2.0 data (or both), would continue to
pay TotalView rates at the TotalView fee
schedule. For those firms this in this
category who had previously provided
only the INET ITCH 1.0 and/or INET
ITCH 2.0 data to certain customers, and
who are able to separately identify these
users from those users as receiving
TotalView data via the INET ITCH 1.0
and/or INET ITCH 2.0 data feed, these
users also would be afforded the same
period (until February 1, 2007) to begin
their TotalView fee liability.
2. Statutory Basis
Nasdaq believes that the proposed
rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 6 of the Act 18 in
general, and Section 6(b)(4) of the Act 19
in particular, in that it provides an
equitable allocation of reasonable fees
among users and recipients of the data,
and it makes TotalView data available
on a non-discriminatory basis to
similarly situated recipients.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
Nasdaq 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 a general
matter, the Commission has long held
the view that ‘‘competition and
innovation are essential to the health of
the securities markets. Indeed,
competition is one of the hallmarks of
the national market system.’’ 20 The
Commission has also stated ‘‘that the
notion of competition is inextricably
tied with the notion of economic
efficiency, and the Act seeks to
encourage market behavior that
promotes such efficiency, lower costs,
and better service in the interest of
investors and the general public.’’ 21
The Commission goes on to state its
belief ‘‘that the appropriate analysis to
determine a proposal’s competitive
impact is to weigh the proposal’s overall
benefits and costs to competition based
on the particular facts involved, such as
examining whether the proposal would
promote economically efficient
execution of securities and fair
competition between and among
exchange markets and other market
centers, as well as fair competition
between the participants of a particular
market.’’ 22 The current proposal is
designed to increase transparency and

the efficiency of executions by enabling
vendors to provide additional market
data in a cost efficient manner.
There is significant competition for
the provision of market data to brokerdealers and other market data
consumers, as well as competition for
the orders that generate the data. Nasdaq
fully expects its competitors to quickly
respond to this proposal as they have
responded to other Nasdaq data
products in the past. Moreover, market
forces have shaped the market data fees
that Nasdaq has charged for this product
in the past and will continue to shape
those fees in the future. As noted above,
the Commission originally approved a
fee of $150 for TotalView. Nasdaq
lowered that fee to $70 and $14 in
response to the lack of demand by
vendors and users. Furthermore,
NASDAQ introduced both professional
and non-professional Enterprise License
pricing to accommodate firms interest in
paying a fixed fee for unlimited
distribution of TotalView data. Vendors
simply will only utilize the service
unless and until they conclude that it is
economically beneficial to them and to
their users.
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
Within 35 days of the date of
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 Nasdaq consents, the
Commission will:
(A) By order approve such proposed
rule change; or
(B) Institute proceedings to determine
whether the proposed rule change
should be 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.
Comments may be submitted by any of

Section
8(a)(17) of the Small Business Act (Act),
15 U.S.C. 637(a)(17), requires that
recipients of Federal contracts set aside
for small businesses, service-disabled
veteran-owned small businesses, or
SBA’s 8(a) Business Development
Program provide the product of a small
business manufacturer or processor, if
the recipient is other than the actual
manufacturer or processor of the
product. This requirement is commonly
referred to as the Nonmanufacturer
Rule. The SBA regulations imposing
this requirement are found at 13 CFR
121.406(b). Section 8(a)(17)(b)(iv) of the
Act authorizes SBA to waive the
Nonmanufacturer Rule for any ‘‘class of
products’’ for which there are no small
business manufacturers or processors
available to participate in the Federal
market.
As implemented in SBA’s regulations
at 13 CFR 121.1202(c), in order to be
considered available to participate in
the Federal market for a class of
products, a small business manufacturer
must have submitted a proposal for a
contract solicitation or received a
contract from the Federal Government
within the last 24 months. The SBA
defines ‘‘class of products’’ based on six
digit coding system. The coding system
is the Office of Management and Budget
North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS).
The SBA is currently processing a
request to waive the Nonmanufacturer
Rule for Re-refining Used Petroleum
Lubricating Oils (MIL–PRF–2104, Type
10W; Type 15W40; Type 30W; and Type
40W). North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) code
324191.

provide source information to SBA on
the proposed waivers of the
Nonmanufacturer Rule for this class of
