6 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).

7 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(8). 8 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii). 9 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 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.
