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 April 11, 2007, the International Securities Exchange, LLC (‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘ISE’’) 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 substantially prepared by the Exchange. The Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change on April 23, 2007, and Amendment No. 2 on May 3, 2007. The ISE filed this proposed rule change which establishes dues, fees or other charges among its members pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act 3 and Rule 19b–4(f)(2) 4 thereunder, and, as such, it has become effective upon filing with the Commission.

Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose The purpose of this proposed rule change is to amend the Exchange’s Schedule of Fees to clarify that while the Exchange will continue to rebate back to Equity Electronic Access Members (‘‘EAMs’’) fifty percent (50%) of its market data revenues, it will now do so based on the Allocation Amendment of Regulation NMS enacted under the Act—i.e., allocated by quoting shares and trading shares.5 The Exchange will be retroactively applying this formula to market data revenues rebated back to Equity EAMs as of April 1, 2007. Currently, the ISE rebates back fifty percent (50%) of the market data revenue received by the Exchange to Equity EAMs that are the liquidity providers on trades executed in the displayed market. The Allocation Amendment of Regulation NMS modifies the existing formulas for allocating revenues to the SRO participants, namely, introducing: (1) ‘‘Quoting Shares’’—the allocation of revenues based on the extent to which automated quotations displayed by SROs equal the national best bid or offer in NMS stocks; and (2) implementing a new calculation method for allocating revenue based on ‘‘Trade Shares.’’ Under this new formula fifty percent (50%) of revenues will be allocated for Quoting Shares and fifty percent (50%) will be allocated for Trading Shares. Accordingly, the Exchange seeks to continue to rebate back to the Equity EAMs fifty percent (50%) of market data revenue the Exchange receives, but to allocate rebates based on this new formula—i.e., the ISE will rebate to Equity EAMs, on a symbol basis, fifty percent (50%) of the Trading Share revenue received for that symbol and fifty percent (50%) of the Quoting Share revenue for that symbol. 2. Statutory Basis The basis under the Act for this proposed rule change is the requirement under Section 6(b)(4) 6 that an exchange have an equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges 5 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 53828 (May 18, 2006) (order exempting self-regulatory organizations (‘‘SROs’’) from compliance with the Allocation Amendment until April 1, 2007). 6 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).

Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The proposed rule change does not 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, and does not intend to solicit, comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested parties. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action The foregoing proposed rule change has become effective upon filing with the Commission pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act 7 and Rule 19b– 4(f)(2) thereunder,8 in that the proposed rule change establishes or changes a member due, fee, or other charge imposed by the self-regulatory organization. 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.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The ISE is proposing to amend its Schedule of Fees relating to its 
sharing of market data revenues. The text of the proposed rule change 
is available at the ISE, the Commission's Public Reference Room, and 
https://www.iseoptions.com/legal/proposed_rule_changes.asp.

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.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The purpose of this proposed rule change is to amend the Exchange's 
Schedule of Fees to clarify that while the Exchange will continue to 
rebate back to Equity Electronic Access Members (``EAMs'') fifty 
percent (50%) of its market data revenues, it will now do so based on 
the Allocation Amendment of Regulation NMS enacted under the Act--i.e., 
allocated by quoting shares and trading shares.\5\ The Exchange will be 
retroactively applying this formula to market data revenues rebated 
back to Equity EAMs as of April 1, 2007.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 53828 (May 18, 2006) 
(order exempting self-regulatory organizations (``SROs'') from 
compliance with the Allocation Amendment until April 1, 2007).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently, the ISE rebates back fifty percent (50%) of the market 
data revenue received by the Exchange to Equity EAMs that are the 
liquidity providers on trades executed in the displayed market. The 
Allocation Amendment of Regulation NMS modifies the existing formulas 
for allocating revenues to the SRO participants, namely, introducing: 
(1) ``Quoting Shares''--the allocation of revenues based on the extent 
to which automated quotations displayed by SROs equal the national best 
bid or offer in NMS stocks; and (2) implementing a new calculation 
method for allocating revenue based on ``Trade Shares.'' Under this new 
formula fifty percent (50%) of revenues will be allocated for Quoting 
Shares and fifty percent (50%) will be allocated for Trading Shares. 
Accordingly, the Exchange seeks to continue to rebate back to the 
Equity EAMs fifty percent (50%) of market data revenue the Exchange 
receives, but to allocate rebates based on this new formula--i.e., the 
ISE will rebate to Equity EAMs, on a symbol basis, fifty percent (50%) 
of the Trading Share revenue received for that symbol and fifty percent 
(50%) of the Quoting Share revenue for that symbol.
2. Statutory Basis
    The basis under the Act for this proposed rule change is the 
requirement under Section 6(b)(4) \6\ that an exchange have an 
equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges

among its members and other persons using its facilities.

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The proposed rule change does not 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, and does not intend to solicit, 
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received 
any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested 
parties.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 
Commission Action

    The foregoing proposed rule change has become effective upon filing 
with the Commission pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \7\ 
and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) thereunder,\8\ in that the proposed rule change

the self-regulatory organization. At any time within 60 days of the 
filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily
