Self-Regulatory Organizations; Order

Approving Proposed Rule Change, and

Notice of Filing and Order Granting

Accelerated Approval to Amendment

No. 2 to Proposed Rule Change, by the

Chicago Board Options Exchange, Inc.

To Amend its Rule Governing the

Operation of Its Automatic Book

Priority System To Permit Split-Price

Executions

DATE: February 6, 2001.

I. Introduction

On May 24, 2000, the Chicago Board

Options Exchange, Inc. (‘‘CBOE’’ or

‘‘Exchange’’), filed with the Securities

and Exchange Commission

(‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Section

19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act

of 1934 (‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4

thereunder,2 a proposed rule change to

amend its rules governing the operation

of its Retail Automatic Execution

System (‘‘RAES’’) to provide for splitprice executions under the Automatic

Book Priority (‘‘ABP’’) system. On June

22, 2000, CBOE filed Amendment No. 1

to the proposed rule change.3 The

proposed rule change was published in

the Federal Register on October 19,

2000.4 No comments were received on

the proposal. On November 30, 2000,

CBOE filed Amendment No. 2 to the

proposed rule change.5 This order

approves the proposed rule change, as

amended. In addition, the Commission

is publishing this notice to solicit

comments on Amendment No. 2 to the

proposed rule change, and is

simultaneously approving Amendment

No. 2 on an accelerated basis.

II. Description of the Proposed Rule

Change

A. Text of the Proposed Rule Change

The CBOE proposes to amend its rules

governing the operation of its Retail

Automatic Execution System (‘‘RAES’’)

to provide for split-price executions

under the ABP system. Below is the text

of the proposed rule change. Proposed

new language is italicized and proposed

deletions are in [brackets].6

* * * * *

Rule 6.8. RAES Operations

This Rule governs RAES operations in

all classes of options, except to the

extent otherwise expressly provided in

this or other Rules in respect of

specified classes of options.

(a)(i) Firms on the Exchange’s Order

Routing System (‘‘ORS’’) will

automatically be on the Exchange’s

Retail Automatic Execution System

(‘‘RAES’’) for purposes of routing small

public customer market or marketable

limit orders into the RAES system.

Those orders which are eligible for

routing to RAES may be subject to such

contingencies as the appropriate Floor

Procedure Committee (‘‘FPC’’) shall

approve. Public customer orders are

orders for accounts other than accounts

in which a member, non-member

participant in a joint-venture with a

member, or any non-member brokerdealer (including a foreign broker-dealer

as defined in Rule 1.1 (xx)) has an

interest. The appropriate Floor

Procedure Committee (‘‘FPC’’) shall

determine the size of orders eligible for

entry into RAES in accordance with

paragraph (e) of this Rule. For purposes

of determining what a small customer

order is, a customer’s order cannot be

split up such that its parts are eligible

for entry into RAES. Firms on ORS have

the ability to go on and off ORS at will.

Firms not on ORS that wish to

participate will be given access to RAES

from terminals at their booths on the

floor.

(ii) When RAES receives an order, the

system automatically will attach to the

order its execution price, determined by

the prevailing market quote at the time

of the order’s entry to the system, except

as otherwise provided in paragraph (b)

of this Rule in instances where the best

bid or offer on the Exchange’s book

constitutes the prevailing market best

bid or offer, and as otherwise provided

in Interpretation and Policy .02 under

this Rule 6.8 in respect of multiplytraded options. A buy order will pay the

offer, a sell order will sell at the bid. A

Market-Maker logged on to participate

in RAES (a ‘‘Participating Marketmaker’’) will be designated as contrabroker on the trade. A trade executed on

RAES at an erroneous quote should be

treated as a trade reported at an

erroneous price and adjusted to reflect

the accurate market after receiving a

Floor Official’s approval.

(b) When the best bid or offer on the

Exchange’s book constitutes the best bid

or offer on the Exchange and is for a

size less than the RAES order eligibility

size for that class, such fact shall be
