COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–101821; File No. SR– 

NASDAQ–2024–074] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The 

Nasdaq Stock Market LLC; Notice of 

Filing of Proposed Rule Change To 

Amend Equity 4, Rule 4759 Concerning 

Data Feeds Utilized 

December 5, 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 November 

25, 2024, 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 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 

The Exchange proposes to amend 

Equity 4, Rule 4759 (Data Feeds 

Utilized) to change the primary and 

secondary source of quotation data of 

certain market centers in the list of 

proprietary and network processor feeds 

that the Exchange utilizes for the 

handling, routing, and execution of 

orders as well as regulatory compliance 

processes related to those functions. 

The text of the proposed rule change 

is available on the Exchange’s website at 

https://listingcenter.nasdaq.com/ 

rulebook/nasdaq/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 Exchange proposes to update and 

amend the data feeds table in Equity 4, 

Rule 4759, which sets forth on a marketby-market basis the specific proprietary 

and network processor feeds that the 

Exchange utilizes for the handling, 

routing, and execution of orders, and for 

performing the regulatory compliance 

processes related to each of those 

functions. Specifically, the table would 

be amended to reflect that the Exchange 

will receive a direct feed from the LongTerm Stock Exchange (‘‘LTSE’’) as its 

primary quotation data source and CQS/ 

UQDF will become its secondary data 

source for the handling, routing and 

execution of orders and for performing 

regulatory compliance processes related 

to each of those functions. The change 

to the primary sources reflects the 

Exchange’s effort to include an 

additional source and the use of 

secondary sources in the event the 

primary source is unable to provide 

data. 

The operative date of the proposed 

rule change shall be November 25, 2024. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes that its 

proposal is consistent with Section 6(b) 

of the Act,3 in general, and furthers the 

objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,4

in particular, in that it is designed to 

promote just and equitable principles of 

trade, 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. 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed rule change removes 

impediments to and perfects the 

mechanism of a free and open market 

because updating its data feeds table of 

market centers for which the exchange 

consumes quotation data through a 

direct feed will provide clarity to market 

participants. Additionally, it is 

necessary and consistent with the 

public interest and the protection of 

investors to update the Exchange’s table 

of market centers in Equity 4, Rule 4759 

in order to provide transparency with 

respect to all the direct proprietary and 

network processor feeds from which the 

Exchange obtains market data. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

The Exchange does not believe that 

the proposed rule change will impose 

any burden on competition not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act. The 

proposed rule change is not designed to 

address any competitive issue; instead, 

its purpose is to enhance transparency 

with respect to the operation of the 

Exchange and its use of market data 

feeds. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

No written comments were either 

solicited or received. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

The Exchange has filed the proposed 

rule change pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 5 and Rule 

19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.6 Because the 

proposed rule change does not: (i) 

significantly affect the protection of 

investors or the public interest; (ii) 

impose any significant burden on 

competition; and (iii) become operative 

for 30 days from the date on which it 

was filed, or such shorter time as the 

Commission may designate, if 

consistent with the protection of

8 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6)(iii) requires the Exchange to give the 

Commission written notice of the Exchange’s intent 

to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief 

description and text of the proposed rule change, 

at least five business days prior to the date of filing 

of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time 

as designated by the Commission. The Exchange 

has satisfied this requirement. 

9 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 

10 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). 

11For purposes only of waiving the 30-day 

operative delay, the Commission has considered the 

proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, 

and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 12 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12), (59).

investors and the public interest, the 

proposed rule change has become 

effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 

of the Act 7 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 

thereunder.8

A proposed rule change filed under 

Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 9 normally does not 

become operative prior to 30 days after 

the date of the filing. However, pursuant 

to Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii),10 the 

Commission may designate a shorter 

time if such action is consistent with the 

protection of investors and the public 

interest. The Exchange has asked the 

Commission to waive the 30-day 

operative delay so that the proposed 

rule change may become operative 

immediately. The Commission believes 

that waiving the 30-day operative delay 

is consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest 

because the proposal does not raise any 

novel regulatory issues and waiver will 

allow the Exchange to begin receiving 

and using a direct feed from LTSE as 

soon as possible. For this reason, the 

Commission hereby waives the 30-day 

operative delay and designates the 

proposal operative upon filing.11

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. If the 

Commission takes such action, the 

Commission shall institute proceedings 

to determine whether the proposed rule 

should be approved or disapproved. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.
