number of Non-Industry Directors on
the committee equal or exceed the
number of Industry Directors. The
proposed compositional requirement for
the committee with regard to the
balance between Industry Directors and
Non-Industry Directors would be the
same as that already provided for in the
NASDAQ OMX By-Laws with respect to
the Executive Committee and the
Nominating and Governance
Committee, as well as the full Board of
Directors.
According to the SROs, the proposed
changes will provide NASDAQ OMX
with a greater flexibility with regard to
populating a committee that includes
directors with relevant expertise and
that is not excessively large in relation
to the size of the full Board of Directors,
while continuing to ensure that
directors associated with Exchange
members and other broker-dealers do
not exert disproportionate influence of
the governance of NASDAQ OMX.6
III. Discussion and Commission
Findings
The Commission has reviewed
carefully the proposed rule changes and
finds that the proposed rule changes are
consistent with the requirements of the
Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to a national
securities exchange or a registered
clearing agency.7 In particular, the
Commission finds that the proposed
rule changes are consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,8 which, among other
things, requires a national securities
exchange to be so organized and have
the capacity to be able to carry out the
purposes of the Act and to enforce
compliance by its members and persons
associated with its members with the
provisions of the Act, the rules and
regulations thereunder, and the rules of
the exchange, and is designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and
practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to remove
impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market
and a national market system, and, in
general, to protect investors and the
public interest. The Commission also
finds that the proposed rule changes are
consistent with Section 17A of the Act 9
because the proposed rule changes will
help ensure that BSECC and SCCP are
so organized and have the capacity to
comply with the provisions of the Act
6 See,
e.g., NASDAQ Notice, 77 FR at 39752.
approving the proposed rule changes, the
Commission has considered their impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See

and the rules and regulations
thereunder.
The proposed changes to the
composition requirement of NASDAQ
OMX’s Management Compensation
Committee are identical to the
composition requirements currently in
effect for the Executive Committee,
Nominating and Governance
Committee, and full Board of Directors
of NASDAQ OMX.10 Furthermore, the
NASDAQ OMX Management
Compensation Committee is required to
be comprised of Independent Directors
(as defined in NASDAQ’s rules).11
IV. Conclusion
For the foregoing reasons, the
Commission finds that the proposed
rule changes are consistent with the Act
and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to a national
securities exchange and a registered
clearing agency.
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 12 that the
proposed rule changes (SR–BSECC–
2012–001; SR–BX–2012–052; SR–
NASDAQ–2012–072; SR–Phlx–2012–95;
and SR–SCCP–2012–01), are approved.
For the Commission, by the Division
of Trading and Markets, pursuant to
delegated authority.13

amended the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a)
by describing the conditions under

the Privacy Act regarding protections for
such persons.
The Privacy Act, as amended,
regulates the use of computer matching
by Federal agencies when records in a
system of records are matched with
other Federal, State, or local government
records. It requires Federal agencies
involved in computer matching
programs to:
(1) Negotiate written agreements with
the other agency or agencies
participating in the matching programs;
(2) Obtain the approval of the
matching agreement by the Data
Integrity Boards of the participating
Federal agencies;
(3) Publish notice of the computer
matching program in the Federal

matching programs to Congress and
OMB;
(5) Notify applicants and beneficiaries
that their records are subject to
