[Release No. 34–58098; File No. SR–

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Notice 

of Designation of Longer Period for 

Commission Action on Proposed Rule 

Change Filed by The NASDAQ Stock 

Market LLC 

July 3, 2008. 

On April 21, 2008, The NASDAQ 

Stock Market LLC (‘‘Nasdaq’’) filed with 

the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant 

to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’),1 and 

Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2 a proposed rule 

change to amend the by-laws 

(‘‘NASDAQ OMX By-Laws’’) of its 

parent corporation, NASDAQ OMX. The 

NASDAQ OMX By-Law Proposal was 

published for comment in the Federal 

Register on May 8, 2008.3 On June 10, 

2008, Nasdaq filed an extension of time 

for Commission action extending the 

action date until July 3, 2008. 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 4 provides 

that within thirty-five days of the 

publication of notice of the filing of a 

proposed rule change, or within such 

longer period as the Commission may 

designate up to ninety days of such date 

if it finds such longer period to be 

appropriate and publishes its reasons 

for so finding the Commission shall 

either approve the proposed rule change 

or institute proceedings to determine 

whether the proposed rule change 

should be disapproved. 

The Commission finds it appropriate 

to designate a longer period within 

which to take action on the proposed 

rule change so that it has sufficient time 

to consider the proposal, which relates 

to the acquisition of the Boston Stock 

Exchange, Inc. and the Boston Stock 

Exchange Clearing Corporation by 

NASDAQ OMX. 

Accordingly, the Commission, 

pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,5

designates August 6, 2008, as the date 

by which the Commission should either 

approve or institute proceedings to 

determine whether to disapprove the 

proposed rule change. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.6

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[File No. 500–1] 

In the Matter of: VMT Scientific, Inc.; 

Order of Suspension of Trading 

July 8, 2008. 

It appears to the Securities and 

Exchange Commission that there is a 

lack of current and accurate information 

concerning the securities of VMT 

Scientific, Inc. (‘‘VMT Scientific’’) 

because of questions regarding the 

accuracy of assertions in press releases 

concerning, among other things: (1) The 

legal status of VMT Scientific; (2) VMT 

Scientific’s business combinations; (3) 

VMT Scientific’s current financial 

condition; and (4) VMT Scientific’s 

assets. 

The Commission is of the opinion that 

the public interest and the protection of 

investors require a suspension of trading 

in the securities of the above-listed 

company. 

Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to 

section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange 

Act of 1934, that trading in the above 

listed company is suspended for the 

period from 9:30 a.m. EDT, July 8, 2008 

through 11:59 p.m. EDT, on July 21, 

2008.
