jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Exchange represents that DUG, DXD and
DBA are eligible for options trading
because they constitute ‘‘ExchangeTraded Fund Shares,’’ as defined by ISE
Rule 502(h).
All of the applicable fees covered by
this filing are identical to fees charged
by the Exchange for all other Premium
Products. Specifically, the Exchange is
proposing to adopt an execution fee and
a comparison fee for all transactions in
options on DUG, DXD and DBA.9 The
amount of the execution fee and
comparison fee for products covered by
this filing shall be $0.15 and $0.03 per
contract, respectively, for all Public
Customer Orders 10 and Firm
Proprietary orders. The amount of the
execution fee and comparison fee for all
ISE Market Maker transactions shall be
equal to the execution fee and
comparison fee currently charged by the
Exchange for ISE Market Maker
transactions in equity options.11 Finally,
the amount of the execution fee and
comparison fee for all non-ISE Market
Maker transactions shall be $0.37 and
$0.03 per contract, respectively.12
Further, since options on DUG, DXD
and DBA are multiply-listed, the
Exchange’s Payment for Order Flow fee
shall apply to all these products. The
Exchange believes the proposed rule
change will further the Exchange’s goal
of introducing new products to the
marketplace that are competitively
priced.
Further, as a matter of housekeeping,
the Exchange proposes to remove from
its Schedule of Fees options on Regional
Bank HOLDRS (RKH) and Enterra
Energy Trust (ENT).13

applicable federal or state laws, rules or regulations.

9 These fees will be charged only to Exchange
members. Under a pilot program that is set to expire
on July 31, 2008, these fees will also be charged to
Linkage Principal Orders (‘‘Linkage P Orders’’) and
Linkage Principal Acting as Agent Orders (‘‘Linkage
P/A Orders’’). The amount of the execution fee
charged by the Exchange for Linkage P Orders and
Linkage P/A Orders is $0.24 per contract side and
$0.15 per contract side, respectively. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 56128 (July 24, 2007), 72
FR 42161 (August 1, 2007) (SR–ISE–2007–55).
10 Public Customer Order is defined in ISE Rule
100(a)(39) as an order for the account of a Public
Customer. Public Customer is defined in ISE Rule
100(a)(38) as a person that is not a broker or dealer
in securities.
11 The execution fee is currently between $.21
and $.12 per contract side, depending on the
Exchange Average Daily Volume, and the
comparison fee is currently $.03 per contract side.
12 The amount of the execution and comparison
fee for non-ISE Market Maker transactions executed
in the Exchange’s Facilitation and Solicitation
Mechanisms is $0.16 and $0.03 per contract,
respectively.

2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b) of the Act 14 in general, and
Section 6(b)(4) of the Act 15 in
particular, because it is designed to
provide for the 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
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
The foregoing proposed rule change
has been designated as a fee change
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the
Act 16 and Rule 19b–4(f)(2) 17
thereunder, because it establishes or
changes a due, fee, or other charge
imposed by the Exchange. Accordingly,
the proposal took effect upon filing with
the Commission. 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.
