Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 46 / Thursday, March 10, 2005 / Notices
2. Statutory Basis
The CHX believes the proposal is
consistent with the requirements of the
Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder that are applicable to a
national securities exchange, and, in
particular, with the requirements of
Section 6(b).12 The CHX believes the
proposal is consistent with Section
6(b)(5) of the Act 13 in that it is designed
to promote just and equitable principles
of trade, to remove impediments, and to
perfect the mechanism of, a free and
open market and a national market
system, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will impose
any inappropriate burden on
competition.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants or Others
No written comments were either
solicited or received.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Because the foregoing proposed pilot
rule change does not:
(i) Significantly affect the protection
of investors or the public interest;
(ii) Impose any significant burden on
competition; and
(iii) Become operative for 30 days
from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission
may designate, it has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the
Act 14 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6)
thereunder.15 At any time during the 60day pilot period, 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.
The Exchange has requested that the
Commission waive the 30-day operative
delay in Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii). The
Commission believes such waiver is
consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest
because it will allow the pilot to operate
without delay. For this reason, the
Commission designates the proposal to
12 15
U.S.C. 78(f)(b).
U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
14 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
