Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 31 / Wednesday, February 16, 2005 / Notices
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
Under the rule change, the ITS Credit
will be limited to the amount of SCCP’s
Trade Recording Fees, Value Fees, ETF
Fees, and Transaction Charges (Remote
Specialist Only) plus Phlx Permit Fees
and Phlx Outbound ITS Fees 4 that are
incurred in the same month that the
credit is earned. On a monthly basis,
ITS Credits in excess of the amount
charged for all of these fees may not be
used for any other purpose and may not
be carried forward.5 The proposed
amendment was effective for
transactions settling on or after January
3, 2005.
Also under the rule change, SCCP will
rename the fees related to certain
products 6 as ‘‘ETF Fees’’ for ease of
reference.
The purpose of the proposed rule
change is to encourage ITS trades by
allowing equity specialists to get an ITS
Credit but to limit the credit in a
reasonable fashion so as not to
financially burden Phlx, particularly in
light of the change in Phlx’s equity
business. While the ITS Fee and ITS
Credit methodology was practical when
instituted in 2002,7 Phlx’s equity
business has changed so that the ITS
Credit is now substantially greater than
the ITS Fee. As a result, Phlx oftentimes
has to credit substantial amounts to
equity specialists. Phlx is therefore
limiting the amount of the ITS Credit as
described above. The fees to which the
ITS Credit is now limited reflect the
most fundamental fees applicable to
equity specialists.
SCCP believes that the proposed rule
change is consistent with Section
17A(b)(3)(D) of the Act 8 which requires
that the rules of a registered clearing
agency provide for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and
other charges among its participants.
4 Phlx has submitted a companion proposed rule
change to the Commission that adds reference to the
ITS Credit in the Summary of Equity Charges in
Phlx’s schedule of fees. [SR–Phlx–2004–95.]
5 For example, if an equity specialist had a
monthly ITS Credit of $30,000 and monthly Phlx
and SCCP charges that were eligible to be reduced
by the ITS Credit of $5,000 and $20,000,
respectively, the equity specialist would receive a
credit of $25,000, and the unused credit amount of
$5,000 would not be used for any other purpose.

QQQ), Standard & Poor’s Depositary Receipts (also
known as SPDRs), and Diamonds Exchange Traded
Funds (also known as Diamonds).

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
SCCP does not believe that the
proposed rule change will impose any
inappropriate burden on competition.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
SCCP did not solicit or receive any
comments regarding the proposed rule
change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The foregoing rule change took effect
upon filing with the Commission
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the
Act 9 and Rule 19b–4(f)(2) 10 thereunder
because the proposed rule change
changes a due, fee, or other charge
imposed by SCCP. At any time within
sixty days of the filing of such 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.
IV. Solicitation of Comments
Interested persons are invited to
submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing,
including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act.
Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:
