The Exchange states that these administrative fees currently appear under the Legal & Regulatory section of the current fee schedule.

Accordingly, the proposal will take effect upon filing with the Commission.

The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act 8 in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act 9 in particular, in that it provides for an equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among ISE members.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action The foregoing proposed rule change has been designated as a fee change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the pwalker on PRODPC60 with NOTICES 6 The Exchange represents that there exists overlap in the costs associated with the regulatory fee for trading options and for trading equities. Therefore, if an EAM trades both, the EAM is only charged $6,000 instead of $10,000. Id. 7 The Exchange represents that the Trade Review Terminal and the related Order Routing Service are used exclusively for the trading of options. Therefore, the Trade Review Terminal fee and the associated Order Routing Service Connection Fee would only be charged to EAMs trading options. Id. 8 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). 9 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).

Pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2 notice is hereby given that on September 25, 2006, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (‘‘NASD’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by NASD. NASD has designated the proposed rule change as constituting a ‘‘non-controversial’’ rule change under section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 3 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder,4 which renders the proposal effective upon receipt of this filing by the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. I.

Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change In its filing with the Commission, NASD 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. NASD has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements. A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change pwalker on PRODPC60 with NOTICES 1. Purpose The Rule 9550 Series of NASD’s procedural rules establishes the procedures for expedited proceedings brought against NASD members or associated persons for certain types of actions. These actions include proceedings initiated for failure to pay NASD dues, fees, and other charges;5 failure to comply with an arbitration award or related settlement;6 and failure to comply with temporary cease and desist orders.7 The hearing procedures for all expedited proceedings initiated under the NASD Rule 9550 Series are set forth in NASD Rule 9559. Although most of the provisions in NASD Rule 9559 relate to the procedural requirements of the hearing and NASD’s written decisions, paragraph (s) notes that respondents have the right to appeal any decision issued after an expedited proceeding to the Commission and cites section 19(f) of the Act. Other provisions of NASD’s procedural rules refer more broadly to the Commission’s review of NASD decisions under section 19 of the Act without specifying a particular paragraph of the section.8 The proposed rule change would amend the reference to the Commission’s review of NASD decisions in expedited proceedings pursuant to section 19 of the Act by deleting the specific reference to paragraph (f) of section 19 and replacing it with a broad reference to section 19. NASD has filed the proposed rule change for immediate effectiveness. The effective date and the implementation date will be the date of filing, September 25, 2006. 2. Statutory Basis NASD believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the provisions of section 15A of the Act,9 in general, and with section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,10 in particular, which requires, among other things, that NASD rules must be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest and with section 15A(b)(8) of the Act,11 which requires, among other things, that NASD rules must provide a fair procedure for the disciplining of members and persons associated with members. NASD believes that the proposed rule change will clarify the citation to the Act with respect to the appeal of expedited proceedings to the Commission. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition NASD does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others Written comments were neither solicited nor received. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; 8 See e.g. NASD Rule 9870.

A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b–4(f)(6) normally may not become operative for 30 days after the date of its filing.15 However, Rule 19b– 4(f)(6)(iii) 16 permits the Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. NASD has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay based upon a representation that the proposed rule change merely clarifies a citation to section 19 of the Act. In light of the foregoing, the Commission believes such waiver is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. Accordingly, the Commission designated the proposal to be effective and operative upon filing with the Commission.17 At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, NASD 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. NASD has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, 
and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Rule 9550 Series of NASD's procedural rules establishes the 
procedures for expedited proceedings brought against NASD members or 
associated persons for certain types of actions. These actions include 
proceedings initiated for failure to pay NASD dues, fees, and other 
charges;\5\ failure to comply with an arbitration award or related 
settlement;\6\ and failure to comply with temporary cease and desist 
orders.\7\ The hearing procedures for all expedited proceedings 
initiated under the NASD Rule 9550 Series are set forth in NASD Rule 
9559. Although most of the provisions in NASD Rule 9559 relate to the 
procedural requirements of the hearing and NASD's written decisions, 
paragraph (s) notes that respondents have the right to appeal any 
decision issued after an expedited proceeding to the Commission and 
cites section 19(f) of the Act. Other provisions of NASD's procedural 
rules refer more broadly to the Commission's review of NASD decisions 
under section 19 of the Act without specifying a particular paragraph 
of the section.\8\ The proposed rule change would amend the reference 
to the Commission's review of NASD decisions in expedited proceedings 
pursuant to section 19 of the Act by deleting the specific reference to 
paragraph (f) of section 19 and replacing it with a broad reference to 
section 19.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See NASD Rule 9553.
    \6\ See NASD Rule 9554.
    \7\ See NASD Rule 9556.
    \8\ See e.g. NASD Rule 9870.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NASD has filed the proposed rule change for immediate 
effectiveness. The effective date and the implementation date will be 
the date of filing, September 25, 2006.
2. Statutory Basis
    NASD believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the 
provisions of section 15A of the Act,\9\ in general, and with section 
15A(b)(6) of the Act,\10\ in particular, which requires, among other 
things, that NASD rules must be designed to prevent fraudulent and 
manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable 
principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the 
public interest and with section 15A(b)(8) of the Act,\11\ which 
requires, among other things, that NASD rules must provide a fair 
procedure for the disciplining of members and persons associated with 
members. NASD believes that the proposed rule change will clarify the 
citation to the Act with respect to the appeal of expedited proceedings 
to the Commission.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    NASD does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in 
any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in 
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed 
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 
Commission Action

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not:
    (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public 
interest;
    (ii) Impose any significant burden on competition; and
    (iii) Become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was 
filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate if 
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, it 
has become effective pursuant to section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act-\12\ 
and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\13\ As required under Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii),\14\ NASD provided the Commission with written notice of 
NASD's intent to file the proposed rule change along with a brief 
description and text of the proposed rule change, at least five 
business days prior to the filing date of the proposed rule change.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally may 
not become operative for 30 days after the date of its filing.\15\ 
However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \16\ permits the Commission to designate 
a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of 
investors and the public interest. NASD has requested that the 
Commission waive the 30-day operative delay based upon a representation 
that the proposed rule change merely clarifies a citation to section 19 
of the Act. In light of the foregoing, the Commission believes such 
waiver is consistent with the protection of investors and the public 
interest. Accordingly, the Commission designated the proposal to be 
effective and operative upon filing with the Commission.\17\

    \16\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).

this proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's 
impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule 
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it 
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate 
in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise 
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
