Self-Regulatory Organizations;
Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc.; Notice
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness
of Proposed Rule Change Relating to
Participant Fees and Assessments
November 17, 2008.
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 November
7, 2008, the Chicago Stock Exchange,
Inc. (‘‘CHX’’ or the ‘‘Exchange’’) 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 prepared by the CHX. 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 CHX proposes to amend its
Schedule of Participant Fees and
Assessments (the ‘‘Fee Schedule’’) to
alter the take/provide charges for Tape
B securities. The text of this proposed
rule change is available on the
Exchange’s Web site at https://
www.chx.com/rules/
proposed_rules.htm, at the principal
office of the Exchange, and in the
Commission’s Public Reference Room.
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
CHX included statements concerning
the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any
comments it received regarding the
proposal. The text of these statements
may be examined at the places specified
in Item IV below. The CHX 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
Changes
1. Purpose
Through this filing, the Exchange
would amend its Fee Schedule to
discontinue the existing program setting
forth a higher provide credit of $0.0036/
share for transactions in Tape B
securities if certain volume thresholds
had been met. Moreover, the transaction
fee for liquidity takers in Tape B
securities is being raised to $0.0030/
share from the current level of $0.0029/
share. All liquidity providers in Tape B
securities would qualify for a credit of
$0.0032/share, regardless of its average
daily trading volume. The Exchange
believes that these proposed fee changes
are more consistent with its long-term
goals of incenting firms to trade using
our facilities at rates which do not
expose the Exchange to potential losses
or capital outlays.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the rule
changes proposed in this submission are
consistent with the requirements of the
Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder that are applicable to a
national securities exchange, and, in
particular, with the requirements of
Section 6(b). The proposed rule change
is consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the
Act in that it provides for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees and
other charges among its Participants.
The proposed increase in the liquidity
takers fee in Tape B securities is of
$0.0001/share, which is a relatively
modest amount. The increased revenue
will be used to fund the Exchange’s
existing operations, which may in turn
benefit its Participants. Finally, the
discontinuance of the two-tiered fee
structure for liquidity providers in Tape
B securities fee streamlines the
Exchange’s Fee Schedule and related
billing structure, as well as eliminates a
program which potentially exposed the
Exchange to large and costly rebates to
Participant firms.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule changes will impose
any burden on competition.
