the proposed rule’s impact on efficiency,

enhance flexibility and order execution 

opportunities for its Users.6

2. Statutory Basis 

The proposed rule change is 

consistent with section 6(b) of the Act,7

in general, and furthers the objectives of 

section 6(b)(5) 8 in particular in that 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, 

and to remove impediments to and 

perfect the mechanisms of a free and 

open market and a national market 

system. 

B. Self Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

The Exchange does not believe that 

the proposed rule change will impose 

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 

The Exchange has neither solicited 

nor received written comments on the 

proposed rule change. 

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) 9 of the Act and Rule 19b–

4(f)(6) thereunder.10 At any time within 

60 days of the filing of the proposed rule 

change, the Commission may summarily 

abrogate 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. 

NYSE Arca has asked the Commission 

to waive the 30-day operative delay. The 

Commission believes such a waiver is 

consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest 

because it would permit the Exchange to 

offer the Fill-or-Kill order type 

functionality without delay.11 For this 

reason, the Commission designates the 

proposal to be operative upon filing 

with the Commission. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.

of Membership 

AGENCY: Department of State. 

ACTION: Notice. 

The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau 

of Political-Military Affairs’ Defense

continuing committee under the 

authority of 22 U.S.C. 2656 and the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 

U.S.C. App. I et seq. (‘‘FACA’’). 

The purpose of the DTAG is to 

provide the Bureau of Political-Military 

Affairs with a formal channel for regular 

consultation and coordination with U.S. 

private sector defense exporters and 

defense trade specialists on issues 

involving U.S. laws, policies, and 

regulations for munitions exports. The 

DTAG advises the Bureau on its support 

for and regulation of defense trade to 

help ensure that impediments to 

legitimate exports are reduced while the 

foreign policy and national security 

interests of the U.S. continue to be 

protected and advanced in accordance 

with the Arms Export Control Act 

(AECA), as amended. Major topics 

addressed by the DTAG include (a) 

policy issues on commercial defense 

trade and technology transfer; (b) 

regulatory and licensing procedures 

applicable to defense articles, services, 

and technical data; (c) technical issues 

involving the U.S. Munitions List 

(USML); and (d) questions relating to 

actions designed to carry out the AECA 

and International Traffic in Arms 

Regulations (ITAR). 

Members are appointed by the 

Assistant Secretary of State for PoliticalMilitary Affairs on the basis of 

individual substantive and technical 

expertise and qualifications, and are 

drawn from a representative crosssection of U.S. defense industry, 

association, academic, and foundation
