purposes of the Act.
IV. Solicitation of Comments
Interested persons are invited to
submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing,
including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. In
addition, the Commission seeks
comment generally on whether the
proposed assessment of transaction fees
is consistent with the Act, in particular
whether the proposal provides for an
equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees, and other charges among its
members and issuers and other persons
using its facilities under Section 6(b)(4)
of the Act or whether the proposal
permits unfair discrimination between
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers
under Section 6(b)(5) of the Act.
Specifically:
1. The Exchange has determined that
the previous $0.20 rebate for a Customer
account for removing liquidity resulted
in disproportionate payment for
Customer orders relative to order
volume growth. Do commenters believe
that eliminating the rebate to Customers
removing liquidity in non-Penny Pilot
options when that Customer trades
against a Customer order, while
retaining the rebate to Customers that
trade against a Firm or Market Maker
order is consistent with the Act,
including whether it is an equitable
allocation of fees under Section 6(b)(4)
and not unfairly discriminatory under
Section 6(b)(5)? Why or why not?
2. The Commission notes that the fee
schedules of some options exchanges
provide for different levels of
transaction fees for different categories
of market participants. Generally, if
there is a distinction between
transaction fees for market makers and
other non-customers (e.g. brokerdealers, firms), the market maker
transaction fee is less than the noncustomer fee. However, the Exchange
notes that one exchange charges away
market makers more than non-customer
orders.13 The Exchange proposes to
charge Market Makers $0.45 per contract
to remove orders in non-Penny Pilot
options and to charge Firms $0.20 per
contract to remove such orders. Is this
fee differential consistent with the Act,
including whether it is an equitable
allocation of fees under Section 6(b)(4)
and not unfairly discriminatory under
Section 6(b)(5)? Why or why not?
3. In non-Penny Pilot options, the
Exchange proposes to lower the fees
charged to firms that remove liquidity
13 See
supra note 10 and accompanying text.
VerDate Nov<24>2008
19:02 Jul 24, 2009
Jkt 217001
from $0.45 to $0.20. The Exchange,
however, maintains the fee of $0.45 for
sending orders via the Options
Intermarket Linkage that execute on
NOM. Is creating a differential in this
manner consistent with the Act,
including whether it is an equitable
allocation of fees under Section 6(b)(4)
and not unfairly discriminatory under
Section 6(b)(5)? Why or why not?

Commission that such action is
necessary or appropriate in the public
interest, for the protection of investors,
or the maintenance of fair and orderly
markets, to remove impediments to, and
perfect the mechanisms of, a national
market system or otherwise in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
The Commission is publishing this
notice to solicit comments from
interested persons on the proposed
Twelfth Charges Amendment to the
CTA Plan.
I. Rule 608(a)
A. Description and Purpose of the
Amendment
Schedule A–1 of Exhibit E to the CTA
Plan sets forth the fees applicable to
CTA Network A market data display
services. The amendment proposes to
delete from that schedule the monthly
$30 nonprofessional subscriber ticker
display charge. That charge applied to a
nonprofessional subscriber’s receipt of a
Network A ticker feed from a ticker
network that Network A formerly
maintained. Network A phased out that
ticker network a number of years ago,
but the Participants did not delete the
charge from the fee schedule once they
completed the phaseout. The Network A
Participants have not imposed the
nonprofessional subscriber ticker fee
since then.
The text of the proposed Amendment
is available on the CTA’s Web site
(https://www.nysedata.com/cta), at the
principal office of the CTA, and at the
Commission’s Public Reference Room.
B. Additional Information Required by
Rule 608(a)

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission, the
Exchange 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. The
Exchange 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
The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc.
(‘‘NASDAQ OMX’’) acquired the
Exchange in August 2008. Prior to the
acquisition, the Exchange owned a
21.87% interest in Boston Options
Exchange Group, LLC (‘‘BOX LLC’’), the
operator of BOX, a facility of the
Exchange. Boston Options Exchange
Regulation, LLC (‘‘BOXR’’) is a whollyowned subsidiary of the Exchange, to
which the Exchange has delegated,
pursuant to a delegation plan, certain
self-regulatory responsibilities related to
BOX.
At the closing of the acquisition by
NASDAQ OMX, the Exchange
transferred its interest in BOX LLC to
MX US, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Montreal Exchange Inc. Although
the Exchange no longer holds an
ownership interest in BOX LLC, it
continues to hold self-regulatory
obligations with respect to BOX. The
Exchange, together with BOXR, retains
regulatory control over BOX and the
Exchange, as the SRO, remains
responsible for ensuring compliance
with the federal securities laws and all
applicable rules and regulations.
NASDAQ OMX also currently
indirectly owns NASDAQ Options
Services, LLC (‘‘NOS’’), a registered
broker-dealer and a BOX market
participant. Thus, NOS is deemed an
affiliate of the Exchange, BOX and
BOXR.
The Exchange is proposing that NOS
be permitted to route certain orders
from The NASDAQ Option Market
(‘‘NOM’’) to BOX without checking the
NOM book prior to routing. NOM is an
options market operated by The
NASDAQ Stock Market (the ‘‘NASDAQ
Exchange’’) and NOS is the approved
outbound routing facility of the
NASDAQ Exchange for NOM. With the
PO 00000
Frm 00075
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
37071
exception of Exchange Direct Orders, all
routable orders for options that are
trading on NOM check the NOM book
prior to routing. In addition, NOS also
routes orders in options that are not
trading on NOM (referred to in the NOM
Rules as ‘‘Non-System Securities’’).
When routing orders in options that are
not listed and open for trading on NOM,
NOS is not regulated as a facility of the
NASDAQ Exchange but rather as a
broker-dealer regulated by its designated
examining authority. As provided by
Chapter IV, Section 5 of the NOM Rules,
all orders routed by NOS under these
circumstances are routed to away
markets that are at the best price, and
solely on an immediate-or-cancel basis.
Under NOM Rule Chapter VI, Section
11: (1) NOM routes orders in options via
NOS, which serves as the sole ‘‘routing
facility’’ of NOM; (2) the sole function
of the routing facility is to route orders
in options to away markets pursuant to
NOM rules, solely on behalf of NOM; (3)
NOS is a member of an unaffiliated selfregulatory organization, which is the
designated examining authority for the
broker-dealer; (4) the routing facility is
subject to regulation as a facility of the
NASDAQ Exchange, including the
requirement to file proposed rule
changes under Section 19 of the Act; (5)
NOM must establish and maintain
procedures and internal controls
reasonably designed to adequately
restrict the flow of confidential and
proprietary information between the
NASDAQ Exchange and its facilities
(including the routing facility), and any
other entity; and (6) the books, records,
premises, officers, directors, agents, and
employees of the routing facility, as a
facility of the NASDAQ Exchange, shall
be deemed to be the books, records,
premises, officers, directors, agents, and
employees of the NASDAQ Exchange
for purposes of and subject to oversight
pursuant to the Act, and the books and
records of the routing facility, as a
facility of the NASDAQ Exchange, shall
be subject at all times to inspection and
copying by the NASDAQ Exchange and
the Commission.
The Commission has approved NOS’s
affiliation with the Exchange subject to
the conditions that: (1) NOS is a facility
of the NASDAQ Exchange; (2) use of
NOS’s routing function by NASDAQ
Exchange members is optional 4 and (3)
4 Because only NASDAQ Exchange members who
are Options Participants may enter orders into
NOM, it also follows that routing by NOS is
available only to NASDAQ Exchange members who
are Options Participants. Pursuant to Chapter I,
Section 1(a)(40) of the NOM Rules, the term
‘‘Options Participant’’ means a firm, or organization
that is registered with the NASDAQ Exchange for
