Published Date: 3/23/2026
Notice
Summary
NYSE Arca is updating its rules to drop some old, unnecessary steps where they had to publish certain info about Options Trading Permit applications and floor broker registrations. This change affects traders and brokers using the Exchange and takes effect immediately, with no extra costs involved. It’s a smart cleanup to keep things simple and current!
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
OTP Applicant Posting Removed
The Exchange will delete the rule that required posting the name of an Options Trading Permit (OTP) applicant on a bulletin board for three business days (Rule 2.4(b)). You will no longer see names of not-yet-approved OTP applicants posted because the Exchange no longer accepts comments on those applications.
Weekly Bulletin Discontinued; Online Directory Used
The Exchange will delete the requirement to publish newly approved OTP Holders and OTP Firms in its Weekly Bulletin (Rule 2.6) and discontinue the Weekly Bulletin and the physical bulletin board on the Trading Floor. Instead, the Exchange will rely on its publicly available Membership Directory (https://www.nyse.com/markets/arca-options/membership) to list approved OTP Holders and OTP Firms.
Floor Broker Posting Requirement Eliminated
The Exchange will remove the requirement to post the name of a Floor Broker applicant on the Trading Floor bulletin board for three business days before registration becomes effective (Rule 6.44-O(a)). The Exchange will evaluate Floor Broker applications based on objective criteria and maintain an up-to-date list of Floor Brokers in its online Membership Directory.
