The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. ebenthall on PRODPC61 with NOTICES I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The Exchange proposes to retroactively apply the fee reduction that was implemented on September 4, 2007 to the time period of July 1, 2007 to August 31, 2007 (‘‘Retroactive Period’’). The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Commission’s Public Reference Room, at the Exchange, and at www.ise.com. 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 1 15 2 17 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). CFR 240.19b–4. VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:02 Oct 19, 2007 Jkt 214001 1. Purpose On September 4, 2007, the Exchange implemented a fee reduction to the Schedule of Fees with respect to Electronic Access Member (‘‘EAM’’) Trading Application Software Fees (‘‘Software Fees’’).3 Consequently, the Software Fees are as follows: • Equity EAMs are charged $250 for each of the first and second connections and $50 for each additional connection thereafter, regardless of whether the Equity EAM is connected via Financial Information eXchange (‘‘FIX’’) or Application Programming Interface (‘‘API’’).4 • Options EAMs that connect via API are charged $250 for each of the first five connections and $100 for each additional connection. • Options EAMs that connect via FIX are charged $250 for each of the first and second connections and $50 for each additional connection thereafter. In this filing, the Exchange proposes to retroactively apply the abovementioned reduced fees during the Retroactive Period. The Exchange believes that retroactive application is appropriate for Equity EAMs because prior to July 1, 2007, Equity EAMs were charged a fee of $250 per month to connect to the ISE Stock Exchange, and fees on second and subsequent connections were waived, regardless of whether the Equity EAM connected via FIX or API.5 The Exchange allowed this waiver to expire on June 30, 2007, at which time the fee to connect to the ISE Stock Exchange, on a monthly basis, became $250 per connection. 3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56379 (September 10, 2007), 72 FR 52591 (September 14, 2007) (SR–ISE–2007–79) (notice of filing and immediate effectiveness of a proposed rule change relating to fee changes). 4 ISE uses an open API, which members program to in order to develop applications that send trading commands and/or queries to and receive broadcasts and/or transactions from the trading system. FIX is an industry-wide messaging standard protocol. 5 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54897 (December 8, 2006), 71 FR 75593 (December 15, 2006) (SR–ISE–2006–76) (notice of filing and immediate effectiveness of a proposed rule change relating to ISE Stock Exchange fees). PO 00000 Frm 00066 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Subsequent to the fee increase, the Exchange analyzed the impact of the fee increase on Equity EAMs and determined that the disparity between the increase in fees and the additional work required to assist the Equity EAMs in maintaining additional lines to the Exchange was not accurately correlated. Accordingly, the Exchange believes it is appropriate to retroactively apply this reduction to the Schedule of Fees. The Exchange believes that retroactive application is appropriate for Options EAMs because originally Options EAMs were charged $250 per month for each of the first five CLICK terminals, and $100 per month for each additional terminal. However, under a now expired pilot program previously adopted by the Exchange, Options EAMs’ fees associated with a second and any subsequent CLICK terminals were waived. As a result, Options EAMs were only charged a $250 per month to connect to the Exchange. Earlier this year, once all existing CLICK terminals were decommissioned, the Exchange submitted a fee filing that, among other things, proposed to remove all references to CLICK terminals from its fee schedule.6 In doing so, and after conducting an internal analysis of the impact of fees to members, the Exchange notes that the CLICK Fee Filing actually raised the connection fees for Options EAMs, contrary to what the Exchange intended. Thus, this filing seeks to remedy the mistake the CLICK Fee Filing has caused during the Retroactive Period by retroactively applying this reduction to the Schedule of Fees during the Retroactive Period. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,7 which requires 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 This proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. 6 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 55960 (June 26, 2007), 72 FR 36531 (July 3, 2007) (SR– ISE–2007–42) (the ‘‘CLICK fee filing’’). 7 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
