(3) The Commission shall, within six weeks after the receipt of any proposed amendment under subsection (2), give notice in writing to the recognized self-regulatory organization that it approves or disapproves of the proposed amendment or any part of the proposed amendment, as the case may be. (4) The Commission may, by notice in writing, declare any class of rules of a recognized self-regulatory organization to be a class of rules whose amendments do not require the approval of the Commission under subsection (3), and accordingly, any amendment to the rules of the recognized self-regulatory organization that belongs to that class shall, subject to subsections (5) and (6), have effect notwithstanding that they have not been so approved under subsection (3). (5) Where the Commission is of the opinion that any amendment to the rules of a recognized self-regulatory organization made under subsection (4) does not fall within the class of rules declared by the Commission under that subsection as not requiring its approval, the Commission may, after consultation with the recognized self-regulatory organization, require the recognized self-regulatory organization to submit such amendment for its approval under subsection (3). (6) Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, the Commission may, from time to time, after consultation with the recognized selfregulatory organization, by written notice require the recognized self-regulatory organization to amend or supplement any of its rules in such manner and within such period as may be specified in the notice. (7) A recognized self-regulatory organization which contravenes subsection (2) or which contravenes a requirement made under subsection (5) or a written notice made under subsection (6) commits an offence.
