Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 49 / Monday, March 15, 2010 / Notices
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
Currently, the Exchange charges a
monthly fee of $1,000 per Amex Trading
Permit (‘‘ATP’’) for options Market
Makers. Effective March 1, 2010 the
Exchange proposes to raise the monthly
cost of an ATP for Market Makers to
$5,000. This purpose of this new rate,
which applies equally to all Market
Maker ATP Holders, is to accurately
reflect the current value of participating
on the NYSE Amex options
marketplace. The Exchange was
purchased by NYSE Euronext on
October 1, 2008. Following the
Exchange’s purchase by NYSE Euronext,
the Exchange underwent a number of
important changes. These changes
include: the migration of the trading,
connectivity, and routing technologies
onto NYSE Group platforms; a new state
of the art trading facility located at 11
Wall Street; and the adoption of a
Trading License model to access the
marketplace. The Exchange believes
these changes brought significant
benefits to participation in the NYSE
Amex options marketplace. Among
other indicia of the enhanced benefits to
market participation, the Exchange’s
equity option market share increased
from 6.3% to 12.8% during the period
starting January 2009 to January 2010.
Consequently, the Exchange believes the
amended pricing is designed to
accurately reflect the current benefits to
ATP Holders.
The Exchange is also proposing to
decrease the per contract rate paid by
Non-Directed Market Makers from $.18
to $.17 per contract. This reverses the
change implemented on February 1,
2010 that increased that fee from $.17 to
$.18 per contract.
emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with
the provisions of Section 6 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
‘‘Act’’),3 in general, and Section 6(b)(4)
of the Act,4 in particular, in that it is
designed to provide for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and
other charges among its members and
other persons using its facilities. The
proposed fees are reasonable and apply
equally to all similarly situated ATP
Holders.
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 either
solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The foregoing rule change is effective
upon filing pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) 5 of the Act and
subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b–4 6
thereunder, because it establishes a due,
fee, or other charge imposed by the
NYSE Amex.
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.

submit written data, views, and

including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act.

Act 3 and Rule 19b–4(f)(2) thereunder,4
which renders the proposal effective
upon filing with the Commission. 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 CHX proposes to amend its
Schedule of Participant Fees and
Assessments (the ‘‘Fee Schedule’’),
effective March 3, 2010, to change its
transaction fees and rebates to Exchange
Participants for transactions involving
issues priced less than one dollar that
occur within the Exchange’s Matching
System. The text of the proposed rule
change is available on the Exchange’s
Web site at https://www.chx.com/rules/

Commission’s Web site at https://
www.sec.gov, at CHX, and at the

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
CHX included statements concerning
the purpose of and basis for the
proposed rule changes and discussed
any comments it received regarding the
proposal. The text of these statements
may be examined at the places specified
in Item IV below. The CHX 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
Through this filing, the Exchange
would amend its Fee Schedule to
increase the provide credit to Exchange
Participants for transactions involving
issues priced less than one dollar that
occur within the Exchange’s Matching
System.
The Exchange proposes to increase
the provide credit in the transactions
described above from 0.15% to 0.25% of
the trade value.5 Due to this increased
provide credit and the fact that tiered
pricing does not apply to transactions in
3 15
U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).

‘‘a dollar amount equal to the price per share
multiplied by the number of shares executed.’’

issues priced under $1, the Exchange
proposes to exclude transactions in
issues priced under $1 from the
calculation of a Participant’s average
daily volume (‘‘ADV’’) for monthly
tiered pricing purposes. The Exchange
believes that the increased rebate will
help attract additional orders to be
displayed and executed on our trading
facilities. The Exchange notes that some
of our competitors have recently raised
their provide rebates for securities
priced under $1, and that our proposed
increase will help us remain
competitive with these entities.6
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b) of the Act 7 in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4)
of the Act 8 in particular, in that it
provides for the equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees and other charges
among its members. Among other
things, the change to the fee schedule
would provide incentives to
Participants to increase the amount of
liquidity provided on our trading
facilities for securities priced less than
$1, which may contribute to an increase
in trading volume on the Exchange and
in the income derived therefrom.
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 either
solicited or received.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The foregoing rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section
19(B)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act 9 and
subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b–4
thereunder 10 because it establishes or
changes a due, fee, or other charge
applicable only to a member imposed by
the self-regulatory organization.
Accordingly, the proposal is effective

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change
The CHX proposes to amend its Schedule of Participant Fees and
Assessments (the ``Fee Schedule''), effective March 3, 2010, to change
its transaction fees and rebates to Exchange Participants for
transactions involving issues priced less than one dollar that occur
within the Exchange's Matching System. The text of the proposed rule
change is available on the Exchange's Web site at https://www.chx.com/rules/proposed_rules.htm, on the Commission's Web site at https://www.sec.gov, at CHX, 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 CHX included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule changes and
discussed any comments it received regarding the proposal. The text of
these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV
below. The CHX 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
Through this filing, the Exchange would amend its Fee Schedule to
increase the provide credit to Exchange Participants for transactions
involving issues priced less than one dollar that occur within the
Exchange's Matching System.
The Exchange proposes to increase the provide credit in the
transactions described above from 0.15% to 0.25% of the trade value.\5\
Due to this increased provide credit and the fact that tiered pricing
does not apply to transactions in issues priced under $1, the Exchange
proposes to exclude transactions in issues priced under $1 from the
calculation of a Participant's average daily volume (``ADV'') for
monthly tiered pricing purposes. The Exchange believes that the
increased rebate will help attract additional orders to be displayed
and executed on our trading facilities. The Exchange notes that some of
our competitors have recently raised their provide rebates for
securities priced under $1, and that our proposed increase will help us
remain competitive with these entities.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ ``Trade value'' is defined in our Fee Schedule as ``a dollar
amount equal to the price per share multiplied by the number of
shares executed.''
\6\ The National Stock Exchange raised its provide credit to
0.25% for transactions under $1 in Tape A, B and C securities
beginning in the month of February 2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act \7\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \8\ in particular, in that it
provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and
other charges among its members. Among other things, the change to the
fee schedule would provide incentives to Participants to increase the
amount of liquidity provided on our trading facilities for securities
priced less than $1, which may contribute to an increase in trading
volume on the Exchange and in the income derived therefrom.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 either solicited or received.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(B)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \9\ and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder \10\ because it establishes or changes a due, fee, or other
charge applicable only to a member imposed by the self-regulatory
organization. Accordingly, the proposal is effective upon Commission
receipt of the filing. At any time within 60 days of the filing of such
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 purpose of the Act.
