SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-83887]


Order Granting Applications by Nasdaq ISE, LLC, Nasdaq GEMX, LLC, 
and Nasdaq MRX, LLC for Exemption Pursuant to Section 36(a) of the 
Exchange Act From the Rule Filing Requirements of Section 19(b) of the 
Exchange Act With Respect to Certain Rules Incorporated by Reference

August 20, 2018.
    Nasdaq ISE, LLC (``ISE''), Nasdaq GEMX, LLC (``GEMX''), and Nasdaq 
MRX, LLC (``MRX'') (each, a ``Nasdaq Exchange,'' and collectively, the 
``Nasdaq Exchanges'') have filed with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission'') an application for an exemption under 
Section 36(a)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange 
Act'') \1\ from the rule filing requirements of Section 19(b) of the 
Exchange Act \2\ with respect to certain rules of Nasdaq BX, Inc. 
(``BX''), an affiliate of the Nasdaq Exchanges, that the Nasdaq 
Exchanges seek to incorporate by reference.\3\ Section 36 of the 
Exchange Act authorizes the Commission to conditionally or 
unconditionally exempt any person, security, or transaction, or any 
class thereof, from any provision of the Exchange Act or rule 
thereunder, if necessary or appropriate in the public interest and 
consistent with the protection of investors.

Counsel, Nasdaq Inc., to Brent Fields, Secretary, Commission, dated 
July 16, 2018 (``Exemptive Request'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Recently, the Nasdaq Exchanges each filed a proposed rule change 
\4\ under Section 19(b) of the Exchange Act to largely replace their 
existing investigatory, disciplinary, and adjudicatory rules with those 
contained in the BX Rule 8000 and 9000 Series, as such rules may be in 
effect from time to time. In the proposed rule changes, the Nasdaq 
Exchanges proposed to incorporate by reference the BX Rule 8000 and 
9000 Series into new Chapters 80 and 90 of their respective rulebooks, 
and thus make these BX Rules applicable to their members, associated 
persons, and other persons subject to their jurisdiction. When the 
proposed rule changes become operative, Nasdaq Exchange members, 
associated persons, and other persons subject to the jurisdiction of 
the Nasdaq Exchanges will be required to comply with the BX Rule 8000 
and 9000 Series as though such rules are fully set forth within each of 
the Nasdaq Exchange's rulebooks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2018) (SR-ISE-2018-59); 83704 (July 25, 2018) (SR-GEMX-2018-24); and 
83705 (July 25, 2018) (SR-MRX-2018-23).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Nasdaq Exchanges have requested, pursuant to Rule 0-12 under 
the Exchange Act,\5\ that the Commission grant the Nasdaq Exchanges an 
exemption from the rule filing requirements of Section 19(b) of the 
Exchange Act for changes to each of the Nasdaq Exchange's rules that 
are effected solely by virtue of a change to the BX Rule 8000 and 9000 
Series that are incorporated by reference. Specifically, the Nasdaq 
Exchanges request that they be permitted to incorporate by reference 
changes made to the BX Rule 8000 and 9000 Series that are cross-
referenced in each of the Nasdaq Exchange's rules, without the need for 
each Nasdaq Exchange to file separately the same proposed rule changes 
pursuant to Section 19(b) of the Exchange Act.\6\

[[Page 42723]]

    The Nasdaq Exchanges represent that the BX Rule 8000 and 9000 
Series are not trading rules. Moreover, the Nasdaq Exchanges state that 
in each instance, the Nasdaq Exchanges propose to incorporate by 
reference categories of rules (rather than individual rules within a 
category) that are regulatory in nature. The Nasdaq Exchanges will, as 
a condition of this exemption, provide written notice to their members 
whenever BX proposes a change to its Rule 8000 and 9000 Series.\7\ Such 
notice will alert the members of each Nasdaq Exchange to the proposed 
rule change and give them an opportunity to comment on the proposal. 
The Nasdaq Exchanges state that they will also inform members in 
writing when the Commission approves any such proposed changes.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The Nasdaq Exchanges state that they will provide such 
notice on their websites in the same section they use to post their 
own proposed rule change filings pursuant to Rule 19b-4(l) within 
the timeframe required by such Rule. In addition, the Nasdaq 
Exchanges state that their website will also include a link to the 
BX website where the proposed rule change filings are located. Id. 
at 3.
    \8\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Nasdaq Exchanges believe this exemption is necessary and 
appropriate, because it will result in the Nasdaq Exchanges' rules 
being consistent with the relevant cross-referenced BX rules at all 
times, thus ensuring that the Nasdaq Exchanges and BX maintain a 
harmonious system of investigating, disciplining, and adjudicating the 
rights of their respective members, associated persons, and other 
persons subject to their jurisdiction. Without such an exemption, 
members of the Nasdaq Exchanges and BX could become subject to 
different standards for investigations and disciplinary actions.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Id. at 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission has issued exemptions similar to the Nasdaq 
Exchanges' request.\10\ In granting one such exemption in 2010, the 
Commission repeated a prior, 2004 Commission statement that it would 
consider similar future exemption requests from other self-regulatory 
organizations (``SROs''), provided that:

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

     An SRO wishing to incorporate rules of another SRO by 
reference has submitted a written request for an order exempting it 
from the requirement in Section 19(b) of the Exchange Act to file 
proposed rule changes relating to the rules incorporated by reference, 
has identified the applicable originating SRO(s), together with the 
rules it wants to incorporate by reference, and otherwise has complied 
with the procedural requirements set forth in the Commission's release 
governing procedures for requesting exemptive orders pursuant to Rule 
0-12 under the Exchange Act; \11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See 17 CFR 240.0-12 and Securities Exchange Act Release No. 
39624 (February 5, 1998), 63 FR 8101 (February 18, 1998) 
(``Commission Procedures for Filing Applications for Orders for 
Exemptive Relief Pursuant to Section 36 of the Exchange Act; Final 
Rule'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The incorporating SRO has requested incorporation of 
categories of rules (rather than individual rules within a category) 
that are not trading rules (e.g., the SRO has requested incorporation 
of rules such as margin, suitability, or arbitration); and
     The incorporating SRO has reasonable procedures in place 
to provide written notice to its members each time a change is proposed 
to the incorporated rules of another SRO.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See BATS Options Market Order, supra note 10 (citing 
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 49260 (February 17, 2004), 69 FR 
8500 (February 24, 2004) (order granting exemptive request relating 
to rules incorporated by reference by several SROs) (``2004 
Order'')).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that the Nasdaq Exchanges have satisfied 
each of these conditions. The Commission also believes that granting 
the Nasdaq Exchanges an exemption from the rule filing requirements 
under Section 19(b) of the Exchange Act will promote efficient use of 
Commission and Nasdaq Exchange resources by avoiding duplicative rule 
filings based on simultaneous changes to identical rule text sought by 
more than one SRO.\13\ The Commission therefore finds it appropriate in 
the public interest and consistent with the protection of investors to 
exempt the Nasdaq Exchanges from the rule filing requirements under 
Section 19(b) of the Exchange Act with respect to the above-described 
rules they have incorporated by reference. This exemption is 
conditioned upon the Nasdaq Exchanges promptly providing written notice 
to their members whenever the BX changes a rule that the Nasdaq 
Exchanges have incorporated by reference.

    \13\ See BATS Options Market Order, supra note 10, 75 FR at 
8761; see also 2004 Order, supra note 12, 69 FR at 8502.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Accordingly, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 36 of the Exchange 
Act,\14\ that the Nasdaq Exchanges are exempt from the rule filing 
requirements of Section 19(b) of the Exchange Act solely with respect 
to changes to the rules identified in their request that incorporate by 
reference certain BX rules that are the result of changes to such BX 
rules, provided that the Nasdaq Exchanges promptly provide written 
notice to their members whenever the BX proposes to change a rule that 
the Nasdaq Exchanges have incorporated by reference.
