Statutory Basis NSCC believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of Section 17A of the Act 4 and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to NSCC because the proposed rule change should promote processing efficiencies between investment managers in a managed account program, the sponsors of the program, and the fund companies in which the program assets are invested, thereby facilitating the prompt and accurate processing of securities transactions. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition NSCC does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose 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 No written comments relating to the proposed rule change have been solicited or received. NSCC will notify the Commission of any written comments received by NSCC. mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES III.
