SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    On June 10, 2016, FDA held a public meeting on a potential new user
fee program for nonprescription (over-the-counter or OTC) monograph
drugs. In the announcement of the public meeting in the Federal
Register (May 11, 2016, 81 FR 29275), FDA invited public comment as the
Agency considers a user-fee program for OTC monograph drugs. A user-fee
program would provide funding to supplement congressional non-user-fee
appropriations, and would support timely and efficient FDA review of
the efficacy and safety of ingredients included in or proposed for
inclusion in a monograph. Interested persons were given until July 11,
2016, to submit comments. A stakeholder webinar was held on September
6, 2016, which provided stakeholders with a status update on the
process of FDA and industry discussions that began in July 2016. In the
notice of public meeting (August 8, 2016, 81 FR 52444), FDA invited
public comments and interested parties were given until October 6,
2016, to submit comments.
    FDA will hold a webinar for stakeholders on August 23, 2017, to
provide stakeholders with a status update on the process of FDA and
industry discussions on an OTC Monograph user fee program that began in
July 2016. FDA will also provide an overview of proposed performance
goals and procedures related to a potential new OTC monograph user fee
program. This webinar is intended to be a followup to the June 10,
2016, public meeting and the September 6, 2016, stakeholder webinar on
a potential new OTC monograph user fee program.

[Release No. 34-97628; File No. SR-Phlx-2023-21]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Nasdaq PHLX LLC; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Establish Fees
for Field-Programmable Gate Array Technology as an Optional Delivery
Mechanism for PSX TotalView

May 31, 2023.
    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 23, 2023, Nasdaq PHLX LLC (``Phlx'' 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to--Proposed Rule Change to set fees for the
purchase of field-programmable gate array (``FPGA'') technology as an
optional delivery mechanism for PSX TotalView.
    While these amendments are effective upon filing, the Exchange has
designated the proposed amendments to be operative on June 1, 2023.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at https://listingcenter.nasdaq.com/rulebook/phlx/rules, 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 purpose of the proposed rule change is to establish a fee
schedule for the purchase of field-programmable gate array (``FPGA'')
technology as an optional delivery mechanism for PSX TotalView. This
follows a recently-filed proposal to offer FPGA technology as an
optional delivery mechanism for PSX TotalView.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See SR-Phlx-2023-18 (``A proposal to offer field-
programmable gate array (`FPGA') technology as an optional delivery
mechanism for PSX TotalView.''), available at https://listingcenter.nasdaq.com/assets/rulebook/Phlx/filings/SR-Phlx-2023-18.pdf. A proposal to establish a fee schedule for the use of FPGA
technology for the BX exchange is being filed concurrently with this
proposal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

FPGA
    FPGA is a hardware-based delivery mechanism that utilizes an
integrated circuit that is programmed to reduce ``jitter''--a technical
term of art referring to the deviation in amplitude, phase timing or
width of a signal pulse in a digital signal--that will allow data to be
processed in a more predictable, or ``deterministic,'' fashion. Higher
levels of determinism means less variable queuing, which improves the
predictability of data transfer, particularly during times of peak
market activity.
    The benefits of determinism depend on the use case of the
customer--in general, customers that process larger amounts of data at
higher frequencies seek a greater degree of determinism--as well as the
specific system architecture used by the customer.
    Among customers that seek a higher degree of determinism, the
benefits of FPGA technology varies, as FPGA technology is one possible
solution, among a catalog of possible solutions, for increasing the
consistency and predictability of message throughput over the course of
the trading day. Some customers are able to adequately control jitter
without using FPGA technology; other customers address jitter using
specialized software, coding or other design solutions in conjunction
with FPGA; still others use FPGA alone. The specific choice depends on
a complex analysis of the customer's information technology systems in
the context of their particular use cases.
    FPGA is a broadly-available, commonly-used type of programmable
circuit that can be modified to suit different use cases. It is used in
a wide spectrum of industries, including the consumer electronics,
automotive, and aerospace, as well as in a variety of industrial
applications. It is not unique to the financial services industry,\4\
or to Nasdaq.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See, e.g., Contrive Datum Insights, ``Field-Programmable
Gate Array (FPGA) Market is expected to reach around USD 22.10
Billion by 2030, Grow at a CAGR of 15.12% during Forecast Period
2023 to 2030,'' (February 21, 2023), available at https://www.globenewswire.com/en/news-release/2023/02/21/2612772/0/en/Field-Programmable-Gate-Array-FPGA-Market-Is-Expected-To-Reach-around-USD-22-10-Billion-by-2030-Grow-at-a-CAGR-Of-15-12-during-Forecast-Period-2023-To-2030-Data-By-Contrive-Datum-I.html (describing the
general size and state of the FPGA market in 2023).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FPGA technology has been offered by the Nasdaq Stock Exchange for
over a decade, and the Nasdaq Options Market for nearly as long,\5\ and
has been cited by the SEC as an example of a technology useful in the
distribution of market data products.\6\

innovation that could be employed by competing consolidators as part
of the Market Data Infrastructure rule).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to offer FPGA technology in conjunction with
the Exchange's depth of book feed, PSX TotalView. PSX TotalView is a
real-time market data product that provides full order depth using a
series of order messages to track the life of customer orders in the
PSX market, as well as trade data for PSX executions and administrative
messages such as Trading Action messages, Symbol Directory, and Event
Control messages.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Nasdaq Phlx LLC Rules, Equity 7 (Pricing Schedule),
Section 3 (Nasdaq PSX Fees), PSX TotalView; see also Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 62876 (September 9, 2010), 75 FR 56624
(September 16, 2010) (SR-Phlx-2010-120) (introducing PSX TotalView
as a product).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposed Fees
    Phlx proposes internal distribution fees of $3,500 per month and
external distribution fees of $350 for FPGA hardware; customers that
elect to use FPGA hardware for both internal and external distribution
will pay both fees.\8\

These fees are in addition to Market Data Distributor Fees \9\ and fees
for PSX TotalView.\10\ Customers that elect to receive PSX TotalView
without using FPGA technology will pay no fee in addition to the
underlying fees listed above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The difference in amount for external and external
distribution reflects Nasdaq's experience that the Exchange's FPGA
hardware is best employed at the point of ingestion, as the utility
of FPGA technology falls as the data moves farther from the source.
    \9\ See Nasdaq Phlx LLC Rules, Equity 7, Section 3, Market Data
Distributor Fees.
    \10\ See id., PSX TotalView.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed fees are substantially lower than FPGA fees for the
Nasdaq exchange, which are set at $25,000 per Distributor for internal
only distribution, $2,500 for external only, and $27,500 for internal
and external distribution.\11\ The difference is based, in part, on a
comparison of peak activity at the two exchanges. As noted above, high
levels of determinism are particularly valuable during periods of peak
activity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC Rules, Equity 7 (Pricing
Schedule), Section 126(c) (Hardware-based delivery of Nasdaq depth
data).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Although there is considerable variation in the number of messages
at various peaks, as well as the duration of peak activity, the
proposed fees are roughly comparable to the differences in average peak
activity for Phlx equity products relative to the Nasdaq exchange.
Exchange staff have also discussed the proposed fees with customers,
and believe, based on those discussions and their own business
judgment, that the proposed fees fairly reflect the value of FPGA
technology for the Phlx equity exchange. A number of customers
provisionally agree with this assessment, and have indicated that they
are interested in testing it.
    No other exchange currently offers FPGA technology as a separate
service in conjunction with the delivery of a proprietary data feed,
and therefore there are no other fees for comparison. If Phlx is
incorrect in its determination that the proposed fees reflect the
underlying value of FPGA technology, customers will not purchase the
product. FPGA technology is not necessary for a customer to ingest and
process depth of book information, and those customers that seek a
higher degree of determinism have a number of options at their disposal
to reduce jitter without using FPGA.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with section
6(b) of the Act,\12\ in general, and furthers the objectives of
sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,\13\ 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, and is not designed to permit unfair discrimination between
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed changes to the pricing schedule are reasonable in
several respects. As a threshold matter, the Exchange is subject to
significant competitive forces in the market for order flow, which
constrains its pricing determinations. The fact that the market for
order flow is competitive has long been recognized by the courts. In
NetCoalition v. Securities and Exchange Commission, the D.C. Circuit
stated, ``[n]o one disputes that competition for order flow is
`fierce.' . . . As the SEC explained, `[i]n the U.S. national market
system, buyers and sellers of securities, and the broker-dealers that
act as their order-routing agents, have a wide range of choices of
where to route orders for execution'; [and] `no exchange can afford to
take its market share percentages for granted' because `no exchange
possesses a monopoly, regulatory or otherwise, in the execution of
order flow from broker dealers' . . . .'' \14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See NetCoalition, 615 F.3d at 539 (D.C. Cir. 2010) (quoting
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59039 (December 2, 2008), 73 FR
74770, 74782-83 (December 9, 2008) (SR-NYSEArca-2006-21)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission and the courts have repeatedly expressed their
preference for competition over regulatory intervention to determine
prices, products, and services in the securities markets. In Regulation
NMS, while adopting a series of steps to improve the current market
model, the Commission highlighted the importance of market forces in
determining prices and SRO revenues, and also recognized that current
regulation of the market system ``has been remarkably successful in
promoting market competition in its broader forms that are most
important to investors and listed companies.'' \15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 51808 (June 9,
2005), 70 FR 37496, 37499 (June 29, 2005) (``Regulation NMS Adopting
Release'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Congress directed the Commission to ``rely on `competition,
whenever possible, in meeting its regulatory responsibilities for
overseeing the SROs and the national market system.' '' \16\ As a
result, the Commission has historically relied on competitive forces to
determine whether a fee proposal is equitable, fair, reasonable, and
not unreasonably or unfairly discriminatory. ``If competitive forces
are operative, the self-interest of the exchanges themselves will work
powerfully to constrain unreasonable or unfair behavior.'' \17\
Accordingly, ``the existence of significant competition provides a
substantial basis for finding that the terms of an exchange's fee
proposal are equitable, fair, reasonable, and not unreasonably or
unfairly discriminatory.'' \18\ In its 2019 guidance on fee proposals,
Commission staff indicated that they would look at factors beyond the
competitive environment, such as cost, only if a ``proposal lacks
persuasive evidence that the proposed fee is constrained by significant
competitive forces.'' \19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See NetCoalition, 615 F.3d at 534-35; see also H.R. Rep.
No. 94-229 at 92 (1975) (``[I]t is the intent of the conferees that
the national market system evolve through the interplay of
competitive forces as unnecessary regulatory restrictions are
removed.'').
    \17\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59039 (December 2,
2008), 73 FR 74,770 (December 9, 2008) (SR-NYSEArca-2006-21).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Substitutes for FPGA Technology
    No customer is required to purchase FPGA technology for either
legal or technological reasons--even a customer that seeks to reduce
jitter.\20\ Indeed, a majority of Nasdaq depth customers are not
concerned with jitter because they do not process information at
sufficiently high speeds for jitter to become a concern. These
customers can continue to ingest PSX TotalView as they do now.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ Not all customers of depth of book information process at
sufficiently high speeds for jitter to become a concern. Neither
FPGA hardware nor its substitutes are required to ingest depth of
book information.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Customers searching for greater determinism have an array of
options for optimizing their systems. The benefits of selecting any
particular option depend on a number of factors, including, but not
limited to, the design of the customer's information system
architecture, how its computer code is written, the types of hardware
it uses to process information, and the cost of each option.
    To illustrate the choice faced by exchange customers, consider the
decisions made by the two consolidated data processors, the UTP and CTA
Plans, two different systems that use dissimilar means to achieve an
optimal solution. Both perform the same task--combining quotes and
trades from all U.S. exchanges into a consolidated data feed with
relatively low jitter. Yet only one processor--the CTA Plan--uses FPGA
hardware, while the other--the UTP Plan--does not.
    This is because the UTP Plan's design, coding and hardware achieve
the desired level of determinism without

FPGA technology. The CTA Plan, by contrast, elected to incorporate FPGA
technology into its system design. Notwithstanding these different
design decisions, both plans achieve broadly similar levels of
performance. FPGA technology is therefore not essential to addressing
jitter, but rather is one option among many to address the issue.
    Market data customers face an array of choices to optimize
determinism, much like the UTP and CTA Plans. For example, a customer
may purchase and deploy its own FPGA hardware, without purchasing the
proposed FPGA technology service from the Exchange, after receiving
data from the Exchange. Another customer may find use of the Exchange's
FPGA technology, which lowers the level of jitter prior to the
customer's receipt of the data, to be a better fit for its system
architecture. The solution chosen will vary based on the needs and
design choices of the customer.
    The experience of the Nasdaq exchange in offering FPGA technology
shows that customers sensitive to jitter often avail themselves of
substitutes for FPGA technology, a decision that can change over time.
Over the past decade, a total of 21 current or potential users of FPGA
technology--all of which required high degrees of determinism--
substituted FPGA with an alternative solution. Six of these customers
were in the process of developing and testing FPGA hardware but
ultimately decided not to purchase it before completing this process.
The remaining 15 customers purchased FPGA technology, only to cancel it
after using it. Because all of these customers continued to utilize the
underlying data, these cancelations demonstrate that FPGA technology is
an optional service, even for those customers that seek to reduce
jitter.
    Moreover, as noted above, no other exchange currently offers FPGA
technology in conjunction with their proprietary data feeds as a
separate service, notwithstanding the fact that it is a widely
available technology, providing further evidence that customers have
multiple options at their disposal to address jitter.
    The Exchange is aware of no systematic differences among market
participants that choose to use or not to use FPGA technology. Jitter
is a potential issue for any intensive user of market data, including
banks, high-frequency trading firms, and hedge funds, yet not all of
these customers purchase FPGA technology. The determining factor is not
the type of customer, but rather the compatibility of FPGA technology
with the customer's specific systems architecture an technical
requirements, which can and do change over time as systems are
modified, replaced or updated.
    For all of these reasons, customers can discontinue the use of FPGA
technology at any time, or decide not to purchase it, for any reason,
including the level of fees.
    Customers that choose not to purchase FPGA technology are not
impacted by the proposal.
    The proposed fees will be available to all customers on a non-
discriminatory basis, and therefore are not designed to permit unfair
discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
    This Proposal, a response to customer demand, is a product of a
competitive marketplace. To date, lower levels of peak activity at the
Phlx equity exchange relative to the Nasdaq exchange have been
associated with low levels of customer interest in this product.
Recently, however, Phlx has heard from customers interested in using
FPGA technology for PSX TotalView. To address this customer demand, and
to drive liquidity to the Phlx equity exchange by making it a more
attractive trading venue, Phlx has decided to offer this product.
    Approval of this Proposal will further promote competition by
providing market participants additional choices in the transmission of
PSX TotalView.
    Nothing in the Proposal burdens inter-market competition (the
competition among self-regulatory organizations) because approval of
the Proposal does not impose any burden on the ability of other
exchanges to compete. As noted above, FPGA technology is generally
available and any exchange has the ability to offer it if it so
chooses.
    Nothing in the Proposal burdens intra-market competition (the
competition among consumers of exchange data) because FPGA technology
is available to any customer under the same fee schedule as any other
customer, and any market participant that wishes to purchase FPGA
technology can do so on a non-discriminatory basis.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or 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.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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: (i)
necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the
protection of investors; or (iii) 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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:
