V. Commission’s Findings and Order

Granting Partial Accelerated Approval

of Proposed Rule Change

The Commission finds that the

portion of the proposed rule change, as

amended, relating to the reporting of

options transactions within 90 seconds

after execution is consistent with the

requirements of the Act and the rules

and regulations thereunder applicable to

a national securities exchange.10

Specifically, the Commission believes

that the portion of the proposal, as

amended, relating to the reporting of

options transactions within 90 seconds

after execution is consistent with the

Section 6(b)(5) 11 requirements that the

rules of an exchange be designed to

promote just and equitable principles of

trade, to remove impediments to and

perfect the mechanisms of a free and

open market and a national market

system, and, in general, to protect

investors and the public.

The Commission believes that the

portion of the amended proposal, which

requires the reporting of all options

transactions within 90 seconds of

execution, should help to prevent

fraudulent and manipulative acts and

practices, as well as to promote just and

equitable principles of trade. The

Commission believes that the portion of

the proposed rule change, as amended,

relating to CBOE Rule 6.51 should

enable the Exchange to provide accurate

trade information to investors more

efficiently. The enhanced transparency

associated with timely trade reporting

should facilitate price discovery for

investors and assist the CBOE’s

surveillance of its members’ trading in

listed options.

The CBOE has requested that the

Commission find good cause for

approving the portion of the proposed

rule change, as amended, relating to

CBOE Rule 6.51 prior to the thirtieth

day after the date of publication of

notice in the Federal Register. The

Commission believes that the portion of

the proposal relating to the reporting of

options transactions within 90 seconds

after execution is substantially similar

to the Amex proposal to amend Amex

rules to require the reporting of options

transactions within 90 seconds of

execution that was recently approved by

the Commission.12 The Amex proposal

was noticed for the full 21-day comment

period and no comments were received.

Accordingly, the Commission finds

good cause pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)

of the Act 13 to accelerate approval of

the proposed rule change, as amended.

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,14 that the

portion of the proposed rule change

amending CBOE Rule 6.51, to require

the reporting of the options transactions

within 90 seconds (File No. SR–CBOE–

00–37), is approved on an accelerated

basis.

For the Commission, by the Division of

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated

authority.15

Deputy Secretary.
