    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that

a ``non-controversial'' proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder,\4\ which

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to list and trade shares of the
iShares[supreg] MSCI Denmark Capped Investable Market Index Fund as
Index Fund Shares pursuant to Exchange Rule 14.11(c).
    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
Web site at www.batstrading.com, at the principal office of the
Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant parts of such
statements.

(A) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to list and trade shares (``Shares'') of the
following fund of the iShares Trust (``Trust''): iShares[supreg] MSCI
Denmark Capped Investable Market Index Fund (``Fund'') pursuant to
Exchange Rule 14.11(c) related to Index Fund Shares.\5\ According to
the registration statement,\6\ the Fund seeks investment results that
correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees
and expenses, of the MSCI Denmark IMI 25/50 Index (``Index''). The
Index is sponsored by MSCI, Inc. (``Index Provider''),\7\ which is
independent of the Fund, and BlackRock Fund Advisors is the investment
adviser to the Fund. The Index Provider determines the composition and
relative weightings of the securities in the Index and publishes
information regarding the market value of the Index. The Index is a
custom, free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index
designed to measure the performance of equity securities of companies
whose market capitalization represents the top 85% of companies in the
Danish securities market. The Index consists of stocks traded primarily
on the Danish stock market, NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen. Component companies
include financial, health care, and industrial companies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ An Index Fund Share is a security ``(i) that is issued by an
open-end management investment company based on a portfolio of
stocks or fixed income securities or a combination thereof, that
seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the
price and yield performance or total return performance of a
specified foreign or domestic stock index, fixed income securities
index or combination thereof; (ii) that is issued by such an open-
end management investment company in a specified aggregate minimum
number in return for a deposit of specified numbers of shares of
stock and/or a cash amount, a specified portfolio of fixed income
securities and/or a cash amount and/or a combination of the above,
with a value equal to the next determined net asset value; and (iii)
that, when aggregated in the same specified minimum number, may be
redeemed at a holder's request by such open-end investment company
which will pay to the redeeming holder the stock and/or cash, fixed
income securities and/or cash and/or a combination thereof, with a
value equal to the next determined net asset value.'' See Exchange
Rule 14.11(c).
    \6\ See the Trust's Registration Statement for the Fund on Form
N-1A, dated December 16, 1999 (File Nos. 333-92935 and 811-09729)
(``Registration Statement'').
    \7\ The Index Provider, MSCI, Inc., is not a broker-dealer or
fund advisor. The Exchange notes that pursuant to the Exchange's
rules ``any advisory committee, supervisory board, or similar entity
* * * that makes decisions on the index or portfolio composition,
methodology and related matters, must implement and maintain, or be
subject to, procedures designed to prevent the use and dissemination
of material non-public information regarding the applicable index.''
See Rule 14.11(c)(3)(B)(i) and (iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange is submitting this proposed rule change because the
Index for the Fund does not meet all of the ``generic'' listing
requirements of Exchange Rule 14.11(c) applicable to the listing of
Index Fund Shares based on international or global indexes. The Index
meets all such requirements except for those set forth in Rule
14.11(c)(3)(A)(ii)(b). Specifically, the Index fails to meet the
requirement that component stocks that in the aggregate account for at
least 90% of the weight of the index or portfolio each shall have a
minimum worldwide monthly trading volume during each of the last six
months of at least 250,000 shares. As of January 13, 2012, 83.22% of
the Index weight had at least 250,000 shares traded during each of the
previous six months. Accordingly, the Index only narrowly misses
satisfaction of the monthly trading volume requirement of Rule
14.11(c)(3)(A)(ii)(b). The Exchange notes that other products have
become immediately effective based on

relatively narrow misses that are similar in nature.\8\ The Exchange
also notes that average volumes exceeded 250,000 shares for 90.73% of
the Index weight when volumes are considered as an average over the
past 6 months rather than looking at each of the past 6 months
individually.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See, e.g., Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59471 (March
6, 2009), 74 FR 9862 (February 27, 2009) (SR-NYSEArca-2009-13).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange represents that: (1) The Shares of the Fund currently
satisfy all of the generic listing standards for Index Fund Shares
except for the volume requirement under Rule 14.11(c)(3)(A)(ii)(b), as
described above; (2) the continued listing standards under Exchange
Rule 14.11(c)(9)(B) applicable to Index Fund Shares shall apply to the
Shares; and (3) the Trust is required to comply with Rule 10A-3 under
the Act for the initial and continued listing of the Shares.\9\ In
addition, the Exchange represents that the Shares will comply with all
other requirements applicable to Index Fund Shares including, but not
limited to, requirements relating to the dissemination of key
information such as the Index value and intraday indicative value, the
rules governing the trading of equity securities, trading hours,
trading halts, surveillance,\10\ and the Information Circulars to
members of the Exchange, as set forth in Exchange rules applicable to
exchange traded funds (Index Fund Shares) and in the Commission's order
approving the generic listing rules applicable to the listing and
trading of exchange traded funds (Index Fund Shares).\11\ Detailed
descriptions of the Fund, the Index, the Index Provider, procedures for
creating and redeeming Shares, transaction fees and expenses, risks,
dividends, distributions, taxes, and reports to be distributed to
beneficial owners of the Shares can be found in the Trust's
Registration Statement and/or on the Web site for the Fund (http://www.ishares.com), as applicable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 17 CFR 240.10A-3.
    \10\ The Exchange may obtain information for surveillance
purposes via the Intermarket Surveillance Group (``ISG'') from other
exchanges who are members of ISG. The Exchange notes that the Index
component stocks are listed and traded on NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S,
which is a member of the ISG. For a list of the current members of
ISG, see www.isgportal.org.
    \11\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 65225 (August 30,
2011), 76 FR 55148 (September 6, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The rule change proposed in this submission is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder that
are applicable to a national securities exchange, and, in particular,
with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\12\ Specifically, the
proposed change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \13\
because it is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and
practices, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is designed to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices and is generally
designed to protect investors and the public interest in that the
Shares will be listed and traded on the Exchange pursuant to the
initial and continued listing criteria in Exchange Rule 14.11(c). As
noted above, the Shares of the Fund currently satisfy all of the
generic listing standards for Index Fund Shares except for the volume
requirement under Rule 14.11(c)(3)(A)(ii)(b), which the Index only
narrowly misses. The Exchange also reiterates that the continued
listing standards under Exchange Rule 14.11(c)(9)(B) applicable to
Index Fund Shares shall apply to the Shares, and the Trust is required
to comply with Rule 10A-3 under the Act for the initial and continued
listing of the Shares.\14\ In addition, the Exchange represents that
the Shares will comply with all other requirements applicable to Index
Fund Shares including, but not limited to, requirements relating to the
dissemination of key information such as the Index value and intraday
indicative value, the rules governing the trading of equity securities,
trading hours, trading halts, surveillance, and the Information
Circulars to members of the Exchange, as set forth in Exchange rules
applicable to exchange traded funds (Index Fund Shares) and in the
Commission's order approving the generic listing rules applicable to
the listing and trading of exchange traded funds (Index Fund Shares).
The Exchange has in place surveillance procedures that are adequate to
properly monitor trading in the Shares in all trading sessions and to
deter and detect violations of Exchange rules and applicable federal
securities laws. The Exchange may obtain information via ISG from other
exchanges that are members of ISG or with which the Exchange has
entered into a comprehensive surveillance sharing agreement. The
Exchange notes that the Index component stocks are listed and traded on
NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S, which is a member of the ISG.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 17 CFR 240.10A-3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change is designed to promote just and equitable
principles of trade and to protect investors and the public interest in
that a large amount of information is publicly available regarding the
Fund and the Shares, thereby promoting market transparency. The
Consolidated Tape Association will disseminate real time trade and
quote information for the Shares. In addition, the current Index value
will be widely disseminated by one or more major market data vendors at
least every 60 seconds during the Exchange's regular market session.
Moreover, prior to the commencement of trading, the Exchange will
inform its Members in an Information Circular of the special
characteristics and risks associated with trading the Shares. The
Exchange will halt trading in the Shares in accordance with Exchange
Rules. The grounds for a halt include a halt because the intraday
indicative value of the security and/or the value of its underlying
index are not being disseminated as required, a halt for other
regulatory reasons or due to other conditions or circumstances deemed
to be detrimental to the maintenance of a free and orderly market. In
addition, as noted above, investors will have ready access to
information regarding the Fund, the current Index value, the intraday
indicative value, and quotation and last sale information for the
Shares.
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is designed to
remove impediments to, and perfect the mechanism of, a free and open
market and a national market system in that the listing and trading of
the Fund on the Exchange will enhance competition among market
participants, which the Exchange believes will benefit investors and
the marketplace. The Exchange is commencing a listings business at a
time when there are two dominant primary listing venues, the New York
Stock Exchange and Nasdaq. Because the proposal will allow the Fund to
list and trade on the Exchange, and without the proposal the Fund would
likely be listed on another market, the Exchange believes that the
proposal will provide companies with another option for raising capital
in the public markets, thereby promoting the aforementioned principles
discussed in Section 6(b)(5) of the Act.\15\ In addition, as noted
above, investors will have ready access to information regarding the
Fund's

holdings, the current Index value, the intraday indicative value, and
quotation and last sale information for the Shares.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(B) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change imposes
any burden on competition.

(C) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on
the proposed rule change.

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \16\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\17\
Because the foregoing proposed rule does not (i) significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30
days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate if consistent with the protection of investors
and the public interest, provided that the self-regulatory organization
has given the Commission written notice of its intent to file the
proposed rule change at least five business days prior to the date of
filing of the proposed rule change or such shorter time as designated
by the Commission,\18\ the proposed rule change has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \19\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder.\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \17\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \18\ The Commission notes that the Exchange has satisfied this
requirement.
    \19\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \20\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that the proposed rule change is properly
designated as ``non-controversial'' under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) because the
Index for the Fund fails to meet the requirements set forth in Rule
14.11(c)(3)(A)(ii)(b) by a small amount, and the Shares of the Fund
currently satisfy all of the other applicable generic listing standards
under Rule 14.11(c)(3)(A)(ii) and all other requirements applicable to
Index Fund Shares, as set forth in the Exchange's rules. As described
above, 83.22% of the Fund is comprised of component stocks with over
250,000 shares traded in each of the last six months. The Exchange
represents that the Shares of the Fund currently satisfy all of the
generic listing standards for Index Fund Shares except for the volume
requirement under Rule 14.11(c)(3)(A)(ii)(b), the continued listing
standards under Exchange Rule 14.11(c)(9)(B) applicable to Index Fund
Shares shall apply to the Shares, and the Trust is required to comply
with Rule 10A-3 under the Act \21\ for the initial and continued
listing of the Shares. In addition, the Exchange represents that the
Shares will comply with all other requirements applicable to Index Fund
Shares including, but not limited to, requirements relating to the
dissemination of key information such as the Index value and intraday
indicative value, the rules governing the trading of equity securities,
trading hours, trading halts, surveillance, and the Information
Circulars to members of the Exchange, as set forth in Exchange rules
applicable to Index Fund Shares and in the Commission's order approving
the generic listing rules applicable to the listing and trading of
Index Fund Shares.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ 17 CFR 240.10A-3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally does
not become operative for 30 days after the date of filing. However,
Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \22\ permits the Commission to designate a
shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked that the
Commission waive the 30 day operative delay so that the proposed rule
change may become immediately effective in accordance with Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \23\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\24\ The
Commission believes that waiver of the operative delay is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The
Commission notes that the Index narrowly misses only one component of
the criteria applicable to Index Fund Shares and that the Shares of the
Fund currently satisfy all of the other generic listing standards under
Exchange Rule 14.11(c) and all other requirements applicable to Index
Fund Shares, as set forth in Exchange rules and prior Commission orders
approving the generic listing rules applicable to the listing and
trading of Index Fund Shares. The Commission believes that the listing
and trading of the Shares do not present any novel regulatory issues or
impose any significant burden on competition, and that waiving the 30-
day operative delay would benefit the market and investors by providing
market participants with additional investing choices. For these
reasons, the Commission designates the proposal operative upon
filing.\25\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
    \23\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \24\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \25\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend 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.
