COMMISSION
[Release No. 34–51476; File No. SR–Phlx–
2004–75]
Self-Regulatory Organizations;
Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc.;
Order Granting Approval to Proposed
Rule Change Relating to Floor Official
Conflicts of Interest
April 5, 2005.
On November 9, 2004, the
Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc.
(‘‘Phlx’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Section
19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4
thereunder,2 a proposed rule change to
amend Exchange Rule 124, Disputes;
and Option Floor Procedure Advices–
27, Floor Official Rulings—Options
(‘‘OFPA F–27’’), to authorize Exchange
staff 3 to disqualify a Floor Official from
participating in a particular ruling
where it appears that such Floor Official
has a conflict of interest. The proposed
rule change was published for comment
in the Federal Register on March 4,
2005.4 The Commission received no
comments on the proposal.
The proposed rule defines a ‘‘conflict
of interest’’ to exist where a Floor
Official is directly or indirectly
12 17
CFR 200.30–3(a)(12).
U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
2 17 CFR 240.19b–4.
3 ‘‘Exchange staff’’ generally refers to staff of the
Exchange’s Office of Market Surveillance present on
the trading floor. Telephone conversation among
Richard Rudolph, Director and Counsel, Phlx,
Gordon Fuller, Counsel to the Assistant Director,
Division of Market Regulation, Commission and
Geraldine Idrizi, Attorney, Division, Commission

affiliated with a party seeking a Floor
Official ruling; is a participant or is
directly or indirectly affiliated with a
participant in a transaction that is the
subject of a Floor Official ruling; is a
debtor or creditor of a party seeking a
Floor Official ruling; or is an immediate
family member of a party seeking a
Floor Official ruling. The proposal does
not propose to limit the term ‘‘conflict
of interest’’ to these four circumstances
and Exchange staff are authorized to
consider other circumstances, on a caseby-case basis, in determining the
eligibility of a particular Floor Official
to participate in a particular ruling.
The Commission finds that the
proposed rule change is consistent with
the requirements of the Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder
applicable to a national securities
exchange 5 and, in particular, the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act 6
and the rules and regulations
thereunder. The Commission finds
specifically that the proposed rule
change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5)
of the Act,7 in that it is designed to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and
open market and a national market
system, and to protect investors and the
public interest, by providing expressly
in the Exchange’s rules that Exchange
staff are authorized to disqualify a Floor
Official from participating in a
particular ruling where it appears that
such Floor Official has a conflict of
interest. In the Commission’s view, the
proposed rule change would further the
goal of fair and objective decision
making by Floor Officials, because the
Exchange would be able to take the
steps necessary to prevent a Floor
Official from participating in a
particular ruling where it appears that
the Floor Official has a conflict of
interest.
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,8 that the
proposed rule change (SR–Phlx–2004–
75), be, and hereby is, approved.
For the Commission, by the Division of
Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated
authority.9

Deputy Secretary.
