24772 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 86 / Wednesday, May 5, 2010 / Notices 

6Under Rule 8.5(a)(1), C2 Market-Makers must 

maintain a continuous (99% of the time) two-sided 

market in 60% of the series of each registered class 

that have time to expiration of less than nine 

months. 

7 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). 

8 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 

9The text of the proposed rule change is available 

on the Commission’s Web site at http:// 

www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml. 

10 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

NBBO on the Exchange, and 50% when 

there is only one other Market-Maker 

quoting at the NBBO on the Exchange. 

In addition: (i) A PMM may not be 

allocated a total quantity greater than 

the quantity that the PMM is quoting at 

the best bid/offer on the Exchange; (ii) 

the participation entitlement rate is 

based on the number of contracts 

remaining after all public customer 

orders in the book at the best bid/offer 

on the Exchange have been satisfied; 

and (iii) if a Preferred Market-Maker 

receives a PMM participation 

entitlement, then no other participation 

entitlements shall apply to such order. 

PMMs will be subject to heightened 

quoting requirements. More specifically, 

PMMs must comply with the quoting 

obligations applicable under Exchange 

rules and must provide continuous 

electronic quotes in at least 90% of the 

series of each class for which it receives 

Preferred Market-Maker orders.6

Proposed Rule 8.13 also allows the 

Exchange to implement a PMM program 

for complex orders. The program is 

substantially similar to the program for 

straight orders and is identical to the 

program in place for CBOE. 

Corresponding changes to Rule 6.12 

are also proposed to ensure that the 

order execution and priority rule 

contemplates a participation entitlement 

for PMMs. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes the proposed 

rule change is consistent with Section 

6(b) of the Exchange Act in general and 

furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) 

in particular in that, by making the 

linkage process more efficient and 

ensuring certain safeguards are in place 

when routing firms are used, it should 

promote just and equitable principles of 

trade, serve to remove impediments to 

and perfect the mechanism of a free and 

open market and a national market 

system, and protect investors and the 

public interest. Moreover, the Exchange 

believes that adopting these rules will 

facilitate the trading of options in a 

national market system by establishing 

more transparent routing guidelines, 

and will facilitate the ability of 

preferred Market-Makers to provide 

deeper liquidity. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

C2 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 

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 rule 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 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, provided that the selfregulatory organization has given the 

Commission written notice of its intent 

to file 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 proposed rule change 

has become effective pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 7 and Rule 

19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.8 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. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.

Background 

The Kingpin Act became law on 

December 3, 1999. The Kingpin Act 

establishes a program targeting the 

activities of significant foreign narcotics 

traffickers and their organizations on a 

worldwide basis. It provides a statutory 

framework for the President to impose 

sanctions against significant foreign 

narcotics traffickers and their 

organizations on a worldwide basis, 

with the objective of denying their 

businesses and agents access to the U.S. 

financial system and the benefits of 

trade and transactions involving U.S. 

companies and individuals. 

The Kingpin Act blocks all property 

and interests in property, subject to U.S. 

jurisdiction, owned or controlled by 

significant foreign narcotics traffickers 

as identified by the President. In 

addition, the Secretary of the Treasury 

consults with the Attorney General, the 

Director of the Central Intelligence 

Agency, the Director of the Federal 

Bureau of Investigation, the 

Administrator of the Drug Enforcement 

Administration, the Secretary of 

Defense, the Secretary of State, and the 

Secretary of Homeland Security when 

designating and blocking the property 

and interests in property, subject to U.S. 

jurisdiction, of persons who are found 

to be: (1) Materially assisting in, or 

providing financial or technological 

support for or to, or providing goods or 

services in support of, the international 

narcotics trafficking activities of a 

person designated pursuant to the 

Kingpin Act; (2) owned, controlled, or 

directed by, or acting for or on behalf of, 

a person designated pursuant to the
