appropriate in maintaining adequate
trade-to-trade price continuity.
The Commission likewise finds that
the proposed conforming change to
Amex Rule 119, which governs
indications, openings, and reopenings,
is consistent with the Act. As amended,
Amex Rule 119(3)(a)(iii) will provide
that a ‘‘significant order imbalance’’ is
one which results in a reopening at a
price change constituting the greater of
1% or two dollars from the last previous
sale for stocks that trade at $20 or more,
thus limiting the frequency of trading
halts and improving the efficient
handling of orders in very high-priced
stocks on the Exchange floor.
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,9 that the
proposed rule change (SR–Amex-2005–
037) and Amendment No. 1 thereto be,
and hereby is, approved.
designated this proposal as one
establishing or changing a due, fee, or
other charge imposed by the CBOE
under Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act,4
and Rule 19b–4(f)(2) thereunder,5 which
renders the proposal effective upon
filing with the Commission. The
Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule
change, as amended, from interested
persons.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission, the
CBOE included statements concerning
the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any
comments it received on the proposed
rule change. The text of these statements
may be examined at the places specified
E:\FR\FM\14JNN1.SGM
14JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 113 / Tuesday, June 14, 2005 / Notices
in Item IV below. The CBOE has
prepared summaries, set forth in
Sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant aspects of such statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend its
Fees Schedule to reduce public
customer transaction fees and the
license fee assessed to the Designated
Primary Market-Maker (‘‘DPM’’) and
market-makers in options on the RUT.
Specifically, the Exchange proposes to
reduce public customer transaction fees
to $.15 per contract for transactions in
RUT options. Currently, RUT customer
transaction fees are $.45 per contract if
the premium is greater than or equal to
$1 and $.25 per contract if the premium
is less than $1. The Exchange believes
this proposed fee reduction will help
the Exchange compete more effectively
for order flow in the RUT product.
The Exchange also proposes to reduce
from $.40 per contract to $.10 per
contract the license fee that is currently
assessed on all DPM and market-maker
transactions in RUT options (‘‘RUT
License Fee’’). The RUT License Fee is
assessed by the Exchange to help it
recoup the license fees the Exchange
pays to the Frank Russell Company
(‘‘Russell’’) for its license to trade the
RUT product.6 The Exchange recently
renegotiated its license agreement with
Russell. The license fees owed to
Russell have been lowered in
conjunction with the renegotiated
agreement. As a result, the Exchange has
determined to reduce the amount of the
RUT License Fee as well as eliminate
the requirement that the RUT DPM
make up any shortfall between the
proceeds of the RUT License Fee and
the Exchange’s license obligation to
Russell.
The Exchange intends to implement
these fee changes on May 1, 2005.
2. Statutory Basis
The CBOE believes that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act, 7 in general, and furthers
the objectives of Section 6(b)(4)8 of the
Act in particular, in that it is designed
to provide for the equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees, and other charges
among CBOE members.

Jkt 205001
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The CBOE does not believe that the
proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition that is 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.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Because the foregoing rule change
establishes or changes a due, fee, or
other charge imposed by the Exchange,
it has become effective pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 9 and
subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b–4
thereunder.10
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.11
IV. Solicitation of Comments
Interested persons are invited to
submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing,
including whether the proposed rule
change, as amended, is consistent with
the Act. Comments may be submitted by
any of the following methods:
