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 November
29, 2007, the Chicago Board Options
Exchange, Incorporated (‘‘Exchange’’ or
‘‘CBOE’’) 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 the
proposal as a ‘‘non-controversial’’
proposed rule change pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 3 and
Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.4 The
Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule
change from interested persons.

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 those
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 parts of such
statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
CBOE Rule 8.3A, Interpretation and
Policy .01, establishes the upper limit,
i.e., Class Quoting Limit (‘‘CQL’’), on the
number of members that may quote
electronically in a particular product
traded on CBOE’s Hybrid Trading
System or Hybrid 2.0 Platform. CBOE
determined to establish the current
CQLs in 2005 to ensure that it has the
ability to effectively handle all quotes
generated by its members, and because
CBOE does not have systems bandwidth
capacity to support an unlimited
number of electronic quoters in every
class.5 The CQLs that CBOE established
varied from 25 to 40, with the CQL for
all Hybrid Trading Classes being 25, and
the CQLs for products trading on the
Hybrid 2.0 Platform ranging from 25 to
40 depending on the trading volume of
the product in the preceding calendar
quarter.
CBOE now proposes to amend Rule
8.3A, Interpretation and Policy .01, to
increase to fifty the CQL for products
trading on the Hybrid Trading System or
Hybrid 2.0 Platform.6 CBOE does not
believe maintaining the existing CQL
levels is appropriate and necessary, and
represents that it has the systems
bandwidth capacity to support this
increase in the CQLs. Additionally,
CBOE believes that establishing a CQL
level of 50 for products traded on
CBOE’s Hybrid Trading System or
Hybrid 2.0 Platform will alleviate the
operational burden of having to

(March 14, 2005), 70 FR 13217 (March 18, 2005)
(approving SR–CBOE–2004–75).
6 Presently, all products traded on CBOE except
three are traded on the Hybrid 2.0 Platform.

calculate and assign different CQLs each
quarter for products traded on the
Hybrid 2.0 Platform based on revised
trading volume statistics, and
maintaining lists of classes that have
‘‘increased CQLs’’ because the number
of quoters in a product on the last
trading day of the quarter exceeded the
product’s new CQL.
If CBOE’s President previously had
determined to increase the CQL in a
particular product due to exceptional
circumstances in accordance with
Interpretation and Policy .01(c) of Rule
8.3A, then the product will continue to
maintain the increased CQL
notwithstanding this rule change
provided the increased CQL exceeded
50. If the increased CQL was less than
50, then pursuant to this rule change the
product’s CQL would now be set at 50.7
Finally, because paragraph (a)(ii) of
Interpretation .01 of Rule 8.3A is
proposed to be deleted in connection
with this rule change, CBOE proposes to
incorporate the language of paragraph
(a)(ii) in new paragraph (b) of
Interpretation .01 which pertains to the
authority of the President to increase the
CQL in a particular class due to
exceptional circumstances. In that
regard, if the President (or his designee)
later determines to reduce the CQL
upon cessation of the exceptional
circumstances, any reduction must be
undertaken in accordance with the
following procedure. If a member
changes his/her appointment and ceases
quoting electronically in that class after
the President (or his designee) has
determined to decrease the CQL, the
‘‘increased’’ CQL will decrease by one
until such time that the number of
remaining members quoting
electronically in the product equals the
‘‘reduced CQL.’’ From that point
forward, the number of members
quoting electronically in the product
may not exceed the ‘‘reduced CQL.’’
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes the proposed
rule change is consistent with the Act
and the rules and regulations under the
Act applicable to a national securities
exchange and, in particular, the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.8
Specifically, the Exchange believes the
proposed rule change is consistent with
the Section 6(b)(5) Act 9 requirements
7 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56772
(November 8, 2007), 72 FR 64261 (November 15,
2007) (increasing the CQL in fourteen option classes
due to exceptional circumstances). The CQL in
Goldman Sachs Group will continue to be 60,
whereas the CQL in the other option classes will
now be set at 50 pursuant to this rule filing.

Because the foregoing rule does not (i)
significantly affect the protection of
investors or the public interest; (ii)
impose any significant burden on
competition; and (iii) become operative
for 30 days from the date on which it
was filed, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate if consistent
with the protection of investors and the
public interest, provided that the selfregulatory organization has given the
Commission written notice of its intent
to file the proposed rule change at least
five business days prior to the date of
filing of the proposed rule change or
such shorter time as designated by the
Commission,10 the proposed rule
change has become effective pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 11 and
Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.12 At any
time within 60 days of the filing of such
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.
Under Rule 19b–4(f)(6) of the Act,13
the proposal does not become operative
for 30 days after the date of its filing, or
such shorter time as the Commission
may designate if consistent with the
protection of investors and the public
interest. The Exchange represents that

requested that the Commission waive
the 30-day operative date, so that the
proposal may become operative upon
filing, enabling parties currently on the
waitlist to begin quoting an option
without delay. The Commission agrees
and, consistent with the protection of

determined to waive the 30-day
operative date so that the proposal may
become operative upon filing.15

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change
The CBOE proposes to amend CBOE Rule 8.3A pertaining to Class
Quoting Limits. The text of the proposed rule change is available on
the Exchange's Web site (https://www.cboe.org/Legal), at the Exchange's
Office of the Secretary, and at the Commission.
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 those 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 parts of such
statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
CBOE Rule 8.3A, Interpretation and Policy .01, establishes the
upper limit, i.e., Class Quoting Limit (``CQL''), on the number of
members that may quote electronically in a particular product traded on
CBOE's Hybrid Trading System or Hybrid 2.0 Platform. CBOE determined to
establish the current CQLs in 2005 to ensure that it has the ability to
effectively handle all quotes generated by its members, and because
CBOE does not have systems bandwidth capacity to support an unlimited
number of electronic quoters in every class.\5\ The CQLs that CBOE
established varied from 25 to 40, with the CQL for all Hybrid Trading
Classes being 25, and the CQLs for products trading on the Hybrid 2.0
Platform ranging from 25 to 40 depending on the trading volume of the
product in the preceding calendar quarter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 51366 (March 14,
2005), 70 FR 13217 (March 18, 2005) (approving SR-CBOE-2004-75).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CBOE now proposes to amend Rule 8.3A, Interpretation and Policy
.01, to increase to fifty the CQL for products trading on the Hybrid
Trading System or Hybrid 2.0 Platform.\6\ CBOE does not believe
maintaining the existing CQL levels is appropriate and necessary, and
represents that it has the systems bandwidth capacity to support this
increase in the CQLs. Additionally, CBOE believes that establishing a
CQL level of 50 for products traded on CBOE's Hybrid Trading System or
Hybrid 2.0 Platform will alleviate the operational burden of having to
calculate and assign different CQLs each quarter for products traded on
the Hybrid 2.0 Platform based on revised trading volume statistics, and
maintaining lists of classes that have ``increased CQLs'' because the
number of quoters in a product on the last trading day of the quarter
exceeded the product's new CQL.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ Presently, all products traded on CBOE except three are
traded on the Hybrid 2.0 Platform.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If CBOE's President previously had determined to increase the CQL
in a particular product due to exceptional circumstances in accordance
with Interpretation and Policy .01(c) of Rule 8.3A, then the product
will continue to maintain the increased CQL notwithstanding this rule
change provided the increased CQL exceeded 50. If the increased CQL was
less than 50, then pursuant to this rule change the product's CQL would
now be set at 50.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56772 (November 8,
2007), 72 FR 64261 (November 15, 2007) (increasing the CQL in
fourteen option classes due to exceptional circumstances). The CQL
in Goldman Sachs Group will continue to be 60, whereas the CQL in
the other option classes will now be set at 50 pursuant to this rule
filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, because paragraph (a)(ii) of Interpretation .01 of Rule
8.3A is proposed to be deleted in connection with this rule change,
CBOE proposes to incorporate the language of paragraph (a)(ii) in new
paragraph (b) of Interpretation .01 which pertains to the authority of
the President to increase the CQL in a particular class due to
exceptional circumstances. In that regard, if the President (or his
designee) later determines to reduce the CQL upon cessation of the
exceptional circumstances, any reduction must be undertaken in
accordance with the following procedure. If a member changes his/her
appointment and ceases quoting electronically in that class after the
President (or his designee) has determined to decrease the CQL, the
``increased'' CQL will decrease by one until such time that the number
of remaining members quoting electronically in the product equals the
``reduced CQL.'' From that point forward, the number of members quoting
electronically in the product may not exceed the ``reduced CQL.''
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Act and the rules and regulations under the Act applicable to a
national securities exchange and, in particular, the requirements of
Section 6(b) of the Act.\8\ Specifically, the Exchange believes the
proposed rule change is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) Act \9\
requirements
[[Page 71727]]
that the rules of an exchange be designed to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest.

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
Because the foregoing rule does not (i) significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30
days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate if consistent with the protection of investors
and the public interest, provided that the self-regulatory organization
has given the Commission written notice of its intent to file the
proposed rule change at least five business days prior to the date of

by the Commission,\10\ the proposed rule change has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \11\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder.\12\ At any time within 60 days of the filing of such
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.

time as the Commission may designate if consistent with the protection
of investors and the public interest. The Exchange represents that
there currently is a waitlist in some option classes traded on the
Exchange and that the Exchange has not filed a proposed rule change to
increase the CQL in these classes in light of the current filing.\14\
The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day
