A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
The purpose of the proposed rule
change is to assess a $.01 per contract
fee for Complex Orders 6 in equity
options that are directed to specialists,
Streaming Quote Traders (‘‘SQTs’’) 7 and
Remote Streaming Quote Traders
(‘‘RSQTs’’) (‘‘Directed Participants’’ or
‘‘Directed Specialists, RSQTs, or
SQTs’’) 8 by a member or member
organization (‘‘Order Flow Provider’’ or
‘‘OFP’’),9 and executed electronically on
the Exchange’s electronic trading
platform for options, the Phlx XL II
system.10 The $0.01 per contract rate
would be assessed to the Direct [sic]
Participants, in lieu of the equity
options transactions fees of $.22 per
contract side for Registered Option
Traders (‘‘ROTs’’) (on-floor) and $.21
per contract side for specialists on
contracts executed electronically as part
of a Complex Order.11 This fee
assessment would not apply to single
sided Directed Orders 12 pursuant to
6 A Complex Order is composed of two or more
components and is priced as a single order (a
‘‘Complex Order Strategy’’) on a net debit or credit
basis. See Exchange Rule 1080, Commentary .08.
For a complete description of the Exchange’s
Complex Order System. [sic] See also Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 58361 (August 14, 2008),

7 An SQT is an Exchange Registered Options
Trader (‘‘ROT’’) who has received permission from
the Exchange to generate and submit option
quotations electronically through an electronic
interface with AUTOM via an Exchange approved
proprietary electronic quoting device in eligible
options to which such SQT is assigned. See
Exchange Rule 1014(b)(ii)(A).
8 See Exchange Rule 1080(l), ‘‘* * * The term
‘Directed Specialist, RSQT, or SQT’ means a
specialist, RSQT, or SQT that receives a Directed
Order.’’ A Directed Participant has a higher quoting
requirement as compared with a specialist, SQT or
RSQT who is not acting as a Directed Participant.
See Exchange Rule 1014.
9 See Exchange Rule 1080(l). ‘‘* * * The term
‘Order Flow Provider’ (‘OFP’) means any member
or member organization that submits, as agent,
customer orders to the Exchange.’’
10 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59995
(May 28, 2009), 74 FR 26750 (June 3, 2009) (SR–
Phlx–2009–32).
11 In addition the Exchange notes that currently
Registered Option Traders (on-floor) and specialists
that exceed 4.5 million contracts (‘‘Volume
Threshold’’) in a given month are assessed $.01 per
contract on contract volume above the Volume
Threshold instead of the applicable options
transaction charges.
12 See Exchange Rule 1080(l), ‘‘* * * The term
‘Directed Order’ means any customer order (other
than a stop or stop-limit order as defined in Rule
1066) to buy or sell which has been directed to a
particular specialist, RSQT, or SQT by an Order
Flow Provider, as defined below. To qualify as a
Directed Order, an order must be delivered to the
Exchange via AUTOM.’’ See also See [sic]

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 134 / Wednesday, July 15, 2009 / Notices
Exchange Rule 1080(l). Customers who
are on the contra-side of a trade
involving Directed Orders would not be
subject to a fee. Also, Complex Orders
in index and foreign currency options
would not be subject to this assessment,
but will continue to be assessed the
option transaction charges in effect on
the Exchange for simple orders for all
participants. The Exchange proposes
this amendment in order to create
incentives for specialists, SQTs and
RSQTs that receive directed order flow
to provide liquidity in Complex Orders
sent to the Exchange for execution and
to encourage directed order flow.
Currently, the Exchange assesses an
equity option transaction charge of $.08
per contract side for specialists and
ROTs, including SQTs and RSQTs, on
contracts executed electronically as part
of a Complex Order in equity options.
Market participants other than
specialists and ROTs are assessed the
applicable current equity option
transaction charge. Complex Orders are
currently assessed on a net debit/credit
basis and are billed on a per contract
side basis, regardless of the manner in
which the order was delivered to the
Exchange.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its
proposal to amend its schedule of fees
is consistent with Section 6(b) of the
Act 13 in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act 14
in particular, in that it is an equitable
allocation of reasonable fees and other
charges among Exchange members.
Specifically, the Exchange believes that
this proposal is equitable because it
would apply evenly to specialists, SQTs
and RSQTs transacting with Complex
Orders sent to the Exchange for
execution, in that any specialist, SQT or
RSQT may act as a Directed Participant
and receive the $.01 per contract fee.
Also, the Exchange believes this
proposal will increase liquidity in
Complex Orders.

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
The purpose of the proposed rule change is to assess a $.01 per
contract fee for Complex Orders \6\ in equity options that are directed
to specialists, Streaming Quote Traders (``SQTs'') \7\ and Remote
Streaming Quote Traders (``RSQTs'') (``Directed Participants'' or
``Directed Specialists, RSQTs, or SQTs'') \8\ by a member or member
organization (``Order Flow Provider'' or ``OFP''),\9\ and executed
electronically on the Exchange's electronic trading platform for
options, the Phlx XL II system.\10\ The $0.01 per contract rate would
be assessed to the Direct [sic] Participants, in lieu of the equity
options transactions fees of $.22 per contract side for Registered
Option Traders (``ROTs'') (on-floor) and $.21 per contract side for
specialists on contracts executed electronically as part of a Complex
Order.\11\ This fee assessment would not apply to single sided Directed
Orders \12\ pursuant to
[[Page 34386]]
Exchange Rule 1080(l). Customers who are on the contra-side of a trade
involving Directed Orders would not be subject to a fee. Also, Complex
Orders in index and foreign currency options would not be subject to
this assessment, but will continue to be assessed the option
transaction charges in effect on the Exchange for simple orders for all
participants. The Exchange proposes this amendment in order to create
incentives for specialists, SQTs and RSQTs that receive directed order
flow to provide liquidity in Complex Orders sent to the Exchange for
execution and to encourage directed order flow.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ A Complex Order is composed of two or more components and is
priced as a single order (a ``Complex Order Strategy'') on a net
debit or credit basis. See Exchange Rule 1080, Commentary .08. For a
complete description of the Exchange's Complex Order System. [sic]
See also Securities Exchange Act Release No. 58361 (August 14,
2008), 73 FR 49529 (August 21, 2008) (SR-Phlx-2008-50).
\7\ An SQT is an Exchange Registered Options Trader (``ROT'')
who has received permission from the Exchange to generate and submit
option quotations electronically through an electronic interface
with AUTOM via an Exchange approved proprietary electronic quoting
device in eligible options to which such SQT is assigned. See
Exchange Rule 1014(b)(ii)(A).
\8\ See Exchange Rule 1080(l), ``* * * The term `Directed
Specialist, RSQT, or SQT' means a specialist, RSQT, or SQT that
receives a Directed Order.'' A Directed Participant has a higher
quoting requirement as compared with a specialist, SQT or RSQT who
is not acting as a Directed Participant. See Exchange Rule 1014.
\9\ See Exchange Rule 1080(l). ``* * * The term `Order Flow

2009), 74 FR 26750 (June 3, 2009) (SR-Phlx-2009-32).
\11\ In addition the Exchange notes that currently Registered
Option Traders (on-floor) and specialists that exceed 4.5 million
contracts (``Volume Threshold'') in a given month are assessed $.01
per contract on contract volume above the Volume Threshold instead
of the applicable options transaction charges.
\12\ See Exchange Rule 1080(l), ``* * * The term `Directed
Order' means any customer order (other than a stop or stop-limit
order as defined in Rule 1066) to buy or sell which has been
directed to a particular specialist, RSQT, or SQT by an Order Flow
Provider, as defined below. To qualify as a Directed Order, an order
must be delivered to the Exchange via AUTOM.'' See also See [sic]

terms AUTOM and AUTO-X with the Phlx XL System, such that references
to both terms refer to Phlx XL.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently, the Exchange assesses an equity option transaction
charge of $.08 per contract side for specialists and ROTs, including
SQTs and RSQTs, on contracts executed electronically as part of a
Complex Order in equity options. Market participants other than
specialists and ROTs are assessed the applicable current equity option
transaction charge. Complex Orders are currently assessed on a net
debit/credit basis and are billed on a per contract side basis,
regardless of the manner in which the order was delivered to the
Exchange.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its proposal to amend its schedule of
