I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement of the Terms of Substance of

the Proposed Rule Change

The Phlx proposes to amend its ByLaw, Article X, Section 10–7—Options

Allocation, Evaluation and Securities

Committee and Equity Allocation,

Evaluation and Securities Committee.

The proposed amendment would clarify

that references to the ‘‘Allocation,

Evaluation and Securities Committee’’

in the Exchange By-Laws and Rules may

mean either the Options Allocation,

Evaluation and Securities Committee or

the Equity Allocation, Evaluation and

Securities Committee, as the context

requires. The text of the proposed bylaw change is set forth below. New

language is in italics.

Article X, Section 10–7(e)

For purposes of these By-Laws, and

Exchange Rules, references to the

‘‘Allocation, Evaluation and Securities

Committee’’ shall mean either the

Options Allocation, Evaluation and

Securities Committee or the Equity

Allocation, Evaluation and Securities

Committee, as the context requires.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement of the Purpose of, and

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule

Change

In its filing with the Commission, the

Phlx included statements concerning

the purpose of and basis for the

proposed by-law change and discussed

any comments it received on the

proposed by-law change. The text of

these statements may be examined at

the places specified in Item IV below.

The Phlx has prepared summaries, set

forth in Sections A, B, and C below, of

the most significant aspects of such

statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement of the Purpose of, and

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule

Change

1. Purpose

On July 5, 2000, the Commission

approved changes to Phlx By-Law

Article X, Section 10–7, which divided

the Allocation, Evaluation and

Securities Committee into two separate

committees: The Options Allocation,

Evaluation and Securities Committee

and the Equity Allocation, Evaluation

and Securities Committee.3 Currently,

various sections of the Exchange’s bylaws and rules simply refer to the

‘‘Allocation, Evaluation and Securities

Committee.’’ The proposed amendment

to Article X, Section 10–7(e) of the

Phlx’s by-laws would provide that any

reference to the ‘‘Allocation, Evaluation

and Securities Committee’’ would mean

either the Options Allocation,

Evaluation and Securities Committee or

the Equity Allocation, Evaluation and

Securities Committee, as the context

requires.

The purpose of the proposed by-law

amendment is to clarify that references

to the ‘‘Allocation, Evaluation and

Securities Committee’’ in the

Exchange’s by-laws and rules may mean

either the Options Allocation,

Evaluation and Securities Committee or

the Equity Allocation, Evaluation and

Securities Committee, as the context

requires, and to ensure that the by-laws

and rules pertaining to each committee

remain consistent.

2. Statutory Basis

The Phlx believes the proposed rule

change is consistent with Section 6 of

the Act 4 in general and with Section

6(b)(5) 5 in particular, in that it is

designed to promote just and equitable

principles of trade and to protect

investors and the public interest by

enabling the Exchange to provide a

responsive administrative process with

respect to the operation of the Options

Allocation, Evaluation and Securities

Committee and the Equity Allocation,

Evaluation and Securities Committee,

consistent with the Exchange’s by-laws

and rules.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement on Burden on Competition

The Phlx does not believe that the

proposed by-law change would impose

any inappropriate burden on

competition.

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.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for

Commission Action

Within 35 days of the date of

publication of this notice in the Federal

Register or with such longer period (i)

as the Commission may designate up to

90 days of such date if it finds such

longer period to be appropriate and

publishes its reasons for so finding, or

(ii) as to which the Exchange consents,

the Commission will:

(A) By order approve such proposed

rule change; or

(B) Institute proceedings to determine

whether the proposed rule change

should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

Interested persons are invited to

submit written data, views, and

arguments concerning the foregoing,

including whether the proposed by-law

change is consistent with the Act.

Persons making written submissions

should file six copies thereof with the

Secretary, Securities and Exchange

Commission, 450 Fifth Street NW.,

Washington, DC 20549–0609. Copies of

the submission, all subsequent

amendments, all written statements

with respect to the proposed by-law

change that are filed with the

Commission, and all written

communications relating to the

proposed by-law change between the

Commission and any person, other than

those that may be withheld from the

public in accordance with the

provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552, will be

available for inspection and copying in

the Commission’s Public Reference

Room. Copies of such filings will also be

available for inspection and copying at
