MACRO Tradeable Shares
October 26, 2006.
Pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 2 thereunder,
notice is hereby given that on August
23, 2006, the American Stock Exchange
LLC (‘‘Amex’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with
the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘SEC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’)
the proposed rule change as described
in Items I, II, and III below, which Items
have been prepared by the Exchange.
On October 20, 2006, Amex filed
Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule
change.3 The Commission is publishing
this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change, as amended, from
interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

the Proposed Rule Change
The Amex proposes to list and trade
under new Amex Rules 1400 et seq. (1)
Claymore MACROshares Oil Up

The text of the proposed rule change,
as amended, is available on the Amex’s
Web site (https://www.Amex.com), at the
Amex’s Office of the Secretary, and at

site (https://www.sec.gov/rules/sro/

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission, the
Amex included statements concerning
the purpose of and basis for the
proposed rule change, as amended. The
text of these statements may be
examined at the places specified in Item
IV below. The Amex 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 Exchange proposes to add new
section 1400 et seq. for the purpose of
permitting the listing and trading of
securities issued by a pair of related
trusts and based on an index or other
numerical variable (‘‘Reference Price’’)
whose value reflects the value of assets,

Tradeable Trust’’) and (2) the Claymore
MACROshares Oil Down Tradeable
Trust (the ‘‘Down-MACRO Tradeable
Trust’’ and together with the UpMACRO Tradeable Trust, the ‘‘MACRO
Tradeable Trusts’’). Each of these
securities represents an undivided
beneficial interest in the respective
MACRO Tradeable Trust.
The assets of the Up-MACRO
Tradeable Trust will consist exclusively
of a majority of the Claymore
