Pursuant to Section 11A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”),^[1] and Rule 608 thereunder,^[2] notice is hereby given that on October 19, 2010, the Consolidated Tape Association (“CTA”) Plan and Consolidated Quotation (“CQ”) Plan participants (“Participants”) ^[3] filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) a proposal to amend the Second Restatement of the CTA Plan and Restated CQ Plan (collectively, the “Plans”).^[4] The proposal represents the Seventeenth substantive amendment to the CTA Plan (“Seventeenth Amendment to the CTA Plan”) and the Thirteenth substantive amendment to the CQ Plan (“Thirteenth Amendment to the CQ Plan”), and reflects changes unanimously adopted by the Participants. The Seventeenth Amendment to the CTA Plan and the Thirteenth Amendment to the CQ Plan (“Amendments”) propose to add BATS Y-Exchange, Inc. to the Plans. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments from interested persons on the proposed Amendments.

I. Rule 608(a)

A. Purpose of the Amendments

The amendment proposes to add BATS Y-Exchange, Inc. as a new Participant to each Plan.

B. Governing or Constituent Documents

Not applicable.

C. Implementation of the Amendments

Because the Amendments constitute “Ministerial Amendments” under both clause (1) of Section IV(b) of the CTA Plan and clause (1) of Section IV(c) of the CQ Plan, the Chairman of the CTA Plan and the CQ Plan's Operating Committee may submit these amendments to the Commission on behalf of the Participants in the CTA Plan and the CQ Plan. Because the Participants designate the amendments as concerned solely with the administration of the Plans, the amendments become effective upon filing with the Commission.

D. Development and Implementation Phases

Not applicable.

E. Analysis of Impact on Competition

The proposed amendment does not impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Exchange Act.
