Amendment No. 1 to the proposal.3
Amex has designated the proposed rule
change, as amended, as establishing or
changing a due, fee, or other charge
imposed by the Exchange pursuant to
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.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to amend the
Amex Equity and Exchange Traded
Funds and Trust Issued Receipts Fee
Schedules (the ‘‘Amex Fee Schedules’’)
to extend the suspension of transaction
charges for specialist orders in
connection with the trading of the
Nasdaq-100 Index Tracking Stock
(Symbol: QQQQ) from August 1, 2005
through August 31, 2005. The text of the
proposed rule change, as amended, is
available on Amex’s Web site (https://
www.amex.com), at Amex’s principal
office, and from the Commission’s
Public Reference Room.
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
Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of, and basis for,
the proposed rule change, as amended,
and discussed any comments it received
on the proposed rule change. The text
of these statements may be examined at
the places specified in item IV below.
The Exchange 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 is proposing to extend
the suspension of transaction charges
for specialist orders in the Nasdaq-100
Index Tracking Stock (QQQQ) from
3 In Amendment No. 1, Amex made minor
technical changes to the proposed rule text and
provided further discussion on how the proposal is
consistent with the requirement under Section
6(b)(4) of the Act to provide for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other
charges among its members and issuers and other
persons using its facilities. See 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).

August 1, 2005, through August 31,
2005. The current suspension of
specialist transaction charges in QQQQ
will otherwise terminate on July 31,
2005.6
Specialist orders in QQQQ executed
on the Exchange currently are charged
$0.0037 ($0.37 per 100 shares), capped
at $300 per trade. Effective December 1,
2004, the Nasdaq-100 Index Tracking
Stock (formerly ‘‘QQQ’’) transferred its
listing from Amex to the Nasdaq Stock
Market, Inc. It now trades on Nasdaq
under the symbol QQQQ. After the
transfer, Amex began trading QQQQ on
an unlisted trading privileges basis.
As detailed in a recently filed
proposed rule change (File No. SR–
Amex–2005–077), the Exchange submits
that a suspension of transaction fees for
specialist orders in connection with
QQQQ is consistent with section 6(b)(4)
of the Act.7 Specifically, the Exchange
believes that extending the suspension
of transaction charges for QQQQ
specialist orders is an equitable
allocation of reasonable fees among
Exchange members, issuers, and other
persons using its facilities. The fact that
specialists have greater obligations than
other members and are also subject to
other Exchange fees, in addition to
transaction fees, supports this proposal
to temporarily extend the fee
suspension.
The Exchange notes that specialists
are also subject to a variety of Exchange
fees other than transaction charges, such
as a floor clerk fee, a floor facility fee,
a post fee, and a registration fee.8 In
addition, specialists and other floor
members of the Exchange are subject to
technology and membership fees.9
Certain market participants—such as
customers, non-member broker-dealers,
market-makers, and member brokerdealers—are not subject to the majority
of these fees. In addition, specialist
units, unlike registered traders and
other floor members, must be
sufficiently staffed and provide
adequate technology resources to handle
the volume of orders (especially in
QQQQ) that are sent to the specialist
6 See Amex File No. 2005–077 filed with the
Commission on July 15, 2005.
7 Section 6(b)(4) of the Act states that the rules of
a national securities exchange provide for ‘‘the
equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and
other charges among its members and issuers and
other persons using its facilities.’’
8 The floor clerk, floor facility, post, and
registration fees on an annual basis are $900,
$2,400, $1,000, and $800, respectively.
9 A technology fee of $3,000 per year is assessed
on all specialists and other floor participants at the
Exchange. Annual membership dues of $1,500 must
be paid by all members, while annual membership
fees are payable depending on the type of
membership and circumstances. Non-members are
not subject to these fees.

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 162 / Tuesday, August 23, 2005 / Notices
post at the Exchange. These operational
costs that are incurred by a specialist
further support the Exchange proposal
to extend the suspension of QQQQ
transaction fees on specialist orders.
Specialists have certain obligations
under the Exchange rules, as well as the
Act, that do not exist for other market
participants. For example, a specialist is
required to maintain a fair and orderly
market in his or her assigned securities
pursuant to Amex Rule 170. Other
members of the Exchange, as well as
non-member market participants, do not
have this obligation. As a result, the
Exchange believes that an extension of
the transaction charge fee waiver for
specialist orders in QQQQ is reasonable
and equitable.
The Exchange is amending the Amex
Fee Schedules to indicate that
transaction charges for specialist orders
in connection with QQQQ executed on
the Exchange will be further suspended
from August 1, 2005, through August
31, 2005. The Exchange also submits
that the fee suspension will provide
greater incentive to the specialist to
continue to provide market liquidity,
rendering the Exchange an attractive
venue for market participants to execute
orders.
2. Statutory Basis
Amex believes that the proposed rule
change, as amended, is consistent with
section 6(b) of the Act 10 in general and
furthers the objectives of section 6(b)(4)
of the Act 11 in particular in that it is
intended to assure the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and
other charges among its members and
issuers and other persons using its
facilities.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
Amex believes that the proposed rule
change does not 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

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange is proposing to extend the suspension of transaction
charges for specialist orders in the Nasdaq-100 Index Tracking
Stock[supreg] (QQQQ) from August 1, 2005, through August 31, 2005. The
current suspension of specialist transaction charges in QQQQ will
otherwise terminate on July 31, 2005.\6\

\6\ See Amex File No. 2005-077 filed with the Commission on July
15, 2005.
