Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 13 / Friday, January 20, 2012 / Notices 3029 

15 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). 

16 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 

17 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). 

18 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) 

requires a self-regulatory organization to provide 

the Commission with written notice of its intent to 

file the proposed rule change, along with a brief 

description and text of the proposed rule change, 

at least five business days prior to the date of filing 

of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time 

as designated by the Commission. 

19For purposes only of waiving the operative 

delay for this proposal, the Commission has 

considered the proposed rule’s impact on 

efficiency, competition and capital formation. See 

15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 20 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

change will help to avoid undue market 

disruption resulting from the change to 

the definition of ‘‘security’’ under the 

Act. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

FINRA does not believe that the 

proposed rule change will result in any 

burden on competition that is not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

Written comments were neither 

solicited nor received. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

Because the foregoing 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 for 30 days from the date on 

which it was filed, or such shorter time 

as the Commission may designate, it has 

become effective pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 15 and Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6) thereunder. 

A proposed rule change filed under 

Rule 19b–4(f)(6)16 normally does not 

become operative prior to 30 days after 

the date of the filing. However, pursuant 

to Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii),17 the 

Commission may designate a shorter 

time if such action is consistent with the 

protection of investors and the public 

interest. 

FINRA has requested that the 

Commission waive both the 5-day 

advance filing requirement 18 and the 

30-day operative delay requirement so 

that the proposal may become operative 

upon filing. The Commission hereby 

grants both of those requests. The 

proposed rule is consistent with the 

goals set forth by the Commission when 

it issued the Exemptive Release and will 

help avoid undue market interruption 

resulting from the change to the 

definition of ‘‘security’’ under the Act, 

and it is consistent with the protection 

of investors and the public interest. 

Therefore, the Commission believes it is 

consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest to 

waive both the requirement that the 

proposed rule be filed at least five (5) 

days in advance and the 30-day 

operative delay requirement and 

designates the proposal as operative 

upon filing.19

At any time within 60 days of the 

filing of the 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 takes such action, the 

Commission shall institute proceedings 

to determine whether the proposed rule 

should be approved or disapproved. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.

the following methods:
