The Exchange believes that Rules 971 and 972 are no longer necessary, since they were fully effective [sic] at the time of the Exchange’s demutualization and its acquisition by The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc., respectively. Accordingly, removing the rules from the Exchange’s rulebook will perfect the mechanism of a free and open market by eliminating rules that are unnecessary and potentially confusing to member organizations. Exchange has provided the Commission written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule change. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange’s proposed amendments seek to delete certain obsolete rules. Because the change will not alter the rights or obligations of member organizations in any respect, the Exchange believes that the change will not affect competition in any respect.
