and time of this potential meeting has
not yet been determined.
Public Comments: It is the policy of
the PCAST to accept written public
comments of any length, and to
accommodate oral public comments
whenever possible. The PCAST expects
that public statements presented at its

2010 at a time specified in the meeting
agenda posted on the PCAST Web site
at https://whitehouse.gov/ostp/pcast.

selected to present oral comments may
always file written comments with the
committee. Speakers are requested to
bring at least 25 copies of their oral
comments for distribution to the PCAST
members.

Exchange’s Office of the Secretary, at

Jkt 220001
CBSX proposes to amend its Fees
Schedule to increase the Maker rebate
for transactions in securities priced less
than $1 to 0.25% of the dollar value of
the transaction. This increase would
serve to attract trading activity to CBSX
and match the rebate offered by other
stock exchanges, including NASDAQ
OMX BX.3
The Exchange believes the proposed
rule change is consistent with the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
‘‘Act’’) 4 and the rules and regulations
thereunder and, in particular, the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.5
Specifically, the Exchange believes the
proposed rule change is consistent with
the Section 6(b)(5) 6 requirements that
the rules of an exchange be designed to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts, to remove
impediments to and to perfect the
mechanism for a free and open market
and a national market system, and, in
general, to protect investors and the
public interest. Specifically, increasing
the Maker rebate encourages investment
and trading activity.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
CBOE does not believe that the
proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition 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
No written comments were solicited
or received with respect to the proposed
rule change.

establishing or changing a due, fee, or
other charge, thereby qualifying for
effectiveness on filing pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) 7 of the Act and
subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b–4 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.
