Explanation

Why AThe Administrator may not require registration, merit review, a notice filing, or a filing fee, but may enforce state antifraud law

NYSE-listed securities are federal covered under Securities Act Section 18(b)(1). States may not require registration, merit review, notice filings, or fees for them solely on that basis, although state antifraud authority remains.
