Bloomberg, and Reuters), and historical 

data regarding the Index and the Indices 

are published at http:// 

www.indices.standardandpoors.com. 

The Commission also believes that the 

proposal to list and trade the Shares is 

reasonably designed to promote fair 

disclosure of information that may be 

necessary to price the Shares 

appropriately and to prevent trading 

when a reasonable degree of 

transparency cannot be assured. The 

Commission notes that the Exchange 

will obtain a representation on behalf of 

the Trusts that the per share values of 

the Up MacroShares and 

DownMacroShares will be calculated 

daily and made available to all market 

participants at the same time. 

Additionally, if it becomes aware that 

the per share value of either the Up 

MacroShares or DownMacroShares is 

not disseminated daily to all market 

participants at the same time, the 

Exchange will halt trading in the Shares 

until that information is available to all 

market participants. 

Though the Exchange has stated that 

the Index Committee has ‘‘complete 

discretion’’ to determine how the Index 

and its related indices are calculated, an 

Exchange’s obligations under Section 

19(b) of the Act and Rule 19b-4 

thereunder are independent of any 

discretion the Index Committee may 

have. Thus, the Exchange must monitor 

changes to the Shares, including any 

change to the calculation of the Index. 

The Exchange must assess whether any 

changes to the Shares would require it 

to submit a proposed rule change in 

accordance with Section 19(b)(1) of the 

Act 14 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,15 or 

take any other action as appropriate, 

including halting trading of the Shares. 

The Exchange has represented that 

the Shares are equity securities subject 

to the Exchange’s rules governing the 

trading of equity securities. In support 

of this proposal, the Exchange has made 

the following representations: 

(1) The Shares will conform to the 

initial and continued listing criteria 

under NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.400.16

(2) The Exchange’s surveillance 

procedures are adequate to properly 

monitor Exchange trading of the Shares 

in all trading sessions and to deter and 

detect violations of Exchange rules and 

applicable federal securities laws. 

(3) Prior to the commencement of 

trading, the Exchange will inform its 

ETP Holders in an Information Bulletin 

of the special characteristics and risks 

associated with trading the Shares, 

prospectus delivery requirements, and 

other information, as described in more 

detail in the Notice.17

This approval order is based on the 

Exchange’s representations. 

III. Accelerated Approval 

The Commission finds good cause, 

pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the 

Act,18 for approving the proposal prior 

to the thirteenth day after the date of 

publication of the Notice in the Federal 

Register. The Commission has received 

no comments regarding the proposed 

rule change, and the Commission finds 

that the proposed rule change does not 

raise any novel regulatory issues. 

Additionally, the Commission believes 

that accelerating approval of this 

proposal should benefit the market by 

making available to investors, without 

undue delay, additional products in the 

market for Paired Trust Shares. 

IV. Conclusion 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

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

proposed rule change (SR–NYSEArca– 

2008–92) be, and it hereby is, approved 

on an accelerated basis. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.20
