18 15 U.S.C. 78o–3(b)(6). 19 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12).

15A(b)(6) of the Act,18 in particular, in 

that it is designed to prevent fraudulent 

and manipulative acts and practices, to 

promote just and equitable principles of 

trade, remove impediments to a free and 

open market and a national market 

system, and, in general, to protect 

investors and the public interest. 

Nasdaq represents that the proposed 

rule change, as amended, is designed to 

increase the quality and timeliness of 

disclosure available to investors by 

OTCBB issuers and to prevent the 

securities of issuers that repeatedly fail 

to timely comply with their obligations 

under the securities laws from being 

quoted on the OTCBB.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

Nasdaq does not believe that the 

proposed rule change, as amended, will 

result in any burden on competition that 

is not necessary or appropriate in 

furtherance of the purposes of the Act. 

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 by Nasdaq. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register or within such longer period (i) 

as the Commission may designate up to 

90 days of such date if it finds such 

longer period to be appropriate and 

publishes its reasons for so finding or 

(ii) as to which the self-regulatory 

organization consents, the Commission 

will: 

(A) by order approve such proposed 

rule change, as amended, or 

(B) institute proceedings to determine 

whether the proposed rule change, as 

amended, should be disapproved. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments
