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
September 27, 2011, The NASDAQ
Stock Market LLC (‘‘NASDAQ’’) filed
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘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
NASDAQ is proposing to extend for
three months the fee pilot pursuant to
which NASDAQ distributes the
NASDAQ Last Sale (‘‘NLS’’) market data
products. NLS allows data distributors
to have access to real-time market data
for a capped fee, enabling those
distributors to provide free access to the
data to millions of individual investors
via the internet and television.
Specifically, NASDAQ offers the
‘‘NASDAQ Last Sale for NASDAQ’’ and
‘‘NASDAQ Last Sale for NYSE/Amex’’
data feeds containing last sale activity in
US equities within the NASDAQ Market
Center and reported to the jointlyoperated FINRA/NASDAQ Trade
Reporting Facility (‘‘FINRA/NASDAQ
TRF’’), which is jointly operated by
NASDAQ and the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (‘‘FINRA’’). The
purpose of this proposal is to extend the
existing pilot program for three months,
from October 1, 2011 through December
31, 2011.
This pilot program supports the
aspiration of Regulation NMS to
increase the availability of proprietary

data by allowing market forces to
determine the amount of proprietary
market data information that is made
available to the public and at what
price. During the pilot period, the
program has vastly increased the
availability of NASDAQ proprietary
market data to individual investors.
Based upon data from NLS distributors,
NASDAQ believes that since its launch
in July 2008, the NLS data has been
viewed by over 50,000,000 investors on
Web sites operated by Google,
Interactive Data, and Dow Jones, among
others.
The text of the proposed rule change
is below. Proposed new language is in
italics; proposed deletions are in
brackets.

7039. NASDAQ Last Sale Data Feeds
(a) For a three month pilot period
commencing on [July] October 1, 2011,
NASDAQ shall offer two proprietary
data feeds containing real-time last sale
information for trades executed on
NASDAQ or reported to the NASDAQ/
FINRA Trade Reporting Facility.
(1)–(2) No change.
(b)–(c) No change.

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
self-regulatory organization 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 those 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 parts of such
statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
Prior to the launch of NLS, public
investors that wished to view market
data to monitor their portfolios
generally had two choices: (1) Pay for
real-time market data or (2) use free data
that is 15 to 20 minutes delayed. To
increase consumer choice, NASDAQ
proposed a pilot to offer access to realtime market data to data distributors for
a capped fee, enabling those distributors
to disseminate the data at no cost to
millions of internet users and television
viewers. NASDAQ now proposes a
