Based on the Pilot, the Exchange has not identified any additional significant regulatory issues to report at this time. Moreover, there have been no administrative or technical problems, other than routine telephone maintenance issues, that have resulted from the operation of the Pilot over the past few months. mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES Proposal To Make Portable Phone Pilot Permanent The Exchange proposes to make permanent the amendment to Exchange Rule 36 permitting a Floor broker and an RCMM to use an Exchange authorized and issued portable phone on the Exchange Floor. The permanent incorporation of the Pilot’s provisions will enable the Exchange to continue to provide more direct, efficient access to its trading crowds and customers, increase the speed of transmittal and execution of orders, and provide an enhanced level of service to customers in an increasingly competitive environment. In particular, by enabling customers to speak directly to a Floor broker in a trading crowd on an Exchange authorized and issued portable phone, the proposed rule change will continue what has become a more expeditious and direct free flow of information than the circuitous manner in which information was transmitted prior to the Pilot. The Exchange believes that the successful operation of the Pilot since 2003 for Floor brokers with the inclusion of RCMMs in 2006 amply demonstrates that the Pilot facilitates communication on the Exchange Floor for both Floor brokers and RCMMs without any corresponding drawbacks. Therefore, the Exchange believes it is appropriate to amend Exchange Rule 36 to make permanent the existing Pilot. 2. Statutory Basis The basis under the Act for this proposed rule change is the requirement under Section 6(b)(5) of the Act 18 that an Exchange have rules that are 17 The Exchange has received records of incoming and outgoing telephone calls from January 31, 2007, through January 31, 2008, for Floor brokers and RCMMs and will continue to receive records of such telephone calls on a monthly basis. 18 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).

The amendment to Exchange Rule 36 supports the mechanism of free and open markets by providing a means for increased communication by Floor brokers and RCMMs to and from the Exchange Floor. 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 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 neither solicited nor received written comments on the proposed rule change. 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 organization consents, the Commission will: (a) By order approve such proposed rule change; or (b) Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved.
