SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-57902; File No. SR-Amex-2008-45]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; American Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change
Relating to Exchange-Traded Note Transaction Fees

June 2, 2008.
    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 May 23, 2008, the American Stock Exchange LLC (``Exchange'' or
``Amex'') 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 substantially 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 apply the Exchange-Traded Fund and Trust-
Issued Receipts Fee Schedule (``ETF Fee Schedule'') to transactions in
exchange-traded notes (``ETNs'').
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on Amex's Web
site at http://www.amex.com, at the Exchange's principal office, 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 apply the ETF Fee Schedule to transactions
in ETNs beginning June 1, 2008.
    ETNs are securities listed under Sections 107D (Index-Linked
Securities), 107E (Commodity-Linked Securities), 107F (Currency-Linked
Securities), 107G (Fixed Income-Linked Securities), 107H (Futures-
Linked Securities), or 107I (Combination-Linked Securities) of the Amex
Company Guide that offer redemption at least weekly to holders of such
securities. In February 2008, the Commission approved an Exchange
proposal to permit ETNs to be subject to the AEMI trading rules
specific to exchange-traded funds (``ETFs'').\3\ Currently, ETNs are
subject to the transaction charges for equities traded on the Exchange.
The instant proposal would provide that ETNs be subject to the
identical fees that currently apply to ETFs traded on the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57400 (February 29,
2008), 73 FR 12234 (March 6, 2008) (SR-Amex-2007-109).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently, ETF transaction charges differ from equity transaction
charges relating to customer accounts \4\ and are $0.0023 per share (or
$0.23 per 100 shares), subject to a $100 per transaction cap, resulting
in transaction charges being assessed only on the first 43,478 shares.
ETF and equity transaction charges both include: (i) A $0.0004 per
share (or $0.04 per 100 shares) clearing charge for orders routed to
and executed at another market center; (ii) a $0.0030 per share (or
$0.30 per 100 shares) charge for orders routed to and executed at
another market; and (iii) 0.3% of the total dollar value for
transactions in a security with a share price of less than $1.00 (for
ETFs the per transaction maximum fee of $100 applies). Transactions in
both ETFs and equities also are subject to an order cancellation
fee.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Customer accounts are defined for purposes of the fee
schedule to include accounts for all market participants except
specialists, Registered Traders, and Designated Amex Remote Traders
(DARTs). Therefore, customer accounts (and the fees charged to them)
include members' off-floor proprietary accounts, competing market
makers on other exchanges, and other member and non-member broker-
dealers.
    \5\ The ETF and equity order cancellation fee provides that the
executing clearing member is charged $0.25 for every additional
equities and ETF order sent for a mnemonic and cancelled through
Amex systems in a given month when the total number of equities and
ETF orders cancelled for that mnemonic is more than 50 times the
equities and ETF orders executed through Amex systems for that
mnemonic in that same month. Cancellations resulting from
``Immediate or Cancel'' or ``Fill or Kill'' orders and cancellations
entered to cancel at the opening orders not executed at the opening
will not be counted towards the number of cancellations used to
determine whether the fee should be applied to a mnemonic and will
not be counted when determining the amount of the cancellation fee
charged to an executing clearing member. Executions of ``Immediate
or Cancel'' and ``Fill or Kill'' orders will however be counted
towards the number of executions. The Equities Order Cancellation
Fee and ETF Order Cancellation Fee set forth in the Equity Fee
Schedule and ETF Fee Schedule, respectively, would be revised under
this proposal to clarify that ETN orders be included as part of the
calculation to determine whether the order cancellation fee applies
to a particular executing clearing member.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Consistent with the Exchange's current ETF revenue sharing program,
the Exchange proposes to distribute revenue to the specialists,
Registered Traders, and DARTs as outlined below. This is identical to
the revenue sharing program that exists in connection with ETFs.
    ETN specialists may receive an aggregate revenue sharing program
payment (calculated monthly) of as much as $0.0024 per share (or $0.24
per 100 shares) whenever the specialist either buys or sells its
specialty ETN on the Exchange and is a provider of liquidity in that
transaction (e.g. , whose quote is traded against or who offsets an
order imbalance as part of an opening or closing transaction). The
revenue sharing program payment is comprised of $0.0004 per share (or
$0.04 per 100 shares) for all shares executed on the Exchange in its
specialty ETN (irrespective of whether the specialist is the provider
of liquidity), plus another $0.0020 (or $0.20 per 100 shares) if the
specialist is the provider of liquidity in the transaction. If the
specialist is not the liquidity provider, then the revenue sharing
program payment is limited to $0.0004 per share executed on the
Exchange in its specialty ETN.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See e-mail from Jeffrey Burns, Vice President and Associate
General Counsel, Amex, to Nathan Saunders, Special Counsel, and
Linda Jeng-Braun, Attorney, Division of Trading and Markets,
Commission, dated May 29, 2008.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A Registered Trader in ETNs will receive a revenue sharing payment
of $0.0010 per share (or $0.10 per 100 shares) whenever the Registered
Trader either buys or sells an ETN on the Exchange and is a provider of
liquidity in that transaction. A DART in ETNs will receive a revenue
sharing payment of $0.0015 per share (or $0.15 per 100 shares) whenever
the DART either buys or sells an ETN on the Exchange and is a provider
of liquidity in that transaction.\7\ Neither the specialist, Registered
Trader, nor DART will receive a payment when it is a contra-party to
the same transaction. It should be noted that revenue sharing will also
be paid on transactions in securities trading at less than $1.00 equal
to the amount collected by the Exchange. However, the revenue sharing
payment will be paid only on the portion of a transaction for which the
Exchange collects revenue.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ DARTs were recently added to the revenue sharing program for
ETFs. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57540 (March 20,
2008), 73 FR 16399 (March 27, 2008) (SR-Amex-2008-23).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act
\8\ in general and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the
Act \9\ in particular in that it is intended to assure the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its
members and issuers and other persons using its facilities.
Specifically, the Exchange believes that the proposal provides for an
equitable allocation of reasonable fees among Exchange members through
the application of existing ETF transaction charges to ETNs.

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).

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

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

    The Exchange believes that 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

    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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change establishes or changes a
due, fee, or other charge imposed by the Exchange, it has become
effective upon filing pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \10\
and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) thereunder.\11\ 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.

Discussion

    Transport Canada (TC), which is the aviation authority for Canada,
has issued AD No. CF-2009-41, dated November 16, 2009 (AD CF-2009-41),
to correct an unsafe condition for BHTC Model 206L series helicopters,
specifically: Model 206L, serial number (S/N) 45004 through 45153, and
46601 through 46617; Model 206L-1, S/N 45154 through 45790; Model 206L-
3, S/N 51001 through 51612; and Model 206L-4, all S/Ns. TC AD No. CF-
2009-41 was prompted by a new airworthiness limitation for the fitting
that requires an inspection of fitting part number 203-032-409-001 at
each 100-hour or annual inspection. The TC AD requires inspecting the
fitting, and replacing or repairing it if necessary, in accordance with
the Accomplishment Instructions of BHTC Alert Service Bulletin (ASB)
206L-09-158, Revision A, dated August 31, 2009 (ASB 206L-09-158
Revision A). TC further states that incorporating this inspection into
the applicable maintenance manual revision constitutes terminating
action to TC AD No. CF-2009-41. The actions in TC AD No. CF-2009-41 are
intended to detect a crack in a tailboom attachment fitting, which
could result in loss of the tailboom and subsequent loss of control of
the helicopter.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
Canada and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
our bilateral agreement with Canada, TC, its technical representative,
has notified us of the unsafe condition described in its AD. We are
proposing this AD because we evaluated all known relevant information
and determined that an unsafe condition is likely to exist or develop
on other products of the same type design.

Related Service Information

    We reviewed ASB 206L-09-158 Revision A for certain serial-numbered
Model 206L, L-1, L-3, and L-4 helicopters with certain tailboom
assemblies installed. That ASB requires an inspection of the fitting
for a crack, loose rivets, corrosion, and damage at each 100-hour or
annual inspection. If there is a crack, the ASB specifies replacing the
fitting with an airworthy fitting. If there is a loose rivet, the ASB
specifies replacing the rivet with an airworthy rivet. If the fitting
has corrosion or mechanical damage, the ASB specifies determining if
the corrosion or mechanical damage is within acceptable limits. If the
corrosion

or mechanical damage is within acceptable limits, the ASB specifies
repairing the damage in accordance with the instructions contained in
the ASB. If the damage is not within acceptable limits, the ASB
specifies replacing the fitting with an airworthy fitting. TC
classified this ASB as mandatory and issued AD No. CF-2009-41 to ensure
the continued airworthiness of these helicopters.
    Since that time, BHTC has issued ASB 206L-09-158, Revision B, dated
June 1, 2011, for all Model 206L series helicopters. Revision B of the
ASB changes the recurring inspection interval from every 100 flight
hours to every 110 flight-hours.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require, within 100 hours TIS and thereafter
at intervals not exceeding 110 hours TIS, inspecting the upper left
tailboom attachment fitting for a crack, corrosion, damage, or a loose
rivet. If there is a crack or corrosion or damage beyond acceptable
limits, this proposed AD would require replacing the upper left
tailboom attachment fitting with an airworthy fitting. If there is
corrosion or damage within acceptable limits, this proposed AD would
require repairing the fitting. If there is a loose rivet, this proposed
AD would require replacing the loose rivet.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Transport Canada AD

    The Transport Canada AD requires a recurring inspection every 100
hours, while this proposed AD would require the inspection at intervals
not to exceed 110 hours to align with the Bell ASB.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 783 helicopters of
U.S. Registry.
    We estimate that operators may incur the following costs in order
to comply with this AD. At an average labor rate of $85 per hour,
inspecting the fitting will require about 1 work hour, for a cost per
helicopter of $85 and a total cost to U.S. operators of $66,555 per
inspection cycle.
    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary repairs or
replacements that would be required based on the results of the
proposed inspection. We have no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need these repairs or replacements. Repairing a
damaged fitting would require about 8 work-hours and required parts
would cost about $10, for a cost per helicopter of $690. Replacing a
fitting which is damaged beyond the allowable repair limits would
require about 8 work-hours and required parts would cost about $793,
for a cost per helicopter of $1,473. Replacing a loose rivet would
require about 1 work-hour, and required parts would cost about $1, for
a cost per helicopter of $86.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This proposed regulation is
within the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe
condition that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in
this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed, I certify this proposed regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent that
it justifies making a regulatory distinction; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Conditions:  The U.S.-Mexico exemption authority granted is subject to
the dormancy notice requirements set forth in condition 7 of Appendix A
of Order 88-10-2.

On the basis of data officially noticeable under Rule 24(g) of the
Department's regulations, we found the applicant qualified to provide
the exemption services authorized.

- see next page -

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that (1) our action was consistent with Department
policy; (2) grant of the authority was consistent with the public
interest; and (3) grant of the authority would not constitute a major
regulatory action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975.
To the extent not granted, we denied all requests in the referenced
Docket.  We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority granted in this
Notice at any time without hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR
§385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date
of issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and
the filing of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.
