Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Amex LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Adding 75 Options Classes to the Penny Pilot Program, 48405-48407 [2010-19604]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 153 / Tuesday, August 10, 2010 / Notices quotation activity also tends to exacerbate the operational costs which the Exchange was seeking to avoid in creating the order cancellation fee. In order to better target the wide quotations which originally were causing the problems which led to the creation of the order cancellation fee, we are proposing to exempt ETP activity from the cancellation fee. The Exchange has observed that those firms entering the limited durational orders described above conduct much of their business on our trading facilities in ETP securities. By exempting ETP securities from the order cancellation fee, we would remove much of their incentive to submit quotable orders with a very limited lifespan. The fee would continue to apply to activity in all other securities where it appears to have the intended impact. The Exchange considered other alternatives, such as imposing a minimum duration on orders to qualify as ‘‘quotable’’ for purposes of the fee computation. The Exchange believes, however, that such a requirement would introduce an excessive amount of complexity to the determination of whether the order cancellation fee applies and could have the effect of discouraging Participants from sending any orders to the Exchange for display and execution. The proposed changes to the Cancellation Fee would go into effect on August 1, 2010. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act 7 in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act 8 in particular, in that it provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among its members. Among other things, the Exchange believes that the exclusion of ETP securities from the existing order cancellation fee should help the Exchange to better address the operational costs and burdens associated with the processing and storage of orders well outside the NBBO. sroberts on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES 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 Regarding the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others No written comments were either solicited or received. 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)(ii) of the Act 9 and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b–4 thereunder 10 because it establishes or changes a due, fee, or other charge applicable only to a member imposed by the self-regulatory organization. Accordingly, the proposal is effective upon Commission receipt of the filing. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend 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. IV.
