Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 159 / Friday, August 15, 2008 / Notices
option contracts that number greater
than 14,000, calculated per day: (1) per
equity option overlying the same
underlying security; (2) per RUT option;
(3) per RMN option; (4) per MNX
option; and (5) per NDX option (‘‘14,000
cap’’). The contract volume above the
14,000 cap described above would not
be included in the Volume Threshold
calculations. Therefore, per day, up to
14,000 contracts that meet the criteria
above would be included in the Volume
Threshold. The purpose of excluding
this volume is because it is already
subject to different fee caps or fee
credits.
The Exchange also proposes to delete
the $0.08 per contract side rebate for
ROTs and $0.07 per contract side rebate
for specialists in connection with trades
occurring as part of a dividend, merger,
and short stock interest strategy. The
Exchange believes that at this time the
rebate is no longer necessary. The
Exchange believes that the current
$1,000 and $25,000 fee caps that will
remain unchanged are sufficient
incentives to encourage this type of
business at the Exchange.
The purpose of SR–Phlx–2008–59,
Amendment No. 1 is to clarify the
application of the proposed reduction of
the equity option transaction charge to
$0.01 per contract.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its
proposal to amend its schedule of fees
is consistent with Section 6(b) of the
Act,13 in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,14
in particular, in that it is designed to
provide for the equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees, and other charges
among Exchange members. The
Exchange believes that this proposal is
equitable because it generally should
result in a reduction in fees for ROTs
and specialists who meet the Volume
Threshold, which should, in turn,
increase order flow to the Exchange.
Specifically, the Exchange believes that
it is equitable to reduce fees for
specialists and ROTs, which includes
SQTs and RSQTs, as opposed to other
broker-dealers and ROTs entering
transactions from off-floor because
specialists and ROTs have continuous
quoting and affirmative market making
obligations.15

15 For billing purposes, ROTs entering
transactions from off-floor will continue to be
charged the broker/dealer equity option transaction
charge because those transactions generally are
considered to be not the core part of their
continuous quoting and affirmative market making
obligations.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

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
