    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

[[Page 50510]]

(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 \2\ thereunder, notice is hereby given 
that on August 3, 2011, NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC (``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'') 
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or 
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, 
and III, below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The 
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange is filing with the Commission a proposal to amend 
Exchange Rule 1080 (Phlx XL and XL II) to correct a typographical 
error.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's 
Web site at http://nasdaqomxphlx.cchwallstreet.com/NASDAQOMXPHLX/Filings/, at the principal office of the Exchange, and at 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, the Exchange 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.

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

1. Purpose
    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to correct a 
typographical error in subsection (m)(iii)(D) of Rule 1080.
    On July 13, 2011, the Exchange filed an immediately effective 
proposal to amend Phlx Rule 1080(m) \3\ to make certain changes 
consistent with the upcoming implementation of Rule 15c3-5 under the 
Act (the ``Market Access Rule'').\4\ There is a typographical error in 
new subsection (m) of Rule 1080. Inadvertently, the new text in Rule 
1080(m) was labeled as Rule 1080(m)(iii)(D) rather than correctly as 
Rule 1080(m)(iii)(E). Therefore, the exchange is hereby correcting the 
error by relabeling the new subsection as Rule 1080(m)(iii)(E). Phlx is 
making no other changes to Rule 1080.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 64900 (July 18, 
2011) (SR-Phlx-2011-99).
    \4\ 17 CFR 240.15c3-5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 
6(b) of the Act \5\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 
6(b)(5) of the Act \6\ in particular, in that it is designed 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 proposed rule change makes a minor clerical change to an existing 
Phlx rule.

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(3) 
thereunder,\8\ NASDAQ has designated this proposal as one that is 
concerned solely with the administration of the self-regulatory 
organization. Accordingly, the Exchange believes that this proposal is 
immediately effective and operative upon filing.

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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: (i) 
Necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the 
protection of investors; or (iii) otherwise in furtherance of the 
purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the 
Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the 
proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.
