Purpose The purpose of this filing is to amend Rule 903 and adopt Rule 903A to apply uniform objective standards to the range of options series exercise (or strike) prices available for trading on the Exchange, and to amend Rule 903 Commentary .03 to delineate the timing for adding new Long Term Equity Option Series. The Exchange is also proposing to remove provisions in Commentary .03 related to Short Term Option Series and place those provisions in new Commentary .10. Commentary .10 will only contain provisions previously approved by the Commission.3 The Options Listing Procedures Plan (‘‘OLPP’’) was approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) on July 6, 2001 and has been amended several times.4 The OLPP provides procedures for: (i) Listing and trading new option classes; (ii) selecting new options series; (iii) petitioning The Options Clearing Corporation (‘‘OCC’’) to review the eligibility, pursuant to the exchanges’ listing standards, of a selected option class without delaying the trading of that option class; (iv) determining operational details for option contracts adjusted pursuant to OCC By-Laws; (v) admitting new sponsors; and (vi) losing eligibility to participate in the OLPP. This current filing is primarily concerned with codifying certain provisions of the OLPP pertaining to selecting new option series and certain strike setting parameters that have been adopted under the OLPP. The Exchange believes that it is helpful to codify select provisions into NYSE Amex’s rules so 3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 52014 (July 12, 2005) 70 FR 41244 (July 18, 2005). 4 See e.g., Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 44521 (July 6, 2001), 66 FR 36809 (July 13, 2001) (order approving OLPP); 58205 (July 22, 2008), 73 FR 43798 (July 28, 2008) (order granting permanent approval to amendment no. 1 to the OLPP); 58630 (September 24, 2008) 73 FR 57166 (October 1, 2008) (order granting permanent approval to amendment no. 2 to the OLPP); and 60531 (August 19, 2009), 74 FR 43173 (August 26, 2009) (order approving amendment no. 3 to the OLPP). PO 00000 Frm 00151 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 that all applicable rules governing series selection and applicable strike setting parameters are located in a single place. In addition, the Exchange understands that other Sponsor Exchanges to the OLPP will be submitting similar filings to codify portions of the OLPP in their respective rulebooks. Below the Exchange briefly describes the provisions of the OLPP that the Exchange is proposing to codify into NYSE Amex’s rules. OLPP Amendments Pertaining to LEAPS Amendments 1 and 2 to the OLPP adopted provisions governing the listing of Long-Term Equity Option Series (‘‘LEAPS’’). Amendment 1 provided for a uniform time frame for the introduction of new LEAPS on equity option classes, options on exchange traded funds (‘‘ETFs’’), or options on Trust Issued Receipts (‘‘TIRs’’). Amendment 2 provided for a uniform minimum volume threshold per underlying class to qualify for the introduction of a new expiration year of LEAPs on equity, ETF and TIR classes. The Exchange is proposing to codify the changes made to the OLPP by Amendments 1 and 2 by amending Rule 903 Commentary .03. Strike Setting Parameters Amendment 3 to the OLPP adopted uniform objective standards to the range of options series exercise (or strike) prices available for trading on Sponsor Exchanges to the OLPP as a quote mitigation strategy. The Exchange is proposing to codify the changes made to the OLPP by Amendment 3 by inserting a reference in Rule 903 and by adopting new Rule 903A, Select Provisions of Options Listing Procedures Plan. The Exchange is proposing to create a new rule that can be easily amended in the future if other amendments to the OLPP are made which similarly warrant being codified into NYSE Amex’s rules. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) 5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ‘‘Act’’), in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) 6 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 5 15 6 15 E:\FR\FM\30APN1.SGM U.S.C. 78f(b).

and on the Commission's Web site at https://www.sec.gov.

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 purpose of this filing is to amend Rule 903 and adopt Rule 903A 
to apply uniform objective standards to the range of options series 
exercise (or strike) prices available for trading on the Exchange, and 
to amend Rule 903 Commentary .03 to delineate the timing for adding new 
Long Term Equity Option Series. The Exchange is also proposing to 
remove provisions in Commentary .03 related to Short Term Option Series 
and place those provisions in new Commentary .10. Commentary .10 will 
only contain provisions previously approved by the Commission.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 52014 (July 12, 
2005) 70 FR 41244 (July 18, 2005).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Options Listing Procedures Plan (``OLPP'') was approved by the 
Securities and Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'') on July 6, 2001 
and has been amended several times.\4\ The OLPP provides procedures 
for: (i) Listing and trading new option classes; (ii) selecting new 
options series; (iii) petitioning The Options Clearing Corporation 
(``OCC'') to review the eligibility, pursuant to the exchanges' listing 
standards, of a selected option class without delaying the trading of 
that option class; (iv) determining operational details for option 
contracts adjusted pursuant to OCC By-Laws; (v) admitting new sponsors; 
and (vi) losing eligibility to participate in the OLPP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See e.g., Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 44521 (July 
6, 2001), 66 FR 36809 (July 13, 2001) (order approving OLPP); 58205 
(July 22, 2008), 73 FR 43798 (July 28, 2008) (order granting 
permanent approval to amendment no. 1 to the OLPP); 58630 (September 
24, 2008) 73 FR 57166 (October 1, 2008) (order granting permanent 
approval to amendment no. 2 to the OLPP); and 60531 (August 19, 
2009), 74 FR 43173 (August 26, 2009) (order approving amendment no. 
3 to the OLPP).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This current filing is primarily concerned with codifying certain 
provisions of the OLPP pertaining to selecting new option series and 
certain strike setting parameters that have been adopted under the 
OLPP. The Exchange believes that it is helpful to codify select 
provisions into NYSE Amex's rules so that all applicable rules 
governing series selection and applicable strike setting parameters are 
located in a single place. In addition, the Exchange understands that 
other Sponsor Exchanges to the OLPP will be submitting similar filings 
to codify portions of the OLPP in their respective rulebooks. Below the 
Exchange briefly describes the provisions of the OLPP that the Exchange 
is proposing to codify into NYSE Amex's rules.
OLPP Amendments Pertaining to LEAPS
    Amendments 1 and 2 to the OLPP adopted provisions governing the 
listing of Long-Term Equity Option Series (``LEAPS''). Amendment 1 
provided for a uniform time frame for the introduction of new LEAPS on 
equity option classes, options on exchange traded funds (``ETFs''), or 
options on Trust Issued Receipts (``TIRs''). Amendment 2 provided for a 
uniform minimum volume threshold per underlying class to qualify for 
the introduction of a new expiration year of LEAPs on equity, ETF and 
TIR classes. The Exchange is proposing to codify the changes made to 
the OLPP by Amendments 1 and 2 by amending Rule 903 Commentary .03.
Strike Setting Parameters
    Amendment 3 to the OLPP adopted uniform objective standards to the 
range of options series exercise (or strike) prices available for 
trading on Sponsor Exchanges to the OLPP as a quote mitigation 
strategy. The Exchange is proposing to codify the changes made to the 
OLPP by Amendment 3 by inserting a reference in Rule 903 and by 
adopting new Rule 903A, Select Provisions of Options Listing Procedures 
Plan. The Exchange is proposing to create a new rule that can be easily 
amended in the future if other amendments to the OLPP are made which 
similarly warrant being codified into NYSE Amex's rules.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with 
Section 6(b) \5\ of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act''), 
in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) \6\ 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

[[Page 22887]]

public interest. The Exchange believes that codifying certain 
provisions of the OLPP, as amended, serves to foster investor 
protection.

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

Commission Action

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section 
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\8\ 
Because the 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 prior to 
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as 
the Commission may designate if consistent with the protection of 
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become 
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\10\
