Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 34 / Tuesday, February 22, 2005 / Notices
NASD believes that the guidance
provided in NtM 05–11 constitutes an
interpretation of section 3 of Schedule
A to the NASD By-Laws that, due to its
nature, should be filed as a proposed
rule change. In addition, NASD also is
filing its Permanent Self-Reporting Form
with the Commission.5 A copy of the
Permanent Self-Reporting Form will be
attached to NtM 05–11. NASD has
revised its Permanent Self-Reporting
Form to: (1) Incorporate the new rate
structure that became effective on
January 7, 2005 (in conformity with the
change to the Commission’s Section 31
fee rate); (2) incorporate minor changes
to the instructions section; and (3)
create an obligation on certain member
firms to file the Permanent SelfReporting Form each month (regardless
of whether they have any reportable
transactions).
2. Statutory Basis
NASD believes that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the provisions
of section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,6 which
requires, among other things, that
NASD’s rules must be designed to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative
acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, and, in
general, to protect investors and the
public interest. In addition, NASD
believes that the proposed rule change
is consistent with the provisions of
section 15A(b)(5) of the Act,7 which
requires, among other things, that
NASD’s rules provide for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and
other charges among members and
issuers and other persons using any
facility or system that NASD operates or
controls, insofar as it is intended to
assist members in complying with
section 3 of Schedule A to the NASD
By-Laws.
5 As
noted in NtM 05–11, clearing and selfclearing member firms will now be required to file
with NASD the Permanent Self-Reporting Form
each month, regardless of whether they have
qualifying transactions for that month. NASD is
requiring a monthly filing by all clearing and selfclearing member firms to ensure that they conduct
the necessary review to determine that all
qualifying transactions have been properly
reported. Member firms that do not have any
reportable transactions for a given month will be
required to submit the blank form signed by an
authorized representative, along with a statement
that the firm had no reportable transactions for the
month. While NASD is filing its Permanent SelfReporting Form with the Commission in this
instance, NASD does not intend to file its
Permanent Self-Reporting Form with the
Commission each time it makes a non-substantive
change to the text of the form or changes that reflect
adjustments in the amount or scope of the fee,
where such adjustments are determined solely by
reference to section 31 of the Act.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
NASD 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.
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 proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to section
19(b)(3)(A)(i) of the Act 8 and Rule 19b–
4(f)(1) thereunder.9 NASD asserts that
the proposed rule change constitutes a
stated policy, practice, or interpretation
with respect to the meaning,
administration, or enforcement of an
existing rule of NASD. NASD will
announce the implementation date of
the proposed rule change in NtM 05–11,
which NASD expects to issue on the
same date as the filing of the proposed
rule change with the Commission. 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.
IV. Solicitation of Comments
Interested persons are invited to
submit written data, views and
arguments concerning the foregoing,
including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act.
Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:
