Commission’s Findings and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of Proposed Rule Change The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, applicable to a national securities exchange.15 In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act 16 in that it promotes just and equitable principles of trade and protects investors and the public interest by requiring Equity EAMs that do business with the public to become NASD members. As NASD members those broker-dealers would be subject to a set of rules designed to protect investors.17 ISE has requested accelerated effectiveness of the proposed rule change. ISE has also indicated that it believes most EAMs that do business with the public are already NASD members and all Equity EAMs that do business with the public are NASD members.18 After careful consideration, the Commission finds good cause, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,19 for approving the proposed rule change prior to the thirtieth day after the date of publication of notice in the Federal Register. The Commission notes ISE must have rules concerning doing 15 In approving this proposal, the Commission has considered its impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 16 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). 17 See, e.g., NASD Rules 2310, 2315, 2320. 2330, 2340, 2341, 2350, 2360, 2361, and 2370, as well as IM–2310 and IM–2330. 18 Telephone call between Laura Clare, Assistant General Counsel, ISE, and Haimera Workie, Special Counsel, Office of Chief Counsel, Division of Market Regulation, SEC, on August 31, 2006. 19 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

Moreover, because most EAMs are already NASD members, the proposal would not impose additional requirements on the majority of ISE members. Therefore, granting accelerated approval would facilitate ISE’s ability to trade equity securities in a timely manner. Accordingly, the Commission finds that there is good cause, consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,20 to approve the proposal on an accelerated basis. V. Conclusion It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,21 that the proposed rule change (SR–ISE–2006–53) is hereby approved on an accelerated basis.
