IV. Commission’s Findings and Order
Granting Accelerated Approval of
Proposed Rule Change
After careful consideration, the
Commission finds that the Exchange’s
proposal to retroactively extend the
Options Size Mitigation from March 6,
2007 to March 5, 2008 is consistent with
the requirements of the Section 6 of the
Act 10 and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to a national
securities exchange.11 In particular, the
Commission believes that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section
6(b)(5) of the Act, which requires,
among other things, that the rules of a
national securities exchange be
designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in
regulating, clearing, settling, processing
information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities, 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.12
The Commission believes that the
Options Size Mitigation should
10 15
U.S.C. 78f.
11 In approving this proposed rule change, the
Commission has considered its impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See
15 U.S.C. 78c(f).

continue uninterrupted to enhance the
Amex’s ability to process an increasing
volume of incoming options quotes
during high option quote volume
periods and peaks. The Commission
notes that Options Size Mitigation has
operated on a pilot basis and the Amex
believes it is functioning as intended.
The Amex has requested that the
Commission find good cause for
approving the proposed rule change
prior to the thirtieth day after
publication of the notice thereof in the
Federal Register. The Commission
believes that granting accelerated
approval of the proposal will allow the
Amex to continue to operate the
Options Size Mitigation program and
thus, should facilitate the processing of
incoming options quotes. The
Commission notes that no comments
were received in connection with the
approval of the Pilot Program and no
comments have been received during
the operation of the Pilot Program.
Accordingly, the Commission finds
good cause, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)
of the Act,13 for approving the proposed
rule change prior to the thirtieth day
after publication of the notice thereof in
the Federal Register.
V. Conclusion
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,14 that the
proposed rule change, as amended (SR–
Amex–2007–40), is hereby approved on
an accelerated basis for a period to
expire on March 5, 2008.
For the Commission, by the Division of
Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated
authority.15

Deputy Secretary.

2. Statutory Basis
The proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,9
in general, and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,10 in
particular, in that it is designed to
provide for the equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees, and other charges
among CBOE members and other
persons using its facilities.
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
1. Purpose
The Exchange recently received
approval to list and trade CDBOs, which
are cash-settled call options based on
the occurrence of a Credit Event in one,
some, or all of the Basket Components.5
1 15
The purpose of this rule change is to
establish transaction fees for CDBOs.
The transaction fees shall be $0.20 per
contract for Market-Makers, Designated
Primary Market-Makers, and Remote
Market-Makers; $0.20 per contract for
member firm proprietary transactions;
$0.25 per contract for manually
executed broker-dealer transactions;
$0.45 per contract for electronically
executed broker-dealer transactions (i.e.,
executions of broker-dealer orders that
are automatically executed on the CBOE
Hybrid Trading System);6 and $0.85 per
contract for public customer
transactions. In addition, the Exchange’s
Liquidity Provider Sliding Scale7 shall
apply to transaction fees in CDBOs, but
the Exchange’s Marketing Fee8 shall not
apply. The Exchange believes the rule
change will further the Exchange’s goal
of introducing new products to the
marketplace that are competitively
priced.
Because the foregoing proposed rule
change establishes or changes a due, fee,
or other charge imposed by the
Exchange, it has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the
6 Broker-dealer manual and electronic transaction
fees will apply to executed broker-dealer orders
(orders with ‘‘B’’ origin code), non-member marketmaker orders (orders with ‘‘N’’ origin code), and
orders from specialists in the underlying security
(orders with ‘‘Y’’ origin code).

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2
notice is hereby given that on August
23, 2007, the International Securities
Exchange, LLC (‘‘ISE’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’)
filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
The purpose of this proposed rule
change is to lower the Exchange’s nonISE market maker (‘‘FARMM’’) fees for
certain orders. The Exchange currently
charges $0.37 per contract, plus a $0.03
per contract comparison fee, for
FARMM orders.5 FARMM orders are
orders that are sent to the Exchange by
an Electronic Access Member on behalf
of a non–ISE market maker. In order to
encourage FARMMs to provide liquidity
in the Exchange’s Facilitation and
Solicitation Mechanisms, we propose to
charge a discounted transaction fee of
$0.16 per contract for FARMM orders
entered in the Facilitation and
Solicitation Mechanisms, plus a $0.03
per contract comparison fee, for such
orders. All other FARMM orders will
continue to be charged the standard fee
of $0.37 per contract, plus a comparison
fee of $0.03 per contract.
2. Statutory Basis
The basis under the Act for this
proposed rule change is the requirement
under Section 6(b)(4) 6 of the Act that an
exchange have an equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees and other charges
among its members and other persons
using its facilities.
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
