Self-Regulatory Organizations; 

International Securities Exchange, 

LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate 

Effectiveness of Proposed Rule 

Change To Adopt a Minimum Quantity 

Order Type 

March 3, 2010. 

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 February 

23, 2010, the International Securities 

Exchange, LLC (the ‘‘Exchange’’ or the 

‘‘ISE’’) 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 ISE filed 

this proposal pursuant to Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6) under the Act.3 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 

The Exchange proposes to adopt a 

minimum quantity order type. The text 

of the proposed rule change is as 

follows (deletions are in [brackets]; 

additions are underlined): 

Rule 715. Types of Orders 

(a) through (k) no change. 

(l) Minimum Quantity Orders. A minimum 

quantity order is an order that is available for 

partial execution, but each partial execution 

must be for a specified number of contracts 

or greater. If the balance of the order after 

one or more partial executions is less than 

the minimum, such balance is treated as allor-none. 

Rule 713. Priority of Quotes and Orders 

(a) through (f) no change. 

Supplementary Material to Rule 713 

.01 No change. 

.02 All-or none orders, as defined in Rule 

715(c), and minimum quantity orders, as 

defined in Rule 715(l), are contingency orders 

that have no priority on the book. Such 

orders are maintained in the system and 

remain available for execution after all other 

trading interest at the same price has been 

exhausted. 

.03 through .04 no change. 

Rule 717. Limitations on Orders 

* * * * * 

Supplementary Material to Rule 717 

.01–.03 No Change. 

.04 [A] [n]Non-marketable all-or-none 

limit orders and non-marketable minimum 

quantity orders shall be deemed ‘‘exposed’’ 

for the purposes of paragraphs (d) and (e) one 

second following a broadcast notifying 

market participants that such an order to buy 

or sell a specified number of contracts at a 

specified price either all-or-none or with a 

specified minimum quantity has been 

received in the options series. For nonmarketable minimum quantity orders, the 

broadcast will specify the minimum quantity 

that can be executed. 

.05 No change.

(‘‘CBOE’’) Rule 43.2(a)(9)(E) (Types of Orders

5 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). 

6 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 

19b4(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, 

or such shorted time as designated by the 

Commission. The Exchange provided a copy of this 

rule filing to the Commission at least five business 

days prior to the date of this filing. 

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 these statements may be examined at 

the places specified in Item IV below. 

The self-regulatory organization 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 seeks to allow members 

to enter minimum quantity orders on 

the Exchange. A minimum quantity 

order is an order that is available for 

partial execution, but each partial 

execution must be for a specified 

number of contracts or greater. If the 

balance of the order after one or more 

partial executions is less than the 

minimum, such balance is treated as allor-none. This order type currently is 

available on other options exchanges.4

Like all-or-none orders, minimum 

quantity orders are contingency orders 

that are not displayed in the Exchange’s 

best bid or offer. However, the Exchange 

will disseminate to market participants 

an indication that a minimum quantity 

order has been entered. As is the case 

with all-or-none orders, pursuant to 

Rule 717(d) and (e), the entering 

member will be required to wait at least 

one second before entering a contra-side 

proprietary or solicited order that would 

execute against the minimum quantity 

order. While the Exchange believes it is 

unlikely that this order type would be 

used for crossing purposes, 

disseminating the arrival of the order in 

the same manner as all-or-none orders 

will minimize inadvertent violations of 

Rule 717(d) or (e) and increase the 

opportunity for market participants to 

provide liquidity to the orders. 

2. Basis 

The basis under the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 (the ‘‘Act’’) for this 

proposed rule change is the requirement 

under Section 6(b)(5) that an exchange 

have rules that are designed to promote 

just and equitable principles of trade, 

and to remove impediments to and 

perfect the mechanism for a free and 

open market and a national market 

system, and in general, to protect 

investors and the public interest. In 

particular, the proposal will provide 

members with an additional order type 

that they may chose to utilize on the 

Exchange. Additionally, under the 

proposed rule change minimum 

quantity orders will be exposed to 

members so that there is a greater 

opportunity for market participants to 

interact with such orders. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

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 

The Exchange has not solicited, and 

does not intend to solicit, comments on 

this proposed rule change. The 

Exchange has not received any 

unsolicited written comments from 

members or other interested parties. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

Because the foregoing proposed rule 

change does not: (i) Significantly affect 

the protection of investors or the public 

interest; (ii) impose any significant 

burden on competition; and (iii) become 

operative for 30 days after the date of 

the filing, or such shorter time as the 

Commission may designate, it has 

become effective pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 5 and Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6) thereunder.6

The Exchange believes the proposed 

rule change is non-controversial in that 

it is similar to the rules of the CBOE and 

BATS. Further, the Exchange believes 

the proposed rule change may assist 

investors by exposing the minimum 

quantity orders, thus allowing a greater 

opportunity for market participants to 

interact with such orders. The Exchange 

also believes that the proposed rule 

change does not raise any new, unique 

or substantive issues, and is beneficial 

for competitive purposes and to 

promote a free and open market for the 

benefit of investors. 

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 

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 following methods:
