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 on the proposed
rule change 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)
of the Act 9 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6)
thereunder 10 because it does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of
investors or the public interest; (ii)
impose any significant burden on
competition; and (iii) become operative
for 30 days after the date of the filing,
or such shorter time as the Commission
may designate.
A proposed rule change filed under
Rule 19b–4(f)(6) may not become
operative prior to 30 days after the date
of filing unless the Commission
designates a shorter time if such action
is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest.11
Nasdaq has requested that the
Commission waive the 30-day operative
delay, which would make the rule
change operative immediately upon
filing with the Commission. The
Commission believes waiving the 30day operative date is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public
interest because the proposed rule
change provides greater transparency to
issuers and investors and may reduce
the likelihood of untimely notification
of dividend declarations.12 For these
reasons, the Commission designates the
proposal to be effective and operative
upon filing with the Commission.
At any time within 60 days of the
filing of a rule change pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act,13 the
Commission may summarily abrogate
9 15
U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6).
11 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b–
4(f)(6)(iii) requires that a self-regulatory
organization submit to the Commission written
notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change,
along with a brief description and text of the
proposed rule change, at least five business days
prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the
Commission. The Commission notes that Nasdaq
has satisfied the five-day pre-filing notice
requirement.
12 For purposes only of waiving the 30-day preoperative period, the Commission has considered
the impact of the proposed rule change on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15
U.S.C. 78c(f).
13 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).

the 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.

submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing,
including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act.
