If an order was received by the Hybrid system while this allocation structure was in place, public customer orders would trade first, the Preferred Market-Maker would trade second, the Market Turner would trade third, the DPM (DPM Complex) would trade fourth, if the Preferred Market-Maker was not present at the best price, and any remaining balance would trade using pro-rata. The Exchange believes that adding this flexibility to its matching rules will allow for greater customization, resulting in enhanced service to its customers and users. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with section 6(b) of the Act 3 in general, and furthers the objectives of section 6(b)(5) of the Act 4 in particular, because: (i) The filing allows the Exchange to further customize the Hybrid matching algorithm in connection with customer preference without increasing the participation entitlement percentages applicable to option trading, which serves to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market; and (ii) the filing proposes continued use of a purely objective method for allocating option trades which promotes just and equitable principles of trade. 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 not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES C.

This freeway interchange has emerging pavement and structural needs, safety issues and design deficiencies. The proposed project may require full reconstruction and redesign of the Zoo Interchange as well as interchanges within the project limits of US 45 and Center Street on the north, I–94 at 116th on the west, I–94 and 76th Street on the east and I–894/ US 45 at Union Pacific Railroad south of Greenfield Avenue on the south.

Presidential Determination Concerning Waiver of Section 1083 of 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 With 
Respect to Iraq

SUMMARY: On January 28, 2008, the President issued Presidential 
Determination 2008-9. Presidential Determination 2008-9 waives the 
application of all provisions of section 1083 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (NDAA) with respect to Iraq. 
Section 1083 amends the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, which 
establishes a framework for lawsuits against foreign countries and 
their agencies and instrumentalities under U.S. law. Pursuant to 
section 1083(d)(1) the President may waive any provision of this 
section with respect to Iraq, insofar as that provision may, in the 
President's determination, affect Iraq or any agency or instrumentality 
thereof, if the President determines that the waiver is in the national 
security interest of the United States; the waiver will promote the 
reconstruction of, the consolidation of democracy in, and the relations 
of the United States with, Iraq; and Iraq continues to be a reliable 
ally of the United States and partner in combating acts of 
international terrorism. Pursuant to section 1083(d)(3), a waiver by 
the President under section 1083(d)(1) shall cease to be effective 30 
days after it is made unless the President has notified Congress in 
writing of the basis for the waiver as determined by the President 
under section 1083(d)(1). Presidential Determination 2008-9 directs the 
Department of State to notify Congress of the President's determination 
and waiver and the accompanying memorandum of justification. On 
February 4, 2008, the Department of State transmitted to Congress 
Presidential Determination 2008-9 and the accompanying memorandum of 
justification.
