In addition: (i) A PMM may not be allocated a total quantity greater than the quantity that the PMM is quoting at the best bid/offer on the Exchange; (ii) the participation entitlement rate is based on the number of contracts remaining after all public customer orders in the book at the best bid/offer on the Exchange have been satisfied; and (iii) if a Preferred Market-Maker receives a PMM participation entitlement, then no other participation entitlements shall apply to such order. PMMs will be subject to heightened quoting requirements. More specifically, PMMs must comply with the quoting obligations applicable under Exchange rules and must provide continuous electronic quotes in at least 90% of the series of each class for which it receives Preferred Market-Maker orders.6 Proposed Rule 8.13 also allows the Exchange to implement a PMM program for complex orders. The program is substantially similar to the program for straight orders and is identical to the program in place for CBOE. Corresponding changes to Rule 6.12 are also proposed to ensure that the order execution and priority rule contemplates a participation entitlement for PMMs. sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Exchange Act in general and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) in particular in that, by making the linkage process more efficient and ensuring certain safeguards are in place when routing firms are used, it should promote just and equitable principles of trade, serve to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and protect investors and the public interest. Moreover, the Exchange believes that adopting these rules will facilitate the trading of options in a national market system by establishing more transparent routing guidelines, and will facilitate the ability of preferred Market-Makers to provide deeper liquidity. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition C2 does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition not necessary or 6 Under Rule 8.5(a)(1), C2 Market-Makers must maintain a continuous (99% of the time) two-sided market in 60% of the series of each registered class that have time to expiration of less than nine months. VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:02 May 04, 2010 Jkt 220001 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 The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the proposal. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action Because the foregoing rule 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 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, provided that the selfregulatory organization has given the Commission written notice of its intent to file 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 proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 7 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.8 At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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.
