SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-82175; File No. SR-NASDAQ-2017-125]


Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC; 
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To 
Adopt a Shell Structure for the Nasdaq Rulebook

November 29, 2017.
    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 November 17, 2017, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (``Nasdaq'' or 
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and 
II 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 the 
Substance of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to adopt a shell structure for the Nasdaq 
rulebook (``Rulebook'') as part of its initiative to structure its 
Rulebook.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's 
Web site at http://nasdaq.cchwallstreet. com, 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
    On March 9, 2016, Nasdaq, Inc. acquired the capital stock of U.S. 
Exchange Holdings, thereby indirectly acquiring all of the interests of 
the International Securities Exchange, LLC (now Nasdaq ISE, LLC), ISE 
Gemini, LLC (now Nasdaq GEMX, LLC) (``GEMX'') and ISE Mercury, LLC (now 
Nasdaq MRX, LLC) (``MRX'').\3\ The acquisition resulted in a total of 
six self-regulatory organization licenses for Nasdaq, Inc. which, in 
addition to the three aforementioned exchanges, also include Nasdaq, 
Nasdaq PHLX LLC (``Phlx'') and Nasdaq BX, Inc. (``BX'') (collectively, 
``Nasdaq Entities'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 78119 (June 21, 
2016), 81 FR 41611 (June 27, 2016) (SR-ISE-2016-11; SR-ISE Gemini-
2016-05; SR-ISE Mercury-2016-10) (Order Granting Accelerated 
Approval of Proposed Rule Changes, Each as Modified by Amendment No. 
1 Thereto, Relating to a Corporate Transaction in Which Nasdaq, Inc. 
Will Become the Indirect Parent of ISE, ISE Gemini, and ISE 
Mercury).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange is planning to conform the chapters of the various 
Nasdaq Entity rulebooks for efficiency, and conformity of certain 
Nasdaq Entity processes. The Exchange believes that aligning the rules 
of the Nasdaq Entities will assist market participants in navigating 
the various rulebooks. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to add a 
shell structure which would reside alongside the current rulebook. The 
proposed shell would outline the various chapters of the future 
rulebook and contains new chapter numbering. A similar shell would be 
filed to add the same structure to each of the other Nasdaq Entities. 
The proposed chapters would be similar for each shell filed for each of 
the Nasdaq Entities. In subsequent rule changes, each of the Nasdaq 
Entities would file rule changes to move their current rules into the 
various chapters of the proposed shells for all six markets and delete 
the migrated rule from the current location in the Rulebook.\4\ The 
proposed shell would contain a general rule section and product 
specific sections, in this case equities and options, which would 
encompass all the rules of the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ When relocating the current rule text into the new shell, 
the Exchange shall not amend the rule text but simply move existing 
rule text.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes this new structure would align the Nasdaq 
Entities' rulebooks for ease of use by Members, who are members of more 
than one Nasdaq Entity. This proposal would not amend the current 
Rulebook and is therefore not a substantive change. A Member would 
continue to be able to view the current Rulebook alongside the proposed 
reorganized Rulebook. Subsequent rule changes will be filed to move the 
rule text into the shell Rulebook.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 
6(b) of the Act,\5\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 
6(b)(5) of the Act,\6\ in particular, in that it is designed to promote 
just and equitable principles of trade, 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, 
by starting the process of organizing its rules in a manner which is 
clear and consistent across the Nasdaq Entities. The Exchange believes 
that coordinating the chapters of the rulebooks among the Nasdaq 
Entities will provide Members, who are members of more than one Nasdaq 
Entity, with consistency and ease of reference in locating rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

[[Page 57495]]

of the purposes of the Act. The proposed changes do not impose a burden 
on competition because the proposed amendments are non-substantive, are 
intended to start the process to organize the rules of the Exchange in 
a manner that will be more user-friendly to Nasdaq Entity members.

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)(iii) of the Act \7\ and 
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). As required under Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange provided the Commission with written 
notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a 
brief description and the text of the proposed rule change, at least 
five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule 
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally does 
not become operative for 30 days after the date of its filing. However, 
Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \9\ 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 requested that the Commission 
waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposed rule change will 
become operative upon filing. The Exchange states that such waiver will 
enable the Exchange to start the process to reorganize the rulebooks of 
the Nasdaq Entities. The Commission believes that waiver of the 30-day 
operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the 
public interest because the proposal does not raise any novel issues 
and waiver will allow the Exchange to begin the reorganization of its 
Rulebook without delay. Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the 
operative delay and designates the proposed rule change operative upon 
filing.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \10\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay, 
the Commission also has considered the proposed rule's impact on 
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule 
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
