specific statement of the issue of law or
fact to be raised or controverted. In
addition, the petitioner/requestor shall
provide a brief explanation of the bases
for the contention and a concise
statement of the alleged facts or expert
opinion which support the contention
and on which the petitioner intends to
rely in proving the contention at the
hearing. The petitioner must also
provide references to those specific
sources and documents of which the
petitioner is aware and on which the
petitioner intends to rely to establish
those facts or expert opinion. The
petition must include sufficient
information to show that a genuine
dispute exists with the applicant on a
material issue of law or fact.1
Contentions shall be limited to matters
within the scope of the amendment
under consideration. The contention
must be one which, if proven, would
entitle the petitioner to relief. A
petitioner/requestor who fails to satisfy
these requirements with respect to at
least one contention will not be
permitted to participate as a party.
Each contention shall be given a
separate numeric or alpha designation

sponsoring petitioner/requestor, the

as the representative with respect to that
contention, or jointly designate with the
sponsoring petitioner/requestor a

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2
notice is hereby given that on February
15, 2006, the American Stock Exchange
LLC (‘‘Amex’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with
the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the
proposed rule change as described in
Items I, II and III below, which Items
have been prepared by the Amex. The
Amex has designated this proposal as
one establishing or changing a due, fee,
or other charge imposed by a selfregulatory organization pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act 3 and
Rule 19–4(f)(2) thereunder,4 which
renders the proposal effective upon

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
Amex included statements concerning
the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any
comments it received on the proposal.
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
In June 2003, the Exchange re-instated
its options marketing fee of $0.40 per
contract on the transactions of
specialists and registered options
traders (‘‘ROTs’’) in equity options.5
Currently, the options marketing fee is
eligible to be assessed on all equity
options transactions (including options
on exchange-traded funds and trust
issued receipts). The Exchange now
proposes to amend the equity options
marketing fee to increase the fee from
the current level of $0.40 to $0.75 per
contract (except for SPDR options,
which will continue to remain subject to
the current fee level of $1.00 per
contract).6 The Exchange also proposes
to revise the equity options marketing
fee by limiting its assessment to
customer orders that are from payment
accepting firms with whom a specialist
has negotiated a payment for order flow
arrangement and that are executed
electronically (i.e., through the
Exchange’s ANTE system).7 The current
equity options marketing fee is assessed
on all executed customer orders
(whether electronically or manually
executed) of payment accepting firms.
This revision further limits the
assessment of the marketing fee to
electronic executions.
The Exchange represents that it has
no role with respect to the negotiations
between specialists and payment
accepting firms. The Exchange states
that it collects and administers the
payment of the fee collected on those
transactions for which the specialist has
