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. 1. Purpose The proposed rule change is based on a filing submitted by Chicago Board Options Exchange Incorporated (‘‘CBOE’’) that was recently approved by the Commission.4 The purpose of the proposed rule change is to expand the $1.00 Strike Program (‘‘Program’’) in a limited fashion to allow NYSE Arca to list new series in $1.00 intervals up to $5.00 in long-term option series (‘‘LEAPS’’) in up to 200 option classes on individual stocks. Currently, under the Program, NYSE Arca may not list LEAPS at $1.00 strike price intervals for any class selected for the Program. NYSE Arca also is restricted from listing any series that would result in strike prices being $0.50 apart, unless the series are part of the $0.50 Strike Program.5 NYSE Arca believes that this proposal is appropriate and will allow investors to establish option positions that are better tailored to meet their investment ` objectives, vis-a-vis credit risk, using deep out-of-the-money put options. Deep out-of-the-money put options are viewed as a viable, liquid alternative to OTC-traded credit default swaps (‘‘CDS’’). These options do not possess the negative characteristics associated with CDS, namely, lack of transparency, insufficient collateral requirements, and inefficient trade processing. Moreover, deep out-of-the-money put options and CDS are functionally similar, as there is a high correlation between low-strike put prices and CDS spreads.6 4 See Exchange Act Release No. 60978 (November 10, 2009), 74 FR 59296 (November 17, 2009) (approving SR–CBOE–2009–68). 5 See Exchange Act Release No. 60721 (September 25, 2009) 74 FR 50858 (October 1, 2009). 6 More information on this trading strategy may be found at the website of the CBOE at https:// www.cboe.com/institutional/DOOM.aspx. PO 00000 Frm 00086 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 62367 NYSE Arca notes that its proposal is limited in scope, as $1.00 strikes in LEAPS may only be listed up to $5.00 and in only 200 option classes. As is currently the case, NYSE Arca would not list series with $1.00 intervals within $0.50 of an existing $2.50 strike price in the same series. As a result, NYSE Arca does not believe this proposal will cause a significant increase in quote traffic. Moreover, as the Commission is aware, NYSE Arca has a vigorous quote mitigation strategy in place in an effort to lessen the growth rate of quotations. When it expanded the Program several months ago, NYSE Arca included a delisting policy that would be applicable with regard to this proposed expansion.7 NYSE Arca and the other options exchanges amended the Options Listing Procedures Plan (‘‘OLPP’’) in 2008 to impose a minimum volume threshold of 1,000 contracts national average daily volume per underlying class to qualify for an additional year of LEAP series.8 Most recently, NYSE Arca, along with the other options exchanges, amended the OLPP to adopt objective exercise price range limitations applicable to equity option classes, options on ETFs and options on trust issued receipts.9 NYSE Arca believes that these price range limitations will have a meaningful quote mitigation impact. The margin requirements of NYSE Arca Rule 4 and the position and exercise requirements set forth in Rule 6.8 and Rule 6.9 will continue to apply to these new series, and no changes are being proposed to those requirements by this rule change. With regard to the impact on system capacity, NYSE Arca has analyzed its capacity and represents that it and the Options Price Reporting Authority have the necessary systems capacity to handle the additional traffic associated with the listing and trading of an expanded number of series as proposed by this filing. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 7 The delisting policy includes a provision that states NYSE Arca may grant OTP Holder requests to add strikes and/or maintain strikes in series of options classes traded pursuant to the Program that are eligible for delisting. 8 See Exchange Act SEC Release No. 58630 (September 24, 2008), 73 FR 57166 (October 1, 2008). 9 See Exchange Act Release No. 60531 (August 19, 2009), 74 FR 43173 (August 26, 2009) (approving Amendment No. 3 to the OLPP). NYSE Arca’s proposal to list $1.00 strikes in LEAPS to $5.00 would not be subject to the exercise price range limitations contained in new paragraph (3)(g)(ii) of the OLPP. E:\FR\FM\27NON1.SGM 27NON1 62368 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 227 / Friday, November 27, 2009 / Notices 6(b) 10 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ‘‘Act’’), in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) 11 in particular in that it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts, to remove impediments to and to perfect the mechanism for a free and open market and a national market system and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest, by giving investors more flexibility to closely tailor their investment decisions. from CBOE which is identical to the current proposal in all material respects and on which no comments were received.15 Therefore, the proposal is operative upon filing. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. IV. Solicitation of Comments Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods: 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 Commission Action Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30 days after the date of the filing, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, it has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 12 and Rule 19b– 4(f)(6) thereunder.13 The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay. The Commission hereby grants that request.14 The Commission believes that waiver of the operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest because it recently approved a proposal 10 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).

The Commission has waived this requirement in this case. 14 For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay, the Commission has considered the proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of Filing 
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend the $1.00 
Strike Program To Allow Low-Strike LEAPS

November 19, 2009.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby 
given that on November 18, 2009, NYSE Arca, Inc. (``NYSE Arca'' or the 
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II 
below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. 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 Exchange proposes to amend Commentary .04 to Rule 6.4 Series of 
Options Open for Trading to permit the expansion of the $1.00 Strike 
Program. The text of the proposed rule change is attached as Exhibit 5 
to the 19b-4 form. A copy of this filing is available on the Exchange's 
Web site at https://www.nyse.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.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and the 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The proposed rule change is based on a filing submitted by Chicago 
Board Options Exchange Incorporated (``CBOE'') that was recently 
approved by the Commission.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Exchange Act Release No. 60978 (November 10, 2009), 74 
FR 59296 (November 17, 2009) (approving SR-CBOE-2009-68).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to expand the $1.00 
Strike Program (``Program'') in a limited fashion to allow NYSE Arca to 
list new series in $1.00 intervals up to $5.00 in long-term option 
series (``LEAPS'') in up to 200 option classes on individual stocks. 
Currently, under the Program, NYSE Arca may not list LEAPS at $1.00 
strike price intervals for any class selected for the Program. NYSE 
Arca also is restricted from listing any series that would result in 
strike prices being $0.50 apart, unless the series are part of the 
$0.50 Strike Program.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Exchange Act Release No. 60721 (September 25, 2009) 74 
FR 50858 (October 1, 2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NYSE Arca believes that this proposal is appropriate and will allow 
investors to establish option positions that are better tailored to 
meet their investment objectives, vis-[agrave]-vis credit risk, using 
deep out-of-the-money put options. Deep out-of-the-money put options 
are viewed as a viable, liquid alternative to OTC-traded credit default 
swaps (``CDS''). These options do not possess the negative 
characteristics associated with CDS, namely, lack of transparency, 
insufficient collateral requirements, and inefficient trade processing. 
Moreover, deep out-of-the-money put options and CDS are functionally 
similar, as there is a high correlation between low-strike put prices 
and CDS spreads.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ More information on this trading strategy may be found at 
the website of the CBOE at https://www.cboe.com/institutional/DOOM.aspx.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NYSE Arca notes that its proposal is limited in scope, as $1.00 
strikes in LEAPS may only be listed up to $5.00 and in only 200 option 
classes. As is currently the case, NYSE Arca would not list series with 
$1.00 intervals within $0.50 of an existing $2.50 strike price in the 
same series. As a result, NYSE Arca does not believe this proposal will 
cause a significant increase in quote traffic.
    Moreover, as the Commission is aware, NYSE Arca has a vigorous 
quote mitigation strategy in place in an effort to lessen the growth 
rate of quotations. When it expanded the Program several months ago, 
NYSE Arca included a delisting policy that would be applicable with 
regard to this proposed expansion.\7\ NYSE Arca and the other options 
exchanges amended the Options Listing Procedures Plan (``OLPP'') in 
2008 to impose a minimum volume threshold of 1,000 contracts national 
average daily volume per underlying class to qualify for an additional 
year of LEAP series.\8\ Most recently, NYSE Arca, along with the other 
options exchanges, amended the OLPP to adopt objective exercise price 
range limitations applicable to equity option classes, options on ETFs 
and options on trust issued receipts.\9\ NYSE Arca believes that these 
price range limitations will have a meaningful quote mitigation impact.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The delisting policy includes a provision that states NYSE 
Arca may grant OTP Holder requests to add strikes and/or maintain 
strikes in series of options classes traded pursuant to the Program 
that are eligible for delisting.
    \8\ See Exchange Act SEC Release No. 58630 (September 24, 2008), 
73 FR 57166 (October 1, 2008).
    \9\ See Exchange Act Release No. 60531 (August 19, 2009), 74 FR 
43173 (August 26, 2009) (approving Amendment No. 3 to the OLPP). 
NYSE Arca's proposal to list $1.00 strikes in LEAPS to $5.00 would 
not be subject to the exercise price range limitations contained in 
new paragraph (3)(g)(ii) of the OLPP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The margin requirements of NYSE Arca Rule 4 and the position and 
exercise requirements set forth in Rule 6.8 and Rule 6.9 will continue 
to apply to these new series, and no changes are being proposed to 
those requirements by this rule change.
    With regard to the impact on system capacity, NYSE Arca has 
analyzed its capacity and represents that it and the Options Price 
Reporting Authority have the necessary systems capacity to handle the 
additional traffic associated with the listing and trading of an 
expanded number of series as proposed by this filing.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with 
Section

[[Page 62368]]

6(b) \10\ of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act''), in 
general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) \11\ in 
particular in that it is designed to promote just and equitable 
principles of trade, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts, to 
remove impediments to and to perfect the mechanism for a free and open 
market and a national market system and, in general, to protect 
investors and the public interest, by giving investors more flexibility 
to closely tailor their investment decisions.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will 
impose any burden on competition that is 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 
Commission Action

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i) 
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public 
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) 
become operative for 30 days after the date of the filing, or such 
shorter time as the Commission may designate, if consistent with the 
protection of investors and the public interest, it has become 
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \12\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6) 
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission 
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along 
with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at 
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed 
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. 
The Commission has waived this requirement in this case.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day 
operative delay. The Commission hereby grants that request.\14\ The 
Commission believes that waiver of the operative delay is consistent 
with the protection of investors and the public interest because it 
recently approved a proposal from CBOE which is identical to the 
current proposal in all material respects and on which no comments were 
received.\15\ Therefore, the proposal is operative upon filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay, 
the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on 
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 
78c(f).
    \15\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 60978, supra note 
4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule 
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it 
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate 
in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise 
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and 
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule 
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
