Download as PDF 68614 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 233 / Wednesday, December 5, 2007 / Notices Federal Register on October 29, 2007.3 The Commission received one comment letter, which expressed support for the proposed rule change.4 This order approves the proposed rule change, as amended. mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES II. Description of the Proposal Rule 342 (‘‘Offices—Approval, Supervision and Control’’) prescribes the Exchange’s general supervisory requirements for member organizations. Among the requirements, Rule 342.13 (‘‘Acceptability of Supervisors’’) sets forth the Exchange’s qualification standards for personnel delegated supervisory responsibility. Before 2001, this provision provided, in part, that a person delegated supervisory responsibility must pass the General Securities Sales Supervisor Qualification Examination (‘‘Series 9/10 Examination’’) or an historical equivalent (i.e., the Series 8 Examination). In 2002, the Exchange amended Rule 342.13 5 to recognize the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (‘‘NASD’’)’s 6 General Securities Principal Examination (‘‘Series 24 Examination’’), if taken and passed after July 1, 2001, as an alternative to the Series 9/10 Examination requirement for persons whose duties did not include supervision of options or municipal securities sales activities.7 At that time, the Exchange represented that NASD, as of July 2, 2001, had enhanced the Series 24 Examination by including test questions sufficient to provide appropriate coverage of the NYSE Rules. The Commission approved the proposed rule change on October 17, 2002.8 The Exchange is now proposing to amend Rule 342.13 to eliminate the requirement that the Series 24 Examination be passed after July 1, 2001 in order for it to be an acceptable alternative to the Series 9/10 Examination.9 3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56686 (October 23, 2007), 72 FR 61193 (October 29, 2007) (the ‘‘Notice’’). 4 See letter from Marian H. Desilets, President, Association of Registration Management, Inc. to Nancy M.

(‘‘FINRA’’). 7 The Series 24 Examination does not address these activities. 8 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 46631 (October 9, 2002), 67 FR 64187 (October 17, 2002) (order approving SR–NYSE–2002–24). See also NYSE Information Memo 02–51 (November 12, 2002). 9 Prospectively, persons may continue to qualify to supervise options or municipal securities sales VerDate Aug<31>2005 19:05 Dec 04, 2007 Jkt 214001 III. Discussion and Commission Findings The Commission has carefully reviewed the proposed rule change and finds that it is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange.10 In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with section 6(b)(5) of the Act,11 which, among other things, requires that the rules of a national securities exchange be designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating transactions in securities, 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. The Commission believes that the proposed amendment to NYSE’s rules to eliminate the requirement that the Series 24 Examination be passed after July 1, 2001 in order for it to be recognized as an acceptable alternative to the Series 9/10 Examination is consistent with the Act. The Commission notes that the NYSE and the NASD rulebooks have converged significantly in the last six years. Thus, the persons who took the Series 24 before July 1, 2001 have been subject to regulatory standards that have, to a large degree, been harmonized.12 Further, persons who took the Series 24 Examination before July 1, 2001 have been subject to regulatory and firm element continuing education,13 which provides ongoing training with respect to current regulatory requirements, including NYSE Rules, applicable to duties and responsibilities of those persons. In addition, the Commission believes that the proposed amendment furthers the goals of the Exchange’s and FINRA’s continuing Rule Harmonization Initiative 14 in that it should result in activity by taking and passing the Series 24 Examination and also taking and passing the Registered Options Principal (Series 4) and/or Municipal Securities Principal (Series 53) examinations. 10 In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has considered the proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 11 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). 12 Convergence between the NYSE Rules and FINRA Rules has included, in part, standards relating to anti-money laundering, supervision, research and internal controls, etc. 13 See NYSE Rule 345A. 14 The purpose of the Rule Harmonization Initiative is to achieve, to the extent practicable, substantive harmonization of the two regulatory PO 00000 Frm 00062 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 more closely aligned requirements under Rule 342.13 and the corresponding supervisory requirements under FINRA’s regulatory scheme.15 IV. Conclusion It is therefore ordered, pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the Act,16 that the proposed rule change, as amended (SR– NYSE–2007–53), be, and hereby is, approved. For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.17 Florence E. Harmon, Deputy Secretary. [FR Doc.

It provides a statutory framework for the President to impose sanctions against significant foreign narcotics traffickers and their organizations on a worldwide basis, with the objective of denying their businesses and agents access to the U.S. financial system and to the benefits of trade and transactions involving U.S. companies and individuals.

Background

    The Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (``Kingpin Act'') 
became law on December 3, 1999. The Kingpin Act establishes a program 
targeting the activities of significant foreign narcotics traffickers 
and their organizations on a worldwide basis. It provides a statutory 
framework for the President to impose sanctions against significant 
foreign narcotics traffickers and their organizations on a worldwide 
basis, with the objective of denying their businesses and agents access 
to the U.S. financial system and to the benefits of trade and 
transactions involving U.S. companies and individuals.
    The Kingpin Act blocks all property and interests in property, 
subject to U.S. jurisdiction, owned or controlled by significant 
foreign narcotics traffickers as identified by the President. In 
addition, the Kingpin Act blocks the property and interests in 
property, subject to U.S. jurisdiction, of foreign persons designated 
by the Secretary of Treasury, in consultation with the Attorney 
General, the Director of Central Intelligence, the Director of the 
Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Administrator of the Drug 
Enforcement Administration, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of 
State, and the Secretary of Homeland Security who are found to be: (1) 
Materially assisting in, or providing financial or technological 
support for or to, or providing goods or services in support of, the 
international narcotics trafficking activities of a person designated 
pursuant to the Kingpin Act; (2) owned, controlled, or directed by, or 
acting for or on behalf of, a person designated pursuant to the Kingpin 
Act; or (3) playing a significant role in international narcotics 
trafficking.
    On November 27, 2007, OFAC designated nine additional individuals 
and thirteen additional entities whose property and interests in 
property are blocked pursuant to section 805(b) of the Foreign 
Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act.
