Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request 

Upon written request, copies available

Commission, Office of Investor 

Education and Advocacy, 

Washington, DC 20549–0213. 

Extension: Form F–9, OMB Control No. 

3235–0377, SEC File No. 270–333. 

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments 

on the collection of information 

summarized below. The Commission 

plans to submit this existing collection 

of information to the Office of 

Management Budget for extension and 

approval. 

Form F–9 (17 CFR 239.39) is a 

registration statement under the 

Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et 

seq.) that is used to register investment 

grade debt or investment grade preferred 

securities that are offered for cash or in 

connection with an exchange, offer and 

are either non-convertible or not 

convertible for a period of at least one 

year from the date of issuance and 

thereafter are only convertible into a 

security of another class of the issuer. 

The purpose of the information 

collection is to permit verification of 

compliance with securities law 

requirements and to assure the public 

availability and dissemination of such 

information. The principal function of 

the Commission’s forms and rules under 

the securities laws’ disclosure 

provisions is to make information 

available to the investors. We estimate 

that Form F–9 takes approximately 25 

hours per response and it is filed by 18 

respondents. We further estimate that 

25% of the 25 hours per response (6.25 

hours) is prepared by the issuer for an 

annual reporting burden of 113 hours 

(6.25 hours per response × 18 

responses). 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether this proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden imposed by the collection 

of information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; and (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on respondents, including 

through the use of automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. Consideration will be given 

to comments and suggestions submitted 

in writing within 60 days of this 

publication.

Form F–10 (17 CFR 239.40) is a 

registration statement under the 

Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et

‘‘substantial issuers’’ (those issuers with 

at least 36 calendar months of reporting 

history with a securities commission in 

Canada and a market value of common 

stock of at least C$360 million and an 

aggregate market value of common stock 

held by non-affiliates of at least C$75 

million). The purpose of the information 

collection is to facilitate cross-border 

offerings by specified Canadian issuers. 

We estimate that Form F–10 takes 25 

hours per response and is filed by 75 

respondents. We further estimate that 

25% of the 25 hours per response (6.25 

hours) is prepared by the issuer for an 

annual reporting burden of 469 hours 

(6.25 hours per response × 78

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Boston 

Stock Exchange, Inc.; Order Granting 

Approval of Proposed Rule Change 

Relating to BOX Rules Governing 

Doing Business With the Public 

February 23, 2009. 

On December 9, 2008, the Boston 

Stock Exchange, Inc. (‘‘BSE’’ or 

‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) a proposed rule change 

pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder.2

The proposed rule change was 

published for comment in the Federal 

Register on January 13, 2009.3 The 

Commission received no comments on 

the proposed rule change. This order 

approves the proposed rule change. 

I. Description of the Proposed Rule 

Change 

The Exchange proposed to amend 

Chapter XI of the Boston Options 

Exchange (‘‘BOX’’) Rules by replacing 

the term ‘‘Registered Options and 

Security Futures Principal’’ (‘‘ROSFP’’) 

with ‘‘Registered Options Principal’’ 

(‘‘ROP’’). Although ROP was recently 

changed to ROSFP in the BOX Rules, 

the Exchange believes that the change 

from ROP to ROSFP may have created 

confusion among BOX participants, and 

that reverting to ROP will alleviate this 

confusion. Furthermore, the Exchange 

believes that reverting to ROP will 

provide consistency with the rules of 

other options exchanges, most of which 

use ROP rather than ROSFP.4 The 

Exchange notes that the reversion to 

ROP does not affect the qualifications 

required to transact options business 

with the public. 

The Exchange also proposed 

amending Chapter XI, Section 13 of the 

BOX Rules to clarify that an options 

confirmation need not disclose the 

exchange or exchanges on which an 

options transaction is executed. The 

rule will continue to require that written 

confirmations contain a description of 

each transaction in the options contract, 

the underlying security, the type of 

option, the option expiration month, 

exercise price, number of option 

contracts, premium, commissions, date 

of transaction and settlement date, and 

shall indicate whether the transaction is 

a purchase or sale and whether a 

principal or agency transaction. The 

confirmation shall also distinguish by 

appropriate symbols between Exchange 

transactions and other transactions in 

options contracts. This change will 

maintain consistency with other 

exchanges which have recently filed 

similar rule proposals.5

Lastly, the Exchange proposed 

elimination of the definition of ‘‘closing 

purchase transaction’’ as defined in 

Chapter I, Section 1 of the BOX Rules. 

The term ‘‘closing purchase transaction’’ 

does not appear in any other provision 

of the BOX Rules. Therefore, the 

definition is unnecessary. 

II. Discussion and Findings 

After careful review of the proposed 

rule change, the Commission finds that 

the proposed rule change is consistent 

with the requirements of Section 6(b) of 

the Act,6 in general, and Section 6(b)(5) 

of the Act,7 in particular, in that it is 

designed to promote just and equitable 

principles of trade, facilitate 

transactions in securities, remove
