I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes extending the expiration date of the 
temporary amendments to Rules 9261 and 9830 as set forth in SR-NYSE-
2020-76 from July 31, 2022, to October 31, 2022, in conformity with 
recent changes by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. 
(``FINRA''). The proposed rule change would not make any changes to the 
text of NYSE Rules 9261 and 9830. 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 Exchange proposes extending the expiration date of the 
temporary amendments as set forth in SR-NYSE-2020-76 \4\ to Rules 9261 
(Evidence and Procedure in Hearing) and 9830 (Hearing) from July 31, 
2022, to October 31, 2022 to harmonize with recent changes by FINRA to 
extend the expiration date of the temporary amendments to its Rules 
9261 and 9830. SR-NYSE-2020-76 temporarily granted to the Chief or 
Deputy Chief Hearing Officer the authority to order that hearings be 
conducted by video conference if warranted by public health risks posed 
by in-person hearings during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The 
proposed rule change would not make any changes to the text of Exchange 
Rules 9261 and 9830.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 90024 (September 28, 
2020), 85 FR 62353 (October 2, 2020) (SR-NYSE-2020-76) (``SR-NYSE-
2020-76'').
    \5\ The Exchange may submit a separate rule filing to extend the 
expiration date of the proposed extension beyond October 31, 2022 if 
the Exchange requires additional temporary relief from the rule 
requirements identified in NYSE-SR-2020-76. The amended NYSE rules 
will revert back to their original state at the conclusion of the 
temporary relief period and any extension thereof.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background

    In 2013, the NYSE adopted disciplinary rules that are, with certain 
exceptions, substantially the same as the FINRA Rule 8000 Series and 
Rule 9000 Series, and which set forth rules for conducting 
investigations and enforcement actions.\6\ The NYSE disciplinary rules 
were implemented on July 1, 2013.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 68678 (January 16, 
2013), 78 FR 5213 (January 24, 2013) (SR-NYSE-2013-02) (``2013 
Notice''), 69045 (March 5, 2013), 78 FR 15394 (March 11, 2013) (SR-
NYSE-2013-02) (``2013 Approval Order''), and 69963 (July 10, 2013), 
78 FR 42573 (July 16, 2013) (SR-NYSE-2013-49).
    \7\ See NYSE Information Memorandum 13-8 (May 24, 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In adopting disciplinary rules modeled on FINRA's rules, the NYSE 
adopted the hearing and evidentiary processes set forth in Rule 9261 
and in Rule 9830 for hearings in matters involving temporary and 
permanent cease and desist orders under the Rule 9800 Series. As 
adopted, the text of Rule 9261 is identical to the counterpart FINRA 
rule. Rule 9830 is substantially the same as FINRA's rule, except for 
conforming and technical amendments.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See 2013 Approval Order, 78 FR at 15394, n.7 & 15400; 2013 
Notice, 78 FR at 5228 & 5234.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In response to the COVID-19 global health crisis and the 
corresponding need to restrict in-person activities, on August 31, 
2020, FINRA filed with the Commission a proposed rule change for 
immediate effectiveness, SR-FINRA-2020-027, which allowed FINRA's 
Office of Hearing Officers (``OHO'') to conduct hearings, on a 
temporary basis, by video conference, if warranted by the current 
COVID-19-related public health risks posed by an in-person hearing. 
Among the rules FINRA amended were Rules 9261 and 9830.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 89737 (September 2, 
2020), 85 FR 55712 (September 9, 2020) (SR-FINRA-2020-027) (the 
``August 31 FINRA Filing'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Given that FINRA and OHO administers disciplinary hearings on the 
Exchange's behalf, and that the public health concerns addressed by 
FINRA's amendments apply equally to Exchange disciplinary hearings, on 
September 15, 2020, the Exchange filed to temporarily amend Rule 9261 
and Rule 9830 to permit FINRA to conduct virtual hearings on its 
behalf.\10\ In December 2020, FINRA filed a proposed rule change, SR-
FINRA-2020-042, to extend the expiration date of the temporary 
amendments in SR-FINRA-2020-027 from December 31, 2020, to April 30, 
2021.\11\ On December 22, 2020, the Exchange similarly filed to extend 
the temporary amendments to Rule 9261 and Rule 9830 to April 30, 
2021.\12\ On April 1, 2021, FINRA filed a proposed rule change, SR-
FINRA-2021-006, to extend the expiration date of the temporary rule 
amendments to, among other rules, FINRA Rule 9261 and 9830 from April 
30, 2021, to August 31, 2021.\13\ On April 20, 2021, the Exchange filed 
to extend the temporary amendments to Rule 9261 and Rule 9830 to August 
31, 2021.\14\ On August 13, 2021, FINRA filed a proposed rule change, 
SR-FINRA-2021-019, to extend the expiration date of the temporary 
amendments to, among other rules, FINRA Rule 9261 and 9830 from August 
31, 2021, to December 31, 2021.\15\ On August 27, 2021, the Exchange 
filed to extend the temporary amendments to Rule 9261 and Rule 9830 to 
December 31, 2021.\16\ On December 7, 2021, FINRA filed a proposed rule 
change, SR-FINRA-2021-031, to extend the expiration date of the 
temporary amendments to, among other rules, FINRA Rule 9261 and 9830 
from December 31, 2021, to March 31, 2022.\17\ On December 27, 2021, 
the Exchange filed to extend the temporary amendments to Rule 9261 and 
Rule 9830 to March 31, 2022, after which the temporary amendments will 
expire absent another proposed rule change filing by the Exchange.\18\ 
On March 7, 2022, FINRA filed to extend the expiration date of the 
temporary rule amendments to, among other rules, FINRA Rule 9261 and 
9830 from March 31, 2022, to July 31, 2022.\19\ On March 29, 2022, the 
Exchange filed to extend the temporary amendments to Rule 9261 and Rule 
9830 to July 31, 2022, after which the temporary amendments will expire 
absent another proposed rule change filing by the Exchange.\20\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Even though it has been more than two years since the World Health 
Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, FINRA has determined that 
uncertainty still remains around this disease. The continued presence 
of COVID-19 variants including the quickly emerging Omicron BA.4 and 
BA.5 subvariants, dissimilar vaccination rates throughout the United 
States, and

[[Page 50650]]

the current medium to high COVID-19 community levels in many states 
indicate that COVID-19 remains an active and real public health 
concern.\21\ Due to the uncertainty and the lack of a clear timeframe 
for a sustained and widespread abatement of COVID-19-related health 
concerns and corresponding restrictions,\22\ FINRA believes that there 
is a continued need for temporary relief beyond July 31, 2022.\23\ On 
July 8, 2022, FINRA accordingly filed to extend the expiration date of 
the temporary rule amendments to, among other rules, FINRA Rule 9261 
and 9830 from July 31, 2022, to October 31, 2022.\24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 95281 (July 14, 
2022), 87 FR 43335 (July 20, 2022) (SR-FINRA-2022-018) (``SR-FINRA-
2022-018''). FINRA noted that, for example, there has been a notable 
upward trend in the number of daily COVID-19 cases in the United 
States since April 1, 2022. See https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_dailycases. In addition, on June 9, 2022, the Biden 
Administration announced its operational plan for COVID-19 
vaccinations for children under the age of five. See https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/06/09/fact-sheetbiden-administration-announces-operational-plan-for-covid-19-vaccinations-for-children-under-5/. See SR-FINRA-2022-018, 87 FR 
at 43335, n. 6.
    \22\ For instance, FINRA noted that the Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (``CDC'') recommends that people wear a mask 
in public indoor settings in areas with a high COVID-19 community 
level regardless of vaccination status or individual risk. See 
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/about-face-coverings.html. The CDC also recommends that people wear 
a mask in indoor areas of public transportation and transportation 
hubs to protect themselves and those around them and help keep 
travel and public transportation safer for everyone. See https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/masks-public-transportation.html. Furthermore, numerous states currently have 
mask mandates in certain settings, such as healthcare and 
correctional facilities. See SR-FINRA-2022-018, 87 FR at 43335, n.7.
    \23\ See SR-FINRA-2022-018, 87 FR 43335.
    \24\ See SR-FINRA-2022-018, 87 FR at 43335-36.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposed Rule Change
    Consistent with FINRA's recent proposal, the Exchange proposes to 
extend the expiration date of the temporary rule amendments to NYSE 
Rules 9261 and 9830 as set forth in SR-NYSE-2020-76 from July 31, 2022, 
to October 31, 2022.
    As set forth in SR-FINRA 2022-018, even though it has been more 
than two years since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a 
pandemic, uncertainty still remains around this disease. The continued 
presence of COVID-19 variants including the quickly emerging Omicron 
BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants, dissimilar vaccination rates throughout the 
United States, and the current medium to high COVID-19 community levels 
in many states indicate that COVID-19 remains an active and real public 
health concern.\25\ Due to the uncertainty and the lack of a clear 
timeframe for a sustained and widespread abatement of COVID-19-related 
health concerns and corresponding restrictions,\26\ FINRA believes that 
there is a continued need for temporary relief beyond July 31, 
2022.\27\ FINRA accordingly proposed to extend the expiration date of 
the temporary rule amendments from July 31, 2022, to October 31, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ See note 21, supra.
    \26\ See note 22, supra.
    \27\ See SR-FINRA-2022-018, 87 FR at 87 FR at 43337.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to similarly extend the expiration date of 
the temporary rule amendments to NYSE Rules 9261 and 9830 as set forth 
in SR-NYSE-2020-76 from July 31, 2022, to October 31, 2022. The 
Exchange agrees with FINRA that, even though it has been more than two 
years since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, 
uncertainty still remains around this disease. The Exchange also agrees 
that, due to the uncertainty and the lack of a clear timeframe for a 
sustained and widespread abatement of COVID-19-related health concerns 
and corresponding restrictions, for the reasons set forth in SR-FINRA-
2022-018, there is a continued need for this temporary relief beyond 
July 31, 2022. The proposed change would permit OHO to continue to 
assess, based on critical COVID-19 data and criteria and the guidance 
of health and security consultants, whether an in-person hearing would 
compromise the health and safety of the hearing participants such that 
the hearing should proceed by video conference. As noted in SR-FINRA-
2022-018, in deciding whether to schedule a hearing by video 
conference, OHO may consider a variety of other factors in addition to 
COVID-19 trends. Similarly, as noted in SR-FINRA-2022-018, in SR-FINRA-
2020-027, FINRA provided a non-exhaustive list of other factors OHO may 
take into consideration, including a hearing participant's individual 
health concerns and access to the connectivity and technology necessary 
to participate in a video conference hearing.\28\ The Exchange believes 
that this is a reasonable procedure to continue to follow for hearings 
under Rules 9261 and 9830 chaired by a FINRA employee.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \28\ See SR-FINRA-2022-018, 87 FR at 43336, n. 16.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As noted below, the Exchange has filed the proposed rule change for 
immediate effectiveness and has requested that the SEC waive the 
requirement that the proposed rule change not become operative for 30 
days after the date of the filing, so the Exchange can implement the 
proposed rule change immediately.
2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the 
Act,\29\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 
6(b)(5),\30\ in particular, because it is designed to prevent 
fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and 
equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination 
with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, to 
remove impediments to, and perfect the mechanism of, a free and open 
market and a national market system and, in general, to protect 
investors and the public interest. Additionally, the Exchange believes 
the proposed rule change is designed to provide a fair procedure for 
the disciplining of members and persons associated with members, 
consistent with Sections 6(b)(7) and 6(d) of the Act.\31\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \29\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \30\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \31\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(7) & 78f(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change supports the 
objectives of the Act by providing greater harmonization between 
Exchange rules and FINRA rules of similar purpose, resulting in less 
burdensome and more efficient regulatory compliance. As such, the 
proposed rule change will foster cooperation and coordination with 
persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities and will 
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open 
market and a national market system.
    The proposed rule change, which extends the expiration date of the 
temporary amendments to Exchange rules consistent with FINRA's 
extension to its Rules 9261 and 9830 as set forth in SR-FINRA-2022-018, 
will permit the Exchange to continue to effectively conduct hearings 
during the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the current and frequently changing 
COVID-19 conditions and the uncertainty around when those conditions 
will see meaningful, widespread and sustained improvement, without this 
relief allowing OHO to proceed by video conference, some or all 
hearings may have to be postponed.
    The ability to conduct hearings by video conference will permit the 
adjudicatory functions of the Exchange's

[[Page 50651]]

disciplinary rules to continue unabated, thereby avoiding protracted 
delays. The Exchange believes that this is especially important in 
matters where temporary and permanent cease and desist orders are 
sought because the proposed rule change would enable those hearings to 
continue to proceed without delay, thereby enabling the Exchange to 
continue to take immediate action to stop significant, ongoing customer 
harm, to the benefit of the investing public.
    As set forth in detail in the SR-NYSE-2020-76, the temporary relief 
to permit hearings to be conducted via video conference maintains fair 
process and will continue to provide fair process consistent with 
Sections 6(b)(7) and 6(d) of the Act \32\ while striking an appropriate 
balance between providing fair process and enabling the Exchange to 
fulfill its statutory obligations to protect investors and maintain 
fair and orderly markets while avoiding the COVID-19-related public 
health risks for hearing participants. The Exchange notes that this 
proposal, like SR-NYSE-2020-76, provides only temporary relief. As 
proposed, the changes would be in place through October 31, 2022. As 
noted in SR-NYSE-2020-76 and above, the amended rules will revert back 
to their original state at the conclusion of the temporary relief 
period and, if applicable, any extension thereof.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \32\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(7) & 78f(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Accordingly, the proposed rule change extending this temporary 
relief is in the public interest and consistent with the Act's purpose.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed temporary rule 
change will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or 
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed 
rule change is not intended to address competitive issues but is rather 
intended solely to extend temporary relief necessitated by the 
continued impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related health and 
safety risks of conducting in-person activities. The Exchange believes 
that the proposed rule change will prevent unnecessary impediments to 
critical adjudicatory processes and its ability to fulfill its 
statutory obligations to protect investors and maintain fair and 
orderly markets that would otherwise result if the temporary amendments 
were to expire on July 31, 2022.

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 Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section 
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \33\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\34\ 
Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) significantly affect the 
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any 
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to 
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as 
the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of 
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become 
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \33\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \34\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \35\ normally 
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the 
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b4(f)(6)(iii),\36\ the Commission 
may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the 
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked 
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal 
may become operative immediately upon filing. The Exchange has 
indicated that there is a continued need to extend the temporary relief 
because the Exchange agrees with FINRA that the COVID-19 related health 
concerns necessitating this relief will not meaningfully subside by 
July 31, 2022.\37\ The Exchange also states that extending the 
temporary relief provided in SR-NYSE-2020-76 immediately upon filing 
and without a 30-day operative delay will allow the Exchange to 
continue critical adjudicatory and review processes so that the 
Exchange may continue to operate effectively and meet its critical 
investor protection goals, while also protecting the health and safety 
of hearing participants.\38\ The Commission also notes that this 
proposal extends without change the temporary relief previously 
provided by SR-NYSE-2020-76.\39\ As proposed, the temporary changes 
would be in place through October 31, 2022 and the amended rules will 
revert back to their original state at the conclusion of the temporary 
relief period and, if applicable, any extension thereof.\40\ For these 
reasons, the Commission believes that waiver of the 30-day operative 
delay for this proposal is consistent with the protection of investors 
and the public interest. Accordingly, the Commission hereby waives the 
30-day operative delay and designates the proposal operative upon 
filing.\41\

at 43336.
    \38\ See 87 FR 43335, at 43337-38 (noting the same in granting 
FINRA's request to waive the 30-day operative delay so that SR-
FINRA-2022-018 would become operative immediately upon filing).
    \39\ See supra note 4.
    \40\ See supra note 5. As noted above, the Exchange states that 
if it requires temporary relief from the rule requirements 
identified in this proposal beyond October 31, 2022, it may submit a 
separate rule filing to extend the effectiveness of the temporary 
relief under these rules.
    \41\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay, 
the Commission has considered the proposed rule change's impact on 
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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
