A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
OneChicago proposes to amend its
current Policies: Block Trades, PreExecution Discussions and Cross Trades
(‘‘Block Trade Policy’’) to change the
minimum contracts needed to enter into
a block trade from 500 to 100; to clarify
that block trades must be executed no
earlier than one-half hour before the
opening and no later than one-half after
the close of the trading session; to
incorporate language from OneChicago
Rule 417; to permit members to report
their block trades in a form and method
approved by the Exchange; to clarify
that a combination of trades may be
necessary to achieve a specific price
differential for an overall trade event
and, for these trades, that information
must be provided to link the related legs
of the block trade event; and other nonsubstantive changes.
Currently, the minimum contract size
for a block trade on OneChicago is 500
contracts. The proposed rule change
would lower the minimum quantity
needed for block trades to 100. The
Exchange believes the proposed
minimum contract size is consistent
with similar requirements in the
securities markets.4 Since an
OneChicago futures contract on a single
stock represents 100 shares of the
underlying stock, the Exchange
represents that the proposed block trade
minimum contract size of 100 contracts
is equivalent to 10,000 shares of the
underlying stock.5
OneChicago also proposes to amend
the Block Trade Policy to clarify the
time in which block trades may be
executed. Under the proposed rule
change, all block trades must be
executed no earlier than one-half hour
before trading in the contract begins on
OneChicago and no later than one-half
hour after trading in the contract ends
on OneChicago. The proposed rule
change would also add language from
OneChicago Rule 417, which requires
that all block trades be reported to the
Exchange without delay after the trades
are executed, and the specific terms
related to the block trades that must be
reported. The Exchange believes that
adding this portion of OneChicago Rule
417 into the Block Trade Policy will

requires a minimum of 10,000 contracts for a block
trade. See NYSE ITS Block Trade Policy. See also

assist OneChicago members and others
reviewing it.
In order to accommodate its members
and provide flexibility in reporting,
OneChicago proposes to add language to
the Block Trade Policy to permit
reporting of block trades in a form and
method approved by the Exchange. This
would permit a variety of methods for
reporting block trades, such as
electronic reporting, reporting by fax, as
well as the current practice of reporting
by telephone. Consistent with this
change, the proposed rule change would
add language to clarify that those
reporting requirements related to calling
the OneChicago Help Desk would only
apply to phoned-in reports.
The proposed rule change would also
add a new footnote to the Block Trade
Policy related to price. The footnote
would acknowledge that in some block
transactions a combination of trades
may be necessary to achieve a specific
price differential for the overall trade
event. The proposed rule change would
also add language requiring the parties
to such a block trade to submit
sufficient information to link related
legs to the block trade event. The
Exchange believes that this information
will be useful for its regulatory oversight
of these transactions.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b) of the Act,6 in general, and
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,7 in particular,
in that it is designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and
practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
OneChicago 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

rule change.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Description of the Proposed Rule
Change
OneChicago proposes to amend its policy regarding block trades. The
text of the proposed rule change is available 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 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.
[[Page 55541]]
A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
OneChicago proposes to amend its current Policies: Block Trades,
Pre-Execution Discussions and Cross Trades (``Block Trade Policy'') to
change the minimum contracts needed to enter into a block trade from
500 to 100; to clarify that block trades must be executed no earlier
than one-half hour before the opening and no later than one-half after
the close of the trading session; to incorporate language from
OneChicago Rule 417; to permit members to report their block trades in
a form and method approved by the Exchange; to clarify that a
combination of trades may be necessary to achieve a specific price
differential for an overall trade event and, for these trades, that
information must be provided to link the related legs of the block
trade event; and other non-substantive changes.
Currently, the minimum contract size for a block trade on
OneChicago is 500 contracts. The proposed rule change would lower the
minimum quantity needed for block trades to 100. The Exchange believes
the proposed minimum contract size is consistent with similar
requirements in the securities markets.\4\ Since an OneChicago futures
contract on a single stock represents 100 shares of the underlying
stock, the Exchange represents that the proposed block trade minimum
contract size of 100 contracts is equivalent to 10,000 shares of the
underlying stock.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ The New York Stock Exchange (``NYSE'') requires a minimum of
10,000 contracts for a block trade. See NYSE ITS Block Trade Policy.
See also Regulation NMS definition of block trade. 17 CFR
242.600(b).
\5\ See OneChicago Rule 905.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
OneChicago also proposes to amend the Block Trade Policy to clarify
the time in which block trades may be executed. Under the proposed rule
change, all block trades must be executed no earlier than one-half hour
before trading in the contract begins on OneChicago and no later than
one-half hour after trading in the contract ends on OneChicago. The
proposed rule change would also add language from OneChicago Rule 417,
which requires that all block trades be reported to the Exchange
without delay after the trades are executed, and the specific terms
related to the block trades that must be reported. The Exchange
believes that adding this portion of OneChicago Rule 417 into the Block
Trade Policy will assist OneChicago members and others reviewing it.
In order to accommodate its members and provide flexibility in
reporting, OneChicago proposes to add language to the Block Trade
Policy to permit reporting of block trades in a form and method
approved by the Exchange. This would permit a variety of methods for
reporting block trades, such as electronic reporting, reporting by fax,
as well as the current practice of reporting by telephone. Consistent
with this change, the proposed rule change would add language to
clarify that those reporting requirements related to calling the
OneChicago Help Desk would only apply to phoned-in reports.
The proposed rule change would also add a new footnote to the Block
Trade Policy related to price. The footnote would acknowledge that in
some block transactions a combination of trades may be necessary to
achieve a specific price differential for the overall trade event. The
proposed rule change would also add language requiring the parties to
such a block trade to submit sufficient information to link related
legs to the block trade event. The Exchange believes that this
information will be useful for its regulatory oversight of these
transactions.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\6\ in general, and Section 6(b)(5) of the
Act,\7\ in particular, in that it is designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest.

\7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
OneChicago 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
The Exchange has not solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The foregoing proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to
Section 19(b)(7) of the Act.\8\ Within 60 days of the date of
effectiveness of the proposed rule change, the Commission, after
consultation with the CFTC, may summarily abrogate the proposed rule
change and require that the proposed rule change be refiled in
accordance with the provisions of Section 19(b)(1) of the Act.\9\
