(‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2
notice is hereby given that on December
20, 2007, Chicago Board Options
Exchange, Incorporated (‘‘CBOE’’ or the
‘‘Exchange’’) 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 CBOE. The
Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule
change from interested parties.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to amend its
Options Intermarket Linkage
(‘‘Linkage’’) fees. 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’s Public Reference Room.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission,
CBOE 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 these statements
may be examined at the places specified
in Item IV below. CBOE has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B,
and C below, of the most significant
aspects of such statements.

3 Under the Plan for the Purpose of Creating and
Operating an Options Intermarket Linkage (‘‘Plan’’)
and Exchange Rule 6.80(12), which tracks the
language of the Plan, a ‘‘Linkage Order’’ means an
Immediate or Cancel Order routed through the
Linkage as permitted under the Plan. There are
three types of Linkage Orders: (i) ‘‘P/A Order,’’
which is an order for the principal account of a
specialist (or equivalent entity an another
Participant Exchange that is authorized to represent
Public Customer orders), reflecting the terms of a
related unexecuted Public Customer order for
which the specialist is acting as agent; (ii) ‘‘P
Order,’’ which is an order for the principal account
of an Eligible Market Maker and is not a P/A Order;
and (iii) ‘‘Satisfaction Order,’’ which is an order
sent through the Linkage to notify a member of
another Participant Exchange of a Trade-Through
and to seek satisfaction of the liability arising from
that Trade-Through.

2. Statutory Basis
The proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act 7
in general, and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(4) 8 of the Act 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 purposes of the Act.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants or Others
No written comments were solicited
or received with respect to the proposed
rule change.
1. Purpose
Under the Exchange’s current Fees
Schedule, Principal (‘‘P’’) and Principal
Acting as Agent (‘‘P/A’’) orders 3 are
1 15
charged a transaction fee of $.26 per
contract.4 Satisfaction orders are not
assessed Exchange fees. Linkage fees are
operating under a pilot program
scheduled to expire on July 31, 2008.
The Exchange proposes to increase its
Linkage transaction fee from $.26 per
contract to $.30 per contract. The
proposed fee increase would help the
Exchange partially offset its costs of
crediting Linkage fees and related costs
to Designated Primary Market-Makers
(‘‘DPMs’’) pursuant to the Exchange’s
DPM Linkage Fees Credit Program.5 The
Exchange believes the proposed fee is
reasonable in that it is significantly
lower than Linkage fees currently
charged by certain exchanges.6
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Within 35 days of the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register or within such longer period (i)
as the Commission may designate up to
90 days of such date if it finds such
longer period to be appropriate and
publishes its reasons for so finding or
(ii) as to which the self-regulatory
4 Linkage orders in MNX, NDX, and RUT options
are also charged a $.10 per contract surcharge fee.
See CBOE Fees Schedule, Footnote 14.
5 See CBOE Fees Schedule, Section 21.
6 The Exchange believes NYSEArca, Inc., charges
$.50 per contract on electronically executed Linkage
orders and the Boston Options Exchange charges
$.45 per contract or $.50 per contract for Linkage
orders in classes included in its make or take
pricing structure.

Self-Regulatory Organizations;
Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Order Granting Approval
of a Proposed Rule Change as
Modified by Amendment No. 1 Thereto
Regarding Nullification and
Modification of Transactions Executed
on CBOE Stock Exchange
pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
January 3, 2008.
On June 12, 2007, the Chicago Board
Options Exchange, Incorporated
(‘‘CBOE’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Section
19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4
thereunder,2 a proposed rule change to
make various revisions to CBOE Stock
Exchange (‘‘CBSX’’) Rule 52.4, which
governs the nullification and
modification of transactions executed
on CBSX. On November 8, 2007, the
CBOE submitted Amendment No. 1 to
the proposed rule change. The proposed
rule change, as amended, was published
for comment in the Federal Register on
November 27, 2007.3 The Commission
received no comment letters on the
proposal. This order approves the
proposed rule change as amended.
The Exchange proposes to revise
CBSX Rule 52.4 to: (1) Require a request
for review of a transaction to be made
by only one of the following methods:
telephone; facsimile; or e-mail (in order
to simplify the process for those making
requests); (2) require such a request to
be made within thirty minutes of the
trade in question, or within forty-five
minutes of the trade if that trade
occurred within the first thirty minutes
of trading in the product involved in the
trade (in order to give more time for
requests which, based on the Exchange’s
experience so far, is necessary); (3) give

transactions under the Rule the label of
‘‘designated official,’’ so that they need
not be officers of the Exchange; and (4)
eliminate the requirement that the
notification to the parties to the trade of
the official’s determination be given in
writing and by the official. The
aforementioned changes numbered (1)
and (4) are based on, and conform CBSX
Rule 52.4 to, NYSE Arca Equities Rules
7.10(b) and 7.10(c)(1), respectively.
The Commission finds that the
proposed rule change is consistent with
the requirements of the Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder
applicable to a national securities
exchange 4 and, in particular, the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act 5
and the rules and regulations
thereunder. Specifically, the
Commission finds that the proposal is
consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the
Act,6 in that it is designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade,
serve to remove impediments to and
perfects the mechanism of a free and
open market and a national market
system, and, in general, protect
investors and the public interest.
The Commission believes that the
Exchange’s proposal to revise its CBSX
rule governing clearly erroneous
transactions is appropriate.
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,7 that the
proposed rule change (SR–CBOE–2007–
65), as amended, is hereby approved.

In its filing with the Commission, CBOE 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 these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. CBOE 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, Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
Under the Exchange's current Fees Schedule, Principal (``P'') and
Principal Acting as Agent (``P/A'') orders \3\ are charged a
transaction fee of $.26 per contract.\4\ Satisfaction orders are not
assessed Exchange fees. Linkage fees are operating under a pilot
program scheduled to expire on July 31, 2008.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Under the Plan for the Purpose of Creating and Operating an
Options Intermarket Linkage (``Plan'') and Exchange Rule 6.80(12),
which tracks the language of the Plan, a ``Linkage Order'' means an
Immediate or Cancel Order routed through the Linkage as permitted
under the Plan. There are three types of Linkage Orders: (i) ``P/A
Order,'' which is an order for the principal account of a specialist
(or equivalent entity an another Participant Exchange that is
authorized to represent Public Customer orders), reflecting the
terms of a related unexecuted Public Customer order for which the
specialist is acting as agent; (ii) ``P Order,'' which is an order
for the principal account of an Eligible Market Maker and is not a
P/A Order; and (iii) ``Satisfaction Order,'' which is an order sent
through the Linkage to notify a member of another Participant
Exchange of a Trade-Through and to seek satisfaction of the
liability arising from that Trade-Through.
\4\ Linkage orders in MNX, NDX, and RUT options are also charged
a $.10 per contract surcharge fee. See CBOE Fees Schedule, Footnote
14.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Exchange proposes to increase its Linkage transaction fee from
$.26 per contract to $.30 per contract. The proposed fee increase would
help the Exchange partially offset its costs of crediting Linkage fees
and related costs to Designated Primary Market-Makers (``DPMs'')
pursuant to the Exchange's DPM Linkage Fees Credit Program.\5\ The
Exchange believes the proposed fee is reasonable in that it is
significantly lower than Linkage fees currently charged by certain
exchanges.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See CBOE Fees Schedule, Section 21.
\6\ The Exchange believes NYSEArca, Inc., charges $.50 per
contract on electronically executed Linkage orders and the Boston
Options Exchange charges $.45 per contract or $.50 per contract for
Linkage orders in classes included in its make or take pricing
structure.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Statutory Basis
The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act
\7\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) \8\ of
the Act in particular, in that it is designed to provide for the
equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among
