V. Accelerated Approval of Proposed 

Rule Change, as Modified by 

Amendment No. 1 and Partial 

Amendment No. 2 

The Commission finds good cause, 

pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the Act,26

to approve the proposed rule change 

prior to the 30th day after the date of 

publication of notice of the filing of 

Amendment No. 1 and Partial 

Amendment No. 2 in the Federal 

Register. As discussed above, 

Amendment No. 1 amended and 

restated in its entirety the Form 19b–4, 

Exhibit 1A, and Exhibit 5 to correct a 

typographical error in the Auction 

Procedures, and Partial Amendment No. 

2 replaced and superseded Amendment 

No. 1, and amended and restated in its 

entirety the Form 19b–4, Exhibit 1A, 

and Exhibit 5, in addition to including 

Exhibit 4, to correct a typographical 

error in the Auction Procedures. 

Amendment No. 1 and Partial 

Amendment No. 2 do not change the 

purpose of or basis for the proposed 

changes. 

For similar reasons as discussed 

above, the Commission finds that 

Amendment No. 1 and Partial 

Amendment No. 2 are consistent with 

the requirement that ICC’s rules be 

designed to promote the prompt and 

accurate clearance and settlement of 

securities transactions under section 

17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act.27 Accordingly, 

the Commission finds good cause to 

approve the proposed rule change, as 

modified by Amendment No. 1 and 

Partial Amendment No. 2, on an 

accelerated basis, pursuant to section 

19(b)(2) of the Act.28

VI. Conclusion 

On the basis of the foregoing, the 

Commission finds that the proposed 

rule change, as modified by Amendment 

No. 1 and Partial Amendment No. 2, is 

consistent with the requirements of the 

Act, and in particular, with the 

requirements of section 17A(b)(3)(F) of 

the Act, and Rule 17Ad–22(e)(13) 

thereunder.29

It is therefore ordered pursuant to 

section 19(b)(2) of the Act 30 that the 

proposed rule change (SR–ICC–2023– 

009), as modified by Amendment No. 1 

and Partial Amendment No. 2, be, and 

hereby is, approved on an accelerated 

basis.31

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.32

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In general, 

Title 49 United States Code (U.S.C.) 

section 20157(h) requires FRA to certify 

that a host railroad’s PTC system 

complies with title 49 Code of Federal

approval before field testing an 

uncertified PTC system, or a product of 

an uncertified PTC system, or any 

regression testing of a certified PTC 

system on the general rail system. See 

49 CFR 236.1035(a). NCTD’s test

specified in this notice and to the extent 

practicable, without delaying testing of 

valuable or necessary modifications to a 

PTC system. See 49 CFR 236.1035. FRA, 

however, may elect not to respond to 

any particular comment, and under 49

authority to approve, approve with 

conditions, or deny the test request at its 

sole discretion.
