SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–59943; File No. SR–ISE– 

2009–28] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; 

International Securities Exchange, 

LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate 

Effectiveness of Proposed Rule 

Change Relating to the Extension of a 

Pilot Program for Directed Orders 

May 20, 2009. 

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

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Exchange Act’’ or ‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 

19b–4 thereunder, 2 notice is hereby 

given that on May 13, 2009, the 

International Securities Exchange, LLC 

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

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule 

change as described in Items I, II, and 

III below, which items have been 

prepared by the ISE. The proposed rule 

change has been filed by the ISE as 

effecting a change in an existing orderentry or trading system pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act,3 and Rule 

19b–4(f)(5) 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 Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

The ISE is proposing to extend the 

pilot period for the system change that 

identifies to a Directed Market Maker 

(‘‘DMM’’) the identity of the firm 

entering a Directed Order until 

November 30, 2009. 

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 

self-regulatory organization included 

statements concerning the purpose of, 

and basis for, the proposed rule change 

and discussed any comments it received 

on the proposed rule change. The text 

of these statements may be examined at 

the places specified in Item IV below. 

The self-regulatory organization 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 

On January 5, 2006, the ISE initiated 

a system change to identify to a DMM 

the identity of the firm entering a 

Directed Order. The ISE filed this 

system change on a pilot basis under 

Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Exchange Act 

of 1934 (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’) and Rule 

19–4(f)(5) thereunder 5 so that it would 

be effective while the Commission 

considered a separate proposed rule 

change filed under Section 19(b)(2) of 

the Exchange Act to amend the ISE’s 

rules to reflect the system change on a 

permanent basis (the ‘‘Permanent Rule 

Change’’).6 The current pilot expires on 

May 29, 2009,7 but the Commission has 

not yet taken action with respect to the 

Permanent Rule Change. Accordingly, 

the Exchange proposes to extend the 

pilot for an additional six months, until 

November 30, 2009, so that the system 

change will remain in effect while the 

Commission continues to evaluate the 

Permanent Rule Change.8

2. Statutory Basis 

The basis under the Exchange Act is 

found in Section 6(b)(5), in that the 

proposed rule change is designed to 

promote just and equitable principles of 

trade, remove impediments to and 

perfect the mechanisms of a free and 

open market and a national market 

system and, in general, to protect 

investors and the public interest. 

Extension of the pilot program will 

allow the Exchange to continue 

operating under the pilot while the 

Commission considers the Permanent 

Rule Change. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

The proposed rule change does not 

impose any burden on competition that 

is not necessary or appropriate in 

furtherance of the purposes of the 

Exchange Act. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants or Others 

The Exchange has not solicited, and 

does not intend to solicit, comments on 

this proposed rule change. The 

Exchange has not received any written 

comments from members or other 

interested parties. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

The proposed rule change has become 

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

of the Exchange Act 9 and Rule 19b– 

4(f)(5) 10 thereunder. At any time within 

60 days of the filing of such 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 proposes of the Exchange 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 is consistent with the Exchange 

Act. Comments may be submitted by 

any of the following methods:
