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 August 17, 2009, NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc. (“BX”) 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 the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule from interested persons.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change

BX is filing a proposed rule change to correct a typographical error in Rule 7018. The text of the proposed rule change is attached as Exhibit 5 ^[3] and is available at http://nasdaqomxbx.cchwallstreet.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, BX 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. BX 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

BX is submitting this filing to correct a typographical error in Rule 7018.^[4] In SR-BX-2009-018,^[5] BX modified its pricing for execution of orders in securities listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) by, among other things, replacing a charge to access liquidity of $0.0014 per share executed with a credit of $0.0006 per share executed. This change was accurately described in the “Purpose” section of BX's Form 19b-4 filing,^[6] in the Commission's notice of the filing on the SEC Web site ^[7] and in the Federal Register,^[8] in widely disseminated announcements of the pricing change,^[9] and in the pricing schedule that appears on BX's market Web site.^[10] However, due to a typographical error, the credit incorrectly appeared as “$0.006” in Exhibit 5 to the filing. Accordingly, BX is submitting this filing to correct the typographical error. BX has been billing members in accordance with the correct fee since the effective date of the change in April 2009, and accordingly believes that all of its members that trade on the NASDAQ OMX BX Equities System are cognizant of the correct fee.

2. Statutory Basis

BX believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,^[11] in general, and with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,^[12] in particular, in that it is designed to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a fee [sic] and open market and a national market system. The proposed rule change corrects a typographical error in BX Rule 7018.

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

BX 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

The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act ^[13] and subparagraph (f)(3) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.^[14] At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate 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.
