Discussion After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change, as amended, is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange.8 In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change, as amended, is consistent with section 6(b)(5) of the Act,9 which requires, among other things, that the rules of a national securities exchange be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, 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. In addition, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change, as amended, is consistent with section 6(b)(6) of the Act,10 which requires that the rules of the exchange provide that its members and persons associated with its members shall be appropriately disciplined for violation of the provisions of the Act, the rules and regulations thereunder, or the rules of the exchange, and with section 6(b)(7) of Act,11 which requires that the rules of the exchange provide a fair procedure for the disciplining of members and persons associated with members. The Commission believes that the proposed rule change should streamline and expedite the hearing process by having a permanent Hearing Officer and pre-screened, qualified Hearing Panelists, and by having the Hearing Panel issue a final decision itself, without having to go to the BCC for review and approval. In addition, the Commission notes that the Exchange proposes to place restrictions on the activities of the Hearing Officer, and to require a Hearing Officer or Hearing Panelist to remove himself from consideration of a matter if he cannot render a fair and impartial decision. The Commission believes that these measures should help to ensure to that the Hearing Officer and Hearing Panelists are completely neutral and that their decisions are fair and impartial. Furthermore, the Commission believes that having a single Hearing Officer preside over all hearings will 8 In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has considered the proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 9 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). 10 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(6). 11 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(7). VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:22 Jun 22, 2006 Jkt 208001 increase the likelihood that more uniform sanctions will be imposed for similar misconduct by members, making the Exchange’s disciplinary process more fair. The Commission finds good cause for accelerating approval of the proposed rule change, as amended by Amendment No. 1, prior to the 30th day after the date of publication of notice of the filing in the Federal Register. The Commission published the proposed rule change for public comment on May 26, 2006 for a 15-day comment period and received no comments on the proposal. The Commission believes that accelerated approval should expedite the appointment of a hearing officer and allow the Exchange to implement a more efficient disciplinary process.12 IV. Conclusion It is therefore ordered, pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the Act,13 that the proposed rule change (SR–Phlx–2005– 65), as amended, is approved. For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated authority.14 Nancy M. Morris, Secretary. [FR Doc.
