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 Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose

Effective July 1, 2010, NYSE Arca proposes to set volume requirements for both Tier 1 and Tier 2 based on average U.S. consolidated daily volumes. Volume requirements to reach the tiered pricing levels will adjust each calendar month based on U.S. average daily consolidated share volume in Tape A, Tape B, Tape C securities (“U.S. ADV”) for that given month. U.S. ADV is equal to the volume reported by all exchanges and trade reporting facilities to the Consolidated Tape Association (“CTA”) Plan for Tapes A, B and C [sic] securities.

Tier 1: Currently, Tier 1 pricing is applied to customers with an average daily volume in shares per month of greater than 55 million shares that add liquidity in Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C securities combined. Starting July 1, the monthly requirement will be based on U.S. ADV for that given month as follows:

—When U.S. ADV is 8 billion shares or less, the requirement for adding liquidity will be 50 million shares average daily volume in Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C combined.

—When U.S. ADV is greater than 8 billion up to 10 billion shares, the requirement for adding liquidity will [sic] 55 million shares average daily volume in Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C combined.

—When U.S. ADV is greater than 10 billion up to 11 billion shares, the requirement for adding liquidity will [sic] 65 million shares average daily volume in Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C combined.

—When U.S. ADV is greater than 11 billion up to 12 billion shares, the requirement for adding liquidity will [sic] 75 million shares average daily volume in Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C combined.

—When U.S. ADV is greater than 12 billion up to 13 billion shares, the requirement for adding liquidity will [sic] 85 million shares average daily volume in Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C combined.

—When U.S. ADV is greater than 13 billion shares, the requirement for adding liquidity will [sic] 95 million shares average daily volume in Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C combined.

Tier 2: Currently, Tier 2 pricing is applied to customers with an average daily volume in shares per month of greater than 25 million shares that add liquidity in Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C securities combined. Starting July 1, the monthly requirement will be based on U.S. ADV for that given month as follows:

—When U.S. ADV is 8 billion shares or less, the requirement for adding liquidity will be 20 million shares average daily volume in Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C combined.

—When U.S. ADV is greater than 8 billion up to 10 billion shares, the requirement for adding liquidity will [sic] 25 million shares average daily volume in Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C combined.

—When U.S. ADV is greater than 10 billion up to 11 billion shares, the requirement for adding liquidity will [sic] 30 million shares average daily volume in Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C combined.

—When U.S. ADV is greater than 11 billion up to 12 billion shares, the requirement for adding liquidity will [sic] 35 million shares average daily volume in Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C combined.

—When U.S. ADV is greater than 12 billion up to 13 billion shares, the requirement for adding liquidity will [sic] 40 million shares average daily volume in Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C combined.

—When U.S. ADV is greater than 13 billion shares, the requirement for adding liquidity will [sic] 45 million shares average daily volume in Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C combined.

Transactions that are not reported to the Consolidated Tape, such as odd-lots and Crossing Session 2 transactions, are not included in U.S. ADV. The Exchange will make this data publically [sic] available on a T + 1 basis from a link at http://www.nyxdata.com.

The Exchange believes the proposed changes to the tiers are equitable in that they apply uniformly to all ETP Holders. The proposed changes will become operative on July 1, 2010.

2. Statutory Basis

The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the provisions of Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”),^[4] in general, and Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,^[5] in particular, in that it is designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its members and other persons using its facilities. The proposed changes to the Schedule are reasonable and equitable in that they apply uniformly to all ETP Holders.

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

The foregoing rule change is effective upon filing pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) ^[6] of the Act and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4 ^[7] thereunder, because it establishes a due, fee, or other charge imposed by NYSE Arca on its members.

At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate 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.
