Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 51 / Thursday, March 16, 2006 / Notices
proposed rule change (File No. SR–
OCC–2005–22) be and hereby is
approved.
III. Discussion
Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act
provides that the rules of a clearing
agency should be designed to promote
the prompt and accurate clearance and
settlement of securities transactions.
OCC’s rules permitting allocation of
clearing member positions are designed
to ensure that positions are carried in
the appropriate clearing member
account at OCC. The new allocation
service offered under Rule 405 is
designed to improve upon and add
efficiencies to OCC’s existing CMTA
functionality for allocating post-trade
instructions by centralizing and further
automating post-trade allocations.
Although OCC designed the new
allocation system to be an improvement
upon its current system, clearing
members may choose to continue using
the CMTA functionality. Accordingly,
because the proposed rule change is
designed to enhance OCC’s service
offerings and to provide efficiencies to
clearing members, the Commission
finds that the proposed rule change is
designed to promote the prompt and
accurate clearance and settlement of
securities transactions.
wwhite on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES
the convenience of clearing members,
OCC’s system will produce a suggested
average price for grouped allocations
that clearing members may adopt for
purposes of processing the instruction.
Registration of allocation agreements
may be terminated either by mutual
agreement or unilaterally. Mutually
terminated registrations will be effected
immediately in OCC’s system.
Unilaterally terminated registrations
will be terminated in OCC’s system
effective as of 8 a.m. CST the business
day after the termination notice is
received by OCC and the other clearing
member. These are the same standards
currently applied to terminating CMTA
arrangements under OCC Rule 403.
Following termination of registration of
an allocation agreement, an allocated
position may be allocated to a given-up
clearing member only upon its
affirmative acceptance.
March 9, 2006.
IV. Conclusion
On the basis of the foregoing, the
Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and in
particular with the requirements of
Section 17A of the Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder.
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act, that the
allocation system to accommodate the use of such
prices for security options and security futures,
provided that such use does not violate exchange
rules or applicable law.

Self-Regulatory Organizations;
Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc.;
Order Approving Proposed Rule
Change Relating to the Deletion of
Phlx Rule 454
On November 9, 2005, the
Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc.
(‘‘Phlx’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’), filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) a proposed rule change
pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2 to
delete Phlx Rule 454, ‘‘Limitations on
Members’’ Trading Because of Options,
etc.’’ The proposed rule change was
published for comment in the Federal
Register on February 6, 2006.3 The
Commission received no comments
regarding the proposal. This order
approves the proposed rule change.
The Phlx proposes to delete Phlx Rule
454, which prohibits a member, while
on the floor, from initiating the
purchase or sale of a security on the
Exchange for the member’s own account
or a related account if the member or a
related account holds or has granted an
over-the counter option on the security.
The Phlx notes that it adopted Phlx Rule
454 in 1935.4
After careful review, 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 In particular, the
8 17
CFR 200.30–3(a)(12).
U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
2 17 CFR 240.19b–4.
3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 53188
(January 30, 2006), 71 FR 6122.
4 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 13016
(November 29, 1976), 41 FR 53383 (December 6,
1976) (order approving File No. SR–Phlx–76–15)
(amending Phlx Rule 454 to permit a Phlx member
to trade an underlying security on the Phlx if the
member has purchased or sold a listed option on
the underlying security).
5 In approving this proposal, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule’s impact on
1 15
PO 00000

Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,6 which requires,
among other things, that the rules of a
national securities exchange be
designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and
open market and a national market
system and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest. The
Commission believes that the deletion
of Phlx Rule 454 is consistent with
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act because the
Phlx now has in place comprehensive
surveillance and oversight procedures
designed to monitor trading in options
and their underlying securities.
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,7 that the
proposed rule change (SR–Phlx–2005–
70) is approved.

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated

which computer matching involving
Federal agencies could be performed
and adding certain protections for
individuals applying for, and receiving,
Federal benefits. Section 7201 of the
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
1990 (Pub. L. 101–508) further amended
the Privacy Act regarding protections for
such individuals. The Privacy Act, as
amended, regulates the use of computer
matching by Federal agencies when
records in a system of records are
matched with other Federal, State, or

It requires Federal agencies involved
in computer matching programs to:
