IV. 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

considered its impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).

IM–2310 and IM–2330.

business with the public in place prior
to ISE commencing trading in nonoption equity securities. 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.
For the Commission, by the Division of
Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated
authority.22

Secretary.

Collection under Non-Attorney
Demonstration Project—0960–NEW.
