VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:07 Sep 29, 2006 Jkt 211001 III. Commission’s Findings and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of Proposed Plan Amendment The Commission finds that the proposed Joint-SRO Plan amendment is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.4 Specifically, the Commission believes that the proposed amendment, which permits ISE to become a participant to the Joint-SRO Plan, is consistent with the requirements of Section 11A of the Act, and Rule 608 of Regulation NMS. The Plan establishes appropriate procedures for market centers to follow in making their monthly reports required pursuant to Rule 605 of Regulation NMS, available to the public in a uniform, readily accessible, and usable electronic format. The proposed amendment to include ISE as a participant in the JointSRO Plan will contribute to the maintenance of fair and orderly markets and remove impediments to and perfect the mechanisms of a national market system by facilitating the uniform public disclosure of order execution information by all market centers. The Commission finds good cause to grant temporary effectiveness to the proposed Joint-SRO Plan amendment, for 120 days, until January 30, 2007. The Commission believes that it is necessary and appropriate in the public interest, for the maintenance of fair and orderly markets, to remove impediments to, and perfect mechanisms of, a national market system to allow ISE to become a participant in the Joint-SRO Plan. On September 1, 2006, the Commission approved a proposed rule change by the ISE to establish ISE Stock Exchange, LLC (‘‘ISE Stock Exchange’’) as an equities trading facility of ISE.5 As a Plan participant, ISE would have timely information on the Plan procedures as they are formulated and modified by the participants. The Commission finds, therefore, that granting temporary effectiveness of the proposed Joint-SRO Plan amendment is appropriate and consistent with Section 11A of the Act.6 4 In approving this proposed Joint-SRO Plan amendment, the Commission has considered the proposal’s impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 5 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54399 (September 1, 2006), 71 FR 53728 (September 12, 2006). The ISE Stock Exchange consists of a new electronic trading system developed to trade equities and will provide for the electronic execution and display of orders as well as a midpoint matching system. The Commission has published for comment a proposed rule change by ISE to adopt rules and amend existing ISE rules to govern the ISE Stock Exchange. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54287 (August 8, 2006), 71 FR 46947 (August 15, 1006). 6 15 U.S.C. 78k–1. PO 00000 Frm 00103 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 58019 IV. Conclusion It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 11A of the Act 7 and Rule 608 of Regulation NMS,8 that the proposed Joint-SRO Plan amendment is approved for 120 days, through January 30, 2007. For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated authority.9 Nancy M. Morris, Secretary. [FR Doc.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[File No. 500-1]


In the Matter of China Energy Savings Technology, Inc.; Corrected 
Order of Suspension of Trading

September 26, 2006.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is 
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of 
China Energy Savings Technology, Inc. (``China Energy''), a Nevada 
corporation headquartered in Hong Kong, which trades in the over-the-
counter market under the symbol ``CESV.''
    Questions have arisen regarding the accuracy and completeness of 
information contained in China Energy's press releases and public 
filings with the Commission concerning, among other things: (i) The 
company's purported ownership and control of its sole asset, Shenzhen 
Dicken Industrial Development, a manufacturer of energy saving devices 
located and doing business in the People's Republic of China; and (ii) 
the existence and/or identity of the company's purported former 
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Sun Li.
    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the 
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the 
securities of the above-listed company.
    Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to section 12(k) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the above-listed 
company is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EDT, September 26, 
2006, through 11:59 p.m. EDT, on October 9, 2006.
