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
self-regulatory organization included
statements concerning the purpose of,
and basis for, the proposed rule change
and discussed any comments it received
on the proposed rule change. The text
of those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below.
The Exchange has prepared summaries,
set forth in sections A, B, and C below,
of the most significant parts of such
statements.
rule proposal is consistent with the Act
and the rules and regulations under the
Act applicable to a national securities
exchange and, in particular, the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.4
Specifically, the Exchange believes that
the proposed rule change is consistent
with the Section 6(b)(5) Act 5
requirements that the rules of an
exchange be designed to promote just
and equitable principles of trade, to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative
acts and, in general, to protect investors
and the public interest.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
CBOE does not believe that the
proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act.
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
1. Purpose
The purpose of this proposed rule
change is to eliminate the $3 market
price per share requirement from the
Exchange’s requirements for continued
approval for an underlying security
from Rule 5.4.01(d). In addition, the rule
filing would amend Rule 5.4.02 by
eliminating the prohibition against
listing additional series of options on an
underlying security at any time when
the price per share of such underlying
security is less than $3. Also, the
Exchange proposes to make technical
changes throughout the Interpretations
and Policies to Rule 5.4 to eliminate
references to paragraph (d) of
Interpretation and Policy .01 to Rule 5.4.
The Exchange believes that the $3
market price per share requirement is no
longer necessary or appropriate, and
states that only those underlying
securities meeting the remaining
maintenance listing criteria set forth in
Rule 5.4.01 will be eligible for
continued listing and the listing of
additional option series. The Exchange
believes that the current $3 market price
per share requirement could have a
negative effect on investors. For
example, in the current volatile market
environment, the Exchange is currently
unable to list new series on underlying
securities trading below $3. If there is
market demand for series below $3, the
Exchange would be unable to
accommodate such requests and
investors would be unable to hedge
their positions with options series with
strikes below $3.
2. Statutory Basis
Because the current rule proposal will
permit the Exchange to make options on
underlying securities available even if
the price of the underlying security is
less than $3, the Exchange believes the

(‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2
notice is hereby given that on December
3, 2008, Chicago Board Options
Exchange, Incorporated (‘‘CBOE’’ 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 CBOE. 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 filing proposes to adopt a Trade,
Flash and Cancel order type for the
CBOE Stock Exchange (‘‘CBSX’’). The
text of the proposed rule change is
available on the Exchange’s Web site
(https://www.cboe.org/legal), at the

The Exchange has prepared summaries,

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

1. Purpose
The purpose of this proposed rule
change is to revise CBSX Rule 51.8 to
adopt a Trade, Flash and Cancel order
type. This is a market or marketable
limit order to buy or sell that is to be
executed in whole or in part on CBSX
immediately and automatically after it is
received by the CBSX System without
delay for any purpose except that it will
be electronically exposed pursuant to
Rule 52.6 prior to cancellation. Rule
52.6 provides that market or limit orders
shall not be executed at a price that
would cause a trade-through of a

611 of Regulation NMS; instead, these

orders are ‘‘flashed’’ to CBSX Traders 3
for potential execution at a price that
would not cause a trade-through.4 This
new order type would allow users to
send orders to CBSX for execution even
when CBSX is not the NBBO without
requiring CBSX to seek an NBBO fill for
these orders at away trading centers
when price improvement on CBSX is
not achieved. Thus, users can seek fills
on CBSX while maintaining control over
routing.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act 5 in general and furthers
the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the
Act 6 in particular in that, by offering
users an enhanced price improvement
feature and greater control over order
routing, it is designed to promote just
and equitable principles of trade, and
serve to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and
open market and a national market
system.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
CBOE does not believe that the
proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition 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
No written comments were solicited
or received with respect to the proposed
rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for

order by matching the flash price (the NBBO price
at the time the order was received by the CBSX
System), the order will be executed unless the
system determines at the point of execution that the
flash price is worse than a revised NBBO in which
case the order will be cancelled. See e-mail from

notice is hereby given that on December

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission,
FINRA included statements concerning
the purpose of and basis for the
proposed rule change and discussed any
comments it received on the proposed
rule change. The text of these statements
may be examined at the places specified
in Item IV below. FINRA 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
As part of the process of developing
a new consolidated rulebook
(‘‘Consolidated FINRA Rulebook’’),4
FINRA is proposing to adopt a new
FINRA rule based on NASD Rule 2280
(Investor Education and Protection). The
proposed rule would require member
firms, with certain exceptions, to
provide customers with FINRA’s Web
site address and information regarding
FINRA’s BrokerCheck program at least
once every calendar year.
NASD Rule 2280 currently applies to
all member firms that carry customer
accounts and hold customer funds or
securities. The Rule requires that each
such member firm provide its customers
with the following information in
writing not less than once every
calendar year: (1) The ‘‘Public
Disclosure Program’’ hotline number; (2)
the NASD Regulation Web site address;
and (3) a statement regarding the
availability of an investor brochure that
includes information describing the
‘‘Public Disclosure Program.’’ There is
no comparable Incorporated NYSE Rule.
The proposed rule would apply to all
member firms, with two general
exceptions: (1) a firm that does not have
customers or (2) an introducing firm
that is party to a carrying agreement
where the carrying firm member
complies with the Rule.
Unlike NASD Rule 2280, the
proposed rule would apply to member
4 The
current FINRA rulebook includes, in
addition to FINRA Rules, (1) NASD Rules and (2)
rules incorporated from NYSE (‘‘Incorporated NYSE
Rules’’) (together, the NASD Rules and Incorporated
NYSE Rules are referred to as the ‘‘Transitional
Rulebook’’). While the NASD Rules generally apply
to all FINRA members, the Incorporated NYSE
Rules apply only to those members of FINRA that
are also members of the NYSE (‘‘Dual Members’’).
For more information about the rulebook
consolidation process, see FINRA Information
Notice, March 12, 2008 (Rulebook Consolidation
Process).

firms that conduct a limited business
with customers, such as mutual fund
distributors and member firms that deal
solely with direct participation
programs (‘‘DPPs’’). These member firms
would be required to comply with the
rule and provide the disclosures to their
customers at least once every calendar
year. To the extent such firms are
parties to a carrying agreement and the
carrying firm member complies on their
behalf, these firms would be excepted
from the requirements of the proposed
rule.
In December 2003, FINRA announced
that its ‘‘Public Disclosure Program’’
would thereafter be known as
‘‘BrokerCheck.’’ Accordingly, the
proposed rule would include references
to ‘‘BrokerCheck’’ rather than the
‘‘Public Disclosure Program’’.
Additionally, the proposed rule would
include references to the FINRA Web
site address rather than the NASD
Regulation Web site address. Lastly, the
proposed rule would clarify that the
information required under the rule may
be provided electronically to
customers.5
FINRA will announce the
implementation date of the proposed
rule change in a Regulatory Notice to be
published no later than 90 days
following Commission approval.
2. Statutory Basis
FINRA believes that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the provisions
of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,6 which
requires, among other things, that
FINRA rules must be designed to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative
acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, and, in
general, to protect investors and the
public interest. FINRA believes that, by
adopting the investor education and
protection rule as a FINRA rule, the
proposed rule change will help to
ensure that customers continue to
receive written information regarding
FINRA’s BrokerCheck program.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
FINRA does not believe that the
proposed rule change will result in any
burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act.
5 See NASD Notice to Members 98–3 (Electronic
Delivery of Information Between Members and
Their Customers). This Notice sets forth the policy
applicable to electronic delivery of information
between member firms and their customers as
permitted or required by NASD rules.
