According to the proposal, MPL Orders will be exempted from credits that currently appear in the following sections of the Exchange’s Fee Schedule: NYSE ARCA MARKETPLACE: TRADE RELATED CHARGES, NYSE ARCA MARKETPLACE: MARKET MAKER FEES AND CHARGES, and the ETP Holder Transaction Credit and Market Data Revenue Sharing Credit under NYSE ARCA MARKETPLACE: OTHER FEES AND CHARGES. Consistent with the proposal to exempt MPL Orders from any credits, the Exchange will not assess fees to ETP Holders submitting MPL Orders for execution, as such orders shall not be viewed as removing liquidity from the NYSE Arca book. Secondly, consistent with the proposal to exempt Users submitting MPL Orders from any credits, the Exchange will not assess fees to Users submitting MPL Orders for execution, as such orders shall not be viewed as removing liquidity from the NYSE Arca book. Accordingly, MPL Orders will be exempted from fees that currently appear in the following sections of the Exchange’s Fee Schedule: NYSE ARCA MARKETPLACE: TRADE RELATED CHARGES and NYSE ARCA MARKETPLACE: MARKET MAKER FEES AND CHARGES. Finally, the Exchange proposes to amend the Fee Schedule to exempt Users from the $0.001 per share fee for any order routed to the New York Stock Exchange, L.L.C. (‘‘NYSE’’) if such order is for a security listed on the NYSE and is designated as a PSO. Accordingly, PSOs will be exempted from the $0.001 per share fee for orders routed outside the book to the NYSE that currently appears in the following section of the Exchange’s Fee Schedule: NYSE ARCA MARKETPLACE: TRADE RELATED CHARGES. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with section 6(b) of the Act 9 in general and furthers the objectives of section 6(b)(4) 10 in particular that it is intended to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its members and other persons using its facilities. pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES 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 Written comments on the proposed rule change were neither solicited nor received. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action The foregoing proposed rule change is subject to section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act 11 and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b–4 thereunder 12 because it establishes or changes a due, fee, or other charge applicable only to a member imposed by a self-regulatory organization. Accordingly, the proposal is effective upon Commission receipt of the filing. 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.

The self-regulatory organization 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 Changes 1. Purpose a. NYSE Arca Equities Rule 4.5(e), Rule 7.16, Rule 7.18, and Rule 7.37 On June 28, 2007, the SEC released final rules deleting the price test of Rule 10a–1 and amending Regulation SHO to prohibit any SRO from having a price test in place. The Exchange proposes to make certain conforming amendments to NYSE Arca Equities Rule 4.5(e), Rule 7.16, Rule 7.18, and Rule 7.37 to address the deletion of Rule 10a–1. This rule filing proposes to delete the Exchange’s current price test restrictions and remove requirements relating to marking sell orders ‘‘exempt’’ based on exceptions set forth in Rule 10a–1. In addition, other conforming and ‘‘housekeeping’’ changes are also proposed to replace references to Rule 10a–1 in certain Exchange rules and, where appropriate, add references to relevant rules in Regulation SHO. b. NYSE Arca Rule 4.5(f) and Rule 11.8 On June 28, 2007, the SEC released final rules deleting the price test of Rule 10a–1 and amending Regulation SHO to prohibit any SRO from having a price test in place. The Exchange proposes to make certain conforming amendments to NYSE Arca Rule 4.5(f) and Rule 11.8 to address the deletion of Rule 10a–1.

Statutory Basis The Exchange believes the proposed rule changes are consistent with section 6(b) of the Act 4 in general and further the objectives of section 6(b)(5) 5 in particular in that they are designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principals of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, and to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system. 4 15 3 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6).

The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay. The Commission believes such waiver is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest because it would allow the proposed rule changes to be effective on July 6, 2007, the compliance date for the amendments to Rule 10a– 1 and Regulation SHO.8 For this reason, the Commission designates the proposals to be operative upon filing with the Commission. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule changes, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule changes 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.

DATES: Submit comments on or before October 29, 2007. ADDRESSES: Send all comments regarding whether this information collection is necessary for the proper performance of the function of the agency, whether the burden estimates are accurate, and if there are ways to minimize the estimated burden and enhance the quality of the collection, to Gail Hepler, Chief 7a Loan Policy Branch, Office of Financial Assistance, Small Business Administration, 409 3rd Street, SW., Suite 8300, Washington, DC 20416.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SBA has continued to hear from many lenders, particularly rural/small lenders, that despite recent efforts to streamline its loan processes through such initiatives as SBAExpress, the Agency is not meeting the needs of these lenders for small SBA guaranteed loans. This is supported by the limited number of SBA loans produced by smaller lenders. As a result, SBA is moving forward to redesign its standard 7(a) loan application form and re-engineer its standard 7(a) loan process for loans of $350,000 or less, which will be processed through a centralized and highly automated and streamlined loan facility. The proposed information collection thus represents the first phase of the redesign of an existing SBA loan form (SBA Form 4 and Form 4–I), initially for loans of $350,000, with the redesign intended to reduce the time and paperwork of lenders and the public to prepare an SBA loan application. This redesign of the SBA loan application process for loans of $350,000 or less will be the first phase of what ultimately will become a tiered loan application process that will require less information for smaller loans but appropriately more information from a borrower or lender PO 00000 Frm 00098 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 as the size and/or complexity of a loan increases.

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization 
included statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the 
proposed rule changes and discussed any comments it received on the 
proposed rule changes. The text of these statements may be examined at 
the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization 
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 Changes

1. Purpose
    a. NYSE Arca Equities Rule 4.5(e), Rule 7.16, Rule 7.18, and Rule 
7.37
    On June 28, 2007, the SEC released final rules deleting the price 
test of Rule 10a-1 and amending Regulation SHO to prohibit any SRO from 
having a price test in place. The Exchange proposes to make certain 
conforming amendments to NYSE Arca Equities Rule 4.5(e), Rule 7.16, 
Rule 7.18, and Rule 7.37 to address the deletion of Rule 10a-1. This 
rule filing proposes to delete the Exchange's current price test 
restrictions and remove requirements relating to marking sell orders 
``exempt'' based on exceptions set forth in Rule 10a-1. In addition, 
other conforming and ``housekeeping'' changes are also proposed to 
replace references to Rule 10a-1 in certain Exchange rules and, where 
appropriate, add references to relevant rules in Regulation SHO.
    b. NYSE Arca Rule 4.5(f) and Rule 11.8
    On June 28, 2007, the SEC released final rules deleting the price 
test of Rule 10a-1 and amending Regulation SHO to prohibit any SRO from 
having a price test in place. The Exchange proposes to make certain 
conforming amendments to NYSE Arca Rule 4.5(f) and Rule 11.8 to address 
the deletion of Rule 10a-1. This rule filing proposes to delete the 
Exchange's current price test restrictions and remove requirements 
relating to marking sell orders ``exempt'' based on exceptions set 
forth in Rule 10a-1. In addition, other conforming and ``housekeeping'' 
changes are also proposed to replace references to Rule 10a-1 in 
certain Exchange rules and, where appropriate, add references to 
relevant rules in Regulation SHO.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule changes are consistent with 
section 6(b) of the Act \4\ in general and further the objectives of 
section 6(b)(5) \5\ in particular in that they are designed to prevent 
fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and 
equitable principals of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination 
with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, and to 
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open 
market and a national market system.

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule changes 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 Changes Received From Members, Participants or Others

    Written comments on the proposed rule changes were neither 
solicited nor received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Changes and Timing for 
Commission Action

    The foregoing proposed rule changes have become effective upon 
filing pursuant to section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \6\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) \7\ thereunder because they do not (i) Significantly affect the 
protection of investors or the public interest, (ii) impose any 
significant burden on competition, and (ii) become operative within 30 
days after the date of the filing.

    \7\ 17 CFR 19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative 
delay. The Commission believes such waiver is consistent with the 
protection of investors and the public interest because it would allow 
the proposed rule changes to be effective on July 6, 2007, the 
compliance date for the amendments to Rule 10a-1 and Regulation SHO.\8\ 
For this reason, the Commission designates the proposals to be 
operative upon filing with the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day pre-operative 
period, the Commission has considered the impact of the proposed 
rule changes on efficiency, competition and capital formation. 15 
U.S.C. 78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule 
changes, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule changes 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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule 
changes are consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any
