In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose

The Exchange proposes to modify the credits received by supplemental liquidity providers (“SLPs”) when adding liquidity to the Exchange, with effect from April 1, 2009. Currently, SLPs receive a credit of $0.0015 per share when adding liquidity to the NYSE if the SLP meets the 3% average or more quoting requirement in an assigned security pursuant to Rule 107B. With effect from April 1, 2009, there will be three separate tiers of credits for SLPs that meet the 3% average or more quoting requirement in an assigned security pursuant to Rule 107B:

• SLPs that add liquidity of an average daily volume (“ADV”) of 100 million shares or less in the applicable month will continue to receive a credit of $0.0015 per share when adding liquidity to the NYSE.

• SLPs that add liquidity of an ADV of between 100 million shares and 250 million shares in the applicable month will receive a credit of $0.0016 per share when adding liquidity to the NYSE.
• SLPs that add liquidity of an ADV of more than 250 million shares in the applicable month will receive a credit of $0.0017 per share when adding liquidity to the NYSE.

2. Statutory Basis

The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the provisions of Section 6 of the Act, in general, and Section 6(b)(4) of the Act, 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.

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.

No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the proposed rule change.

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.
