Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE National, Inc.; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Amending Rule 11.26 To Modify the Date of Appendix B Web site Data Publication Pursuant to the Regulation NMS Plan To Implement a Tick Size Pilot Program

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) and Rule 19b-4 thereunder, notice is hereby given that on July 18, 2017, NYSE National, Inc. (the “Exchange” or “NYSE NAT”) 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 11.26 to modify the date of Appendix B Web site data publication pursuant to the Regulation NMS Plan to Implement a Tick Size Pilot Program (“Plan”). 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 the Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose

Rule 11.26(b) (Compliance with Data Collection Requirements) implements the data collection and Web site publication requirements of the Plan. Interpretations and Policies .08 to Rule 11.26 provides, among other things, that the requirement that the Exchange or their [sic] DEA make certain data publicly available on the Exchange's or DEA's Web site pursuant to Appendix B and C to the Plan shall commence at the beginning of the Pilot Period, and that the Exchange or their [sic] DEA shall make data for the Pre-Pilot Period publicly available on the Exchange's or DEA's Web site pursuant to Appendix B and C of the Plan by February 28, 2017.

The Exchange is proposing to amend Interpretations and Policies .08 to Rule 11.26 to delay the date by which Pre-Pilot and Pilot Appendix B data is to be made publicly available on the Exchange's or DEA's Web site from February 28, 2017, until August 31, 2017. Appendix C data for the Pre-Pilot Period through the month of January 2017 was published on the DEA's Web site on February 28, 2017, and, thereafter, on the original 30-day schedule.

The Exchange is also proposing to delete the words “and make certain data publicly available on the Exchange's or DEA's Web site” in the second sentence to Interpretations and Policies .08 to Rule 11.26 as it is duplicate of the requirement in third sentence.

Pursuant to this proposed amendment, Appendix B data publication would be delayed until August 31, 2017, with the Exchange publishing the required Appendix B data for the Pre-Pilot Period through April 30, 2017, by August 31, 2017. Thereafter, Appendix B data for a particular month would be published within 120 calendar days following such month end. Thus, for example, Appendix B data for May 2017 would be made available on the Exchange's or DEA's Web site by September 28, 2017, and data for June 2017 would be made available on the Exchange's or DEA's Web site by October 28, 2017. This proposed rule change would align the Exchange's rules with those of the other Participants and is consistent with the Commission's Exemptive Relief I and Exemptive Relief II.

2. Statutory Basis

The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act, in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act, in particular, in that it is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.

The Plan is designed to allow the Commission, market participants, and the public to study and assess the impact of increment conventions on the liquidity and trading of the common stock of small-capitalization companies. The Exchange believes that this proposal is consistent with the Act because it is in furtherance of the objectives of Section VII(A) of the Plan in that it is designed to provide the Exchange with additional time to assess a means of addressing the confidentiality concerns raised in connection with the publication of Appendix B data and to comply with the Plan's requirements that the data made publicly available will not identify the trading center that generated the data.

The Exchange ceased operations on February 1, 2017 and erroneously understood that it was not thereafter required to modify its rules to reflect extensions of the deadlines to publish data on its Web site. The purpose of this filing is to correct that error and would align the Exchange's rules with the rules of the other Participants and is consistent with the Commission's Exemptive Relief I and Exemptive Relief II.

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

The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. To the contrary, the proposed rule change will result in the Exchange's rules being consistent with those of other national securities exchanges and all of the other Participants under the Plan. The Exchange believes that the proposed amendment is consistent with the goal of removing impediments to a free and open market because it would harmonize the Exchange's rules with rules of other exchanges, further promote fair competition in trading among exchanges, and help implement the provisions of the Plan, as it is designed to assist the Participants in meeting their regulatory obligations pursuant to the Plan.

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 designated this proposed rule change as non-controversial under Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder. 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) thereunder.

A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii), the Commission may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal may become operative immediately upon filing. The Exchange believes that waiving the operative delay would be consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest because the proposed rule change would immediately align the Exchange's rules with those of the other Participants. The Commission believes that synchronizing the timing for publication of Appendix B data for all Participants should enhance the consistency and usefulness of the data. Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the operative delay and designates the proposed rule change operative upon filing.

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