Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59995 (May 

28, 2009), 74 FR 26750 (June 3, 2009) (SR–Phlx– 

2009–32) (The Exchange replaced the terms 

AUTOM and AUTO-X with the Phlx XL System, 

such that references to both terms refer to Phlx XL.)

Exchange Rule 1080(l). Customers who 

are on the contra-side of a trade 

involving Directed Orders would not be 

subject to a fee. Also, Complex Orders 

in index and foreign currency options 

would not be subject to this assessment, 

but will continue to be assessed the 

option transaction charges in effect on 

the Exchange for simple orders for all 

participants. The Exchange proposes 

this amendment in order to create 

incentives for specialists, SQTs and 

RSQTs that receive directed order flow 

to provide liquidity in Complex Orders 

sent to the Exchange for execution and 

to encourage directed order flow. 

Currently, the Exchange assesses an 

equity option transaction charge of $.08 

per contract side for specialists and 

ROTs, including SQTs and RSQTs, on 

contracts executed electronically as part 

of a Complex Order in equity options. 

Market participants other than 

specialists and ROTs are assessed the 

applicable current equity option 

transaction charge. Complex Orders are 

currently assessed on a net debit/credit 

basis and are billed on a per contract 

side basis, regardless of the manner in 

which the order was delivered to the 

Exchange. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes that its 

proposal to amend its schedule of fees 

is consistent with Section 6(b) of the 

Act 13 in general, and furthers the 

objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act 14

in particular, in that it is an equitable 

allocation of reasonable fees and other 

charges among Exchange members. 

Specifically, the Exchange believes that 

this proposal is equitable because it 

would apply evenly to specialists, SQTs 

and RSQTs transacting with Complex 

Orders sent to the Exchange for 

execution, in that any specialist, SQT or 

RSQT may act as a Directed Participant 

and receive the $.01 per contract fee. 

Also, the Exchange believes this 

proposal will increase liquidity in 

Complex Orders. 

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 

The foregoing rule change has become 

effective pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act 15 and 

paragraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b–4 16

thereunder. 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

interest, for the protection of investors, 

or otherwise in furtherance of the 

purposes of the Act. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments

1For purposes of its investigation, the ITC 

considered certain passenger vehicle and light truck 

tires to consist of new pneumatic tires, of rubber, 

from China, of a kind used on motor cars (except 

racing cars) and on-the-highway light trucks, vans, 

and sport utility vehicles, provided for in 

subheadings 4011.10.10, 4011.10.50, 4011.20.10, 

and 4011.20.50 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule 

of the United States (hereafter ‘‘Chinese tires’’). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

202 of the William Wilberforce 

Trafficking Victims Protection 

Reauthorization Act of 2008 

(WWTVPRA), Public Law 110–457, 

mandated that the Secretary of State, in 

consultation with the Secretary of 

Homeland Security, the Attorney 

General, and the Secretary of Labor, 

develop an information pamphlet on 

legal rights and resources for aliens 

applying for employment- or educationbased nonimmigrant visas. Working 

closely with the Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS), the 

Department of Justice (DOJ), the 

Department of Labor (DOL), and the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS), and in consultation 

with non-governmental organizations 

(NGOs) with expertise on the legal 

rights of workers and victims of severe 

forms of trafficking in persons, the 

Department of State has completed this 

pamphlet, which is posted online at 

http://Travel.State.gov/ and which will 

shortly be posted on the Web sites of 

U.S. embassies and consulates 

worldwide. The pamphlet, to be 

distributed to applicants applying for 

certain employment- or education-based 

nonimmigrant visa classifications, as 

provided in the WWTVPRA, notifies 

nonimmigrant workers in the United 

States of their rights and gives them 

resources in the event they fall victim to 

abuse or human trafficking. The 

pamphlet represents a major step in the 

Department’s efforts to combat human 

trafficking and labor rights violations. 

The Department of State has sent the 

pamphlet to its partners at DHS, DOJ, 

DOL, and HHS and would like to let all 

agencies, NGOs, foreign labor brokers, 

and other interested persons know that 

the information is now available and 

may be copied and provided to other 

parties.

2451(b)(1)), that certain passenger 

vehicle and light truck tires 1 from the 

People’s Republic of China (China) are 

being imported into the United States in 

such increased quantities or under such 

conditions as to cause market disruption 

to the domestic producers of like or 

directly competitive products. Pursuant 

to section 421(h)(1) of the Trade Act, the 

United States Trade Representative 

(USTR) is publishing notice of proposed 

restrictions with respect to imports of 

Chinese tires. USTR invites domestic 

producers, importers, exporters, and 

other interested parties to submit their 

views and evidence on the 

appropriateness of the proposed 

restrictions and whether they would be 

in the public interest. USTR also invites 

interested parties to participate in a 

public hearing (if one is requested). 

DATES: Requests for USTR to hold a 

public hearing are due by July 27, 2009. 

Written comments and requests to 

testify at any public hearing are also due

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. The ITC Investigation and Section 

421 

Following receipt of a petition filed 

on April 20, 2009, by the United Steel, 

Paper and Forestry, Rubber, 

Manufacturing, Energy, Allied 

Industrial and Service Workers 

International Union (‘‘USW’’), the ITC 

instituted investigation No. TA–421–7, 

under section 421 of the Trade Act (19 

U.S.C. 2451) to determine whether 

Chinese tires are being imported into 

the United States in such increased 

quantities or under such conditions as 

to cause or threaten to cause market 

disruption to the domestic producers of 

like or directly competitive products. 

The ITC made an affirmative market 

disruption determination on June 18, 

2009, and transmitted a report on its 

determination, as well as its remedy 

proposals, to USTR on July 9, 2009. The 

views of the ITC, including its remedy 

proposals, and the ITC staff report, are 

available on the ITC’s Web site (http:// 

www.usitc.gov) and are contained in 

USITC Publication 4085 (July 2009), 

entitled ‘‘Certain Passenger Vehicle and 

Light Truck Tires from China.’’ A copy 

of that publication can be obtained from 

the ITC after July 30, 2009, by e-mailing 

pubrequest@usitc.gov, calling (202) 

205–2000, or writing to the Office of the 

Secretary, 500 E Street, SW., 

Washington, DC 20436. Requests may 

also be faxed to (202) 205–2104. 

Following an affirmative 

determination by the ITC, and pursuant 

to Section 421(h) of the Trade Act, 

USTR is required to make a 

recommendation to the President 

concerning what action, if any, the 

President should take to remedy the 

market disruption. Within 15 days after 

receiving USTR’s recommendation, the 

President is required to provide import 

relief unless the President determines 

that providing such relief is not in the 

national economic interest of the United 

States or, in extraordinary cases, that 

taking action would cause serious harm 

to the national security of the United 

States. (Section 421(k).) Before making a 

recommendation, USTR is required to 

publish notice of any measures it may 

propose and provide an opportunity to 

comment. 

2. Proposed Measure and Opportunity 

for Comment 

The ITC recommended that the 

President impose an additional duty for 

three years on imports of Chinese tires 

as follows: 55 percent ad valorem in the 

first year, 45 percent ad valorem in the 

second year, and 35 percent ad valorem 

in the third year. The ITC further 

recommended that, if applications are
