<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 63 / Tuesday, April 1, 2008 / Notices
under Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii),10 Nasdaq
provided the Commission with written
notice of its intention to file the
proposed rule change, along with a brief
description and the text of the proposed
rule change, at least five business days
prior to filing the proposal with the
Commission. Therefore, the foregoing
rule change has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the
Act 11 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6)
thereunder.12
Pursuant to Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) under
the Act, a proposal does not become
operative for 30 days after the date of its
filing, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate if consistent
with the protection of investors and the
public interest. Nasdaq has asked the
Commission to waive the 30-day
operative delay to allow the proposal to
be operative on March 31, 2008, the day
Nasdaq plans to launch NOM. Nasdaq
states that it has carefully planned a
detailed and thorough testing and rollout schedule for the NOM market, and
has coordinated this schedule with
numerous industry participants. Nasdaq
believes that disrupting this schedule
for the proposed modifications would
cause disproportionate inconvenience
and delay the launch of a process that
will benefit investors. The Commission
notes that waiving the 30-day operative
delay will allow Nasdaq to launch NOM
pursuant to its planned schedule.
Further, the proposal will clarify NOM’s
rules, correct technical errors, and
provide greater consistency between
NOM’s opening and closing procedures
and the opening and closing procedures
Nasdaq uses in its equity market. For
these reasons, the Commission believes
that waiving the 30-day operative delay
is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest and
therefore designates that the proposal
become operative immediately.
At any time within 60 days of the
filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission may summarily abrogate
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.
