options trading permit (‘‘OTP’’) (for 

which a Market Maker holds a primary 

appointment) beyond the first OTP held 

by such Market Maker. This waiver 

expired on June 30, 2004. Hence, the 

Exchange proposes to delete this 

language as obsolete. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposal is consistent with section 6(b) 

of the Act,3 in general, and furthers the 

objectives of section 6(b)(5) of the Act, 4

in particular, because it is designed to 

promote just and equitable principals of 

trade, to foster cooperation and 

coordination with persons engaged in 

facilitating transactions in securities, to 

remove impediments to and perfect the 

mechanism of a free and open market 

and a national market system, and to 

protect investors and the public interest.

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 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 

Written comments were neither 

solicited nor received with respect to 

the proposed rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

The foregoing proposed rule change 

has become effective pursuant to section 

19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act 5 and 

subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b–4 6

thereunder, because the proposed rule 

change establishes or changes a due, fee, 

or other charge imposed by the 

Exchange. 

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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments
