See Securities Exchange Act No. 44259 (May 4,

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) 12 of the Act and Rule 19b–

4(f)(6) 13 thereunder.14

A proposed rule change filed under 

Rule 19b–4(f)(6) normally does not 

become operative prior to 30 days after 

the date of filing. However, Rule 19b–

4(f)(6)(iii) permits the Commission to 

designate a shorter time if such action 

is consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest. The 

Phlx seeks to have the proposed rule 

change become operative immediately 

upon filing so that the Exchange may 

remain competitive with other 

exchanges with similar rules in effect. 

The Commission, consistent with the 

protection of investors and the public 

interest, has determined to waive the 

30-day operative date and make the 

proposed rule change operative 

immediately upon filing, in order to 

allow the Phlx to compete for brokerdealer orders by removing any 

distinction between broker-dealer and 

customer orders with respect to the size 

for which the Exchange is firm at its 

disseminated price and the Exchange’s 

guaranteed AUTO–X size.15 At any time 

within 60 days of the filing of the 

proposed rule change, the Commission 

may summarily abrogate 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, as amended, 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 

rule change that are filed with the 

Commission, and all written 

communications relating to the 

proposed rule 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 filing will also be 

available for inspection and copying at 

the principal office of the Phlx. All 

submissions should refer to File No.

submitted by May 5, 2003.

the Proposed Rule Change 

The Exchange proposes to amend its

of $0.0005 per share per trade side, with 

no maximum fee per trade side charged

technical changes to its equity fee 

schedule to make corresponding 

references to the proposed fees. All 

other equity charges currently assessed 

by the Phlx will be imposed where 

applicable.6

The Exchange proposes to implement 

this fee as of April 1, 2003, the date that

10With regard to the distinction between 

Customer PACE and Non-PACE license fees, the 

Exchange states that it is consistent with its current 

practice to not impose customer charges for equity 

transactions delivered through PACE, but to impose 

customer charges for Non-PACE executions. See, 

e.g., Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 47385 

(February 20, 2003), 68 FR 10295 (March 4, 2003) 

(SR–Phlx–2003–06); 44381 (June 1, 2001), 66 FR 

31264 (June 11, 2001) (SR–Phlx–2001–57); and 

43776 (December 28, 2000), 66 FR 1166 (January 5, 

2001) (SR–Phlx–2000–103). Also, consistent with 

its current practice, the Exchange charges customer 

transaction fees and specialist transaction fees at 

different rates. See, e.g., Securities Exchange Act 

Release Nos. 44381 (June 1, 2001), 66 FR 31264 

(June 11, 2001) (SR–Phlx–2001–57); 47109 

(December 30, 2002), 68 FR 841 (January 7, 2003) 

(SR–Phlx–2002–78); and 42332 (January 12, 2000), 

65 FR 3517 (January 21, 2000) (SR–Phlx–2000–59).

Any fees, credits, discounts and other charges in the Exchange’s fee schedule which are based upon an equity specialist’s specialist activity apply to competing specialists. ** ‘‘Standard & Poor’s,’’ ‘‘S&’’,‘‘S&P 500’’, ‘‘Standard & Poor’s 500’’, and ‘‘500’’ are trademarks of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.,

way of an outbound commitment, when such outbound ITS commitment reflects the PACE order’s clearing information, but does not apply 

where a PACE trade was executed against an inbound ITS commitment. 2This charge does not apply to transactions in Nasdaq-100 Index Tracking StockSM [and] SPDRs and DIAMONDS. 3Applies to each member who derives at least 80% of gross income generated from Phlx floor based activities from his/her floor brokerage business conducted on the Exchange. Floor brokerage business conducted on the Exchange includes orders that are received on the 

Phlx, even if those orders are executed on an exchange other than the Phlx. The 5% floor brokerage assessment is waived until Dec. 31, 

2003 and is scheduled to be reinstated Jan. 1, 2004. 4This fee will only apply when the specialist sends an order received over PACE to ITS and receives an execution, if the specialist used 

the PACE customer’s clearing information on the outbound ITS commitment. 5This credit will include all inbound and outbound ITS executions, including both PACE and non-PACE and both proprietary and customer commitments.

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 

Exchange included statements 

concerning the purpose of and basis for 

the proposed rule change and discussed 

any comments it received on the 

proposed rule change. The text of these 

statements may be examined at the 

places specified in Item III below. The 

Exchange 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 

The purpose of the proposed rule 

change is to adopt a license fee that will 

apply to trading DIAMONDS on the 

Exchange. The Exchange recently 

determined to begin trading 

DIAMONDS. The license fees should 

help off-set licensing fees incurred by 

the Exchange associated with the 

trading of these products on the 

Exchange. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed rule change is consistent with 

Section 6(b) of the Act,8 in general, and 

furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) 

of the Act,9 in particular, in that it is an 

equitable allocation of reasonable dues, 

fees, and other charges among Exchange 

members. The Exchange believes that 

charging members that trade these 

products a licensing fee is an equitable 

means of recovering a portion of the 

licensing fees incurred by the 

Exchange.10

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

The Exchange does not believe that 

the proposed rule change will 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 either 

solicited or received. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

The foregoing rule change establishes 

or changes a due, fee, or charge imposed 

by the Exchange and, therefore, has 

become effective upon filing pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act 11 and 

Rule 19b–4(f)(2) thereunder.12 At any 

time within 60 days of the filing of the 

proposed rule change, the Commission 

may summarily abrogate 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 purpose 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. 

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 rule 

change that are filed with the 

Commission, and all written 

communications relating to the 

proposed rule 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 at 

the Commission’s Public Reference 

Room. Copies of such filing will also be 

available for inspection and copying at 

the principal office of the Exchange. All 

submissions should refer to File No. 

SR–Phlx–2003–20 and should be 

submitted by May 5, 2003.

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated 

authority.13
