Purpose Background The FINRA/Nasdaq TRF is a facility of FINRA that is operated by The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (‘‘NASDAQ OMX’’). In connection with the establishment of the FINRA/Nasdaq TRF, FINRA and NASDAQ OMX entered into a limited liability company agreement (the ‘‘LLC Agreement’’). Under the LLC Agreement, FINRA, the ‘‘SRO Member,’’ has sole regulatory responsibility for the FINRA/Nasdaq TRF. NASDAQ OMX, the ‘‘Business Member,’’ is primarily responsible for the management of the FINRA/Nasdaq TRF’s business affairs, including establishing pricing for use of the FINRA/Nasdaq TRF, to the extent those affairs are not inconsistent with the regulatory and oversight functions of FINRA. Additionally, the Business Member is obligated to pay the cost of regulation and is entitled to the profits and losses, if any, derived from the operation of the FINRA/Nasdaq TRF. The FINRA/Nasdaq TRF receives revenue for transactions reported to the three tapes 5 from the Consolidated Tape Association and Nasdaq Securities Information Processor (the ‘‘Tapes’’). Pursuant to Rule 7610A, FINRA members are provided with a fractional share of this revenue based on their ‘‘Market Share.’’6 Market Share is 5 Market data is transmitted to three tapes based on the listing venue of the security: New York Stock Exchange securities (‘‘Tape A’’), American Stock Exchange and regional exchange securities (‘‘Tape B’’), and Nasdaq Stock Market securities (‘‘Tape C’’). Tape A and Tape B are generally referred to as the Consolidated Tape. 6 Rule 7610A defines Market Share as a percentage calculated by dividing the total number of shares represented by trades reported by a FINRA member to the FINRA/Nasdaq TRF during a given calendar quarter by the total number of shares represented by all trades reported to the Consolidated Tape Association or the Nasdaq E:\FR\FM\19JAN1.SGM 19JAN1
