The U.S. Department of Justice has asked Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. (NDAQ) for more detail on the company's proposed takeover of NYSE Euronext (NYX), following an additional request for information last week.

Antitrust authorities in Washington on Friday sought "additional information and documentary material" from Nasdaq OMX after initially seeking such materials last Wednesday, according to a regulatory filing by the exchange operator Monday.

The move signals progress in efforts by Nasdaq OMX and IntercontinentalExchange Inc. (ICE), its partner in a joint proposal to buy NYSE Euronext, to ensure that regulators' review of Nasdaq's approach keeps pace with the Big Board's agreed deal to merge with Deutsche Boerse AG (DB1.XE, DBOEF).

Spokesmen for Nasdaq OMX and NYSE Euronext had no immediate comment.
