Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 46 / Friday, March 9, 2007 / Notices 10809 

11NYSE Rule 19 governs locking or crossing 

protected quotations in NMS stocks. Additionally, 

a forthcoming filing will propose conforming 

changes to NYSE rules to reflect the elimination of 

the ITS Plan. 

12 17 CFR 242.600(b)(57). 

13See Letter from Mary Yeager, Assistant 

Secretary, NYSE, to Nancy M. Morris, Secretary, 

Commission, dated March 1, 2007. 

14 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). 

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

16 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 

17Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) under the Act requires that 

a self-regulatory organization submit to 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. NYSE has satisfied 

the pre-filing requirement. 

18For purposes only of waiving the 30-day 

operative delay of the proposal, the Commission 

has considered the proposed rule’s impact on 

efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 

15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 

19See 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(C). 20 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

Exchange will automatically route 

orders to other markets to prevent tradethroughs beginning on the Trading 

Phase Date. Further, the filing seeks to 

rename NYSE Rule 15A from ‘‘ITS 

‘Trade-Throughs’ And ‘Locked 

Markets’ ’’ to ‘‘Order Protection Rule.’’11

In addition, the NYSE has requested 

from the Commission limited no-action 

relief with respect to the Exchange’s 

obligation to route orders, in accordance 

with amended Rule 15A.50, proposed 

herein, to protected quotations, as 

defined in Rule 600(b)(57) under the 

Act,12 of NASD ADF participants and 

the International Stock Exchange, LLC 

beginning on Reg. NMS’s Trading Phase 

Date until April 5, 2007.13

2. Statutory Basis 

The basis under the Act for this 

proposed rule change is the requirement 

under Section 6(b)(5) 14 that an 

Exchange have rules that are 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. 

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 

The proposed rule change has become 

effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 

of the Act 15 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 

thereunder 16 because the proposal 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 if 

consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest.17

NYSE has requested that the 

Commission waive the 30-day operative 

delay. The Commission believes that 

such waiver is consistent with the 

protection of investors and the public 

interest because the proposed rule 

change will allow the Exchange to 

implement, without delay, its amended 

Rule 15A.50 to specify the 

circumstances under which the 

Exchange will automatically route 

orders to other market centers to prevent 

trade-throughs on its market beginning 

on March 5, 2007, which marks the 

Trading Phase Date of Regulation NMS 

and the expected termination of the ITS 

Plan. Accordingly, the Commission 

hereby designates the proposed rule 

change to be operative on March 5, 

2007.18

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.19

IV. Solicitation of Comments

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.
