Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed
Rule Change to Expand the Short Term Option Series Program

February 9, 2011.
    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 January 31, 2011, the Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated (``CBOE''or the ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or ``Commission'') the proposed rule
change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been
prepared by the Exchange. The Exchange filed the proposal as a ``non-
controversial'' proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\4\ The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

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

    CBOE proposes to amend Rules 5.5 and 24.9 to expand the Exchange's
Short Term Option Series Program (``Weeklys Program'') so that the
Exchange may select fifteen option classes on which Weekly options may
be opened. The text of the rule proposal is available on the Exchange's
Web site (http://www.cboe.org/legal), 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 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
    The purpose of this proposed rule change is to amend Rules 5.5 and
24.9 to expand the Weeklys Program so that the Exchange may select
fifteen option classes on which Weekly options may be opened.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ On July 12, 2005, the Commission approved the Weeklys
Program on a pilot basis. See Securities Exchange Act Release No.
52011 (July 12, 2005), 70 FR 41451 (July 19, 2005) (SR-CBOE-2004-
63). The Weeklys Program was made permanent on April 27, 2009. See
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59824 (April 27, 2009), 74 FR
20518 (May 4, 2009) (SR-CBOE-2009-018).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Weeklys Program is codified in Rule 5.5 and 24.9. These rules
provide that after an option class has been approved for listing and
trading on the Exchange, the Exchange may open for trading on any
Thursday or Friday that is a business day series of options on no more
than five option classes that expire on the Friday of the following
business week that is a business day. In addition to the five-option
class limitation, there is also a limitation that no more than twenty
series for each expiration date in those classes that may be opened for
trading.\6\ Furthermore, the strike price of

each Weekly option has to be fixed with approximately the same number
of strike prices being opened above and below the value of the
underlying security at about the time that the Weekly options are
initially opened for trading on the Exchange, and with strike prices
being within thirty percent (30%) above or below the closing price of
the underlying security from the preceding day. The Exchange does not
propose any changes to these additional Weeklys Program limitations.
The Exchange proposes only to increase from five to fifteen the number
of option classes that may be opened pursuant to the Weeklys Program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ However, if the Exchange opens less than twenty (20) Weekly
options for a Weekly Option Expiration Date, additional series may
be opened for trading on the Exchange when the Exchange deems it
necessary to maintain an orderly market, to meet customer demand or
when the market price of the underlying security moves substantially
from the exercise price or prices of the series already opened. Any
additional strike prices listed by the Exchange shall be within
thirty percent (30%) above or below the current price of the
underlying security. The Exchange may also open additional strike
prices of Weekly Option Series that are more than 30% above or below
the current price of the underlying security provided that
demonstrated customer interest exists for such series, as expressed
by institutional, corporate or individual customers or their brokers
(market-makers trading for their own account shall not be considered
when determining customer interest under this provision).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The principal reason for the proposed expansion is customer demand
for adding, or not removing, Weekly option classes from the Program.
Since there is reciprocity in matching other exchange's Weekly option
choices, CBOE discontinues trading Weekly option classes that other
exchanges change from week-to-week. CBOE believes that these class pick
changes have negatively impacted investors and traders, particularly
retail public customers, who have on several occasions requested the
Exchange not to remove Weekly option classes or add Weekly option
classes.
    CBOE understands that a retail investor recently requested another
exchange to reinstate a Weekly option class that that exchange had
removed from trading because of the five-class option limit within the
Weekly Program. The investor advised that the removed class was as a
powerful tool for hedging a market sector, and that various strategies
that the investor put into play were disrupted and eliminated when the
class was removed. CBOE feels that it is essential that such negative,
potentially very costly impacts on retail investors are eliminated by
modestly expanding the Program to enable additional classes to be
traded.
    With regard to the impact of this proposal on system capacity, the
Exchange has analyzed its capacity and represents that it and the
Options Price Reporting Authority (``OPRA'') have the necessary systems
capacity to handle the potential additional traffic associated with
trading of an expanded number of classes in the Weeklys Program.
    The Exchange believes that the Weeklys Program has provided
investors with greater trading opportunities and flexibility and the
ability to more closely tailor their investment and risk management
strategies and decisions. Furthermore, the Exchange has had to
eliminate option classes on numerous occasions because of the
limitation imposed by the Program.\7\ For these reasons, the Exchange
requests an expansion of the current Weeklys Program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ As discussed above, because of the reciprocity provision of
the Weeklys Program, the classes that CBOE lists to participate in
the Weeklys Program change when another exchange changes its class
selections for the Weeklys Program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') \8\ and the rules and
regulations thereunder and, in particular, the requirements of Section
6(b) of the Act.\9\ Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed
rule change is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) \10\ requirements
that the rules of an exchange be designed to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts, to
remove impediments to and to perfect the mechanism for a free and open
market and a national market system, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest. The Exchange believes that expanding
the number of classes eligible to participate in the Weeklys Program
will allow the investing public and other market participants to better
manage their risk exposure, and would benefit investors by giving them
more flexibility to closely tailor their investment decisions in a
greater number of securities. While the expansion of the Weeklys
Program will generate additional quote traffic, the Exchange does not
believe that this increased traffic will become unmanageable since the
proposal is limited to a fixed number of classes. Further, the Exchange
does not believe that the proposal will result in a material
proliferation of additional series because it is limited to a fixed
number of classes and the Exchange does not believe that the additional
price points will result in fractured liquidity.

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 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 does not significantly
affect the protection of investors or the public interest, does not
impose any significant burden on competition, and, by its terms, does
not become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed,
or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \11\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the
Exchange's intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a
brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at least
five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The
Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day
operative delay. The Commission believes that waiver of the operative
delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public
interest because the proposal is substantially similar to that of
another exchange that has been approved by the Commission.\13\
Therefore, the Commission designates the proposal operative upon
filing.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63875 (February 9,
2011) (SR-Phlx-2010-183) (order approving expansion of Short Term
Option Program).
    \14\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

    The Exchange, pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Act \3\ and Rule
19b-4 thereunder,\4\ proposes to delete the XLE Fee Schedule \5\ and to
delete references to XLE fees from Appendix A of the Exchange's fee

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to update the Exchange's
fee schedules by deleting fees that are no longer applicable. Recently,
the Exchange ceased operation of the technology used to operate
XLE[supreg].\6\ At this time, XLE[supreg] is no longer available to
accept orders and is no longer available to execute any transactions.
Therefore, the Exchange proposes to delete all fees relating to
XLE[supreg] from its fee schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 58613 (September 22,
2008), 73 FR 57181 (October 1, 2008) (SR-Phlx-2008-65). The Exchange
ceased operation of the technology used to operate XLE[supreg] on
October 24, 2008.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to amend its schedule of
fees is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act \7\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \8\ in
particular, in that it is an equitable allocation of reasonable fees
and other charges among Exchange members. Deleting XLE[supreg]-related
fees from the Exchange's fee schedule is necessary given that the
Exchange has ceased operation of the technology used to operate
XLE[supreg].

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

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.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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)(ii) of the Act \9\ and paragraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4 \10\
thereunder. 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.
