Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2 notice is hereby given that on April 10, 2012, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (the ‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘CBOE’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of 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’s Public Reference Room. 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 Exchange 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 these 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 aspects 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 waive the CMI and FIX Login ID fees through September 30, 2012 for CMI and FIX Login IDs used to access the Exchange’s [FR Doc. 2012–9580 Filed 4–19–12; 8:45 am] 1 15 BILLING CODE 7590–01–P 2 17 VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:17 Apr 19, 2012 Jkt 226001 PO 00000 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

CMI Client Application Servers and FIX Ports are used by Exchange Trading Permit Holders (‘‘TPHs’’) to access CBOEdirect, which is the platform provided by the Exchange to connect to Exchange systems. The Exchange assesses a fee of $500 per month for each CMI or FIX Login ID that a TPH uses to access CBOEdirect (and $1000 per month for each CMI or FLEX Login ID that a Sponsored User uses to access CBOEdirect). The Exchange is in the process of enhancing the CFLEX System in order to further integrate it with the Exchange’s existing CBOEdirect technology platform.4 As part of these enhancements, TPHs will connect to the CFLEX System through CBOEdirect, and will need to get either a CMI or FIX Login ID to do so.5 As such, the Exchange proposes the Waiver in order to encourage TPHs to trade on the CFLEX System. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.6 Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,7 which provides that Exchange rules may provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its TPHs and other persons using its facilities. The Waiver is reasonable because it will allow all TPHs trading FLEX Options on the CFLEX System to avoid having to 3 Flexible Exchange Options (‘‘FLEX Options’’) provide investors with the ability to customize basic option features including size, expiration date, exercise style, and certain exercise prices. FLEX Options can be FLEX Index Options or FLEX Equity Options. In addition, other products are permitted to be traded pursuant to the FLEX trading procedures. For example, credit options are eligible for trading as FLEX Options pursuant to the FLEX rules in Chapters XXIVA and XXIVB. See CBOE Rules 24A.1(e) and (f), 24A.4(b)(1) and (c)(1), 24B.1(f) and (g), 24B.4(b)(1) and (c)(1), and 28.17. The rules governing the trading of FLEX Options on the FLEX Request for Quote (‘‘RFQ’’) System platform (which is limited to open outcry trading only) are contained in Chapter XXIVA. The rules governing the trading of FLEX Options on the FLEX Hybrid Trading System platform (which combines both open outcry and electronic trading) are contained in Chapter XXIVB. The Exchange notes that, currently, all FLEX Options are traded on the FLEX Hybrid Trading System platform. 4 See, e.g., SR–CBOE–2012–033. 5 TPHs may also access the CFLEX System using an internet-based application. There is currently no login fee associated with the internet-based application. 6 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). 7 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4). E:\FR\FM\20APN1.SGM 20APN1
