proposing to amend its Schedule of Fees

options on the iShares Dow Jones U.S.
Medical Devices Index Fund (‘‘IHI’’), the
iShares Dow Jones U.S. Oil & Gas
Exploration & Production Index Fund
(‘‘IEO’’), the iShares Dow Jones U.S.
Regional Banks Index Fund (‘‘IAT’’),4
and the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas
Exploration & Production ETF
(‘‘XOP’’).5 The Exchange represents that
IHI, IEO, IAT, and XOP are eligible for
options trading because they constitute
‘‘Exchange-Traded Fund Shares,’’ as
defined by ISE Rule 502(h).
All of the applicable fees covered by
this filing are identical to fees charged

Global Investors, N.A. (‘‘BGI’’), a wholly owned

been licensed for use for certain purposes by BGI.
All other trademarks and service marks are the

Fund (‘‘IAT’’) are not sponsored, endorsed, sold, or

listing, provision of a market for trading, marketing,

laws, rules or regulations. BGI and Dow Jones do
not sponsor, endorse, or promote such activity by

by the Exchange for all other Premium
Products. Specifically, the Exchange is
proposing to adopt an execution fee for
all transactions in options on IHI, IEO,
IAT, and XOP.6 The amount of the
execution fee for products covered by
this filing shall be $0.18 per contract for
all Public Customer Orders 7 and $0.20
per contract for all Firm Proprietary
orders. The amount of the execution fee
for all ISE Market Maker transactions
shall be equal to the execution fee
currently charged by the Exchange for
ISE Market Maker transactions in equity
options.8 Finally, the amount of the
execution fee for all non-ISE Market
Maker transactions shall be $0.45 per
contract.9 Further, since options on IHI,
IEO, IAT, and XOP 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.
2. Basis—The Exchange believes that
the proposed rule change is consistent
with the objectives of Section 6 of the
Act,10 in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(4),11 in
particular, in that 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.
6 These fees will be charged only to Exchange
members. Under a pilot program that is set to expire
on July 31, 2009, 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. 58143 (July 11, 2008), 73
FR 41388 (July 18, 2008) (SR–ISE–2008–52).
7 Public Customer Order is defined in Exchange
Rule 100(a)(39) as an order for the account of a
Public Customer. Public Customer is defined in
Exchange Rule 100(a)(38) as a person or entity that
is not a broker or dealer in securities.
8 The Exchange applies a sliding scale, between
$0.01 and $0.18 per contract side, based on the
number of contracts an ISE market maker trades in
a month.
9 The amount of the execution fee for non-ISE
Market Maker transactions executed in the
Exchange’s Facilitation and Solicitation
Mechanisms is $0.19 per contract.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes a six-month
pilot program (‘‘Pilot’’ or ‘‘program’’) to
establish a new class of NYSE market
participants that will be referred to as
‘‘Supplemental Liquidity Providers’’
(‘‘SLPs’’) and will be designated as
Exchange Rule 107B.

and discussed any comments it received
on the proposed rule change. The text
of these statements may be examined at

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
With this rule filing, the NYSE is
proposing a six-month pilot program to
establish a new class of market
participants: Supplemental Liquidity
Providers (‘‘SLP’’). SLPs will
supplement the liquidity provided by
Designated Market Makers (‘‘DMMs’’)
when the NYSE ‘‘New Market Model’’ is
approved by the SEC. SLPs may only
enter orders electronically from off the
Floor of the Exchange and may only
enter such orders directly into Exchange
systems and facilities designated for this
purpose. All SLP orders must only be
for the proprietary account of the SLP
member organization. Thus, an SLP will
not handle orders from public
customers or otherwise act on an agency
basis. They will have a 5% average
quoting requirement per assigned
security. Additionally, if an SLP posts
displayed or non-displayed liquidity in
its assigned securities that results in an
execution, the Exchange will pay the
SLP a financial rebate.
By establishing this new class of
market participant, the NYSE is seeking
to provide incentives for quoting and to

options trading because they constitute ``Exchange-Traded Fund
Shares,'' as defined by ISE Rule 502(h).

applicable federal or state laws, rules or regulations. State
Street, McGraw-Hill, and S&P do not sponsor, endorse, or promote
such activity by ISE and are not affiliated in any manner with ISE.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 for
all transactions in options on IHI, IEO, IAT, and XOP.\6\ The amount of
the execution fee for products covered by this filing shall be $0.18
per contract for all Public Customer Orders \7\ and $0.20 per contract
for all Firm Proprietary orders. The amount of the execution fee for
all ISE Market Maker transactions shall be equal to the execution fee
currently charged by the Exchange for ISE Market Maker transactions in
equity options.\8\ Finally, the amount of the execution fee for all
non-ISE Market Maker transactions shall be $0.45 per contract.\9\
Further, since options on IHI, IEO, IAT, and XOP are multiply-listed,
the Exchange's Payment for Order Flow fee shall apply to all these

2. Basis--The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with the objectives of Section 6 of the Act,\10\ in general,

that it is designed to provide for the equitable allocation of
