COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–55913; File No. SR–Amex–

Self-Regulatory Organizations; 

American Stock Exchange LLC; Order 

Approving Proposed Rule Change as 

Modified by Amendment No. 1 Relating 

to the Codification of Exchange Policy 

Regarding Specialist Commissions 

June 15, 2007. 

I. Introduction 

On January 29, 2007, the American 

Stock Exchange LLC (‘‘Amex’’ or 

‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Section 

19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act 

of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 

thereunder,2 a proposed rule change to 

amend Amex Rule 154—AEMI and 

Amex Rule 154—AEMI-One to expand 

the scope of its rules that specify when 

specialists may charge commissions. 

The proposed rule change was 

published for comment in the Federal 

Register on April 2, 2007.3 The 

Commission received three comment 

letters regarding the proposal.4 On May 

29, 2007, Amex filed Amendment No. 1 

to the proposed rule change.5 This order 

approves the proposed rule change, as 

modified by Amendment No. 1. 

II. Description 

The Exchange proposes to adopt 

Amex Rule 154–AEMI(k) to prohibit 

specialists from charging a commission 

for orders or portions of orders that have 

not been executed. The proposed rule 

would extend the prohibitions on 

specialist commissions contained in 

Amex Rule 154(b) to Exchange-Traded 

Funds (‘‘ETFs’’) and equities trading on 

the AEMI System. These restrictions 

prohibit specialists from (i) charging a 

commission on off floor orders that are 

electronically delivered to the specialist 

except in cases of orders that require 

special handling by the specialist or for 

which the specialist provides a service, 

and (ii) billing customers for 

electronically delivered orders that are 

executed automatically by the 

Exchange’s order processing facilities 

upon receipt. In addition, proposed 

Rule 154–AEMI(k) would reference Rule 

152–AEMI(c), which prohibits 

specialists from charging a commission 

where they act as principal in the 

execution of an order entrusted to them 

as agent. Lastly, the proposed rule sets 

forth the types of orders specialists 

would be allowed to bill a commission. 

These orders would include: (i) Limit 

orders that remain on the book for more 

than two minutes; (ii) tick sensitive 

orders (e.g., an order to sell short in a 

security subject to the Commission’s 

‘‘tick-test’’); (iii) stop or stop limit 

orders; (iv) fill-or-kill and immediate-orVerDate Aug<31>2005 18:22 Jun 20, 2007 Jkt 211001 PO 00000 Frm 00099 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\21JNN1.SGM 21JNN1
