provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) [1]
and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,[2]
notice is hereby given that, on November 24, 2009, NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca” or the “Exchange”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. 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
NYSE Arca, through its wholly owned subsidiary NYSE Arca Equities, Inc. (“NYSE Arca Equities”), is proposing to amend its Schedule of Fees and Charges for Exchange Services (“Fee Schedule”) to revise the Listing Fees and Annual Fees applicable to Derivative Securities Products listed on NYSE Arca, LLC (“NYSE Arca Marketplace”), the equities facility of NYSE Arca Equities. The revised portions of the Fee Schedule are attached to the filing as Exhibit 5. A copy of this filing is available on the Exchange's Web site at
http://www.nyx.com,
at the Exchange's principal office 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
NYSE Arca has determined to amend the Exchange's Schedule of Fees and Changes for Exchange Services to revise the Listing Fee and Annual Fee applicable to Derivative Securities Products (“DSPs”) listed on the NYSE Arca Marketplace.[3]
Specifically, the Exchange proposes to increase the Listing Fee for each issue of DSPs, with the exception of Managed Fund Shares listed under NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.600, and Managed Trust Securities listed under NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.700, from $5,000 to $7,500. For Managed Fund Shares and Managed Trust Securities, the Listing Fee will be $10,000.
In addition, the Exchange proposes to amend the Annual Fee applicable to DSPs. For DSPs, with the exception of Managed Fund Shares and Managed Trust Securities, the Exchange proposes to increase the Annual Fee to $5,000 for each such issue with fewer than 25 million shares outstanding; $7,500 for each such issue with 25 million to 49,999,999 shares outstanding; and $10,000 for each such issue with 50 million to 99,999,999 shares outstanding. The current Annual Fee for all DSP issues is $2,000 for an issue with less than 25 million shares outstanding; $4,000 for an issue with 25 million to 49,999,999 shares outstanding; and $8,000 for an issue with 50 million to 99,999,999 shares outstanding. For DSP issues, except for Managed Fund Shares and Managed Trust Securities, that have 100 million shares or more outstanding, the Annual Fee will remain unchanged.
For Managed Fund Shares and Managed Trust Securities, the Exchange proposes to impose an Annual Fee for each such issue as follows:
The Exchange believes that the proposed increases in the Listing Fee and, for certain DSPs, in the Annual Fee, are reasonable and appropriate in view of the increased costs incurred by the Exchange to support the rule making process, listing administration process, issuer services, and consultative legal services provided to issuers in support of new product development as the industry evolves with innovative product lines for investors.
( printed page 65569)
The Exchange believes that a higher Listing Fee and Annual Fee for Managed Fund Shares and Managed Trust Securities, compared to other DSPs, is appropriate in that the Exchange generally expends greater resources to provide services in connection with the listing and administration of such securities than for other DSPs.
The Exchange notes further that the proposed Listing Fee and Annual Fee for DSPs are substantially lower than such fees for listing of common and preferred stock on the Exchange. The Listing Fee for common and preferred stock ranges from $100,000 to $150,000, and the Annual Fee ranges from $30,000 to $85,000.
The Listing Fee and Annual Fee as proposed to be amended will take effect as of January 1, 2010.
2. Statutory Basis
NYSE Arca believes that the proposal is consistent with Section 6(b) [4]
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”), in general, and Section 6(b)(4) [5]
of the Act, in particular, in that it provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among its issuers and other persons using its facilities. The Exchange believes that the proposed Listing Fee and, for certain DSPs, Annual Fee increases are reasonable and appropriate in view of costs incurred for administrative and regulatory services provided by the Exchange with respect to such DSP issues.
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.
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
Within 35 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register
or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:
(A) By order approve the proposed rule change, or
(B) Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved.
IV. Solicitation of Comments
