less than the standard fee for accessing 

liquidity. 

The Exchange believes that removing 

NASDAQ Rule 7018(g), the subsection 

concerning pricing for the Program, is 

reasonable because the Program is a 

pilot that is not being renewed so the 

related pricing is made moot. The 

Exchange also believes that this change 

is consistent with an equitable 

allocation of a reasonable fee and not 

unfairly discriminatory because the 

ending of the pilot for this Program and 

associated pricing applies uniformly 

across all Exchange members. 

The Exchange also believes that the 

proposed rule change clarifications to 

DOT or LIST orders in two places in 

each of NASDAQ Rule 7018(a)(2) and 

NASDAQ Rule 7018(a)(3) is consistent 

with the provisions of Section 6 of the 

Act,5 in general, and with Sections 

6(b)(5) of the Act 6 in particular, in that 

it is designed 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. 

Specifically, this is achieved through 

clarifications to the language regarding 

DOT or LIST orders that will now 

explicitly refer to a charge and thereby 

promote market participants’ improved 

understanding of the rule. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

NASDAQ does not believe that the 

proposed rule changes will result in any 

burden on competition that is not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act, as amended.7

NASDAQ notes that it operates in a 

highly competitive market in which 

market participants can readily favor 

competing venues if they deem fee 

levels at a particular venue to be 

excessive, or rebate opportunities 

available at other venues to be more 

favorable. In such an environment, 

NASDAQ must continually adjust its 

fees to remain competitive with other 

exchanges and with alternative trading 

systems that have been exempted from 

compliance with the statutory standards 

applicable to exchanges. Because 

competitors are free to modify their own 

fees in response, and because market 

participants may readily adjust their 

order routing practices, NASDAQ 

believes that the degree to which fee 

changes in this market may impose any 

burden on competition is extremely 

limited. 

In this instance, the changes to 

routing fees do not impose a burden on 

competition because NASDAQ’s routing 

services are optional and are the subject 

of competition from other exchanges 

and broker-dealers that offer routing 

services, as well as the ability of 

members to develop their own routing 

capabilities. The increased fees for DOT 

or LIST orders that execute in the NYSE 

closing, opening or reopening processes 

are reflective of the Exchange’s need to 

recover the costs it incurs to route such 

orders to NYSE. In sum, if the changes 

proposed herein are unattractive to 

market participants, it is likely that 

NASDAQ will lose market share or 

routable order flow as a result. 

Additionally, the modestly increased 

fees for execution in the NASDAQ 

crosses are reflective of a need to 

support and improve NASDAQ systems, 

which in turn benefit market quality, 

and ultimately, competition. 

Accordingly, NASDAQ does not 

believe that the proposed changes will 

impair the ability of members or 

competing order execution venues to 

maintain their competitive standing in 

the financial markets. 

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 

The foregoing change has become 

effective pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act.8 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 

necessary or appropriate in the public 

interest, for the protection of investors, 

or otherwise in furtherance of the 

purposes of the Act.

change is consistent with the Act.
