Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 101 / Thursday, May 26, 2005 / Notices
• The text of IM–11890–2 would be
amended to reflect the proposed use of
panels of one or more members 16 of the
MORC for purposes of reviewing
determinations under proposed NASD
Rule 11890(a)(2)(C) that a transaction is
not eligible for review.
• The rule would be amended to
provide that adjudication of a complaint
or an appeal is not required if the party
submitting the complaint or appeal
withdraws it prior to the notification of
counterparties.
• The rule would be amended to
provide that appeals are focused solely
on trades to which the party submitting
the appeal is a party. Thus, for example,
if Broker A submits a complaint
regarding two separate trades with
Broker B and Broker C, the trades are
broken, and Broker B appeals but Broker
C does not, the appeal would focus
solely on the trade between Broker A
and Broker B.
• The rule currently provides that
facsimile machines are the preferred
method for submitting materials
regarding clearly erroneous
adjudications. Nasdaq proposes to
amend the rule to provide that parties
should use such telecommunications
methods as are announced from time to
time through an NASD Notice to
Members or a Nasdaq Head Trader
Alert. Pursuant to this change, Nasdaq
proposes to make electronic mail the
preferred method, and may, in the
future, develop a web-based form for
use in submitting complaints and
appeals. In light of the upcoming
retirement of the Nasdaq Workstation II
Service, Nasdaq is also proposing to
replace a reference to that service with
a more general reference to Nasdaq
telecommunications protocols.
• Cross references in the rule would
be amended to reflect preferred NASD
style, and references to the ‘‘Committee’’
would be replaced with references to
the ‘‘MORC.’’
2. Statutory Basis
Nasdaq believes that the proposed
rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A of the Act,17
in general, and with Section 15A(b)(6)
of the Act,18 in particular, in that it is
designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and
open market and a national market
system, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest.

Nasdaq believes that the proposed rule
change would provide market
participants with clearer information
about Nasdaq’s requirements for filing a
clearly erroneous petition. In Nasdaq’s
view, this in turn would ensure that
Nasdaq staff and the MORC would have
more complete information when
adjudicating a clearly erroneous
petition, and would also provide
Nasdaq staff with clearer bases for
rejecting clearly erroneous petitions that
fail to provide complete information or
that relate to transactions at prices
sufficiently close to the inside market
that they should not be deemed clearly
erroneous.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
Nasdaq 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
Within 35 days of the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register or within such longer period (i)
as the Commission may designate up to
90 days of such date if it finds such
longer period to be appropriate and
publishes its reasons for so finding or
(ii) as to which the self-regulatory
organization consents, the Commission
will:
A. By order approve such proposed
rule change, or
B. Institute proceedings to determine
whether the proposed rule change
should be disapproved.
