At the same time, it will preserve a reasonable period for orders to interact in the auction market. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The BSE 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 jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action Because the foregoing proposed 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 8 and Rule 19b– 4(f)(6) thereunder.9 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. 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.10 However, Rule 19b– 4(f)(6)(iii) 11 permits the Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. The BSE provided the Commission with written notice of its intent to file this U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).

Solicitation of Comments For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated authority.14 Nancy M. Morris, Secretary. [FR Doc. E6–8357 Filed 5–30–06; 8:45 am] 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.

In addition, the BSE has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay. The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest because the proposed rule change is based on rules recently approved by the Commission for two other exchanges.12 For this reason, the Commission designates the proposal to be effective and operative upon filing with the Commission.13 SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION • Use the Commission’s Internet comment form (https://www.sec.gov/ rules/sro.shtml); or • Send an e-mail to rulecomments@sec.gov.

Foy and Mr. Iftikhar Ahmed in March 2006 Pursuant to section 301 of the Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Antiterrorism Act of 1986, as amended (22 U.S.C. 4831 et seq.), the Secretary of State has determined that a recent attack on an official motorcade in Karachi, Pakistan involved loss of life that was at or related to a U.S. mission abroad. Therefore, the Secretary has convened an Accountability Review Board to examine the facts and the circumstances of the attacks and to report to me such findings and recommendations as it deems appropriate, in keeping with the attached mandate. The Secretary has appointed David C. Fields, a retired U.S. Ambassador, as Chair of the Board. He will be assisted by Carolee Heileman, William Pope, Melvin Harrison, John Weber and the Executive Secretary to the Board, Hugo Carl Gettinger. They bring to their deliberations distinguished backgrounds in government service and/or in the private sector. The Board will submit its conclusions and recommendations to Secretary Rice within 60 days of its first meeting, unless the Chair determines a need for additional time. Appropriate action will be taken and reports submitted to Congress on any recommendations made by the Board. Anyone with information relevant to the Board’s examination of these incidents should contact the Board promptly at (202) 647–5204 or send a fax to (202) 647–3282.

PO 00000 Frm 00121 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 BILLING CODE 4710–35–P Federal Railroad Administration Petition for Waiver of Compliance In accordance with part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), notice is hereby given that the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) received a request for a waiver of compliance with certain requirements of its safety standards. The individual petition is described below, including the party seeking relief, the regulatory provisions involved, the nature of the relief being requested, and the petitioner’s arguments in favour of relief. Burlington Northern Sante Fe Corporation [Docket Number FRA–2006–24812] The Burlington Northern Sante Fe Corporation (BNSF), seeks a temporary waiver of compliance from certain provisions of 49 CFR part 232, Brake System Safety Standards for Freight and Other Non-Passenger Trains and Equipment. Specifically, the mileage and inspection requirements contained in § 232.213, Extended Haul Trains. BNSF would like to perform the 1500 mile extended haul inspection for thirteen select trains at points which slightly exceed the 1500 mile point for inbound and outbound inspections for a period of six months. BNSF does not believe that this increase will in any way compromise the safety of BNSF’s operations. BNSF claims this request is critical given the increased rate of demand for coal by the utility industry. BNSF believes that granting this waiver for a period of six months will significantly improve their ability to transport coal without any degradation to the safe operation of the following train sets: E–PAMATM, E–PAMBAM, E–PAMBTM, E–PAMNAM, E– PAMSBM, E–PAMEBM, E–MHSATM, E–MHSBKM, E–MHSCAM, E– MHSEBM, E–MHSJRM, E–MHSNAM, E–MHSRWM. BNSF states that mechanical and operating forces would be provided the list of trains allowed to operate past the 1500 mile threshold. Additionally, BNSF would keep records of any defects discovered during the inspections, as required, to include any defective cars set out enroute. E:\FR\FM\31MYN1.SGM 31MYN1
