    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 April 15, 2025, NYSE American LLC (``NYSE American'' or the 
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend the NYSE American Options Fee 
Schedule (``Fee Schedule'') to (1) adopt an alternative means of 
qualifying for Initiating Participant Credits for the single-leg CUBE 
Auction based on monthly executions of initiating Complex CUBE Orders; 
and (2) to adopt, for each CUBE Auction type, a new Initiating 
Participant Rebate for ATP Holders that that qualify for Tier B of the 
Professional Volume Incentive Program. The Exchange proposes to 
implement the fee change effective April 15, 2025.\4\ 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
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ On April 1, 2025, the Exchange filed to amend the Fee 
Schedule (NYSEAMER-2025-20) and withdrew such filing on April 15, 
2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 purpose of this filing is to modify the Fee Schedule to (1) 
adopt an alternative means of qualifying for Initiating Participant 
Credits for the single-leg CUBE Auction based on monthly executions of 
initiating Complex CUBE Orders; and (2) to adopt a new Initiating 
Participant Rebate for ATP Holders that that qualify for Tier B of the 
Professional Volume Incentive Program, which rebate is available in 
each CUBE Auction (i.e., single-leg, Complex, and AON CUBE).\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See generally Rules 971.1NYP and 971.2NYP and Commentaries 
.04 (describing the CUBE Auction, which is an electronic crossing 
mechanism for single-leg, complex, and AON orders with a price 
improvement auction on the Exchange).

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

[[Page 17096]]

    The Exchange offers certain ``Initiating Participant'' credits and 
rebates to ATP Holders that submit ``CUBE Orders'' to its Customer Best 
Execution (``CUBE'') Auctions.\6\ Currently, for the single-leg CUBE 
Auction, ATP Holders receive (base level) Initiating Participant 
Credits of ($0.26) per contract for Penny Issues and ($0.65) per 
contract for Non-Penny Issues. However, ATP Holders that execute at 
least 0.40% of TCADV \7\ in Electronic Customer Complex Orders are 
eligible for enhanced Initiating Participant Credits of ($0.30) per 
contract for Penny Issues and ($0.70) per contract for Non-Penny 
Issues.\8\ The Exchange proposes to adopt an alternative means for ATP 
Holders to achieve these same enhanced Initiating Participant credits. 
Specifically, ATP Holders that execute at least 0.40% of TCADV in 
monthly initiating Complex CUBE Orders (inclusive of AON Complex CUBE 
Orders) are eligible to receive the enhanced Initiating Participant 
Credits of ($0.30) per contract for Penny Issues and ($0.70) per 
contract for Non-Penny Issues.\9\ The proposed change is designed to 
encourage ATP Holders to (continue to) utilize its single-leg CUBE 
Auction and to direct (and increase) their complex auction order flow 
(i.e., Complex CUBE and AON Complex CUBE) to the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Fee Schedule Section I.G (CUBE Auction Fees & Credits) 
(describing pricings and incentives for each of the Single-Leg CUBE 
Auction, the Complex CUBE Auction, and the AON CUBE Auction).
    \7\ ``TCADV'' refers to Total Industry Customer equity and ETF 
option average daily volume. See id. KEY TERMS and DEFINITIONS.
    \8\ Initiating Participant Credits are payable to the Initiating 
Participant for each contract in a Contra Order paired with a CUBE 
Order that does not trade with the CUBE Order because it is replaced 
in the auction. See Fee Schedule Section I.G (CUBE Auction Fees & 
Credits).
    \9\ See proposed Fee Schedule, Section I.G. (CUBE Auction Fees & 
Credits) (providing the alternative qualifying basis in note 1 to 
the table setting for pricing for single-leg CUBE Auctions).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently, the Exchange also offers certain Initiating Participant 
Rebates, payable in addition to the Initiating Participant Credits, 
including (but not limited to) the American Customer Engagement 
(``ACE'') Initiating Participant Rebate, which is available to ACE 
participants in all CUBE Auctions.\10\ The Exchange proposes to adopt a 
new Initiating Participant Rebate that will be available to ATP Holders 
that qualify for Tier B of the Professional Volume Incentive program 
(the ``Professional IP Rebate'').\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Fee Schedule Sections I.E. (American Customer 
Engagement (``ACE'') Program). See also Fee Schedule Section I.G 
(CUBE Auction Fees & Credits) (providing in note 2 to each of the 
tables setting forth pricing for the Single-Leg CUBE Auction, the 
Complex CUBE Auction, and the AON CUBE Auction, the requirements to 
achieve the ACE Initiating Participant Rebate, which pays ($0.12) 
per contract).
    \11\ For purposes of the Professional Volume Incentive program, 
``Professional'' volume includes certain qualifying volume that 
clears in the Professional Customer, Broker Dealer, Non-NYSE 
American Options Market Maker, and Firm ranges. See Section I.H. 
(Professional Volume Incentive) (describing the Incentive as well as 
what constitutes ``Qualifying Volume'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Professional Volume Incentive (the ``Incentive'') offers 
qualifying ATP Holders discounted rates on their total monthly 
Professional Volume and credits on their monthly Customer Electronic 
volume at the same rate as participants that achieve Tier 1 in the ACE 
Program.\12\ The Professional IP Rebate will pay ($0.12) per contract, 
be available in each of the CUBE Auctions--i.e., for the single-leg 
CUBE Auction, the Complex CUBE Auction, and the AON CUBE Auction.\13\ 
Consistent with current practice, this proposed rebate is paid in 
addition to Initiating Participant credits and ATP Holders that qualify 
for more than one Initiating Participant Rebate would be entitled only 
to the highest of the earned rebates.\14\ Regarding AON CUBE Orders, 
the Exchange notes that the proposed Professional IP Rebate will not 
apply to AON CUBE Orders executed by a Floor Broker as such volume may 
be eligible for the Floor Broker Initiating Participant Rebate.\15\ The 
Exchange notes that the proposed Professional IP Rebate would enable 
non-ACE Program participants to qualify for an additional Rebate on 
initiating CUBE Orders provided they meet certain Professional volume 
requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See id. To achieve Tier B of this Incentive, ATP Holders 
must execute ``Qualifying Volume,'' that clears in the Professional 
range, of at least 0.30% of TCADV. See id. ATP Holders that achieve 
Tier B ``are eligible to receive a credit of $0.10 per contract on 
Customer Electronic Simple and Complex executions, excluding CUBE 
Auctions, QCC Transactions, and volume from orders routed to another 
exchange,'' if such ATP Holders meet certain monthly qualification 
levels. See id.
    \13\ See proposed Fee Schedule Section I.G (CUBE Auction Fees & 
Credits) (adopting the ($0.12) per contract Professional IP Rebate 
in note 3 to each of the tables setting forth pricing for Single-Leg 
CUBE Auction, the Complex CUBE Auction, and the AON CUBE Auction). 
See supra note 10 (regarding the ACE Initiating Participant Rebate).
    \14\ See Fee Schedule Section I.G (CUBE Auction Fees & Credits) 
(providing in note 2 to each of the tables setting forth pricing for 
the Single-Leg CUBE Auction, the Complex CUBE Auction, and the AON 
CUBE Auction, that ATP Holders are eligible for only one Initiating 
Participant Rebate).
    \15\ See id. Consistent with the proposal, the existing ACE 
Initiating Participant Rebate is likewise not applied to AON CUBE 
Orders executed by a Floor Broker, as set forth in note 2 to the 
table setting forth pricing for the AON CUBE Auction. See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To the extent that the proposed modifications continue to encourage 
ATP Holders to initiate CUBE Auctions--whether single-leg, complex, or 
AON--and to further incent ATP Holders to increase their Professional 
and Customer volume on the Exchange, all market participants stand to 
benefit from increased liquidity and opportunities for price 
improvement. Increased order flow promotes market depth, facilitates 
tighter spreads and enhances price discovery, which enhances market 
quality for all participants.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent 
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\16\ in general, and furthers the 
objectives of Sections 6(b)(4) and (5) of the Act,\17\ in particular, 
because it provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, 
fees, and other charges among its members, issuers and other persons 
using its facilities and does not unfairly discriminate between 
customers, issuers, brokers or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \17\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed changes to the Fee Schedule are reasonable, equitable, 
and not unfairly discriminatory. As a threshold matter, the Exchange is 
subject to significant competitive forces in the market for options 
securities transaction services that constrain its pricing 
determinations in that market. The Commission has repeatedly expressed 
its preference for competition over regulatory intervention in 
determining prices, products, and services in the securities markets. 
In Regulation NMS, the Commission highlighted the importance of market 
forces in determining prices and SRO revenues and, also, recognized 
that current regulation of the market system ``has been remarkably 
successful in promoting market competition in its broader forms that 
are most important to investors and listed companies.'' \18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 51808 (June 9, 
2005), 70 FR 37496, 37499 (June 29, 2005) (S7-10-04) (``Reg NMS 
Adopting Release'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    There are currently 18 registered options exchanges competing for 
order flow. Based on publicly-available information, and excluding 
index-based options, no single exchange has more than 16% of the market 
share of executed volume of multiply-listed equity and ETF options 
trades.\19\ Therefore, currently no exchange possesses significant 
pricing power in

[[Page 17097]]

the execution of multiply-listed equity and ETF options order flow. 
More specifically, in February 2025, the Exchange had 6.65% market 
share of executed volume of multiply-listed equity & ETF options 
trades.\20\ In such a low-concentrated and highly competitive market, 
no single options exchange possesses significant pricing power in the 
execution of option order flow. Within this environment, market 
participants can freely and often do shift their order flow among the 
Exchange and competing venues in response to changes in their 
respective pricing schedules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ The OCC publishes options and futures volume in a variety 
of formats, including daily and monthly volume by exchange, 
available here: <a href="https://www.theocc.com/Market-Data/Market-Data-Reports/Volume-and-Open-Interest/Monthly-Weekly-Volume-Statistics">https://www.theocc.com/Market-Data/Market-Data-Reports/Volume-and-Open-Interest/Monthly-Weekly-Volume-Statistics</a>.
    \20\ Based on a compilation of OCC data for monthly volume of 
equity-based options and monthly volume of equity-based ETF options, 
see id., the Exchanges market share in equity-based options 
decreased slightly from 7.64% for the month of February 2024 to 
6.65% for the month of February 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In response to these competitive forces and as discussed herein, 
the Exchange has established various pricing incentives regarding its 
CUBE Auctions, including (but not limited to) the (base and enhanced) 
Initiating Participant credits and various Initiating Participant 
rebates that are designed to encourage ATP Holders to utilize the 
Auction and to direct (increased) volume to the Exchange.
    The Exchange believes that the proposed fee change to offer an 
alternative means to achieve an enhanced Initiating Participant 
credit--in the same amount as is currently available--for the single-
leg CUBE Auction is reasonable, equitable, and not unfairly 
discriminatory. First, the Exchange is merely offering ATP Holders 
another way to earn the same enhanced credits, with the difference 
being that the proposed credits are tied to initiating Complex CUBE 
(inclusive of AON Complex CUBE) volume (rather than electronic Complex 
Order volume). As such, the proposed change does not alter an ATP 
Holder's ability to (continue to) qualify for the existing enhanced 
Initiating Participant credit. The proposed alternative qualification 
basis is reasonable because it is designed to encourage ATP Holders to 
utilizes both the single-leg and Complex CUBE Auction mechanisms, which 
may incent ATP Holders to direct their paired-auction volume--as well 
as other volume--to the Exchange, which increased liquidity promotes 
market depth and enhances market quality to the benefit of all market 
participants.
    The Exchange believes that the proposal represents an equitable 
allocation of credits and is not unfairly discriminatory because the 
proposal is based on the amount and type of business transacted on the 
Exchange. ATP Holders are not obligated to participate in CUBE Auctions 
or to attempt to achieve the proposed enhanced Initiating Participant 
credit. In addition, the proposed change will apply equally to all 
similarly-situated ATP Holders.
    The Exchange believes the proposed fee change to adopt a new 
Professional IP Rebate that will be available to ATP Holders that 
initiate CUBE Auctions on the Exchange, is reasonable, equitable, and 
not unfairly discriminatory. First, the addition of this Rebate does 
not alter an ATP Holder's ability to qualify for the existing rebates, 
which rebates are not being altered by this proposal. In addition, the 
proposed Rebate provides all ATP Holders (including ACE program 
participants) another avenue through which to earn a Rebate for their 
initiating CUBE Order volume. Further, this proposed Rebate is designed 
to allow ATP Holders that do not participate in the ACE Program--and 
are therefore not eligible for the ACE Initiating Participant Rebate--
an opportunity to qualify for a Rebate. The Exchange notes that the 
proposed Rebate would operate in the same manner as existing rebates 
such that ATP Holders may only receive the highest rebate achieved and, 
in the case of AON CUBE Auctions, that AON CUBE Orders executed by a 
Floor Broker are not eligible for the proposed Rebate. Moreover, the 
proposed Professional IP Rebate is reasonable because it is designed to 
encourage ATP Holders to utilize the CUBE Auction mechanisms as well as 
to increase their (qualifying) Professional volume, which may incent 
ATP Holders to use the Exchange as their primary trading venue. To the 
extent the proposed Rebate increases order flow directed to the 
Exchange, this increased liquidity will promote market depth and 
enhance market quality to the benefit of all market participants.
    The Exchange believes that the proposed Professional IP Rebate 
represents an equitable allocation of credits/rebates and is not 
unfairly discriminatory because the proposal is based on the amount and 
type of business transacted on the Exchange. ATP Holders are not 
obligated to participate in CUBE Auctions or to attempt to achieve the 
proposed Rebate by increasing (or directing) qualifying Professional 
order flow to the Exchange. In addition, the proposed change will apply 
equally to all similarly-situated ATP Holders. Further, like the 
proposed Rebate, which is designed to encourage Professional order 
flow, the Exchange currently offers pricing incentives designed to 
encourage ATP Holders to direct certain types of order flow to the 
Exchange, including the ACE Program and the ACE Initiating Participant 
Rebate. In addition, the Exchange offers pricing incentives designed to 
encourage activity by certain market participants (e.g., Market Makers 
and Floor Brokers) that play an important role in facilitating 
transactions on the Exchange.\21\ Like these other pricing incentives, 
the proposed Rebate is designed to encourage participants to utilize 
the Exchange as a primary trading venue (if they have not done so 
previously) and increase volume sent to the Exchange, including 
auction, Customer, and Professional volume.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ See, e.g., Fee Schedule, Sections I.C. (NYSE American 
Options Market Maker Sliding Scale--Electronic); I.D. ([Market 
Maker] Prepayment Program); and III.E.1. (Floor Broker Fixed Cost 
Prepayment Incentive Program).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To the extent that the proposed changes attract more executions to 
the Exchange, this increased order flow would continue to make the 
Exchange a more competitive venue for order execution. Thus, the 
Exchange believes the proposed rule changes would improve market 
quality for all market participants on the Exchange and attract more 
order flow to the Exchange thereby improving market-wide quality and 
price discovery. The resulting increased volume and liquidity would 
provide more trading opportunities and tighter spreads to all market 
participants and thus would promote just and equitable principles of 
trade, 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.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    In accordance with Section 6(b)(8) of the Act, the Exchange does 
not believe that the proposed rule change would impose any burden on 
competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the 
purposes of the Act. Instead, as discussed above, the Exchange believes 
that the proposed changes would continue to encourage the submission of 
additional liquidity to a public exchange, thereby promoting market 
depth, price discovery and transparency and enhancing order execution 
opportunities for all market participants. As a result, the Exchange 
believes that the proposed changes further the Commission's goal in 
adopting Regulation NMS of fostering integrated competition among 
orders, which promotes ``more efficient pricing

[[Page 17098]]

of individual stocks for all types of orders, large and small.'' \22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ See Reg NMS Adopting Release, supra note 18, at 37499.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Intramarket Competition
    The Exchange believes that this proposal to offer an alternative 
means of achieving existing Initiating Participant Credits and to adopt 
a new Professional IP Rebate does not impose any burden on intramarket 
competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the 
purposes of the Act. The proposed changes apply equally to all 
similarly-situated ATP Holders. Further, the proposal is based on the 
amount and type of business transacted on the Exchange and ATP Holders 
are not obligated to participate in CUBE Auctions or to avail 
themselves of the proposed Rebate. In addition, the proposed Rebate is 
similar to existing pricing incentives designed to increase certain 
types of order flow (e.g., Customer) or to encourage participation by 
certain market participants--all of which are designed to increase 
liquidity and market quality on the Exchange to the benefit of all 
market participants. The Exchange does not believe that the proposed 
changes will adversely impact any ATP Holder's ability to qualify for 
existing pricing incentives related to initiating CUBE Auctions as this 
proposal does not alter (and will not impact the availability of) the 
existing credits and rebates. This proposal is designed to encourage 
participants to utilize the Exchange as a primary trading venue (if 
they have not done so previously), particularly as relates to 
initiating CUBE Auctions and directing (or increasing) their qualifying 
Professional volume directed to the Exchange. As such, the Exchange 
believes this proposal will help promote competition by providing 
incentives for market participants to continue to submit CUBE Orders 
(i.e., Customer order flow) to the Exchange and thus, create a greater 
opportunity for Customers to receive additional price improvement and 
access greater liquidity.
Intermarket Competition
    The Exchange operates in a highly competitive market in which 
market participants can readily favor one of the other 17 competing 
option exchanges if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be 
excessive. In such an environment, the Exchange must continually adjust 
its fees to remain competitive with other exchanges and to attract 
order flow to the Exchange. Based on publicly-available information, 
and excluding index-based options, no single exchange has more than 16% 
of the market share of executed volume of multiply-listed equity and 
ETF options trades.\23\ Therefore, currently no exchange possesses 
significant pricing power in the execution of multiply-listed equity 
and ETF options order flow. More specifically, in February 2025, the 
Exchange had 6.65% market share of executed volume of multiply-listed 
equity & ETF options trades.\24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ The OCC publishes options and futures volume in a variety 
of formats, including daily and monthly volume by exchange, 
available here: <a href="https://www.theocc.com/Market-Data/Market-Data-Reports/Volume-and-Open-Interest/Monthly-Weekly-Volume-Statistics">https://www.theocc.com/Market-Data/Market-Data-Reports/Volume-and-Open-Interest/Monthly-Weekly-Volume-Statistics</a>.
    \24\ Based on a compilation of OCC data for monthly volume of 
equity-based options and monthly volume of equity-based ETF options, 
see id., the Exchanges market share in equity-based options 
decreased slightly from 7.64% for the month of February 2024 to 
6.65% for the month of February 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change reflects this 
competitive environment as it is designed to encourage ATP Holders to 
direct trading interest to the Exchange, to provide liquidity and to 
attract order flow. To the extent that this purpose is achieved, all 
the Exchange's market participants should benefit from the improved 
market quality and increased opportunities for price improvement.

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 foregoing rule change is effective upon filing pursuant to 
Section 19(b)(3)(A) \25\ of the Act and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 
19b-4 \26\ thereunder, because it establishes a due, fee, or other

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) \27\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed 
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
