Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 54 / Tuesday, March 21, 2006 / Notices
of testing and training that has occurred
to date.10
Therefore, the Exchange believes it is
appropriate to extend the Pilot through
March 24, 2006.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b) of the Act 11 in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5)
of the Act 12 in particular, in that it is
designed to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to foster cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged
in regulating, clearing, settling,
processing information with respect to,
and facilitating transactions in
securities, to remove impediments to
and perfect the mechanism of a free and
open market and a national market
system, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest. The
Exchange believes that the proposed
rule change is also designed to support
the principles of Section 11A(a)(1) of
the Act 13 in that it seeks to assure
economically efficient execution of
securities transactions, make it
practicable for brokers to execute
investors’ orders in the best market, and
provide an opportunity for investors’
orders to be executed without the
participation of a dealer.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants or Others
The Exchange has neither solicited
nor received written comments on the
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Because the foregoing proposed rule
change does not significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public
interest; does not impose any significant
burden on competition; and by its
terms, does not become operative for 30
days from the date on which it was
filed, or such shorter time as the
10 See Telephone conversation between Jeffrey
Rosenstrock, Principal Rule Counsel, NYSE, and
Steve L. Kuan, Special Counsel, Division of Market
Regulation, Commission, on March 14, 2006.

Commission may designate if consistent
with the protection of investors and the
public interest, it has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the
Act 14 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6)
thereunder.15
A proposed rule change filed under
Rule 19b–4(f)(6) normally may not
become operative prior to 30 days after
the date of filing. However, Rule 19b–
4(f)(6)(iii) 16 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
operative delay and designate the
proposed rule change immediately
operative upon filing. The Commission
believes that waiver of the five-day prefiling notice requirement and the 30-day
operative delay is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public
interest because it would allow the Pilot
to continue without interruption.
Accordingly, the Commission
designates the proposal to be effective
and operative upon filing with the
Commission.17
At any time within 60 days of the
filing of the proposed rule change, 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.
IV. Solicitation of Comments
Interested persons are invited to
submit written data, views and
arguments concerning the foregoing,
including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act.
Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

of the Medicare Modernization Act of

conduct low-income subsidy eligibility
redeterminations for Medicare

when: (1) Medicare Part D subsidy
beneficiaries use form SSA–1026–REDE
to report a change in income, resources,
or household information in response to
SSA’s inquiry via form SSA–L1026 and
(2) Medicare Part D subsidy
beneficiaries use form SSA–1026–SCE

which could potentially impact the
amount of their subsidy, including
marriage, separation, divorce/
annulment, or spousal death. The
respondents are current recipients of the
Medicare Part D low-income subsidy
who will undergo an eligibility
redetermination for one of the reasons
mentioned above.
