SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–62214; File No. SR–CHX– 

2010–12] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The 

Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc.; Notice 

of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness 

of Proposed Rule Change To Reduce 

the Amount of Its Trading Permit 

Cancellation Fee 

June 3, 2010. 

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

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

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

notice is hereby given that on June 1, 

2010, the Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc. 

(‘‘CHX’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(the ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule 

change as described in Items I, II and III 

below, which Items have been prepared 

by the Exchange. The CHX has filed the 

proposal pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 

of the Act 3 and Rule 19b–4(f)(2) 

thereunder,4 which renders the proposal 

effective upon filing with the 

Commission. The Commission is 

publishing this notice to solicit 

comments on the proposed rule change 

from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of the Substance 

of the Proposed Rule Change 

The CHX proposes to amend its 

Schedule of Participant Fees and 

Assessments (the ‘‘Fee Schedule’’), 

effective June 1, 2010, to reduce the 

amount of its Trading Permit 

cancellation fee. The text of this 

proposed rule change is available on the 

Exchange’s Web site at http:// 

www.chx.com/rules/proposed_rules.htm 

and in the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room, 100 F Street, NE., 

Washington, DC 20549. 

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 

CHX included statements concerning 

the purpose of and basis for the 

proposed rule changes and discussed 

any comments it received regarding the 

proposal. The text of these statements 

may be examined at the places specified 

in Item IV below. The CHX 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 

Through this filing, the Exchange 

would amend its Fee Schedule to 

reduce the amount of its Trading Permit 

cancellation fee. 

Each Exchange participant must 

maintain a valid CHX Trading Permit. In 

essence, the Trading Permit is the 

license permitting a Participant to 

transmit orders to the Exchange and 

otherwise avail itself of the benefits of 

Exchange membership. Trading Permits 

are issued for a term of one year. When 

a Participant wishes to terminate its 

status as such, the Exchange currently 

imposes a termination fee of $2,400 or, 

if less, $600 per month for the 

remainder of the one-year term. By this 

proposal, the Exchange seeks to reduce 

the maximum charge for terminating a 

permit from $2,400 to $1,200 since the 

expenses of processing termination 

applications do not appear to justify the 

larger figure. Moreover, the Exchange 

notes that the number of trading permits 

which can be issued is limited only by 

the number of eligible United States 

broker-dealers and that, therefore, it is at 

least possible to replace any lost permitrelated revenue by the subsequent 

addition of another Participant firm. 

The Exchange also believes that some 

smaller firms might be more likely to 

apply for a Trading Permit if they did 

not have a larger termination fee to 

consider if they subsequently reversed 

their decision. We are also proposing to 

remove unnecessary language in the Fee 

Schedule relating to Trading Permit 

charges applicable to the time period 

prior to October 2006. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed rule change is consistent with 

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

8 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(2). 9 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

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

of the Act 6 in particular, in that it 

provides for the equitable allocation of 

reasonable dues, fees and other charges 

among its members. The Exchange 

believes that some smaller firms might 

be more likely to apply for a Trading 

Permit if they did not have a larger 

termination fee to consider if they 

subsequently reversed their decision. 

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 that is not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments Regarding 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 has become 

effective pursuant to Section 

19(B)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act 7 and 

subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b–4 

thereunder 8 because it establishes or 

changes a due, fee, or other charge 

applicable only to a member imposed by 

the self-regulatory organization. 

Accordingly, the proposal is effective 

upon Commission receipt of the filing. 

At any time within 60 days of the filing 

of such 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. General 

The Computer Matching and Privacy 

Protection Act of 1988 (Public Law 

(Pub. L.) 100–503), amended the Privacy 

Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) by describing the 

conditions under which computer 

matching involving the Federal 

government could be performed and 

adding certain protections for persons 

applying for, and receiving, Federal 

benefits. Section 7201 of the Omnibus 

Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (Pub. 

L. 101–508) further amended the 

Privacy Act regarding protections for 

such persons. 

The Privacy Act, as amended, 

regulates the use of computer matching 

by Federal agencies when records in a 

system of records are matched with 

other Federal, State, or local government 

records. It requires Federal agencies 

involved in computer matching 

programs to: 

(1) Negotiate written agreements with 

the other agency or agencies 

participating in the matching programs; 

(2) Obtain the approval of the 

matching agreement by the Data 

Integrity Boards (DIB) of the 

participating Federal agencies; 

(3) Publish notice of the computer 

matching program in the Federal 

Register;
