Petrotech Oil and Gas, Inc. (PTOG)

It's a two part process, one the company has to file and obtain approval from the SEC. Once done the SEC puts the completed filing into their Library where market maker researchers look for them.

Two, when a market maker finds an approved application in the library, they consider whether or not it's sufficient to file a 211 with the exchange. If a market maker files to trade, it takes about 3 days for the application to be approved. (Yes, there is a bit more to it than that, but since we're not privvy to the process it makes little sense to discuss exactly "how the sausage is made").
