Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(‘‘PRA’’) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the existing collection of information
provided for in Rule 608 (17 CFR
242.608) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). The
Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval.
Rule 608 specifies procedures for
filing or amending national market
system plans (‘‘NMS Plans’’). Selfregulatory organizations (‘‘SROs’’) filing
a new NMS Plan must submit the text
of the NMS Plan to the Commission,
along with a statement of purpose, and,
if applicable, specified supporting
materials that may include: (1) a copy of
all governing or constituent documents,
(2) a description of the manner in which

the NMS Plan, and any facility or
procedure contemplated by the NMS
Plan, will be implemented, (3) a listing
of all significant phases of development
and implementation contemplated by
the NMS Plan, including a projected
completion date for each phase, (4) an
analysis of the competitive impact of
implementing the NMS Plan, (5) a
description of any written agreements or
understandings between or among plan
participants or sponsors relating to
interpretations of the NMS Plan or
conditions for becoming a plan
participant or sponsor, and (6) a
description of the manner in which any
facility contemplated by the NMS Plan
shall be operated. Participants or
sponsors to the NMS Plan must ensure
that a current and complete version of
the NMS Plan is posted on a designated
website or a plan website after being
notified by the Commission that the
NMS Plan is effective. Each plan
participant or sponsor must also provide
a link on its own website to the current
website to the current version of the
NMS Plan.
The Commission estimates that the
creation and submission of a new NMS
Plan and any related materials would
result in an average aggregate burden of
approximately 1020 hours per year (30
SROs × 34 hours = 1020 hours). The
Commission further estimates an
average aggregate burden of
approximately 150 hours per year (30
SROs × 5 hours = 150 hours), for each
of the SROs to keep a current and
complete version of the NMS Plan
posted on a designated website or a plan
website, and to provide a link to the
current version of the NMS Plan on its
own website. In addition, the
Commission estimates that the creation
of a new NMS Plan and any related
materials would result in an average
aggregate cost of approximately
$226,914 per year (30 SROs × $7,563.80
= $226,914).
SROs proposing to amend an existing
NMS Plan must submit the text of the
amendment to the Commission, along
with a statement of purpose, and, if
applicable, the supporting materials
described above, as well as a statement
that the amendment has been approved
by the plan participants or sponsors in
accordance with the terms of the NMS
Plan. Participants or sponsors to the
NMS Plan must ensure that any
proposed amendments are posted to a
designated website or a plan website
after filing the amendments with the
Commission and that those websites are
updated to reflect the current status of
the amendment and the NMS Plan. Each
plan participant or sponsor must also
provide a link on its own website to the

current version of the NMS Plan. The
Commission estimates that the creation
and submission of NMS Plan
amendments and any related materials
would result in an average aggregate
burden of approximately 13,260 hours
per year (30 SROs × 442 hours = 13,260
hours). The Commission further
estimates an average aggregate burden of
approximately 148 hours per year (30
SROs × 4.94 hours = 148.2 hours,
rounded down to 148) for SROs to post
any pending NMS Plan amendments to
a designated website or a plan website
and to update such websites to reflect
the current status of the amendment and
the NMS Plan. In addition, the
Commission estimates that the creation
of an NMS Plan amendment and any
related materials would result in an
average aggregate cost of approximately
$491,790 per year (30 SROs × $16,393
= $491,790).
Finally, to the extent that a plan
processor is required for any facility
contemplated by a NMS Plan, the plan
participants or sponsors must file with
the Commission a statement identifying
the plan processor selected, describing
the material terms under which the plan
processor is to serve, and indicating the
solicitation efforts, if any, for alternative
plan processors, the alternatives
considered, and the reasons for the
selection of the plan processor. The
Commission estimates that the
preparation and materials related to the
selection of a plan processor would
result in an average aggregate burden of
approximately 340 hours per year (30
SROs × 11.33 hours = 339.9, rounded up
to 340). In addition, the Commission
estimates that the preparation and
submission of materials related to the
selection of a plan processor would
result in an average aggregate cost of
approximately $12,610 per year (30
SROs × $420.33 = $12,609.90, rounded
up to $12,610).
The above estimates result in a total
annual industry burden of
approximately 14,918 hours (1020 + 150
+ 13,260 + 148 + 340) and a total annual
industry cost of approximately $731,314
($226,914 + $491,790 + $12,610).
Compliance with Rule 608 is
mandatory. The text of the NMS Plans
and any amendments will not be
confidential but published on a
designated website or a plan website. To
the extent that Rule 608 requires the
SROs to submit confidential information
to the Commission, that information
will be kept confidential subject to the
provisions of applicable law.1 The SROs

are required by law to retain the records
and information that are collected
pursuant to Rule 608 for a period of not
less than 5 years, the first 2 years in an
easily accessible place.2 Rule 608 does
not affect this existing requirement.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
whether this proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the SEC,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of
the SEC’s estimate of the burden
imposed by the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and the assumptions
used; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including
through the use of automated, electronic
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.

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 the
Connectivity Fee Schedule to add MX2
Options to the list of third party data
feeds to which Users can connect. The
proposed rule change is available on the
Exchange’s website at www.nyse.com, 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
The Exchange proposes to amend the
Connectivity Fee Schedule to add MX2
Options to the list of third party data
feeds to which Users 4 can connect.
Currently, Users are offered connectivity
to data feeds from third party markets
and other content service providers
(‘‘Third Party Data Feeds’’) at the
Mahwah, New Jersey data center
(‘‘MDC’’).5 The Exchange now proposes
to amend the list to incorporate a new
feed from MX 2 LLC (‘‘MX2 Options’’).6
4 For purposes of the Exchange’s colocation
services, a ‘‘User’’ means any market participant
that requests to receive colocation services directly
from the Exchange. See Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 76008 (September 29, 2015), 80 FR
60190 (October 5, 2015) (SR–NYSE–2015–40). As
specified in the Fee Schedule, a User that incurs
colocation fees for a particular colocation service
pursuant thereto would not be subject to colocation
fees for the same colocation service charged by
NYSE American LLC, NYSE Arca, Inc., NYSE
National, Inc. and NYSE Texas, Inc. (together, the
‘‘Affiliate SROs’’). Each Affiliate SRO has submitted
substantially the same proposed rule change to
propose the change described herein.
5 Through its Fixed Income and Data Services
(‘‘FIDS’’) business, Intercontinental Exchange, Inc.
(‘‘ICE’’) operates the MDC. The Exchange and the
Affiliate SROs are indirect subsidiaries of ICE.
