Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change In its filing with the Commission, Nasdaq 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. Nasdaq 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 Nasdaq proposes to establish a new service, the Nasdaq Options Maintenance Tool (‘‘OMT’’), and establish related fees. The OMT is a new web-based options back-office tool that gives users the ability to query trades, correct trades and/or allocate trades to the appropriate accounts and sub3 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 5 Changes are marked to the rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC found at https:// nasdaqomx.cchwallstreet.com. 4 17 PO 00000 Frm 00061 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 accounts for clearing. The Options Clearing Corporation (‘‘OCC’’) requires firms to provide certain information when submitting a trade for clearing. Currently, other options exchanges make available to firms a tool with which they can correct trade clearing information that is submitted to the OCC.6 Certain firms have requested that Nasdaq provide a similar tool so that they may correct their trade-related clearing information. In response, Nasdaq has developed the OMT, which will allow users to correct certain OCCrequired trade information. Specifically, the OMT will allow a firm to correct a trade’s account number or designate a sub-account number, correct a trade’s designation as opening or closing, and change the Clearing Member Trade Assignment clearing firm. The OMT will also allow firms to correct a trade’s OCC designation as Customer, Firm, or Market Maker. Nasdaq proposes to offer the OMT at no cost through October 31, 2008, after which Nasdaq proposes to charge a subscription fee of $200 per month, per user. Nasdaq believes the subscription fee fairly reflects the value of this product. Use of the OMT is voluntary and the subscription fee will be imposed on all purchasers equally based on the number of users selected. The proposed fee will cover the costs associated with establishing the service, responding to customer requests, configuring Nasdaq’s systems, programming to user specifications, and administering the service, among other things. The OMT is responsive to the requests of market participants, some of whom have determined that they could not participate on the Nasdaq Options Platform until they had this functionality was [sic] available. 2. Statutory Basis Nasdaq believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,7 in general, and with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,8 in particular, because it is designed to prevent fraudulent and 6 See e.g., the International Securities Exchange PrecISE, and the Boston Options Exchange Back Office Trade Management Software.Certain firms have requested that Nasdaq provide a similar tool so that they may correct their trade-related clearing information. In response, Nasdaq has developed the OMT, which will allow users to correct certain OCC-required trade information. Specifically, the OMT will allow a firm to correct a trade’s account number or designate a sub-account number, correct a trade’s designation as opening or closing, and change the Clearing Member Trade Assignment clearing firm. The OMT will also allow firms to correct a trade’s OCC designation as Customer, Firm, or Market Maker. 7 15 U.S.C. 78f. 8 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). E:\FR\FM\28OCN1.SGM 28OCN1
