I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend the Rules of the Boston Options
Exchange Group, LLC (``BOX'') to make permanent its Quarterly Option
Series pilot program (``QOS Program''). The text of the proposed rule
change is available from the principal office of the Exchange, at the
Commission's Public Reference Room and also on the Exchange's Internet
Web site at http://nasdaqomxbx.cchwallstreet.com/NASDAQOMXBX/Filings/.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, Phlx 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. Phlx 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 is proposing to make the QOS Program permanent. On
July 17, 2007, the Exchange filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') SR-BSE-2007-36, which was effective on
filing and established the QOS Program.\5\ The QOS

Program allows BOX to list and trade Quarterly Option Series, which
expire at the close of business on the last business day or a calendar
quarter. Under the QOS Program, BOX may select up to five (5) currently
listed exchange traded fund (``ETF'') or index option classes on which
Quarterly Option Series may be opened. In addition, BOX may also list
Quarterly Option Series on any options classes that are selected by
other securities exchanges that employ a similar pilot program under
their respective rules. The Exchange may list series that expire at the
end of the next consecutive four (4) calendar quarters, as well as the
fourth quarter of the next calendar year. For example, if the Exchange
is trading Quarterly Options Series in the month of May 2009, it may
list series that expire at the end of the second, third, and fourth
quarters of 2009, as well as the first and fourth quarters of 2010.
Following the second quarter 2009 expiration, the Exchange could add
series that expire at the end of the second quarter of 2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56086 (July 17,
2007), 72 FR 40182 (July 23, 2007) (SR-BSE-2007-36). The QOS Program
has since been extended and is currently scheduled to expire on July
10, 2009. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 58131 (July 9,
2008), 73 FR 41138 (July 17, 2008) (SR-BSE-2008-37) (Immediately
effective rule change extending the QOS Program through July 10,
2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Quarterly Option Series are P.M. settled.

Quarterly Option Series in ETF Options

    If an ETF option is selected for participation in the QOS Program,
the strike price of each Quarterly Option Series is fixed at a price
per share, with at least two strike prices above and two strike prices
below the approximate value of the underlying security at about the
time the Quarterly Options Series is opened for trading on the
Exchange. BOX shall list strikes prices for a Quarterly Option series
that are within $5 from the closing price of the underlying on the
preceding day.
    The Exchange may open for trading additional Quarterly Options
Series of the same class when the Exchange deems is necessary to
maintain an orderly market, to meet customer demand or when the market
price of the underlying security moves substantially from the initial
exercise price or prices. To the extent that any additional strike
prices are listed by the Exchange, such additional strike prices shall
be within thirty percent (30%) above or below the closing price of the
underlying ETF on the preceding day.\6\ The Exchange may also open
additional strike prices of Quarterly Option Series in ETF options that
are more than 30% above or below the current price of the underlying
ETF provided that demonstrated customer interest exists for such
series, as expressed by institutional, corporate or individual
customers or their brokers. Market Makers trading for their own account
shall not be considered when determining customer interest under this
provision. The opening of the new Quarterly Options Series shall not
affect the series of options of the same class previously opened. In
addition to the initial listed series, the Exchange may list up to
sixty (60) additional series per expiration month for each Quarterly
Options Series in ETF options.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57594 (April 1,
2008), 73 FR 18828 (April 7, 2008) (SR-BSE-2008-17) (Amended QOS
Program to permit the listing of additional Quarterly Option Series
in ETF options).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The interval between strike prices on Quarterly Options Series
shall be the same as the interval for strike prices for series in that
same options class that expire in accordance with the normal monthly
expiration cycle.
    The Exchange has adopted a delisting policy with respect to QOS in
ETF options.\7\ On a monthly basis, the Exchange reviews series that
are outside a range of five (5) strikes above and five (5) strikes
below the current price of the underlying ETF, and delists series with
no open interest in both the put and the call series having a: (i)
Strike higher than the highest strike price with open interest in the
put and/or call series for a given expiration month; and (ii) strike
lower than the lowest strike price with open interest in the put and/or
call series for a given expiration month.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Notwithstanding the delisting policy, customer requests to add
strikes and/or maintain strikes in QOS in ETF options in series
eligible for delisting shall be granted.
    Further, in connection with the delisting policy, if the Exchange
identifies series for delisting, the Exchange shall notify other
options exchanges with similar delisting policies regarding eligible
series for listing, and shall work with such other exchanges to develop
a uniform list of series to be delisted, so as to ensure uniform series
delisting of multiply listed QOS in ETF options.
    During the last quarter of 2008 (and for the new expiration month
added after December Quarterly Option Series expiration), the Exchange
was permitted to list up to one hundred (100) additional series per
expiration month for each Quarterly Options Series in ETF options.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 58996 (November 21,
2008), 73 FR 72878 (December 1, 2008) (SR-BSE-2008-55) (temporary
increase to the number of additional Quarterly Options Series in ETF
options).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quarterly Option Series in Index Options

    If an index option is selected for participation in the QOS
Program, the strike price of each Quarterly Option Series will be fixed
at a price per share, with at least two, but no more than five, strike
prices above and at least two, but no more than five, strike prices
below the value of the underlying index at about the time that a
Quarterly Options Series is opened for trading on the Exchange. The
Exchange shall list strike prices for Quarterly Options Series that are
reasonably related to the current index value of the underlying index
to which such series relates at about the time such series of options
is first opened for trading on the Exchange. The term ``reasonably
related to the current index value of the underlying index'' means that
the exercise price is within thirty percent (30%) of the current index
value.
    The Exchange may open for trading additional Quarterly Options
Series of the same class when the Exchange deems it necessary to
maintain an orderly market, to meet customer demand or when the market
price of the underlying security moves substantially from the initial
exercise price or prices. The Exchange may also open for trading
additional Quarterly Options Series that are more than thirty percent
(30%) of the current index value, provided that demonstrated customer
interest exists for such series, as expressed by institutional,
corporate, or individual customers or their brokers. Market Makers
trading for their own account shall not be considered when determining
customer interest under this provision.
    The Exchange may open additional strike prices of a Quarterly
Option Series that are above the value of the underlying index provided
that the total number of strike prices above the value of the
underlying index is no greater than five. The Exchange may open
additional strike prices of a Quarterly Option Series that are below
the value of the underlying index provided that the total number of
strike prices below the value of the underlying index is no greater
than five. The opening of any new Quarterly Option Series shall not
affect the series of options of the same class previously opened.
    The Exchange has selected the following five ETF option classes to
participate in the QOS Program: DIAMONDS Trust (DIA) options, Standard
and Poor's Depositary

Receipts/SPDRs (SPY) options, iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund (IWM)
options, PowerShares QQQ Trust (QQQQ) options and Energy Select SPDR
(XLE) options. The Exchange believes the QOS Program has been
successful and well received by BOX Participants and the investing
public for the nearly two years that it has been in operation as a
pilot on BOX.
    The Exchange is now proposing to make the QOS Program permanent. In
support of approving the QOS Program on a permanent basis, BOX has
submitted to the Commission Pilot Program Reports (``Reports'')
detailing the Exchange's experience with the QOS Program. Specifically,
the Reports contain data and written analysis regarding the five ETF
option classes included in the QOS Program. The Reports have been
submitted under separate cover with confidential treatment requested
under the Freedom of Information Act.
    The Exchange believes there is sufficient investor interest and
demand in the QOS Program to warrant its permanent approval. The
Exchange believes that, for the nearly three [sic] years that it has
been in operation in the options markets, the QOS Program has provided
investors with additional means of managing their risk exposures and
carrying out their investment objectives. Furthermore, the Exchange has
not experienced any capacity-related problems with respect to Quarterly
Option Series. The Exchange also represents that BOX has the necessary
system capacity to continue to support the option series listed under
the QOS Program.
    In seeking permanent approval, the Exchange is taking this
opportunity to update the expiration examples provided in Supplementary
Material .04 to Chapter IV, Section 6 and Supplementary Material .01 to
Chapter XIV, Section 10. The revisions do not change the substance of
the QOS Program.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act,\9\ in general, and Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\10\ in particular, in that it is designed to foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating,
clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism for a free and open market and a national market
system and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
The Exchange believes that permanent approval of the QOS Program will
result in an ongoing benefit to investors, and will continue to allow
them additional means to manage their risk exposures and carry out
their investment objectives.

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

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
result in 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 neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.

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, if consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \11\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day
operative delay so that the Exchange can permanently establish a
Quarterly Options Series Program that is consistent with those of other
options exchanges.\13\ In addition, the Commission notes that the
Exchange's QOS Program currently is scheduled to expire on July 10,
2009. The Commission therefore has determined that waiving the 30-day
operative delay of the Exchange's proposal is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest because such waiver
will enable the Exchange to permanently establish the QOS program
without disruption.\14\ Therefore, the Commission designates the
proposal operative upon filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 60164 (June 23,
2009), 74 FR 31333 (June 30, 2009) (SR-CBOE-2009-029) (approving the
quarterly options series program on a permanent basis).
    \14\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate 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.

1 MEMORANDUM DATE: September 27, 2005 SUBJECT: Azadioxabicyclooctane Dietary Exposures and Risks from Antimicrobial Indirect Food Contact Uses FROM: Cassi L. Walls, Ph. D., Chemist Risk Assessment and Science Support Branch ( RASSB) Antimicrobials Division ( 7510C)

THROUGH: Norm Cook, Branch Chief Risk Assessment and Science Support Branch ( RASSB) Antimicrobials Division ( 7510C)

TO: Timothy F. McMahon, Ph. D., Risk Assessor Antimicrobials Division ( 7510C)

Tom Luminello, Chemical Review Manager Regulatory Management Branch II Antimicrobials Division ( 7510C)

PC Codes: 107001; 107002; 107003 Attached is a review of the dietary exposures and risks for the antimicrobial uses of azadioxabicyclooctane to support the reregistration eligibility decision ( RED) document.

Azadioxabicyclooctane Dietary Exposure The Antimicrobials Division ( AD) assessed the potential dietary exposure to the active ingredient, azadioxabicyclooctane, from its use as paper coating and paper adhesive preservatives. Azadioxabicyclooctane has been cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration ( US FDA) for use as an antibacterial preservative in paper and paperboard products contacting dry food only in 21CFR176.180 as well as, a component in paper adhesives in 21CFR175.105.

The intended uses for azadioxabicyclooctane have been clarified in the Steptoe and Johnson letter dated September 19, 2005. There is no use intended for this chemical as a pulp and paper preservative( slimicide use). The current label needs to be revised to clarify and reflect the actual use patterns in the pulp and paper industry. As written, the label permits use in slurries. This could be interpreted to mean slurries in the paper pulping industry.

US FDA has estimated a Cumulative Dietary Concentration of 12 ppb and a Cumulative Dietary Exposure Intake ( CEDI) of 0.006 mg/ kg/ day for azadioxabicyclooctane ( http:// www. cfsan. fda. gov/~ dms/ opa tedi. html) however, AD does not have the specific details ( i. e., application rates or residue migration potential) used by US FDA in their review of this 2 petition. No residue data have been submitted to AD in support of the azadioxabicyclooctane indirect food contact uses. A screening level assessment has been conducted using the US FDA's Center for Food Safety & Applied Nutrition's ( CFSAN) approach as presented in " Preparation of Food Contact Notifications and Food Additive Petitions for Food Contact Substances: Chemistry Recommendations" dated April 2002.

AD calculated " worst case" dietary concentration values, as summarized in Table 1, using the labeled maximum application rate for the paper coating preservative use. The Steptoe and Johnson letter clarifies the paper coating use that it is intended for paper coatings in contact with dry food. The label has also been clarified for the coating use. EPA has also used the default US FDA assumptions for preservation of paper adhesives, and have used the EPA standard values for body weight.

TABLE 1 Dietary Exposure to Azadioxabicyclooctane from Paper Coating and Paper Adhesive Preservative Uses Use Dietary Conc. ( ppb) Estimated Daily Intake ( µ g/ person/ day) Daily Dietary Dose ( mg/ kg bw/ day) Paper coating Preservative 5.0 15.

Paper Coating Preservative Use Azadioxabicyclooctane can be used to preserve paper coating formulations. Dietary exposures to azadioxabicyclooctane from this type of use were estimated using the following assumptions:

The FDA considers that the migration of residue components in coated paper intended for use with dry foods will not exceed 50 ppb in the packaged food.

  The consumption factor ( CF) ( percentage of daily diet expected to contact paper coatings) is 10%.

  Adult food consumption is 3 kg/ day; child food consumption is 1.5 kg/ day.

  Adult body weight is 70 kg; child body weight is 15 kg.

Calculations:

Determination of dietary concentration: 3 Consumption factor x 50 ppb azadioxabicyclooctane residue in food x .1( CF) = 5 ppb Determination of the Estimated Daily Intake ( EDI): Dietary conc. x Daily food consumption Adult: ( 0.0050 µ g ai/ g food) ( 3000 g food / day) = 15 µ g ai/ person/ day Child: ( 0.0050 µ g ai/ g food) ( 1500 g food / day) = 7.5 µ g ai/ person/ day Determination of the Daily Dietary Dose: EDI / Body Weight Adult: ( 15.0 µ g ai / day) ( mg/ 1000 µ g) / ( 70 kg) = 0.00021 mg ai/ kg bw/ day Child: ( 7.5 µ g ai/ day) ( mg/ 1000 µ g) / ( 15 kg) = 0.0005 mg ai/ kg bw/ day Paper Adhesive Preservative Use Azadioxabicyclooctane can be used to preserve paper adhesive formulations. Dietary exposures to azadioxabicyclooctane from this type of use were estimated using the following assumptions:

  Based on FDA's guidance document, it was assumed that a chemical used as " an adhesive or adhesive component in accordance with the limitations of 21CFR175.105, migration levels for the substance generally will be assumed to be no greater that 50 ppb. Applying a CF ( consumption factor) of 0.14 for adhesives gives a dietary concentration of 7 ppb" ( US FDA, 2002). Note: CF is the percentage of daily diet expected to contact paper adhesives.

  Adult food consumption is 3 kg/ day; child food consumption is 1.5 kg/ day.

  Adult body weight is 70 kg; child body weight is 15 kg.

Calculations:

Determination of the Estimated Daily Intake ( EDI): Dietary conc. x Daily food consumption Adult: ( 0.007 µ g ai/ g food) ( 3000 g food / day) = 21.0 µ g ai/ person/ day Child: ( 0.007 µ g ai/ g food) ( 1500 g food / day) = 10.5 µ g ai/ person/ day Determination of the Daily Dietary Dose: EDI / Body Weight Adult: ( 21.0 µ g ai / day) ( mg/ 1000 µ g) / ( 70 kg) = 0.00030 mg ai/ kg bw/ day Child: ( 10.5 µ g ai/ day) ( mg/ 1000 µ g) / ( 15 kg) = 0.00070 mg ai/ kg bw/ day Cumulative Dietary Exposure Since azadioxabicyclooctane can be used as a preservative in paper coatings and adhesives, the dietary exposures resulting from both uses must be added together because both the coatings and adhesives could be used together within one paper product. The cumulative 4 estimated dietary intakes ( CEDI) of azadioxabicyclooctane from its use in the manufacture of food contact paper and paperboard are presented in Table 2.

TABLE 2 Cumulative Estimated Dietary Intake of Azadioxabicyclooctane Use Dietary Conc. ( ppb) Estimated Daily Intake ( µ g/ person/ day) Daily Dietary Dose ( mg/ kg bw/ day) Paper Coating Preservative 5.0 15 ( adult) 7.5 ( child) 0.00021 ( adult) 0.0005 ( child) Paper Adhesive Preservative 7.0 21.0 ( adult) 10.5 ( child) 0.00030 ( adult) 0.00070 ( child) Cumulative 12.0 36 ( adult) 18 ( child) 0.00051 ( adult) 0.0012 ( child)

Dietary Risk of Azadioxabicyclooctane Paper Uses Utilizing the acute PAD of 0.01 mg/ kg/ day and chronic PAD of 0.003 mg/ kg/ day, the dietary risks were estimated and summarized in Table 3. The paper coating use and adhesive uses do not exceed the Agency's level of concern for both the acute and chronic exposure durations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.

Mental Models Study of Farmers' Understanding and Implementation of
Good Agricultural Practices

    The proposed information collection will help FDA protect the
public from foodborne illness by increasing the agency's understanding
of how farmers and growers use Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) to
address common risk factors in their operations and thereby minimize
food safety hazards potentially associated with fresh produce. Fresh
fruits and vegetables are those that are likely to be sold to consumers
in an unprocessed or minimally processed (i.e., raw) form and that are
reasonably likely to be consumed raw. Under section 903(b)(2) of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 393 (b)(2)), FDA is
authorized to conduct research relating to foods and to conduct
educational and public information programs relating to the safety of
the Nation's food supply. Under Title 42 of the Public Health Service
Act (1944), FDA has authority to act to protect the public health.
    In 1998, FDA issued a guidance document entitled ``Guide to
Minimize

Microbial Food Safety Hazards for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables,''
available at http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/prodguid.html. The guidance
addresses microbial food safety hazards and good agricultural and good
management practices common to the growing, harvesting, washing,
sorting, packing, and transporting of most fruits and vegetables sold
to consumers in an unprocessed or minimally processed (raw) form.
    There is evidence that growers have not fully implemented the GAPs
to reduce production risks, despite intensive GAPS training programs.
FDA is planning to conduct a study to determine growers' decision-
making processes with regard to understanding and implementing GAPs on
the farm, to more fully understand the barriers and constraints
associated with GAPs implementation.
    The project will use ``mental modeling,'' a qualitative research
method wherein the decision-making processes of a group of respondents
(described below) concerning the implementation of GAPs on the farm are
modeled and compared to a model based on expert knowledge and
experience in the implementation of GAPs. The information will be
collected via a telephone interview concerning the factors that
influence the perceptions and motivations related to the implementation
of GAPs. A comparison between expert and consumer models based on the
collected information may identify ``consequential knowledge gaps''
that can be redressed through information campaigns designed by FDA.

Description of respondents:

    Respondents will be farmers or growers, GAPs trainers, and retail
buyer and/or grower association representatives.
    In the Federal Register of July 1, 2008 (73 FR 37464), FDA
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
information collection. FDA received one letter in response to the
notice, containing one or more comments. One comment recommended that
FDA increase the sample size and ensure that key subsets of the produce
industry are surveyed. FDA responds that the proposed study is
qualitative in nature. FDA does not intend the results of this study to
be a quantitative estimate of the prevalence of the use of GAPs across
the produce industry. The proposed sample size is sufficient to enable
FDA to construct mental models of the barriers and constraints related
to GAPs implementation. FDA agrees with the recommendation to ensure
key subsets of the industry are included in the study.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

\1\There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

    In the 60-day notice published on July 1, 2008, FDA estimated the
total burden hours to be 51.75. FDA has made changes to its burden
estimate, reflected in table 1 of this document. FDA added a screener
and listed the participants separately in the table. The new total
burden hours are estimated to be 53.75 and are described in the
following paragraphs.
    Approximately 80 respondents will be screened. We estimate that it
will take a respondent 1.2 minutes (0.02 hours) to complete the
screening questions, for a total of 1.6 hours (rounded to 2). FDA will
conduct 9 pretests; we estimate that it will take respondents 45
minutes (0.75 hours) to complete the pretest, for a total of 6.75
hours. Sixty respondents will complete the interview. We estimate that
it will take respondents 45 minutes (0.75 hours) to complete the entire
interview, for a total of 45 hours. Thus, the total estimated burden is
53.75 hours. FDA's burden estimate is based on prior experience with
mental models research that is similar to this proposed study.
    The study will involve approximately 60 respondents, including 24
farmers or growers of fruits and vegetables, 24 GAPs trainers, and 12
retail buyer or grower association representatives. FDA estimates that
each respondent will take 45 minutes (0.75 hours) to complete the
interview for the study (60 respondents x 0.75 hours = 45 hours).
    Thus, the total annual burden for this one-time collection of
information is 53.75 hours (2 hours + 6.75 hours + 45 hours = 53.75
hours). These estimates are based on FDA's experience with consumer
research.
