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

    The CBOE proposes to extend the duration of CBOE Rule 6.45A(b) (the
``Rule''), relating to the allocation of orders represented in open
outcry in equity option classes designated by the Exchange to be traded
on the CBOE Hybrid Trading System (``Hybrid'') through December 31,
2007. No other changes are being made to the Rule. The text of the
proposed rule change is available at CBOE, the Commission's Public
Reference Room, and (http://www.cboe.org/Legal).

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 CBOE 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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    In March 2005, the Commission approved revisions to CBOE Rule 6.45A
related to the introduction of Remote Market-Makers.\6\ Among other
things, the Rule, pertaining to the allocation of orders represented in
open outcry in equity options classes traded on Hybrid, was amended to
clarify that only in-crowd market participants would be eligible to
participate in open outcry trade allocations. In addition, the Rule was
amended to limit the duration of the Rule until September 14, 2005. The
duration of the Rule was thereafter extended through July 31, 2007.\7\
As the duration period expires on July 31, 2007, the Exchange proposes
to extend the effectiveness of the Rule through December 31, 2007.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 51366 (March 14,
2005), 70 FR 13217 (March 18, 2005) (SR-CBOE-2004-75).
    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 52423 (September
14, 2005), 70 FR 55194 (September 20, 2005) (SR-CBOE-2005-76)
(extending the duration of the Rule through December 14, 2005);
52957 (December 15, 2005), 70 FR 76085 (December 22, 2005) (SR-CBOE-
2005-102) (extending the Rule through March 14, 2006); 53524 (March
21, 2006), 71 FR 15235 (March 27, 2006) (SR-CBOE-2006-22) (extending
the duration of the Rule through July 14, 2006); 54164 (July 17,
2006), 71 FR 42143 (July 25, 2006) (SR-CBOE-2006-60) (extending the
duration of the Rule through October 31, 2006); 54680 (November 1,
2006), 71 FR 65554 (November 8, 2006) (SR-CBOE-2006-86) (extending
the duration of the Rule through January 31, 2007); 55219 (February
1, 2007), 72 FR 6305 (February 9, 2007) (SR-CBOE-2007-10) (extending
the duration of the Rule through April 30, 2007) and 55676 (April
27, 2007), 72 FR 25348 (May 4, 2007) (SR-CBOE-2007-40) (extending
the duration of the Rule through July 31, 2007).
    \8\ In order to effect proprietary transactions on the floor of
the Exchange, in addition to complying with the requirements of the
Rule, members are also required to comply with the requirements of
Section 11(a)(1) of the Act, 15 U.S.C. 78k(a)(1), or qualify for an
exemption. Section 11(a)(1) restricts securities transactions of a
member of any national securities exchange effected on that exchange
for (i) the member's own account, (ii) the account of a person
associated with the member, or (iii) an account over which the
member or a person associated with the member exercises discretion,
unless a specific exemption is available. The Exchange has issued
regulatory circulars to members informing them of the applicability
of these Section 11(a)(1) requirements each time the duration of the
Rule was extended. See CBOE Regulatory Circulars RG05-103 (November
2, 2005), RG06-001 (January 3, 2006), RG06-34 (April 7, 2006), RG06-
79 (July 31, 2006), RG06-115 (November 8, 2006), RG07-21 (February
8, 2007) and RG07-53 (May 17, 2007). The Exchange represents that it
expects to issue a similar regulatory circular to members reminding
them of the applicability of the Section 11(a)(1) requirements with
respect to the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    Extension of the duration of the Rule will allow the Exchange to
continue to operate under the existing allocation parameters for orders
represented in open outcry in Hybrid on an uninterrupted basis.
Accordingly, CBOE believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Act and the rules and regulations under the Act applicable to a
national securities exchange 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, and, in general, to protect investors and the public
interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposal.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (1)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (2) impose any significant burden on competition; and (3)
become operative for thirty days from the date on which it was filed,
or such shorter time as the Commission may designate if consistent with
the protection of investors and the public interest, it has become
effective pursuant to section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \11\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) \12\ thereunder.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \13\ The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the
requirement that the Exchange provide the Commission written notice
of its 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 on which the Exchange filed the
proposed rule change pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii). The
Commission hereby grants this request. See 17 CFR 240.19b-
4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Commission Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \14\
normally does not become operative prior to thirty days after the date
of filing. The CBOE requests that the Commission waive the 30-day
operative delay, as specified in Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii), and designate
the proposed rule change to become operative immediately to allow the
Exchange to continue to operate under the existing allocation
parameters for orders represented in open outcry in Hybrid on an
uninterrupted basis. The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day
operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the
public interest because such waiver will allow the CBOE to continue to
operate under the Rule without interruption. For these reasons, the
Commission designates the proposed rule change as operative upon
filing.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \15\ For the purposes only of waiving the operative date of this
proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact
on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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.

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

proposed VaR Floor would limit FICC's credit exposures to Netting
Members in the event that the proposed VaR model utilizing the
sensitivity approach yields too low a VaR Charge for such portfolios,
(5) the proposal eliminates the Blackout Period Exposure, Coverage
Charge and augmented volatility adjustment multiplier because FICC
should not maintain elements of the prior model that would
unnecessarily increase Netting Members' Required Fund Deposits, (6) the
proposal to add the proposed Blackout Period Exposure Adjustment as a
new component would limit FICC's credit exposures during the Blackout
Period caused by GCF Repo Transactions collateralized mortgage-backed
securities with risk characteristics that are not effectively captured
by the Required Fund Deposit calculation, (7) the proposal to amend the
Backtesting Charge to consider backtesting deficiencies attributable to
GCF Repo Transactions collateralized with mortgage-backed securities
during the Blackout Period would help to ensure that FICC could cover
credit exposure to GCF Counterparties, (8) the proposed Intraday
Backtesting Charge would help to ensure that FICC collects appropriate
margin from Netting Members that have backtesting deficiencies during
the trading day due to large fluctuations of intraday trading activity
that could pose risk to FICC in the event that such Netting Members
defaults during the trading day, and (9) the proposed change to the
Excess Capital Premium calculation would help to ensure that FICC does
not unnecessarily increase its calculation and collection of Required
Fund Deposit amounts for Broker Netting Members, Inter-Dealer Broker
Netting Members and Dealer Netting Members.
    Therefore, FICC believes that the proposed changes would be
consistent with Rule 17Ad-22(e)(6)(iii) of the Act cited above because
the proposed rules changes would collectively be designed to help
ensure that FICC calculates Required Fund Deposit amounts that are
sufficient to cover FICC's potential future exposure to Netting Members
in the interval between the last margin collection and the close out of
positions following a participant default.
    Rule 17Ad-22(e)(6)(iv) under the Act \82\ requires a clearing
agency to establish, implement, maintain and enforce written policies
and procedures reasonably designed to cover its credit exposures to its
participants by establishing a risk-based margin system that, at a
minimum, uses reliable sources of timely price data and procedures and
sound valuation models for addressing circumstances in which pricing
data are not readily available or reliable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \82\ See 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(6)(iv).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FICC believes that the proposed change to implement a haircut
method for securities that lack sufficient historical information is
consistent with Rule 17Ad-22(e)(6)(iv) of the Act cited above because
the proposed change would allow FICC to use appropriate market data to
estimate an appropriate margin at a 99% confidence level, thus helping
to ensure that sufficient margin would be calculated for portfolios
that contain these securities.
    Rule 17Ad-22(e)(6)(v) under the Act \83\ requires a clearing agency
to establish, implement, maintain and enforce written policies and
procedures reasonably designed to cover its credit exposures to its
participants by establishing a risk-based margin system that, at a
minimum, uses an appropriate method for measuring credit exposure that
accounts for relevant product risk factors and portfolio effects across
products.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \83\ See 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(6)(v).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FICC believes that the proposed changes to implement a haircut
method for securities that lack sufficient historical information is
consistent with Rule 17Ad-22(e)(6)(v) of the Act cited above because
the haircut method would allow FICC to use appropriate market data to
estimate an appropriate margin at a 99% confident level, thus

helping to ensure that sufficient margin would be calculated for
portfolios that contain these securities.
    FICC also believes that its proposal to replace the Blackout Period
Exposure Charge with the Blackout Period Exposure Adjustment is
consistent with Rule 17Ad-22(e)(6)(v) of the Act cited above because
the proposed Blackout Period Exposure Adjustment would limit FICC's
credit exposures during the Blackout Period caused by portfolios with
collateralized mortgage-backed securities with risk characteristics
that are not effectively captured by the Required Fund Deposit
calculation.
    Therefore, FICC believes that the proposed haircut method and the
proposed Blackout Period Exposure Adjustment are consistent with Rule
17Ad-22(e)(6)(v) of the Act cited above because the proposed changes
appropriate method for measuring credit exposure that accounts for
relevant product risk factors and portfolio effects across products.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Advance Notice, and Timing for
Commission Action

    The proposed change may be implemented if the Commission does not
object to the proposed change within 60 days of the later of (i) the
date that the proposed change was filed with the Commission or (ii) the
date that any additional information requested by the Commission is
received. The clearing agency shall not implement the proposed change
if the Commission has any objection to the proposed change.
    The Commission may extend the period for review by an additional 60
days if the proposed change raises novel or complex issues, subject to
the Commission providing the clearing agency with prompt written notice
of the extension. A proposed change may be implemented in less than 60
days from the date the advance notice is filed, or the date further
information requested by the Commission is received, if the Commission
notifies the clearing agency in writing that it does not object to the
proposed change and authorizes the clearing agency to implement the
proposed change on an earlier date, subject to any conditions imposed
by the Commission.
    The clearing agency shall post notice on its website of proposed
changes that are implemented.
    The proposal shall not take effect until all regulatory actions
required with respect to the proposal are completed.
