Download as PDF 7996 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. 6 I.e. Nasdaq 100 Trust, Series 1 (also known as QQQ), Standard & Poor’s Depositary Receipts (also known as SPDRs), and Diamonds Exchange Traded Funds (also known as Diamonds). 7 Securities Exchange Act No. 45388 (Feb. 2, 2002), 67 FR 6310 (Feb. 11, 2002) [SR–Phlx–2001– 121]. 8 15 U.S.C. 78q–1(b)(3)(D). VerDate jul<14>2003 12:44 Feb 15, 2005 Jkt 205001 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: Electronic Comments • Use the Commission’s Internet comment form (https://www.sec.gov/ rules/sro.shtml); or • Send an e-mail to rulecomments@sec.gov.
