SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation 

(PBGC) intends to request that the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) 

extend approval, under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act, of a collection of 

information contained in its regulation 

on Partitions of Eligible Multiemployer 

Plans (29 CFR part 4233) (OMB control 

number 1212–0068; expires December 

31, 2018). This notice informs the 

public of PBGC’s intent and solicits 

public comment on the collection of 

information. 

Sections 4233(a) and (b) of the 

Employee Retirement Income Security 

Act of 1974 (ERISA) allow a plan 

sponsor of a multiemployer plan to 

apply to PBGC for a partition of the plan 

and state the criteria that PBGC uses to 

determine a plan’s eligibility for a 

partition. 

PBGC’s regulation on Partitions of 

Eligible Multiemployer Plans (29 CFR 

part 4233) sets forth the procedures for 

applying for a partition, the information 

required to be included in a partition 

application, and notices to interested 

parties of the application. 

PBGC needs the information to 

determine whether a plan is eligible for 

partition and whether a proposed 

partition would comply with the 

statutory conditions required before 

PGBC may order a partition. 

The collection of information under 

the regulation has been approved by 

OMB control number 1212–0068 

(expires December 31, 2018). PBGC 

intends to request that OMB extend its 

approval for another three years. An 

agency may not conduct or sponsor, and 

a person is not required to respond to, 

a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

PBGC estimates that there will be six 

applications for partition each year for 

which plan sponsors submit 

applications under this regulation. The 

total estimated annual burden of the 

collection of information is 78 hours 

and $239,400. 

PBGC is soliciting public comments 

to— 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodologies and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses.

to its Rulebook with the purpose of improving 

efficiency and readability and to align its rules 

closer to those of its five sister exchanges, Nasdaq 

BX, Inc.; Nasdaq PHLX LLC; Nasdaq ISE, LLC; 

Nasdaq GEMX, LLC; and Nasdaq MRX, LLC

currently contains eight (8) Chapters which, once 

complete, will apply a common set of rules to the 

Affiliated Exchanges. See Securities Exchange Act

NASDAQ–2018–067] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The 

Nasdaq Stock Market LLC; Notice of 

Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of 

Proposed Rule Change To Delete and 

Replace the Current Rules on 

Arbitration 

August 13, 2018. 

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 August 9, 

2018, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC 

(‘‘Nasdaq’’ 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 proposed rule 

change from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

The Exchange proposes to delete the 

current rules on arbitration (‘‘Current 

Arbitration Rules’’), currently under the 

10000 Series (Rules 10001 through 

10102), and adopt the Nasdaq ISE, LLC 

(‘‘ISE’’) rules on arbitration in Chapter 

18 of the ISE’s rulebook (‘‘Proposed 

Arbitration Rules’’) into General 6 in the 

Exchange’s rulebook’s (‘‘Rulebook’’) 

shell structure.3

The text of the proposed rule change 

is available on the Exchange’s website at 

http://nasdaq.cchwallstreet.com, 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 Exchange proposes to delete the 

rules on arbitration, currently under the 

10000 Series (Rules 10001 through 

10102), and adopt the ISE rules on 

arbitration in Chapter 18 of the ISE’s 

rulebook into General 6 in the 

Exchange’s Rulebook. 

The Exchange adopted the Current 

Arbitration Rules to ensure a fair and 

efficient manner in which to handle any 

dispute, claim or controversy arising out 

of, or in connection with, the business 

of any Member of the Exchange. To help 

administer the process of dispute 

resolution, the Exchange and FINRA are 

parties to a Regulatory Contract, 

pursuant to which FINRA has agreed to 

perform certain functions and provide 

access to certain services, including: 

member regulation and registration; 

non-real time market surveillance; 

examinations and investigations; and 

dispute resolution. FINRA currently 

operates the largest securities dispute 

resolution forum in the United States,4

and has given the Exchange access to 

these services. Under the Current 

Arbitration Rules, Members and 

associated persons of a Member are 

subject to the FINRA Code of 

Arbitration Procedure. 

Because the Affiliated Exchanges are 

also parties to similar Regulatory 

Contracts with FINRA that make their 

members and associated persons of such 

members subject to the FINRA Code of 

Arbitration Procedure, the Exchange 

believes it is pertinent that a common 

set of rules on arbitration be included in 

the General section of the Rulebook’s 

shell. These rules will, pursuant to 

subsequent filings, then replace the 

existing arbitration rules for each of the 

Affiliated Exchanges. 

As part of the process of harmonizing 

these rules, staff evaluated the 

corresponding rules on arbitration at 

each of the Affiliated Exchanges. Staff 

have determined that the Proposed 

Arbitration Rules are the easiest to read 

and the most accessible, and do not
