II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Changes

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 in general and further the objectives of section 6(b)(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.

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 and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) 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.

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. 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.
