421, NYSE Arca Rule 9.4 and FINRA 

Rule 2251, which were published for 

public comment in the Federal Register 

and approved by the Commission, and 

for which no comments were received.19

Because proposed Rule 3.22(a) is 

substantially similar to the ISE, NYSE 

Arca and FINRA rules, it raises no new 

regulatory issues. 

The Commission also believes that 

good cause exists to grant accelerated 

approval to proposed Rule 3.22(b), 

which conforms the Exchange’s rules to 

the requirements of Section 6(b)(10) of 

the Act. Section 6(b)(10) of the Act, 

enacted under Section 957 of the DoddFrank Act, does not provide for a 

transition phase, and requires rules of 

national securities exchanges to prohibit 

broker voting on the election of a 

member of the board of directors of an 

issuer (except for a vote with respect to 

the uncontested election of a member of 

the board of directors of any investment 

company registered under the 

Investment Company Act of 1940), 

executive compensation, or any other 

significant matter, as determined by the 

Commission by rule. The Commission 

believes that good cause exists to grant 

accelerated approval to proposed Rule 

3.22(b), because it will conform the 

Exchange rule to the requirements of 

Section 6(b)(10) of the Act. Moreover, 

proposed Rule 3.22(b) is substantially 

similar to ISE Rule 421 and Nasdaq Rule 

2251.20

V. Conclusion 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,21 that the 

proposed rule change (SR–EDGA–2011– 

08) be, and it hereby is, approved on an 

accelerated basis. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.22

Deputy Secretary.

applicants online or, in exceptional 

circumstances, applicants may submit a 

paper application to posts abroad. The 

applicant prints the application and a 

2–D barcode. When the applicant 

appears at the interview the barcode is 

scanned and the information 

electronically received.
