Members and applicants as to the 

applicable rules governing statutory

operative delay and designates the 

proposal operative upon filing. 

At any time within 60 days of the 

filing of the proposed rule change, the

investors, or otherwise in furtherance of 

the purposes of the Act. If the 

Commission takes such action, the 

Commission shall institute proceedings 

to determine whether the proposed rule 

should be approved or disapproved.
