already have been listed and trading on 

an exchange that has last-sale reporting. 

The Commission believes that the 

proposed rule change will facilitate the 

listing and trading of additional types of 

exchange-traded products that will 

enhance competition among market 

participants, to the benefit of investors 

and the marketplace. In addition, the 

listing and trading criteria set forth in 

the proposal are intended to protect 

investors and the public interest. As 

such, the Commission believes it is 

reasonable and consistent with the Act 

for the Exchange to modify the index 

component eligibility criteria for Units 

in the manner described in the proposal. 

IV. Conclusion 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,19 that the 

proposed rule change (SR–NYSEArca–

2008–29), as modified by Amendment 

No. 1 thereto, be, and it hereby is, 

approved. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.20

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[File No. 500–1] 

In the Matter of: Health Professionals, 

Inc., Respondent; Order of Suspension 

of Trading 

May 5, 2008. 

It appears to the Securities and 

Exchange Commission that there is a 

lack of current and accurate information 

concerning the securities of Health 

Professionals, Inc. because it has not 

filed any periodic reports since it filed 

a Form 10–Q for the period ended 

December 31, 1997. 

The Commission is of the opinion that 

the public interest and the protection of 

investors require a suspension of trading 

in the securities of the above-listed 

company. 

Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to 

section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange 

Act of 1934, that trading in the 

securities of Health Professionals, Inc. is 

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

EDT on May 5, 2008 through 11:59 p.m. 

EDT on May 16, 2008. 

By the Commission.

Assistant Secretary.

Abstract of Proposed Collection 

Since 2002, MEPI has obligated more 

than $430 million to over 250 

organizations, who carry out more than 

370 projects in support of the 

empowerment of women and political, 

economic, and education reform in 20 

countries of the Middle East and North 

Africa. As a normal course of business 

and in compliance with OMB 

Guidelines contained in Circular A-110, 

recipient organizations are required to 

provide, and the U.S. State Department 

required to collect, periodic program 

and financial performance reports. The 

responsibility of the State Department to 

track and monitor the programmatic and 

financial performance necessitates a 

database that can help facilitate this in 

a consistent and standardized manner. 

The MEPI Performance Reporting 

System (PRS) enables enhanced 

monitoring and evaluation of grants 

through standardized collection and 

storage of relevant award elements, such 

as quarterly progress reports, workplans, 

results monitoring plans, grant 

agreements, financial reports, and other 

business information related to MEPI 

implementers. The PRS streamlines 

communication with implementers and 

allows for rapid identification of 

information gaps for specific projects. 

Methodology 

Information is entered into PRS 

electronically by respondents. Nonrespondents submit their quarterly 

reports on paper.
