a minor change and should not impact
the quality of C2’s trading market.
Among other things, adjusted option
series are not common, and trading
interest is often very low after the
corporate event has passed.
Consequently, continuous quotes in
these series increase quote traffic and
burdens systems without a
corresponding benefit. By not requiring
Market-Makers to provide continuous
quotes in these series, the Exchange’s
proposal would further its goal of
measured quote mitigation. Further,
while they will not be tasked with
providing continuous quotes in these
series, Market-Makers must still quote
these series when requested by an
Exchange official. Accordingly, the
proposal supports the quality of C2’s
trading market by helping to ensure that
Market-Makers will continue to be
obligated to quote in adjusted option
series if and when the need arises.
These changes are consistent with the
rules of competing options exchanges,
and they serve to remove impediments
to and to perfect the mechanism for a
free and open market and a national
market system.
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
appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. In this regard, and
as indicated above, the Exchange notes
that the rule change is being proposed
as a competitive response to recent rule
changes of NYSE Amex, NYSE Arca and
PHLX.16 C2 believes this proposed rule
change is necessary to permit fair
competition among the options
exchanges with respect to MarketMakers’ continuous quoting obligations.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the

Statement of the Terms of the Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to amend its
Fees Schedule. The text of the proposed
rule change is available on the
Exchange’s Web site (https://
www.cboe.org/legal), at the Exchange’s
Office of the Secretary, and at the
Commission.
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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
1. Purpose
The Floor Broker Workstation
(‘‘FBW’’) is a system for electronically
entering and managing orders on the
Exchange floor. The Exchange has
improved the functionality of the FBW
to provide a new ‘‘Market Access
Controls Window’’ (the ‘‘Window’’) that
will display for each ‘‘FBW aggregation
group’’ 3 values for each of the following
access-based controls: Per Order
Controls, which include values for
(a) quantity of contracts per order,
(b) premium amount per order, (c)
number of identical orders, and (d)
frequency of order entry (count and
timeframe); and Aggregate Controls,
which include actual and predictive
values for (1) premium amount per day,
(2) quantity of contracts per day, and (3)
the number of orders with a status of
‘‘working’’. The Window will be an
optional feature of FBW and will be
provided to each CBOE Trading Permit
Holder (‘‘TPH’’) that requests the
Window (a ‘‘Requesting TPH’’).
The Exchange proposes to charge a
Requesting TPH $100 per Login ID per
month. There will be a cap of $2,000 per
month for any Requesting TPH.
Therefore, any TPH that requests access
to the FBW Market Access Controls
Window for more than 20 login IDs will
not be required to pay more than $2,000
per month for such access. The purpose
of the proposed fee is to recoup costs
involved in providing the Window,
which is licensed from an outside
vendor.
The proposed rule change filing is to
take effect December 1, 2011.
2. Statutory Basis
The proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,4
in general, and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(4) 5 of the Act in particular,
in that it is designed to provide for the
equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees, and other charges among CBOE
Trading Permit Holders and other
persons using Exchange facilities, and
the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) 6 of the
Act in particular in that it is not
designed to permit unfair
discrimination between customers,
issuers, brokers, or dealers. The
Exchange believes that the amount of
the proposed fee is reasonable because
it is within the range of fees assessed by
the Exchange for the use of other trading
floor terminal functionalities 7 and
because that amount is necessary to
recoup costs involved in providing the
Window, which is licensed from an
outside vendor. The Exchange believes
the proposed fee is equitable and not
unfairly discriminatory because the fee
would be optional and would be
applied uniformly to all CBOE Trading
Permit Holders that use the Window.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
CBOE does not believe that the
proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition 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 proposed rule change is
designated by the Exchange as
establishing or changing a due, fee, or
other charge, thereby qualifying for
effectiveness on filing pursuant to
4 15
3 An
FBW aggregation group is a grouping of FBW
users within a CBOE Trading Permit Holder firm.
Each FBW user has an FBW Login ID.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The

Approving Proposed Rule Change
With Respect to an Amendment to the
By-Laws of The NASDAQ OMX Group,
Inc.
November 28, 2011.
On October 11, 2011, The NASDAQ
Stock Market LLC (‘‘Exchange’’) filed
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant
to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule
19b–4 thereunder,2 a proposed rule
change to amend the by-laws of its
parent corporation, The NASDAQ OMX
Group, Inc. (‘‘NASDAQ OMX’’). The
proposed rule change was published for
comment in the Federal Register on
October 28, 2011.3 The Commission
received no comments on the proposal.
After careful review, the Commission
finds that the proposed rule change is
consistent with the requirements of the
Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to a national
securities exchange 4 and, in particular,
the requirements of Section 6(b)(5) of
the Act.5 The proposal will allow the
NASDAQ OMX Board of Directors
(‘‘Board’’) to determine the size of its
Audit Committee, so long as the Audit
Committee includes at least three
directors, as well as the size of its
Nominating & Governance Committee,
so long as the Nominating & Governance

Committee includes at least two
directors. The proposal is intended to
provide greater flexibility to the
NASDAQ OMX Board to determine the
appropriate size for these committees.
The Commission notes that the
proposed rule change maintains
compliance with the Exchange’s listing
standards. The proposal does not
change any other compositional
requirements of either the Audit
Committee or the Nominating &
Governance Committee, including
independence requirements. Moreover,
the Commission notes that the proposal
does not alter the application of Section
10A of the Exchange Act 6 and Rule
10A–3 thereunder 7 to the NASDAQ
OMX Audit Committee. The proposal
also deletes an obsolete section from,
and corrects a typographical error in,
the NASDAQ OMX by-laws, which are
clarifying revisions. For the foregoing
reasons, the Commission believes that
the proposed rule change is consistent
with the Act.
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,8 that the
proposed rule change (SR–NASDAQ–

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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
The Floor Broker Workstation (``FBW'') is a system for
electronically entering and managing orders on the Exchange floor. The
Exchange has improved the functionality of the FBW to provide a new
``Market Access Controls Window'' (the ``Window'') that will display
for each ``FBW aggregation group'' \3\ values for each of the following
access-based controls: Per Order Controls, which include values for (a)
quantity of contracts per order, (b) premium amount per order, (c)
number of identical orders, and (d) frequency of order entry (count and
timeframe); and Aggregate Controls, which include actual and predictive
values for (1) premium amount per day, (2) quantity of contracts per
day, and (3) the number of orders with a status of ``working''. The
Window will be an optional feature of FBW and will be provided to each
CBOE Trading Permit Holder (``TPH'') that requests the Window (a
``Requesting TPH'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ An FBW aggregation group is a grouping of FBW users within a
CBOE Trading Permit Holder firm. Each FBW user has an FBW Login ID.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Exchange proposes to charge a Requesting TPH $100 per Login ID
per month. There will be a cap of $2,000 per month for any Requesting
TPH. Therefore, any TPH that requests access to the FBW Market Access
Controls Window for more than 20 login IDs will not be required to pay
more than $2,000 per month for such access. The purpose of the proposed
fee is to recoup costs involved in providing the Window, which is
licensed from an outside vendor.
The proposed rule change filing is to take effect December 1, 2011.
2. Statutory Basis
The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the
Act,\4\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) \5\
of the Act in particular, in that it is designed to provide for the
equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among
CBOE Trading Permit Holders and other persons using Exchange
facilities, and the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) \6\ of the Act in
particular in that it is not designed to permit unfair discrimination
between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers. The Exchange believes
that the amount of the proposed fee is reasonable because it is within
the range of fees assessed by the Exchange for the use of other trading
floor terminal functionalities \7\ and because that amount is necessary
to recoup costs involved in providing the Window, which is licensed
from an outside vendor. The Exchange believes the proposed fee is
equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because the fee would be
optional and would be applied uniformly to all CBOE Trading Permit
Holders that use the Window.

burden on competition 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

The proposed rule change is designated by the Exchange as
establishing or changing a due, fee, or other charge, thereby
qualifying for effectiveness on filing pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)
of the Act \8\ and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4 \9\ thereunder. 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
