On September 21, 2006, NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca” or “Exchange”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) [1] and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,[2] a proposed rule change to amend NYSE Arca Rule 3.3 to provide that the Exchange's Regulatory Oversight Committee (the “ROC”) shall be comprised of at least three Public Directors, rather than all the Public Directors. On October 20, 2006, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change. The proposed rule change, as amended, was published for comment in the Federal Register on October 27, 2006.[3] The Commission received no comments regarding the proposal.
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 [4] and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act.[5] Section 6(b)(5) requires, among other things, that the rules of an exchange be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. The Commission notes that the proposed rule change, by establishing a minimum committee size for the ROC, would allow the Exchange to reduce the ROC to three members. The Commission notes that the proposed rule change would retain the requirement that all members of the ROC be Public Directors.[6] Accordingly, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change, as amended, is consistent with the Act.
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,[7] that the proposed rule change (SR-NYSEArca-2006-58), as amended, is approved.
Start SignatureFor the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated authority.[8]
Florence E. Harmon,
Deputy Secretary.
