SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–55448; File No. SR–NYSE–

2007–20] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New 

York Stock Exchange LLC; Notice of 

Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of 

Proposed Rule Change To Delete From 

Section 804.00 of the Exchange’s 

Listed Company Manual Text That Has 

Been Superseded 

March 12, 2007. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on February 

22, 2007, the New York Stock Exchange 

LLC (‘‘NYSE’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with 

the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the 

proposed rule changes as described in 

Items I and II below, which items have 

been substantially prepared by the 

Exchange. The Commission is 

publishing this notice to solicit 

comments on the proposed rule changes 

from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

The Exchange proposes to amend 

Section 804.00 of the Exchange’s Listed 

Company Manual (‘‘Manual’’) to delete 

the rule text which applied prior to the 

implementation of the revised text of 

Section 804.00 on April 24, 2006. The 

text of the proposed rule change is 

available on the Exchange’s Web site 

(http://www.nyse.com), at the 

Exchange’s Office of the Secretary, and 

at the Commission’s Public Reference 

Room. 

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

In its filing with the Commission, the 

self-regulatory organization included 

statements concerning the purpose of 

and basis for the proposed rule change 

and discussed any comments it received 

on the proposed rule change. The text 

of these statements may be examined at 

the places specified in Item IV below. 

The NYSE has prepared summaries, set 

forth in Sections A, B and C below, of 

the most significant aspects of such 

statements. 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

The Exchange proposes to amend 

Section 804.00 of the Exchange’s 

Manual to delete the rule text which 

applied prior to the implementation of 

the revised text of Section 804.00 on 

April 24, 2006. On July 14, 2005, the 

Commission adopted amendments to 

Rule 12d2–2 under the Act.3 Rule 12d2–

2, as amended, required, among other 

things, all national securities exchanges, 

including the Exchange, to amend their 

delisting rules to conform with certain 

requirements set forth in amended Rule 

12d2–2. The Exchange amended Section 

804.00 in light of these requirements 

and its new delisting procedures 

superseded the old procedures on April 

24, 2006. As such, the old procedures 

have no further application and, to 

avoid confusion, the Exchange proposes 

to delete them from Section 804.00 in 

their entirety. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The basis under the Exchange Act for 

this proposed rule change is the 

requirement under Section 6(b)(5) of the 

Act 4 that an exchange have rules that 

are designed to prevent fraudulent and 

manipulative acts and practices, to 

promote just and equitable principles of 

trade, to remove impediments to, and 

perfect the mechanism of a free and 

open market and, in general, to protect 

investors and the public interest.

5 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). 

6 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 

7 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). 

8For purposes only of waiving the operative 

delay for this proposal, the Commission has 

considered the proposed rule’s impact on 

efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 

15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 9 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

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 

Written comments were neither 

solicited nor received. 

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) by its 

terms, 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, it has become effective 

pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the 

Act 5 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.6

A proposed rule change filed under 

Rule 19b–4(f)(6) normally may not 

become operative prior to 30 days after 

the date of filing. However, Rule 19b–

4(f)(6)(iii) 7 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 requested that the 

Commission waive the 30-day operative 

delay. The Commission believes that 

waiver of the 30-day operative delay is 

consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest. 

Specifically, the Commission believes 

that the proposal should provide clarity 

to the Exchange’s Manual by deleting 

obsolete rule text. Accordingly, the 

Commission designates the proposal to 

be effective and operative upon filing 

with the Commission.8

At any time within 60 days of the 

filing of the proposed rule change, the 

Commission may summarily abrogate 

such proposed 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. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act. 

Comments may be submitted by any of 

the following methods:

subject line. 

Paper Comments

to Nancy M. Morris, Secretary, 

Securities and Exchange Commission, 

100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC
