Argentum Capital Partners, LP; Notice Seeking Exemption Under Section 312 of the Small Business Investment Act, Conflicts of Interest, 12170 [E9-6189]

Download as PDF 12170 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 54 / Monday, March 23, 2009 / Notices under Section 6 of the Act, and to findings under Rule 603.20 As noted above, use of the Service is voluntary, and the fee for the Service will be imposed equally on all purchasers. In addition, vendors and other exchanges currently make daily broker volume reports available. For example, the New York Stock Exchange LLC (‘‘NYSE’’) provides a broker volume report in a database format on a T+1 basis, which compiles the trading volume of member firms based on trades reported to NYSE.21 The cost of receiving the Service is comparable to the cost for receiving the NYSE broker volume report.22 In formulating the terms of the Service, Nasdaq was thus subject to significant competitive forces— specifically, the availability to market participants of alternatives to purchasing the Service. Because the proposed Service here involves the distribution of non-core market data, and significant competitive forces are present, the Service is thus consistent with both Section 6(b)(4) 23 and Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,24 and with Rule 603(a).25 There is not a substantial countervailing basis that would render the proposal inconsistent with the Act or the rules thereunder. It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,26 that the proposed rule change (SR–NASDAQ– 2007–006), as modified by Amendment No. 1 be, and it hereby is, approved. For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.27 Florence E. Harmon, Deputy Secretary. [FR Doc.
