Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) [^1] of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) [^2] and Rule 19b-4 thereunder, [^3] notice is hereby given that, on December 30, 2025, 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 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.

[^2] 15 U.S.C. 78a.
[^3] 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
**I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change**
The Exchange proposes to amend the NYSE Arca Equities Proprietary Market Data Fees (the “Fee Schedule”) regarding the Multiple Data Feed Fee. The proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's website at *www.nyse.com* and 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 Fee Schedule regarding the Multiple Data Feed Fee, effective January 2, 2026. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to eliminate the Multiple Data Feed Fee for NYSE Arca BBO and NYSE Arca Trades. The Multiple Data Feed Fee applies to data recipients that take a data feed for a market data product in more than two locations. The Exchange proposes to eliminate this fee for the NYSE Arca BBO and NYSE Arca Trades market data products based on its limited application, as few data recipients have sought to take these data feeds in multiple locations. Accordingly, this proposed change would improve transparency and simplify the Fee Schedule by removing an underutilized fee.
**2. Statutory Basis**
The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the provisions of Section 6 of the Act, [^4] in general, and Sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act, [^5] in particular, in that it provides an equitable allocation of reasonable fees among users and recipients of the data and is not designed to permit unfair discrimination among customers, issuers, and brokers.
[^4] 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
[^5] 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4), (5).
The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change to eliminate the Multiple Data Feed Fee with respect to the NYSE Arca BBO and NYSE Arca Trades data feeds is reasonable because few data subscribers have opted to take these data feeds in multiple locations, resulting in limited application of this fee. The Exchange believes it is reasonable to eliminate a fee such as this one when it is underutilized, thereby simplifying the Fee Schedule and promoting clarity and transparency as to the fees currently charged by the Exchange. The Exchange also believes that the proposed change is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because the Multiple Data Feed Fee for NYSE Arca BBO and NYSE Arca Trades would be eliminated entirely and would no longer apply to any data subscriber. Accordingly, all data subscribers that take these data feeds would continue to be subject to the same fee structure. The Exchange also believes that the proposed change would promote the protection of investors and the public interest because the deletion of underutilized fees would make the Fee Schedule more accessible and transparent and facilitate market participants' understanding of the fees charged for the Exchange's market data products.
For the foregoing reasons, the Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with the Act.
**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. Indeed, as demonstrated above, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is pro-competitive.
*Intramarket Competition.* The Exchange believes that the proposed change would not place any undue burden on intramarket competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, given the limited applicability of the fee it proposes to eliminate. As noted above, given the small number of data subscribers that have chosen to take the NYSE Arca BBO and NYSE Arca Trades data feeds in multiple locations, the Multiple Data Feed Fee has been underutilized. The Exchange also believes that the proposed change would neither favor nor penalize any data subscribers in a manner that would impose an undue burden on competition, as all data subscribers that take these data feeds would continue to be subject to the same fee structure.
*Intermarket Competition.* The Exchange believes that the proposed change does not impose a burden on intermarket competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed change is not intended to address any competitive issue and is intended only to simplify the Fee Schedule by eliminating an underutilized fee. In addition, because market data users remain free to seek alternative market data products to the extent they deem an exchange's market data fees to be unsuitable, competitive pressures ensure that no one exchange's market data fees can impose an unnecessary burden on competition, and the proposed change does not do so here.
**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 the Exchange.
[^6] 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
[^7] 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
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) [^8] of the Act to determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or disapproved.
