I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The CBOE proposes to extend the

‘‘Rule’’), relating to the allocation of
orders represented in open outcry in
equity option classes designated by the
Exchange to be traded on the CBOE
Hybrid Trading System (‘‘Hybrid’’)
through April 30, 2007. No other
changes are being made to the Rule. The
text of the proposed rule change is
available at CBOE, the Commission’s
Public Reference Room, and (https://

publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change
from interested persons.
In its filing with the Commission, the
CBOE 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 those
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 parts of such
statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
In March 2005, the Commission
approved revisions to CBOE Rule 6.45A
related to the introduction of Remote
Market-Makers.6 Among other things,
the Rule, pertaining to the allocation of
orders represented in open outcry in
equity options classes traded on Hybrid,
was amended to clarify that only incrowd market participants would be
eligible to participate in open outcry
trade allocations. In addition, the Rule
was amended to limit the duration of
the Rule until September 14, 2005. The
duration of the Rule was thereafter
extended through January 31, 2007.7 As
19b–4(f)(6)(iii), 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). See
discussion infra Section III.
6 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 51366
(March 14, 2005), 70 FR 13217 (March 18, 2005)
(SR–CBOE–2004–75).
7 See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 52423
(September 14, 2005), 70 FR 55194 (September 20,

December 14, 2005) and 52957 (December 15,

the duration period expires on January
31, 2007, the Exchange proposes to
extend the effectiveness of the Rule
through April 30, 2007.8
2. Statutory Basis
Extension of the duration of the rule
will allow the Exchange to continue to
operate under the existing allocation
parameters for orders represented in
open outcry in Hybrid on an
uninterrupted basis. Accordingly, CBOE
believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with the Act and the rules
and regulations under the Act
applicable to a national securities
exchange and, in particular, the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.9
Specifically, the Exchange believes the
proposed rule change is consistent with
the Section 6(b)(5) 10 requirements that
the rules of an exchange be designed to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts, and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
CBOE 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 neither solicited nor
received comments on the proposal.

duration of the Rule through July 14, 2006), 54164

(extending the duration of the Rule through October

65554 (November 8, 2006) (extending the duration
of the Rule through January 31, 2007).
8 In order to effect proprietary transactions on the
floor of the Exchange, in addition to complying
with the requirements of the Rule, members are also
required to comply with the requirements of
Section 11(a)(1) of the Act, 15 U.S.C. 78k(a)(1), or
qualify for an exemption. Section 11(a)(1) restricts
securities transactions of a member of any national
securities exchange effected on that exchange for (i)
the member’s own account, (ii) the account of a
person associated with the member, or (iii) an
account over which the member or a person
associated with the member exercises discretion,
unless a specific exemption is available. The
Exchange has issued regulatory circulars to
members informing them of the applicability of
these Section 11(a)(1) requirements each time the
duration of the Rule was extended. See CBOE
Regulatory Circulars RG05–103 (November 2, 2005),
RG06–001 (January 3, 2006), RG06–34 (April 7,
2006), RG06–79 (July 31, 2006) and RG06–115
(November 8, 2006). The Exchange represents that
it expects to issue a similar regulatory circular to
members reminding them of the applicability of the
Section 11(a)(1) requirements with respect to the
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Because the foregoing proposed rule
change does not: (1) Significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public
interest; (2) impose any significant
burden on competition; and (3) become
operative for thirty days from the date
on which it was filed, or such shorter
time as the Commission may designate
if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, it has
become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 11 and Rule 19b–
4(f)(6) 12 thereunder.13
A proposed rule change filed under
Commission Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 14
normally does not become operative
prior to thirty days after the date of
filing. The CBOE requests that the
Commission waive the 30-day operative
delay, as specified in Rule 19b–
4(f)(6)(iii), and designate the proposed
rule change to become operative
immediately to allow the Exchange to
continue to operate under the existing
allocation parameters for orders
represented in open outcry in Hybrid on
an uninterrupted basis. The
Commission believes that waiving the
30-day operative delay is consistent
with the protection of investors and the
public interest because such waiver will
allow the CBOE to continue to operate
under the Rule without interruption.
For these reasons, the Commission
designates the proposed rule change as
effective and operative upon filing.15
At any time within 60 days of the
filing of such proposed rule change, the
Commission may summarily abrogate
such rule change if it appears to the
Commission that such action is
necessary or appropriate in the public
interest, for the protection of investors,
or otherwise in the furtherance of the
purposes of the Act.
IV. Solicitation of Comments
Interested persons are invited to
submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing,
including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change
The CBOE proposes to extend the duration of CBOE Rule 6.45A(b) (the
``Rule''), relating to the allocation of orders represented in open
outcry in equity option classes designated by the Exchange to be traded
on the CBOE Hybrid Trading System (``Hybrid'') through April 30, 2007.
No other changes are being made to the Rule. The text of the proposed
rule change is available at CBOE, the Commission's Public Reference
Room, and (https://www.cboe.org/Legal).
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 CBOE 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 those 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 parts of such
statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
In March 2005, the Commission approved revisions to CBOE Rule 6.45A
related to the introduction of Remote Market-Makers.\6\ Among other
things, the Rule, pertaining to the allocation of orders represented in
open outcry in equity options classes traded on Hybrid, was amended to
clarify that only in-crowd market participants would be eligible to
participate in open outcry trade allocations. In addition, the Rule was
amended to limit the duration of the Rule until September 14, 2005. The
duration of the Rule was thereafter extended through January 31,
2007.\7\ As the duration period expires on January 31, 2007, the
Exchange proposes to extend the effectiveness of the Rule through April
30, 2007.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 51366 (March 14,
2005), 70 FR 13217 (March 18, 2005) (SR-CBOE-2004-75).
\7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 52423 (September
14, 2005), 70 FR 55194 (September 20, 2005) (extending the duration
of the Rule through December 14, 2005) and 52957 (December 15,
2005), 70 FR 76085 (December 22, 2005) (extending the Rule through
March 14, 2006), 53524 (March 21, 2006), 71 FR 15235 (March 27,
2006) (extending the duration of the Rule through July 14, 2006),
54164 (July 17, 2006), 71 FR 42143 (July 25, 2006) (extending the
duration of the Rule through October 31, 2006) and 54680 (November
1, 2006), 71 FR 65554 (November 8, 2006) (extending the duration of
the Rule through January 31, 2007).
\8\ In order to effect proprietary transactions on the floor of
the Exchange, in addition to complying with the requirements of the
Rule, members are also required to comply with the requirements of
Section 11(a)(1) of the Act, 15 U.S.C. 78k(a)(1), or qualify for an
exemption. Section 11(a)(1) restricts securities transactions of a
member of any national securities exchange effected on that exchange
for (i) the member's own account, (ii) the account of a person
associated with the member, or (iii) an account over which the
member or a person associated with the member exercises discretion,
unless a specific exemption is available. The Exchange has issued
regulatory circulars to members informing them of the applicability
of these Section 11(a)(1) requirements each time the duration of the
Rule was extended. See CBOE Regulatory Circulars RG05-103 (November
2, 2005), RG06-001 (January 3, 2006), RG06-34 (April 7, 2006), RG06-
79 (July 31, 2006) and RG06-115 (November 8, 2006). The Exchange
represents that it expects to issue a similar regulatory circular to
members reminding them of the applicability of the Section 11(a)(1)
requirements with respect to the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Statutory Basis
Extension of the duration of the rule will allow the Exchange to
continue to operate under the existing allocation parameters for orders
represented in open outcry in Hybrid on an uninterrupted basis.
Accordingly, CBOE believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Act and the rules and regulations under the Act applicable to a
national securities exchange and, in particular, the requirements of
Section 6(b) of the Act.\9\ Specifically, the Exchange believes the
proposed rule change is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) \10\
requirements that the rules of an exchange be designed to promote just
and equitable principles of trade, to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts, and, in general, to protect investors and the public
interest.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
CBOE 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 neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposal.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (1)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (2) impose any significant burden on competition; and (3)
become operative for thirty days from the date on which it was filed,
or such shorter time as the Commission may designate if consistent with
the protection of investors and the public interest, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \11\ and Rule 19b-

\12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
\13\ Pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange has given
the Commission written notice of its intent to file the proposed
rule change, along with a brief description and text of the proposed
rule change, at least five business days prior to the date on which
the Exchange filed the proposed rule change. See 17 CFR 240.19b-
4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A proposed rule change filed under Commission Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \14\
normally does not become operative prior to thirty days after the date
of filing. The CBOE requests that the Commission waive the 30-day
operative delay, as specified in Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii), and designate
the proposed rule change to become operative immediately to allow the
Exchange to continue to operate under the existing allocation
parameters for orders represented in open outcry in Hybrid on an
uninterrupted basis. The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day
operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the
public interest because such waiver will allow the CBOE to continue to
operate under the Rule without interruption. For these reasons, the
Commission designates the proposed rule change as effective and
operative upon filing.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
\15\ For the purposes only of waiving the operative date of this
proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact
on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise
in the furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
