Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 191 / Tuesday, October 4, 2005 / Notices 57921 

13The Exchange plans to issue a memorandum to 

membership announcing an effective date of the 

split that is prior to expiration of the 30-day 

operative period. Telephone conversation between 

Jurij Trypupenko, Director, Phlx, and Florence 

Harmon, Senior Special Counsel, Commission, on 

September 26, 2005. 

14For purposes only of waiving the operative 

delay for this proposal, the Commission has 

considered the proposed rule’s impact on 

efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15 

U.S.C. 78c(f). 

15See supra, note 8. 16 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

Exchange has requested that the 

Commission waive the 30-day operative 

delay specified in Rule 19b–4(f)(6), so 

that all options traded on the indexes 

can be treated uniformly.13

The Commission believes that 

waiving the 30-day operative delay is 

consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest.14

Specifically, the Commission believes 

that the Phlx’s proposal raises no new 

issues or regulatory concerns that the 

Commission did not consider in 

approving a similar proposal of a twofor-one split.15 Additionally, the 

Commission notes that the Exchange 

will continue to employ its surveillance 

procedures and has proposed an orderly 

procedure to achieve the Index split, 

including adequate prior notice to 

market participants. For these reasons, 

the Commission designates that the 

proposal become operative immediately. 

At any time within 60 days of the 

filing of such proposed rule change, the 

Commission may summarily abrogate 

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.
