Self-Regulatory Organizations; The
NASDAQ Stock Market LLC; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of
Proposed Rule Change Relating to
Participant Fee
December 23, 2015.
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 December
17, 2015, The NASDAQ Stock Market
LLC (‘‘Nasdaq’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘SEC’’ or ‘‘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
Product Change—Priority Mail
Negotiated Service Agreement
AGENCY:
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION
The Exchange proposes [sic] amend
the Exchange’s transaction fees at
Chapter XV, entitled ‘‘Options Pricing,’’
Section 10, entitled ‘‘Participant Fee—
Options.’’
The Exchange purposes [sic] an
increase to its Participant Fee to recoup
costs incurred by the Exchange. The
Exchange’s Participant Fee is
competitive with those of other options
exchanges.3 While the amendment
proposed herein is effective upon filing,
the Exchange has designated the
amendment [sic] become operative on
January 4, 2016.
The text of the proposed rule change
is available on the Exchange’s Web site
at https://nasdaq.cchwallstreet.com, at
the principal office of the Exchange, and
at the Commission’s Public Reference
Room.

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
Exchange 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 these
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 aspects of such
statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to increase
the NOM Participant Fee, so the
Exchange can allocate its costs to
various options market participants.
Today, the Exchange assesses all NOM
Participants a $500 per month
Participant Fee. This fee was initially
assessed in 2012.4 The Exchange
proposes to increase this Participant Fee
from $500 to $1,000 per month for all
NOM Participants. The proposed
Participant Fee is in addition to the
trading rights fee of $1,000 per month to
be an Exchange member.5
The Exchange believes this
Participant Fee is competitive with fees
at other options exchanges.6
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its
proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)
of the Act 7 in general, and furthers the
objectives of Sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5)
of the Act 8 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, and is not designed to permit
unfair discrimination between
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.
The Commission and the courts have
repeatedly expressed their preference
for competition over regulatory
intervention in determining prices,
products, and services in the securities
markets. In Regulation NMS, for
example, the Commission indicated that
