Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE American LLC; Notice of

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby given
that on October 25, 2023, NYSE American LLC (``NYSE American'' 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 Rule 7.37E to specify the Exchange's
source of data feeds from MIAX PEARL, LLC (``MIAX PEARL'') for purposes
of order handling, order execution, order routing, and regulatory
compliance. The proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at <a href="http://www.nyse.com">www.nyse.com</a>, 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 to update and amend the use of data feeds
table in Rule 7.37E(d), which sets forth on a market-by-market basis
the specific securities information processor (``SIP'') and proprietary
data feeds that the Exchange utilizes for the handling, execution, and
routing of orders, and for performing the regulatory compliance checks
related to each of those functions. Specifically, the Exchange proposes
to amend the table in Rule 7.37E(d) to specify that, with respect to
MIAX PEARL, the Exchange will receive a MIAX PEARL direct feed as its
primary source of data for order handling, order execution, order
routing, and regulatory compliance, and will use the SIP Data Feed as
its secondary source for data from MIAX PEARL.
The Exchange proposes to make this change operative in the fourth
quarter of 2023, and, in any event, before December 31, 2023.
2. Statutory Basis
The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the
Act,\4\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5),\5\
in particular, because 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. Additionally, the Exchange believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) requirement
that the rules of an exchange not be designed to permit unfair
discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
\5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Exchange believes its proposal to update the table in Rule
7.37E(d) to include the MIAX PEARL direct feed will ensure that the
Rule correctly identifies and publicly states on a market-by-market
basis all of the specific SIP and proprietary data feeds that the
Exchange utilizes for the handling, execution, and routing of orders,
and for performing the regulatory compliance checks for each of those
functions. The proposed rule change also removes impediments to and
perfects the mechanism of a free and open market and protects investors
and the public interest by providing additional specificity, clarity,
and transparency in the Exchange's rules.
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. Rather, the Exchange
believes that the proposal will enhance competition because providing
the public and market participants with up-to-date information about
the data feeds the Exchange will use for the handling, execution, and
routing of orders, as well as for regulatory compliance would enhance
transparency and enable investors to better assess the quality of the
Exchange's execution and routing services. The Exchange also believes
the proposal would enhance competition because it would potentially
enhance the performance of its order handling and execution of orders
in equity securities by receiving market data directly from MIAX PEARL.
Finally, the proposed rule change would not impact competition between
market participants because it will affect all market participants
equally.
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 \6\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\7\
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
[[Page 77384]]
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) \8\ thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
\7\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
\8\ 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, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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) \9\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
