###### Securities and Exchange Commission

          - [Release No. 34-73620; File No. SR-NYSEMKT-2014-96]

                    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 November 7, 2014, NYSE MKT LLC (the “Exchange” or “NYSE MKT”) 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 Change to the NYSE MKT LLC Equities Proprietary Market Data Fee Schedule (“Market Data Fee Schedule”) regarding non-display use fees.

                    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site at                     *www.nyse.com,*                     at the principal office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.                

## 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 Exchange proposes a change to the Market Data Fee Schedule regarding non-display use fees for NYSE MKT OpenBook, NYSE MKT Trades, NYSE MKT BBO and NYSE MKT Order Imbalances, the market data products to which non-display use fees apply. Specifically, with respect to the three categories of, and fees applicable to, market data recipients for non-display use, the Exchange proposes to describe the three categories in the Market Data Fee Schedule.

                    In September 2014, the Exchange revised the fees for non-display use of NYSE MKT OpenBook, NYSE MKT Trades, and NYSE MKT BBO and added fees for non-display use of NYSE MKT Order Imbalances.[4]                                          In the 2014 Filing, the Exchange proposed certain changes to the categories of, and fees applicable to, data recipients for non-display use. As set forth in the 2014 Filing: (i) Category 1 Fees apply when a data recipient's non-display use of real-time market data is on its own behalf as                           ( print page 69962)                        opposed to use on behalf of its clients; (ii) Category 2 Fees apply when a data recipient's non-display use of real-time market data is on behalf of its clients as opposed to use on its own behalf; and (iii) Category 3 Fees apply when a data recipient's non-display use of real-time market data is for the purpose of internally matching buy and sell orders within an organization, including matching customer orders on a data recipient's own behalf and/or on behalf of its clients. The Market Data Fee Schedule currently lists each category as Category 1, Category 2, and Category 3, without further description.                

The Exchange is proposing to amend the Market Data Fee Schedule to add the descriptions of the three categories, as set forth above, as a footnote to the Market Data Fee Schedule. Because there will now be multiple footnotes to the Market Data Fee Schedule, the Exchange proposes non-substantive edits to change the existing footnote references from asterisks to numbers.

#### 2. Statutory Basis

                    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) [5]                                          of the Act, in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) [6]                                          of the Act, in particular, in that it 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 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, and it is not designed to permit unfair discrimination among customers, brokers, or dealers.                

                    The Exchange believes that adding the description of the three categories of data recipients for non-display use to the Market Data Fee Schedule will remove impediments to and help perfect a free and open market by providing greater transparency for the Exchange's customers regarding the category descriptions that have been previously filed with the Commission and are applicable to the existing Market Data Fee Schedule.[7] 

### 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 because the Exchange is merely adding to the Market Data Fee Schedule information that has been previously filed with the Commission.[8] 

### 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 [9]                                          and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.[10]                                          Because the foregoing proposed rule does not (i) significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 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, provided that the self-regulatory organization has given the Commission written notice of its intent to file 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,[11]                                          the proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act [12]                                          and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.[13] 

                    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) [14]                                          normally does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b4(f)(6)(iii),[15]                                          the Commission may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day delayed operative date so that the proposed rule change may become effective and operative upon filing with the Commission pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act [16]                                          and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) [17]                                          thereunder. The Commission believes that the proposal raises no novel issues and that adding the description of the categories of market data recipients for non-display use to the Market Data Fee Schedule is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest because it will provide more transparency in the Exchange's Market Data Fee Schedule regarding the existing definitions in that schedule. Based on the foregoing, the Commission has determined to waive the 30-day operative date so that the proposal may take effect upon filing.[18] 

                    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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. If the Commission takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings under Section 19(b)(2)(B) [19]                                          of the Act to determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or disapproved.
