(‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2
notice is hereby given that on March 23,
2006, the American Stock Exchange LLC
(‘‘Amex’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule
change as described in Items I, II, and
III below, which Items have been
prepared by Amex. On June 15, 2006,
Amex filed Amendment No. 1 to the
proposed rule change.3 On June 27,
2006, Amex filed Amendment No. 2 to
the proposed rule change.4 The
Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule
change, as amended, from interested
persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
Amex proposes to amend Amex Rule
353 to limit members and member
organizations from allocating their seats
to interim members on the Floor of the
Exchange for a maximum of fifteen
aggregate days that may be used
consecutively or non-consecutively for a
one-year period beginning on the date of
approval as an interim member
(‘‘approval date’’). In addition, the
Exchange is proposing revisions to the
Amex Constitution and the Amex Fee
Schedule to correspond with the
changes to Amex Rule 353.
The text of the proposed rule change
is available on Amex’s Web site at
https://www.amex.com, at Amex’s
principal office, and at the
Commission’s Public Reference Room.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission,
Amex included statements concerning
the purpose of and basis for the
proposed rule change and discussed any
comments it received on the proposed
rule change. The text of these statements
may be examined at the places specified
in Item IV below. Amex has prepared
summaries, set forth in Sections A, B,
and C below, of the most significant
aspects of such statements.
U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
CFR 240.19b–4.
3 Amendment No. 1 replaced the original filing in
its entirety.
4 Amendment No. 2 clarifies that an interim
member may be designated or redesignated by a
member or member organization as an interim
member after it has exhausted the fifteen day
allocation even if this occurs prior to the end of the
one-year period. Amendment No. 2 also makes
technical corrections to the purpose section and the
rule text in Exhibit 5.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
An interim member is an individual,
pre-qualified by the Exchange, who is
designated by a member or member
organization to temporarily use the
membership for a specified period of
time when the member is absent from
the Trading Floor.5 Currently, Amex
Rule 353 permits unfettered temporary
allocation of a membership to an
interim member so long as the duration
is no less than one day and no more
than one year. The proposed
amendment to Amex Rule 353
significantly reduces the maximum
number of days an interim member can
receive such designation. The new
maximum would be reduced to fifteen
days that may be used by each interim
member consecutively or nonconsecutively for a one-year period
beginning on the approval date.
If an interim member has exhausted
the fifteen day period, even if this
occurs prior to end of the one-year
period, the member or member
organization may regain interim
membership status by designating
another interim member, or
redesignating the same interim member
to the seat by filing documents required
by the Membership Services Department
and paying the maintenance fee in
accordance with Article VII, Section 1(g)
of the Amex Constitution. The Exchange
believes that allowing unlimited
allocation to interim members lessens
the value of memberships by increasing
the number of unleased seats. By
permitting the designation of interim
members, the Exchange is essentially
permitting individuals who do not own
or lease seats to operate as members.
This circumvention of seat leasing and
ownership may artificially lessen the
value of a membership by decreasing its
demand. However, the Exchange also
believes that the Interim Member
program has served a useful function on
the Floor. Specifically, it provides
members with protection should
illnesses or emergencies arise and also
provides coverage when vacation is
taken. The Exchange believes that the
proposed amendment to Amex Rule 353
effectively balances concerns over
having adequate emergency coverage on
5 Article IV, Section 3(e) of the Amex Constitution
explicitly states that the designation of an interim
member is ‘‘subject to and in accordance with such
rules as may be adopted from time to time by the
Board of Governors.’’ Amex Rule 353 more
specifically sets forth the requirements, rights and
limitations of interim members.
