Other Changes In addition, the Exchange proposes to further amend Regulations 2, 4, 5 and 6 to add language to indicate, pursuant to Exchange Rule 60, that Exchange Staff may impose fines for breaches of order, decorum, health, safety and welfare on the members, member organizations, participants, participant organizations and their associated persons. This language is intended to clarify the responsibility of members and their associated persons for compliance with Regulations. 2. Statutory Basis The proposal is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act 7 in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act 8 in particular, in that it is 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, because the proposal should facilitate prompt, appropriate, and effective discipline for violations of Exchange Rule 60 and the regulations thereunder designed to maintain order on the Exchange. In addition, the proposed rule is consistent with Section 6(b)(6) of the Act 9 which requires the rules of an exchange provide that its members be appropriately disciplined for violations of the Act as well as the rules and regulations thereunder, by imposing increased fine amounts for breaches of order and decorum to better reflect the severity of the violation and provide an appropriate form of deterrence for violation of Exchange Rule 60 and the regulations thereunder.
