COMMISSION
[Release No. 34–54220; File No. SR–NYSE–

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New
York Stock Exchange LLC; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of
Proposed Rule Change by New York
Stock Exchange LLC Relating to
Amendments to Exchange Rule 629—
Schedule of Fees
July 26, 2006.
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) 1 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
‘‘Act’’) 2 and Rule 19b–4 3 thereunder,
notice is hereby given that on July 21,
2006, New York Stock Exchange LLC
(‘‘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 NYSE. NYSE
has filed the proposal as a ‘‘non-
controversial’’ proposed rule change
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 4 of the
Act, and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 5 thereunder,
which renders the proposal as effective
immediately upon filing. 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
NYSE is proposing an amendment to
required for customer counterclaims,

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
NYSE included statements concerning
the purpose of and basis for the
proposed rule change. The text of these
statements may be examined at the
places specified in Item IV below.
The NYSE 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
NYSE Rule 629 (‘‘Rule 629’’) sets forth
the schedules of fees for hearing
deposits required by the parties when
filing claims, counterclaims, third party
claims and cross-claims. The hearing
deposits differ for customer and
industry claimants.
NYSE proposes to amend Rule 629 to
clarify that the hearing deposits
required of customers who file
counterclaims, third party claims and
cross-claims [in an industry initiated
dispute] are the same as the hearing
deposits for matters in which a
customer is the claimant.
2. Statutory Basis
NYSE believes the proposed changes
are consistent with Section 6(b)(4) 6 of
the Act, which requires that an
exchange have rules that provide for the
equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees, and other charges among its
members and other persons using its
facilities.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The NYSE 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
The NYSE has neither solicited nor
received written comments on the
proposed rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Because the foregoing proposed rule
change does not: (i) Significantly affect
6 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
01AUN1
 43554 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 147 / Tuesday, August 1, 2006 / Notices
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, the
proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) 7 of the Act and Rule 19b–
4(f)(6) 8 thereunder.
At any time within 60 days of the
filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission may summarily abrogate
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.
NYSE has requested that the
Commission waive the 30-day operative
delay contained in Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) 9
under the Act based upon a
representation that the proposed rule
change accurately reflects the fees
imposed pursuant to Rule 629 and will
provide further clarification regarding
hearing deposits required for customers
filing counterclaims, third party claims
and cross-claims in industry initiated
disputes. In light of the foregoing, the
Commission believes such waiver is
consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest.
Accordingly, the Commission
designates the proposal to be effective
and operative upon filing with the
Commission.10
IV. Solicitation of Comments

submit written data, views and
arguments concerning the foregoing,
including whether the proposed rule
change, as amended, is consistent with
the Act. Comments may be submitted by
