Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 249 / Thursday, December 28, 2006 / Notices
considered to be ‘‘predominantly to
non-professional users’’ so long as the
Eligible Firm’s Market Data distribution
to professional users when compared to
Market Data distribution to all
(professional and non-professional)
users does not exceed 10%.14
To be eligible for the Enterprise
License Fee, an Eligible Firm shall have
to certify to PBOT that it qualifies for
the Enterprise License Fee, including in
regard to distribution to professional
and non-professional users, and shall
need to immediately notify PBOT if it
can no longer certify its qualification.15
In developing the Enterprise License
Fee, PBOT considered inquiries from
actual and potential broker dealer data
recipients regarding the availability of
an Enterprise License for data
transmitted over the MDDN and
considered that certain industry
organizations have offered fee structures
that are available to some but not all
data recipients, similarly to the
Enterprise License Fee.16 The Exchange
believes that the proposed fee of
$10,000 per year or $850 per month is
fair and reasonable and consistent with
industry practice.

2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its
proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)
of the Act17 in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act18
in particular, in that it is designed to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to remove impediments to and
functions were performed for an organization not so
exempt.
14 As an example, if data recipient ABC Corp. has
100 customers that receive PBOT Market Data of
which 10 are professional users and 90 are retail
(non-professional) users the Enterprise License Fee
would be available to the firm because 10
professional users / 100 total users = 10%.
15 A firm that has entered into an agreement with
PBOT to receive Market Data over the MDDN but
is not qualified for the Enterprise License Fee may
pay the device fee and/or the snapshot fee as
appropriate.
16 For example, the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.
(‘‘Nasdaq’’), a self regulatory organization, has fee
schedules that are as much as twenty times higher
for professional or corporate subscribers than for
non-professional subscribers for UTP Level 1 fees,
TotalView fees and Nasdaq MAX fees; and offers a
TotalView Non-Professional Enterprise Fee License
to qualified firms that distribute TotalView to their
non-professional users with whom they have a
professional relationship. The Options Price
Reporting Authority (‘‘OPRA’’), a national market
system, offers an Enterprise Professional Subscriber
Fee to certain professional options data subscribers
(these professional subscribers do not qualify for
the reduced fees charged to nonprofessional
subscribers) that is based on the number of
professional users that the subscribers have instead
of the number of devices. In addition, the Exchange
believes that some industry data vendors offer
different fee structures to qualified data recipients.

perfect the mechanism of a free and
open market and a national market
system, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest, by
providing an alternate fee structure to
market data recipients and thereby
encouraging re-distribution of such data.
The Exchange believes that its proposal,
which is designed to encourage
dissemination of market data, is
likewise consistent with Section 6(b)(4)
of the Act19 in that the proposed rule
change provides for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and
other charges among the Exchange’s
members and issuers and other persons
using its facilities as described herein.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange 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
No written comments were either
solicited or received.

rule change, or

(eligible countries and locales are listed
below in the Purpose section). The

I. Funding Opportunity Description
Authority
Overall grant making authority for
this program is contained in the Mutual
Educational and Cultural Exchange Act
of 1961, Public Law 87–256, as
amended, also known as the FulbrightHays Act. The purpose of the Act is ‘‘to
enable the Government of the United
States to increase mutual understanding
between the people of the United States
and the people of other countries * * *;
to strengthen the ties which unite us
with other nations by demonstrating the
educational and cultural interests,
developments, and achievements of the
people of the United States and other
nations* * *and thus to assist in the
development of friendly, sympathetic
and peaceful relations between the
United States and the other countries of
the world.’’ The funding authority for
the program above is provided through
legislation.
Purpose: The principal objective of
the Near East and South Asia
Undergraduate Exchange Program
(herein referred to as the
‘‘Undergraduate Program’’) is to provide
a substantive exchange experience at a
U.S. college or university to a diverse
group of emerging student leaders from
underrepresented sectors in the Middle
East, North Africa and South Asia. In
this context, the cooperating
organization should ensure that
participants are able to enroll full-time
in courses at U.S. institutions alongside
American peers, and provide the
participants with opportunities to
understand America and Americans
inside and outside the classroom.
Participants will return to their home
countries at the conclusion of the
exchange program to re-enter colleges
and universities there, and re-integrate

with their home societies. It is also an
objective of the program to provide
participants with tailored instruction in
the academic skills and study habits
required to be successful at the
undergraduate level.
The Undergraduate Program will
provide no less than 150 scholarships:
Approximately 40 scholarships for one
academic year and 110 for one semester,
at U.S. institutions of higher education
to outstanding students from non-elite
sectors from the Near East (countries/
locales may include Algeria, Bahrain,
Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon,
Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi
Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab
Emirates, Yemen, West Bank/Gaza) and
South Asia (India, Pakistan, and
Bangladesh). Scholarships will be
granted primarily to students who are
currently enrolled in an undergraduate
degree program in their home country.
Participants may range from those about
to enter university in their home
country to those who have just
completed their undergraduate degree,
and those between these two stages. The
cooperating organization will place onesemester program participants and
academic-year participants in nondegree programs at both U.S. four-year
colleges and universities, and
community colleges.
The cooperating organization should
develop enrichment activities to
enhance the participants’ academic
education, including having students
make local presentations about their
countries, community service, and
internships. All participants are
required to return to their home
countries immediately upon the
conclusion of the program. Transfers of
academic program or visa sponsorship
of participants to another U.S.
institution will not be considered.
ECA will award one cooperative
agreement for this program. Programs
and projects must conform with Bureau
requirements and guidelines outlined in
the Solicitation Package. ECA programs
are subject to the availability of funds.
Programs must comply with J–1 Visa
regulations. Please refer to the
Solicitation Package for further
information.
In a cooperative agreement, the Near
East, South and Central Asia Branch of
the Office of Academic Exchange
Programs in the Bureau of Educational
and Cultural Affairs (ECA/A/E/NEA–
SCA) is substantially involved in
program activities above and beyond
routine grant monitoring. ECA/A/E/
