Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 124 / Tuesday, June 29, 2010 / Notices
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES4
1. Purpose
The purpose of this filing is to
eliminate the guaranteed allocation for
Lead Market Makers (‘‘LMM’’s) and
Directed Order Market Makers
(‘‘DOMM’’s) under certain
circumstances.
Currently, under Rule 6.76A, a LMM
(or DOMM) will receive a guaranteed
allocation of 40% of an incoming
marketable order, including 40% of the
balance of an order after any customer
orders ranked ahead of the LMM (or
DOMM) are filled, provided the LMM
(or DOMM) is quoting at the National
Best Bid/Offer (‘‘NBBO’’).
The Exchange proposes to amend
Rule 6.76A to provide that LMMs (or
DOMMs) will only receive the 40%
guaranteed allocation if there are no
resting Customer orders ranked ahead of
the LMM (or DOMM).
At the time of the introduction of the
OX system, the market structure
rewarded LMMs for providing
competitive quotes by giving them a
40% guarantee ahead of higher ranked
non-Customers when Customer orders
were ahead of the LMM in time ranking.
This encouraged the LMM to join the
customer price and augment the
customer price with the LMM’s added
size.
As market participants have evolved,
however, the Exchange has found that
the guarantee after satisfying Customer
trading interest ahead of the LMM in
priority has discouraged other noncustomer trading interests that wish to
aggressively price orders to set the
NBBO. NYSE Arca clients have
submitted orders that set a new price,
only to find themselves receiving a
small portion of an incoming order after
it fills Customers and 40% of the
balance is allocated to the LMM.
The Exchange still views as necessary
granting the LMM (or DOMM) 40% of
incoming orders when no Customer
orders are present, in return for the
enhanced quoting obligations of LMMs
and DOMMs.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section
6(b) 4 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ‘‘Act’’), in general, and furthers
the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) 5 in
particular in that it is designed to
promote just and equitable principles of

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 proposed
rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Within 35 days of the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register or within such longer period (i)
as the Commission may designate up to
90 days of such date if it finds such
longer period to be appropriate and
publishes its reasons for so finding or
(ii) as to which the self-regulatory
organization consents, the Commission
will:
(A) By order approve the proposed
rule change, or
(B) Institute proceedings to determine
whether the proposed rule change
should be disapproved.
IV. Solicitation of Comments
Interested persons are invited to
submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing,
including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act.
Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

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
public interest. The Exchange believes
that eliminating the LMM or DOMM
40% guarantee when Customers are
ahead in the Consolidated Book will
enhance competition amongst nonCustomers.

Medicare Part B Income-Related
Premium—Life-Changing Event Form—
0960–0735. Per the Medicare
Modernization Act of 2003, selected
recipients of Medicare Part B insurance
pay an income-related monthly
adjustment amount (IRMAA). The
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) transmits
income tax return data to SSA in order
for SSA to determine the amount of
IRMAA. SSA uses Form SSA–44 to
determine if a recipient qualifies for a
reduction in IRMMA. If affected
Medicare Part B recipients believe SSA
should use more recent tax data because
a life-changing event occurred that
significantly reduces their income, they
can report these changes to SSA and ask
for a new initial determination of their
IRMAA.
In this Information Collection
Request, we are clearing minor changes
