Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 12 / Thursday, January 18, 2001 / Notices 4885

4Exchange Act Rule 11Ac1–1(d)(1)(i), 17 CFR

240.11Ac1–1(d)(1)(i).

5 In the event that certain Phlx specialist firms are

able to develop and implement proprietary systems

(called ‘‘Specialized Quote Feeds’’ or ‘‘SQFs’’) that

are able to disseminate actual size prior to the

Exchange’s systems disseminating quotations with

actual size on a floor-wide basis, the Phlx would

undertake to file a further proposed rule change

with the Commission requesting approval to

disseminate actual size for those options classes

assigned to such specialist firms.

Procedure Advice A–11.

periodically publish, on its web site and

through regulatory circulars to Exchange

members and member organizations, the

quotation size for which its members’

quotations are firm as required by Rule

11Ac1–1(d)(1)(i) under the Act.4

In addition, the Exchange proposes to

voluntarily disseminate to OPRA the

applicable automatic execution size

guarantee for each quoted option, except

that with respect to customer limit

orders the Phlx would disseminate a

size of 10 contracts, regardless of the

actual size of the customer order. In all

cases, the Phlx would be firm for its

disseminated quotation size (without

regard to whether the given order would

be eligible for automatic execution via

the Exchange’s automatic execution

feature, AUTO–X).5

Until the Phlx has completed its

application of the systems changes

necessary to automatically update its

quotation size on a continuous basis, the

Phlx believes that the instant proposal

represents a vast improvement over the

current system, by increasing

transparency and providing the market

place with considerably more

information upon which to base order

routing decisions.

Finally, the Phlx expects to begin

providing quotations with actual size on

a floor-wide basis within one year. The

Exchange will undertake to submit a

further proposed rule change when the

Exchange is able to disseminate actual

size associated with its options quotes

and customer limit orders.

The instant proposed rule change

does not affect in any respect the

Exchange’s obligations concerning nonpublic customer orders.6 Prior to the

April 1, 2001 mandatory compliance

date of the amended Quote Rule, the

Exchange will establish firm quote

requirements with respect to brokerdealers, as required by the amended

Quote Rule.

2. Statutory Basis

The Exchange believes that the

proposed rule change is consistent with

Section 6 of the Act 7 in general, and in

particular, with Section 6(b)(5),8 in that

it is designed to perfect the mechanism

of a free and open market and a national

market system, protect investors and the

public interest and promote just and

equitable principles of trade by

increasing transparency and providing

the market place with considerably

more information upon which to base

order routing decisions.

Finally, after consultation with

Commission staff, the Phlx believes that

the proposed rule change described in

this filing, including permitting SQF

users to disseminate actual size when

they are able to do so (as described in

Footnote No. 5) is consistent with the

amended Quote Rule.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement on Burden on Competition

The Phlx 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

Within 35 days of the date of

publication of this notice in the Federal

Register or within such longer period (i)

as the Commission may designate up to

90 days or such date if it finds such

longer period to be appropriate and

publishes its reasons for so finding or

(ii) as to which the Phlx 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 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 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–01–01 and should be submitted by

February 8, 2001.

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated

authority.9
