SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-57817; File No. SR-SCCP-2008-01]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Stock Clearing Corporation of
Philadelphia; Notice of Filing of a Proposed Rule Change To Amend and
Restate Its Articles of Incorporation

May 14, 2008.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ notice is hereby given that on April 24, 2008, Stock
Clearing Corporation of Philadelphia (``SCCP'') filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule
change described in Items I, II, and III below, which items have been
prepared primarily by SCCP. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    SCCP proposes to amend its current Articles of Incorporation
(``Articles'') to more clearly state that all of the authorized shares
of common stock of SCCP are issued and outstanding and are held by the
Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc., (``Phlx''), a Delaware corporation.
In addition, SCCP proposes to add language to its Articles relating to
transfers and assignments of SCCP shares of stock. The proposed
language would state that Phlx may not transfer or assign any SCCP
shares, in whole or in part, unless such transfer or assignment is
filed with and approved by the Commission under Section 19 of the Act
and the rules promulgated thereunder. Additionally, SCCP proposes to
restate its Articles to consolidate previous amendments and make other
technical amendments to modernize the existing language in the
Articles.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The specific amendments proposed for SCCP's Articles can be
viewed at http://www.phlx.com/SCCP/sccp_rules/SR-SCCP-2008-01.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    In its filing with the Commission, SCCP 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. SCCP has prepared summaries, set forth in sections (A),
(B), and (C) below, of the most significant aspects of these
statements.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Commission has modified the text of the summaries
prepared by SCCP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to ensure that any
future change in ownership of SCCP stock, whether transferred or
assigned, in whole or in part, would be filed with the Commission under
Section 19 of the Act and the rules promulgated thereunder. This
language is consistent with language recently proposed by the Phlx in
connection with amending its Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws
\4\ as a result of the proposed acquisition of Phlx by The NASDAQ OMX
Group, Inc. (``NASDAQ OMX'').\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ On April 21, 2008, Phlx filed a proposed rule change to
amend its Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws, and rules in
connection with the NASDAQ OMX Merger, as defined in footnote 4
below. Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57703 (April 23, 2008),
73 FR 23293, (April 29, 2008) [File No. SR-Phlx-2008-31].
    \5\ On November 7, 2007, NASDAQ OMX announced that it had
entered into an agreement with Phlx pursuant to which NASDAQ OMX
would acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Phlx. In
connection with this acquisition, Pinnacle Merger Corp., a Delaware
corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of NASDAQ OMX, would be
merged with and into Phlx with Phlx surviving the merger (``NASDAQ
OMX Merger''). As a result of the NASDAQ OMX Merger, all of Phlx's
common stock would be owned by NASDAQ OMX. Thereafter, NASDAQ OMX
would operate Phlx as a wholly-owned subsidiary. Phlx would continue
to be a separate self-regulatory organization.

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

    In addition, the language in the proposed Articles would be amended
to modernize the existing language. Also, previous amendments to the
Articles would be consolidated into the proposed restated Articles for
ease of reference.
    SCCP believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 17A of the Act,\6\ in general, and with Section 17A(b)(3)(A) of
the Act,\7\ in particular, in that it is designed to ensure that SCCP
is so organized and has the capacity to be able to facilitate the
prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of securities
transactions.

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(A).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    SCCP does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition 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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    Within thirty-five days of the date of publication of this notice
in the Federal Register or within such longer period: (i) as the
Commission may designate up to ninety days of such date if it finds
such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so
finding or (ii) as to which the self-regulatory organization consents,
the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve such proposed rule change or
    (B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

[Release No. 34-66412; File No. SR-NYSEAMEX-2012-08]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Amex LLC; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Deleting NYSE Amex
Equities Rule 319, Which Addresses Fidelity Bond Requirements, and
Adopt New Rule Text That Is Substantially Similar to FINRA Rule 4360

February 16, 2012.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that on February 3, 2012, NYSE Amex LLC (the ``Exchange'' or
``NYSE Amex'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to delete NYSE Amex Equities Rule 319, which
addresses fidelity bond requirements, and adopt new rule text that is
substantially similar to FINRA Rule 4360. The text of the proposed rule
change is available at the Exchange, the Commission's Public Reference
Room, and www.nyse.com.

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 self-regulatory organization
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 those 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 delete NYSE Amex Equities Rule 319, which
addresses fidelity bond requirements, and adopt new rule text that is
substantially similar to FINRA Rule 4360.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63961 (February 24,
2011), 76 FR 11542 (March 2, 2011) (SR-FINRA-2010-059). FINRA's rule
change became effective on January 1, 2012. See FINRA Regulatory
Notice 11-21.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background
    On July 30, 2007, FINRA's predecessor, the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. (``NASD''), and NYSE Regulation, Inc.
(``NYSER'') consolidated their member firm regulation operations into a
combined organization, FINRA. Pursuant to Rule 17d-2 under the Act,
NYSE, NYSER and FINRA entered into an agreement (the ``Agreement'') to
reduce regulatory duplication for their members by allocating to FINRA
certain regulatory responsibilities for certain NYSE rules and rule
interpretations (``FINRA Incorporated NYSE Rules''). NYSE Amex LLC
(``NYSE Amex'') became a party to the Agreement effective December 15,
2008.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 56148 (July 26,
2007), 72 FR 42146 (August 1, 2007) (order approving the Agreement);
56147 (July 26, 2007), 72 FR 42166 (August 1, 2007) (SR-NASD-2007-
054) (order approving the incorporation of certain NYSE Rules as
``Common Rules''); and 60409 (July 30, 2009), 74 FR 39353 (August 6,
2009) (order approving the amended and restated Agreement, adding
NYSE Amex LLC as a party). Paragraph 2(b) of the Agreement sets
forth procedures regarding proposed changes by FINRA, NYSE or NYSE
Amex to the substance of any of the Common Rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As part of its effort to reduce regulatory duplication and relieve
firms that are members of FINRA, NYSE and NYSE Amex of conflicting or
unnecessary regulatory burdens, FINRA is now engaged in the process of
reviewing and amending the NASD and FINRA Incorporated NYSE Rules in
order to create a consolidated FINRA rulebook.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ FINRA's rulebook currently has three sets of rules: (1) NASD
Rules, (2) FINRA Incorporated NYSE Rules, and (3) consolidated FINRA
Rules. The FINRA Incorporated NYSE Rules apply only to those members
of FINRA that are also members of the NYSE (``Dual Members''), while
the consolidated FINRA Rules apply to all FINRA members. For more
information about the FINRA rulebook consolidation process, see
FINRA Information Notice, March 12, 2008.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposed Conforming Amendments to NYSE Amex Equities Rules
    The Exchange proposes to delete NYSE Amex Equities Rule 319 and
adopt new NYSE Amex Equities Rule 4360 to conform to the changes
adopted by FINRA for fidelity bonds.\7\ FINRA adopted NASD Rule 3020 as
FINRA Rule 4360, taking into account NYSE Rule 319 and its
Interpretation. FINRA Rule 4360 updates and clarifies fidelity bond
requirements for member firms and better reflects current industry
practices. The Rule requires each FINRA member that is required to join
Securities Investor Protection Corporation to maintain blanket fidelity
bond coverage with specified amounts of coverage based on the member
organization's net capital requirement, with certain exceptions, and to
maintain fidelity bond coverage that provides for per loss coverage
without an aggregate limit of liability.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The purpose of a fidelity bond is to protect a member
organization against certain types of losses, including, but not
limited to, those caused by the malfeasance of its officers and
employees, and the effect of such losses on the member
organization's capital.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Because it covers the same topic as the new FINRA rule, FINRA
deleted FINRA Incorporated NYSE Rule 319 and its Interpretation. In
particular, NYSE Rule 319 and its Interpretation generally require
member organizations to maintain minimum amounts of fidelity bond
coverage for officers and employees, and that such coverage address
losses incurred due to certain specified events. To harmonize the NYSE
Amex Equities Rules with the approved FINRA Rules, the Exchange
correspondingly proposes to delete NYSE Amex Equities Rule 319 and to
adopt proposed NYSE Amex Equities Rule 4360. The text of proposed NYSE
Amex Equities Rule 4360 would be the same as FINRA Rule 4360, except
that the Exchange would substitute the term ``member organization'' for
``member'' and ``Exchange'' for ``FINRA.''

2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act
\8\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) \9\ in
particular, in that it is 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, and to
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market and a national market system. Specifically, the Exchange
believes that the proposed rule change supports the objectives of the
Act by providing greater harmonization between NYSE Amex Equities Rules
and FINRA Rules of similar purpose, resulting in less burdensome and
more efficient regulatory compliance. In particular, all NYSE Amex
member organizations that are subject to NYSE Amex Equities Rule 319
are also subject to FINRA Rule 4360 and harmonizing these two rules
would promote just and equitable principles of trade by requiring a
single standard for fidelity bonds. To the extent the Exchange has
proposed changes that differ from the FINRA version of the Rules, such
changes are technical in nature and do not change the substance of the
proposed NYSE Amex Equities Rules. The Exchange also believes that the
proposed rule change will update and clarify the requirements governing
fidelity bonds, which will promote just and equitable principles of
trade and help to protect investors.

    \9\ 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 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

    No written comments were either solicited or received with respect
to the proposed rule change.

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\11\
Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to
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, the proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \12\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\13\ the Commission
may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal
may become operative immediately upon filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

Electronic Comments

Dear Dr. Voytek:

EPA has completed review of the HAP Task Force comments on the draft ECA agreement and testing protocols for the ethylene dichloride ( EDC) HAP testing program, as presented in the October 30, 2001, submission by the HAP Task Force. This letter focuses on remaining technical points identified during our review of the testing protocols. Overall, the testing program looks acceptable and concurs with discussions and suggestions for improvement made to date. However, there are still several points of clarification and additional changes to the Appendix C protocols that EPA believes are needed before the draft ECA can be finalized. These are detailed below.

Technical agreement on the following point is confirmed, with notation of potential impact at the Tier I Program Review:

° The HAP Task Force would use GSH depletion as a dose metric for GSH conjugate formation, based on the practical argument that it is too difficult and expensive to directly monitor the multitude of GSH conjugate metabolites, or even a " representative" metabolite directly. EPA notes that the HAP Task Force should be aware that not monitoring metabolites may hinder the ability of the model to effectively perform the route to route extrapolations. This point will receive due attention during discussions at the Tier I Program Review stage of the testing program. Additional thought and even a written rationale by the Task Force on this issue would be appreciated.

° Details about the assay for parent compound in the brain tissue needs clarification. At present, the protocols in Appendix C. 1 state only that brain tissue will be collected and frozen for possible subsequent assay. As noted in footnote 9 of Table 1 " model simulations are to provide point and uncertainty estimates for internal dose metrics ( parent chemical peak and AUC) concentrations in blood and brain. The HAP Task Force protocol must specify the assay( s) to be performed on the frozen brain tissues. Also needed is some assurance that any assays done on these frozen tissues will accurately reflect what is present in the non frozen brain at the time of its removal.

° The HAP Task Force Appendix C protocols support development of PK/ MIECH da~ from oral gavage and do not include development of PK/ MECH data to support exposure from ad libitum drinking water. EPA notes that the rationale and data to support using only a gavage PK study for the drinking water exposure extrapolation must be adequately described since the extant studies to be used for Tier II route to route extrapolation include ad libitum drinking water.

° There is a discrepancy in the ECA Table 1, footnote 5 vis a vis Appendix C. 5 as to which model will be refined through the testing done under this ECA   the Table lists Gargas et aL, ( 1989, 1990) and the Appendix cites D'Souza et al. ( 1987, 1988). This discrepancy needs to be resolved and the full referenced titles and citations included in the Appendix. ( Additionally, copies of these references need to be supplied by the Task Force).

Based on the significant progress made to date in developing this ECA, I anticipate that these technical additions and changes to the protocols can be addressed within a 60 day turnaround I look forward to successfully concluding a signed ECA for EDC within the near future. If you have any questions please contact John Schaeffer at ( 202) 564 8173 or Richard Leukroth at ( 202) 564 8167.
