NASDAQ is one of eight options
market in the national market system for
standardized options. Joining NASDAQ

voluntary. Under these circumstances,

order flow, execute orders, and grow as
a market. NASDAQ thus believes that its

consistent with the Exchange Act.

Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants or Others
No written comments were either
