of filing.13 However, Rule 19b–
4(f)(6)(iii) 14 permits the Commission to
designate a shorter time if such action
is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. The
Exchange has requested that the
Commission waive the five-day prefiling notice requirement and the 30-day
pre-operative delay. The Commission is

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,
