to bilateral information sharing 

agreements with those markets or 

because those markets are full members 

or affiliate members of the ISG. In 

particular, the Exchange has represented 

that it will implement adequate 

comprehensive surveillance sharing 

agreements for non-U.S. components, as 

applicable. 

D. Information Memorandum 

The Exchange has represented that it 

will distribute, as appropriate, an 

Information Memorandum to members 

describing the product, the structure of 

the product, and the corresponding risks 

of the Index-Linked Security. In 

addition, the Information Memorandum 

will set forth the Exchange’s suitability 

requirements with respect to 

recommendations in transactions in 

Index-Linked Securities to customers 

and the prospectus delivery 

requirements. The Memorandum will 

also identify and describe the 

Exchange’s trading rules governing the 

Index-Linked Securities. 

E. Firewall Procedures 

The Exchange has further represented 

that, if the Underlying Index is 

maintained by a broker-dealer, such 

broker-dealer will establish a ‘‘firewall’’

around personnel responsible for the 

maintenance of the Underlying Index. 

As an added measure, a third-party who 

is not a broker-dealer will calculate the 

Underlying Index. In addition, the 

Exchange has stated that any person, 

committee, board, or similar entity that 

advises the Index Licensor or 

Administrator (each as defined in NYSE 

Rule 1100, Supplementary Material .10) 

or that makes decisions regarding the 

composition and methodology of the 

Underlying Index, will be subject to 

policies and procedures designed to 

prevent the use and dissemination of 

material, non-public information. With 

respect to trading on NYSE, the 

Exchange has stated that, with respect to 

any issue of Index-Linked Securities, 

specialists will be restricted from 

making markets in and trading 

components of the Underlying 

Securities or any derivative instruments 

thereof.32

F. Acceleration 

The Commission finds good cause for 

approving the proposed rule change, as 

modified by Amendments No. 1, 2, and 

3 thereto, before the 30th day after the 

date of publication of notice of filing 

thereof in the Federal Register. The 

Exchange requested accelerated 

approval of the proposal to facilitate the 

prompt listing and trading of IndexLinked Securities based on indexes or 

portfolios meeting the specified criteria 

of proposed Section 703.22 of the 

Manual. The Commission notes that the 

Exchange’s proposed generic listing 

standards are based, in part, on 

previously approved listing standards 

for Index-Linked Securities based on an 

Underlying Index made up of equity 

securities.33 The Commission also notes 

that it has previously approved the 

listing and trading of derivative 

products based on commodities and 

currencies.34 The Commission believes 

that accelerated approval of the 

proposed rule change should expedite 

the listing and trading of additional 

Index-Linked Securities, subject to the 

standards discussed herein, to the 

benefit of the investing public. 

Therefore, the Commission finds good 

cause, consistent with Section 19(b)(2) 

of the Act,35 to approve the proposed 

rule change on an accelerated basis. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments
