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

    The Exchange proposes to amend temporary Rule 7.34-E(T) (``Trading 
Sessions'') to provide for an Overnight Trading Session and to amend 
the hours for the Exchange's Early Trading Session and the Late Trading 
Session, and to make corresponding changes to other rules. The proposed 
rule change is available on the Exchange's website at <a href="http://www.nyse.com">www.nyse.com</a> and 
at the principal office of the Exchange.

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
    NYSE Arca, Inc. (``NYSE Arca'' or the ``Exchange'') proposes to 
amend temporary Rule 7.34-E(T) (``Trading Sessions'') to provide for an 
Overnight Trading Session and to amend the hours for the Exchange's 
Early Trading Session and the Late Trading Session, and to make 
corresponding changes to other rules.
    On February 11, 2025, the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission'') approved the Exchange's proposal to adopt temporary 
Rule 7.34-E(T) to lengthen its trading hours for NMS stocks to 1:30 
a.m. Eastern Time through 11:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday through 
Thursday, and 1:30 a.m. Eastern Time through 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on 
Friday (``Extended Hours Trading'').\4\ As part of that proposal, among 
other things, the Exchange amended current Rule 7.34-E (Trading 
Sessions) to include a preamble providing that the current version of 
Rule 7.34-E would remain operative until Extended Hours Trading as set 
out in Rule 7.34-E(T) is operative, and that the Exchange would not 
commence operating pursuant to the hours set out in Rule 7.34-E(T) 
unless the Equity Data Plans \5\ ``(1) have established a mechanism to 
collect, consolidate, process and disseminate quotation and transaction 
information at all times during Extended Hours Trading that is 
equivalent to the mechanism established for the Core Trading Session, 
and (2) have provided the Exchange with notification that they are 
prepared to collect, consolidate, process and disseminate quotation and 
transaction information to accommodate Extended Hours Trading.'' The 
preamble to current Rule 7.34-E further provides that when such 
conditions are met, the Exchange will file a proposed rule change 
pursuant to Section 19(b) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder 
before commencing Extended Hours Trading as described in Rule 7.34-
E(T).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 102400 (February 11, 
2025), 90 FR 9794 (February 18, 2025) (SR-NYSEARCA-2024-89) 
(``Original Filing'').
    \5\ ``Equity Data Plans'' is defined in Rule 1.1 (Definitions).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Following the Commission's approval of the Original Filing, the 
Exchange has continued to discuss plans for Extended Hours Trading with 
domestic and international market participants and has determined to 
refine its approach. The Exchange now proposes to amend Rule 7.34-E(T) 
to provide that the Exchange would operate from 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time 
Sunday to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time Friday, with a pause in trading from 
8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday through Thursday for an hour to 
accommodate technical refreshes for the Exchange, the Processors, and 
other market participants (``23/5 Trading'').
    To facilitate 23/5 Trading, the Exchange proposes to make the 
following changes to its rules.
Proposed Changes to Rule 7.34-E(T)(a)
    Specifically, to facilitate 23/5 Trading, the Exchange proposes to 
add a definition for a fourth trading session--the ``Overnight Trading 
Session''--and to amend the definitions of ``Early Trading Session'' 
and ``Late Trading Session'' in Rule 7.34-E(T)(a).
    In Rule 7.34-E(T)(a)(1), the Exchange proposes to add a definition 
for ``Overnight Trading Session'' and to renumber the remaining 
provisions of Rule 7.34-E(T)(a) accordingly. The first sentence of the 
definition would provide that ``The Overnight Trading Session will 
begin at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Sunday through Thursday and conclude 
at the commencement of the next calendar day's Early Trading Session.''
    In addition, proposed Rule 7.34-E(T)(a)(1) would also provide that 
the ``Exchange will begin accepting orders for all of that trading 
day's trading sessions at 8:59 p.m. Eastern Time, one minute before the 
Overnight Trading Session begins''--not 30 minutes before trading 
opens, as the current version of the temporary rule provides.\6\ Under 
23/5 Trading, the Exchange's systems would undergo a technical refresh 
during the one-hour pause in trading from 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on 
Monday through Thursday and would not be available to accept orders at 
8:30 p.m. Eastern Time, but would be available to begin accepting 
orders for all of the trading day's sessions at 8:59 p.m. Eastern Time 
before the session starts at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Proposed Rule 
7.34-E(T)(a)(1) would specify that the ``Overnight Trading Session will 
begin with continuous trading,'' not an opening auction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See current Rule 7.34-E(T)(a)(1), providing that ``The 
Exchange will begin accepting orders 30 minutes before the Early 
Trading Session begins.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to move the current text of Rule 7.34-
E(T)(a)(1), concerning the Early Trading Session, to subparagraph 
(a)(2). The Exchange proposes to amend the first sentence to provide 
that the ``Early Trading Session will begin at 4:00 a.m. Eastern Time 
and conclude at the commencement of the

[[Page 31510]]

Core Trading Session.'' The Exchange also proposes to remove the second 
sentence, which provides that the Exchange ``will begin accepting 
orders 30 minutes before the Early Trading Session begins,'' as 
inconsistent with the proposed revision to subparagraph (a)(1) 
specifying that the Exchange will begin accepting orders for all of the 
trading day's trading sessions at 8:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
    The Exchange proposes to move the current text of Rule 7.34-
E(T)(a)(2), concerning the Core Trading Session, to subparagraph 
(a)(3). The Exchange proposes no other changes to that provision.
    The Exchange proposes to move the current text of Rule 7.34-
E(T)(a)(3), concerning the Late Trading Session, to subparagraph 
(a)(4). The Exchange proposes to amend that provision to specify that 
the ``Late Trading Session will begin following the conclusion of the 
Core Trading Session and conclude at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time,'' and to 
delete the remainder of the current text.
    The Exchange also proposes to add subparagraph (a)(5) of Rule 7.34-
E(T), titled ``Note about Holidays,'' which would provide: ``If the 
Exchange is closed for a holiday falling between Monday and Friday, the 
Exchange will conclude its Late Trading Session the evening before the 
holiday and will commence the next Overnight Trading Session at 9:00 
p.m. Eastern Time on the evening of the holiday.''
Proposed Changes to Rules 7.31-E and 7.34-E(T)(c)
    Rule 7.31-E (``Orders and Modifiers'') defines the Exchange's order 
types and their applicability during the Exchange's various trading 
sessions. To facilitate 23/5 Trading, the Exchange proposes to amend 
the text pertaining to certain order types to specify the treatment of 
such order types in the Overnight Trading Session.
    First, the Exchange proposes to amend Rule 7.31-E(a)(2)(B)(ii) to 
specify that Limit Order Price Protection, which currently applies to 
the Early and Late Trading Sessions, would also apply to the Overnight 
Trading Session.
    Second, the Exchange proposes to amend Rule 7.31-E(h)(3) to provide 
that Discretionary Pegged Orders, which are currently rejected if they 
are designated for the Early or Late Trading Sessions, would also be 
rejected if designated for the Overnight Trading Session.
    Third, the Exchange proposes to amend Rule 7.31-E(j)(2) to provide 
that Market Makers may enter Q orders in securities in which they are 
registered during the Overnight Trading Session, in addition to during 
the Early and Late Trading Sessions as the rule currently provides.
    In addition, Rule 7.34-E(T)(c) describes the order types permitted 
in each trading session. The Exchange proposes to add new rule text to 
Rule 7.34-E(T)(c) concerning the orders types permitted in the 
Overnight Trading Session. The Exchange proposes to add to Rule 7.34-
E(T)(c)(1) a description of the order types permitted in the Overnight 
Trading Session, and to renumber the remaining provisions of Rule 7.34-
E-(T)(c) accordingly. The proposed text of Rule 7.34-E(T)(c)(1) 
concerning order types in the Overnight Trading Session is based on 
current Rule 7.34-E(T)(c)(1) concerning the Exchange's Early Trading 
Session, as well as Rule 7.34(c)(1) of the Exchange's affiliate NYSE 
National, Inc. (``NYSE National''), which pertains to the order types 
permitted in that exchange's Early Trading Session, which, like the 
Exchange's Overnight Trading Session, operates without auctions. As 
such, the proposed changes are not novel.
    Specifically, proposed Rule 7.34-E(T)(c)(1)(A) would provide that 
Market Orders and Pegged Orders are not eligible to participate in the 
Overnight Trading Session; that Market Orders and Pegged Orders that 
include a designation for the Overnight Trading Session would be 
rejected; and that Market Pegged Orders and Discretionary Pegged 
Orders, regardless of the session designated for the order, may not be 
entered before or during the Overnight Trading Session and will be 
rejected. This proposed rule text is based on the current text of Rule 
7.34-E(T)(c)(1)(A) concerning the Exchange's Early Trading Session, 
without alteration except for replacing ``Early Trading Session'' with 
``Overnight Trading Session.''
    Proposed Rule 7.34-E(T)(c)(1)(B) would provide that Limit Orders 
designated IOC will be accepted if entered during the Overnight Trading 
Session, and will be rejected if designated for execution in any 
trading session other than the Overnight Trading Session. This proposed 
rule text is based on the current text of Rule 7.34-E(T)(c)(1)(B) and 
(C), which permit the entry of Limit Orders designated IOC only during 
the session in which they will execute.
    Proposed Rule 7.34-E(T)(c)(1)(C) would provide that for securities 
not eligible for an auction on the Exchange, Market Orders designated 
for the Core Trading Session and Auction-Only Orders will be routed to 
the primary listing market on arrival. It would further provide that 
any order routed directly to the primary listing market on arrival will 
be cancelled if that market is not accepting orders. This proposed rule 
text is based on the current text of Rule 7.34-E(T)(c)(1)(D) concerning 
the Exchange's Early Trading Session, without alteration.
    Proposed Rule 7.34-E(T)(c)(1)(D) would provide that MOO Orders, MOC 
Orders, LOC Orders, Primary Only Orders, and Directed Orders designated 
for the Overnight Trading Session will be rejected. This proposed rule 
text is based on the current text of Rule 7.34-E(T)(c)(1)(E) concerning 
the Exchange's Early Trading Session, without alteration except for 
replacing ``Early Trading Session'' with ``Overnight Trading Session.''
    Proposed Rule 7.34-E(T)(c)(1)(E) would provide that Non-Displayed 
Limit Orders, MPL Orders, Tracking Orders, and RPI Orders entered 
before the Overnight Trading Session will be rejected. This proposed 
rule text is based on the text of NYSE National Rule 7.34(1)(F) 
concerning the Early Trading Session, without alteration except for 
replacing ``Early Trading Session'' with ``Overnight Trading Session.''
    The Exchange proposes to move the current text of Rule 7.34-
E(T)(c)(1), concerning order types permitted in the Early Trading 
Session, to subparagraph (c)(2). The Exchange proposes no other changes 
to that provision.
    The Exchange proposes to move the current text of Rule 7.34-
E(T)(c)(2), concerning order types permitted in the Core Trading 
Session, to subparagraph (c)(3). The Exchange proposes no other changes 
to that provision.
    The Exchange proposes to move the current text of Rule 7.34-
E(T)(c)(3), concerning order types permitted in the Late Trading 
Session, to subparagraph (c)(4). The Exchange proposes no other changes 
to that provision.
Proposed Change to Rule 7.10-E
    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 7.10-E (``Clearly Erroneous 
Executions'') to specify the portions of the rule that would apply 
during the Overnight Trading Session. Specifically, the proposed 
changes specify that under Rule 7.10-E(c)(2), clearly erroneous review 
will be available to review transactions occurring during the Overnight 
Trading Session on the same basis as currently applies to the Early and 
Late Trading Sessions. There are no substantive differences between the 
applicability of Rule 7.10-E proposed for the Overnight Trading Session 
and the current applicability of the rule to the Early and Late Trading 
Sessions.

[[Page 31511]]

Proposed Change to Rule 7.19-E
    To support 23/5 Trading, the Exchange will offer Entering Firms a 
new risk control under Rule 7.19-E (``Pre-Trade Risk Controls'') that 
would prohibit orders from executing during the Overnight Trading 
Session. The Exchange plans to offer this new risk check as one of the 
Single Order Risk Controls available to Entering Firms under Rule 7.19-
E(b)(2)(C), which permits the Exchange to offer Entering Firms 
``controls related to the order types or modifiers that can be 
utilized.'' Under that rule authority, the Exchange currently allows 
Entering Firms to prohibit orders from executing in each of the 
Exchange's three current trading sessions, and this change would permit 
them to do the same for the Overnight Trading Session. Because this 
risk control falls within the existing rule authority, no rule change 
is required for the Exchange to offer this risk check to Entering 
Firms.
    The Exchange proposes to also permit Clearing Firms to prohibit 
orders from executing during the Overnight Trading Session, when a 
Clearing Firm has been designated by an Entering Firm to enact pre-
trade risk controls on the Entering Firm's behalf. Specifically, the 
Exchange proposes to amend Rule 7.19-E(c)(1) to add a new subparagraph 
(c)(1)(C), which would permit Clearing Firms designated by an Entering 
Firm to prohibit orders from executing during the Overnight Trading 
Session. Rule 7.19-E(c) does not currently enable Clearing Firms to 
prohibit orders from executing during particular trading sessions, so 
the Clearing Firm's ability to prohibit orders from executing during 
the Overnight Trading Session would be a new feature of the rule.
Other Forthcoming Changes
    The Exchange is coordinating with the other equities markets about 
additional proposed rule changes in support of 23/5 Trading, including 
(1) Regulatory Halts for certain corporate actions (Rule 7.18-E) and 
(2) the resumption of trading after a Level 3 Market-Wide Circuit 
Breaker Halt (Rule 7.12-E). The Exchange will propose changes regarding 
those rules in forthcoming rule filings.
Implementation
    As set out above and in the preamble to Rule 7.34-E, when the 
Equity Data Plans have notified the Exchange that they have made the 
required functional changes and are ready to begin processing 23/5 
Trading, the Exchange will file another rule change with the Commission 
before activating 23/5 Trading.
    The preamble currently provides that such rule change must be made 
``within 18 months of the SEC's approval of the Exchange's rule filing 
adopting Rule 7.34-E(T)''--namely, by August 11, 2026. In light of the 
industry's plan to launch Extended Hours Trading on December 6, 2026, 
the Exchange proposes to amend the preamble to replace ``18 months'' 
with ``24 months, which the Exchange expects to do in line with the 
industry's projected readiness date for Extended Hours Trading of 
December 6, 2026.'' This is a non-substantive change and simply extends 
the time for the Exchange to launch Extended Hours Trading to be in 
line with the industry's launch plans.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent 
with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\7\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Proposed Changes to Rule 7.34-E(T)(a). The Exchange believes that 
the proposed amendment would remove impediments to and perfect the 
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system by 
providing a rules framework to support 23/5 Trading, which the Exchange 
believes will increase market accessibility, promote capital formation, 
and facilitate portfolio management.
    As in the Original Filing, the Exchange believes that making this 
change in temporary Rule 7.34-E(T) would promote transparency in 
Exchange rules and add clarity as to which rules are operative and 
when, thereby reducing potential confusion and making the Exchange's 
rules easier to navigate. The preamble to the current version of Rule 
7.34-E would not be changed, and would continue to provide that the 
Exchange will not commence operation of the longer Extended Trading 
Hours prior to filing a proposed rule change to amend its rules 
confirming that the Exchange is able to comply with its obligations 
under the Act during the longer extended trading sessions and that the 
Equity Data Plans are prepared to collect, consolidate, process, and 
disseminate quotations and transaction information at all times during 
the proposed Extended Hours Trading.
    Also as in the Original Filing, the Exchange believes that applying 
the current requirements for extended hours trading--such as order 
designation, permitted orders, and mandatory customer disclosures, as 
well as the operational and regulatory safeguards already in place for 
the current Early, Core, and Late Sessions--to 23/5 Trading would 
promote just and equitable principles of trade and protect investors 
and the public interest. The Exchange's representations in the Original 
Filing with respect to operations, order designation, permitted orders, 
market surveillance, and customer disclosures apply equally to the 23/5 
Trading proposal in this filing, namely:
    <bullet> Operations. The proposed Overnight Trading Session will 
operate in the same way as the current sessions from an operational 
perspective. All order types eligible for such sessions and order type 
behaviors will remain unchanged. The Exchange will route to away 
markets during the proposed Overnight Trading Session just as it 
currently does during the current Early and Late Trading Sessions. 
Order processing during the proposed Overnight Trading Session will 
function the same way it does in the current sessions, with no changes 
to the ranking, display, or decrementation processes or rules.
    <bullet> SIP Processing. The Exchange will submit all quotes and 
trades that are generated in the Overnight Trading Session to the 
consolidated quote and trade systems maintained by the System 
Information Processors (SIPs) for public dissemination. Once the 
Overnight Trading Session is operative, quotes and trades will be made 
available to the investing public in the same manner that quotes and 
trades are currently made available for other trading sessions. Trades 
executed and reported during the Overnight Trading Session will be 
reported to the appropriate network processor with the ``.T'' modifier, 
as is currently the case for all trades executed outside of the Core 
Trading Session.
    <bullet> Corporate Actions. The Exchange will work with primary 
listing exchanges to coordinate trading halts where appropriate, 
including halts implemented due to significant material events (i.e., a 
bankruptcy declaration). During the proposed Overnight Trading Session, 
the Exchange will pause trading in the underlying security until 
trading resumes on the primary listing

[[Page 31512]]

market for the security. Generally, regardless of trading session, when 
a halt has been declared on the primary market, the Exchange will also 
halt trading automatically in the subject security on NYSE Arca. 
Exchange staff will be available during the Overnight Trading Session 
in order to maintain a fair and orderly market, make any necessary 
rulings, or take any action that may be necessary. Similarly, Exchange 
staff will be available if any action such as declaration of a halt in 
a NYSE Arca primary symbol would be necessary in the event of a system 
malfunction or significant material event such as a bankruptcy 
declaration.
    <bullet> Market Surveillance. The Exchange's current regulatory 
program will be fully applicable to trading in the proposed Overnight 
Trading Session.
    <bullet> Customer Disclosures. The enhanced customer disclosures in 
Rule 7.34-E(T)(d) regarding the potential risks associated with trading 
during Extended Hours Trading will apply to the Overnight Trading 
Session.
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to begin accepting orders 
before the Overnight Trading Session at 8:59 p.m. Eastern Time (instead 
of 30 minutes before the session begins, as the current version of Rule 
7.34-E(T)(a) provides) would remove impediments to and perfect the 
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system. Under 
23/5 Trading, trading will not be available during the one-hour pause 
starting at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday through Thursday, during 
which time the Exchange's systems will perform end-of-day functions, 
undergo a technical refresh, restart, and prepare for the commencement 
of trading at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The Exchange's systems would not 
be available to accept orders 30 minutes before the Overnight Trading 
Session begins, as the rule currently provides, since the Exchange's 
systems will be undergoing their refresh and restart processes around 
that time. Instead, the Exchange believes that it would 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 for the Exchange to begin accepting orders for the 
Overnight Trading Session one minute before it starts, which would 
accommodate the Exchange's system reset while still permitting market 
participants to place orders before the session begins.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The various exchanges that plan to adopt 23/5 Trading have 
taken different approaches to this issue, based upon their own 
system architecture and requirements. For instance, Nasdaq plans to 
start accepting orders at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time, when their systems 
open for trading, with no advance opportunity for market 
participants to submit and queue orders, while Cboe has proposed 
that its EDGX exchange would start accepting orders at 8:55 p.m. 
Eastern Time. See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 105199 n. 82 
(April 10, 2026), 91 FR 20222 (April 15, 2026) (SR-NASDAQ-2025-109) 
(``[T]he Exchange will begin accepting orders for the Night Session 
at 9:00 p.m. ET . . .''); 105206 (April 10, 2026), 91 FR 20213 
(April 15, 2026) (SR-CboeEDGEX-2026-19) (proposed Rule 11.25(a)(2) 
provides that EDGX will begin accepting orders at the Order 
Acceptance Queuing Time of 8:55 p.m. Eastern Time). The Exchange's 
proposal to start accepting orders at 8:59 p.m. Eastern Time is thus 
within the range proposed by its competitor exchanges and is 
reasonable. The Exchange also notes than when it starts accepting 
orders at 8:59 p.m. Eastern Time, it will accept orders for all 
trading sessions that day, not just the Overnight Trading Session. 
See proposed Rule 7.34-E(T)(a)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that its proposal to commence trading in the 
Overnight Trading Session at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time with continuous 
trading, and to retain the Early Opening Auction to open the Early 
Trading Session at 4:00 a.m. Eastern Time, would remove impediments to 
and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national 
market system. The Exchange's affiliate NYSE National operates without 
auctions and starts its Early Trading Session with continuous trading, 
so the practice is not novel. Given the initial expectation of thinner 
liquidity at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time, the Exchange believes it is 
reasonable to open the Overnight Trading Session with continuous order 
matching. In addition, the Exchange believes it is in the public 
interest to retain its 4:00 a.m. Early Opening Auction, to minimize any 
disruption to the Early Trading Session and to enable market 
participants that currently utilize that auction to continue to do so 
even after the Overnight Trading Session is launched.
    Proposed Changes to Rules 7.34(T)-E(c) and 7.31-E. The Exchange 
believes that its proposed changes to Rules 7.34(T)-E(c)(c) and 7.31-E 
would remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and 
open market and a national market system and, in general, protect 
investors and the public interest by specifying the order types 
available in the Overnight Trading Session. The proposed text of Rule 
7.34-E(T)(c)(1) concerning order types in the Overnight Trading 
Session, is based on current Rule 7.34-E(T)(c)(1) concerning the 
Exchange's Early Trading Session, as well as NYSE National Rule 
7.34(c)(1), which pertains to the order types permitted in that 
exchange's Early Trading Session, which, like the Exchange's Overnight 
Trading Session, operates without auctions. As such, the proposed 
changes are not novel.
    Proposed Changes to Rule 7.10-E. The Exchange believes that its 
proposed changes to Rule 7.10-E would remove impediments to and perfect 
the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system 
and, in general, protect investors and the public interest by 
clarifying the applicability of the Exchange's Clearly Erroneous Rule 
to the Overnight Trading Session. That rule would operate in the same 
way as it applies to the Exchange's Early and Late Trading Sessions, 
and therefore is not novel.
    Proposed Changes to Rule 7.19-E. The Exchange believes that its 
proposed changes to Rule 7.19-E(c) would remove impediments to and 
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market 
system and, in general, protect investors and the public interest by 
permitting an Entering Firm to exercise a pre-trade risk control 
prohibiting orders from executing in the Overnight Trading Session, and 
permitting an Entering Firm to give permission for its Clearing Firm to 
similarly prohibit orders from executing during the Overnight Trading 
Session. Although the current version of the rule does not permit 
Clearing Firms to set risk controls that prohibit orders from executing 
during particular sessions, the Exchange believes that, in light of the 
potential risks associated with Extended Hours Trading, investor 
protection and the public interest are enhanced by permitting Clearing 
Firms so-designated by Entering Firms to prohibit orders from executing 
during the Overnight Trading Session.

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 change is 
designed to add the Overnight Trading Session and to amend the hours 
for the Exchange's Early Trading Session and the Late Trading Session, 
and to make corresponding changes to other rules to provide for 23/5 
Trading. The Exchange operates in a highly competitive environment in 
which unaffiliated exchange competitors and new entrants could compete 
to offer extended hours trading of similar duration, and the proposal 
would therefore enable the Exchange to compete on a more level playing 
field with these competitors.

    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 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 
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.

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

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \11\ normally 
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the 
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b4(f)(6)(iii),\12\ the Commission 
may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the 
protection of investors and the public interest.

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

    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) \13\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed 
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
