17 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). 18 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

able to carry out the purposes of the 

Exchange Act and to comply, and to 

enforce compliance by its exchange 

members and persons associated with 

its exchange members, with the 

provisions of the Exchange Act, the 

rules and regulations thereunder, and 

the rules of NYSE MKT. The Delaware 

trust was implemented in response to 

potential concerns arising under nonU.S. law and regulation at a time when 

NYSE MKT was owned by a company 

with substantial holdings of non-U.S. 

securities exchanges, substantial nonU.S. board representation, and explicit 

obligations on the part of its board to 

give due consideration to matters of 

non-U.S. law and the interests of nonU.S. stakeholders. In light of the 

elimination of these concerns as 

discussed above, NYSE MKT believes 

that termination of the Delaware trust is 

consistent with Section 6(b)(1). 

NYSE MKT also believes that this 

filing furthers the objectives of Section 

6(b)(5) of the Exchange Act 17 because 

the proposed rule change would be 

consistent with and facilitate a 

governance and regulatory structure that 

is designed to prevent fraudulent and 

manipulative acts and practices, to 

promote just and equitable principles of 

trade, to foster cooperation and 

coordination with persons engaged in 

regulating, clearing, settling, processing 

information with respect to, and 

facilitating transactions in securities, 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. As discussed above, the 

Exchange believes that termination of 

the Delaware trust will remove 

impediments to the operation of NYSE 

MKT by eliminating certain expenses 

and administrative burdens as well as 

the potential for uncertainty among 

analysts and investors as to the practical 

implications of the Delaware trust on 

NYSE MKT as a marketplace and as a 

significant asset of ICE. For the same 

reasons, the proposed rule change is 

also designed to protect investors as 

well as the public interest. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

NYSE MKT 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 Exchange Act. 

Indeed, the proposed rule change would 

eliminate an earlier arrangement 

intended in part to address potential 

competitive issues in the European 

securities markets that have abated as a 

result of ICE’s sale of the Euronext 

securities exchanges in June 2014. The 

proposed rule change results in no 

concentration or other changes of 

ownership of exchanges. 

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 

Within 45 days of the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register or within such longer period 

up to 90 days after publication (i) as the 

Commission may designate if it finds 

such longer period to be appropriate 

and publishes its reasons for so finding 

or (ii) as to which the self-regulatory 

organization consents, the Commission 

will: 

(A) by order approve or disapprove 

the proposed rule change, or 

(B) institute proceedings to determine 

whether the proposed rule change 

should be disapproved. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Women’s Business Council 

(NWBC) is a non-partisan federal 

advisory council created to serve as an 

independent source of advice and 

counsel to the President, Congress, and 

the U.S. Small Business Administration 

on economic issues of importance to 

women business owners. 

NWBC is undertaking a research 

study that will explore how corporate 

supplier diversity programs have and 

can be used to support the growth of 

women-owned businesses (WOBs). Data 

will be collected using surveys, focus 

groups and telephone interviews. 

This study will build on the existing 

body of knowledge about the 

opportunities and challenges WOBs 

have faced in their experiences with 

corporate supplier diversity programs; 

the perceived and actual value 

corporations gain by offering supplier 

diversity programs; how corporations 

intentionally support the success of 

WOBs; and what factors are most 

critical to the success of supplier 

diversity programs—from the 

perspective of both women 

entrepreneurs and corporations. 

NWBC will use the resulting report 

from this data collection to inform its 

annual report to the President, Congress, 

and the SBA on policy and program 

recommendations to support the growth 

of women-owned businesses. 

Solicitation of Public Comments 

SBA is requesting comments on (a) 

Whether the collection of information is 

necessary for the agency to properly 

perform its functions; (b) whether the 

burden estimates are accurate; (c) 

whether there are ways to minimize the 

burden, including through the use of 

automated techniques or other forms of 

information technology; and (d) whether 

there are ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information. 

Summary of Information Collection 

Title: Women’s Participation in 

Corporate Supplier Diversity. 

Description of Respondents: 

Respondents in the study will be 

women business owners and managers 

of corporate supplier diversity 

programs. A random selection of women 

business owners across the United 

States will be invited to complete a 

survey regarding their experiences with 

corporate supplier diversity programs. 

To delve more deeply into the 

perceptions and opinions about 

corporate supplier diversity programs, 

focus groups with women business 

owners will be held in Washington, DC, 

New York, NY, Chicago, IL, and Los 

Angeles, CA. Individual interviews will 

be conducted with managers of 

corporate supplier diversity programs in 

order to explore characteristics of 

corporate supplier diversity programs 

and factors that contribute to their 

success in meeting targets for 

participation of women owned 

businesses. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Total Estimated Annual Responses 

The study anticipates that 

approximately 400 surveys will be 

completed by women business owners; 

that there will be a maximum of 96 

focus group participants (no more than 

12 persons for each of 8 focus groups); 

and 20 individual interviews will be 

conducted. Potential participants will 

be identified through organizations that 

certify and provide services that 

facilitate the growth of women owned 

businesses. 

Total Estimated Annual Hour Burden 

It is estimated that survey 

respondents will spend a maximum of 

30 minutes completing the 

questionnaire. Focus groups 

participants will spend approximately 

120 minutes completing a prediscussion questionnaire, engaging in 

the focus group discussion and traveling 

to and from the focus group location. 

Interviews with corporate supplier 

diversity managers will require 

approximately 60 minutes. 

The total annual time burden is 

estimated at 417 hours for completion of 

all aspects of data collection. To 

estimate the annualized cost of this time 

burden, we assumed 2,000 annual 

working hours and an annual salary of 

$75,000, which is the median salary of 

small business owners as reported by 

PayScale Human Resources 1, resulting 

in a cost per participant of $0.63. For 

survey respondents, the total annualized 

time burden would be would be $18.90 

per participant or a total of $7,560; for 

focus group participants, it would be 

$75.60 or a total of $7,257.60; and for 

interview respondents it would be 

$37.80 or a total of $756.00. 

In order to obtain 96 focus 

participants, it is estimated that 300 

contacts will be needed. Of those 204 

individuals who are contacted and 

screened, but who are not eligible, 

willing, or able to participate in the 

focus groups, the time burden is 

approximately five minutes. This adds 

an additional annual time burden of 

$642.60. 

In total, the time burden cost for this 

study is estimated at $16,216.20.
