members of both FINRA and NYSE),
and NYSE has enforced the rule to
address, among other things, sales
practice abuses such as co-mingling of
funds, failure to disclose ownership
interests in accounts and unauthorized
trading.5 FINRA proposes to adopt
Incorporated NYSE Rule 406 as FINRA
Rule 3250 as it believes that this rule
will continue to be an important
enforcement tool and should be
expanded to apply to the entire FINRA
membership. FINRA further notes that
the Rule may provide members’
customers with a level of anonymity
within the member and with certain
external relationships that they find
useful, while still allowing customers’
identities to be clearly known to
members and available to regulators.
Consequently, FINRA proposes to adopt
Incorporated NYSE Rule 406 as FINRA
Rule 3250 with minor changes to
replace references to ‘‘member
organization’’ or ‘‘organization’’ with
the term ‘‘member.’’
As noted above, 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 the
proposed rule change will provide
FINRA with an important tool to further
ensure that FINRA members
appropriately designate each customer
account, while also providing a
reasonable means of permitting
customers to maintain a certain level of
anonymity, subject to appropriate
documentation identifying the owner.

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.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Description of the Proposed Rule
Change
OneChicago is proposing to amend
Rule 906(b)(1)(E) to eliminate the $3
market price per share requirement from
the Exchange’s requirements for
continued approval for an underlying
security. All other provisions and
standards of the Rule will remain
unchanged. A copy of this filing is
available on the Exchange’s Web site at
https://www.onechicago.com, at the
Exchange’s principal office and at 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
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.
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
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
maintenance standards for a security
futures product (SFP) that is physically
settled by removing Rule 906(b)(1)(E).
OC’s rules require that the market price
per share of the underlying security has
not closed below $3 on the previous
trading day to the Expiration Day of the
nearest expiring Contract on the
underlying security. If the price of an
underlying security falls below $3, the
Exchange can continue to trade thenlisted delivery months on that
underlying security, but is unable to list
new delivery months.
The Exchange believes that the $3
market price per share requirement is no
longer necessary or appropriate, and
that only those underlying securities
meeting the remaining continued listing
criteria set forth in Rule 906 will be
eligible for continued listing and the
listing of additional delivery months.
The Exchange further believes that the
current $3 market price per share
requirement could have a negative effect
on investors. For example, in the
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:47 Apr 15, 2009
Jkt 217001
current volatile market environment in
which the market price for a large
number of securities has fallen below
$3, the Exchange is unable to list new
delivery months on underlying
securities trading below $3. If there is
market demand for such SFP the
Exchange would be unable to
accommodate such requests and
investors would be unable to hedge
their positions with new delivery
months.
2. Statutory Basis
The proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the
Act 4 in that it is designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and
practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to protect investors
and the public interest, and to remove
impediments to and perfect the
mechanism for a free and open market
and a national market system. In
particular, the proposed rule change
will permit the Exchange to list
additional delivery months on
underlying securities even if the price of
the underlying security is less than $3
thus providing investors additional
opportunities to hedge their positions.
Further, this proposed rule change is
nearly identical to one recently
approved by the Commission.5
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
OneChicago does not believe that the
proposed rule change will have an
impact on competition.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
Comments on the OneChicago
proposed rule change have not been
solicited and none have been received.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The proposed rule change has become
effective on April 3, 2009. At any time
within 60 days of the date of
effectiveness of the proposed rule
change, the Commission, after
consultation with the CFTC, may
summarily abrogate the proposed rule
change and require that the proposed
rule change be refilled in accordance
with the provisions of Section 19(b)(1)
of the Act.6

NYSE Amex proposes to amend Rule
975NY pertaining to the nullification
and adjustment of options transactions.
Specifically, the Exchange proposes to
adopt a new provision which provides
that in the interest of maintaining a fair
and orderly market and for the
protection of investors, the Chief
Executive Officer of NYSE Amex
(‘‘CEO’’) or his/her designee
(collectively ‘‘Exchange officer’’),6 may,
on his or her own motion or upon
request, determine to review any
transaction occurring on the Exchange
that is believed to be erroneous.7 A
transaction reviewed pursuant to this
new provision may be nullified or
adjusted only if it is determined by the
Exchange officer that the transaction is
erroneous as provided in Rule
975NY(a)(1)–(5) or Commentary .04
thereof. A transaction would be adjusted
or nullified in accordance with the
provision under which it is deemed an
erroneous transaction. The Exchange
officer may be assisted by a Trading
Official in reviewing a transaction.
The Exchange officer shall act
pursuant to this paragraph as soon as
possible after receiving notification of
the transaction, and ordinarily would be
expected to act on the same day as the
transaction occurred. However, because
a transaction under review may have
occurred near the close of trading or due
to unusual circumstances, the rule
provides that the Exchange officer shall
act no later than 9:30 a.m. (ET) on the
next trading day following the date of
the transaction in question. An ATP
Holder affected by a determination to
nullify or adjust a transaction pursuant
to this new provision may appeal such
6 The Exchange represents that a CEO designee
will be an officer of the Exchange, who has also
been designated as a Trading Official, such as the
Executive Vice President of Trading Operations or
the Vice President of Trade Operations or the Vice
President of Options Floor Operations. Exchange
officers are employees of the Exchange, and are not
affiliated with ATP Holders or ATP Firms.
7 In the event a party to a transaction requests the
review of a transaction, an Exchange officer
nonetheless would need to determine, on his or her
own motion, whether to review the transaction.

determination in accordance with Rule
975NY(a)(6); however, a determination
by an Exchange officer not to review a
transaction, or a determination not to
nullify or adjust a transaction for which
a review was requested or conducted, is
not appealable. NYSE Amex believes it
is appropriate to limit review on appeal
to only those situations in which a
transaction is actually nullified or
adjusted.
This new provision is not intended to
replace a party’s obligation to request a
review, within the required time periods
under Rule 975NY(a)(3), of any
transaction that it believes meets the
criteria for an obvious error. And, if a
transaction is reviewed and a
determination has been rendered
pursuant to Rules 975NY(a)(1)–(5) or
Commentary .04 thereof, no additional
relief may be granted under this new
provision. Moreover, NYSE Amex does
not anticipate exercising this new
authority in every situation in which a
party fails to make a timely request for
review of a transaction pursuant to Rule
975NY(a)(3). NYSE Amex believes this
provision will help to protect the
integrity of its marketplace by vesting an
Exchange officer with the authority to
review a transaction that may be
erroneous, notwithstanding that a party
failed to make a timely request for a
review.
The Exchange also proposes at this
time to revise Rule 975NY(a)(3)(A) in
order to clarify that the time period in
which a Market Maker or other ATP
Holder must notify the Exchange, when
requesting relief from a possible
erroneous transaction, applies to all
transactions that are subject to
adjustment or nullification, pursuant to
Rule 975NY(a)(1)–(5).
2. Statutory Basis
This proposed rule change is designed
to allow an Exchange officer to review
a transaction in order to provide the
opportunity for potential relief to a
party affected by an obvious error. The
Exchange believes that for these reasons
the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act 8 in general,
and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act 9 in particular, because
it is designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in
facilitating transactions in securities,
and to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and
open market and a national market

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.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
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
maintenance standards for a security futures product (SFP) that is
physically settled by removing Rule 906(b)(1)(E). OC's rules require
that the market price per share of the underlying security has not
closed below $3 on the previous trading day to the Expiration Day of
the nearest expiring Contract on the underlying security. If the price
of an underlying security falls below $3, the Exchange can continue to
trade then-listed delivery months on that underlying security, but is
unable to list new delivery months.
The Exchange believes that the $3 market price per share
requirement is no longer necessary or appropriate, and that only those
underlying securities meeting the remaining continued listing criteria
set forth in Rule 906 will be eligible for continued listing and the
listing of additional delivery months. The Exchange further 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 in which the market price for a large number of
securities has fallen below $3, the Exchange is unable to list new
delivery months on underlying securities trading below $3. If there is
market demand for such SFP the Exchange would be unable to accommodate
such requests and investors would be unable to hedge their positions
with new delivery months.
2. Statutory Basis
The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the
Act \4\ in that it is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative
acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade,
to protect investors and the public interest, and to remove impediments
to and perfect the mechanism for a free and open market and a national

Exchange to list additional delivery months on underlying securities
even if the price of the underlying security is less than $3 thus
providing investors additional opportunities to hedge their positions.
