14 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).

15 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b– 4(f)(6) requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission 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. The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.

16 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6).

17 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6).

18 For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay, the Commission has considered the proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 19 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). of the Act 14 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder. 15

A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b–4(f)(6) under the Act 16 normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date of its filing. However, Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 17 permits the Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay. The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Commission notes that doing so will allow the Exchange to continue uninterrupted, for Floor brokers, the emergency temporary relief necessitated by Hurricane Sandy’s disruption of telephone service, as described herein and in the Exchange’s prior filings seeking such relief, and help to maintain the status quo, until the earlier of when phone service is fully restored for Floor brokers, or Friday, December 14, 2012. Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the 30- day operative delay and designates the proposal operative upon filing. 18

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.
