Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC; 
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change 
Amending NYSE Rule 17 To Add a New Paragraph (c)(3) Addressing the 
Authority of the Exchange or Archipelago Securities LLC To Cancel 
Orders When a Technical or Systems Issue Occurs and To Describe the 
Operation of an Error Account for Arca Securities

October 18, 2012.
    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 October 10, 2012, New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'' or 
the ``Exchange'') 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 amend NYSE Rule 17 by adding a new 
paragraph (c)(3) that addresses the authority of the Exchange or 
Archipelago Securities LLC (``Arca Securities'') to cancel orders when 
a technical or systems issue occurs and to describe the operation of an 
error account for Arca Securities. 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 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend NYSE Rule 17 by adding a new 
paragraph (c)(3) that addresses the authority of the Exchange or Arca 
Securities to cancel orders when a technical or systems issue occurs 
and to describe the operation of an error account for Arca 
Securities.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Arca Securities is a facility of the Exchange. Accordingly, 
under NYSE Rule 17, the Exchange is responsible for filing with the 
Commission rule changes and fees relating to Arca Securities' 
functions. In addition, the Exchange is using the phrase ``Arca 
Securities or the Exchange'' in this rule filing to reflect the fact 
that a decision to take action with respect to orders affected by a 
technical or systems issue may be made in the capacity of Arca 
Securities or the Exchange depending on where those orders are 
located at the time of that decision.
    From time to time, the Exchange also uses non-affiliate third-
party broker-dealers to provide outbound routing services (i.e., 
third-party Routing Brokers). In those cases, orders are submitted 
to the third-party Routing Broker through Arca Securities, the 
third-party Routing Broker routes the orders to the routing 
destination in its name, and any executions are submitted for 
clearance and settlement in the name of Arca Securities so that any 
resulting positions are delivered to Arca Securities upon 
settlement. As described above, Arca Securities normally arranges 
for any resulting securities positions to be delivered to the member 
organization that submitted the corresponding order to the Exchange. 
If error positions (as defined in proposed Rule 17(c)(3)(B)) result 
in connection with the Exchange's use of a third-party Routing 
Broker for outbound routing, and those positions are delivered to 
Arca Securities through the clearance and settlement process, Arca 
Securities would be permitted to resolve those positions in 
accordance with proposed Rule 17(c)(3). If the third-party Routing 
Broker received error positions in connection with its role as a 
routing broker for the Exchange, and the error positions were not 
delivered to Arca Securities through the clearance and settlement 
process, then the third-party Routing Broker would resolve the error 
positions itself, and Arca Securities would not be permitted to 
accept the error positions, as set forth in proposed Rule 
17(c)(3)(B)(ii).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[[Page 65041]]

    Arca Securities is the approved routing broker of the Exchange, 
subject to the conditions listed in NYSE Rule 17(c). The Exchange 
relies on Arca Securities to provide outbound routing services from 
itself to routing destinations of Arca Securities (``routing 
destinations''). When Arca Securities routes orders to a routing 
destination, it does so by sending a corresponding order in its own 
name to the routing destination. In the normal course, routed orders 
that are executed at routing destinations are submitted for clearance 
and settlement in the name of Arca Securities, and Arca Securities 
arranges for any resulting securities positions to be delivered to the 
member organization that submitted the corresponding order to the 
Exchange. However, from time to time, the Exchange and Arca Securities 
encounter situations in which it becomes necessary to cancel orders and 
resolve error positions.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The examples described in this filing are not intended to be 
exclusive. Proposed NYSE Rule 17(c)(3) would provide general 
authority for the Exchange or Arca Securities to cancel orders in 
order to maintain fair and orderly markets when technical and 
systems issues are occurring, and Rule 17(c)(3) also would set forth 
the manner in which error positions may be handled by the Exchange 
or Arca Securities. The proposed rule change is not limited to 
addressing order cancellation or error positions resulting only from 
the specific examples described in this filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Examples of Circumstances That May Lead to Canceled Orders
    A technical or systems issue may arise at Arca Securities, a 
routing destination, or the Exchange that may cause the Exchange or 
Arca Securities to take steps to cancel orders if the Exchange or Arca 
Securities determines that such action is necessary to maintain a fair 
and orderly market. The examples set forth below describe some of the 
circumstances in which the Exchange or Arca Securities may decide to 
cancel orders.

    Example 1. If Arca Securities or a routing destination 
experiences a technical or systems issue that results in Arca 
Securities not receiving responses to immediate or cancel (``IOC'') 
orders that it sent to the routing destination, and that issue is 
not resolved in a timely manner, Arca Securities or the Exchange 
would seek to cancel the routed orders affected by the issue.\6\ For 
instance, if Arca Securities experiences a connectivity issue 
affecting the manner in which it sends or receives order messages to 
or from routing destinations, it may be unable to receive timely 
execution or cancellation reports from the routing destinations, and 
Arca Securities or the Exchange may consequently seek to cancel the 
affected routed orders. Once the decision is made to cancel those 
routed orders, any cancellation that a member organization submitted 
to the Exchange on its initial order during such a situation would 
be honored.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ In a normal situation (i.e., one in which a technical or 
systems issue does not exist), Arca Securities should receive an 
immediate response to an IOC order from a routing destination, and 
would pass the resulting fill or cancellation on to the member 
organization. After submitting an order that is routed to a routing 
destination, if a member organization sends an instruction to cancel 
that order, the cancellation is held by the Exchange until a 
response is received from the routing destination. For instance, if 
the routing destination executes that order, the execution would be 
passed on to the member organization and the cancellation 
instruction would be disregarded.
    \7\ If a member organization did not submit a cancellation to 
the Exchange, however, that initial order would remain ``live'' and 
thus be eligible for execution or posting on the Exchange, and 
neither the Exchange nor Arca Securities would treat any execution 
of that initial order or any subsequent routed order related to that 
initial order as an error.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Example 2. If the Exchange experiences a systems issue, the 
Exchange may take steps to cancel all outstanding orders affected by 
that issue and notify affected member organizations of the 
cancellations. In those cases, the Exchange would seek to cancel any 
routed orders related to the member organizations' initial orders.
Examples of Circumstances That May Lead to Error Positions
    In some instances, the technical or systems issue at Arca 
Securities, a routing destination, the Exchange, or a non-affiliate 
third-party Routing Broker may also result in Arca Securities acquiring 
an error position that it must resolve. The examples set forth below 
describe some of the circumstances in which error positions may arise.
    Example A. Error positions may result from routed orders that 
the Exchange or Arca Securities attempts to cancel but that are 
executed before the routing destination receives the cancellation 
message or that are executed because the routing destination is 
unable to process the cancellation message. Using the situation 
described in Example 1 above, assume that the Exchange seeks to 
cancel orders routed to a routing destination because it is not 
receiving timely execution or cancellation reports from the routing 
destination. In such a situation, Arca Securities may still receive 
executions from the routing destination after connectivity is 
restored, which it would not then allocate to member organizations 
because of the earlier decision to cancel the affected routed 
orders. Instead, Arca Securities would post those positions into its 
error account and resolve the positions in the manner described 
below.
    Example B. Error positions may result from an order processing 
issue at a routing destination. For instance, if a routing 
destination experienced a systems problem that affects its order 
processing, it may transmit back a message purporting to cancel a 
routed order, but then subsequently submit an execution of that same 
order (i.e., a locked-in trade) to The Depository Trust & Clearing 
Corporation (``DTCC'') for clearance and settlement. In such a 
situation, the Exchange would not then allocate the execution to the 
member organization because of the earlier cancellation message from 
the routing destination. Instead, Arca Securities would post those 
positions into its error account and resolve the positions in the 
manner described below.
    Example C. Error positions may result if Arca Securities 
receives an execution report from a routing destination but does not 
receive clearing instructions for the execution from the routing 
destination. For instance, assume that a member organization sends 
the Exchange an order to buy 100 shares of ABC stock, which causes 
Arca Securities to send an order to a routing destination that is 
subsequently executed, cleared and closed out by that routing 
destination, and the execution is ultimately communicated back to 
that member organization. On the next trading day (T+1), if the 
routing destination does not provide clearing instructions for that 
execution, Arca Securities would still be responsible for settling 
that member organization's purchase, but would be left with a short 
position in its error account.\8\ Arca Securities would resolve the 
position in the manner described below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ To the extent that Arca Securities incurred a loss in 
covering its short position, it would submit a reimbursement claim 
to that routing destination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Example D. Error positions may result from a technical or 
systems issue that causes orders to be executed in the name of Arca 
Securities that are not related to Arca Securities' function as the 
Exchange's routing broker and are not related to any corresponding 
orders of member organizations. As a result, Arca Securities would 
not be able to assign any positions

[[Page 65042]]

resulting from such an issue to member organizations. Instead, Arca 
Securities would post those positions into its error account and 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
resolve the positions in the manner described below.

    In the circumstances described above, Arca Securities may not learn 
about an error position until T+1, either: (1) During the clearing 
process when a routing destination has submitted to DTCC a transaction 
for clearance and settlement for which Arca Securities never received 
an execution confirmation; or (2) when a routing destination does not 
recognize a transaction submitted by Arca Securities to DTCC for 
clearance and settlement. Moreover, the affected member organizations' 
trade may not be nullified absent express authority under Exchange 
rules.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See, e.g., NYSE Rule 128 (regarding clearly erroneous 
executions).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposed Amendments to NYSE Rule 17
    The Exchange proposes to amend NYSE Rule 17 to add new paragraph 
(c)(3) to address the cancellation of orders due to technical or 
systems issues and the use of an error account by Arca Securities.
    Specifically, under paragraph (c)(3)(A) of the proposed rule, the 
Exchange or Arca Securities would be expressly authorized to cancel 
orders as may be necessary to maintain fair and orderly markets if a 
technical or systems issue occurred at the Exchange, Arca Securities, 
or a routing destination.\10\ The Exchange or Arca Securities would be 
required to provide notice of the cancellation to affected member 
organizations as soon as practicable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ Such a situation may not cause the Exchange to declare 
self-help against the routing destination pursuant to Rule 611 of 
Regulation NMS. If the Exchange or Arca Securities determines to 
cancel orders routed to a routing destination under proposed Rule 
17(c)(3), but does not declare self-help against that routing 
destination, the Exchange would continue to be subject to the trade-
through requirements in Rule 611 with respect to that routing 
destination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Paragraph (c)(3)(B) of the proposed rule would permit Arca 
Securities to maintain an error account for the purpose of addressing 
positions that result from a technical or systems issue at Arca 
Securities, the Exchange, a routing destination, or a non-affiliate 
third-party Routing Broker that affects one or more orders (``error 
positions''). By definition, an error position would not include any 
position that results from an order submitted by a member organization 
to the Exchange that is executed on the Exchange and processed pursuant 
to NYSE Rule 132.\11\ In addition, the Exchange proposes to add to the 
proposed rule that for purposes of proposed Rule 17(c)(3), uncompared 
transactions that may be processed pursuant to Rule 134(e) are not 
error positions of Arca Securities.\12\ Arca Securities also would not 
be permitted to accept any positions in its error account from an 
account of a member organization and could not permit any member 
organization to transfer any positions from the member organization's 
account to Arca Securities' error account under the proposed rule.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ As provided in NYSE Rule 132(a), ``Each party to a contract 
shall submit data regarding its side of the contract (``trade 
data'') to a Fully-Interfaced Clearing Agency for comparison or 
settlement, but each party shall be free to select the Fully-
Interfaced Clearing Agency of its choice for such purpose.''
    \12\ Rule 134(e) provides for the manner by which uncompared 
transactions at the Exchange are resolved.
    \13\ The purpose of this provision is to clarify that Arca 
Securities may address error positions under the proposed rule that 
are caused by a technical or systems issue, but that Arca Securities 
may not accept from a member organization positions that are 
delivered to the member organization through the clearance and 
settlement process, even if those positions may have been related to 
a technical or systems issue at Arca Securities, the Exchange, a 
routing destination of Arca Securities, or a non-affiliate third-
party Routing Broker. This provision would not apply, however, to 
situations like the one described above in which Arca Securities 
incurred a short position to settle a member organization purchase, 
as the member organization did not yet have a position in its 
account as a result of the purchase at the time of Arca Securities' 
action (i.e., Arca Securities' action was necessary for the purchase 
to settle into the member organization's account). Moreover, to the 
extent a member organization receives positions pursuant to Rule 132 
in connection with a technical or systems issue, that member 
organization may seek to rely on NYSE Rule 18 if it experiences a 
loss. That rule provides member organizations with the ability to 
file claims against the Exchange ``related to an Exchange system 
failure.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under paragraph (c)(3)(C), in connection with a particular 
technical or systems issue, Arca Securities or the Exchange would be 
permitted to either (1) assign all resulting error positions to member 
organizations, or (2) have all resulting error positions liquidated, as 
described below. Any determination to assign or liquidate error 
positions, as well as any resulting assignments, would be required to 
be made in a nondiscriminatory fashion.
    Arca Securities or the Exchange would be required to assign all 
error positions resulting from a particular technical or systems issue 
to the applicable member organizations affected by that technical or 
systems issue if Arca Securities or the Exchange:
     Determined that it has accurate and sufficient information 
(including valid clearing information) to assign the positions to all 
of the applicable member organizations affected by that technical or 
systems issue;
     Determined that it has sufficient time pursuant to normal 
clearance and settlement deadlines to evaluate the information 
necessary to assign the positions to all of the applicable member 
organizations affected by that technical or systems issue; and
     Had not determined to cancel all orders affected by that 
technical or systems issue.
    For example, a technical or systems issue of limited scope or 
duration may occur at a routing destination, and the resulting trades 
may be submitted for clearance and settlement by such routing 
destination to DTCC. If there were a small number of trades, there may 
be sufficient time to match positions with member organization orders 
and avoid using the error account.
    There may be scenarios, however, where Arca Securities determines 
that it is unable to assign all error positions resulting from a 
particular technical or systems issue to all of the affected member 
organizations, or determines to cancel all affected routed orders. For 
example, in some cases, the volume of questionable executions and 
positions resulting from a technical or systems issue might be such 
that the research necessary to determine which member organization to 
assign those executions to could be expected to extend past the normal 
settlement cycle for such executions. Furthermore, if a routing 
destination experiences a technical or systems issue after Arca 
Securities has transmitted IOC orders to it that prevents Arca 
Securities from receiving responses to those orders, Arca Securities or 
the Exchange may determine to cancel all routed orders affected by that 
issue. In such a situation, Arca Securities or the Exchange would not 
pass on to the member organizations any executions on the routed orders 
received from the routing destination.
    The proposed rule also would require Arca Securities to liquidate 
error positions as soon as practicable.\14\ In liquidating error 
positions, Arca Securities would be required to provide complete time 
and price discretion for the trading to liquidate the error positions 
to a third-party broker-dealer and could not attempt to exercise any 
influence or control over the timing or

[[Page 65043]]

methods of trading to liquidate the error positions. Arca Securities 
also would be required to establish and enforce policies and procedures 
reasonably designed to restrict the flow of confidential and 
proprietary information between the third-party broker-dealer and Arca 
Securities/the Exchange associated with the liquidation of the error 
positions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ If Arca Securities determines in connection with a 
particular technical or systems issue that some error positions can 
be assigned to some affected member organizations but other error 
positions cannot be assigned, Arca Securities would be required 
under the proposed rule to liquidate all such error positions 
(including those positions that could be assigned to the affected 
member organizations).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under proposed paragraph (c)(3)(D), Arca Securities and the 
Exchange would be required to make and keep records to document all 
determinations to treat positions as error positions and all 
determinations for the assignment of error positions to member 
organizations or the liquidation of error positions, as well as records 
associated with the liquidation of error positions through the third-
party broker-dealer.
2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) \15\ of 
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act''), in general, and 
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5),\16\ 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 this proposal is in keeping with 
those principles since Arca Securities' or the Exchange's ability to 
cancel orders during a technical and systems issue and to maintain an 
error account facilitates the smooth and efficient operations of the 
market. Specifically, the Exchange believes that allowing Arca 
Securities or the Exchange to cancel orders during a technical or 
systems issue would allow the Exchange to maintain fair and orderly 
markets. Moreover, the Exchange believes that allowing Arca Securities 
to assume error positions in an error account and to liquidate those 
positions, subject to the conditions set forth in the proposed 
amendments to NYSE Rule 17, would be the least disruptive means to 
correct these errors, except in cases where Arca Securities can assign 
all such error positions to all affected member organizations of the 
Exchange. Overall, the proposed amendments are designed to ensure full 
trade certainty for market participants and to avoid disrupting the 
clearance and settlement process. The proposed amendments are also 
designed to provide a consistent methodology for handling error 
positions in a manner that does not discriminate among member 
organizations. The proposed amendments are also consistent with Section 
6 of the Act insofar as they would require Arca Securities to establish 
controls to restrict the flow of any confidential information between 
the third-party broker and Arca Securities/the Exchange associated with 
the liquidation of error positions.

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

    Because the foregoing 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 for 30 days after the date of the filing, or such 
shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective 
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \17\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) 
\18\ thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \18\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6) 
requires a self-regulatory organization to give 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. 
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative 
delay.\19\ The Commission notes that it previously approved NYSE Arca 
Equities Rule 7.45(d), which is substantively identical to the instant 
proposed rule change.\20\ The Commission finds that waiving the 30-day 
operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the 
public interest because it will allow the Exchange to implement the 
proposed rule change as part of a planned implementation of similar 
rules on the Exchange's affiliate exchanges. Accordingly, the 
Commission designates the proposal operative upon filing.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \20\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 66963 (May 10, 
2012), 77 FR 28919 (May 16, 2012) (SR-NYSEArca-2012-22).
    \21\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay, 
the Commission has considered the proposed rule change's impact on 
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 to 
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.
