          - [Release No. 34-62215; File No. SR-CHX-2010-11]

                    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 change its transaction fees and rebates to Exchange Participants for SRO Fees and DEA Examinations. 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 Chane

#### 1. Purpose

Through this filing, the Exchange would amend its Fee Schedule to modify the fees charged to CHX Participants which are designed to offset, in part, the expenses associated with the Exchange's performance of its regulatory oversight function.

                    The Exchange proposes to increase its SRO Fee under Section B of the Fee Schedule from $250 per month to $500 per month. The Exchange also proposes to reduce the DEA Examinations Fee under Section J.4. of the Fee Schedule from $1000 per month to $800 per month. Since the SRO Fee is charged to all Exchange Participants and the DEA Examinations Fee is only charged to a subset of Participants,[5]                                          the proposed changes should result in a net revenue increase.                

As part of a planned enhancement to its ongoing regulatory program, the Exchange plans on increasing its expenditures for surveillance and oversight in the near future. The proposed fee changes would provide additional revenue to fund such increases and also distribute those costs in a more even manner across all Participants, which the Exchange believes is fair and equitable.

#### 2. Statutory Basis

                    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act [6]                                          in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act [7]                                          in particular, in that it provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among its members. Among other things, the change to the fee schedule would increase revenue to the Exchange to fund enhancements to its regulatory program and allocate costs more evenly across the entire population of Participants.                

### 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 [8]                                          and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder [9]                                          because it establishes or changes a due, fee, or other charge applicable only to a member imposed by the self-regulatory organization.                           ( print page 32832)                        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.
