SUBJECT CATEGORY: Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated; Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change To Assess, on a Retroactive Basis, Certain CBOE and CBSX Market Data Fees DOCUMENT SUMMARY: July 2, 2007. Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that on June 28, 2007, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (``CBOE'' 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 substantially prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b4.
I. SelfRegulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The Exchange proposes to amend its Fees Schedule to assess, retroactive to April 1, 2007, fees relating to CBOE and CBOE Stock Exchange (``CBSX'') market data that were implemented on June 1, 2007. The text of the proposed rule change is available at CBOE, the Commission's Public Reference Room, and http://www.cboe.org/legal.
II. SelfRegulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change In its filing with the Commission, CBOE 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 Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.
On June 1, 2007, the Exchange implemented new fees relating to TickerXpress (``TX''), which is an Exchange service that supplies market data to Exchange marketmakers trading on the Hybrid Trading System.\3\ Specifically, the Exchange increased the monthly fee for enhanced TX market data from $200 per month to $300 per month and adopted a fee of $100 per TX user per month for use of TX software for the use and display of market data. The Exchange proposes to assess these fees for the period April 1, 2007 through [[Page 37555]]
May 31, 2007, to help compensate the Exchange for its increased costs in providing the TX data and to help offset the license fees paid by the Exchange to its thirdparty provider for making the TX software available to users during this time period.
\3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 55882 (June 8, 2007), 72 FR 32931 (June 14, 2007) (File No. SRCBOE200754).
On June 1, 2007, the Exchange adopted a monthly fee to recoup the fees CBSX pays a thirdparty market data vendor and other parties to help establish facilities at CBSX through which the thirdparty market data vendor can provide CBSX participants with certain market data.\4\ The fee is equal to $19,400 divided by the number of CBSX participants receiving the market data. The Exchange proposes to assess this fee for the period April 1, 2007 through May 31, 2007, to recoup the fees CBSX paid during this time period for providing the infrastructure to make the market data available to CBSX participants. \4\ See id.
CBOE believes the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act \5\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \6\ in particular, in that it is designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among CBOE members. \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
