6 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). 

7 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6) requires a self-regulatory organization to give 

the Commission written notice of its intent to file 

the proposed rule change at least five business days 

prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule 

change, or such shorter time as designated by the 

Commission. Phlx has satisfied this requirement.

9 Id. 

10For the purposes only of waiving the 30-day 

operative delay, the Commission has considered the 

proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, 

and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 11 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

establish adequate procedures and 

controls that permit it to effectively 

monitor its employees’, agents’ and 

Participants’ use and access to the 

Exchange for compliance with the terms 

of this agreement; 

(ix) The Sponsored Participant shall 

pay when due all amounts, if any, 

payable to Sponsoring Member 

Organization, the Exchange, or any 

other third parties that arise from the 

Sponsored Participant’s access to and 

use of the Exchange. Such amounts 

include, but are not limited to 

applicable exchange and regulatory fees. 

Third, the Sponsoring Member 

Organization must provide the 

Exchange with a Sponsored Participant 

Addendum to its Access Agreement 

acknowledging its responsibility for the 

orders, executions and actions of its 

Sponsored Participant at issue. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes that its 

proposal is consistent with Section 6(b) 

of the Act 4 in general, and furthers the 

objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act 5

in particular, in that it is designed to 

promote just and equitable principles of 

trade, to remove impediments to and 

perfect the mechanism of a free and 

open market and a national market 

system, and, in general to protect 

investors and the public interest by 

helping market participants seeking 

access to a marketplace. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

The Exchange does not believe that 

the proposed rule change will impose 

any burden on competition not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act. 

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 

Because the foregoing proposed rule 

change does not: (i) Significantly affect 

the protection of investors or the public 

interest; (ii) impose any significant 

burden on competition; and (iii) become 

operative for 30 days after the date of 

the filing, or such shorter time as the 

Commission may designate, it has 

become effective pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 6 and Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6) 7 thereunder. 

A proposed rule change filed under 

19b–4(f)(6) normally may not become 

operative prior to 30 days after the date 

of filing.8 However, Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6)(iii) 9 permits the Commission to 

designate a shorter time if such action 

is consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest. The 

Exchange has requested that the 

Commission waive the 30-day operative 

delay so that the proposal may become 

operative upon filing. The Exchange 

filed the proposed rule change on 

January 11, 2010. The Commission 

believes that waiving the 30-day 

operative delay is consistent with the 

protection of investors and the public 

interest because such waiver would 

allow the pilot program to continue 

uninterrupted. Accordingly, the 

Commission hereby grants the 

Exchange’s request and designates the 

proposal operative upon filing.10

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.

the following methods:
