of the Proposed Rule Change

    The CHX proposes to amend its Schedule of Participant Fees and

Fee credit currently paid to institutional brokers. The text of this

summaries, set forth in sections A, B and C below, of the most 
significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    Through this filing, the Exchange is proposing to alter its 
schedule of fees for Participants to repeal the Trade Processing Fee 
credit currently paid to institutional brokers. The Trade Processing 
Fee credit is a credit paid to CHX institutional brokers based upon the 
amount of Trade Processing Fees \5\ collected by the Exchange from the 
parties to a non-tape, clearing-only submission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Section E.7. of the CHX Schedule of Fees and Assessments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently, the Fee Schedule provides for a Trade Processing Fee 
credit of 4% per side of the Trade Processing Fees received by the 
Exchange paid to the originating broker, plus 12% of the Trade 
Processing Fees received by the Exchange paid to the broker of credit, 
for the portion(s) of the transaction handled by the broker of credit. 
The Exchange proposes to eliminate the Trade Processing Fee credit 
currently paid to institutional brokers while retaining the Trade 
Processing Fee charge to Participants for this service. The Exchange 
plans, under a different rule filing, to propose rules relating to non-
tape, clearing-only submissions and does not believe that it is 
appropriate to consider providing credits associated with Trade 
Processing Fees until these rules have been submitted to, and approved 
by, the Commission.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent 
with Section 6(b) of the Act \6\ in general, and furthers the 
objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \7\ in particular, in that it 
provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and 
other charges among its members. The Exchange plans, under a different 
rule filing, to propose rules relating to non-tape, clearing-only 
submissions and does not believe that it is appropriate to consider 
providing credits associated with Trade Processing Fees until these 
rules have been submitted to, and approved by, the Commission.

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 \8\ and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4 
thereunder \9\ because it establishes or changes a due, fee, or other 
charge applicable only to a member imposed by the self-regulatory 
organization. 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. If the Commission 
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to 
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
