Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 132 / Monday, July 12, 2010 / Notices
routing platform should streamline the
processing and settlement of fund
transactions by allowing access to
NSCC’s services through a single
interface in a seamless automated
manner.
Each TPP Member’s customer
transacting business with an NSCC fund
member will be required to enter into a
selling group agreement with such fund.
Further, because the TPP Member will
be a non-settling member with access to
Fund/SERV and NSCC’s other mutual
fund services, the TPP Member must
have an NSCC full service member
(‘‘settling member’’) to settle transactions
on behalf of the TPP Member’s
customers. The settling member will
receive notice of the settlement
obligation for each TPP customer. Each
TPP Member’s customer will be
required to maintain an account
relationship with its settling member for
the purpose of settling the transactions.
Consequently, each TPP Member’s
customer will be subject to its settling
member’s customer identification
program, due diligence, and where
appropriate enhanced due diligence
requirements. Because the settling
member must be an NSCC full service
member, it will be subject to NSCC’s
standards of membership as if it were to
be settling its own transactions in
mutual fund services at NSCC.
NSCC believes that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the
requirements of Section 17A of the Act 7
and the rules and regulations
thereunder that are applicable to NSCC
because the proposed rule should
streamline the processing and
settlement of mutual fund transactions
by allowing greater access to its services
through a single interface in a seamless
automated manner, which should
increase efficiencies related to the
clearing and settling of mutual fund
transactions.

(B) Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
NSCC does not believe that the
proposed rule change will impose 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
No written comments relating to the
proposed rule change have been
solicited or received. NSCC will notify
the Commission of any written
comments received by the NSCC.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The foregoing rule change has become
effective upon filing pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 8 and Rule
19b–4(f)(4) 9 thereunder because it
effects a change in an existing service of
a registered clearing agency that does
not adversely affect the safeguarding of
securities or funds in the custody or
control of the clearing agency or for
which it is responsible and does not
significantly affect the respective rights
or obligations of the clearing agency or
persons using the service. At any time
within sixty days of the filing of such
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.

for routing standardized equity and
index option customer and professional
orders to away markets for execution.
While changes to the Exchange’s Fee
Schedule pursuant to this proposal are
effective upon filing, the Exchange has
designated this proposal to be effective
for trades settling on or after July 1,
2010.
The text of the proposed rule change
is available on the Exchange’s Web site

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
erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
1. Purpose
The purpose of the proposed rule
change is to recoup costs that the
Exchange incurs for routing and
executing customer and professional
orders in equity and index options to
away markets.
In May 2009, the Exchange adopted
Rule 1080(m)(iii)(A) to establish Nasdaq
Options Services LLC (‘‘NOS’’), a
member of the Exchange, as the
Exchange’s exclusive order router.4 NOS
is utilized by the Phlx XL II system
solely to route orders in options listed
and open for trading on the Phlx XL II
system to destination markets.
Currently, the Exchange’s Fee
Schedule includes Routing Fees for both
customer and professional orders. The
Exchange currently assesses a Routing
Fee of $.40 per contract in all customer
and professional 5 option orders that are
28, 2009), 74 FR 26750 (June 3, 2009) (SR–Phlx–
2009–32). The instant proposed fees will apply only
to option orders entered into, and routed by, the
Phlx XL II system.
4 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59995
(May 28, 2009), 74 FR 26750 (June 3, 2009) (SR–
Phlx–2009–32).
5 The Exchange defines a ‘‘professional’’ as any
person or entity that (i) is not a broker or dealer in
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 220001
routed to the NASDAQ Options Market
(‘‘NOM’’).
The Exchange proposes to amend the
current fee of $.40 per contract that is
assessed for routing customer and
professional orders to NOM in all
options to $.46 per contract. The
Exchange is proposing this amendment
in order to recoup clearing and
transaction charges which are incurred
by the Exchange when orders are routed
to NOM. Each destination market’s
transaction charge varies and there is a
standard clearing charge for each
transaction incurred by the Exchange.
The Exchange proposes this fee change
to account for an increase in cost for
routing to NOM.6
As with all fees, the Exchange may
adjust these Routing Fees in response to
competitive conditions by filing a new
proposed rule change. While changes to
the Exchange’s Fee Schedule pursuant
to this proposal are effective upon filing,
the Exchange has designated this
proposal to be effective for trades
settling on or after July 1, 2010.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its
proposal to amend its Fee Schedule is
consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act 7
in general, and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(4) of the Act 8 in particular,
in that it is an equitable allocation of
reasonable fees and other charges among
Exchange members. The Exchange
believes that this fee is equitable
because it would be equally assessed on
all customer and professional orders
routed to NOM. The Exchange also
believes that this fee is reasonable
because the Exchange is seeking to
recoup the costs incurred by the
Exchange to route customer and
professional orders to NOM on behalf of
its members.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on competition not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act.

Statement on Comments on the

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Notice of Filing and Immediate

June 30, 2010.
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\, and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on June 21, 2010, NASDAQ OMX PHLX, Inc. (``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III, below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to amend its fees governing pricing for
Exchange members using the Phlx XL II system,\3\
[[Page 39723]]
for routing standardized equity and index option customer and
professional orders to away markets for execution.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ For a complete description of Phlx XL II, see Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 59995 (May 28, 2009), 74 FR 26750 (June 3,
2009) (SR-Phlx-2009-32). The instant proposed fees will apply only
to option orders entered into, and routed by, the Phlx XL II system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
While changes to the Exchange's Fee Schedule pursuant to this
proposal are effective upon filing, the Exchange has designated this
proposal to be effective for trades settling on or after July 1, 2010.
The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at https://nasdaqtrader.com/micro.aspx?id=PHLXfilings, at the
principal office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public
Reference Room.
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 purpose of the proposed rule change is to recoup costs that the
Exchange incurs for routing and executing customer and professional
orders in equity and index options to away markets.
In May 2009, the Exchange adopted Rule 1080(m)(iii)(A) to establish
Nasdaq Options Services LLC (``NOS''), a member of the Exchange, as the
Exchange's exclusive order router.\4\ NOS is utilized by the Phlx XL II
system solely to route orders in options listed and open for trading on
the Phlx XL II system to destination markets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59995 (May 28,
2009), 74 FR 26750 (June 3, 2009) (SR-Phlx-2009-32).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently, the Exchange's Fee Schedule includes Routing Fees for
both customer and professional orders. The Exchange currently assesses
a Routing Fee of $.40 per contract in all customer and professional \5\
option orders that are routed to the NASDAQ Options Market (``NOM'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ The Exchange defines a ``professional'' as any person or
entity that (i) is not a broker or dealer in securities, and (ii)
places more than 390 orders in listed options per day on average
during a calendar month for its own beneficial account(s)
(hereinafter ``Professional''). See 1000(b)14.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Exchange proposes to amend the current fee of $.40 per contract
that is assessed for routing customer and professional orders to NOM in
all options to $.46 per contract. The Exchange is proposing this
amendment in order to recoup clearing and transaction charges which are
incurred by the Exchange when orders are routed to NOM. Each
destination market's transaction charge varies and there is a standard
clearing charge for each transaction incurred by the Exchange. The
Exchange proposes this fee change to account for an increase in cost
for routing to NOM.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See SR-NASDAQ-2010-075.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As with all fees, the Exchange may adjust these Routing Fees in
response to competitive conditions by filing a new proposed rule
change. While changes to the Exchange's Fee Schedule pursuant to this
proposal are effective upon filing, the Exchange has designated this
proposal to be effective for trades settling on or after July 1, 2010.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its proposal to amend its Fee Schedule
is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act \7\ in general, and furthers
the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \8\ in particular, in that
it is an equitable allocation of reasonable fees and other charges
among Exchange members. The Exchange believes that this fee is
equitable because it would be equally assessed on all customer and
professional orders routed to NOM. The Exchange also believes that this
fee is reasonable because the Exchange is seeking to recoup the costs
incurred by the Exchange to route customer and professional orders to
NOM on behalf of its members.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
