III. Discussion 

After careful consideration, the 

Commission finds that the proposed 

rule change is consistent with the 

requirements of the Act and the rules 

and regulations thereunder applicable to 

a national securities exchange 6 and, in 

particular, the requirements of Section 6 

of the Act.7 Specifically, the 

Commission finds that the proposed 

rule change is consistent with Section 

6(b)(5) of the Act,8 which requires, 

among other things, that the rules of a 

national securities exchange be 

designed to promote just and equitable 

principles of trade, to remove 

impediments to and perfect the 

mechanism of a free and open market 

and a national market system, and, in 

general, to protect investors and the 

public interest. 

The Commission believes that 

expanding the basket of equity 

securities that may be linked to a BLN 

may enhance competition and benefit 

investors and the marketplace through 

additional product choices and 

alternatives. The Commission does not 

believe that there would be investor 

protection concerns with expanding the 

number of equity securities that may be 

linked to a BLN from more than one 

common stock to up to thirty common 

stocks. The Commission notes that the 

proposed rule change to Phlx’s listing 

standards for BLNs, specifically Phlx 

Rule 803(k), is substantially similar to 

the listing standards of the American 

Stock Exchange LLC regarding equity 

linked term notes, which are 

substantially similar investment 

products.9

The Commission finds good cause to 

grant accelerated approval of the 

proposed rule change because it will 

enable the Exchange to immediately 

consider listing and trading a BLN 

consistent with the rules of other 

national securities exchanges and does 

not raise any new regulatory issues. 

Accordingly, the Commission finds 

good cause for approving the proposed 

rule change prior to the thirtieth day 

after the notice is published for 

comment in the Federal Register 

pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the 

Act.10

IV. Conclusion 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,11 that the 

proposed rule change (SR–Phlx–2006–

85) is hereby approved on an 

accelerated basis. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated 

authority.12
