11 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 

12 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 

13 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). 

14For purposes only of waiving the 30-day 

operative delay, the Commission has considered the 

proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, 

and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 15 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

No written comments were solicited 

or received with respect to the proposed 

rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

The Exchange has filed the proposed 

rule change pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 10 and Rule 

19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.11 Because the 

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) become operative 

prior to 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, the 

proposed rule change has become 

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

of the Act and Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) 

thereunder. 

A proposed rule change filed under 

Rule 19b–4(f)(6)12 normally does not 

become operative prior to 30 days after 

the date of the filing. However, pursuant 

to Rule 19b4(f)(6)(iii),13 the Commission 

may designate a shorter time if such 

action is consistent with the protection 

of investors and the public interest. The 

Exchange has asked the Commission to 

waive the 30-day operative delay so that 

the proposal may become operative 

immediately upon filing. 

The Commission believes that it is 

consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest to 

waive the 30-day operative delay. 

Waiver of the 30-day operative delay 

will allow persons engaged solely in 

proprietary trading to use the 

Proprietary Traders Qualification 

Examination (‘‘Series 56’’) as soon as it 

is available for NYSEAmex in Web CRD. 

Therefore, the Commission designates 

the proposal operative upon filing.14

At any time within 60 days of the 

filing of such proposed rule change, the 

Commission summarily may 

temporarily suspend 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. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments

submit written data, views and

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.

COMMISSION 

[File No. 500–1] 

China North East Petroleum Holdings 

Limited, Order of Suspension of 

Trading 

March 1, 2012. 

It appears to the Securities and 

Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) 

that there is a lack of current and 

accurate information concerning the 

securities of China North East Petroleum 

Holdings Limited (‘‘NEP’’), a Nevada 

corporation with principal executive 

offices in New York and oil drilling 

operations in the People’s Republic of 

China. NEP’s common stock is 

registered with the Commission 

pursuant to Section 12(g) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 

‘‘Exchange Act’’) and is traded on NYSE 

Amex. 

Questions have arisen regarding the 

accuracy and completeness of 

information contained in NEP’s public 

filings with the Commission concerning, 

among other things, certain transfers of 

cash from the company’s bank accounts 

to the personal bank accounts of related 

parties. 

The Commission is of the opinion that 

the public interest and the protection of 

investors require a suspension of trading 

in the securities of NEP. 

Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to 

Section 12(k) of the Exchange Act, that 

trading in the above-listed company is 

suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. 

EST, March 1, 2012, through 11:59 p.m. 

EDT, on March 14, 2012. 

By the Commission. 

Elizabeth M. Murphy, 

Secretary.
