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 QCC 

trades. 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. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.
