Administration (SBA) is considering

Section
8(a)(17) of the Small Business Act (Act),

implementing regulations provide that
recipients of Federal contracts set aside
for small businesses, service-disabled
veteran-owned small businesses, or
Participants in the SBA’s 8(a) BD
Program must provide the product of a
small business manufacturer or
processor, if the recipient is other than
the actual manufacturer or processor of
the product. This requirement is
commonly referred to as the
Nonmanufacturer Rule. 13 CFR
121.406(b),125.15(c). Section
8(a)(17)(b)(iv) of the Act authorizes SBA
to waive the Nonmanufacturer Rule for
any ‘‘class of products’’ for which there
are no small business manufacturers or
processors available to participate in the
Federal market.
In order to be considered available to
participate in the Federal market for a
class of products, a small business
manufacturer must have submitted a
proposal for a contract solicitation or
received a contract from the Federal
government within the last 24 months.
13 CFR 121.1202(1). The SBA defines
‘‘class of products’’ based on Office of
Management and Budget’s NAICS. In

Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2
notice is hereby given that on March 31,
2010, NASDAQ OMX PHLX, Inc.
(‘‘Phlx’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘SEC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed
rule change 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
change from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to adopt fees
for a new type of participant called
‘‘professional.’’ 3
While changes to the Exchange’s Fee
Schedule pursuant to this proposal are

designated this proposal to be operative
on April 1, 2010.

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
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 adopt a new category of
fees, ‘‘professional.’’ The Exchange
believes that the proposed fees for
professional orders will allow the
Exchange to remain competitive with
other options exchanges who apply fees
to professional orders.
The Exchange defines a ‘‘professional’’
as any person or entity that (i) is not a
broker or dealer in securities, and (ii)
places more than 390 orders in listed
options per day on average during a
calendar month for its own beneficial
account(s) 4 (hereinafter ‘‘Professional’’).
The Exchange proposes to add a
‘‘Professional’’ fee category to its
transaction fees for equity options,
index options and foreign currency
options. The Exchange proposes to
amend Categories II, III and IV of the
Fee Schedule to assess a $0.20
transaction fee on Professional orders in
all equity option classes, a $0.35
transaction fee on Professional orders in
sector index options and a $0.30
transaction fee on Professional orders in
U.S. dollar-settled foreign currency
options.
4 A Professional will be treated in the same
manner as an off-floor broker-dealer for purposes of
Rules 1014(g) (except with respect to all-or-none
orders, which will be treated like customer orders),
1033(e), 1064.02 (except professional orders will be
considered customer orders subject to facilitation),
and 1080.08 as well as Options Floor Procedure
Advices B–6, B–11 and F–5. Member organizations
must indicate whether orders are for professionals.
