This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily
Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal
Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official
electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal
Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the
corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the
daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial
informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal
Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status.

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”),[1]
and Rule 19b-4 [2]
thereunder, notice is hereby given that on February 1, 2013, the Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc. (“CHX” or the “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 Exchange. CHX has filed this proposal pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 19b-4(f)(6),[3]
which is effective upon filing with the Commission.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change
CHX proposes to amend CHX Article 8, Rule 13, which, among other things, prohibits deceptive and other abusive telemarketing acts or practices, to correct a citation error. The text of this proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site at (
www.chx.com) and in 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, CHX included statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule changes 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. CHX 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 Changes
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend Article 8, Rule 13 (Advertising, Promotion and Telemarketing), which, among other things, prohibits deceptive and other abusive telemarketing acts or practices. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to amend Article 8, Rule 13(d)(1)(A), to correct a citation error.
Currently, the Rule correctly provides that no Participant [4]
or person associated therewith shall initiate any outbound telephone call to any residence of a person before the hour of 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m. (local time at the called party's location), unless the Participant has an “established business relationship” with the person.[5]
However, the Rule incorrectly states that the term “established business relationship” is defined “pursuant to paragraph (m)(12).” Instead, the citation should refer to CHX Article 8, Rule 13(p)(12), which provides the definition for an “established business relationship.” [6]
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Exchange Act,[7]
in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Exchange Act,[8]
in particular, in that it is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. The Exchange believes that the change proposed herein meets these requirements in that it corrects a citation error in a CHX rule that
( printed page 13920)
establishes telemarketing guidelines, which promotes just and equitable principles of trade and removes impediments to, and perfects the mechanism of, a free and open market and a national market system and contributes to the protection of investors and the public interest.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Exchange Act. Specifically, the proposed change will not impose any burden on competition where the proposed change to correct a citation error does not substantively change the meaning or application of the telemarketing rules outlined under Article 8, Rule 13 and comports such rules with the telemarketing rules of other exchanges.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments Regarding the Proposed Rule Changes Received From Members, Participants or Others
CHX neither solicited nor received written comments on the proposed rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Changes and Timing for Commission Action
The Exchange believes that the proposal qualifies for immediate effectiveness upon filing as a “non-controversial” rule change in accordance with Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Exchange Act [9]
and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.[10]
The Exchange asserts that the proposed rule change (i) does not significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest, (ii) does not impose any significant burden on competition, and (iii) by its terms, does not become operative for 30 days after the date of this filing, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. In addition, the Exchange provided the Commission with written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at least five business days prior to the date of filing, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate.
The Exchange believes that this proposal is non-controversial and eligible to become effective immediately because it corrects a citation error by amending the rule to correctly cite to an already existing rule. For the foregoing reasons, the Exchange believes that this rule filing qualifies for immediate effectiveness as a “non-controversial” rule change under paragraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4.[11]
The Exchange respectfully requests that the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay and five-day notice requirement to allow the citation correction.
At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend 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 purposes of the Exchange Act.
