Correction

    In the December 18, 2014 edition of the Federal Register, the Coast
Guard published a notice titled, ``Guidance on Maritime Cybersecurity
Standards'' (79 FR 75574). In providing background information, the
notice contained the following statement: ``Coast Guard regulations
require certain vessel and facility operators to conduct security
assessments, and to develop security plans that address vulnerabilities
identified by the security assessment.'' Mistakenly, the footnote at
the end of that statement, referencing the applicable regulatory
citations, referred to 33 CFR parts 104 (vessels) and 105 (facilities),
but failed to refer to 33 CFR part 106 (outer continental shelf
facilities). To avoid any confusion that may have resulted from the
inadvertent omission of 33 CFR part 106 from the footnote, we wish to
clarify that we are soliciting comments from all parties interested in
maritime cybersecurity standards, including all parties regulated by
the Coast Guard under 33 CFR chapter I, subchapter H.

Authority

    This notice is issued under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a).

    Dated: December 23, 2014.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-54649; File No. SR-NYSE-2006-88]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of a Proposed
Rule Change Relating to NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 703.16
(Investment Company Units)

 October 24, 2006.
    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
on October 20, 2006, the New York Stock Exchange LLC (``Exchange'' or
``NYSE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice and order to solicit comments on
the proposed rule change from interested persons and to approve the
proposed rule change on an accelerated basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend NYSE Section 703.16(B)(4)(a) of the
NYSE Listed Company Manual (``Manual''). The text of the proposed rule
change is available on NYSE's Web site at (http://www.nyse.com), at the

principal office of NYSE, 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 aspects 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 has adopted listing standards applicable to Investment
Company Units (``ICUs'' or ``Investment Company Units'') that are
consistent with the listing criteria currently used by other national
securities exchanges and trading standards pursuant to which the
Exchange may either list and trade ICUs or trade such ICUs on the
Exchange on an unlisted trading privileges (``UTP'') basis.\3\ An ICU
is defined in Section 703.16 of the Manual as a security that
represents an interest in a registered investment company that could be
organized as a unit investment trust, an open-end management investment
company, or a similar entity. A registered investment company is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ In 1996, the Commission approved Section 703.16 of the
Manual, which sets forth the rules related to the listing of ICUs.
See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 36923 (March 5, 1996), 61 FR
10410 (March 13, 1996) (SR-NYSE-95-23). In 2000, the Commission also
approved the Exchange's generic listing standards for listing and
trading, or the trading pursuant to UTP, of ICUs under Section
703.16 of the Manual and Exchange Rule 1100. See Securities Exchange
Act Release No. 43679 (December 5, 2000), 65 FR 77949 (December 13,
2000) (SR-NYSE-00-46).
    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 80a.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The ``generic'' listing criteria of Section 703.16 of the Manual
permit listing of ICU's that satisfy such criteria in reliance upon
Rule 19b-4(e) under the Act,\5\ without a filing pursuant to Rule 19b-4
under the Act. Section 703.16(B)(4)(a) of the Manual requires, among
other criteria that, if a series of ICUs is listed for trading on the
Exchange in reliance upon Rule 19b-4(e) under the Act, the index
underlying the series must be calculated based on either the market
capitalization, modified market capitalization, price, equal-dollar, or
modified equal-dollar weighting methodology.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the Exchange, the proposed rule change will specify
one additional methodology. The Exchange proposes to amend Section
703.16(B)(4)(a) of the Manual to permit a series of ICUs to be listed
under the generic listing standards pursuant to Rule 19b-4(e) under the
Act,\6\ if the underlying index for such series is weighted based on
any, some or all of the following: Sales, cash flow, book

value and dividends (``fundamentals weighted indexes'').\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Id.
    \7\ In each instance, the index methodology will set forth the
means for calculating sales, cash flow, book value and dividends.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ``Sales'' refers to the total of reported operating revenues less
various adjustments to gross sales, such as returns, discounts,
allowances, excise taxes, insurance charges, sales taxes and value
added taxes. In calculating the sales value, an index provider may opt
to average the company's applicable figures for several prior years
(e.g., five prior years as reflected in the company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K).
    ``Cash Flow'' refers to operating income plus depreciation. For
example, a manufacturer typically reports its operating income as its
net sales plus other operating income minus cost of goods sold and
selling, general and administrative expenses. Depreciation expense for
a manufacturer typically includes the depreciation that is directly
related to or associated with tangible fixed assets and includes
amortization of fixed assets that are part of plant, property and
equipment such as leased assets, leasehold improvements and internal
use software. For example, for a manufacturer, depreciation expense
excludes amortization of intangible assets. For banks, financial
companies and REITs, operating income refers to their total operating
revenue minus total operating expenses. For REITs, depreciation expense
includes depreciation relating to real estate property and includes
corporate fixed asset depreciation if not separated from property
depreciation. In calculating cash flow, an index provider may opt to
average the company's applicable figures for several prior years (e.g.,
five prior years as reflected in the company's Annual Report on Form
10-K).
    ``Book Value'' refers to a company's book value at the index review
date. In accordance with accounting principles, book value generally
means total common equity, which is derived from adding share capital
and additional paid-in capital to retained earnings. In calculating
book value, an index provider may opt to average the company's
applicable figures for several prior years (e.g., five prior years as
reflected in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K).
    ``Dividends'' refers to total dividend distributions, including
both special and regular dividends paid in cash. Generally, the total
dividend amount that is declared to all classes of common shareholders
includes regular cash, as well as special cash dividends, and excludes
returns of capital and in-specie dividends. In calculating dividends,
an index provider may opt to average the company's applicable figures
for several prior years (e.g., five prior years as reflected in the
company's Annual Report on Form 10-K).
    The Exchange believes that the fundamentals weighting methodology
is a transparent methodology that is appropriately included in the ICU
generic listing criteria (which encompass exchange-traded funds) as an
alternative to traditional weighting techniques. According to the
Exchange, fundamental indexing provides an investor with additional
choices in selecting exchange-traded funds whose underlying index
emphasizes financial factors that the investor may believe are
important. The NYSE notes that products based on indexes using this
methodology are already subject to the other requirements of the
generic listing standards pursuant to Rule 19b-4(e) under the Act.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act \9\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \10\ 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 mechanisms of a free and open market and a national market system.
The Exchange believes the proposed rule change should facilitate
listing and trading of ICUs that rely on an index using a fundamentals
weighting methodology and should thereby remove the burdens on issuers
and other market participants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \10\ 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

    Written comments on the proposed rule change were neither solicited
nor received.

III. 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:

you wish to make available publicly. All submissions should refer to
File Number SR-NYSE-2006-88 and should be submitted on or before
November 21, 2006.

IV. Commission's Findings and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of
the Proposed Rule Change

    After careful review, 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.\11\ In particular, the Commission finds that the
proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\12\
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, and to remove impediments to
and perfect the mechanism for a free and open market and a national
market system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public
interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ In approving this rule change, the Commission notes that it
has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency,
competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change amends the Exchange's existing generic
listing standards pursuant to Rule 19b-4(e) under the Act \13\ for ICUs
to provide that an eligible index may be calculated following the
``fundamentals weighted'' or ``fundamental index'' methodology. This
index calculation methodology weights components based on one or more
of the following: sales, cash flow, book value, and dividends.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(e).
    \14\ According to the Exchange, in each instance, the index
methodology will set forth the means of calculating sales, cash
flow, book value, and dividends and thus will be transparent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Including this index calculation methodology in the Exchange's
generic listing standards will provide investors with more investment
choices by offering an alternative to the other index methodologies,
such as capitalization-weighted indexes. The Commission notes that the
indexes that would be based on the fundamentals weighting methodology
will already be subject to the requirements of the generic listing
standards pursuant to Rule 19b-4(e) under the Act,\15\ including
trading volume and liquidity requirements. In addition, by amending its
generic listing standards pursuant to Rule 19b-4(e) under the Act,\16\
the Exchange should reduce the time frame for listing or trading ICUs
that rely on an index utilizing a fundamentals weighting methodology.
The proposed rule change should therefore facilitate the listing or
trading of such securities and thereby reduce the burdens on issuers
and other market participants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(e).
    \16\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has requested accelerated approval of the proposed
rule change. The Commission finds good cause for approving the proposed
rule change prior to the 30th day after the date of publication of the
notice of filing in the Federal Register. The Commission believes the
proposed rule change should provide investors with an alternative to
the current index calculation methodologies. The proposed rule change
is substantially identical to that approved for another exchange.\17\
The Commission does not believe that the proposed rule change raises
any novel regulatory issues. Therefore, the Commission finds good
cause, consistent with Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\18\ to approve the
proposed rule change on an accelerated basis.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54459 (September
15, 2006), 71 FR 55533 (September 22, 2006) (SR-NASDAQ-2006-035).
See also Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54490 (September 22,
2006), 71 FR 58034 (October 2, 2006) (SR-NYSEArca-2006-61).
    \18\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
    \19\ The Commission's approval order is not retroactive in
effect.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

V. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\20\ that the proposed rule change (SR-NYSE-2006-88) is approved on
an accelerated basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
