proposed rule change as described in 

Items I and II below, which Items have 

been prepared by the self-regulatory 

organization. The Commission is

comments on the proposed rule change 

from interested persons.

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, in connection with the 

name change of its affiliate NYSE MKT 

LLC (‘‘NYSE MKT’’) to NYSE American 

LLC (‘‘NYSE American’’), proposes to 

amend its rules and the Options Fee 

Schedule.4

Background 

On March 16, 2017, NYSE MKT filed 

rule changes with the Commission in 

connection with its name change to 

NYSE American.5 In addition, on May 

19, 2017, NYSE MKT filed rule changes 

with the Commission associated with 

the rebranding of NYSE Amex Options, 

the Exchange’s facility for trading 

options, to NYSE American Options.6

The NYSE MKT name change to NYSE 

American became operative on July 24, 

2017. Accordingly, the Exchange 

proposes to amend certain of its rules 

and the Options Fee Schedule as 

detailed below to reflect the new name 

of its affiliate NYSE American. 

Proposed Rule Changes 

• The Exchange proposes to replace 

‘‘NYSE MKT’’ with ‘‘NYSE American’’ 

in Rule 5.25–O, Commentary .03 

(Margins); Rule 6.96–O(b) (Operation of 

Routing Broker); 5.2–E(b) (General); 5.2– 

E(d) (Preferred Stock and Similar 

Issues); 5.2–E(e) (Bonds and 

Debentures); 5.5–E(a), Commentary .02 

and .03 (Maintenance Requirements and 

Delisting Procedures); 7.31–E(f) (Orders 

and Modifiers); and 7.45–E(c) 

(Operation of Routing Broker). 

• Rule 7.31–E has a notice stating that 

an amended version of the rule has been 

approved but is not yet operative.7 The 

notice includes a link to the amended 

version of the rule and the relevant 

approval order. The Exchange proposes 

to replace ‘‘NYSE MKT’’ with ‘‘NYSE 

American’’ in the text of the amended 

but not yet operative version of Rule 

7.31–E. Exhibit 5B sets forth the 

proposed revised text. 

• The Exchange proposes to replace 

‘‘NYSE MKT LLC’’ with ‘‘NYSE 

American LLC’’ in Rule 5.82–O(a) 

(Applicability; Definitions Related to 

ByRDs), Rule 6.96–O(b), Rule 7.37–E(d) 

(Order Execution and Routing), and 

Rule 7.45–E(c)(1). 

Proposed Changes to the Options Fee 

Schedule 

• Options Fee Schedule: Under ‘‘CoLocation Fees,’’ in General Notes 1 and 

4, the Exchange proposes to replace 

‘‘NYSE MKT LLC’’ with ‘‘NYSE 

American LLC’’ and replace ‘‘NYSE 

MKT’’ with ‘‘NYSE American.’’ In 

addition, the Exchange proposes to 

replace ‘‘NYSE Amex Options’’ with 

‘‘NYSE American Options’’ in the table 

in General Note 4. 

None of the foregoing changes are 

substantive. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed rule change is consistent with 

Section 6(b) of the Exchange Act,8 in 

general, and with Section 6(b)(1) 9 in 

particular, in that it enables the 

Exchange to be so organized as to have 

the capacity to be 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 the Exchange. 

The proposed rule change is a nonsubstantive change and does not impact 

the governance or ownership of the 

Exchange. The Exchange believes that 

the proposed rule change would enable 

the Exchange to continue to be so 

organized as to have the capacity to 

carry out the purposes of the Exchange 

Act and comply and enforce compliance 

with the provisions of the Exchange Act 

by its members and persons associated 

with its members, because ensuring that 

the rules and Options Fee Schedule 

accurately reflect the name change of 

the Exchange’s affiliate from NYSE MKT 

to NYSE American and the rebranding 

of NYSE Amex Options to NYSE

American Options would contribute to 

the orderly operation of the Exchange by 

adding clarity and transparency to its 

rules and fee schedule. 

For similar reasons, the Exchange also 

believes that the proposed rule change 

is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the 

Act,10 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. 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed rule change would remove 

impediments to and perfect the 

mechanism of a free and open market 

and a national market system by 

ensuring that market participants can 

more easily navigate, understand and 

comply with the rules and Options Fee 

Schedule. The Exchange believes that, 

by ensuring that such rules and fee 

schedule accurately reflect the name 

change of its affiliate from NYSE MKT 

to NYSE American and the rebranding 

of NYSE Amex Options to NYSE 

American Options, the proposed rule 

change would reduce potential investor 

or market participant confusion. 

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. The 

proposed rule change is not intended to 

address competitive issues but rather is 

concerned solely with updating the 

rules, and Options Fee Schedule to 

reflect its affiliate’s name change from 

NYSE MKT to NYSE American and 

rebranding of NYSE Amex Options to 

NYSE American Options. 

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 proposed rule change has become 

effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 

of the Act 11 and Rule 19b–4(f)(3) 12

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. If the 

Commission takes such action, the 

Commission shall institute proceedings 

under Section 19(b)(2)(B) 13 of the Act to 

determine whether the proposed rule 

change should be approved or 

disapproved. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.
