SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-55444; File No. SR-NASDAQ-2007-006]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC;
Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change To Establish Daily Share
Volume Service and Fees for the Service

March 12, 2007.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on February 7, 2007, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (``Nasdaq'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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

    Nasdaq proposes to establish fees to make Nasdaq Daily Share Volume

information available via a Web-based data product that will provide
daily traded share volume by issue for participating market
participants on a T+1 basis. The text of the proposed rule change is
available at Nasdaq, http://www.nasdaq.com, and the Commission's Public

Reference Room.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\Changes are marked to the rule text that appears in the
electronic NASDAQ Manual found at http://www.nasdaqtrader.com.

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

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. 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
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    Nasdaq proposes to establish the Nasdaq Daily Share Volume Service
(``Service'') and to establish fees for the Service, to make
information available via a Web-based data product that will provide
daily traded share volume by issue for participating market
participants on a T+1 basis. Currently, Nasdaq provides a share volume
product on a monthly basis called the NASDAQ Monthly Market Maker Share
Volume Report. Nasdaq has received numerous requests for a comparable
daily product based on trades executed by, or reported to, Nasdaq
systems.
    Vendors and other exchanges also currently make daily broker volume
reports available. Specifically, the New York Stock Exchange (``NYSE'')
provides a daily NYSE Broker Volume Report based on trades reported to
the NYSE. Access to the NYSE reports via the web costs $300/month.
Access to the full dataset via FTP costs $3,000/month.
    In response to this demand, Nasdaq proposes to establish the
Service. The Service will provide subscribers with the ability to view
volume reports on a T+1 basis. One level of service (``web
subscribers'') will enable users to access the product through a web
service that will allow a single subscriber to construct a variety of
custom queries and view and print the results. Another level of service
(``FTP subscribers'') will have FTP access to the full underlying data
set to create custom reports and enable redistribution, but a
distributor agreement will also be required.
    The volume data will include trades from the Nasdaq Execution
System and internalized prints from the Nasdaq/NASD Trade Report
Facility. Nasdaq proposes to charge:
     Web subscribers $240/month for individual access to view
and print the reports; or
     FTP subscribers $2,500/month for FTP access to the
underlying data for redistribution.
    These prices fairly reflect the value of this data. The Service is
responsive to the requests of market participants seeking an
alternative to the NYSE product and other commercial products. However,
Nasdaq believes that the Service is aggressively priced and that the
prices of the Service are designed to respond to customer demand, while
recognizing the challenge of establishing a new product in the
marketplace.
    Nasdaq will provide eligible market participants with the
opportunity to choose whether to advertise their trade volume by market
participant ID code and issue. Participation by eligible market
participants will be completely voluntary.
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, and it does not unfairly
discriminate between customers, issuers, brokers or dealers. Use of the
Service is voluntary and the subscription fees will be imposed on all
purchasers equally based on the level of service selected. The proposed
fees will cover the costs associated with establishing the Service,
responding to customer requests, configuring Nasdaq's systems,
programming to user specifications, and administering the Service,
among other things.

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

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.

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

    Within 35 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:
    A. By order approve such proposed rule change, or
    B. Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

SUBJECT:	Environmental fate and ecological risk assessment for
re-registration of chlorflurenol methyl ester (ME), an herbicide/plant
growth regulator for use on ornamentals, hedge and fence rows, turf,
shade trees, woody shrubs and vines, and to produce planting material
for pineapple production.

Environmental Fate and Effects Division (7507P)

The attached document contains the Environmental Fate and Effects
Division’s (EFED) screening-level environmental risk assessment for
Chlorflurenol ME.  The risk assessment has been conducted in accordance
with the Agency guidance on ecological risk assessment and the OPP
ecological risk assessment Overview document. Chlorflurenol ME is used
as an herbicide/plant growth regulator on ornamentals, hedge and fence
rows, turf, shade trees, woody shrubs and vines, and to produce planting
material for pineapple production.  An evaluation of environmental risk
to aquatic and terrestrial organisms as a result of the use of
chlorflurenol ME is summarized in the Executive Summary and the Risk
Characterization sections of the attached document.  This assessment was
conducted with minimal data and therefore contains major uncertainties.

Outstanding Data Requirements and Data Gaps

Environmental Fate:

The environmental fate data gaps are listed in Table 1 (also Appendix H,
the attached environmental risk assessment document).  In order to meet
data requirements and reduce uncertainty, the registrant is requested to
conduct:

161-1 Hydrolysis

161-2 Aqueous photolysis

161-3 Soil photolysis

162-1 Aerobic soil metabolism

162-2 Anaerobic soil metabolism

162-3 Anaerobic aquatic metabolism

163-1 Adsorption/desorption

164-1 Terrestrial field dissipation

165-4 Fish bioaccumulation

201-1 Droplet Size Spectrum

202-1 Drift Field Evaluation

Ecological Effects:

The screening-level risk assessment for chlorflurenol ME has been
conducted, despite unfulfilled guideline requirements and existing data
gaps.  Table 2 (also Appendix H, the attached environmental risk
assessment document) lists the status of the ecological effects data
requirements for chlorflurenol ME. In order to reduce uncertainty in
this risk assessment, we are requesting that the registrant submit the
following:

  SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1 Guideline 72-1: Acute freshwater fish.

Guideline 72-2: Acute freshwater invertebrate.

Guideline 72-3: Acute estuarine/marine fish and invertebrate.

Guideline 72-4: Chronic fish.

  SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1 Guideline 71-4: Avian reproduction.

Guideline 123-1: Terrestrial plant seedling emergence and vegetative
vigor.

Guideline 123-2 Aquatic plant growth

  SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1 Guideline 141-1: Honey bee acute contact toxicity.

Uncertainties

Environmental Fate:

The registrant has submitted three studies to support the environmental
fate data requirements; however, these studies were considered either
supplemental or unacceptable (see reasons below).  As a result, the
uncertainty analysis could not be performed with confidence.

  SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1 Guideline 161-1: The study was conducted at pHs 3,
6 and 9 rather than pHs 5, 7 and 9 as required in Subdivision N
Guidelines.  This study was determined to be supplemental.  The
hydrolysis data requirements have not been fulfilled.  A new study
including pH 7 is required.

  SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1   SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1 Guideline 162-1: The study
was conducted outdoors in the summer where the environmental conditions,
soil aerobicity, microbial viability, and soil moisture were neither
controlled nor reported.  Subdivision N Guidelines require that the
study be conducted in the dark at 25 ± 1°C.  This study was determined
to be unacceptable.  The aerobic soil metabolism data requirements have
not been fulfilled.  A new study is required.

Guideline 163-1:  Only one test soil type was used in the adsorption
study and it could not be determined if this German soil was comparable
to soils found in typical use areas in the United States.  Subdivision N
guidelines specify that four different soil types should be used.  This
study was determined to be supplemental.  The adsorption/desorption data
requirements have not been fulfilled.  A new study including three soils
is required.  SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1

Ecological Effects:

  SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1 Acute oral and dietary toxicity studies in birds
and acute oral toxicity studies in mammals failed to establish
definitive acute LD50/LC50 values (i.e., the LC50 was expressed as
“greater than” the highest dietary concentration tested); thus,
significant uncertainty was introduced into the avian oral- and
dietary-based and mammalian oral-based acute RQ calculations.

The study testing oral toxicity to birds did not state which components
were included in the test material.  EFED assumes the test material
contained all three components which may underestimate risk to birds on
an acute oral basis if in fact the test material only contained one of
the three components.

The mammalian chronic RQs are based on a developmental study that shows
evidence of delayed skull ossification and cleft palates in young rats.
These endpoints are not adequate for determining risk to the survival
and fecundity of a population.  However, without other studies EFED used
these data.  Therefore, the RQs may not accurately portray chronic risk
to mammals.   Risk may be under- or over-estimated.

Application interval and number of applications per year are not
indicated on the label.  For multiple application scenarios, the T-REX
model requires both of these parameters in order to estimate exposure to
terrestrial organisms.  In the absence of these numbers an application
interval of 28 days and 8 applications per year (as derived by HED,
Appendix B, attached risk assessment document) were used.  HED used
information provided on the labels along with knowledge of the crop/weed
growth cycles, pest pressure timing, etc. to determine the application
interval and yearly number of applications.  Since these numbers are
considered “likely” applications per year, risk to terrestrial
organisms may be underestimated.

EFED Label Recommendations

The EFED recommends the following changes in hazard labeling:

End Use Products

[Strike]	-	The pesticide is toxic to birds and mammals.  [Revised Oct
24, 2006]

This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates.

This product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment on
blooming crops or weeds. Do not apply this product or allow it to drift
to blooming crops or weeds while bees are actively visiting the
treatment area.

Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is
present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark.  Do not
contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.

Drift may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated
areas.

Manufacturing Use:

Do not discharge effluent containing this product into lakes, streams,
ponds, estuaries, oceans, or other waters unless in accordance with the
requirements of a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit and the permitting authority has been notified in writing
prior to discharge.  Do not discharge effluent containing this product
to sewer systems without previously notifying the local sewage treatment
plant authority.  For guidance contact your State Water Board or
Regional Office of the EPA.
