product or a major news announcement
or corporate event). Upon cessation of
the exceptional circumstances, the
OAESC, in its discretion, may determine
to reduce the MNQ, provided, however,
that any reduction must be undertaken
in accordance with the procedure
established in the Rule 507.
The effect of an increase in the MNQ
is procompetitive in that it increases the
number of market participants that may
quote electronically in a product. The
purpose of this filing is to increase the
MNQ for options overlying GLD, which
is a new product in which the Exchange
expects substantial trading volume.
The Exchange proposes to increase
the MNQ in GLD options from 12
quoters, the MNQ applicable to new
products with no ‘‘track record’’
sufficient to determine whether such
product falls within the top 5% most
actively traded options, to 22 quoters,
based on the Exchange’s belief that
options overlying GLD will eventually
fall within this category.
Increasing the MNQ in GLD options
will enable the Exchange to enhance the
liquidity offered, thereby offering
deeper and more liquid markets. The
Exchange represents that it will comply
with all of the requirements of Exchange
Rule 507 in increasing the MNQ in GLD
options and, if it determines
subsequently to reduce such MNQ, in
reducing the MNQ in GLD options.
Changes to the MNQ will be announced
to the membership via Exchange
Circular.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its
proposal 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, 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, by
adding depth and liquidity to the
Exchange’s markets in GLD options.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition

of the purposes of the Act.
