Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 227 / Monday, November 24, 2008 / Notices 71083 For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.12 Florence E. Harmon, Acting Secretary. [FR Doc. E8–27883 Filed 11–21–08; 8:45 am] Percent sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES 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 prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanisms of a free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. The Commission notes that it has previously approved NYSE Arca Equities Rule 5.2(j)(6) to list and trade Index-Linked Securities, including Futures-Linked Securities on the Exchange pursuant to Rule 19b–4(e).9 The Exchange represented that any securities it would list and/or trade pursuant to proposed amended NYSE Arca Equities Rule 5.2(j)(6) would continue to comply with all Exchange rules applicable to the listing and trading of Index Linked Securities. Therefore, the Commission does not believe that the proposed rule change raises any novel regulatory issues and hereby approves the proposed rule change. In addition, the Commission finds good cause, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,10 for approving the proposed rule change prior to the thirtieth day after the date of publication of notice in the Federal Register. The Commission believes that accelerating approval of the proposed rule change would facilitate the listing and trading of additional Futures-Linked Securities, offering greater choices to market participants, while still protecting investors. For the reasons discussed above, the Commission does not believe that the proposed rule change raises any new regulatory issues. It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,11 that the proposed rule change (SR– NYSEArca2008–111) is hereby approved on an accelerated basis. 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, supra, note 4. 10 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2). 11 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
