Download as PDF 54926 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 174 / Thursday, September 9, 2010 / Notices trade, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and, in general to protect investors and the public interest, by allowing the Exchange to have uniform position limit procedures. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The proposed rule change does not 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 The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit, comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested parties. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action Because the foregoing 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 for 30 days after the date of the filing, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 9 and Rule 19b– 4(f)(6) thereunder.10 A proposed rule change filed under 19b–4(f)(6) normally may not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of filing.11 However, Rule 19b– 4(f)(6)(iii) 12 permits the Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal may become operative immediately upon filing, thereby giving the Exchange a position limit process that can recognize exemptions granted by other exchanges. The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent 9 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 11 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). In addition, Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) requires that a self-regulatory organization submit to the Commission written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief description and text of 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 Exchange has satisfied this requirement. 12 Id. mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES 10 17 VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:24 Sep 08, 2010 Jkt 220001 with the protection of investors and the public interest because such waiver will afford Exchange members the benefit of the proposal—the ability to rely on exemptions granted by other exchanges, when appropriately documented— without unnecessary delay. For this reason, the Commission designates the proposed rule change as operative under upon filing.13 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. provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552, will be available for Web site viewing and printing in the Commission’s Public Reference Room, 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549 on official business days between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Copies of the filing also will be available for inspection and copying at the principal office of the ISE.

For securities with a per share price of $1.00 or more, the fee will increase from $0.0007 per share executed to $0.00085 per share executed.

The Exchange notes that The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (‘‘NASDAQ’’) recently made a similar filing increasing the fee VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:24 Sep 08, 2010 Jkt 220001 that it charges for MOC and LOC orders in its closing cross from $0.0007 per share executed to $0.0010 per share executed.4 The Exchange also proposes to lower the fee for taking liquidity from the Exchange from $0.0021 per share executed to $0.0013 per share executed for NASDAQ securities with a share price of $1.00 or more that trade on the Exchange pursuant to UTP. This fee reduction for such transactions in NASDAQ securities will apply to all market participants as well as to Designated Market Makers and Supplemental Liquidity Providers.

Finally, because full implementation has now been achieved of the Exchange’s recently approved rule changes providing for incorporation of the receipt and execution of odd-lot interest into the round lot market and decommissioning the use of the odd-lot system,5 the Exchange is taking this opportunity to delete several obsolete references in its 2010 Price List to separate execution pricing for odd lot interest and the odd lot portions of partial round lots. These changes are intended to be effective immediately for all transactions beginning September 1, 2010. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the provisions of Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ‘‘Act’’),6 in general, and Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,7 in particular, in that it is designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its members and other persons using its facilities. The Exchange believes that the proposal does not constitute an inequitable allocation of fees, as all similarly situated member organizations will be charged the same amount and access to the Exchange’s market is offered on fair and non-discriminatory terms. Further, with respect to the proposed fee change for MOC and LOC orders that are executed in the Exchange’s closing transaction, a competing exchange also recently implemented a similar fee 4 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 62592 (July 29, 2010), 75 FR 47053 (August 4, 2010) (SR– NASDAQ–2010–095). 5 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 62578 (July 27, 2010), 75 FR 45185 (August 2, 2010) (SR– NYSEAmex–2010–53). 6 15 U.S.C. 78f(b) [sic]. 7 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).

increase from $0.0007 per share executed to $0.00085 per share

available at the Exchange, at https://www.nyse.com, at the Commission's 
Public Reference Room, 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 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend its 2010 Price List for equities to 
modify the fees it charges for all MOC and LOC orders executed in the 
Exchange's closing transaction. For securities with a per share price 
of $1.00 or more, the fee will increase from $0.0007 per share executed 
to $0.00085 per share executed. For securities with a per share price 
below $1.00 per share, the fee will change from (A) the lesser of (i) 
$0.0007 per share executed and (ii) 0.25% of the total dollar value of 
the transaction to (B) the lesser of (i) $0.00085 per share executed 
and (ii) 0.25% of the total dollar value of the transaction. The 
Exchange notes that The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (``NASDAQ'') recently 
made a similar filing increasing the fee that it charges for MOC and 
LOC orders in its closing cross from $0.0007 per share executed to 
$0.0010 per share executed.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 62592 (July 29, 
2010), 75 FR 47053 (August 4, 2010) (SR-NASDAQ-2010-095).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also proposes to lower the fee for taking liquidity 
from the Exchange from $0.0021 per share executed to $0.0013 per share 
executed for NASDAQ securities with a share price of $1.00 or more that 
trade on the Exchange pursuant to UTP. This fee reduction for such 
transactions in NASDAQ securities will apply to all market participants 
as well as to Designated Market Makers and Supplemental Liquidity 
Providers. There will be no changes to the rebates for adding liquidity 
for trades on the Exchange in NASDAQ securities pursuant to UTP.
    Finally, because full implementation has now been achieved of the 
Exchange's recently approved rule changes providing for incorporation 
of the receipt and execution of odd-lot interest into the round lot 
market and decommissioning the use of the odd-lot system,\5\ the 
Exchange is taking this opportunity to delete several obsolete 
references in its 2010 Price List to separate execution pricing for odd 
lot interest and the odd lot portions of partial round lots.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 62578 (July 27, 
2010), 75 FR 45185 (August 2, 2010) (SR-NYSEAmex-2010-53).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    These changes are intended to be effective immediately for all 
transactions beginning September 1, 2010.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent 
with the provisions of Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
(the ``Act''),\6\ in general, and Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\7\ in 
particular, in that it is designed to provide for the equitable 
allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its 
members and other persons using its facilities. The Exchange believes 
that the proposal does not constitute an inequitable allocation of 
fees, as all similarly situated member organizations will be charged 
the same amount and access to the Exchange's market is offered on fair 
and non-discriminatory terms. Further, with respect to the proposed fee 
change for MOC and LOC orders that are executed in the Exchange's 
closing transaction, a competing exchange also recently implemented a 
similar fee change for its market participants, as described above.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The foregoing rule change is effective upon filing pursuant to 
Section 19(b)(3)(A) \8\ of the Act and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-
4 \9\ thereunder, because it establishes a due, fee, or other charge 
imposed by the NYSE Amex.

    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. Solicitation of Comments
