requirements, such as in CBOE Rules 

9.8 and 9.9.30 The Commission believes 

that these safeguards are reasonably 

designed to help mitigate potential risks 

for retail and other investors of 

investing in FLEX Options. 

CBOE also believes that permanently 

removing the minimum value size 

requirements for FLEX Options will give 

investors a more viable, exchangetraded alternative to customized options 

in the OTC market, which are not 

subject to minimum value size 

requirements.31 Furthermore, CBOE has 

represented that broker-dealers have 

indicated to CBOE that the minimum 

value size requirements have prevented 

them from bringing transactions on the 

Exchange that are already taking place 

in the OTC market.32 Therefore, it 

appears possible that permanent 

approval of the Pilot Program could 

further incent trading interest in 

customized options to move from the 

OTC market to CBOE. To the extent 

investors choose to trade FLEX Options 

on CBOE in lieu of the OTC market as 

a result of the permanent removal of the 

minimum value size requirements, such 

action should benefit investors. As the 

Commission has previously noted, there 

are certain benefits to trading on an 

exchange, such as enhanced efficiency 

in initiating and closing out positions, 

increased market transparency, and 

heightened contra-party 

creditworthiness due to the role of the 

Options Clearing Corporation as issuer 

and guarantor of FLEX Options.33

IV. Conclusion 

In summary, the Commission 

believes, for the reasons noted above, 

that the proposed rule change to 

permanently approve the Pilot Program 

is consistent with the Act and Section 

6(b)(5) thereunder in particular, and 

should be approved. The Commission 

expects CBOE to continue to monitor 

the usage of FLEX Options and review 

whether changes need to be made to its 

rules or the ODD to address any changes 

in retail FLEX Option participation or 

any other issues that may occur as a 

result of the elimination of the 

minimum value sizes on a permanent 

basis. 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,34 that the 

proposed rule change (SR–CBOE–2012– 

040) be, and it hereby is, approved. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.35

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE 

2012 Special 301 Out-of-Cycle Review 

of Notorious Markets: Request for 

Public Comments 

AGENCY: Office of the United States 

Trade Representative. 

ACTION: Request for written submissions 

from the public. 

SUMMARY: In 2010, the Office of the 

United States Trade Representative 

(USTR) began publishing the notorious 

market list as an ‘‘Out of Cycle Review’’ 

separately from the annual Special 301 

report. This review of Notorious 

Markets (‘‘Notorious Markets List’’) 

results in the publication of examples of 

Internet and physical markets that have 

been the subject of enforcement action 

or that may merit further investigation 

for possible intellectual property 

infringements. The Notorious Markets 

List does not represent a finding of 

violation of law, but rather is a summary 

of information that serves to highlight 

the problem of marketplaces that deal in 

infringing goods and which help sustain 

global piracy and counterfeiting. USTR 

is hereby requesting written 

submissions from the public identifying 

potential Internet and physical 

notorious markets that exist outside the 

United States and that may be included 

in the 2012 Notorious Markets List. 

DATES: The deadline for interested 

parties to submit written comments is 

September 14, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: All written comments 

should be sent electronically via 

http://www.regulations.gov, docket 

number USTR–2012–0011. Submissions 

should contain the term ‘‘2012 Out-ofCycle Review of Notorious Markets’’ in 

the ‘‘Type comment’’ field on http:// 

www.regulations.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Paula Karol Pinha, Director for 

Intellectual Property and Innovation, 

Office of the United States Trade 

Representative, at (202) 395– 5419. 

Further information about Special 301 

can be found at http://www.ustr.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Background 

Pursuant to the Administration’s 2010 

Joint Strategic Plan on Intellectual 

Property Enforcement, USTR began 

conducting an Out-of-Cycle Review of 

Notorious Markets, resulting in 

publication, separately from the annual 

Special 301 report, of a ‘‘Notorious 

Markets List.’’ (The Notorious Markets 

List had previously been included in 

annual Special 301 reports.) USTR 

published the first stand alone 

Notorious Markets List in February 

2011, and published the second List in 

December 2011. The December 2011 

Notorious Markets List identified 34 

markets, including both physical and 

Internet markets, as examples of 

marketplaces that have been the subject 

of enforcement action or that may merit 

further investigation for possible 

intellectual property rights 

infringements, or both. 

The Notorious Markets List does not 

reflect findings of violation of law, nor 

does it reflect the United States’ analysis 

of the general climate of protection and 

enforcement of intellectual property 

rights in the countries where the 

markets were located. Rather, the list 

identifies certain prominent examples of 

markets in which pirated or counterfeit 

goods were reportedly available. As part
