Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 58 / Tuesday, March 27, 2007 / Notices
Financial Automation Department 10
describes Auto-Quote as an older system
that would require a large investment to
update it to match existing industry and
vendor functionality. The Exchange
believes that such a large investment
could result in increased fees that might
eventually be passed on to customers,
which is one result that the Exchange
seeks to avoid by eliminating the AutoQuote options pricing functionality
from its options trading systems.
Therefore, because of the limited use
of the Auto-Quote options pricing
functionality on the Exchange, together
with the disproportionate expense the
Exchange would incur to continually
upgrade Auto-Quote to meet industry
needs, the Exchange proposes to
eliminate the Auto-Quote options
pricing functionality from its options
trading systems, and to delete all
references to Auto-Quote from its rules.
The Exchange’s systems will no longer
incorporate the Auto-Quote options
pricing functionality beginning March
19, 2007.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its
proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)
of the Act 11 in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act 12
in particular, in that it is designed 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, by
enabling the Exchange to limit expenses
relating to the under-used and
antiquated Auto-Quote options pricing
functionality.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
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.
10 The Exchange’s Financial Automation
Department is responsible for the design,
development, implementation, testing and
maintenance of the Exchange’s automated trading
systems, surveillance systems, and back office
systems, and for monitoring the quality of
performance and operational readiness of such
systems, in addition to user training and validation
of user technology as it pertains to such users’
interface with the Exchange’s systems.

Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
No written comments were either
solicited or received.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The foregoing proposed rule change
effects a change in an existing orderentry or trading system of a selfregulatory organization that: (1) Does
not significantly affect the protection of
investors or the public interest; (2) does
not impose any significant burden on
competition; and (3) does not have the
effect of limiting the access to or
availability of the system. Therefore, it
has become effective pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) 13 of the Act and
Rule 19b–4(f)(5) 14 thereunder.
At any time within 60 days of the
filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission may summarily abrogate

Commission that such action is
necessary or appropriate in the public
interest, for the protection of investors,

the proposal effective upon filing with
the Commission. 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 Exchange proposes to amend
Phlx Rule 162(b)(2) and (3) regarding
two-sided orders with a delivery of two
days after the day of execution, which
is a non-regular way settlement. The
text of the proposed rule change is

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
Phlx 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 Phlx 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

Change
1. Purpose
The purpose of the proposed rule
change is to modify the method of order
marking for non-regular way two-sided
orders on XLE to conform to the method
used by the National Securities Clearing
Corporation (‘‘NSCC’’). The NSCC treats
equity transactions with a non-regular
settlement condition of two days as a
‘‘Seller’s Option’’ instead of a ‘‘Next
Day’’ transaction.5 Currently, Phlx treats
equity transactions with a non-regular
settlement condition of two days as a
‘‘Next Day’’ transaction.
Effectively, this proposed rule change
does not change the availability or the
attributes of a two-day settlement
transaction (i.e., settlement of the
securities two days after a transaction),
but simply changes the method of order

2. Statutory Basis
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.
Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:
The Exchange believes that its
proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)
of the Act 6 in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act 7
in particular, in that it is designed 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

investors and the public interest.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act.

Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
No written comments were either
solicited or received.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for

is available at Phlx, the Commission’s

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission,
Phlx 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. Phlx 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
The purpose of the proposed rule
change is to amend various Option
Order and Decorum Regulations,
adopted pursuant to Exchange Rule 60,
to ensure the efficient, undisrupted
conduct of business on the Exchange
and provide a trading floor environment
free from conduct that could distract or
interfere with market activity. Further,
the Exchange seeks to delineate specific
guidelines concerning the conduct and
personal appearance of persons on the
trading floor to prohibit any act or
omission, which could interfere with
the personal safety of other persons on
the trading floor.
14321
Additionally, new language is
proposed to address trash, litter and
vandalism on the trading floor. The
Exchange desires to promote a
professional environment and to create
a physical workplace that is free of trash
and litter. The Exchange proposes to
add certain fines for violating the trash,
litter and vandalism Regulations. Also,
the Exchange proposes language to
address vandalism. In an effort to
maintain a businesslike atmosphere, the
abuse, destruction and theft of property
will not be tolerated. Due to the
addition of these sections, the Exchange
proposes changing the title of
Regulation 2 from ‘‘Food, Liquids and
Beverages’’ to ‘‘Food, Liquids and
Beverages, Trash, Litter and Vandalism’’
to reflect the additions to this
Regulation.
Regulation 4
The Exchange proposes adding
language to section (a) of this Regulation
to clarify that the use of profanity is a
violation of this Regulation. While the
use of profanity is currently a violation
of Regulation 4, the Exchange seeks to
further define the scope of prohibited
conduct by specifically indicating that
members, member organizations,
participants, participant organizations
and their associated persons will be
disciplined for the use of profanity.
Regulation 5
The Exchange proposes amending this
Regulation to authorize an Exchange or
Floor Official to permit visitors on the
trading floor. It is more practicable for
Exchange and Floor Officials to
determine whether to permit visitors to
the trading floor instead of requiring a
floor committee to meet and make such
determinations. The decision to permit
visitors on the trading floor is a day-today business function, which is better
served by allowing Exchange and Floor
Officials the authority to make these
decisions.
Regulation 2
Regulation 6
The Exchange no longer has a
cafeteria for members on the premises
and therefore, for purposes of
convenience, the Exchange proposes to
amend Regulation 2 to allow members,
member organizations, participants,
participant organizations and their
associated persons to consume foods,
liquids and beverages while on the
trading floor, provided this does not
unreasonably interfere with the business
of the trading floor. The Exchange
proposes to increase the fines associated
with a violation of this Regulation to
create a deterrent for members who are
not compliant with the new policy.
The Exchange proposes amending its
current dress code to adopt a business
casual dress code and clarify what
business attire is deemed acceptable on
the trading floor. By issuing guidelines
on acceptable apparel while on the
trading floor, the Exchange intends to
encourage all members, member
organizations, participants, participant
organizations and their associated
persons to comply with the dress code
requirements of Regulation 6.6 The

Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change
Relating to Orders With Two-Day Delivery
March 21, 2007.
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 \2\ thereunder, notice is hereby given
that on March 16, 2007, the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Phlx''

Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder,\4\
which renders the proposal effective upon filing with the Commission.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to amend Phlx Rule 162(b)(2) and (3)
regarding two-sided orders with a delivery of two days after the day of
execution, which is a non-regular way settlement. The text of the
proposed rule change is available at the Exchange, on the Exchange's
Web site (https://www.phlx.com/exchange/phlx_rule_fil.html), 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 Phlx 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 Phlx 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
The purpose of the proposed rule change is to modify the method of
order marking for non-regular way two-sided orders on XLE to conform to
the method used by the National Securities Clearing Corporation
(``NSCC''). The NSCC treats equity transactions with a non-regular
settlement condition of two days as a ``Seller's Option'' instead of a
``Next Day'' transaction.\5\ Currently, Phlx treats equity transactions
with a non-regular settlement condition of two days as a ``Next Day''
transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54816 (November 27,
2006), 71 FR 69604 (December 1, 2006) (SR-NSCC-2006-09) (text at
footnote 5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Effectively, this proposed rule change does not change the
availability or the attributes of a two-day settlement transaction
(i.e., settlement of the securities two days after a transaction), but
simply changes the method of order marking on XLE. At this time, Phlx
proposes to change its rules and its specification for XLE to conform
them to this change.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act \6\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act \7\ in particular, in that it is designed 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.

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.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 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 \8\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\9\

requires that a self-regulatory organization submit to 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 of filing of
the proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the
Commission. The Commission notes that the Exchange has satisfied the
pre-filing notice requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
At any time within 60 days of the filing of the 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 furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
