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 August 4, 2006, the International Securities Exchange, Inc. (‘‘ISE’’ 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 Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The ISE proposes to adopt rules and amend existing ISE rules to govern its new electronic trading system for equities, the ISE Stock Exchange, LLC (‘‘ISE Stock Exchange’’), which will be an equity exchange facility of the ISE. In addition, the ISE proposes to apply certain of its options rules to the trading of equity securities on the ISE Stock Exchange. The proposed rules address the electronic trading of equities under Regulation NMS under the Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder. The text of the proposed rules is available on the Commission’s Web site at https:// www.sec.gov (under Self-Regulatory Organization Rulemaking and National Market System Plans), on the ISE Web site at https://www.iseoptions.com, at the principal office of the Exchange, and at 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 and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at the 11 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). CFR 240.19b–4. 2 17 PO 00000 Frm 00059 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 46947 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 Background. The Exchange is proposing to adopt a series of rules in connection with its ISE Stock Exchange. The ISE Stock Exchange consists of a new electronic trading system developed to trade equities (‘‘System’’), which will be a facility of the ISE. The System will provide for the electronic execution and display of orders as well as a midpoint matching system. The class of members who will be eligible to trade on the ISE Stock Exchange are electronic access members (‘‘EAMs’’) that the ISE specifically authorizes to trade in the System (‘‘Equity EAMs’’). Orders will be ranked in price-time priority regardless of the identity of the entering Equity EAM. Executions on the ISE Stock Exchange will take place automatically and immediately upon order entry if trading interest is available. The System will provide a routing service for orders when trading interest is not present on the ISE Stock Exchange. The ISE Stock Exchange will not have any market makers, only Equity EAMs who will provide liquidity to the Exchange. The ISE Stock Exchange will be an order-driven marketplace. There will be no market makers that are required to provide quotes. The proposed rules incorporate the trade-through rule of Regulation NMS 3 by requiring that, for any execution to occur on the Exchange during regular trading hours,4 the price must be equal to, or better than, any ‘‘protected quotation’’ within the meaning of Regulation NMS (‘‘Protected Bid or Protected Offer’’), unless an exception to Rule 611 of Regulation NMS is available.5 ISE Stock Exchange proposes to direct to away markets for execution all or a portion of the orders that cannot be executed at the Protected Bid or Protected Offer on the Exchange.6 The Exchange previously filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 19b– 5 under the Act a Form PILOT to 3 17 CFR 242.611. hours of business during which transactions may be made on the ISE Stock Exchange are set forth in proposed ISE Rule 2102 and are referred to herein as ‘‘regular trading hours.’’ 5 See proposed ISE Rule 2107(c). 6 See proposed ISE Rule 2107(d). 4 The E:\FR\FM\15AUN1.SGM 15AUN1

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange, 
Inc.; Order Approving a Proposed Rule Change, and Amendment No. 1 
Thereto, Increasing the Linkage Inbound Principal Order Fee

August 9, 2006.
    On June 5, 2006, the International Securities Exchange, Inc.

the manner described below. On June 29,

[[Page 46947]]

2006, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule 
change.\3\ The proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, 
was published for comment in the Federal Register on July 10, 2006.\4\ 
The Commission received no comments on the proposal. This order 
approves the proposed rule change, as amended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Amendment No. 1 is described in Securities Exchange Act 
Release No. 54074 (June 30, 2006), 71 FR 38917 (July 10, 2006).
    \4\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to amend its Schedule of Fees to increase the 
Linkage Inbound Principal Order fee from $.15 per contract to $.24 per 
contract. This proposed rule change will remain in effect as part of an 
existing pilot program, which is scheduled to expire on July 31, 
2007.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54204 (July 25, 
2006), 71 FR 43548 (August 1, 2006) (SR-ISE-2006-38) (extending the 
expiration date of the pilot program from July 31, 2006 to July 31, 
2007).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission has reviewed carefully the proposed rule change as 
amended and finds that it is consistent with the requirements of the 
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national 
securities exchange.\6\ In particular, the Commission finds that the 
proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\7\ 
which requires that an exchange have an equitable allocation of 
reasonable dues, fees and other charges among its members and other 
persons using its facilities. The Commission notes that the proposed 
fee is similar to the one established by the Philadelphia Stock 
Exchange, Inc. earlier this year.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission notes 
that it has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, 
competition and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 53650 (April 13, 
2006), 71 FR 20430 (April 20, 2006) (SR-Phlx-2006-22) (increasing 
the fee for inbound P Orders sent via the Linkage from $.15 per 
option contract to $.25 per option contract).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the 
Act,\9\ that the proposed rule change (SR-ISE-2006-30) as amended be, 
and hereby is approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

pursuant to delegated authority.\10\
