SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–60234; File No. SR–NSCC– 

2009–04] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; 

National Securities Clearing 

Corporation; Notice of Filing and 

Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed 

Rule Change Relating to Addendum O 

July 2, 2009. 

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

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’),1 notice is hereby given that on 

June 19, 2009, the National Securities 

Clearing Corporation (‘‘NSCC’’) 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 primarily by NSCC. 

NSCC filed the proposed rule change 

pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of 

the Act 2 and Rule 19b–4(f)(4) 

thereunder 3 so that the proposal was 

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 proposed rule change amends 

Addendum O to NSCC’s rules to correct 

Footnote 1 to make the footnote 

consistent with recently filed and 

effective changes to Addendum O. 

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

In its filing with the Commission, 

NSCC 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. NSCC 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 

The proposed rule change amends 

Footnote 1 of Addendum O 

(‘‘Admission of Non-US Entities as 

Direct NSCC Members’’) to NSCC’s 

rules. The new footnote will state that 

Addendum O is not applicable to nonU.S. insurance companies. 

NSCC inadvertently failed to update 

Footnote 1 when it amended Addendum 

O earlier this year to permit non-U.S. 

entities to apply to be Mutual Fund/ 

Insurance Services Members, Fund 

Members, and Insurance Carrier/ 

Retirement Services Members.4 Those 

changes had the effect of making 

Addendum O inapplicable only to nonU.S. insurance companies since NSCC 

did not establish membership standards 

for non-U.S. insurance companies. This 

current rule change updates Footnote 1. 

NSCC states that the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the 

requirements of Section 17A of the Act 5

and the rules and regulations 

promulgated thereunder by making 

technical corrections to NSCC’s rules for 

internal consistency. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

NSCC does not believe that the 

proposed rule change will have any 

impact or impose any burden on 

competition. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

NSCC has not solicited or received 

written comments relating to the 

proposed rule change. NSCC will notify 

the Commission of any written 

comments it receives. 

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)(iii) of the Act 6 and Rule 

19b–4(f)(4) 7 thereunder because it 

effects a change in an existing service of 

a registered clearing agency that does 

not adversely affect the safeguarding of 

securities and funds in the custody or 

control of the clearing agency or for 

which it is responsible and does not 

significantly affect the respective rights 

or obligations of the clearing agency or 

persons using the service. At any time 

within 60 days of the filing of the 

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

Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed 

Rule Change To Amend Its Chicago 

Board Options Exchange Stock 

Exchange Fees Schedule To Establish 

an Additional Transaction Fee Related 

to Stock Option Trades 

July 2, 2009. 

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

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 

‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on July 1, 

2009, the Chicago Board Options 

Exchange, Incorporated (the ‘‘Exchange’’ 

or ‘‘CBOE’’) 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 

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 Exchange proposes to amend its 

CBOE Stock Exchange (‘‘CBSX’’) Fees 

Schedule to establish a new transaction 

fee for the stock component of a stockoption trade. The text of the proposed 

rule change is available on the 

Exchange’s Web site (http:// 

www.cboe.org/legal), at the Exchange’s 

Office of the Secretary, and at the 

Commission’s Public Reference Room. 

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 those statements may be examined at

set forth in sections A, B, and C below, 

of the most significant parts of such 

statements. 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

CBSX is increasingly processing more 

stock trades that are the stock 

component of stock option transactions. 

CBOE now intends to establish a fee for 

the execution of the stock portion of a 

stock option transaction in which the 

stock is crossed using any of the cross 

order types outlined in CBSX Rule 51.8 

(Types of Orders Handled). The 

proposed fee is $0.0025 per share 

subject to a $1 per trade minimum and 

a $50 per trade maximum. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The proposed rule change is 

consistent with Section 6(b) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’),3 in general, and furthers the 

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

in particular, in that it is designed to 

provide for the equitable allocation of 

reasonable dues, fees, and other charges 

among CBOE members and other 

persons using its facilities.
