A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose

The Exchange proposes to make clerical corrections to the rule text of Chapter V, Section 18 of the BOX Rules and the supplementary material thereto. These changes had been previously approved by the Commission.

Subsequent to the Commission's approval of the amendments to Chapter V, Section 18 of the BOX Rules and the supplementary material thereto, the Commission approved, further amendments to Chapter V, Section 18 of the BOX Rules and the supplementary material thereto. The later amendments are currently reflected in the BOX Rules. The Exchange proposes to make clerical corrections to Supplementary Material .03, as originally proposed, and renumber current Supplementary Material .03 as Supplementary Material .04.

2. Basis

The Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act, in general, and Section 6(b)(5) of the Act, in particular, in that it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts, 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 proposed rule change will allow the Exchange to properly reflect the appropriate approved text in the BOX Rules.

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

The Exchange has neither solicited nor received comments on the proposed rule change.

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(3) thereunder, the Exchange has designated this proposal as one that is concerned solely with the administration of the self-regulatory organization. Accordingly, the Exchange believes that its proposal should become immediately effective. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate the rule change if it appears to the Commission that the action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or would otherwise further the purposes of the Act.
