11 See supra note 7.

12 See supra note 4. 13 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).

14 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(2). 15 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). entered into front-end order entry systems of competing exchanges or sent to floor brokers on exchanges that offer higher rebates. 10 The proposed rebate is comparable to or less than rebates offered on both the ISE and NASDAQ OMX PHLX in that it is being offered to Floor Brokers as an inducement that may allow them to competitively price their services offered to all participants. 11 To the extent that the rebate is successful in attracting additional order flow to the Exchange, all participants should benefit. As such the Exchange believes that the rebate is appropriate and reasonable.

The Exchange believes the proposal to increase the rebate from $.03 per contract to a $.07 per contract is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because it would uniformly apply to all QCC orders entered by a Floor Broker for validation by the system and potential execution, excepting Customer-to-Customer QCCtrades. The exclusion of Customer-toCustomer QCC trades from the Floor Broker rebate will remain. 12 Any participant will be able to engage a rebate-receiving Floor Broker in a discussion surrounding the appropriate level of fees that they may be charged for entrusting the entry of the QCC order to the Floor Broker into the Exchange systems for validation and execution. The additional order flow attracted by this increase in the rebate should benefit all participants. For this reason the Exchange feels the adoption of the proposed rebate increase is both equitable and not unfairly discriminatory.

For the reasons noted above, the Exchange believes that the proposed fees are fair, equitable and not unfairly discriminatory. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition

The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will 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

No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the proposed rule change. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action

The foregoing rule change is effective upon filing pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 13 of the Act and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b–4 14 thereunder, because it establishes a due, fee, or other charge imposed by the NYSE Amex.

At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend 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.
