It appears to the Securities and
Exchange Commission that there is a
lack of current and accurate information
concerning the securities of 21st
Century Technologies, Inc., (‘‘21st
Century’’) because of questions that
have been raised about the accuracy of
publicly disseminated information
concerning, among other things, the
valuations assigned to certain purported
assets of 21st Century in the company’s
most recent Quarterly Report on Form
10–Q and in other filings with the
Commission.
The Commission is of the opinion that
the public interest and the protection of
investors require a suspension of trading

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Notice
of Filing of Proposed Rule Change by
the American Stock Exchange LLC To
Require Members To Use and Maintain
a Back-up Automatic Quote System in
ANTE Classes
February 15, 2005.
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 January
12, 2005, the American Stock Exchange
LLC (‘‘Amex’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with
the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the
proposed rule change as described in
items I, II and III below, which items
have been prepared by the Amex. The
Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule
change from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The Amex proposes to require
members to use and maintain a back-up
quoting system in ANTE classes and to
incorporate violations of this
requirement in the Exchange’s Minor
Rule Violation Plan (‘‘Plan’’). The text of
the proposed rule change is available on
the Amex’s Web site (https://
www.amex.com), at the Amex’s Office of
the Secretary, and at the Commission’s
Public Reference Room.
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
Amex included statements concerning
the purpose of and basis for the

proposed rule change. The text of these
statements may be examined at the
places specified in item IV below. The
Amex 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 Exchange seeks to amend Amex
Rule 950–ANTE(l), Commentary .02(a)
to require a Specialist utilizing an
Exchange-approved proprietary
automatic quote system in a class
trading on Amex’s ANTE system to have
available for immediate use the
Exchange-provided automatic quote
system that is independent of the
Specialist’s primary automatic quote
system. Specialists would be required to
take appropriate provisions to
immediately fall back onto the
Exchange-provided automatic quotation
system should their Exchange-approved
proprietary automatic quote system fail.
Included within ‘‘appropriate
provisions’’ would be the requirement
that Specialists be diligent in keeping
their theoretical values current in their
back-up system. This requirement
would apply at all times during market
hours. The Amex believes that the backup system would need to be
independent in order to ensure that any
event that could cause a failure to the
primary automatic quote system would
not corrupt the back-up system.
The Exchange believes that the failure
of a proprietary automatic quote system
could result in the Amex’s inability to
open an entire group of listed options
classes for a brief or sometimes lengthy
time period. Thus, the Amex seeks to
require that Specialists have the
Exchange-provided automatic quotation
system ready, as a back-up, should their
primary automatic quote system fail.
The Exchange believes that failure to
comply with the proposed requirement
should be subject to sanction under the
Plan.
The Exchange has had the Plan since
1976, which provides a simplified
procedure for the resolution of minor
rule violations. Codified in Amex Rule
590, the Plan has three distinct sections:
Part 1 (‘‘General Rule Violations’’)
which covers more substantive matters
that, nonetheless, are deemed ‘‘minor’’
by the Commission and the Amex; Part
2 (‘‘Floor Decorum’’) which covers Floor
Decorum and operational matters; and
Part 3 (‘‘Reporting Violations’’) which
