the protection of investors and the

maintenance of fair and orderly markets,

to remove impediments to, and perfect

the mechanisms of, a national market

system or otherwise in furtherance of

the purposes of the Act.

The proposal provides for the

recognition of the BSE’s and the PCX’s

use of remote specialists to carry out

their specialist operations off the floors

of the BSE and the PCX. The proposal

also provides for the implementation of

the National Market Test System, which

supports testing of the Consolidated

Tape System, Consolidated Quotation

System, and ITS. In addition, the

proposal provides for the codification of

procedures for trade adjustment. The

Commission believes that the foregoing

measures should improve the efficiency

and reliability of ITS. Lastly, the

proposal provides additional technical

amendments to the ITS Plan consistent

with ITS’s purpose: to facilitate

intermarket trading in exchange-listed

equity securities.

For the foregoing reasons, the

Commission finds that the proposed

amendment is consistent with Act and

the rules and regulations thereunder

applicable to the ITS and, in particular,

Sections 11A(a)(1)(C)(ii) and (D) of the

Act 8 and Rule 11Aa3–2(c)(2).9

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to

Section 11A(a)(3)(B) of the Act,10 that

the proposed amendment be, and

hereby is, approved.

For the Commission, by the Division of

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated

authority.11

Deputy Secretary.
