BILLING CODE 8010-01-P SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION [Release No. 34-54130; File No. SR-NYSEArca-2006-20] Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of Filing of a Proposed Rule Change Relating to Schedule of Fees and Charges July 11, 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 May 17, 2006, NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca” or “Exchange”) 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.

On May 26, 2006, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change. On June 30, 2006, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 2 to the proposed rule change. On July 7, 2006, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 3 to the proposed rule change. 3 The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change, as amended, from interested persons. 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). 2 17 CFR 240.19b-4. 3 *See* Form 19b-4 dated July 7, 2006 (“Amendment No. 3”). Amendment No. 3 replaced the original filing and Amendment Nos. 1 and 2 in their entirety.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The Exchange proposes to amend the Trade Related Charges section of the Schedule of Fees and Charges (“Schedule”). The text of the proposed fee schedule is available on the NYSE Arca's Web site *http://www.archipelago.com* , at the NYSE Arca's Office of the Secretary, 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, as amended.

The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. The NYSE Arca 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 purpose of the proposed rule change, as amended, is to amend the Trade Related Charges section of the Schedule. NYSE Arca proposes to combine two existing fees associated with Linkage Orders. 4 The Exchange also proposes to add additional language to footnotes 4 and 5 of the Trade Related Charges section of the Schedule in order to explain that the existing Broker Dealer Surcharge also applies to Linkage Orders. 4 Linkage Orders are orders that are routed through the Intermarket Linkage System (“Linkage”) as permitted under the Plan for the Purpose of Creating and Operating an Intermarket Option Linkage. *See* Securities Exchange Act Release No. 43086 (July 28, 2000), 65 FR 48023 (August 4, 2000).

Presently orders received via the Linkage, other than Satisfaction Orders, are assessed a $0.21 transaction fee and a $0.05 comparison fee. 5 Since all applicable Linkage Orders are charged both fees in all instances, to simplify the Schedule, the Exchange is proposing combining the fees into one transaction fee of $0.26. While the published rate schedule will appear different than it presently does, this proposed change does not affect the total fee the Exchange assesses for Linkage transactions.

Changes made pursuant to the combining of the transaction fee and the comparison fee makes no substantive change to the Linkage Fee Pilot Program. This proposed change serves only to simplify of the Schedule. 5 These fees are applicable through an Exchange Pilot Program due to expire on July 31, 2006. The Exchange intends to file for a one-year extension of the Pilot Program. NYSE Arca presently assesses a $0.25 per contract fee on Broker Dealer (“BD”) transactions occurring when BD orders are entered and executed electronically.

Under the Linkage Fee Pilot Program, executions on NYSE Arca resulting from Linkage Orders are subject to the same billing treatment as other BD executions. 6 Subsequently, Linkage Orders that are entered and executed electronically are assessed the $0.25 BD Surcharge per contract on those executions. 7 NYSE Arca proposes to add a reference to the BD Surcharge in the existing footnote associated with Linkage Fees. The Exchange also proposes to add similar language to the footnote associated with the BD Surcharge in order to clarify that the surcharge will apply to Linkage Orders.

The additional language in the footnotes associated with the BD Surcharge and Linkage Fees will serve to explain all costs that are associated with sending and executing Linkage Orders on NYSE Arca. 6 *See* Securities Exchange Act Release No. 47786 (May 2, 2003), 68 FR 24779 (May 8, 2003) (order approving Linkage Fee Pilot Program). 7 NYSE Arca acknowledges that it is in discussions with the Commission staff concerning the historical treatment of the BD Surcharge on Linkage Orders. 2.

Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act, 8 in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act, 9 in particular, in that it provides for the equitable allocation of dues, fees and other charges among its members and other persons using its facilities for the purpose of executing Linkage Orders that are routed to the Exchange from other market centers. 8 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). 9 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4). 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. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action Within 35 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 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or

(FAA)is considering a proposal to change a portion of the airport from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to authorize the release 4.105 acres of vacant airport property for an exchange of property between the Cambridge Area Regional Airport Authority and Dunning Investment Company, Ltd. The land was conveyed to the Cambridge Area Regional Airport Authority in Deed Volume 364, page 656 of the Recorder's Office, Guernsey County, Ohio. The land was acquired under FAA Project No. 3-39-0013-0303. There are no impacts to the airport by allowing the airport to dispose of the property.

In exchange, the Cambridge Regional Airport Authority will receive a parcel of land adjacent to Cambridge Municipal Airport. This parcel is necessary to meet design standards for future airport development as indicated on the Airport Layout Plan for Cambridge Municipal Airport. In accordance with section 47107(h) of title 49, United States Code, this notice is required to be published in the **Federal Register** 30 days before modifying the land-use assurance that requires the property to be used for an aeronautical purpose.
