Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose [Release No. 34–70467; File No. SR– NASDAQ–2013–119] 1 15 Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant parts of such statements. Background. In July of 2013, NASDAQ began utilize wireless technology to make available to its colocated clients third-party data from the CME Group, and to assess fees for the delivery of that third party market data to market center clients via a wireless network.3 Clients who choose this optional service use their existing NASDAQ cross connect handoffs (1G, 10G, or 40G) to receive the multicast market data for CME Group, and NASDAQ act as re-distributor of the third party market data feeds, capturing the data at CME Group’s data centers and transporting the data to NASDAQ’s Carteret data center. CME Group data is also available via fiber optic network, and therefore the wireless connectivity is simply another of many alternative methods of acquiring the CME data. In July, NASDAQ began assessing clients a $5,000 installation fee (a nonrecurring charge) and a monthly recurring charge (MRC) of $23,500 for connectivity. Clients place orders for the wireless connectivity to CME data via NASDAQ’s CoLo Console.4 Subscribers to CME Group’s data via a wireless network are currently required to subscribe for a minimum of one year, which is standard practice for colocation offerings. As an incentive to clients, NASDAQ agreed to waive the first month’s MRC. Since July, the wireless network delivering CME data has performed well. NASDAQ OMX performed substantial network testing prior to offering the service for a fee to members. The wireless network will continue to be closely monitored and the client informed of any issues. As wireless networks may be affected by severe weather events, clients must have redundant methods to receive this market data and must attest to having alternate methods or establishing an alternate method in the near future when they order this service from the Exchange. 3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 69844; 78 F.R. 39383 (July 1, 2013) (SR–NASDAQ–2013– 084). 4 The ‘‘CoLo Console’’ is a web-based ordering tool NASDAQ offers to enable members to place colocation orders. PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 59391 Current Proposal. NASDAQ is proposing three minor modifications to the CME data fees. First, in addition to offering a single MRC fee of $23,000 for receiving all available CME data, NASDAQ will offer three subsets of data for subscribers seeking only a portion of the total available. Specifically, NASDAQ will offer Equities Futures Only data for an MRC of $10,000, Fixed Income Futures Only for an MRC of $10,000, and Metals Futures Only for an MRC of $3,500. Clients choosing to receive all CME data will continue to pay an MRC of $23,500 as they do today; clients choosing to receive less data will pay lower fees. The single $5,000 installation fee will continue to apply regardless of the amount of data clients elect to receive. Second, NASDAQ will eliminate the requirement that subscribers commit to a minimum 12-month subscription. Since July, NASDAQ has determined that clients prefer longer-term arrangements and, therefore, that a regulatory requirement is unnecessary. Just as NASDAQ and its vendor invest heavily to offer CME data, NASDAQ’s clients make substantial investments to obtain the CME data and they require long-term usage to help recover that investment. NASDAQ will also release from the 12-month minimum all current clients that adopted the product beginning in July subject to that requirement. This will allow all users to receive the CME data on the same terms. Third, NASDAQ will eliminate the 30-day waiver period for MRC fees for CME data. The waiver period is unnecessary because the 12-month minimum subscription no longer applies. Clients are now able to connect for a short period of time, test the product, and then disconnect without penalty at any time if the product does not prove valuable to them. Representations. The CME data feed delivery option will continue to be available to all clients of the data center, and is in response to industry demand, as well as to changes in the technology for distributing market data. Clients opting not to pay for the wireless connectivity will still be able to receive market data via fiber optics and standard telecommunications connections, as they do currently, and under the same fees. Receipt of trade data via wireless technology is completely optional. In addition, clients can choose to receive market data via other third-party vendors (Extranets or Telecommunication vendors) via fiber optic networks or wireless networks. The proposed fees are based on the cost to NASDAQ and the vendor of installing and maintaining the wireless E:\FR\FM\26SEN1.SGM 26SEN1
