Conclusion DEPARTMENT OF STATE After careful consideration, 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 6 and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6 of the Act.7 Specifically, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,8 which requires, among other things, that the rules of a national securities exchange be designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. The Commission believes that expanding the basket of equity securities that may be linked to a BLN may enhance competition and benefit investors and the marketplace through additional product choices and alternatives. The Commission does not believe that there would be investor protection concerns with expanding the number of equity securities that may be linked to a BLN from more than one common stock to up to thirty common stocks. The Commission notes that the proposed rule change to Phlx’s listing standards for BLNs, specifically Phlx Rule 803(k), is substantially similar to the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange LLC regarding equity linked term notes, which are substantially similar investment products.9 The Commission finds good cause to grant accelerated approval of the proposed rule change because it will enable the Exchange to immediately consider listing and trading a BLN consistent with the rules of other national securities exchanges and does not raise any new regulatory issues. Accordingly, the Commission finds good cause for approving the proposed rule change prior to the thirtieth day after the notice is published for comment in the Federal Register pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act.10 cprice-sewell on PROD1PC62 with NOTICES III. Discussion It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,11 that the proposed rule change (SR–Phlx–2006– 85) is hereby approved on an accelerated basis. [Public Notice 5693] 6 In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has considered the proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 7 15 U.S.C. 78f. 8 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). 9 See Amex Company Guide Section 107B; and Securities Exchange Act Release No. 47055 (December 19, 2002), 67 FR 79669 (December 30, 2002) (SR–Amex–2002–110). 10 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
