SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 

404(d), on July 29, 2011, the 

Commission received a petition for 

review of the Postal Service’s 

determination to close the post office in 

Thayer, Iowa. The petition was filed by 

Mike Tonelli (Petitioner) and is 

postmarked July 20, 2011. The 

Commission hereby institutes a 

proceeding under 39 U.S.C. 404(d)(5) 

and establishes Docket No. A2011–37 to 

consider Petitioner’s appeal. If 

Petitioner would like to further explain 

his position with supplemental 

information or facts, Petitioner may 

either file a Participant Statement on 

PRC Form 61 or file a brief with the 

Commission no later than September 2, 

2011. 

Categories of issues apparently raised. 

Petitioner contends that the Postal 

Service failed to consider the effect of 

the closing on the community. See 39 

U.S.C. 404(d)(2)(A)(i). 

After the Postal Service files the 

administrative record and the 

Commission reviews it, the Commission 

may find that there are more legal issues 

than the one set forth above, or that the 

Postal Service’s determination disposes 

of one or more of those issues. The 

deadline for the Postal Service to file the 

applicable administrative record with 

the Commission is August 15, 2011. See 

39 CFR 3001.113. In addition, the due

[Release No. 34–65024; File No. SR– 

NASDAQ–2011–102] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The 

NASDAQ Stock Market LLC; Notice of 

Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of 

Proposed Rule Change To Introduce a 

Bulk-Quoting Interface 

August 3, 2011. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on July 27, 

2011, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC 

(‘‘NASDAQ’’ or the ‘‘Exchange’’) filed 

with the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the 

proposed rule change as described in 

Items I and II below, which Items have 

been prepared by the Exchange. The 

Commission is publishing this notice to 

solicit comments on the proposed rule 

change from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

NASDAQ is filing with the 

Commission a proposal to introduce a 

bulk-quoting interface for NASDAQ 

market makers that will help them meet 

their obligations as market makers and 

to provide liquidity to the market in an 

efficient manner. 

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 currently offers an orderbased market making interface on its 

options trading platform (‘‘NOM’’). 

Market makers use this interface to 

provide a two-sided quotation on NOM. 

Since it is an order-based interface, a 

two-sided quotation requires the entry 

of both a buy and a sell order. 

As part of several technological 

enhancements NASDAQ plans to 

implement on NOM, NASDAQ proposes 

to introduce a bulk-quoting interface for 

market makers in order to offer an 

additional market making interface 

choice to NASDAQ market makers. The 

proposed bulk-quoting market making 

interface will be used by market makers 

to submit and update their quotations in 

the marketplace much like the current 

order-based interface is used today. The 

bulk-quoting interface, however, allows 

market makers to provide both a bid and 

an offer in one message. In addition, the 

bulk-quoting interface allows market 

makers to bundle several quote updates 

into one bulk message. This is a useful 

feature for market makers that provide 

quotations in many different options. 

Furthermore, the bulk-quoting market 

making interface includes certain data 

elements (described below) which
