The Commission is publishing this

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
The purpose of this proposed rule
change is to extend a Linkage Fee Pilot
Program that is currently in place
through July 31, 2009. The proposal will
enable the pilot to remain effective
through July 31, 2010. The proposed
rule change makes no substantive
changes to the pilot currently in place.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act 3, in general, and with
Section 6(b)(4) 4 of the Act in particular,
in that it is designed to provide for the
equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees, and other charges among members
and other persons using its facilities.
The proposed rule change will continue
the current pilot program on the same
terms currently in place.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The NASDAQ Exchange does not
believe that the proposed rule change
will result in any burden on
competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Because the foregoing proposed rule
change: (i) Does not significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) does not impose any
significant burden on competition; and
(iii) by its terms, does not become
operative for 30 days from the date on
which it was filed, or such shorter time
as the Commission may designate, if
consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, it has
become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 5 and Rule 19b–
4(f)(6) thereunder.6

4(f)(6)(iii) requires the self-regulatory organization
to submit to the Commission written notice of its
intent to file the proposed rule change, along with
a brief description and text of the proposed rule
change, at least five business days prior to the date
of filing of the proposed rule change, or such
shorter time as designated by the Commission. The
Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
