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 January

‘‘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 Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule
from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of

The Exchange proposes to adopt a

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
Exchange 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. 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
On August 29, 2008, the Exchange
was acquired by The NASDAQ OMX
Group, Inc. (‘‘NASDAQ OMX’’). At the
time of this acquisition, the Exchange
was not operating a venue for trading
cash equities. Pursuant to SR–BSE–
2008–48, the Exchange has adopted a
new rulebook with rules governing
membership, the regulatory obligations
of members, listing, and equities
trading.3 The new rules, which are
designated as the ‘‘Equity Rules,’’ are
based to a substantial extent on the rules
of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (the
‘‘NASDAQ Exchange’’). The Equity
Rules leave in effect the Exchange’s preexisting rules (the ‘‘Options Rules’’) for
the purpose of governing trading on the
Exchange’s Boston Options Exchange
facility (‘‘BOX’’).
In this filing, the Exchange is
proposing new fees to be charged to
members in connection with the
resumption of its cash equities trading
business. The fee schedules are
structurally similar to those of the
NASDAQ Exchange, but with the
omission of many fees that are not
pertinent to the Exchange’s planned
business and with several differences in
the level of certain fees.
Membership Fees
As provided in proposed Equity Rule
7001, the Exchange will charge a $2,000
membership application fee, a $3,000
annual membership fee, and a $500
