May 14, 2009. 

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

(‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on May 7, 

2009, NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc. (the 

‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule 

change as described in Items I, II, and 

III below, which Items have been 

prepared by the self-regulatory 

organization. The Exchange filed the

Section 19(b)(3)(A)(i) of the Act,3 and 

Rule 19b–4(f)(3) thereunder,4 which

6 In SR–BSE–2006–56, the Commission, among 

other things, approved the current Supplementary 

Material .03 to Chapter V, Section 18 of the BOX 

Rules. If Supplementary Material .03, previously 

approved in SR–BSE–2006–03, was reflected in the 

BOX Rules at the time when SR–BSE–2006–56 was 

ultimately approved, then current Supplementary 

Material .03 should have been included within 

Section 18 as Supplementary Material .04. See 

Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56186 (August 

2, 2007), 72 FR 44593 (August 8, 2007) (SR–BSE– 

2006–56). 

7The insertion of the clerical corrections to the 

Supplementary Material as .03 and renumbering of 

current Supplementary Material .03 as 

Supplementary Material .04 will not affect the 

meaning, interpretation or function of Chapter V, 

Section 18 of the BOX Rules or any other sections 

of the BOX Rules.

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 make 

clerical corrections to the rule text of 

Chapter V, Section 18 of the BOX Rules 

and the supplementary material thereto. 

These changes had been previously 

approved by the Commission.5

Subsequent to the Commission’s 

approval of the amendments to Chapter 

V, Section 18 of the BOX Rules and the 

supplementary material thereto, the 

Commission approved, further 

amendments to Chapter V, Section 18 of 

the BOX Rules and the supplementary 

material thereto.6 The later amendments 

are currently reflected in the BOX Rules. 

The Exchange proposes to make clerical 

corrections to Supplementary Material 

.03, as originally proposed, and 

renumber current Supplementary 

Material .03 as Supplementary Material 

.04.7

2. Basis 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposal is consistent with the 

requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act,8

in general, and Section 6(b)(5) of the 

Act,9 in particular, in that it is designed 

to promote just and equitable principles 

of trade, to foster cooperation and 

coordination with persons engaged in 

facilitating transactions in securities, to 

prevent fraudulent and manipulative 

acts, 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 

proposed rule change will allow the 

Exchange to properly reflect the 

appropriate approved text in the BOX 

Rules. 

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. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

The Exchange has neither solicited 

nor received comments on the proposed 

rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the 

Act 10 and Rule 19b–4(f)(3) 

thereunder,11 the Exchange has 

designated this proposal as one that is 

concerned solely with the 

administration of the self-regulatory 

organization. Accordingly, the Exchange 

believes that its proposal should become 

immediately effective. At any time 

within 60 days of the filing of the 

proposed rule change, the Commission 

may summarily abrogate the rule change 

if it appears to the Commission that the 

action is necessary or appropriate in the 

public interest, for the protection of 

investors, or would otherwise further 

the purposes of the Act.
