IV. Commission’s Findings and Order

Granting Accelerated Approval of the

Proposed Rule Change

The Commission finds that the

NYSE’s proposal is consistent with the

Act and the rules and regulations

thereunder applicable to national

securities exchanges. Specifically, the

Commission finds that the proposed

rule change is consistent with section

6(b)(5) of the Act that requires 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 a national market system, and, in

general, to protect investors and the

public interest.

In addition, the Commission believes

that the Exchange’s proposal to enhance

timely notification to the Exchange of

stabilizing bids made with respect to

offerings of NYSE-listed securities will

facilitate compliance with Regulation

M. The Commission therefore finds

good cause for approving the proposed

rule change prior to the thirtieth day

after the date of publication of filing

thereof in the Federal Register.

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to

section 19(b)(2) of the Act,5 that the

proposed rule change, NYSE–97–15, be,

and hereby is, approved.

For the Commission, by the Division of

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated

authority.6
