Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements Under OMB Review, 45856-45857 [E7-15970]

Download as PDF 45856 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 15, 2007 / Notices may stand independently (‘‘stand-alone equity orders’’). The purpose of this proposal is to assess fees commensurate with the activities of stock execution clerks that handle stand-alone equity orders (i.e. orders that are not contingent on an options transaction). For those stock execution clerks that handle orders that are contingent on an options transaction, i.e. orders that are packaged with an options trade, the Exchange currently assesses charges associated with those contingency orders, such as options floor brokerage assessment and option transaction charges. The Exchange, however, does not assess fees in connection with stand-alone equity orders, which may be handled by a variety of intermediaries and which may be executed on different equity markets. The Exchange believes it is appropriate to charge a fee for stock execution clerks performing this function on the options floor because such clerks and such businesses generally are not subject to fees for doing business from the Exchange’s options floor. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that its proposal to amend its schedule of fees is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act 10 in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act 11 in particular, in that it is an equitable allocation of reasonable fees and other charges among Exchange members. The Exchange believes that it is equitable and reasonable to charge a fee for stock execution clerks that handle stand-alone equity orders because such clerks are generally not subject to Exchange fees for doing business from the Exchange’s options floor. The Exchange believes that the $500.00 monthly fee, which encompasses the $25.00 Trading Floor Personnel Registration Fee, is a reasonable amount to charge stock execution clerks for the ability to perform this service on the options floor. In addition, the monies received as a result of the $500 monthly fee should help raise revenue for the Exchange. ebenthall on PROD1PC69 with NOTICES 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 not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. involves buying or selling the underlying security (generally called ‘‘stock’’ in this proposal).

Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others A written comment was received by the Exchange.12 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 13 and Rule 19b–4(f)(2) thereunder,14 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. 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. Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods: Electronic Comments • Use the Commission’s Internet comment form (https://www.sec.gov/ rules/sro.shtml); or • Send an e-mail to rulecomments@sec.gov. Please include File Number SR–Phlx-2007–48 on the subject line. Paper Comments • Send paper comments in triplicate to Nancy M. Morris, Secretary, Securities and Exchange Commission, 12 A written comment in the form of an e-mail message from Larry Johnson at Wedbush Morgan Securities was sent to Kevin Kennedy (an Exchange employee) on May 29, 2007. In the e-mail message, Mr. Johnson stated, in part, that the $500 fee was ‘‘in no way an impediment for us.’’ This written comment was received in connection with various discussions between Exchange staff and Wedbush, which related in part to what types of activity (including stock execution business) would be allowed on the Exchange’s options floor due to the fact that the Exchange was closing its physical equity trading floor and migrating to XLE, the Exchange’s new equity trading system. The Exchange was addressing this issue, in general, in order to notify former equity floor members who may have been considering establishing some form of operation on the Exchange’s options trading floor and possibly connecting to XLE. 13 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii). 14 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(2).
