Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose The Commission previously approved a rule proposal by the Exchange to adopt new listings fees for ETFs and CEFs (collectively ‘‘Funds’’) listed by the PCXE for trading on the Archipelago Exchange, a facility of the PCXE.5 In this rule proposal, the Exchange proposed a non-refundable application processing fee, a one-time original listing fee per Fund issuer or family of Funds, and an annual maintenance fee based on the aggregate total shares outstanding of the Funds listed by the same Fund issuer or family of Funds. The Exchange proposed to implement these fees specific to Funds effective June 21, 2004. The Exchange now seeks to adjust the implementation date of the Funds’ listing fees to April 1, 2005. In February 2005, due to an administrative oversight, the Exchange inadvertently invoiced currently listed Funds for their 2005 annual maintenance fee based on the prior fee schedule. Because the Exchange discovered the error after the Fund issuers had already received the incorrect invoice, the Exchange decided to revise the effective date of implementation rather than withdraw and resubmit corrected invoices. As a result, all listed Funds paid a lower annual maintenance fee than they would otherwise have paid under the new fee schedule. Under these circumstances, the Exchange believes that this adjustment is appropriate as all listed Fund issuers were treated similarly and none were negatively impacted. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with section 6(b) of the Act,6 in general, and furthers the objectives of section 6(b)(4) of the Act,7 in particular, in that it provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its OTP Holders, OTP Firms, ETP Holders, issuers, and other persons using its facilities. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition that is not 5 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 50591 (October 26, 2004), 69 FR 63427 (November 1, 2004) (SR–PCX–2004–63). 6 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). 7 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4). VerDate jul<14>2003 16:08 Apr 15, 2005 Jkt 205001 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 Written comments on the proposed rule change were neither solicited nor received. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act 8 and subparagraph (f)(3) of Rule 19b–4 thereunder,9 because it is concerned solely with the administration of the Exchange. At any time within 60 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.
