The purpose of the proposed rule
change is to continue to permit
specified options series to be quoted
and traded in increments of $0.01 by

option classes. The Penny Pilot Program
originally included the following
thirteen options: Ishares Russell 2000
(IWM); NASDAQ–100 Index Tracking
Stock (QQQQ); SemiConductor Holders

(GE); Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
