Self-Regulatory Organizations; Nasdaq 

PHLX LLC; Notice of Filing and 

Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed 

Rule Change To Amend Its Fees for 

Connectivity and Co-Location Services 

October 25, 2024. 

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 October 

11, 2024, Nasdaq PHLX LLC (‘‘Phlx’’ or 

‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘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 amend the 

Exchange’s fees for connectivity and colocation services, as described further 

below. 

The text of the proposed rule change 

is available on the Exchange’s website at 

https://listingcenter.nasdaq.com/ 

rulebook/phlx/rules, 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 amend the Exchange’s fees 

relating to connectivity and co-location 

services.3 Specifically, the Exchange 

proposes to raise its fees for 

connectivity and co-location services in 

General 8 as well as certain fees related 

to its Testing Facilities in Equity 7, 

Section 3 by 10%, with certain 

exceptions. 

General 8, Section 1 includes the 

Exchange’s fees that relate to 

connectivity, including fees for cabinets, 

external telco/inter-cabinet connectivity 

fees, fees for connectivity to the 

Exchange, fees for connectivity to third 

party services, fees for market data 

connectivity, fees for cabinet power 

install, and fees for additional charges 

and services. General 8, Section 2 

includes the Exchange’s fees for direct 

connectivity services, including fees for

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 211 / Thursday, October 31, 2024 / Notices 86889 

4The Exchange proposes to exclude the GPS 

Antenna fees from the proposed fee increase 

because, unlike the other fees in General 8, the 

Exchange recently increased its GPS Antenna fees. 

See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34–99125 

(December 8, 2023), 88 FR 86705 (December 14, 

2023) (SR–Phlx–2023–53). The Exchange also 

proposes to exclude the Cabinet Proximity Option 

Fee for cabinets with power density >10kW from 

the proposed fee increase because the Exchange 

recently established such fee. See Securities 

Exchange Act Release No. 34–100197 (May 21, 

2024), 89 FR 46185 (May 28, 2024) (SR–Phlx–2024– 

23). Similarly, the Exchange proposes to exclude 

from the proposed fee increase those fees that the 

Exchange recently established for services in its 

new NY11–4 expansion facility. See Securities 

Exchange Act Release No. 34–101268 (October 7, 

2024), 89 FR 82661 (October 11, 2024) (SR–PHLX– 

2024–49).

direct circuit connection to the 

Exchange, fees for direct circuit 

connection to third party services, and 

fees for point of presence connectivity. 

With the exception of the Exchange’s 

GPS Antenna fees and the Cabinet 

Proximity Option Fee for cabinets with 

power density >10kW,4 the Exchange 

proposes to increase its fees throughout 

General 8 by 10%. 

In addition to increasing fees in 

General 8, the Exchange also proposes 

to increase certain fees in Equity 7, 

Section 3, which relate to the Testing 

Facility. Equity 7, Section 3 provides 

that subscribers to the Testing Facility 

located in Carteret, New Jersey shall pay 

a fee of $1,000 per hand-off, per month 

for connection to the Testing Facility. 

The hand-off fee includes either a 1Gb 

or 10Gb switch port and a cross connect 

to the Testing Facility. In addition, 

Equity 7, Section 3 provides that 

subscribers shall also pay a one-time 

installation fee of $1,000 per hand-off. 

The Exchange proposes to increase 

these aforementioned fees by 10% to 

require that subscribers to the Testing 

Facility shall pay a fee of $1,100 per 

hand-off, per month for connection to 

the Testing Facility and a one-time 

installation fee of $1,100 per hand-off. 

The proposed increases in fees would 

enable the Exchange to maintain and 

improve its market technology and 

services to remain competitive with its 

peers. Over the years, customer demand 

for more sophisticated, higherthroughput, lower-latency, and higherpower connectivity solutions has 

increased. The Exchange continues to 

invest in maintaining, improving, and 

enhancing its connectivity and colocation products, services, and 

facilities—for the benefit and often at 

the behest of its customers. Such 

enhancements include refreshing 

hardware and expanding Nasdaq’s 

existing co-location facility to offer 

customers additional space and power. 

Nevertheless, and with the exception of 

fees that were established as part of a 

new service in 2017 (and have remained 

unchanged since their adoption), the 

Exchange has not increased any of the 

fees included in the proposal since prior 

to 2017, and many of the fees date back 

to between 2010 and 2014 (where 

inflation has been between roughly 15– 

17%, as measured using the metric 

described below). Nevertheless, the 

Exchange proposes to increase its fees 

only with respect to inflation that has 

occurred since 2017. 

As discussed below, the Exchange 

proposes to adjust its fees by an 

industry- and product-specific 

inflationary measure. It is reasonable 

and consistent with the Act for the 

Exchange to recoup its investments, at 

least in part, by adjusting its fees. 

Continuing to operate at fees frozen at 

2010–2017 levels impacts the 

Exchange’s ability to enhance its 

offerings and the interests of market 

participants and investors. 

The fee increases the Exchange 

proposes are based on an industryspecific Producer Price Index (‘‘PPI’’), 

which is a tailored measure of 

inflation.5 As a general matter, the 

Producer Price Index is a family of 

indexes that measures the average 

change over time in selling prices 

received by domestic producers of 

goods and services. PPI measures price 

change from the perspective of the 

seller. This contrasts with other metrics, 

such as the Consumer Price Index 

(‘‘CPI’’), that measure price change from 

the purchaser’s perspective.6 About 

10,000 PPIs for individual products and 

groups of products are tracked and 

released each month.7 PPIs are available 

for the output of nearly all industries in 

the goods-producing sectors of the U.S. 

economy—mining, manufacturing, 

agriculture, fishing, and forestry—as 

well as natural gas, electricity, and 

construction, among others. The PPI 

program covers approximately 69 

percent of the service sector’s output, as 

measured by revenue reported in the 

2017 Economic Census. 

For purposes of this proposal, the 

relevant industry-specific PPI is the 

Data Processing and Related Services 

PPI (‘‘Data PPI’’), which is an industry 

net-output PPI that measures the 

average change in selling prices 

received by companies that provide data 

processing services. 

The Data PPI was introduced in 

January 2002 by the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics (‘‘BLS’’) as part of an ongoing 

effort to expand Producer Price Index 

coverage of the services sector of the 

U.S. economy and is identified as 

NAICS—518210 in the North American 

Industry Classification System.8

According to the BLS ‘‘[t]he primary 

output of NAICS 518210 is the 

provision of electronic data processing 

services. In the broadest sense, 

computer services companies help their 

customers efficiently use technology. 

The processing services market consists 

of vendors who use their own computer 

systems—often utilizing proprietary 

software— to process customers’ 

transactions and data. Companies that 

offer processing services collect, 

organize, and store a customer’s 

transactions and other data for recordkeeping purposes. Price movements for 

the NAICS 518210 index are based on 

changes in the revenue received by 

companies that provide data processing 

services. Each month, companies 

provide net transaction prices for a 

specified service. The transaction is an 

actual contract selected by probability, 

where the price-determining 

characteristics are held constant while 

the service is repriced. The prices used 

in index calculation are the actual 

prices billed for the selected service 

contract.’’ 9

The Exchange believes the Data PPI is 

an appropriate measure to be considered 

in the context of the proposed rule 

change to modify the fee for its 

connectivity products because the 

Exchange uses its ‘‘own computer 

systems’’ and ‘‘proprietary software,’’ 

i.e., its own data center and proprietary 

matching engine software, respectively, 

to collect, organize, store and report 

customers’ transactions in U.S. equity 

securities on the Exchange’s proprietary 

trading platform. In other words, the 

Exchange is in the business of data 

processing and related services. 

For purposes of this proposed rule 

change, the Exchange examined the 

Data PPI value for the period from 

January 2017 to August 2024. The Data 

PPI had a starting value of 105.6 in 

January 2017 and an ending value of 

116.022 in August 2024, a 10.422% 

increase. This indicates that companies 

who are also in the data storage and 

processing business have generally 

increased prices for a specified service 

covered under NAICS 518210 by an 

average of 10.422% during this period. 

Based on that percentage change, the 

Exchange proposes to make a one-time 

fee increase of only 10%, which reflects

and facility improvements. Additionally, other 

exchanges have filed for increases in certain fees, 

based in part on comparisons to inflation. See, e.g., 

Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 34–100004 

(April 22, 2024), 89 FR 32465 (April 26, 2024) (SR–

of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed 

Rule Change To Expand [the Exchange’s] CoLocation Services). 

an increase covering roughly the entire 

period since the last price adjustments 

to these fees were made. 

The Exchange further believes the 

Data PPI is an appropriate measure for 

purposes of the proposed rule change on 

the basis that it is a stable metric with 

limited volatility, unlike other 

consumer-side inflation metrics. In fact, 

the Data PPI has not experienced a 

greater than 2.16% increase for any one 

calendar year period since Data PPI was 

introduced into the PPI in January 2002. 

The average calendar year change from 

January 2002 to December 2023 was 

.62%, with a cumulative increase of 

15.67% over this 21-year period. The 

Exchange believes the Data PPI is 

considerably less volatile than other 

inflation metrics such as CPI, which has 

had individual calendar-year increases 

of more than 6.5%, and a cumulative 

increase of over 73% over the same 

period.10

The Exchange believes the Data PPI, 

and significant investments into, and 

enhanced performance of, the Exchange 

support the reasonableness of the 

proposed fee increases.11

These proposed fee increases will be 

immediately effective upon filing. 

However, going forward and until 

December 1, 2024, the Exchange will 

waive all fees set forth herein to the 

extent that such fees exceed the levels 

that would have been charged for the 

same products and services purchased 

during that time period, had such fees 

been calculated at the rates set forth in 

SR–PHLX–2024–45. This waiver is 

reasonable, equitable, and not unfairly 

discriminatory because it will afford all 

customers in excess of the 30-day prior 

notice period for fee changes set forth in 

the Exchange’s service terms. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes that its 

proposal is consistent with Section 6(b) 

of the Act,12 in general, and furthers the 

objectives of Sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) 

of the Act,13 in particular, in that it 

provides for the equitable allocation of 

reasonable dues, fees and other charges 

among members and issuers and other 

persons using any facility, and is not 

designed to permit unfair 

discrimination between customers, 

issuers, brokers, or dealers. 

This belief is based on two factors. 

First, the current fees do not properly 

reflect the quality of the services and 

products, as fees for the services and 

products in question have been static in 

nominal terms, and therefore falling in 

real terms due to inflation. Second, the 

Exchange believes that investments 

made in enhancing the capacity and 

speed of Exchange systems increase the 

performance of the services and 

products. 

The Proposed Rule Change Is 

Reasonable 

As noted above, the Exchange has not 

increased any of the fees included in the 

proposal since 2017 or earlier. However, 

in the years following the last fee 

increases, the Exchange has made 

significant investments in upgrades to 

its connectivity products, services, and 

facilities, enhancing the quality of its 

services, as measured by, among other 

things, increased throughput and 

increased power and space capacity. In 

other words, Exchange customers have 

greatly benefitted, while the Exchange’s 

ability to recoup its investments has 

been hampered. Between 2017 and 

2024, the inflation rate is 3.64% per 

year, on average, producing a 

cumulative inflation rate of 28.43%.14

Using the more targeted inflation 

number of Data PPI, the cumulative 

inflation rate was 10.422%. The 

exchange believes the Data PPI is a 

reasonable metric to base this fee 

increase on because it is targeted to 

producer-side increases in the data 

processing industry, which based on the 

definition adopted by BLS would 

include the Exchange’s market data 

products. 

Notwithstanding inflation, as noted 

above, the Exchange has not increased 

its fees at all for over seven years for the 

subject services. The proposed fee 

changes represent a modest increase 

from the current fees. The Exchange 

believes the proposed fee increase is 

reasonable in light of the Exchange’s 

continued expenditure in maintaining a 

robust technology ecosystem. 

Furthermore, the Exchange continues to 

invest in maintaining and enhancing its 

connectivity products—for the benefit 

and often at the behest of its customers 

and global investors. Such 

enhancements include refreshing all 

aspects of the technology ecosystem 

including software, hardware, and 

network while introducing new and 

innovative products and expanded and 

modernized facilities.15 The goal of the 

enhancements discussed above, among 

other things, is to provide faster, highercapacity, and more modern connectivity 

products and services. Accordingly, the 

Exchange continues to expend resources 

to innovate and modernize technology 

so that it may benefit its members in 

offering its connectivity products and 

services. 

The Proposed Fees Are Equitably 

Allocated and Not Unfairly 

Discriminatory 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed fee increases are equitably 

allocated and not unfairly 

discriminatory because they would 

apply to all market participants that 

choose to purchase connectivity 

products and services from the 

Exchange. Any participant that chooses 

to purchase the Exchange’s connectivity 

products and services would be subject 

to the same Fee Schedule, regardless of 

what type of business they operate or 

the use they plan to make use of the 

products and services. Additionally, the 

fee increase would be applied uniformly 

to market participants without regard to 

Exchange membership status or the 

extent of any other business with the 

Exchange or affiliated entities. The 

Exchange also believes that the proposal 

represents an equitable allocation of 

reasonable dues, fees and other charges 

because Exchange fees have fallen in 

real terms during the relevant period. 

Finally, the Exchange believes that the 

proposed fee changes are not unfairly 

discriminatory because the fees would 

be assessed uniformly across all market 

participants, in the same manner they 

are today, that voluntarily purchase the 

Exchange’s connectivity products and 

services, which would remain available 

for purchase by all market participants. 

These proposed fee increases will be 

immediately effective upon filing. 

However, going forward and until 

December 1, 2024, the Exchange will 

waive all fees set forth herein to the 

extent that such fees exceed the levels 

that would have been charged for the 

same products and services purchased 

during that time period, had such fees 

been calculated at the rates set forth in 

SR–PHLX–2024–45. This waiver is 

reasonable, equitable, and not unfairly 

discriminatory because it will afford all 

customers in excess of the 30-day prior

notice period for fee changes set forth in 

the Exchange’s service terms. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

The Exchange does not believe that 

the proposed fees will impose any 

burden on competition that is not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act. 

Intramarket Competition 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed fees do not put any market 

participants at a relative disadvantage 

compared to other market participants. 

As noted above, the fee schedule would 

continue to apply to all purchasers of 

the Exchange’s connectivity products 

and services in the same manner as it 

does today albeit at inflation-adjusted 

rates for certain fees, and customers may 

choose whether to purchase these 

products and services at all. The 

Exchange also believes that the level of 

the proposed fees neither favor nor 

penalize one or more categories of 

market participants in a manner that 

would impose an undue burden on 

competition. Likewise, the proposed fee 

waiver described above will apply to all 

purchasers of the Exchange’s 

connectivity products and services in 

the same manner and therefore will not 

burden competition among them. 

Intermarket Competition 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed fees do not impose a burden 

on competition or on other SROs that is 

not necessary or appropriate. In 

determining the proposed fees, the 

Exchange utilized an objective and 

stable metric with limited volatility. 

Utilizing Data PPI over a specified 

period of time is a reasonable means of 

recouping the Exchange’s investment in 

maintaining and enhancing its 

connectivity products, services, and 

facilities. The Exchange believes 

utilizing Data PPI, a tailored measure of 

inflation, to increase certain fees for 

connectivity products and services to 

recoup the Exchange’s investment in 

maintaining and enhancing such 

products, services, and its facilities 

would not impose a burden on 

competition.
