Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 46 / Friday, March 9, 2007 / Notices Exchange will automatically route orders to other markets to prevent tradethroughs beginning on the Trading Phase Date. Further, the filing seeks to rename NYSE Rule 15A from ‘‘ITS ‘Trade-Throughs’ And ‘Locked Markets’ ’’ to ‘‘Order Protection Rule.’’11 In addition, the NYSE has requested from the Commission limited no-action relief with respect to the Exchange’s obligation to route orders, in accordance with amended Rule 15A.50, proposed herein, to protected quotations, as defined in Rule 600(b)(57) under the Act,12 of NASD ADF participants and the International Stock Exchange, LLC beginning on Reg. NMS’s Trading Phase Date until April 5, 2007.13 2. Statutory Basis The basis under the Act for this proposed rule change is the requirement under Section 6(b)(5) 14 that an Exchange have rules that are 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. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose 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 The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on the proposed rule change. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action The proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 15 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder 16 because the proposal does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES 11 NYSE Rule 19 governs locking or crossing protected quotations in NMS stocks. Additionally, a forthcoming filing will propose conforming changes to NYSE rules to reflect the elimination of the ITS Plan. 12 17 CFR 242.600(b)(57). 13 See Letter from Mary Yeager, Assistant Secretary, NYSE, to Nancy M. Morris, Secretary, Commission, dated March 1, 2007. 14 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). 15 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). 16 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). VerDate Aug<31>2005 21:24 Mar 08, 2007 Jkt 211001 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.17 NYSE has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay. The Commission believes that such waiver is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest because the proposed rule change will allow the Exchange to implement, without delay, its amended Rule 15A.50 to specify the circumstances under which the Exchange will automatically route orders to other market centers to prevent trade-throughs on its market beginning on March 5, 2007, which marks the Trading Phase Date of Regulation NMS and the expected termination of the ITS Plan. Accordingly, the Commission hereby designates the proposed rule change to be operative on March 5, 2007.18 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.19 IV.
