Joint Industry Plan; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Amendment No. 37 to the Joint Self-Regulatory Organization Plan Governing the Collection, Consolidation and Dissemination of Quotation and Transaction Information for Nasdaq-Listed Securities Traded on Exchanges on an Unlisted Trading Privileges Basis To Add the Investors Exchange LLC as a Participant

Pursuant to Section 11A(a)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and Rule 608 thereunder, notice is hereby given that on August 11, 2016 the Participants in the Joint Self-Regulatory Organization Plan Governing the Collection, Consolidation and Dissemination of Quotation and Transaction Information for Nasdaq-Listed Securities Traded on Exchanges on an Unlisted Trading Privileges Basis (“NASDAQ/UTP Plan” or “Plan”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) an amendment to the Plan to add Investors Exchange LLC (“IEX”) as a Participant to the Plan. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the amendment from interested persons.

I. Description and Purpose of the Plan Amendment

As noted above, the amendment to the Plan adds the IEX as a Participant. On June 17, 2016, the Commission issued an order granting IEX's application for registration as a national securities exchange. A condition of the Commission's approval was the requirement for IEX to join the Plan.

Under Section I.B of the Plan, any other national securities association or national securities exchange, in whose market Eligible Securities become traded, may become a Participant, provided that said organization executes a copy of the Plan and pays its share of development costs, as specified in the Plan. The amendment is effective upon filing with the Commission in accordance with Rule 608 of Regulation NMS.

IEX has satisfied all requirements under the Plan, and has executed a copy of the Plan currently in effect, with the only change being the addition of its name to the Plan. Accordingly, all of the Plan requirements for effecting an amendment to the Plan to add IEX as a Participant have been satisfied.

II. Effectiveness of the Proposed Plan Amendment

The foregoing Plan amendment has become effective pursuant to Rule 608(b)(3)(iii) of the Exchange Act because it involves solely technical or ministerial matters. At any time within sixty days of the filing of this amendment, the Commission may summarily abrogate the amendment and require that it be refiled pursuant to paragraph (a)(1) of Rule 608, if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or the maintenance of fair and orderly markets, to remove impediments to, and perfect the mechanisms of, a national market system or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Exchange Act.
