considered its impact on efficiency, competition, 

and capital formation.

Order or Principal Order 6 due to an 

untimely response will provide an 

opportunity for the transmittal of 

responses while also allowing a 

Participant’s members to execute orders 

on their own exchanges in a timely 

manner. 

III. Discussion 

After careful consideration, the 

Commission finds that the proposed 

amendment to the Linkage Plan is 

consistent with the requirements of the 

Act and the rules and regulations 

thereunder.7 Specifically, the 

Commission finds that the proposed 

amendment to the Linkage Plan is 

consistent with Section 11A of the Act 8

and Rule 608 thereunder 9 in that it is 

appropriate in the public interest, for 

the protection of investors and the 

maintenance of fair and orderly markets. 

Specifically, the Commission believes 

that reducing the time required by a 

Participant to respond to a Linkage 

Order and the amount of time a member 

sending a Linkage Order must wait 

before trading through a nonresponsive 

Participant should facilitate the more 

timely execution of orders across the 

options markets. In addition, the 

Commission finds that it is appropriate 

to summarily put into effect Joint 

Amendment No. 22 upon publication of 

this notice on a temporary basis for 120 

days. The Commission believes that 

such action is appropriate in the public 

interest, for the protection of investors 

and the maintenance of fair and orderly 

markets, because it will facilitate 

implementation of the Joint Amendment 

No. 22 in conjunction with the 

commencement of options penny 

quoting pilot program.

SUMMARY: On Monday, March 19, 2007,

potential cost savings, of preparing 

financial reports using interactive data 

written in a computer language called 

XBRL. Panelists will include executives 

at public companies currently providing 

investors with interactive data on a test 

basis as part of the SEC’s voluntary 

filing program. The panel will be 

moderated by Chicago Sun-Times 

personal finance columnist Terry 

Savage. Richard Bennett, Chief 

Executive Officer of The Corporate 

Library, will provide closing remarks 

and discuss the significance of 

interactive data for corporate 

governance. 

The roundtable will take place at the 

Commission’s headquarters at 100 F 

Street, NE., Auditorium, Room L–002, 

Washington, DC at 10 a.m. The public
