(Sep. 26, 2000), 65 FR 59243 (Oct. 4, 2000) (SR–

Phlx–00–80), regarding a waiver of all comparison

and transaction charges for customers trading

equity options.

10 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(2).

11 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12).

Rule 229. The Phlx believes that the

specialist’s role is particularly important

on the opening, where the specialist

must determine the opening price while

being mindful of single price openings

in unlisted trading privileges securities,

monitor Intermarket Trading System

indications and commitments, and

assess and address order imbalances.

The Phlx believes that these

responsibilities impose unique risks and

costs on specialists. For instance, the

automatic execution feature of PACE is

not engaged until after the opening,5

which allows the specialist to better

control the aforementioned duties, but

also imposes unique manual burdens,

such as matching against orders on the

opening.

Thus, the proposal would eliminate

the Phlx transaction fees imposed on

orders on the opening that are received

through PACE and executed manually.

The proposed amendment would enable

the specialist to continue to provide

prompt execution and participate in

opening orders, without the additional

burden of a transaction fee. The

Exchange believes that this fee

reduction should encourage specialists’

efforts in attracting more order flow,

which in turn should promote a more

liquid market.

2. Statutory Basis

The Exchange believes that the

proposed rule change is consistent with

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

with Section 6(b)(4),7 in particular, in

that they provide for the equitable

allocation of reasonable dues, fees and

other charges, by alleviating a financial

burden on specialists. The Exchange

notes that other equity fees apply only

to certain market participants, and the

Exchange has previously waived fees

with respect to certain market

participants.8

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement on Burden on Competition

The Phlx does not believe that the

proposed rule change, as amended, 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 Exchange has designated the

proposed rule change as a fee change

pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the

Act9 and Rule 19b–4(f)(2) thereunder.10

Accordingly, the proposal will take

effect upon the filing of the proposed

rule change with the Commission on

April 18, 2001. 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, D.C. 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.

SR–Phlx–2001–41 and should be

submitted by May 31, 2001.

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated

authority.11
