download the Workplace Forms 

ViewerTM to access the Electronic 

Information Exchange (EIE), a 

component of the E-Filing system. The 

Workplace Forms ViewerTM is free and 

is available at http://www.nrc.gov/sitehelp/e-submittals/install-viewer.html. 

Information about applying for a digital 

ID certificate is available on NRC’s 

public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/ 

site-help/e-submittals/applycertificates.html. 

Once a petitioner/requestor has 

obtained a digital ID certificate, had a 

docket created, and downloaded the EIE 

viewer, it can then submit a request for 

hearing or petition for leave to 

intervene. Submissions should be in 

Portable Document Format (PDF) in 

accordance with NRC guidance 

available on the NRC public Web site at 

http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. A filing is considered 

complete at the time the filer submits its 

documents through EIE. To be timely, 

an electronic filing must be submitted to 

the EIE system no later than 11:59 p.m. 

Eastern Time on the due date. Upon 

receipt of a transmission, the E-Filing 

system time-stamps the document and 

sends the submitter an e-mail notice 

confirming receipt of the document. The 

EIE system also distributes an e-mail 

notice that provides access to the 

document to the NRC Office of the 

General Counsel and any others who 

have advised the Office of the Secretary 

that they wish to participate in the 

proceeding, so that the filer need not 

serve the documents on those 

participants separately. Therefore, 

applicants and other participants (or 

their counsel or representative) must 

apply for and receive a digital ID 

certificate before a hearing request/ 

petition to intervene is filed so that they 

can obtain access to the document via 

the E-Filing system. 

A person filing electronically may 

seek assistance through the ‘‘Contact 

Us’’ link located on the NRC Web site 

at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html or by calling the NRC 

technical help line, which is available 

between 8:30 a.m. and 4:15 p.m., 

Eastern Time, Monday through Friday. 

The help line number is (800) 397–4209 

or locally, (301) 415–4737. 

Participants who believe that they 

have a good cause for not submitting 

documents electronically must file a 

motion, in accordance with 10 CFR 

2.302(g), with their initial paper filing 

requesting authorization to continue to 

submit documents in paper format. 

Such filings must be submitted by: (1)

of the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001, Attention:

Secretary, Sixteenth Floor, One White 

Flint North, 11555 Rockville, Pike, 

Rockville, Maryland, 20852, Attention: 

Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff. 

Participants filing a document in this 

manner are responsible for serving the 

document on all other participants. 

Filing is considered complete by firstclass mail as of the time of deposit in 

the mail, or by courier, express mail, or 

expedited delivery service upon 

depositing the document with the 

provider of the service. 

Non-timely requests and/or petitions 

and contentions will not be entertained 

absent a determination by the 

Commission, the presiding officer, or 

the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board 

that the petition and/or request should 

be granted and/or the contentions 

should be admitted, based on a 

balancing of the factors specified in 10 

CFR 2.309(c)(1)(i)-(viii). To be timely, 

filings must be submitted no later than 

11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due 

date. 

Documents submitted in adjudicatory 

proceedings will appear in NRC’s 

electronic hearing docket which is 

available to the public at http://

unless excluded pursuant to an order of 

the Commission, an Atomic Safety and 

Licensing Board, or a Presiding Officer. 

Participants are requested not to include 

personal privacy information, such as 

social security numbers, home 

addresses, or home phone numbers in 

their filings. With respect to copyrighted 

works, except for limited excerpts that 

serve the purpose of the adjudicatory

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–56850; File No. SR–Amex–

2007–123] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; 

American Stock Exchange LLC; Notice 

of Filing and Order Granting 

Accelerated Approval of a Proposed 

Rule Change, as Modified by 

Amendment No.1 Thereto, To Send 

P/A Orders Through Linkage Prior to 

the Opening of Trading 

November 27, 2007. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on November 

16, 2007, the American Stock Exchange 

LLC (‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘Amex’’) filed with 

the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the 

proposed rule change as described in 

Items I and II below, which items have 

been substantially prepared by the 

Amex. On November 26, 2008, the 

Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to the 

proposed rule change. The Commission 

is publishing this notice to solicit 

comments on the proposed rule change, 

as amended, from interested persons 

and is approving the proposed rule 

change on an accelerated basis. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

The Exchange proposes to adopt 

Commentary .06 to Amex Rule 918 to 

permit the sending of Principal Acting 

as Agent Orders (‘‘P/A Orders’’) 3

through the Intermarket Options 

Linkage (‘‘Linkage’’) prior to the 

opening of trading. This proposal would 

conform Amex Rule 918 to Joint 

Amendment No. 23 4 (‘‘Amendment No. 

23’’) to the Plan for the Purpose of 

Creating and Operating an Intermarket 

Options Linkage (the ‘‘Linkage Plan’’).5

The text of the proposed rule change is 

available at the Amex, at the 

Commission’s Public Reference Room, 

and at http://www.amex.com. 

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

In its filing with the Commission, the 

Exchange included statements 

concerning the purpose of, and basis for, 

its proposed rule change and discussed 

any comments it received on the 

proposed rule change. The text of these 

statements may be examined at the 

places specified in Item III below. The 

Exchange has prepared summaries, set 

forth in Sections A, B, and C below, of 

the most significant aspects of such 

statements. 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

The Amex proposes to adopt 

Commentary .06 to Amex Rule 918 to 

amend its rule to conform to 

Amendment No. 23 to the Linkage Plan. 

The proposal will permit the use of the 

Linkage prior to the opening of trading. 

Prior to the adoption of Amendment No. 

23, the Linkage Plan did not 

comtemplate the use of the Linkage 

before a Linkage Plan participant (a 

‘‘Participant’’) opened for trading and 

disseminated a quotation in an options 

series. In addition, there was no tradethrough protection for opening trades. 

As a result, if there was a better market 

away at the time a Plan Participant 

opens its market, the Amex specialist, 

responsible both for the opening and for 

protecting customer orders, could not 

access that market for a customer. The 

customer accordingly could receive a 

price inferior to the national best bid 

and offer (‘‘NBBO’’). This proposal, 

along with Amendment No. 23 to the 

Linkage Plan, will permit the sending of 

P/A Orders prior to the opening, 

allowing the Amex specialist to access 

better markets on behalf of customers 

prior to the Exchange’s opening. 

In implementing this proposed rule 

change, the Exchange represented that it 

will ensure that customers receive the 

best price for their orders. Under the 

Linkage Plan, a Participant receiving 

market has five (5) seconds to respond 

to a P/A Order, and the Participant 

receiving market can then reject a 

response it receives more than five (5) 

seconds after sending the order. In the 

unlikely event that the Amex opens its 

market during this five (5) second 

period, it is possible that the opening 

price could differ from the price of an 

executed P/A Order. In that case, the 

Amex represented that it will ensure 

that the specialist provides the customer 

with the most advantageous price. 

Therefore, the proposal will only benefit 

customers by providing them with 

potential price improvement at the 

opening. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes the proposed 

rule change is consistent with the Act 

and the rules and regulations under the 

Act applicable to national securities 

exchanges and, in particular, the 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
