6 Under 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). 9 The 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 thepublic 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.

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
