1. Purpose
The Exchange is proposing to amend
its Schedule of Fees to establish fees for
transactions in options on the iShares
Silver Trust (‘‘SLV’’) 4 and the iShares®
COMEX Gold Trust (‘‘IAU’’).5 The
Exchange represents that SLV and IAU
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
by the Exchange for all other Premium
Products. Specifically, the Exchange is
proposing to adopt an execution fee for
all transactions in options on SLV and
IAU.6 The amount of the execution fee

promoted by BGII, and BGII makes no
representation regarding the advisability of
investing in SLV. BGII has not licensed or
authorized ISE to (i) engage in the creation, listing,

to any of their trademarks or service marks in
connection with the listing, provision of a market
for trading, marketing, and promotion of options on
SLV or with making disclosures concerning options
on SLV under any applicable federal or state laws,
rules or regulations. BGII does not sponsor, endorse,
or promote such activity by ISE and is not affiliated
in any manner with ISE.

investing in IAU. BGII and Commodity Exchange,
Inc., have not licensed or authorized ISE to (i)
engage in the creation, listing, provision of a market

IAU or (ii) to use and refer to any of their

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 SLV and IAU
are multiply-listed, the Exchange’s
Payment for Order Flow fee shall apply
to 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.
Further, as a matter of housekeeping,
the Exchange proposes to remove MYP,
PUF, SAW and WSI from its Schedule
of fees.10
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with
the objectives of Section 6 of the Act,11
in general, and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(4),12 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

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

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

Mechanisms is $0.19 per contract.

SLV is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by BGII, and BGII
makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in
SLV. BGII has not licensed or authorized ISE to (i) engage in the
creation, listing, provision of a market for trading, marketing, and
