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
The purpose of this rule change is to
accommodate a request made by
OneChicago LLC (‘‘ONE’’) to refine the
adjustment increment when stock
futures are adjusted in response to
corporate actions. Currently, the
adjustment increment for stock futures
is the minimum increment in settlement
prices, which is one cent ($.01). ONE
desires to change the adjustment
increment for stock futures to one
hundredth of a cent ($.0001). Daily
settlement prices and trade prices
would continue to be expressed in
pennies on a per-contract basis. This
change would affect any corporate
action for which settlement prices are
adjusted, including cash distributions.4
As an example of the intended
change, suppose a futures contract
settlement price needs to be adjusted to
reflect a $0.125 per share cash dividend.
If the per-share settlement price is
$50.00, the adjusted settlement price
would be $50.00¥$0.125 = $49.8750. If
the closing settlement price the
following day is $50.05, a mark-tomarket of $50.05¥$49.875 = $0.1750, or
$17.50 per contract, would result. Prior
to the change, the adjusted settlement
price of $49.875 would have been
rounded to $49.88. The resulting next
day mark-to-market would have been
$50.05¥$49.88 = $0.17, or $17.00 per
contract. In that case, $0.50 in mark-tomarket value would not have been
accounted for.
OCC states that the proposed change
is consistent with Section 17A of the
Act 5 because it facilitates the clearance
and settlement of stock futures
transactions by providing a more precise
calculation of the impact of certain
adjustments. OCC also states that the
proposed rule change is not inconsistent
with the existing rules of OCC including
any other rules proposed to be
amended.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
OCC does not believe that the
proposed rule change would impose any
burden on competition.

adjustments to stock futures.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants or Others
OCC has not solicited or received
written comments relating to the
proposed rule change. OCC will notify
the Commission of any written
comments it receives.
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)(iii) of the Act 6 and Rule
19b–4(f)(4) 7 thereunder because it
effects a change in an existing service of
a registered clearing agency that does
not adversely affect the safeguarding of
securities or funds in the custody or
control of the clearing agency or for
which it is responsible and does not
significantly affect the respective rights
or obligations of the clearing agency or
persons using the service. At any time
within 60 days of the filing of the
proposed rule change, the Commission
may summarily abrogate such rule 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.

proposed rule changes as described in
Items I, II and III below, which items
have been prepared by the Exchange.
The Commission is publishing this
notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule changes from interested
persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to amend its
2010 Price List to establish a fee in
connection with the reservation of booth
space as part of its Next Generation
Trading Floor renovation. The text of
the proposed rule change is available on
the Exchange’s Web site (https://
www.nyse.com), at the Exchange’s
Office of the Secretary, 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 these statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below.
The NYSE 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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
1. Purpose
The Exchange is in the process of
creating its ‘‘Next Generation Trading
Floor’’ by renovating Floor broker booths
that will utilize cutting edge technology
and will enable member organizations
to conduct all of their trading activities
(including non-NYSE trading) on the
Exchange’s trading floor. The first phase
of the Next Generation Trading Floor
has been completed and the first
member organization will occupy its
new booth space on March 8, 2010. This
new construction will allow member
organizations to blend the advantages of
an NYSE floor presence with those of an
upstairs trading desk. To defray a
portion of the costs of constructing the
Next Generation Trading Floor, the
Exchange proposes to permit member
organizations to reserve Next Generation
Trading Floor booth trading positions
on a first-come, first-served basis for a
reservation fee of $12,000 per position,
subject to a cap of $240,000 per member

organization. There is no limit on the
amount of Next Generation Trading
Floor booth space a member
organization may occupy, subject to
availability. The reservation fee is the
only new fee that member organizations
will be required to pay in connection
with their occupancy of Next
Generation Trading Floor booth space.
However, member organizations will
continue to be subject to the equipment
and other fees that are currently set
forth in the Exchange Price List.
The Exchange reserves the right to
establish a booth space rental fee at
some future date.1 If, in future, the
Exchange establishes a rental fee for
such booth space, a member
organization will be exempt from the
payment of rent with respect to any
trading position for which it has paid a
reservation fee until the third
anniversary of the date on which it took
possession of that trading position.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with
the objectives of Section 6 2 of the Act
in general and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(4) 3 in particular, in that it
is designed provide for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees and
other charges among its members and
other persons using its facilities. The
Exchange believes that the proposal
does not constitute an inequitable
allocation of dues, fees and other
charges, as all member organizations
will be able to reserve Next Generation
Trading Floor trading positions on the
same terms, on a first-come, first-served
basis.
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 purpose of the Act.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
Written comments were neither
solicited nor received.
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) 4 of the Act and Rule 19b–
4(f)(2) 5 thereunder.
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.

The following definitions apply to
Chapter VI for the trading of options

NASDAQ OMX PHLX, Inc. (‘‘PHLX’’)
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The
NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (‘‘NASDAQ
OMX’’), a Delaware corporation.
NASDAQ OMX also indirectly owns
NASDAQ Options Services, LLC (‘‘NOS’’
or the ‘‘Routing Facility’’), a registered
broker-dealer and a PHLX member.
Thus, NOS is deemed an affiliate of
PHLX.
b. Affiliation and Order Routing
Nasdaq is proposing that NOS be
permitted to route Exchange Direct
Orders in System Securities 4 to PHLX
without checking the NOM book prior
to routing. Exchange Direct Orders are
orders that route directly to other
options markets on an immediate-or
cancel basis without first checking the
NOM book for liquidity.5 In addition,
the proposed rule change would permit
the routing by NOS of orders (including
Exchange Direct Orders) in Non-System
Securities from NOM to PHLX.
NOS is the approved outbound
routing facility of Nasdaq for NOM.
Under NOM Rule Chapter VI, Section
11: (1) NOM routes orders in options via
NOS, which serves as the sole ‘‘Routing
Facility’’ of NOM; (2) the sole function
of the Routing Facility is to route orders
in options to away markets pursuant to
NOM rules, solely on behalf of NOM; (3)
NOS is a member of an unaffiliated selfregulatory organization, which is the
designated examining authority for the
broker-dealer; (4) the Routing Facility is
subject to regulation as a facility of
Nasdaq, including the requirement to
file proposed rule changes under
Section 19 of the Act; (5) NOM must
establish and maintain procedures and
internal controls reasonably designed to
adequately restrict the flow of
confidential and proprietary
information between Nasdaq and its
facilities (including the Routing
Facility), and any other entity; and (6)
the books, records, premises, officers,
directors, agents, and employees of the
Routing Facility, as a facility of Nasdaq,
shall be deemed to be the books,
records, premises, officers, directors,
agents, and employees of Nasdaq for
4 Pursuant to Chapter VI, Section 1(b), ‘‘System
Securities’’ are all options that are currently trading
on NOM pursuant to Chapter IV of the NOM rules.
All other options are ‘‘Non-System Securities.’’
