4(f)(6)(iii) requires the Exchange to give the 

Commission written notice of the Exchange’s intent 

to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief 

description and text of 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 Commission 

has waived the five-day pre-filing requirement in 

this case.

(April 27, 2009), 74 FR 20518 (May 4, 2009) (SR– 

CBOE–2009–018). 

24For purposes only of waiving the 30-day 

operative delay, the Commission has considered the 

proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, 

and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 25 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

Report will be submitted by May 1, 

2011, under separate cover and will 

seek confidential treatment under the 

Freedom of Information Act. 

2. Statutory Basis 

Approval of the rule change proposed 

in this submission is consistent with 

Section 6(b) of the Act 17 in general, and 

furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) 

of the Act 18 in particular in that it is 

designed to prevent fraudulent and 

manipulative acts and practices, to 

promote just and equitable principles of 

trade, to foster cooperation and 

coordination with persons engaged in 

facilitating transactions in securities, 

and to remove impediments to and 

perfect the mechanisms of a free and 

open market and a national market 

system, by establishing a Short Term 

Option Program that will provide 

investors with a flexible and valuable 

tool to manage risk exposure, minimize 

capital outlays, and be more responsive 

to the timing of events affecting the 

securities that underlie option contracts. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

The Exchange does not believe that 

the proposed rule change imposes any 

burden on competition. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

The Exchange has neither solicited 

nor received comments on the proposed 

rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

The Exchange has filed the proposed 

rule change pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 19 and Rule 

19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.20 Because the 

proposed rule change does not: 

(i) Significantly affect the protection of 

investors or the public interest; 

(ii) impose any significant burden on 

competition; and (iii) become operative 

prior to 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 the public interest, the 

proposed rule change has become 

effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 

of the Act 21 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 

thereunder.22

The Exchange has requested that the 

Commission waive the 30-day operative 

delay. The Commission believes that 

waiver of the operative delay is 

consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest 

because the proposal is substantially 

similar to that of another exchange that 

was approved by the Commission.23

Therefore, the Commission designates 

the proposal operative upon filing.24

At any time within 60 days of the 

filing of the 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.

the following methods:
