Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget this
request for extension of the previously
approved collection of information
discussed below.
Rule 163 (17 CFR 230.163) provides
an exemption from section 5(c) (15
U.S.C. 77e(c)) under the Securities Act
of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) for certain
communications by or on behalf of a
well-known seasoned issuer. The
information filed under Rule 163 is
publicly available. We estimate that it
takes approximately 0.375 burden hours
per response to provide the information
required under Rule 163 and is filed by
approximately 12 issuers. We estimate
that 25% of the 0.375 hours per
response (0.09375 hours) is prepared by
the issuer for an annual reporting
burden of 1 hours (0.09375 hours per
response × 12 responses).
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
control number.

Rule 425 (17 CFR 230.425) under the
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et

prospectuses and communications
under Rule 135 (17 CFR 230.135) and
Rule 165 (17 CFR 230.165) in
connection with business combination
transactions. The purpose of the rule is
to permit more oral and written
communications with shareholders
about tender offers, mergers and other
business combination transactions on a
more-timely basis, so long as the written
communications are filed on the date of
first use. The information provided
under Rule 425 is made available to the
public upon request. Also, the
information provided under Rule 425 is
mandatory. Approximately 7,160 issuers
file communications under Rule 425 at
an estimated 0.25 hours per response for
a total of 1,790 annual burden hours
(0.25 hours per response × 7,160
responses).
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
control number.

Securities Act Rule 173 (17 CFR
230.173) provides a notice of
registration to investors who purchased
securities in a registered offering under
the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a
et seq.). A Rule 173 notice must be
provided by each underwriter or dealer
to each investor who purchased
securities from the underwriter or
dealer. The Rule 173 notice is not
publicly available. We estimate that it
takes approximately 0.0167 hour per
response to provide the information
required under Rule 173 and that the
information is filed by approximately
5,720 respondents approximately 43,546
times a year for a total of 249,083,120
responses. We estimate that the total
annual reporting burden for Rule 173 is
4,159,688 hours (0.0167 hours per
response × 249,083,120 responses).

‘‘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.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to modify the
NYSE American Options Fee Schedule
(‘‘Fee Schedule’’) regarding the Firm
Monthly Fee Cap. The Exchange
proposes to implement the fee change
effective November 27, 2023.4 The
proposed rule change is available on the
Exchange’s website at www.nyse.com, at
the principal office of the Exchange, and
at the Commission’s Public Reference
Room.
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 purpose of this filing is to amend
the Fee Schedule to modify the Firm
Monthly Fee Cap. The Exchange
proposes to implement the rule change
on November 15, 2023.
The Firm Monthly Fee Cap is set forth
in Section I.I. of the Fee Schedule.5
Currently, a Firm’s fees associated with
Manual transactions are capped at
$200,000 per month per Firm.6
4 The Exchange originally filed to amend the Fee
Schedule on October 31, 2023 (SR–NYSEAMER–
2023–55), then withdrew such filing and amended
the Fee Schedule on November 15, 2023 (SR–
NYSEAMER–2023–60), which latter filing the
Exchange withdrew on November 27, 2023.
5 See Fee Schedule, Section I.I., Firm Monthly
Fee Cap, available at: https://www.nyse.com/
publicdocs/nyse/markets/american-options/NYSE_
American_Options_Fee_Schedule.pdf.
6 The Exchange also proposes two clarifying
changes to the description of the Firm Monthly Fee
Cap. First, the Exchange proposes to add text to
specify that fees for QCC transactions are included
in the Manual transaction fees eligible to be capped.
