some of this risk should be alleviated or
eliminated for the non-market maker
party by allowing the transaction to be
adjusted rather than busted.
The Exchange believes that the
availability of the pre-determined
adjustment increments should provide
non-market maker parties with added
assurances that, in the case of an
obviously erroneous transaction and at
their election, the transaction will be
adjusted rather than automatical busted,
as provided in the current Rule. While
this should provide an added protective
feature for non-market makers, it should
not expose market makers to any
additional risk or decrease the
protections that they are already
afforded in the BOX Rules. A market
maker’s transaction already has these
pre-determined adjustment increments
applied to their trades with other market
makers. Thus, this proposal would
merely extend the application of the
pre-determined adjustment increments
to another party that a market maker
could trade with via the BOX Trading
Host.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the
proposed amendment to the BOX Rules
would result in greater flexibility in
determining the outcome of erroneous
transactions within the BOX Trading
Host. Accordingly, the Exchange
believes that the proposed rule change
is consistent with Section 6(b) of the
Act,7 in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,8
in particular, in that it is designed to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and
open market and a national market
system, and, in general, protect
investors and the public interest.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange 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.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The BSE proposes to amend Section
4 (Appointment of Market Makers) of
Chapter VI of the Rules of the Boston
Options Exchange (‘‘BOX’’) to substitute
the term ‘‘issue’’ for ‘‘class.’’ The text of
the proposed rule change is available on
the Exchange’s Web site https://
www.bostonstock.com, at the principal
office of the Exchange, 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, the
BSE 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. The BSE has prepared
summaries, set forth in Sections A, B,
and C below, of the most significant
aspects of such statements.
rmajette on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange is proposing to amend
the BOX Rules applicable to the
appointment of Market Makers on BOX.
The Exchange is proposing to replace
the term ‘‘issue’’ in Section 4(f) of
Chapter VI of the BOX Rules with the
term ‘‘class.’’ As the BOX Rules
currently read, this is the only instance
in which the term ‘‘issue’’ is used as a
noun to convey this particular meaning.
The proposed rule change substitutes
the use of the term ‘‘class’’ and its
meaning with one that is more
consistent with the terms used
throughout the BOX Rules.
The BOX Rules define the term ‘‘class
of options’’ to mean all options
contracts of the same type and style
covering the same underlying security.
This is the precise meaning that this
instance of the term ‘‘issue’’ is meant to
convey. The terms ‘‘class of options’’
and ‘‘option class’’ are also used
throughout the BOX Rules to convey
this same meaning. This current use of
the term ‘‘issue’’ is unclear and
inconsistent with references used
throughout the BOX Rules.
Therefore, the removal of the term
‘‘issue’’ and replacement with the term
‘‘class’’ in its place will create greater
consistency within the BOX Rules. Such
a substitution will also clarify the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:33 Feb 29, 2008
Jkt 214001
intended meaning of this particular
subsection of the BOX Rules by using a
term with an accepted definition that
more closely conforms to the concept
being discussed.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with
the objectives of Section 6 of the Act,5
in general, and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(5),6 in particular, in that it
is designed to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts, to
remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market
and a national market system and, in
general, to protect investors and the
public interest.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The proposed rule change does not
impose any 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 has not solicited, and
does not intend to solicit, comments on
this proposed rule change. The
Exchange has not received any
unsolicited written comments from
members or other interested parties.
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, it has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the
Act and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.7
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

a brief description and text of the proposed rule
change, at least five business days prior to the date

Notice of Availability of the Record of
Decision and National Interest
Determination and the Programmatic
Agreement for the Proposed
TransCanada Keystone Pipeline
Project
Summary: This notice announces the
availability of the Record of Decision
and National Interest Determination and
the Programmatic Agreement for the
Proposed TransCanada Keystone
Pipeline Project.
On April 19, 2006, TransCanada
Keystone Pipeline, LP (‘‘Keystone’’)
filed an application with the
Department of State for a Presidential
permit for the construction, connection,
operation, or maintenance of facilities at
the border of the United States and
Canada for the transport of crude oil
between the United States and Canada
across the international boundary.
Executive Order 13337 of April 30,
2004, as amended, delegates to the
Secretary of State the President’s
authority to receive applications for
permits for the construction,
connection, operation, or maintenance
of facilities, including pipelines, for the
exportation or importation of petroleum,
petroleum products, coal, or other fuels
at the border of the United States and to
issue or deny such Presidential Permits
upon a national interest determination.
The Executive Order directs the
Secretary of State to refer the
application and pertinent information
to, and to request the views of, the
heads of certain agencies before issuing
a Permit and authorizes the Secretary to
consult with other interested federal
and state officials, as appropriate. The
functions assigned to the Secretary have
been further delegated within the
Department of State to, inter alia, the
Deputy Secretary of State and the Under
Secretary of State for Economic, Energy,
and Business Affairs.

Procedural Provisions of NEPA, 40 CFR
parts 1500–1508, and the Department’s
regulations for the implementation of
NEPA, 22 CFR part 161, an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the issuance of a Presidential Permit
for the construction, connection,
operation, and maintenance of the
pipeline was prepared by Entrix, Inc., a
contractor selected by the Department of
State.
The Department of State published in
the Federal Register a Notification of
Receipt of the Keystone Application for
a permit on August 8, 2006 (71 Fed. Reg.
47861). That notification solicited
public comment on the application for
a 30-day period. Thereafter, the
Department published in the Federal
Register a Notification of Intent to
Prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement on October 11, 2006 (71 FR
59849). The Department’s Notice of
Availability of the Draft EIS and request
for public comment was published in
the Federal Register on August 9, 2007
(72 FR 44908–02), seeking comments by
September 24, 2007. The Department
received public comments in response
to its notice and has taken them into
account in making its determination on
the Keystone application.
As required by Executive Order
13337, the Keystone pipeline
application and a Draft Environmental
Impact Statement were transmitted to
federal agencies for their review and
comment on August 6, 2007. The
Department of State received no
objections from federal agencies
regarding the issuance of a permit. The
Department published a notice of the
availability of the Final Environmental
Impact Statement in the Federal
Register on January 11, 2008 (73 FR
2027).
Concurrently, the Department took
steps to comply with its obligations
under Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act. On February
15, 2008, Deputy Secretary of State John
D. Negroponte signed a Programmatic
Agreement with the Advisory Council
on Historic Preservation (ACHP), the
applicant, all seven state historic
preservation officials, and consulting
federal agencies. Native American tribes
were also invited to sign as concurring
parties under the ACHP’s guidelines.
The purpose of the Programmatic
Agreement is to take into account the
effect of the proposed Keystone Pipeline
Project on historic properties and to
satisfy all responsibilities under Section
106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act.
Consistent with its authority under
Executive Order 13337, the Department
reviewed all of the available information
PO 00000
Frm 00076

and documentation, including
comments submitted by federal and
state agencies and the public. On
February 23, 2008, the Secretary’s
Delegate, Under Secretary of State for
Economic, Energy, and Business Affairs
Reuben Jeffery III, signed the Record of
Decision and National Interest
Determination, which states that
issuance of the Presidential Permit for
the Keystone Pipeline Project would
serve the national interest. Accordingly,
the Department proposes to issue the
Presidential Permit to Keystone subject
to certain terms and conditions.
Executive Order 13337 requires that
Secretaries or Heads of certain agencies
be notified of the Department’s
proposed determination concerning
issuance of the Presidential Permit. Any
agency required to be consulted under
Section 1(g) of the Order that disagrees
with the proposed determination may
notify the Secretary of State within 15
days of this notice that it disagrees with
the determination and request that the
Secretary refer the application to the
President. If no disagreement and
request for referral is registered within
the prescribed period, the Presidential
Permit will be signed and issued to
Keystone. On February 25, the
Department notified all agencies of its
intent to issue the Permit as required
under Section 1(g) of the order.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change
The BSE proposes to amend Section 4 (Appointment of Market Makers)
of Chapter VI of the Rules of the Boston Options Exchange (``BOX'') to
substitute the term ``issue'' for ``class.'' The text of the proposed
rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site https://
www.bostonstock.com, at the principal office of the Exchange, 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, the BSE 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. The BSE 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
The Exchange is proposing to amend the BOX Rules applicable to the
appointment of Market Makers on BOX. The Exchange is proposing to
replace the term ``issue'' in Section 4(f) of Chapter VI of the BOX
Rules with the term ``class.'' As the BOX Rules currently read, this is
the only instance in which the term ``issue'' is used as a noun to
convey this particular meaning. The proposed rule change substitutes
the use of the term ``class'' and its meaning with one that is more
consistent with the terms used throughout the BOX Rules.
The BOX Rules define the term ``class of options'' to mean all
options contracts of the same type and style covering the same
underlying security. This is the precise meaning that this instance of
the term ``issue'' is meant to convey. The terms ``class of options''
and ``option class'' are also used throughout the BOX Rules to convey
this same meaning. This current use of the term ``issue'' is unclear
and inconsistent with references used throughout the BOX Rules.
Therefore, the removal of the term ``issue'' and replacement with
the term ``class'' in its place will create greater consistency within
the BOX Rules. Such a substitution will also clarify the intended
meaning of this particular subsection of the BOX Rules by using a term
with an accepted definition that more closely conforms to the concept
being discussed.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the objectives of Section 6 of the Act,\5\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5),\6\ in particular, in that
it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.

\6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
The proposed rule change does not impose any 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 has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested
parties.
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, it has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires a self-regulatory organization to provide the Commission
with written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change,
along with a brief description and text of 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. The Exchange has fulfilled this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
