NYSE Arca 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 NYSE Arca states that the purpose of this filing is to amend the existing Fee Schedule by eliminating the Marketing Charges associated with options on the S&P 500 Index (SPY). The Exchange also proposes to revise a footnote in the Fee Schedule that references the Penny Pilot program. The Exchange presently assesses a $1.00 per contract Marketing Charge on certain Market Maker transactions in options that overlie the S&P 500 Index (SPY). As per the Fee Schedule, the Exchange does not assess Marketing Charges on issues that trade as part of the Penny Pilot Program (‘‘Pilot’’). On September 28, 2007, options on SPY were included in the Pilot. Therefore, the Exchange will no longer assess a Marketing Fee on SPY options. In addition, in the Transaction Fees section on the Fee Schedule, the Exchanges lists fees that are specific to the Pilot. The original Pilot expired on July 27, 2007 and was extended through September 27, 2007. The Exchange has received approval to once again extend the Pilot, this time until March 27, 2009.5 A footnote referencing the expiration date of the Pilot is included on the Fee Schedule, and has been revised each time the Pilot was extended. The Exchange now proposes to remove the expiration date of the Pilot in the associated footnote and instead reference NYSEArca Rule 6.72.

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

1. Purpose
    NYSE Arca states that the purpose of this filing is to amend the 
existing Fee Schedule by eliminating the Marketing Charges associated 
with options on the S&P 500 Index (SPY). The Exchange also proposes to 
revise a footnote in the Fee Schedule that references the Penny Pilot 
program.
    The Exchange presently assesses a $1.00 per contract Marketing 
Charge on certain Market Maker transactions in options that overlie the 
S&P 500 Index (SPY). As per the Fee Schedule, the Exchange does not 
assess Marketing Charges on issues that trade as part of the Penny 
Pilot Program (``Pilot''). On September 28, 2007, options on SPY were 
included in the Pilot. Therefore, the Exchange will no longer assess a 
Marketing Fee on SPY options.
    In addition, in the Transaction Fees section on the Fee Schedule, 
the Exchanges lists fees that are specific to the Pilot. The original 
Pilot expired on July 27, 2007 and was extended through September 27, 
2007. The Exchange has received approval to once again extend the 
Pilot, this time until March 27, 2009.\5\ A footnote referencing the 
expiration date of the Pilot is included on the Fee Schedule, and has 
been revised each time the Pilot was extended. The Exchange now 
proposes to remove the expiration date of the Pilot in the associated 
footnote and instead reference NYSEArca Rule 6.72. The terms of the 
Pilot, including any expiration date, are contained in Rule 6.72 and 
are revised each time the Pilot is extended.

is designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, 
fees, and other charges among NYSE Arca members.
