In connection with securities offerings generally, including initial public offerings (IPOs), the rule requires broker-dealers to take reasonable steps to distribute copies of the preliminary or final prospectus to anyone who makes a written request, as well as any broker-dealer who is expected to solicit purchases of the security and who makes a request. In connection with IPOs, the rule requires a broker-dealer to send a copy of the preliminary prospectus to any person who is expected to receive a confirmation of sale (generally, this means any person who is expected actually to purchase the security in the offering) at least 48 hours prior to the sending of such confirmation. This requirement is sometimes referred to as the ‘‘48 hour rule.’’ Additionally, managing underwriters are required to take reasonable steps to ensure that all broker-dealers participating in the distribution of or trading in the security have sufficient copies of the preliminary or final prospectus, as requested by them, to enable such broker-dealer to satisfy their respective prospectus delivery obligations pursuant to Rule 15c2–8, as well as Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933.

Description of the Proposal Trades in listed securities occasionally occur at prices that deviate from prevailing market prices and those trades sometimes establish a high, low or last sale price for a security that does not reflect the true market for the security. Nasdaq seeks to address such instances of ‘‘aberrant’’ trades by adopting a policy that is substantially similar to a policy of the New York Stock Exchange (‘‘NYSE’’).4 On December 19, 2008, Nasdaq also filed a proposed rule change, which it designated as eligible for immediate effectiveness pursuant to Rule 19b– 4(f)(6) under the Act,5 to adopt a policy relating to Nasdaq’s treatment of trade reports that it determines to be inconsistent with the prevailing market.6 The policy proposed in the instant rule change is identical to the policy set forth in Release No. 34– 59151, except that the instant proposal is retroactive to September 1, 2008. The Exchange proposes that its policy in this regard shall be to contact the listing exchange (if Nasdaq is not the listing exchange) and other markets (in the case of executions that take place across multiple markets) to determine if any erroneous trade reports were filed. If Nasdaq determines the trade price of a trade through Nasdaq is inconsistent with the prevailing market for the security after considering the factors outlined herein, the Exchange may make the determination to append an indicator (an ‘‘Aberrant Report Indicator’’) to the trade. 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

 Rule 15c2-8 (17 CFR 240.15c2-8)--Delivery of Prospectus

    Rule 15c2-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange 
Act'') requires broker-dealers to deliver preliminary and/or final 
prospectuses to certain people under certain circumstances. In 
connection with securities offerings generally, including initial 
public offerings (IPOs), the rule requires broker-dealers to take 
reasonable steps to distribute copies of the preliminary or final 
prospectus to anyone who makes a written request, as well as any 
broker-dealer who is expected to solicit purchases of the security and 
who makes a request. In connection with IPOs, the rule requires a 
broker-dealer to send a copy of the preliminary prospectus to any 
person who is expected to receive a confirmation of sale (generally, 
this means any person who is expected actually to purchase the security 
in the offering) at least 48 hours prior to the sending of such 
confirmation. This requirement is sometimes referred to as the ``48 
hour rule.''
    Additionally, managing underwriters are required to take reasonable 
steps to ensure that all broker-dealers participating in the 
distribution of or trading in the security have sufficient copies of 
the preliminary or final prospectus, as requested by them, to enable 
such broker-dealer to satisfy their respective prospectus delivery 
obligations pursuant to Rule 15c2-8, as well as Section 5 of the 
Securities Act of 1933.
    Rule 15c2-8 implicitly requires that broker-dealers collect 
information, as such collection facilitates compliance with the rule. 
There is no requirement to submit information collected to the 
Commission. In order to comply with

the rule, broker-dealers participating in a securities offering must 
keep accurate records of persons who have indicated interest in an IPO 
or requested a prospectus, so that they know to whom they must send a 
prospectus.
    The Commission estimates that broker-dealers will spend a total of 
78,800 hours complying with the collection of information required by 
the rule. The Commission estimates that the total number of responses 
required by the rule is 7,764. The Commission estimates that the total 
annualized cost burden (copying and postage costs) is $157,600,000.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information 
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's 
estimates of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents, including through the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology. 
Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted in
