Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Eliminate
Section I Pricing for Select Symbols

July 10, 2013.
    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 June 26, 2013, NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC (``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or ``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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 remove its Select Symbols,\3\ along with
pricing in Section I of the Pricing Schedule entitled ``Rebates and
Fees for Adding and Removing Liquidity in Select Symbols.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Select Symbols are noted in Section I of the Pricing
Schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    While the changes proposed herein are effective upon filing, the
Exchange has designated that the amendments be operative on July 1,
2013.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://nasdaqomxphlx.cchwallstreet.com/, at the principal
office 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 Exchange proposes to eliminate the current pricing in Section I
of the Pricing Schedule which is applicable to Select Symbols. The
Exchange would apply the pricing in Section II entitled ``Multiply
Listed Options Fees'' \4\ to these Select Symbols in order to attract
additional order flow to the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ This includes options overlying currencies, equities, ETFs,
ETNS and indexes not listed on another exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section I Select Symbols
    Today, the Exchange applies the pricing in Section I to the
following Select Symbols: Bank of America Corporation (``BAC''),
iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index (``EEM''), SPDR Gold Shares
(``GLD''), iShares Russell 2000 Index (``IWM''), Microsoft Corporation
(``MSFT''), PowerShares QQQ (``QQQ''), and Financial Select Sector SPDR
(``XLF''). Specifically, the Exchange applies the following Simple
Order and Complex Order Pricing:

                                                                  Part A--Simple Order

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

    The Exchange proposes to eliminate this Section I pricing and
instead apply the pricing which currently applies to all other Multiply
Listed Options in Section II of the Pricing Schedule: \5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ SPY has its own pricing in Section C, which will be renamed
as new Section I. See Section C of the Pricing Schedule.

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

    The Select Symbols that are being eliminated in Section I are all
Penny Pilot Options and would be subject to Section II Penny Pilot
electronic Options Transaction Charges. With respect to Simple and
Complex Orders, Customers \6\ would continue to not be assessed any
fees in the Select Symbols with this proposal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The term ``Customer'' applies to any transaction that is
identified by a member or member organization for clearing in the
Customer range at The Options Clearing Corporation (``OCC'') which
is not for the account of broker or dealer or for the account of a
``Professional'' (as that term is defined in Rule 1000(b)(14)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A Professional \7\ that currently pays a $0.45 per contract Simple
Order Fee for Adding and Removing Liquidity, a $0.10 per contract
Complex Order Fee for Adding Liquidity and a $0.50 per contract Complex
Order Fee for Removing Liquidity would now be assessed a $0.30 per
contract electronic Options Transaction Charge in Penny Pilot Options.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The term ``professional'' means any person or entity that
(i) is not a broker or dealer in securities, and (ii) places more
than 390 orders in listed options per day on average during a
calendar month for its own beneficial account(s). See Rule
1000(b)(14).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A Specialist \8\ and Market Maker \9\ that today receives a Simple
Order Rebate for Adding Liquidity of $0.20 per contract and pays a
Simple and Complex Order Fee for Adding Liquidity of $0.10 per
contract, a $0.45 per contract Simple Order Fee for Removing Liquidity
and a Complex Order Fee for Removing Liquidity of $0.25 per
contract,\10\ would now be assessed a $0.22 per contract electronic
Options Transaction Charge in Penny Pilot Options. There are no rebates
paid in Section II for Simple Orders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ A Specialist is an Exchange member who is registered as an
options specialist pursuant to Rule 1020(a).
    \9\ A Market Maker includes Registered Options Traders (Rule
1014(b)(i) and (ii)), which includes Streaming Quote Traders (see
Rule 1014(b)(ii)(A)) and Remote Streaming Quote Traders (see Rule
1014(b)(ii)(B)). Directed Participants are also Market Makers.
    \10\ Today, Complex Order Fees for Removing Liquidity,
applicable to Specialists and Market Makers, are decreased by $0.02
per contract when the Specialist or Market Maker transacts against a
Customer Order directed to that Specialist or Market Maker for
execution.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A Firm \11\ that currently pays a $0.45 per contract Simple Order
Fee for Adding and Removing Liquidity, a $0.10 per contract Complex
Order Fee for Adding Liquidity and a $0.50 per contract Complex Order
Fee for Removing Liquidity would be now assessed a $0.45 per contract
electronic Options Transaction Charge in Penny Pilot Options. In
addition, Firm electronic Options Transaction Charges in Penny Pilot
Options (and Non-Penny Pilot Options) are reduced to $0.17 per contract
for a given month provided that a Firm has volume greater than 500,000
electronically-delivered contracts in a month.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ The term ``Firm'' applies to any transaction that is
identified by a member or member organization for clearing in the
Firm range at OCC.

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

    Finally, a Broker-Dealer \12\ that currently pays a $0.45 per
contract Simple Order Fee for Adding and Removing Liquidity, a $0.10
per contract Complex Order Fee for Adding Liquidity and a $0.50 per
contract Complex Order Fee for Removing Liquidity would now be assessed
a $0.45 per contract electronic Options Transaction Charge in Penny
Pilot Options.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ The term ``Broker-Dealer'' applies to any transaction which
is not subject to any of the other transaction fees applicable
within a particular category.
    \13\ All market participants, other than Customers, would
continue to be assessed a $0.15 per contract Options Surcharge on
options on the one-tenth value of the Nasdaq 100 Index traded under
the symbol ``MNX'' and options on the Nasdaq 100 Index traded under
the symbol ``NDX'' and a $0.10 per contract surcharge on options on
PHLX/KBW Bank Index (``BKX''). Today, all Select Symbols transacted
on the Exchange's trading floor are assessed the fees in Section II
with respect to floor transactions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With this proposal, the Monthly Market Maker Cap \14\ on
transaction fees that is currently applicable to Market Makers and
Specialists transacting Multiply Listed Options is applicable to
electronic transactions in the Section II symbols, except for QCC \15\
Transaction Fees. The Monthly Market Maker Cap would now apply to the
Select Symbols as part of Section II. As is the case today, the Monthly
Firm Fee Cap \16\ will continue to apply to the Select Symbols as part
of Section II. Today, Payment for Order Flow (``PFOF'') \17\ fees are
collected on transactions in the Select Symbols, except when a
Specialist or Market Maker is also assessed the Simple Order Fee for
Removing Liquidity, in which case the PFOF fees will not apply. Section
II symbols are subject to PFOF fees on electronic orders and, with this
proposal, these Select Symbols.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ Specialists and Market Makers are subject to a ``Monthly
Market Maker Cap'' of $550,000 for: (i) Electronic and floor Option
Transaction Charges; (ii) Qualified Contingent Cross (``QCC'')
Transaction Fees (as defined in Exchange Rule 1080(o) and Floor QCC
Orders, as defined in 1064(e)); and (iii) fees related to an order
or quote that is contra to a PIXL Order or specifically responding
to a PIXL auction. The trading activity of separate Specialist and
Market Maker member organizations is aggregated in calculating the
Monthly Market Maker Cap if there is Common Ownership between the
member organizations. All dividend, merger, short stock interest and
reversal and conversion strategy executions (as defined in Section
II) are excluded from the Monthly Market Maker Cap.
    \15\ A QCC Order is comprised of an order to buy or sell at
least 1000 contracts that is identified as being part of a qualified
contingent trade, as that term is defined in Rule 1080(o)(3),
coupled with a contra-side order to buy or sell an equal number of
contracts. The QCC Order must be executed at a price at or between
the National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO) and be rejected if a Customer
order is resting on the Exchange book at the same price. A QCC Order
shall only be submitted electronically from off the floor to the
PHLX XL II System. See Rule 1080(o). See also Securities Exchange
Act Release No. 64249 (April 7, 2011), 76 FR 20773 (April 13, 2011)
(SR-Phlx-2011-47) (a rule change to establish a QCC Order to
facilitate the execution of stock/option Qualified Contingent Trades
(QCT) that satisfy the requirements of the trade through exemption
in connection with Rule 611(d) of the Regulation NMS).
    \16\ Firms are subject to a maximum fee of $75,000 (``Monthly
Firm Fee Cap''). Firm Floor Option Transaction Charges and QCC
Transaction Fees in the aggregate, for one billing month may not
exceed the Monthly Firm Fee Cap per member organization when such
members are trading in their own proprietary account. All dividend,
merger, and short stock interest strategy executions (as defined in
Section II) are excluded from the Monthly Firm Fee Cap. Reversal and
conversion strategy executions (as defined in Section II) are
included in the Monthly Firm Fee Cap. QCC Transaction Fees are
included in the calculation of the Monthly Firm Fee Cap.
    \17\ The PFOF program started on July 1, 2005 as a pilot and
after a series of orders extending the pilot became effective on
April 29, 2012. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 52114 (July
22, 2005), 70 FR 44138 (August 1, 2005) (SR-Phlx-2005-44); 57851
(May 22, 2008), 73 FR 31177 (May 20, 2008) (SR-Phlx-2008-38); 55891
(June 11, 2007), 72 FR 333271 (June 15, 2007) (SR-Phlx-2007-39);

2009) (SR-Phlx-2009-38).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently, the Cancellation Fee \18\ for each cancelled
electronically delivered Professional AON order applies to the Select
Symbols. The Cancellation Fee does not apply for each cancelled
electronically delivered Customer order in Select Symbols. With this
proposal, the application of the Cancellation Fees to the Select
Symbols would remain the same.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ A Cancellation Fee of $1.10 per order is assessed for each
cancelled electronically delivered All-or-None (AON) order submitted
by a Professional in excess of the number of AON orders submitted by
a Professional executed on the Exchange by a member organization in
a given month. All AON orders submitted by a Professional from the
same member organization that are executed in the same series on the
same side of the market at the same price within a 300 second period
will be aggregated and counted as one executed AON option order
submitted by a Professional. A Cancellation Fee is not assessed in a
month in which fewer than 500 electronically delivered AON orders
submitted by a Professional are cancelled. A Cancellation Fee will
not apply to pre-market cancellations or Complex Orders that are
submitted electronically. A Cancellation Fee is assessed on AON
orders submitted by a Professional.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As noted above, transactions in the Select Symbols originating on
the Exchange floor are subject to the Multiply Listed Options Fees in
Section II. However, today if one side of the transaction originates on
the Exchange floor and any other side of the trade was the result of an
electronically submitted order or a quote, then Section I fees apply to
the transactions which originated on the Exchange floor and contracts
that are executed electronically on all sides of the transaction. With
this proposal, Section II pricing would apply to these transactions.
    Today, a non-Complex electronic auction includes the Quote Exhaust
auction and, for purposes of these fees, the opening process. A Complex
electronic auction includes, but is not limited to, the Complex Order
Live Auction (``COLA''). Customer executions that occur as part of a
Complex electronic auction are assessed $0.00 per contract. Customer
executions that occur as part of a non-Complex electronic auction are
assessed $0.00 per contract. Professional, Firm, Broker-Dealer,
Specialist and Market Maker executions that occur as part of a Complex
electronic auction are assessed the Fees for Removing Liquidity in
Section I, Part B. Professional, Firm, Broker-Dealer, Specialist and
Market Maker executions that occur as part of a non-Complex electronic
auction are assessed the Fees for Removing Liquidity in Section I, Part
A. However, during an opening auction a Specialist or Market Maker is
assessed the Simple Order Fee for Adding Liquidity in Section I if
contra to a Customer order. With this proposal, the Exchange would
assess the Options Transaction Charges in Section II with respect to
non-Complex electronic auctions, Complex electronic auctions and the
opening process. With this proposal, the QCC Transaction fees and
rebates, defined in Section II, are and will continue to be applicable
to the Select Symbols as part of Section II.
    The Exchange also proposes to remove the current reference to
Section I in the Preface and instead renumber current Section C
entitled ``Rebates and Fees for Adding Liquidity in SPY'' as new
Section I. The Exchange proposes to remove references to the Select
Symbols in the Customer Rebate Program along with Categories C \19\ and
D \20\ of the Customer Rebate Program,

which relate to Simple and Complex Orders in Select Symbols. These
Categories will no longer be relevant with this proposal. All Multiply
Listed Options in Section II would qualify for either the Category A
\21\ or B \22\ rebates. The Exchange also proposes to amend Sections II
and IV \23\ to remove references to Select Symbols and also pricing in
PIXL \24\ concerning transactions in Select Symbols, as that pricing is
no longer relevant.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ Category C Rebates are paid to members executing
electronically-delivered Customer Complex Orders in Select Symbols
in Section I symbols. Rebates are paid on Customer PIXL Complex
Orders in Section I symbols that execute against non-Initiating
Order interest, except in the case of Customer PIXL Complex Orders
that are greater than 999 contracts. All Customer PIXL Complex
Orders that are greater than 999 contracts are paid a rebate
regardless of the contra-party to the transaction.
    \20\ Category D Rebates are paid to members executing
electronically-delivered Customer Simple Orders in Select Symbols in
Section I. Rebates are paid on PIXL Orders in Section I symbols that
execute against non-Initiating Order interest. Rebates are paid on
Customer PIXL Orders in Section I symbols that execute against non-
Initiating Order interest, except in the case of Customer PIXL Order
that are greater than 999 contracts. All Customer PIXL Orders that
are greater than 999 contracts are paid a rebate regardless of the
contra-party to the transaction.
    \21\ Category A Rebates are paid to members executing
electronically-delivered Customer Simple Orders in Penny Pilot
Options and Customer Simple Orders in Non-Penny Pilot Options in
Section II symbols. Rebates are paid on Customer PIXL Orders in
Section II symbols that execute against non-Initiating Order
interest, except in the case of Customer PIXL Orders that are
greater than 999 contracts. All Customer PIXL Orders that are
greater than 999 contracts will be paid a rebate regardless of the
contra-party to the transaction.
    \22\ Category B Rebates are paid to members executing
electronically-delivered Customer Complex Orders in Penny Pilot
Options and Non-Penny Pilot Options in Section II symbols. Rebates
are paid on Customer PIXL Complex Orders in Section II symbols that
execute against non-Initiating Order interest, except in the case of
Customer PIXL Complex Orders that are greater than 999 contracts.
All Customer PIXL Complex Orders that are greater than 999 contracts
will be paid a rebate regardless of the contra-party to the
transaction.
    \23\ Today, the Exchange assesses PIXL Pricing based on whether
the symbol is a Select Symbol in Section I or a Multiply Listed
Options symbol subject to Section II pricing. See Section IV of the
Pricing Schedule.
    \24\ PIXL is the Exchange's price improvement mechanism known as
Price Improvement XL or (PIXL\SM\). See Rule 1080(n).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed pricing will enable the
Exchange to remain competitive.
Monthly Market Maker Cap
    The Exchange also proposes to increase the $0.16 per contract fee
that today is assessed to Specialists and Market Makers that are on the
contra-side of an electronically-delivered and executed Customer order;
and have reached the Monthly Market Maker Cap to $0.17 per contract.
The Exchange is amending this fee to capture the cost to the Exchange
of paying a Category B Customer Rebate.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to amend its Pricing
Schedule is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act \25\ in general,
and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \26\ in
particular, in that it provides for an equitable allocation of
reasonable fees and other charges among Exchange members and other
persons using its facilities.

Section I Select Symbols
    The Exchange believes that it is reasonable to remove BAC, EEM,
GLD, IWM, MSFT, QQQ, and XLF from the list of Select Symbols, eliminate
the pricing in Section I and apply the pricing for Multiply Listed
Options in Section II to the Select Symbols in order to attract
additional order flow to the Exchange as result of the new pricing.
    The Exchange believes that it is equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory to eliminate the list of Select Symbols and Section I
pricing because the Exchange would uniformly apply Section II pricing
to all Multiply Listed Options, with the exception of SPY,\27\ to all
market participants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \27\ SPY has its own pricing in Section C, which will be renamed
as new Section I. See Section C of the Pricing Schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Customers would not be assessed Section II Options Transaction
Charges, including transaction fees related to electronic and non-
electronic Complex auctions. Today, Customers are not assessed
transaction fees in Section I. With this proposal, a Customer would pay
a Cancellation Fee for cancelled orders. In addition, with this
proposal, the Exchange would pay Customers that qualify for the
Customer Rebate Program the Category A rebates instead of the Category
D rebates they may qualify for today with respect to the Select
Symbols. The ability to qualify for Category A rebates would result in
increased rebates for Customers.\28\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \28\ Simple Order Category A rebates range between $0.12 and
$0.15 per contract and Category D rebates are $0.08 per contract,
where applicable. Complex Order Category C rebates are $0.17 per
contract. With this proposal, Customers transacting Select Symbols
could qualify for Category B rebates, which are also $0.17 per
contract where applicable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A Professional would incur lower fees except for adding liquidity
in Complex Order where the fee today is $0.10 per contract. Section II
fees do not distinguish between adding and removing liquidity; the
Select Symbols would be subject to the electronic Options Transaction
Charges for Penny Pilot Options regardless of whether the market
participant was adding or removing liquidity. The Exchange believes
that it is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory to assess
Professionals the same Options Transaction Charges for Select Symbols
that are assessed today for all other Multiply Listed Options symbols,
except SPY options.
    Specialist and Market Maker fees would increase except with respect
to removing liquidity, however Specialists and Market Makers would now
be able to cap their fees because the Monthly Market Maker Cap is
applicable to Section II symbols. Specialists and Market Makers would
no longer be entitled to the $0.20 per contract Simple Order Rebate for
Adding Liquidity. Specialists and Market Makers would also incur
increased costs during the opening auction. Specialists and Market
Makers would now be subject to PFOF fees for Simple Orders that remove
liquidity. The Exchange believes that it is equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory to assess the Section II Options Transaction Charges to
Specialists and Market Makers because while certain fees will increase
and the Exchange would no longer pay Simple Order rebates, Specialists
and Market Makers will be able to cap fees. Also, Specialists and
Market Makers will be assessed the same Options Transaction Charges for
the Select Symbols that are assessed today for all other Multiply
Listed Options symbols, except SPY options. In addition, PFOF fees will
apply to Select Symbols similar to the manner in which they apply today
to Section II symbols.
    Firms would pay the same or lower fees with respect to removing
liquidity, except where they have volume greater than 500,000
electronically-delivered contracts in a month, than the fee would be
reduced.\29\ A Firm would pay more to add liquidity in Complex Orders.
Firms would continue to have the opportunity to cap their fees with the
Monthly Firm Fee Cap which is applicable to Section II symbols as it
was applicable to Section I Select Symbols. The Exchange believes that
it is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory to assess Section II
fees to Firms because they will continue to have the ability to cap
fees and also have the ability to pay a reduced Options Transaction
Charge when executing a certain amount of volume. Also, Firms will be
assessed the same Options Transaction Charges for the Select Symbols
that are assessed today for all other Multiply Listed Options symbols,
except SPY options.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \29\ Firm electronic Options Transaction Charges in Penny Pilot
and non-Penny Pilot Options will be reduced to $0.17 per contract
for a given month provided that a Firm has volume greater than
500,000 electronically-delivered contracts in a month.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Broker-Dealers would pay the same or lower fees with respect to
removing liquidity. A Broker-Dealer would pay more to add liquidity in
Complex Orders. The Exchange believes that it is equitable and not
unfairly discriminatory to assess Section II fees to Broker Dealers
because they will be

assessed the same Options Transaction Charges for the Select Symbols
that are assessed today for all other Multiply Listed Options symbols,
except SPY options.
Monthly Market Maker Cap
    The Exchange's proposal to increase the $0.16 per contract fee that
today is assessed to Specialists and Market Makers that are on the
contra-side of an electronically-delivered and executed Customer order
and have reached the Monthly Market Maker Cap to $0.17 per contract is
reasonable because today the Exchange pays a Customer rebate of $0.17
for Customer Complex Orders pursuant to Section B of the Pricing
Schedule. The Exchange is amending this fee to capture the $0.17 per
contract cost to the Exchange of paying an increased Category B
Customer Rebate for transactions in Complex Orders. This amendment will
allow the Exchange to continue to pay certain qualifying Complex Order
Customer rebates pursuant to the Customer Rebate Program in Section B.
This fee is only paid once the Monthly Market Maker Cap is exceeded and
Specialists or Market Makers are not otherwise incurring fees and the
Specialist or Market Maker is contra to a Customer order.
    The Exchange's proposal to increase the $0.16 per contract fee that
today is assessed to Specialists and Market Makers that are on the
contra-side of an electronically-delivered and executed Customer order
and have reached the Monthly Market Maker Cap to $0.17 per contract is
equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because all Specialists and
Market Makers would be uniformly assessed the fee as long as they have
reached the cap and are contra to an electronically-delivered Customer
order.

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

    The Exchange 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. The Exchange believes that its
proposal to eliminate the Section I pricing applicable to Select
Symbols and instead assess BAC, EEM, GLD, IWM, MSFT, QQQ, and XLF the
fees in Section II and subject these Select Symbols to other Section II
pricing does not impose any undue burden on competition. In most cases,
market participants will be subject to the same or better pricing.
There will be no pricing differentials among market participants for
adding versus removing liquidity. All of these Select Symbols are Penny
Pilot Options and therefore would be subject a single electronic
Options Transaction Charge applicable to Penny Pilot Options. The floor
transaction fees remain unaffected because today Section II pricing
applies to Select Symbols. Other than options on SPY, which are subject
to different pricing, all Multiply Listed Options symbols would be
subject to the pricing in Section II with this proposal.
    With respect to increasing the $0.16 per contract fee that today is
assessed to Specialists and Market Makers that are on the contra-side
of an electronically-delivered and executed Customer order and have
reached the Monthly Market Maker Cap to $0.17 per contract the Exchange
believes that this proposed amendment will also not impose an undue
burden on competition. The Exchange will uniformly assess this fee to
Specialists and Market Makers in limited circumstances.
    The Exchange operates in a highly competitive market, comprised of
eleven exchanges, in which market participants can easily and readily
direct order flow to competing venues if they deem fee levels at a
particular venue to be excessive or rebates to be inadequate.
Accordingly, the fees that are assessed and the rebates paid by the
Exchange described in the above proposal are influenced by these robust
market forces and therefore must remain competitive with fees charged
and rebates paid by other venues and therefore must continue to be
reasonable and equitably allocated to those members that opt to direct
orders to the Exchange rather than competing venues.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-60725, File No. SR-MSRB-2009-12]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Municipal Securities Rulemaking
Board; Order Approving Proposed Rule Change Relating to Amendments to
Rule G-11(i) (Settlement of Syndicate or Similar Account), Rule G-11(j)
(Payment of Designations), and Rule G-12(i) (Settlement of Joint or
Similar Account)

September 28, 2009.
    On August 6, 2009, the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board
(``MSRB''), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'' or ``SEC''), 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 Rule G-11(i) (settlement of syndicate or similar account), Rule
G-11(j) (payment of designations), and Rule G-12(i) (settlement of
joint or similar account). The proposed rule change was published for
comment in the Federal Register on August 18, 2009.\3\ The Commission
received one comment letter about the proposed rule change.\4\ On
September 22, 2009, the MSRB filed a response to the comment letter.\5\
This order approves the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 60487 (Aug. 12,
2009), 74 FR 41771 (August 18, 2009) (``Commission's Notice'').
    \4\ See letter from Michael Decker and Mike Nicholas, Co-Chief
Executive Officers, Regional Bond Dealers Association (``RBDA''),
dated September 8, 2009.
    \5\ See letter from Margaret C. Henry, Associate General
Counsel, MSRB, to Elizabeth M. Murphy, Secretary, SEC, dated
September 22, 2009 (``Response Letter'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change would accelerate the settlement of
syndicate accounts and secondary market trading accounts, and the
payment of designations, by shortening certain time periods within the
rules. These proposals are designed to reduce the exposure of syndicate
and secondary market trading account members to the risk of potential
deterioration in the credit of the syndicate or account manager during
the pendency of account settlements. For the proposed amendments to
Rule G-11, the MSRB requested that the amendments become effective for
new issues of municipal securities for which the Time of Formal Award
(as defined in Rule G-34(a)(ii)(C)(1)(a)) is more than 30 calendar days
after the date the amendments are approved by the SEC. For the proposed
amendments to Rule G-12, the MSRB requested that the amendments become
effective for secondary market trading accounts formed more than 30
days after the date the amendments are approved by the SEC. A full
description of the proposal is contained in the Commission's Notice.
    As previously noted, the Commission received one comment letter
relating to the proposed rule change.\6\ The RBDA generally supported
the spirit of the MSRB's proposal and applauded the MSRB for acting to
reduce risks faced by syndicate members, but expressed concern about
the proposed amendments to Rule G-11(j). The RBDA supported the
proposal to amend Rule G-11(i) to reduce the time period for closing
syndicate accounts to 30 calendar days following the date the issuer
delivers the securities to the syndicate and also supported the
proposed amendment to Rule G-12(i) to reduce the time to close joint or
similar accounts--secondary market trading accounts--to 30 calendar
days following the date all securities have been delivered by the
account manager to the account members. However, the RBDA believes that
the proposed amendments to Rule G-11(j) related to payments of
designations imposing a deadline of two business days for submissions
of designations and 10 calendar days for payments of designations is
too short and would create undue burdens for both syndicate members and
managers. The RBDA recommended that the MSRB maintain the current 30-
day deadline for the payments of designations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See supra note 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The MSRB stated in its Response Letter that the proposed amendments
to Rule G-11(j) are intended to reduce the exposure of co-managers to
the credit risk of the senior manager. The MSRB noted that in most
underwriting syndicates, a large percentage of the syndicate profits
are distributed as payments for designations. The MSRB believes that
the shorter time periods are reasonable and that any administrative
burdens associated with the changes are more than outweighed by the
significant reduction in credit risk to co-managers, especially in the
case of smaller firms. Accordingly, the MSRB did not propose to modify
the proposal.
    The Commission has carefully considered the proposed rule change,
the comment letter received, and the MSRB's response to the comment
letter and finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder
applicable to the MSRB \7\ and, in particular, the requirements of
Section 15B(b)(2)(C) of the Act \8\ and the rules and regulations
thereunder. Section 15B(b)(2)(C) of the Act requires, among other
things, that the MSRB's rules be designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with
persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling, processing
information with respect to, and facilitating transactions in municipal
securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market in municipal securities, and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest.\9\ In particular, the
Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Act because it will further the free and open market in municipal
securities by reducing the exposure of dealers to the potential
deterioration of the credit of syndicate managers during the period
prior to settlement of syndicate accounts and by providing a comparable
rule for the settlement of secondary market trading accounts. The
proposed amendments will become effective on the dates requested by the
MSRB.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission notes
that it has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency,
competition and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-4(b)(2)(C).
    \9\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\10\ that the proposed rule change (SR-MSRB-2009-12), be, and it
hereby is, approved.

Comment Info: =================

General Comment:I was a 1 pack day smoker starting at age 15 by age 59 I was a 3 pack a day smoker. I tried all the over the counter smoking cessation items that have been available. I used several prescription medications and I tried hypnosis several times! NOTHING helped. Over the years I stopped smoking more times than I can count. Always to go back to smoking, and every time I would smoke more than I was before I stopped. Then came along Chantex, sounded like the miracle I was needing.
Again, I stopped for a couple of months and went right back to smoking. Then came along the e cigarettes. So I bought one of those. It helped for a little while so I added Chantex again. September 3, 2010 I had my last cigarette. I am still using the
e cigarettes (no nicotine). There is not a second of any waking day that I do not want a cigarette. Would I go back to smoking  again????? YES I WOULD. I have learned that smoking is nasty, the house, car, clothes and everything I am around stinks. Would I still go back to smoking???? Yes, but having my e cigarette keeps me from making that awful mistake. I do not believe that they are as harmful as nicotine and tar loaded cigarettes.  If e cigarettes can help anyone to stop smoking and stay stopped  it is has to be better for them. I do not understand why when we find something that works someone always has to try to eliminate it. There are way more serious problems that need to be addressed than this one. Please keep the comments open for 180 days.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2021-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-2125]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland
Security.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical
data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have
been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through
issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Federal
Regulations. The LOMR will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings. For rating purposes, the currently
effective community number is shown in the table below and must be used
for all new policies and renewals.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will be finalized on the dates
listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS report in
effect prior to this determination for the listed communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has 90 days in
which to request through the community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Insurance and Mitigation reconsider the changes. The
flood hazard determination information may be changed during the 90-day
period.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for
comparison.
    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Mapping and Insurance
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.
    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
    These flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for
comparison.

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

    CBOE proposes to correct a hyperlink to the Options Listing
Procedures Plan (``OLPP'') in Rule 5.5A. No substantive changes are
proposed in this filing. The text of the proposed rule change is
available on the Exchange's Web site (http://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 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
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    In SR-CBOE-2009-084, the Exchange codified in new Rule 5.5A certain
provisions of the OLPP pertaining to selecting new option series and
certain strike setting parameters that had been previously adopted
under the OLPP.\3\ As a courtesy to users of the Exchange's electronic
rules, CBOE set forth the hyperlink to a complete copy of the OLPP in
Rule 5.5A(a). The Options Clearing Corporation maintains the Web site
where the complete copy of the OLPP is located. The hyperlink in Rule
5.5A(a) has changed since Rule 5.5A was originally adopted. CBOE now
proposes to amend Rule 5.5A(a) by setting forth the updated hyperlink
to a complete copy of the OLPP. No substantive changes to CBOE rules
are being made by this proposal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 60995 (November 13,
2009), 74 FR 60008 (November 19, 2009) (Notice of Filing and
Immediate Effectiveness of Proposal to Codify Certain Provisions of
the Options Listing Procedures Plan into CBOE's Rules).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) \4\ of the Act and the rules and regulations under
the Act, in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5),\5\
in particular, in that it is designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with
persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, and to
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanisms of a free and open
market and a national market system, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest. The proposal will protect investors
and the public interest by providing them with the correct hyperlink
from which to access a complete copy of the OLPP.

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

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 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

    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 foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) \6\ of the Act and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \7\
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 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.
