NASD a conforming initial $20.00 CRD
Branch Office System Processing Fee
and a conforming $20.00 CRD Annual
Branch Office System Processing Fee in
connection with branch offices
processed via Form BR through the CRD
system. These fees would be included

these branch office system processing
fees is to recover the cost to NASD of
developing and implementing the Form
BR as well as for ongoing branch office
system maintenance and enhancements.

proposed rule change is consistent with
the requirements of the Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder
applicable to a national securities
exchange, and in particular, with the
requirements of Section 6(b)(4) of the
Act,15 which requires the rules of an
Exchange to provide for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees and
other charges among its members, and
issuers and other persons using its
facilities.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange believes that the
proposed rule change does not impose
any burden on competition 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
