SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-52578; File No. SR-ISE-2005-27]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
Inc.; Order Approving Proposed Rule Change and Amendment No. 1 and
Notice of Filing and Order Granting Accelerated Approval to Amendment
No. 4 to the Proposed Rule Change Relating to Listing Standards for
Broad-Based Index Options

October 7, 2005.

I. Introduction

    On May 19, 2005, the International Securities Exchange, Inc.
(``ISE'' 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 establish listing and
maintenance standards and position limits for options on broad-based
indexes. The ISE filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change on
July 13, 2005.\3\ The proposed rule change, as amended by Amendment No.
1, was published for comment in the Federal Register on July 27,
2005.\4\ The Commission received no comments regarding the proposal, as
amended. The ISE filed Amendment No. 2 to the proposed rule change on
September 26, 2005, and withdrew Amendment No. 2 on September 28, 2005.
The ISE filed Amendment No. 3 to the proposed rule change on September
28, 2005, and withdrew Amendment No. 3 on October 6, 2005. The ISE
filed Amendment No. 4 to the proposal on October 6, 2005.\5\ This order
approves the proposed rule change, as amended. In addition, the
Commission is publishing notice to solicit comments on, and is
simultaneously approving, on an accelerated basis, Amendment No. 4 to
the proposal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Amendment No. 1 makes technical corrections to the proposal,
including revisions that clarify the applicability of the market
capitalization and options eligibility requirements in ISE Rule
2002(d).
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 52084 (July 20,
2005), 70 FR 43481.
    \5\ Amendment No. 4 revises the proposal to: (1) Provide that an
index's component securities must be ``NMS stocks'' rather than
``reported securities;'' (2) identify the entities or services that
will disseminate index values; (3) state that the ISE has an
adequate surveillance program for broad-based index options; and (4)
clarify that the position limits for broad-based index options apply
to option contracts on the same side of the market.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change

    The ISE proposes to adopt ISE Rule 2002(d) to establish initial
listing standards for broad-based index options. The proposal will
allow the ISE to list, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(e) under the Act,\6\
broad-based index options that meet the listing standards in ISE Rule
2002(d). The listing standards require, among other things, that the
underlying index be broad-based, as defined in ISE Rule 2001(j); that
options on the index be a.m.-settled; that the index be capitalization-
weighted, modified capitalization-weighted, price-weighted, or equal
dollar-weighted; and that the index be comprised of at least 50
securities, all of which must be ``NMS stocks,'' as defined in Rule 600
of Regulation NMS.\7\ In addition, ISE Rule 2002(d) requires that the
index's component securities meet certain minimum market capitalization
and average daily trading volume requirements; that no single component
account for more than 10% of the weight of the index and that the five
highest weighed components represent no more than 33% of the weight of
the index; that the index value be widely disseminated at least every
15 seconds; and that the ISE have written surveillance procedures in
place with respect to the index options.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(e).
    \7\ See Amendment No. 4, supra note 5. Rule 600 of Regulation
NMS defines an ``NMS stock'' to mean ``any NMS security other than
an option.'' An ``NMS security'' is ``any security or class of
securities for which transaction reports are collected, processed,
and made available pursuant to an effective transaction reporting
plan, or an effective national market system plan for reporting
transactions in listed options.'' See 17 CFR 242.600.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The ISE also proposes to adopt ISE Rule 2002(e), which establishes
maintenance standards for broad-based index options listed pursuant to
ISE Rule 2002(d). In addition, the ISE proposes to amend ISE Rule
2004(a) to establish a position limit of 25,000 contracts on the same
side of the market for broad-based index options listed pursuant to ISE
Rule 2002(d).\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Amendment No. 4, supra note 5.

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

III. Discussion

    After careful review, 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. In particular, the Commission finds that the
proposed rule change, as amended, is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of
the Act,\9\ which requires, among other things, that the rules of a
national securities exchange be designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To list options on a particular broad-based index, the ISE
currently must file a proposed rule change with the Commission pursuant
to Section 19(b)(1) of the Act and Rule 19b-4 thereunder. However, Rule
19b-4(e) provides that the listing and trading of a new derivative
securities product by a self-regulatory organization (``SRO'') will not
be deemed a proposed rule change pursuant to Rule 19b-4(c)(1) if the
Commission has approved, pursuant to Section 19(b) of the Act, the
SRO's trading rules, procedures, and listing standards for the product
class that would include the new derivative securities product, and the
SRO has a surveillance program for the product class.
    As described more fully above, the ISE proposes to establish
listing standards for broad-based index options. The Commission's
approval of the ISE's listing standards for broad-based index options
will allow options that satisfy the listing standards to begin trading
pursuant to Rule 19b-4(e), without constituting a proposed rule change
within the meaning of Section 19(b) of the Act and Rule 19b-4, for
which notice and comment and Commission approval is necessary.\10\ The
ISE's ability to rely on Rule 19b-4(e) to list broad-based index
options that meet the requirements of ISE Rule 2002(d) potentially
reduces the time frame for bringing these securities to the market,
thereby promoting competition and making new broad-based index options
available to investors more quickly.
    The Commission notes that the ISE has represented that it has
adequate trading rules, procedures, listing standards, and surveillance
program for broad-based index options. ISE's existing index option
trading rules and procedures will apply to broad-based index options
listed pursuant to ISE Rule 2002(d). Other existing ISE rules,
including provisions addressing sales practices and margin
requirements, also will apply to these options. In addition, the ISE
proposes to establish position and exercise limits of 25,000 contracts
on the same side of the market for broad-based index options listed
pursuant to ISE Rule 2002(d).\11\ The Commission believes that the
proposed position and exercise limits should serve to minimize
potential manipulation concerns.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ When relying on Rule 19b-4(e), the SRO must submit Form
19b-4(e) to the Commission within five business days after the SRO
begins trading the new derivative securities product. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 40761 (December 8, 1998), 63 FR 70952
(December 22, 1998) (File No. S7-13-98).
    \11\ See Amendment No. 4, supra note 5. Under ISE Rule 2007, the
exercise limits for index options are equivalent to the position
limits prescribed for option contracts with the nearest expiration
in ISE Rule 2004 or ISE Rule 2005.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The ISE represents that it has adequate surveillance procedures for
broad-based index options and that it intends to apply its existing
surveillance procedures for index options to monitor trading in broad-
based index options listed pursuant to ISE Rule 2002(d).\12\ In
addition, because ISE Rule 2002(d) requires that each component of an
index be an ``NMS stock,'' as defined in Rule 600 of Regulation NMS
under the Act, each index component must trade on a registered national
securities exchange or through Nasdaq. Accordingly, the ISE will have
access to information concerning trading activity in the component
securities of an underlying index through the Intermarket Surveillance
Group (``ISG'').\13\ ISE Rule 2002(d) also provides that non-U.S. index
components that are not subject to a comprehensive surveillance sharing
agreement between the ISE and the primary market(s) trading the index
components may comprise no more than 20% of the weight of the
index.\14\ The Commission believes that these requirements will help to
ensure that the ISE has the ability to monitor trading in broad-based
index options listed pursuant to ISE Rule 2002(d) and in the component
securities of the underlying indexes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Amendment No. 4, supra note 5.
    \13\ The ISG was formed on July 14, 1983, to, among other
things, coordinate more effectively surveillance and investigative
information sharing arrangements in the stock and options markets.
All of the registered national securities exchanges and the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., are members of the ISG. In
addition, futures exchanges and non-U.S. exchanges and associations
are affiliate members of the ISG.
    \14\ However, such non-U.S. index components, as ``NMS stocks,''
would be registered under Section 12 of the Act and listed and
traded on a national securities exchange or Nasdaq, where there is
last sale reporting.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that the requirements in ISE Rule 2002(d)
regarding, among other things, the minimum market capitalization,
trading volume, and relative weightings of an underlying index's
component stocks are designed to ensure that the markets for the
index's component stocks are adequately capitalized and sufficiently
liquid, and that no one stock dominates the index. In addition, ISE
Rule 2002(d) requires that the underlying index be ``broad-based,'' as
defined in ISE Rule 2001(j).\15\ The Commission believes that these
requirements minimize the potential for manipulating the underlying
index.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ ISE Rule 2001(j) defines ``broad-based index'' to mean ``an
index designed to be representative of a stock market as a whole or
of a range of companies in unrelated industries.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that the requirement in ISE Rule 2002(d)
that the current index value be widely disseminated at least once every
15 seconds by the Options Price Reporting Authority, the Consolidated
Tape Association, the Nasdaq Index Dissemination Service or by one or
more major market data vendors during the time an index option trades
on the ISE should provide transparency with respect to current index
values and contribute to the transparency of the market for broad-based
index options.\16\ In addition, the Commission believes, as it has
noted in other contexts, that the requirement in ISE Rule 2002(d) that
an index option be settled based on the opening prices of the index's
component securities, rather than on closing prices, could help to
reduce the potential impact of expiring index options on the market for
the index's component securities.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See Amendment No. 4, supra note 5. The Commission notes,
however, that if the ISE designated a data vendor, on an exclusive
basis, to disseminate index values on behalf of the ISE, such vendor
would be an ``exclusive processor'' under Section 3(a)(22)(B) of the
Act and, absent an exemption, would be required to register as a
securities information processor under Section 11A(b)(1) of the Act.
    \17\ See, e.g., Securities Exchange Act Release No. 30944 (July
21, 1992), 57 FR 33376 (July 28, 1992) (order approving a Chicago
Board Options Exchange, Incorporated proposal to establish opening
price settlement for S&P 500 Index options).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Accelerated Approval of Amendment No. 4

    The Commission finds good cause for approving Amendment No. 4 to
the

proposed rule change prior to the thirtieth day after the date of
publication of notice of filing thereof in the Federal Register.
Amendment No. 4 strengthens and clarifies the proposal by revising the
proposal to: (1) Provide that an index's component securities must be
``NMS stocks'' rather than ``reported securities;'' (2) identify the
entities or services that will disseminate index values; (3) state that
the ISE has an adequate surveillance program for broad-based index
options; and (4) clarify that the position limits for broad-based index
options apply to option contracts on the same side of the market.
Accordingly, the Commission finds that it is consistent with Sections
6(b)(5) and 19(b) of the Act to approve Amendment No. 4 on an
accelerated basis.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-67675; File No. SR-C2-2012-027]

 Self-Regulatory Organizations; C2 Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change Making Technical, Non-Substantive Clarifications
to its Fees Schedule

August 16, 2012.
    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 August 3, 2012, C2 Options Exchange, Incorporated (the
``Exchange'' or ``C2'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``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 make technical, non-substantive
clarifications to its Fees Schedule. The text of the proposed rule
change is available on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.c2exchange.com/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 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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to make clarifying, non-substantive changes
to its Fees Schedule in order to make it easier to comprehend for
market participants. First, the Exchange proposes to begin referring to
``straight, one-sided orders'' as ``simple orders''. Investors
generally refer to orders as either ``simple'' or ``complex'' and the
terminology ``straight, one-sided orders'' is not as commonly-known.
Since simple orders are straight, one-sided orders, the Exchange
proposes to call ``straight, one-sided orders'' ``simple orders'' in
order to make the Fees Schedule easier for investors to understand. The
Exchange further proposes to clarify that such orders are not complex
orders (to which a separate set of fees apply) by referring to simple
orders as ``simple, non-complex'' orders.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Commission notes that, in this proposed rule change, C2
failed to update similar references to ``straight one-sided orders''
in Section 1.B. of its Fees Schedule. C2 has submitted a separate
proposed rule change to update these references. See SR-C2-2012-028.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Second, the Fees Schedule currently applies sets of fees for simple
and complex transactions (with the exception of SPXPM) to ``multiply-
listed, equity and ETF options classes.'' While this is true, since
SPXPM (as a singly-listed index options class) is neither a multiply-
listed, equity or ETF options class, it reads slightly confusingly
because there is no mention of index options classes. As such, the
Exchange proposes to replace the term ``multiply-listed, equity and ETF
options classes'' with ``multiply-listed index, equity and ETF options

area will extend over the navigable waters of the Atlantic Ocean. A
fleet of spectator vessels are anticipated to gather nearby to view the
fireworks display. Due to the need to protect mariners and spectators
from the hazards associated with the fireworks displays, such as the
accidental discharge of fireworks, dangerous projectiles, and falling
hot embers or other debris, vessel traffic will be temporarily
restricted. Vessels may not enter the regulated area unless they
receive permission from the Captain of the Port or his Representative.

D. Discussion of the Proposed Rule

    There will be a temporary change to the Table in Sec.  165.506(c),
to add event number ``25.'' The Coast Guard will establish a safety
zone on the waters of the Atlantic Ocean within a 1000 yard radius of
the center located near the shoreline at position 36[deg]-51'-12'' N /
075[deg]-58'-06'' W (NAD 1983), in the vicinity of Virginia Beach,
Virginia. This safety zone will be enforced on September 11, 2014
between the hours of 9:15 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. Access to the safety zone
will be restricted during the specified dates and times.
    Except for vessels authorized by the Captain of the Port or his
Representative, no person or vessel may enter or remain in the safety
zone during the time frame listed. The Captain of the Port will give
notice of the enforcement of the safety zone by all appropriate means
to provide the widest dissemination of notice among the affected
segments of the public. This will include publication in the Local
Notice to Mariners and Marine Information Broadcasts.

E. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on these statutes and executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
as supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders. The primary impact of
these regulations will be on vessels wishing to transit the affected
waterways during the safety zone on the Atlantic Ocean in the vicinity
of Virginia Beach, VA from 9:15 p.m. until 9:45 p.m. on September 11,
2014. Although these regulations prevent traffic from transiting a
portion of the Atlantic Ocean during these events, that restriction is
limited in duration, affects only a limited area, and will be well
publicized to allow mariners to make alternative plans for transiting
the affected area.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    This proposed rule will affect the following entities, some of
which might be small entities: the owners or operators of vessels
intending to transit or anchor in waters of the Atlantic Ocean during
the outlined timeframe.
    This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: (i) The
safety zone will only be in place for a limited duration, and (ii)
before the enforcement period, maritime advisories will be issued
allowing mariners to adjust their plans accordingly.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT, above.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-

888-REG-FAIR (1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate
against small entities that question or complain about this rule or any
policy or action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule will not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
determined that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule will not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule will not cause a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and does not
create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects

    This proposed rule is not a ``significant energy action'' under
Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have determined that this action is one of a category of actions that
do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the
human environment. This proposed rule involves the establishment of a
safety zone. This proposed rule is categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph 34-g of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant
Instruction. An environmental analysis checklist supporting this
determination and a Categorical Exclusion Determination are available
in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or
information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this rule.
