SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-59887; File No. SR-ISE-2009-24]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Notice of Filing and Order Granting Accelerated Approval to a
Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 1, Relating to the
Amounts That Direct Edge ECN, in Its Capacity as an Introducing Broker
for Non-ISE Members, Passes Through to Such Non-ISE Members

May 7, 2009.
    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 May 6, 2009, the International Securities Exchange, LLC (the
``Exchange'' or the ``ISE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change. On May 7, 2009,
the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change. The
proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, is described in
Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by ISE. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, from interested
persons, and is approving the proposal on an accelerated basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 modify the amounts that Direct Edge ECN

(``DECN''), in its capacity as an introducing broker for non-ISE
Members, passes through to such non-ISE Members.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Internet Web site at http://www.ise.com.

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 these statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization
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
    DECN, a facility of ISE, operates two trading platforms, EDGX and
EDGA. On May 1, 2009, the ISE filed for immediate effectiveness a
proposed rule change to amend DECN's fee schedule for ISE Members \3\
to increase the per share rebate in securities reported to Tape A and
Tape C from $0.0029 to $0.003 for orders that add liquidity on EDGX if
the ISE Member satisfies any of the following three criteria on a daily
basis, measured monthly: (i) Adding 40,000,000 shares or more on either
EDGX, EDGA or EDGX and EDGA combined; (ii) adding 20,000,000 shares or
more on either EDGX, EDGA or EDGX and EDGA combined and routing
20,000,000 shares or more through EDGA; or (iii) adding 10,000,000
shares or more of liquidity to EDGX, so long as added liquidity on EDGX
is at least 5,000,000 shares greater than the previous calendar
month.\4\ DECN is a member of ISE as well as a facility of ISE. The
rebate described above is referred to as a ``Super Tier Rebate'' on the
DECN fee schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ References to ISE Members in this filing refer to DECN
Subscribers who are ISE Members.
    \4\ See SR-ISE-2009-23.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In an effort to increase volume on EDGA, DECN currently offers
volume discounts for ISE Members who route 20,000,000 shares or more on
a daily basis, measured monthly, to Nasdaq through EDGA using order
types that are solely eligible for routing to Nasdaq. Prior to SR-ISE-
2009-23, orders were charged at $0.0025 per share with respect to EDGA
routed volume. ISE Members routing 30,000,000 shares per day were
charged $0.0024 per share with respect to EDGA routed volume. Recently,
Nasdaq has amended its pricing by increasing its fee for orders that
remove liquidity by $0.0004.\5\ Accordingly, in SR-ISE-2009-23, the
Exchange amended the DECN volume discounts that apply to ISE Members by
increasing each volume discount fee by $0.0004, which changed the fee
to $0.0029 per share and $0.0028 per share, respectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 59843
(April 29, 2009), 74 FR 21046 (May 6, 2009) (SR-NASDAQ-2009-035).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On April 1, 2009, the Exchange amended the DECN fee schedule to
reduce the rebate from $0.0035 per share to $0.003 per share for orders
that add liquidity on EDGX in securities priced at or above $1.00 that
are reported to Tape B by ISE Members.\6\ In connection with this
amendment, a portion of the corresponding footnote on the DECN fee
schedule should have been deleted, but such deletion was overlooked at
the time of the filing. The relevant portion of the footnote states
``In the event that Direct Edge offers a rebate higher than $0.0029 per
share for subscribers who do not meet the criteria for the Super Tier,
then those who meet the aforementioned criteria will receive the higher
rebate.'' In SR-ISE-2009-23, the Exchange deleted this language as
Direct Edge is no longer offering this incentive.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities and Exchange Commission Release Nos. 59692
(April 2, 2009), 74 FR 16024 (April 8, 2009) (SR-ISE-2009-17).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In SR-ISE-2009-23, the Exchange also made certain clarifying
changes to DECN's fee schedule. DECN's fee schedule includes a
description of liquidity flags and associated fees. Flag D is appended
to orders that are routed to and executed on the New York Stock
Exchange (``NYSE''). Such orders are charged a fee on the NYSE because
the order is removing liquidity. The fee assessed to this order is then
passed back to the ISE Member that originated the order. In SR-ISE-
2009-23, the Exchange amended the description of Flag D to include, not
just orders that are routed to NYSE, but also orders that are re-routed
to NYSE. Meaning, the order that originates at DECN may get routed to
another market center for execution, but that market center may re-
route the order to NYSE, where the order ultimately receives an
execution that results in a removal of liquidity. In this circumstance,
the fee assessed to the order will still be passed back to the ISE
Member that originated the order as if such order was originally routed
to NYSE.
    Finally, in SR-ISE-2009-23, the Exchange deleted a portion of a
footnote on DECN's fee schedule that provides for a lower charge to ISE
Members whose orders in securities that are reported to Tape A and Tape
C first get routed to Nasdaq Stock Market (``Nasdaq'') and then get re-
routed by Nasdaq. In this circumstance, the ISE Member would be charged
a fee of $0.0026 per share for removing liquidity in Tape A and Tape C
securities regardless of where the order ultimately gets executed and
regardless of what the executing market center charges Nasdaq. Whereas,
orders that get routed to any other market center and then re-routed by
that market center get charged a fee of $0.003 per share when the order
removes liquidity. In SR-ISE-2009-23, the Exchange proposed to delete
the portion of the footnote that provides for this exception because
Nasdaq has raised their fee to $0.003 per share for all orders that get
routed to Nasdaq and then re-routed by Nasdaq.
    In its capacity as a member of ISE, DECN currently serves as an
introducing broker for the non-ISE Member subscribers of DECN to access
EDGX and EDGA. DECN, as an ISE Member and introducing broker, receives
rebates from DECN for transactions it executes on EDGX or EDGA in its
capacity as introducing broker for non-ISE Members. Since the amounts
of such rebates were changed pursuant to SR-ISE-2009-23, DECN wishes to
make corresponding changes to the amounts it passes through to non-ISE
Member subscribers of DECN for which it acts as introducing broker. As
a result, the per share amounts that non-ISE Member subscribers receive
will be the same as the amounts that ISE Members receive.
    ISE is seeking accelerated approval of this proposed rule change,
as well as a retroactive effective date of May 1, 2009. ISE represents
that this proposal will ensure that both ISE Members and non-ISE
Members (by virtue of the pass-through described above) will in effect
receive equivalent amounts and that the imposition of such amounts will
begin on the same May 1, 2009 start date.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the objectives of Section 6 of the Act,\7\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4),\8\ in particular, in that
it is designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable
dues, fees and

other charges among its members and other persons using its facilities.
In particular, this proposal will ensure that both ISE Members and non-
ISE Members (by virtue of the pass-through described above) will
receive equivalent rebates.

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The proposed rule change does not 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 on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested
parties.

IV. Commission's Findings and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of
Proposed Rule Change

    The Commission finds that the proposed rule change, as amended, is
consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange.\9\
Specifically, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b)(4),\10\ of the Act, which requires that
the rules of a national securities exchange provide for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among members and
issuers and other persons using any facilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ In approving this proposal, the Commission has considered
its impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15
U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ISE recently amended DECN's fee schedule to increase the Super Tier
Rebate in securities reported to Tape A and Tape C and revise other
rebates and fees.\11\ DECN receives rebates and charges fees for
transactions it executes on EGDX or EDGA in its capacity as an
introducing broker for its non-ISE member subscribers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-59888 (May 7,
2009) (notice of filing and immediate effectiveness of File No. SR-
ISE-2009-23) (the ``Member Fee Filing'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The current proposal, which will apply retroactively to May 1,
2009, will allow DECN to pass through the revised rebates and fees to
the non-ISE member subscribers for which it acts as an introducing
broker. The Commission finds that the proposal is consistent with the
Act because it will provide rebates and charge fees to non-ISE member
subscribers that are equivalent to those established for ISE member
subscribers in the Member Fee Filing.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See note 11, supra.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ISE has requested that the Commission find good cause for approving
the proposed rule change prior to the thirtieth day after publication
of notice in the Federal Register. As discussed above, the proposal
will allow DECN to pass through to non-ISE member subscribers the
revised rebate and fees established for ISE member subscribers in the
Member Fee Filing, resulting in equivalent rebates and fees for ISE
member and non-member subscribers. In addition, because the proposal
will apply the revised rebates and fees retroactively to May 1, 2009,
the revised rebates and fees will have the same effective date, thereby
promoting consistency in the DECN's fee schedule. Accordingly, the
Commission finds good cause, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act
for approving the proposed rule change prior to the thirtieth day after
the date of publication of notice thereof in the Federal Register.

V. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\13\ that the proposed rule change, as amended (SR-ISE-2009-24) be,
and hereby is, approved on an accelerated basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
