Nasdaq ISE has filed a proposed rule change with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to delay the implementation of changes to their Options Regulatory Fee (ORF). Originally set to take effect earlier, the new ORF and its methodology will now be implemented on June 1, 2025, and will last until December 1, 2025. The SEC is inviting comments from the public concerning this proposed change, and submissions should be made by March 4, 2025. Interested parties can provide feedback through the SEC's online comment form or via email.
