to Rule 935NY Related to the 

Exposure of Reserve Orders 

September 3, 2010. 

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 Amex LLC (the 

‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘NYSE Amex’’) 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 .06 to Rule 935NY 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 Amex 

Rule 935NY to specify that the exposure

9 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6)(iii) requires the Exchange to give the 

Commission written notice of the Exchange’s intent 

to file the proposed rule change along with a brief 

description and text of the proposed rule change, 

at least five business days prior to the date of filing 

of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time 

as designated by the Commission. The Exchange 

has satisfied this requirement. 10 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

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 interpretation, 

after entering a Reserve Order, an ATP 

Holder may enter a contra-side order for 

its own account or a contra-side order 

that was solicited from another brokerdealer 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 Amex (i.e., the price of the order 

is at the NYSE Amex 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 Amex 

Rule 935NY.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 

Amex Rule 935NY(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 

ATP 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 

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. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments 

Interested persons are invited to

change is consistent with the Act.
