October 30, 2001.
    On August 21, 2001, the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE'' or 
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a 
proposed rule change to amend NYSE Rule 387 (``COD Orders'')

[[Page 56143]]

in order to clarify the Rule's application to all ``member[s]'' and 
``member organization[s].''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal 
Register on September 25, 2001.\3\ The Commission received no comments 
on the proposal.

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 44811 (September 18, 
2001), 66 FR 49054 (September 25, 2001).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 \4\ and, in 
particular, the requirements of section 6 of the Act \5\ and the rules 
and regulations thereunder. The Commission finds specifically that the 
proposed rule change is consistent with section 6(b)(5) of the Act \6\ 
because, in clarifying the application of Exchange Rule 387 to both 
``member[s]'' and ``member organization[s],'' it is designed to foster 
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, 
clearing, settling and facilitating transactions in securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission notes 
that it has considered its impact on efficiency, competition, and

\7\ that the proposed rule change (File No. SR-NYSE-2001-31) is 
approved.

pursuant to delegated authority. \8\
