          - [Release No. 34-63158; File No. SR-Phlx-2010-144]

                    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 October 14, 2010, NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC (“Phlx” or “Exchange”) filed with the                           ( print page 66177)                        Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been substantially 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 the Substance of the Proposed Rule Change

                    The Exchange is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) a proposed rule change to codify pricing for co-location services. The text of the proposed rule change is available at                     *http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/​micro.aspx?​id=​PHLXRulefilings*, at the Exchange's principal office, on the Commission's Web site at                     *http://www.sec.gov*, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room. The Exchange will implement the proposed rule change immediately.                

## 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

                    Recently, the Commission approved an initial fee schedule of existing fees for the Exchange's co-location services.[3]                                          This filing seeks to codify additional fees not included in that schedule. These fees are: (1) A one-time $3,000 fee for users selecting a Phase 3 2x 20 208 volt cabinet power option; (2) a one-time $200 per shelf fee for additional cabinet shelves within a power cabinet; (3) a one-time $175 fee per lock for single master key locks that allow customers to use a single key to access their secured equipment; and (4) a one-time per spout fee of $750 for cable downspouts that gather and secure cables entering customer equipment. All the foregoing products are provided only upon customer request, and the Exchange notes that use of its co-location products and services is completely voluntary and all are offered on a non-discriminatory basis.                

#### 2. Statutory Basis

                    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,[4]                                          in general, and with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,[5]                                          in particular, in that the proposal is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitating transactions in securities, 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. In particular, the filing codifies and makes transparent uniform fees imposed for co-location services.                

                    In addition, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,[6]                                          in general, and with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,[7]                                          in particular, in that it provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among members and issuers and other persons using any facility or system which The Exchange operates or controls. In particular, the Exchange notes that the use of co-location services is entirely voluntary and made available on a non-discriminatory basis.                

###                     B.                     *Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition*

The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended.

###                     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 rule 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. If the Commission takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.
