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 12 and Rule 19b–
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.13
At any time within 60 days of the
filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission may summarily abrogate
such rule change if it appears to the
Commission that such action is
necessary or appropriate in the public
interest, for the protection of investors,
or otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act.
Normally, a proposed rule change
filed under 19b–4(f)(6) may not become
operative prior to 30 days after the date
of filing. However, Rule 19b–
4(f)(6)(iii) 14 permits the Commission to
designate a shorter time if such action
is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest.
Nasdaq has requested that the
Commission waive the 30-day operative
delay. In its filing, Nasdaq requested the
waiver in order to provide immediate
clarity to its rules and to eliminate any
disparity between its rules and those of
other exchanges with similar
exemptions that have been previously
approved by the Commission.
The Commission believes that waiver
of the 30-day operative period is
consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. The
proposed rule change will clarify an
ambiguity in Nasdaq’s rules, which
should benefit investors, Nasdaq
members, and regulators. In addition,
the Commission notes that, as Nasdaq
has pointed out, the changes proposed
in this filing would conform certain of
Nasdaq’s corporate governance
standards to those of other exchanges.15
Accordingly, the Commission
designates the proposal to be operative
upon filing with the Commission.16
IV. Solicitation of Comments
Interested persons are invited to
submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing,
including whether the proposed rule
12 15
U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). In addition, Rule
19b–4(f)(6)(iii) requires that a self-regulatory
organization 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 Commission notes that Nasdaq
satisfied the five-day pre-filing notice requirement.
14 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii).
15 See supra, note 9.
16 For the purposes only of waiving the 30-day
operative delay, the Commission has considered the
proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
