Modify Fees for Members Using the NASDAQ Market Center

June 8, 2011.
    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 May 25, 2011, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (the ``Exchange'' or
``NASDAQ'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been prepared by NASDAQ. 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 proposes to modify pricing for NASDAQ members using the
NASDAQ Market Center. NASDAQ will implement the proposed change on June
1, 2011. The text of the proposed rule change is available at http://nasdaq.cchwallstreet.com/, at NASDAQ's principal office, 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, NASDAQ 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. NASDAQ 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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    NASDAQ is amending Rule 7018 to make modifications to its pricing
schedule for execution of quotes/orders through the NASDAQ Market
Center of securities priced at $1 or more. Specifically, NASDAQ is
proposing to introduce, on a three-month pilot basis, an Attributable
Market Provider program to encourage more extensive market making
activity on NASDAQ. During a pilot period ending August 31, 2011, a
market maker with an MPID through which it has registered as a market
maker in a daily average of more than 5,000 securities during the month
will receive an additional credit of $0.0004 per share executed with
respect to attributable quotes/orders that provide liquidity through
such MPID, in addition to the credit that it is otherwise entitled to
receive under Rule 7018. The maximum additional rebate that a member
can receive under this pilot program is $250,000 per month. The cap
applies on a per member basis, regardless of the number of MPIDs
through which the member qualifies for the program. Through the
program, NASDAQ hopes to encourage market makers to register in a
greater number of securities and to offer displayed, attributable
liquidity in order to enhance price discovery. Throughout the pilot
period, NASDAQ will evaluate the costs and benefits of the program, and
will then either allow the pilot to lapse or file to extend, modify, or
make the program permanent.
    NASDAQ is also amending other provisions of Rule 7018 to reflect a
recent filing by NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc. (``BX'') \3\ in which BX
introduced pricing tiers for the credit it pays to persons accessing
liquidity on BX. Currently, NASDAQ passes through the $0.0014 per share
credit it receives from BX when it routes TFTY, SOLV, CART, or SAVE
orders to BX that execute at that venue. Although NASDAQ expects that
the volume of orders its members route to BX using the NASDAQ router
will allow NASDAQ to continue to qualify for this same rate with
respect to the orders that it routes to BX, it is at least
theoretically possible that an unexpected decrease in demand for
NASDAQ's routing services during a particular month could cause NASDAQ

to receive a lower credit with respect to the orders it routes to BX.
In that case, NASDAQ believes that it would be unfair to members that
opted to use the NASDAQ router to receive a lower rate than the $0.0014
rate they had expected. Accordingly, NASDAQ is amending its routing fee
provisions to replace the current pass-through language with a stated
credit of $0.0014 per share executed, which is the exact amount that
NASDAQ expects to receive when routing to BX. Similarly, the NASDAQ fee
schedule specifies the applicable fee for routing to venues such as the
New York Stock Exchange. Such fees are, in some case, lower than the
cost incurred by NASDAQ to route to such venues. In the case of orders
routed to BX, however, NASDAQ expects the rebate it pays to match the
rebate that it receives.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ SR-BX-2011-030 (May 25, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    NASDAQ believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with
the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,\4\ in general, and with Section
6(b)(4) of the Act,\5\ 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 NASDAQ operates or controls. All similarly situated members are
subject to the same fee structure, and access to NASDAQ is offered on
fair and non-discriminatory terms.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed Attributable Market Provider program is reasonable
because it will result in a fee reduction for members that qualify for
the program, without increasing the costs borne by other members.
Moreover, the proposed program is consistent with an equitable
allocation of fees because it allocates a higher rebate to members that
make significant contributions to NASDAQ market quality by making
markets in a large number of stocks and that contribute to price
discovery by posting attributable quotes/orders. Although members
qualifying for the program may use non-attributed and non-displayed
orders, the enhanced rebate will be paid only with respect to
attributable, displayed liquidity. Moreover, NASDAQ believes that the
program may encourage market makers to become active in more stocks and
display more shares of liquidity, thereby benefitting other market
participants that will receive a more complete understanding of the
supply and demand for particular stocks and that will be able to access
the liquidity displayed by such market makers.
    With regard to the change in language describing rebates provided
for routing to BX, NASDAQ believes that the change is reasonable and
equitable because it is designed to ensure that members using NASDAQ to
route to BX continue to receive the same credit that they currently
receive when routing to BX. This credit, in turn, is designed to
reflect the credit that NASDAQ receives from BX. Moreover, the change
is equitable because it is designed to ensure that members receive the
credit that they expect to receive when using NASDAQ to route to BX.
Because the credit received by NASDAQ would decrease only in the event
of a significant decrease in the usage of NASDAQ's router, NASDAQ
believes that it would be unfair to members that continue to use the
router if their credit was affected by the usage of other members.
Accordingly, establishing a specified credit in the fee rule will
ensure that members are unaffected in the unlikely event that the
rebate received by NASDAQ decreases.
    Finally, NASDAQ notes that it operates in a highly competitive
market in which market participants can readily favor competing venues
if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be excessive. In such
an environment, NASDAQ must continually adjust its fees to remain
competitive with other exchanges and with alternative trading systems
that have been exempted from compliance with the statutory standards
applicable to exchanges. NASDAQ believes that the proposed rule change
reflects this competitive environment because it will increase the
rebate paid to certain active market makers, while maintaining current
rebates with respect to routing to BX.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    NASDAQ does not believe that the proposed rule change will result
in any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended. Because the market
for order execution and routing is extremely competitive, members may
readily opt to disfavor NASDAQ's execution services if they believe
that alternatives offer them better value. For this reason and the
reasons discussed in connection with the statutory basis for the
proposed rule change, NASDAQ does not believe that the proposed changes
will impair the ability of members or competing order execution venues
to maintain their competitive standing in the financial markets.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act.\6\ At any time within 60 days of the filing
of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily
suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such
action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the
protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the Commission shall
institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule should be
approved or disapproved.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

DHS Department of Homeland Security
COTP Captain of the Port
NAD 83 North American Datum of 1983
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because doing so would be impracticable. The
final details of this event were not known to the Coast Guard until
there was insufficient time remaining before the event to publish an
NPRM. Thus, delaying the effective date of this rule to wait for a
comment period to run would be impracticable because it would inhibit
the Coast Guard's ability to protect participants, mariners, and
vessels from the hazards associated with this event. Furthermore, under
5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this temporary rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register for the same reasons noted above.
    During the afternoon of August 21, 2016, a non-sanctioned public
event, advertised over various social-media sites, in which a large
number of persons float down a segment of the St. Clair River, using
inner tubes and other similar floatation devices is scheduled to take
place. The 2016 Float-Down event will occur between approximately 12
p.m. and 8 p.m. on August 21, 2016. This event has taken place in the
month of August yearly from 2009 through 2015.
    While no private or municipal entity has requested a marine event
permit from the Coast Guard for this event, and although it has not
received state or federal permits over these past years, the event has
drawn over 3,000

participants of various ages annually. Despite plans put together by
federal, state and local officials, emergency responders and law
enforcement officials have been overburdened pursuing safety during
this event. Medical emergencies, people drifting across the
international border, and people trespassing on residential property
when trying to get out of the water before the designated finish line
are some of the numerous difficulties encountered during the Float-Down
event.
    During the 2014 Float-Down event, a 19-year-old participating in
the event died. Despite this, promotional information for the event
continues to be published, and more than 3,000 people are again
anticipated to float down the river this year. However, since no public
or private organization holds themselves responsible as the event
sponsor, the Coast Guard does not receive full and final details
regarding the event or the number of participants until the time of the
event.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231, 33 CFR 1.05-1 and 160.5; and Department of Homeland Security
Delegation No. 0170.1. The Captain of the Port Detroit (COTP) has
determined that the 2016 Float-Down poses significant risks to public
safety and property. The likely combination of large numbers of
participants, strong river currents, limited rescue resources, and
difficult emergency response scenarios could easily result in serious
injuries or fatalities to Float-Down participants and spectators.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone from 12 p.m. through 8 p.m. on
August 21, 2016. The safety zone will begin at Lighthouse Beach and
encompass all U.S. waters of the St. Clair River bound by a line
starting at a point on land north of Coast Guard Station Port Huron at
position 43[deg]00'25'' N.; 082[deg]25'20'' W., extending east to the
international boundary to a point at position 43[deg]00'25'' N.;
082[deg]25'02'' W., following south along the international boundary to
a point at position 42[deg]54'30'' N.; 082[deg]27'41'' W., extending
west to a point on land just north of Stag Island at position
42[deg]54'30'' N.; 082[deg]27'58'' W., and following north along the
U.S. shoreline to the point of origin (NAD 83).
    Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety zone is
prohibited unless authorized by the COTP or a designated
representative. Vessel operators must contact the COTP or his on-scene
representative to obtain permission to transit through this safety
zone. Additionally, no one under the age of 18 will be permitted to
enter the safety zone if they are not wearing a Coast Guard-approved
Personal Floatation Device (PFD). The COTP or his on-scene
representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes or executive orders.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    We conclude that this rule is not a significant regulatory action
because we anticipate that it will have minimal impact on the economy,
will not interfere with other agencies, will not adversely alter the
budget of any grant or loan recipients, and will not raise any novel
legal or policy issues. The safety zone created by this rule will be
relatively small and enforced for relatively short duration, and it is
designed to minimize the impact on navigation. Moreover, under certain
conditions, vessels may still transit through the safety zone when
permitted by the Captain of the Port.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    As per the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-
612, as amended, we have considered the potential impact of regulations
on small entities during rulemaking. The Coast Guard certifies under 5
U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    This rule will affect the following entities, some of which might
be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to
transit or anchor in this portion of southern Lake Huron and the St.
Clair River near Port Huron, MI on August 21, 2016, between the hours
of 12 p.m. and 8 p.m.
    This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the reasons cited in the
Regulatory Planning and Review section. Additionally, before the
enforcement of the zone, Coast Guard Sector Detroit will issue a local
Broadcast Notice to Mariners so vessel owners and operators can plan
accordingly.

C. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule so that they can better evaluate
its effects on them. If this rule would affect your small business,
organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have questions
concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please contact the
person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section above.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against entities
that question or complain about this rule or any policy or action of
the Coast Guard.

D. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

E. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and determined
that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

F. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to

coordinate protest activities so that your message can be received
without jeopardizing the safety or security of people, places, or
vessels.

G. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in
this preamble.

H. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

I. Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

J. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

K. Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

L. Energy Effects

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

M. Technical Standards

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

N. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
this action is one of a category of actions which do not individually
or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment.
This rule involves the establishment of a safety zone and is therefore
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g) of
Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An environmental analysis
checklist supporting this determination and a Categorical Exclusion
Determination are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may lead to the
discovery of a significant environmental impact from this rule.
