this proposed rule change is found in
Section 6(b)(5). Specifically, the

change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5)
requirements that the rules of an
exchange be designed to promote just
and equitable principles of trade, serve
to remove impediments to and perfect
the mechanism for a free and open
market and a national market system,
and, in general, to protect investors and
the public interest.
