## 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

                    NASDAQ proposes to make a clerical correction to the NASDAQ rulebook. Specifically, NASDAQ proposes to renumber NASDAQ Options Market Chapter VI, Section 10. On June 14, 2011, NASDAQ submitted a proposed rule filing to adopt anti-internalization functionality for registered market makers on the NASDAQ Options Market. The Commission published the notice of filing and immediate effectiveness on June 23, 2011.[4]                                          Although the rule change was effective upon filing, the change is not operative until August 1, 2011. The Exchange is renumbering this previously approved rule because another rule change has been approved that uses the same number. There is no change to the substance of the rule.                

#### 2. Statutory Basis

                    NASDAQ believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,[5]                                          in general, and with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,[6]                                          in particular, in that the proposal is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitating transactions in securities, 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 NASDAQ rule.                

### B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended.

### C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

Written comments were neither solicited nor 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, NASDAQ                           ( print page 50522)                        believes that its proposal should become immediately effective.                

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.
