SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-57286; File No. SR-CBOE-2007-122]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Order Granting Approval of a Proposed Rule Change as
Modified by Amendment No. 1 Thereto Amending Its Obvious Error Rule for
Options on Indices, ETFs, and HOLDRS

February 7, 2008.
    On October 31, 2007, the Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated (``CBOE'' or ``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 CBOE Rule 24.16 (``Rule
24.16'' or ``Rule''), which is the Exchange's rule applicable to the
nullification and adjustment of transactions in index options, options
on exchange-traded funds (``ETFs''), and options on HOLding Company
Depository ReceiptS (``HOLDRS''), to change the manner in which the
Rule applies the obvious price error provision to transactions
occurring as part of the Hybrid Opening System (``HOSS'') process. On
December 14, 2007, the CBOE submitted Amendment No. 1 to the proposed
rule change. The proposed rule change, as amended, was published for
comment in the Federal Register on December 28, 2007.\3\ The Commission
received no comment letters on the proposal. This order approves the
proposed rule change, as amended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57005 (December 20,
2007), 72 FR 73919.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently, Rule 24.16 provides that an obvious price error will be
deemed to have occurred when the execution price of a buy (sell)
transaction is above (below) the fair market value of the option by at
least the prescribed minimum error amount, as set forth in the Rule.
For purposes of transactions occurring on HOSS, ``fair market value''
is currently defined as the midpoint of the first quote after the
transaction(s) in question that does not reflect the erroneous
transaction(s). The Exchange proposes to revise the definition of fair
market value to provide additional conditions that would apply during
regular HOSS rotations and during HOSS rotations in index options
series that are being used to calculate the final settlement price of
volatility indexes on the final settlement day. According to CBOE, the
additional conditions are intended to reasonably factor the amount of
available liquidity into the fair market value calculation during these
rotations.
    With respect to regular HOSS rotations, the Exchange proposes to
add a condition that the option contract quantity subject to
nullification or adjustment cannot exceed the size of the first quote
after the transaction(s) in question that does not reflect the
erroneous transaction(s). Any nullification or adjustment would occur
on a pro rata basis and would take into account the overall size of the
HOSS opening trade.
    With respect to HOSS rotations in index options series that are
used to calculate the final settlement price of a volatility index on
the final settlement day, the Exchange proposes to add a condition that
the first quote after the transaction(s) in question that does not
reflect the erroneous transaction(s) must be for at least the overall
size of the HOSS opening trade. If the size of the quote is less than
the overall size of the HOSS opening trade, then the obvious price
error provision shall not apply.
    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) of
the Act \5\ and the rules and regulations thereunder. Specifically, the
Commission finds that the proposal is consistent with section 6(b)(5)
of the Act,\6\ in that the proposal is designed to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, remove impediments and perfect the
mechanisms of a free and open market, and to protect investors and the
public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ In approving this proposal, the Commission has considered
the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition, and capital
formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission considers that in most circumstances trades that are
executed between parties should be honored. On rare occasions, the
price of the executed trade indicates an ``obvious error'' may exist,
suggesting that it is unrealistic to expect that the parties to the
trade had come to a meeting of the minds regarding the terms of the
transaction. In the Commission's view, the determination of whether an
``obvious error'' has occurred and the process for reviewing such a
determination should be based on specific and objective criteria and
subject to specific and objective procedures.
    The Commission believes that the Exchange's proposal to revise Rule
24.16 by modifying the manner in which the Rule applies its obvious
price error provision to transactions in index options, options on
ETFs, and options on HOLDRS that occur as part of the HOSS process
during regular opening rotations and during opening rotations on the
final settlement day for volatility indexes is appropriate. The
proposal provides for an objective standard because in each of the
foregoing situations, the fair market value calculation must take into
account the size of the quote.
    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\7\ that the proposed rule change (SR-CBOE-2007-122), as amended,
is hereby approved.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Acting Assistant Secretary of Labor for
Occupational Safety and Health invites interested individuals to submit
nominations for membership on NACOSH. The Committee is authorized by
section 7(a) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH
Act) (29 U.S.C. 656) to advise the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary
of Health and Human Services on matters relating to the administration
of the OSH Act. NACOSH is a continuing advisory body and operates in
compliance with provisions in the OSH Act, the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App. 2), and regulations issued pursuant to
those laws (29 CFR 1912a, 41 CFR part 101-6 and 102-3).
    NACOSH is comprised of 12 members, all of whom the Secretary of
Labor appoints, and nominations will be accepted for seven vacancies
(29 CFR 1912a.2). The composition of the committee and categories of
new members to be appointed are as follows:
     Four public representatives of whom two will be appointed;
     Two management representatives of whom one will be
appointed;
     Two labor representatives of whom two will be appointed;
     Two occupational safety professional representatives of
whom one will be appointed; and
     Two occupational health professional representatives of
whom one will be appointed.
    Pursuant to 29 CFR 1912a.2, the Secretary of Health and Human
Services (HHS) will designate for appointment by the Secretary of Labor
one of the public representatives and the representative from the
occupational health professions. Therefore, OSHA will provide to HHS
all nominations and supporting materials for those membership
categories.
    NACOSH members serve for staggered two-year terms, unless the
member becomes unable to serve, resigns, ceases to be qualified to
serve because he or she no longer meets the relevant representational
requirements, or is removed by the Secretary of Labor. If a vacancy
occurs before a term expires, the Secretary may appoint for the
remainder of the unexpired term a new member who represents the same
interest as the predecessor. The committee meets at least two times a
year (29 CFR 1912a.4).
    Any interested person or organization may nominate one or more
qualified persons for membership. Nominations must include the
nominee's name, occupation or current position, and contact
information. The nomination also must identify the category that the
candidate is qualified to represent, and include a r[eacute]sum[eacute]
of the nominee's background, experience, and qualifications. In
addition, the nomination must state that the nominee is aware of the
nomination and is willing to serve on NACOSH for a two-year term.
    NACOSH members will be selected upon the basis of their experience
and competence in the field of occupational safety and health (29 CFR
1912a.2). The information received through this nomination process, in
addition to other relevant sources of information, will assist the
Secretary of Labor in appointing members to serve on NACOSH. In
selecting NACOSH members, the Secretary of Labor will consider
individuals nominated in response to this Federal Register notice, as
well as other qualified individuals. OSHA will publish the new NACOSH
membership list in the Federal Register.

Public Participation--Submission of Nominations and Access to Docket

    You may submit nominations (1) electronically at http://www.regulations.gov, the Federal eRulemaking Portal; (2) by facsimile
(FAX); or (3) by hard copy. All comments, attachments and other

reference to an electronic or fax submission, you must submit three
copies to the OSHA Docket Office (see ADDRESSES section). The
additional materials must clearly identify your electronic nomination
by name, date, and docket number so OSHA can attach them to your
nomination.

cause a significant delay in the receipt of nominations. For
information about security procedures concerning the delivery of
materials by hand, express delivery, messenger or courier service,
please contact the OSHA Docket Office at<PHONE_NUMBER> (TTY (877) 889-
5627).

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-56253; File No. SR-BSE-2007-40]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Boston Stock Exchange, Inc.;
Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change To Extend and Expand the Pilot
Program To Quote Certain Options in Pennies

August 15, 2007.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on August 10, 2007, the Boston Stock Exchange, Inc. (``BSE'' or
``Exchange'') 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 BSE. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend the Boston Options Exchange
(``BOX'') Rules to reflect BOX's continued participation in the Penny
Pilot Program, which would follow a two-phased extension schedule,
first extending through March 27, 2008 and then extending through March
27, 2009. During this extension, the Exchange also proposes a
corresponding expansion of the Penny Pilot Program, with each of the
two expansion phases commencing when its corresponding extension phase
becomes operative. The text of the proposed rule change is available on
the BSE's Web site at (http://www.bostonstock.com), at the offices of

the Exchange, 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 purpose of this proposed rule change is to amend the BOX Rules
to reflect BOX's continued participation in the Penny Pilot Program,
namely its participation in a two-phased extension and expansion of the
program. The Exchange proposes to amend Section 33, (``Penny Pilot
Program'') to Chapter V (``Doing Business on BOX'') of the BOX Rules.
    All six options exchanges, including BOX, currently participate in
the thirteen class \3\ Penny Pilot Program set to expire on September
27, 2007.\4\ The Exchange now proposes to both extend and expand the
Penny Pilot Program; extending through March 27, 2008 and expanding
with an additional twenty-two options classes during that six-month
extension period. The additional twenty-two options classes would be as
follows: SPDRs (SPY); Apple, Inc. (AAPL); Altria Group Inc. (MO);
Dendreon Corp. (DNDN); Amgen Inc. (AMGN); Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO); QUALCOMM
Inc. (QCOM); General Motors Corporation (GM); Energy Select Sector
(XLE); DIAMONDS Trust, Series 1 (DIA); Oil Services HOLDRs (OIH); NYSE
Euronext, Inc. (NYX); Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO); Financial Select
Sector SPDR (XLF); AT&T Inc. (T); Citigroup Inc. (C); Amazon.com Inc.
(AMZN); Motorola Inc. (MOT); Research in Motion Ltd. (RIMM); Freeport-
McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (FCX);

ConocoPhillips (COP); and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (BMY). These options
classes represent the most actively traded, multiply listed options
classes that would, together with the current thirteen Penny Pilot
classes, account for approximately 35% of total trading volume, based
on OCC year-to-date trading volume data (through July 16, 2007).
Excluded in this aggregate measurement are Google, NDX, and RUT because
of their high premiums.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The thirteen option classes currently in the Pilot are:
Ishares Russell 2000 (IWM); NASDAQ-100 Index Tracking Stock (QQQQ);
SemiConductor Holders Trust (SMH); General Electric Company (GE);
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD), Microsoft Corporation (MSFT);
Intel Corporation (INTC); Caterpillar, Inc. (CAT); Whole Foods
Market, Inc. (WFMI); Texas Instruments, Inc. (TXN); Flextronics
International Ltd. (FLEX); Sun Microsystems, Inc. (SUNW); and
Agilent Technologies, Inc. (A).
    \4\ The Pilot Program is currently set to expire on September
27, 2007. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56149 (July 26,
2007), 72 FR 42450 (August 2, 2007) (SR-BSE-2007-38). See also
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 55155 (January 23, 2007), 72 FR
4741 (February 1, 2007) (SR-BSE-2006-49) (``Original Penny Pilot
Program Approval Order'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Furthermore, the Exchange proposes a second extension and expansion
of the Penny Pilot Program. This second proposal would extend the Penny
Pilot Program for an additional year, from March 28, 2008 through March
27, 2009. During this second extension, the number of options classes
trading in pennies would again increase. The Exchange proposes to add
the most actively traded, multiply listed options classes up to the top
50 by volume.\5\ This would bring the total number of options classes
being quoted in pennies to approximately sixty-three (the original 13
pilot options classes, the 22 from the first expansion, plus the 28
additional options classes from the second expansion) for the second
expansion, from March 28, 2008 to March 27, 2009.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Exchange intends to file a 19(b)(3)(A) rule filing to
identify the options classes to be included in the second expansion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The minimum price variation for all classes included in the Penny
Pilot Program, except for the QQQQs, would continue to be $0.01 for all
quotations in option series that are quoted at less than $3 per
contract and $0.05 for all quotations in option series that are quoted
at $3 per contract or greater. The QQQQs would continue to be quoted in
$0.01 increments for all options series.
    During the extended and expanded pilot program, the BOX would
deliver four reports to the Commission. Each report would analyze the
impact of penny pricing on market quality and options system capacity.
The first report would analyze the penny pilot results from May 1, 2007
through September 27, 2007. The second would analyze the results from
September 28, 2007 through January 31, 2008. The third would analyze
the results from February 1, 2008 through July 31, 2008. And the fourth
and final report would examine the results from August 1, 2008 through
January 31, 2009. These reports would be provided to the Commission
within 30 days of the conclusion of the reporting period.
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)(5) of the Act,\7\ in particular, in that the
proposed rule change is designed to foster cooperation and coordination
with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling, processing
information with respect to facilitating transactions in securities, 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. Based on Exchange's experience with
the 13 pilot classes, the Exchange believes it is appropriate to extend
and expand the pilot in the manner described.

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    Written comments on the proposed rule change were neither solicited
nor received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Within 35 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the Exchange consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve such proposed rule change, or
    (B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. The Commission also requests and
encourages interested persons to submit comments on the following
specific questions:
     Whether there are circumstances under which options
classes included in the Penny Pilot should be removed from the Pilot?
     If so, what factors should be considered in making the
determination to remove an option class from the Penny Pilot?
    [cir] Should an objective standard be used? For instance, should an
option class come out of the Penny Pilot if its trading volume drops
below a threshold amount? If so, what should that threshold be? Or,
should an option class come out of the Penny Pilot if it is no longer
among the most actively traded options? If so, what should be
considered the most-actively traded options? What statistics or
analysis should be used to support a determination to remove an options
class?
    [cir] Should a more subjective analysis be allowed? If so, what
factors should be taken into account?
     What concerns might arise by removing an option from the
Penny Pilot? How could such concerns be ameliorated?
     How frequently should the analysis be undertaken (e.g.,
annually, bi-annually, quarterly), or should the evaluation be an
automated process?
     If a determination is made that an option should be
removed from the Penny Pilot, how much notice should be given to market
participants that the quoting increment will change?
    Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods:
