II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Amendment

    New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'' or the ``Exchange'') hereby 
submits this Partial Amendment No. 1 to the above-referenced filing 
(``Filing''), in connection with the proposed rule change to establish 
a schedule of Wireless Connectivity Fees and Charges (the ``Wireless 
Fee Schedule'') with wireless connections between the Mahwah, New 
Jersey data center and other data centers. With this Partial Amendment 
No. 1, the Exchange proposes a new rule to place restrictions on the 
use of a pole on the grounds of the Mahwah, New Jersey data center that 
is used for such wireless connections.
    The Exchange proposes the following amendments to the Filing:
    1. The Exchange proposes to amend the first paragraph in Item 1(a) 
on page 3 of the Filing:
    The Exchange proposes to amend the first paragraph of Item 1(a) on 
page 3 of the Filing to add ``(a)'' before ``establish'' and add new 
text at the end of the paragraph to describe the proposed rule change, 
as follows (new text underlined):
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TN07AU20.002

    2. The Exchange proposes to amend the carryover paragraph on pages 
3 and 4 of the Filing (second full paragraph on page 24 of the Exhibit 
1):
    The Exchange proposes to add a sentence at the end of the carryover 
paragraph on pages 3 and 4 of the Filing (second full paragraph on page 
24 of the Exhibit 1) to describe the proposed rule change, as follows 
(new text underlined):
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TN07AU20.003

    3. The Exchange proposes to add a new section titled ``Proposed New 
Rule'' and accompanying footnotes after the first full paragraph on 
page 14 of the Filing (first full paragraph on page 39 of the Exhibit 
1):
    The Exchange proposes a new rule to place restrictions on the use 
of a pole on the grounds of the Mahwah, New Jersey data center that is 
used for wireless connectivity services. Accordingly, the Exchange 
proposes to add a new section

[[Page 47994]]

titled ``Proposed New Rule'' with accompanying footnotes (subsequent 
footnotes would be renumbered in a conforming change) after the first 
full paragraph on page 14 of the Filing (first full paragraph on page 
39 of the Exhibit 1), after the end of the section titled ``Proposed 
General Note,'' as follows (all text is new):

Proposed New Rule

    Since 2016, IDS has had the use of a pole on the grounds of the 
Mahwah data center.25/26 The data center pole is part of 
the network utilized for the Wireless Connections to the Carteret 
and Secaucus Third Party Data Centers.26/27 At the data 
center pole, the wireless connection to the Third Party Data Centers 
converts to a fiber connection, and the fiber connection travels 
from the data center pole into the Mahwah data 
center.27/28 The equipment on the data center pole 
belongs to IDS and Anova Technologies, LLC (``Anova''), the non-ICE 
entity that owns the wireless network used for the Wireless 
Connections to Secaucus and Carteret.28/29
    Other third parties that offer wireless services utilize 
commercial poles located outside the grounds of the Mahwah, New 
Jersey data center for their wireless networks. A third party's 
wireless connections to the Third Party Data Center convert to fiber 
connections at the commercial pole, and the fiber connects the 
commercial pole to the Mahwah data center.
    Several such third parties have objected to the use of the data 
center pole for the Wireless Connections. They argue that IDS has an 
advantage over its competitors because third parties are not allowed 
access to the data center pole,29/30 and the data center 
pole is closer to the Mahwah data center than any commercial 
pole.30/31 At least one third party has raised the 
additional concern that the Wireless Connections may benefit from 
``less obvious and more discreet types of latency advantages'' due 
to infrastructure inside the Mahwah data center, noting that ``some 
connections may have a longer fiber route than others within a data 
center or may have to go through various equipment or meet me rooms 
that an affiliate or preferred provider of an exchange do not.'' 
31/32
    The Exchange is proposing a new Rule 3.13 (Data Center Pole 
Latency Restrictions--Connectivity to Co-Location Space) that would 
require that the length of the connection from the data center pole 
to the network row in the space used for co-location in the Mahwah 
data center (i.e., the point where the Wireless Connections lead) be 
no less than the length of the connection from the closest 
commercial pole to the same point. By requiring that the compared 
connections both extend to the network row in the space used for co-
location, the proposed rule would take distances within the Mahwah 
data center into account.

    The proposed rule would include the following definitions:

     ``Commercial Pole'' would mean a pole (a) on which one 
or more third parties locate wireless equipment used to offer 
wireless connectivity to other third parties, and (b) from which a 
fiber connection extends from third party equipment on the pole to 
the Data Center.
     ``Data Center'' would mean the Mahwah, New Jersey data 
center where the Exchange's matching engine is located, or its 
successor.
     ``Data Center Pole'' would mean a pole that (a) holds 
wireless equipment, (b) is located within the grounds of the Data 
Center, and (c) cannot be used by third parties other than third 
parties with which the Exchange or an ICE Affiliate has an agreement 
to provide services in the name of the Exchange or an ICE Affiliate.
     ``ICE Affiliate'' would mean Intercontinental Exchange, 
Inc. (``ICE'') and any entity that directly or indirectly, through 
one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under 
common control with ICE, where ``control'' means that one entity 
possesses, directly or indirectly, voting control of the other 
entity either through ownership of capital stock or other equity 
securities or through majority representation on the board of 
directors or other management body of such entity.

    The proposed rule would require that:

    the length of the connection between (a) the base of the Data 
Center Pole and (b) the network row in the space used for co-
location in the Data Center shall be no less than the length of the 
connection between (x) the base of the closest Commercial Pole and 
(y) the network row in the space used for co-location in the Data 
Center.

    In a conforming change, the Exchange proposes to replace 
``Reserved'' with ``Organization and Administration'' in the heading of 
Section 3P. The revised heading would be consistent with changes 
proposed by the Affiliate SROs to their rules.32/33

25/26 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 76748 
(December 23, 3015), 80 FR 81609 (December 30, 2015) (SR-NYSE-2015-
52) (order approving proposed rule change to the co-location 
services offered by the NYSE (the offering of a wireless connection 
to allow users to receive market data feeds from third party 
markets) and to reflect changes to the NYSE's price list related to 
these services).

26/27 The Wireless Connections with Markham, Canada do 
not use equipment on the data center pole.
27/28 The wireless network similarly converts to a fiber 
connection for its connection into the Third Party Data Centers.
28/29 Equipment for services Anova offers under its own 
name is not allowed on the data center pole.
29/30 IDS does not sell rights to third parties to 
operate wireless equipment on the data center pole due to space 
limitations, security concerns, and the interference that would 
arise between equipment placed too closely together.

Regulatory Affairs, Bloomberg L.P., to Ms. Vanessa Countryman, 
Secretary, Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''),

Connectivity Fees and Charges with wireless connections).

    4. The Exchange proposes to add new text after the third full 
paragraph on page 15 of the Filing (first full paragraph on page 41 of 
the Exhibit 1):
    The Exchange proposes to amend the Filing to include additional 
analysis of the competitive environment for wireless connections. 
Accordingly, the Exchange proposes to add a paragraph and accompanying 
footnote (subsequent footnotes would be renumbered in a conforming 
change) after the third full paragraph on page 15 of the Filing (first 
full paragraph on page 41 of the Exhibit 1), as follows (all text new):

    The Exchange believes that its competitors' wireless connections 
provide connectivity at the same or similar speed as the Wireless 
Connections, and at the same or similar cost. Indeed, the McKay 
Letter acknowledges that McKay Brothers has the fastest wireless 
network.34/35

34/35 McKay Letter, supra note 30/31, at 4.

    5. The Exchange proposes to amend the Statutory Basis section of 
the Filing after the first full paragraph on page 18 of the Filing 
(first full paragraph on page 45 of the Exhibit 1):
    The Exchange proposes to include information in the Filing 
regarding why it believes the proposed new rule is reasonable. The 
Exchange proposes to amend the Statutory Basis section of the Filing to 
add new paragraphs and accompanying footnotes (subsequent footnotes 
would be renumbered in a conforming change) after the first full 
paragraph on page 18 of the Filing (first full paragraph on page 45 of 
the Exhibit

[[Page 47995]]

1), at the end of the section titled ``The Proposed Change is 
Reasonable,'' as follows (all text is new):

    The Exchange believes that the proposed new Rule 3.13 would be 
reasonable as, pursuant to the rule, the networks for the Wireless 
Connections, and future wireless connections that use a Data Center 
Pole, would ``operat[e] in the same manner as competitors do today 
without a latency subsidy or other advantage provided by the 
Exchanges. . . .'' 39/40 Accordingly, the proposed new 
rule would promote just and equitable principles of trade and, in 
general, protect investors and the public interest by ensuring that 
the subscribers to services using the IDS wireless network do not 
benefit from any physical proximity ``on the segment [of the 
network] closest to the Exchanges' data center that no competitor 
can replicate.'' 40/41 By ending both of the compared 
connections at the network row in the space used for co-location, 
the proposed rule would take distances within the Mahwah data center 
into account.
    The proposed new rule would not apply differently to distinct 
types or sizes of market participants. The Exchange would be 
required to ensure that the length of the connection between (a) the 
base of the Data Center Pole and (b) the network row in the space 
used for co-location in the Data Center, would be no less than the 
length of the connection between (x) the base of the closest 
Commercial Pole and (y) the network row in the space used for co-
location in the Data Center.
    The Exchange believes that the proposed definition of 
``Commercial Pole'' is reasonable and would promote just and 
equitable principles of trade because it would encompass any pole on 
which a third party locates its wireless equipment in order to offer 
wireless connectivity to customers. The Exchange believes that such 
third parties are the direct competitors for the Wireless 
Connections, as they also offer wireless connections to customers. 
If a third party used a pole for a proprietary wireless network and 
that pole does not have one or more third parties' wireless 
equipment used to offer wireless connectivity to other third 
parties, that pole would not fall within the scope of the definition 
of Commercial Pole.
    The Exchange believes that the proposed definition of ``Data 
Center'' is reasonable and would promote just and equitable 
principles of trade because it would capture any data center to 
which the Exchange locates its matching engine.
    The Exchange believes that the proposed definition of ``Data 
Center Pole'' is reasonable and would promote just and equitable 
principles of trade because it would encompass not just the current 
pole, but also any additional or successor pole on the grounds of 
the Data Center, so long as such pole could not be used by third 
parties other than third parties with which the Exchange or an ICE 
Affiliate had an agreement to provide services in the name of the 
Exchange or an ICE Affiliate, such as Anova.
    The Exchange believes that the definition of ``ICE Affiliate'' 
is reasonable and would promote just and equitable principles of 
trade because the same definition is used in NYSE Rule 497 
(Additional Requirements for Listed Securities Issued by 
Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. or its Affiliates),41/42 
and so using it would add transparency, clarity and internal 
consistency to Exchange rules.

39/40 McKay Letter, supra note 30/31, at 7.
40/41 Id., at note 33.
41/42 The definition of ICE has been added to the text.

    6. The Exchange proposes to amend the Statutory Basis section of 
the Filing after the fifth full paragraph on page 19 of the Filing 
(first full paragraph on page 48 of the Exhibit 1):
    The Exchange proposes to include information in the Filing 
regarding why it believes the proposed new rule is not unfairly 
discriminatory. The Exchange proposes to amend the Statutory Basis 
section of the Filing to add new paragraphs and accompanying footnotes 
(subsequent footnotes would be renumbered in a conforming change) after 
the fifth full paragraph on page 19 of the Filing (first full paragraph 
on page 48 of the Exhibit 1), immediately prior to the last paragraph 
of the section titled ``The Proposed Change is Not Unfairly 
Discriminatory,'' as follows (all text is new):

    The Exchange believes that the proposed new Rule 3.13 would not 
be unfairly discriminatory, as pursuant to the rule, the networks 
for the Wireless Connections, and future wireless connections that 
use the Data Center Pole, would ``operat[e] in the same manner as 
competitors do today without a latency subsidy or other advantage 
provided by the Exchanges. . . .'' 42/43 Accordingly, the 
proposed new rule would ensure that the IDS wireless network does 
not benefit from physical proximity ``on the segment [of the 
network] closest to the Exchanges' data center that no competitor 
can replicate.'' 43/44 By ending both of the compared 
connections at the network row in the space used for co-location 
inside the Data Center, the proposed rule would take distances 
within the Mahwah data center into account.
    The proposed new rule would not apply differently to distinct 
types or sizes of market participants. The Exchange would be 
required to ensure that the length of the connection between (a) the 
base of the Data Center Pole and (b) the network row in the space 
used for co-location in the Data Center, would be no less than the 
length of the connection between (x) the base of the closest 
Commercial Pole and (y) the network row in the space used for co-
location in the Data Center.
    The Exchange believes that the proposed definition of 
``Commercial Pole'' would not be unfairly discriminatory because it 
would encompass any pole on which a third party locates its wireless 
equipment in order to offer wireless connectivity to customers. The 
Exchange believes that such third parties are the direct competitors 
for the Wireless Connections, as they also offer wireless 
connections to customers. If a third party used a pole for a 
proprietary wireless network and that pole does not have one or more 
third parties' wireless equipment used to offer wireless 
connectivity to other third parties, that pole would not fall within 
the scope of the definition of Commercial Pole.
    The Exchange believes that the proposed definition of ``Data 
Center'' would not be unfairly discriminatory because it would 
capture any data center to which the Exchange locates its matching 
engine.
    The Exchange believes that the proposed definition of ``Data 
Center Pole'' would not be unfairly discriminatory because it would 
encompass not just the current pole, but also any additional or 
successor pole on the grounds of the Data Center, so long as such 
pole could not be used by third parties other than third parties 
with which the Exchange or an ICE Affiliate had an agreement to 
provide services in the name of the Exchange or an ICE Affiliate, 
such as Anova.
    The Exchange believes that the definition of ``ICE Affiliate'' 
would not be unfairly discriminatory because the same definition is 
used in NYSE Rule 497,44/45 and so using it would add 
transparency, clarity and internal consistency to Exchange rules.

42/43 mcKay Letter, supra note 30/31, at 7.
43/44 Id., at note 33.
44/45 The definition of ICE has been added to the text.

    7. The Exchange proposes to amend the section of the Filing titled 
``Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition'' 
in the following two ways:
    The Exchange proposes to include information in the Filing 
regarding why it believes the proposed new rule would impose any burden 
on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of 
the purposes of Section 6(b)(8) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
(the ``Act'').\11\ Accordingly, the Exchange proposes to amend the 
section of the Filing titled ``Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement 
on Burden on Competition'' in the following two ways.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    First, to set the new text apart from the previous discussion 
regarding the burden on competition, the Exchange proposes to add the 
heading ``Wireless Market Data Connectivity'' immediately before the 
first full paragraph under the heading on page 20 of the Filing (page 
48 of the Exhibit 1). The new heading would apply to the current text 
of the Filing.
    Second, after the third full paragraph on page 21 of the Filing 
(first full paragraph on page 51 of the Exhibit 1), the Exchange 
proposes to add the heading ``Proposed New Rule'' and new paragraphs 
and accompanying footnotes (subsequent footnotes would be renumbered in 
a conforming change), as follows (all text is new):

[[Page 47996]]

Proposed New Rule

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed new rule would 
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or 
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of Section 6(b)(8) of the 
Act.48/49
    With the exception of Anova, third parties do not have access to 
the data center pole. Under the proposed rule, the Exchange would 
always be obligated to ensure that the length of the connection 
between (a) the base of the Data Center Pole and (b) the network row 
in the space used for co-location in the Data Center, would be no 
less than the length of the connection between (x) the base of the 
closest Commercial Pole and (y) the network row in the space used 
for co-location in the Data Center.
    IDS, not the Exchange, provides the Wireless Connections to 
market participants, and so it would be IDS that would have to slow 
its connection down as required by the rule. Accordingly, the 
Exchange believes that the only burden on competition of the 
proposed change would be on IDS.
    Nonetheless, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change 
would not impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or 
appropriate because the proposed change would ensure that the IDS 
wireless network did not benefit from physical proximity ``on the 
segment [of the network] closest to the Exchanges' data center that 
no competitor can replicate.'' 49/50 The networks for the 
Wireless Connections, and future wireless connections that use the 
Data Center Pole, would ``operat[e] in the same manner as 
competitors do today without a latency subsidy or other advantage 
provided by the Exchanges. . . .'' 50/51
    The proposed rule would not otherwise put a burden on 
competition. As noted above, access to the data center pole is not 
required for third parties to establish wireless networks that can 
compete with the Wireless Connections to the Carteret and Secaucus 
Third Party Data Centers, as evidenced by the existing wireless 
connections offered by non-ICE entities.51/52 Indeed, the 
Exchange believes that its competitors' wireless connections provide 
connectivity at the same or similar speed as the Wireless 
Connections, and at the same or similar cost. The McKay Letter 
acknowledges that McKay Brothers has the fastest wireless 
network.52/53
    The Exchange notes that proximity to a data center is not the 
only determinant of a wireless network's latency. Rather, the 
latency of a wireless network depends on several factors. Variables 
include the wireless equipment utilized; the route of, and number of 
towers or buildings in, the network; and the fiber equipment used at 
either end of the connection. Moreover, latency is not the only 
consideration that a customer may have in selecting a wireless 
network to connect to for market data. Other considerations may 
include the amount of network uptime; the equipment that the network 
uses; the cost of the connection; and the applicable contractual 
provisions.
    The proposed change does not affect competition among national 
securities exchanges or among members of the Exchange, but rather 
between IDS and its commercial competitors.

51/52 A market participant in any of the Third Party Data 
Centers or the Mahwah data center also may create a proprietary 
wireless market data connection, connect through another market 
participant, or utilize fiber connections offered by the Exchange, 
ICE Affiliates, and other service providers and third party 
telecommunications providers.
52/53 Id., at 4.

    8. The Exchange proposes to add a list under ``Exhibit 5--Text of 
the Proposed Rule Change'' on page 22 of the Filing:
    The Exchange proposes to add a new Exhibit 5B. Accordingly, the 
Exchange proposes to add a list under ``Exhibit5--Text of Proposed Rule 
Change'' on page 22 of the Filing, as follows (new text underlined):
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TN07AU20.004

    9. The Exchange proposes to add new text to the first full 
paragraph of Section I on page 23 of the Exhibit 1:
    The Exchange proposes to add new text to the first full paragraph 
of Section I on page 23 of the Exhibit 1, as follows (new text

    10. The Exchange proposes to amend ``Exhibit 5'' to ``Exhibit 5A''
