VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:27 Jun 13, 2011 Jkt 223001 A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose The Exchange proposes to amend the Fee Schedule regarding fees assessed for the installation of certain co-location services to further incentivize the use of the co-location services. The installation fees for the following co-location services will be waived commencing June 1, 2011 and ending June 30, 2011 (the ‘‘designated period’’). Beginning July 1, 2011, the above-referenced waived fees will resume in full at the amount prior to [sic] designated period. The Exchange proposes to waive the following installation fees during the designated period: 1. Section X(a): Installation fees for new cabinets with power. 2. Section X(b): Installation fees for external telecommunication, intercabinet connectivity, connectivity to The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and market data connectivity related to an order for a new cabinet. However, the one-time telecommunication connectivity expedite fee 3 will not be waived during the designated period. 3. Section X(c): Installation fees for cabinet power related to an order for a new cabinet. 4. Section X(d): Installation fees for cooling fans, perforated floor tiles and fiber downspouts, which are necessary items to support a higher density cabinet and fiber cross connects, relating to an order for a new cabinet placed during the designated period. Installation fees for other items that are customized or options are not waived during the time period. The following requirements must be met to receive the waiver of the installation fee: 1. The new cabinet order must be placed in the CoLo Console 4 during the designated period; and 2. the new cabinet must be live within 90 days of the date of the order.5 3 The one-time telecommunication connectivity expedite fee is a fee for an optional request to complete the installation in a shorter time period than the install timeframes. 4 The ‘‘CoLo Console’’ is a Web-based ordering tool that is utilized by Phlx to place co-location orders. 5 Exchange staff generally installs and makes operational a new cabinet within 90 days of the date of the order (the ‘‘live date’’). The estimated live date is communicated to the customer. However, there may be instances where the customer desires the live date to be later than the estimated live date provided by Exchange staff. In such instances, the live date cannot extend beyond 90 days of the date of the order. PO 00000 Frm 00160 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,6 in general, and with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,7 in particular, in that it provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among members and issuers and other persons using any facility or system which the Exchange operates or controls. The proposed installation fees in [sic] which the Exchange seeks a temporary waiver will be assessed equally to customers that place an order for a new cabinet during the designated period. The proposed amendments will provide an incentive for customers to avail themselves of the designated colocation services. The proposal is similar to the waiver of fees during an introductory period for a product, and is equitable because all persons may avail themselves of the waiver during the period of its availability. 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. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others No written comments were either solicited or received. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act.8 At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend 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. If the Commission takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved. IV.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend the Fee Schedule regarding fees 
assessed for the installation of certain co-location services to 
further incentivize the use of the co-location services. The 
installation fees for the following co-location services will be waived 
commencing June 1, 2011 and ending June 30, 2011 (the ``designated 
period''). Beginning July 1, 2011, the above-referenced waived fees 
will resume in full at the amount prior to [sic] designated period. The 
Exchange proposes to waive the following installation fees during the 
designated period:
    1. Section X(a): Installation fees for new cabinets with power.
    2. Section X(b): Installation fees for external telecommunication, 
inter-cabinet connectivity, connectivity to The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC 
and market data connectivity related to an order for a new cabinet. 
However, the one-time telecommunication connectivity expedite fee \3\ 
will not be waived during the designated period.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The one-time telecommunication connectivity expedite fee is 
a fee for an optional request to complete the installation in a 
shorter time period than the install timeframes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    3. Section X(c): Installation fees for cabinet power related to an 
order for a new cabinet.
    4. Section X(d): Installation fees for cooling fans, perforated 
floor tiles and fiber downspouts, which are necessary items to support 
a higher density cabinet and fiber cross connects, relating to an order 
for a new cabinet placed during the designated period. Installation 
fees for other items that are customized or options are not waived 
during the time period.
    The following requirements must be met to receive the waiver of the 
installation fee:
    1. The new cabinet order must be placed in the CoLo Console \4\ 
during the designated period; and
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The ``CoLo Console'' is a Web-based ordering tool that is 
utilized by Phlx to place co-location orders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2. the new cabinet must be live within 90 days of the date of the 
order.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Exchange staff generally installs and makes operational a 
new cabinet within 90 days of the date of the order (the ``live 
date''). The estimated live date is communicated to the customer. 
However, there may be instances where the customer desires the live 
date to be later than the estimated live date provided by Exchange 
staff. In such instances, the live date cannot extend beyond 90 days 
of the date of the order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent 
with the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,\6\ in general, and with 
Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\7\ in particular, in that it provides for 
the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges 
among members and issuers and other persons using any facility or 
system which the Exchange operates or controls. The proposed 
installation fees in [sic] which the Exchange seeks a temporary waiver 
will be assessed equally to customers that place an order for a new 
cabinet during the designated period. The proposed amendments will 
provide an incentive for customers to avail themselves of the 
designated co-location services. The proposal is similar to the waiver 
of fees during an introductory period for a product, and is equitable 
because all persons may avail themselves of the waiver during the 
period of its availability.
