Pursuant to Section 11A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 608 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on March 12, 2026, the Participants \3\ 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 (the ``UTP Plan'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') a proposal to amend the UTP Plan. The
amendment represents the Fifty-Sixth Amendment to the UTP Plan
(``Amendment''). Under the Amendment, the Participants propose to
reflect the new name of Nasdaq BX, Inc. as Nasdaq Texas, Inc. and to
add Texas Stock Exchange LLC (``TSE'') as a Participant to the UTP
Plan.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1(a)(3).
\2\ 17 CFR 242.608.
\3\ The Participants are: Cboe BYX Exchange, Inc., Cboe BZX
Exchange, Inc., Cboe EDGA Exchange, Inc., Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc.,
Cboe Exchange, Inc., Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.,
Investors' Exchange LLC, Long Term Stock Exchange, Inc., MEMX LLC,

\4\ See Letter from Jeff Kimsey, Chair, to Vanessa Countryman,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The proposed Amendment has been filed by the Participants pursuant
to Rule 608(b)(3)(ii) under Regulation
[[Page 16256]]
NMS \5\ as concerned solely with the administration of the UTP Plan and
as a ``Ministerial Amendment'' under Section XVI of the UTP Plan. As a
result, the Amendment can be submitted by the Chair of the UTP Plan's
Operating Committee and becomes effective upon filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ 17 CFR 242.608(b)(3)(ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
Amendment from interested persons. Set forth in Sections I and II is
the statement of the purpose and summary of the Amendment, along with
the information required by Rules 608(a) and 601(a) under the Act, as
prepared and submitted by the Participants.
I. Rule 608(a)
1. Purpose of the Amendments
The above-captioned amendments effectuate a change to reflect the
new name of Nasdaq BX as Nasdaq Texas. The amendment also admits the
Texas Stock Exchange as a Participant to the UTP Plan.
2. Governing or Constituent Documents
No change as result of amendments.
3. Implementation of Amendments
Because the amendment constitutes a ``Ministerial Amendment'' under
Section XVI of the UTP Plan, the Chair of the UTP Plan's Operating
Committee may submit the amendment to the Commission on behalf of the
Participants in the UTP Plan. Because the Participants designate the
amendment as concerned solely with the administration of the UTP Plan,
the amendment becomes effective upon filing with the Commission.
4. Development and Implementation Phases
No change as result of amendments.
5. Analysis of Impact on Competition
The amendment does not impose any burden on competition because
they simply effectuate a change in the name of a Participant and admit
a new Participant to the Plan. For the same reasons, the Participants
do not believe that the amendments introduce terms that are
unreasonably discriminatory for the purposes of Section 11A(c)(1)(D) of
the Exchange Act. The Texas Stock Exchange has completed the required
steps to be added to the UTP Plan.
6. Written Understanding or Agreements Relating to Interpretation of,
or Participation in, Plan
Not applicable.
7. Approval by Sponsors in Accordance With Plan
See Item 3 above.

Dissemination
No change as result of amendments.
