Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2 notice is hereby given that on April 22, 2008, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘CBOE’’) 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 the Exchange. The Exchange has designated this proposal as one effecting a change in an existing order-entry or trading system pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 3 and Rule 19b–4(f)(5) thereunder,4 which renders it effective upon filing with the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The Exchange proposes to change CBOE Stock Exchange (‘‘CBSX’’) Rule 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). CFR 240.19b–4. 3 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii). 4 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(5). 2 17 PO 00000 Frm 00103 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 52.8, which governs the handling of odd-lot orders. The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange’s principal office, the Commission’s Public Reference Room, and https://www.cboe.com. 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 Exchange 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 Exchange 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 purpose of this proposed rule change is to revise CBSX Rule 52.8, which governs the handling of odd-lot orders. Currently, a marketable odd-lot order received by CBSX is executed against the best price being displayed by CBSX Market-Makers. As proposed, an odd-lot order (including the odd-lot portion of a mixed-lot order) received by CBSX would be displayed to CBSX Traders for a period of time not to exceed one second as determined by CBSX. The exposure would also include information regarding the applicable NBBO price for that product. Responses to trade against the odd-lot order could be submitted only at the applicable NBBO price or better and would have to be for the full size of the odd-lot order. The first CBSX Trader to respond would trade against the odd-lot order. If no responses are received, then the order would trade against the best price being displayed by a CBSX Market-Maker. If the odd-lot order has a limit price that is not marketable, it would be entered into an odd-lot order book, where CBSX Traders may submit orders to trade against resting interest. A final feature of the proposal is that odd-lot order senders would be able to specify that, if an NBBO execution is not attainable, the order should be cancelled. The Exchange believes this new method for handling odd-lot orders will result in better executions for odd-lots orders. E:\FR\FM\29APN1.SGM 29APN1
