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 Exchange recently added Nasdaq Rule 7046 (Nasdaq Trading Insights) to the Nasdaq rule book. Nasdaq Trading Insights is an optional market data service available to market participants for a corresponding fee and comprised of four distinct market data components. Specifically, as described in greater detail in the filing to establish Nasdaq Trading Insights, the market data components include: (a) Missed Opportunity—Liquidity; (b) Missed Opportunity—Latency; (c) Peer Benchmarking; and (d) Liquidity Dynamics Analysis. The purpose of this proposed rule change is to announce that Nasdaq is delaying the availability of the fourth component, Liquidity Dynamics Analysis, while analyzing the possibility of modifying that component and/or introducing adding [sic] additional data elements to Nasdaq Trading Insights. Nasdaq will submit a proposed rule change in the near future to confirm the availability of the Liquidity Dynamics Analysis component and/or to effectuate any additional changes to Nasdaq Trading Insights.

2. Statutory Basis

The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the provisions of Section 6 of the Act, in general and with Sections [sic] 6(b)(5) of the Act, in particular in that it is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. This proposal is in keeping with those principles in that it is designed to ensure that Rule 7046 accurately reflects the components of Nasdaq Trading Insights that Nasdaq intends to make available at this time.

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

The Exchange 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. Specifically, Nasdaq believes that the proposed rule change will not affect competition in any respect because designed [sic] to ensure that Rule 7046 accurately reflects the components of Nasdaq Trading Insights that Nasdaq intends to make available at this time.

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

Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.

A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the Act normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date of its filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) permits the Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay. The Exchange stated that although the Nasdaq Trading Insights product has been approved and is available to customers, the Exchange intends to delay the availability of one of its components in order to allow time to analyze the possibility of modifying it. The Exchange believes that waiver of the operative delay would ensure that Rule 7046 accurately reflects the components of Nasdaq Trading Insights that the Exchange intends to make available at this time. The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the operative delay and designates the proposed rule change operative upon filing.

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 change should be approved or disapproved.
