Because CBOE is proposing to merge educational material into the sales literature category,16 this amendment would continue to allow communications that are educational in nature to be disseminated without being preceded or accompanied by a copy of the ODD. The Exchange proposes to redesignate Section D of Interpretation and Policy .04 as proposed Interpretation and Policy .04. The Exchange proposes to delete Sections E and F of Interpretation and Policy .04. The Exchange believes Section E is unnecessary because worksheets are included in the definition of ‘‘Sales Literature.’’ The Exchange believes Section F is no longer necessary because the Exchange is proposing to clarify the record-keeping requirements applicable to options communications in proposed Rule 9.21(b)(iv). 2. Statutory Basis The proposed amendments to Exchange Rule 9.21 would reflect the exemption from the provisions of the Securities Act (other than the anti-fraud provisions) for standardized options that are traded on a registered national securities exchange or on a registered national securities association and would update and reorganize the rule. The proposed amendments to Exchange Rule 9.21 are consistent with Section 6(b) of the Exchange Act 17 in general and would further the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) 18 in particular in that they are 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 by providing the investing public with options communications rules that are designed to provide appropriate safeguards and greater clarity by promoting harmonization between CBOE’s and other SROs’ options communications rules. mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition CBOE does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of purposes of the Exchange Act. 16 See Proposed Rule 9.21(a)(ii).

(‘‘FINRA’’) (f/k/a National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change FINRA Dispute Resolution is proposing to amend the Uniform Submission Agreement (‘‘USA’’), which parties must sign prior to entering into arbitration, and certain rules of the Code of Arbitration Procedure for Customer Disputes (‘‘Customer Code’’) and the Code of Arbitration Procedure for Industry Disputes (‘‘Industry Code’’) that contain references to the agreement. The proposed revisions to the USA would: (1) Clarify what the parties are attesting to when they execute the USA; (2) require parties to indicate in what capacity they are signing the agreement; (3) convert the USA to a FINRA-specific 10 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). 2 17 CFR 240.19b-4. 1 15 VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:00 Jul 15, 2008 Jkt 214001 In its filing with the Commission, FINRA included statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. FINRA has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections (A), (B), and (C) below, of the most significant aspects of such statements. (A) Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change (a) Purpose The USA is an agreement that claimants and respondents (hereinafter, collectively referred to as ‘‘parties’’) must sign prior to entering into arbitration. Rule 12302(a) of the Customer Code and Rule 13302(a) of the Industry Code require a claimant to file a signed and dated USA and a statement of claim to initiate an arbitration. Similarly, Rule 12303(a) of the Customer Code and Rule 13303(a) of the Industry Code require a respondent to directly serve each other party with a signed and dated USA and an answer within 45 days of receipt of the statement of claim. By signing the USA, the parties agree to submit to the arbitration process, and to be bound by the determination that may be rendered by the arbitrator(s). FINRA proposes to amend the USA to: (1) Clarify what the parties are attesting to when they execute the agreement; (2) require parties to indicate in what capacity they are signing the agreement; (3) convert it to a FINRAspecific agreement; and (4) use plain English to make the agreement easier to read. FINRA also proposes to amend the rules of the Customer Code and the Industry Code that refer to the USA. First, FINRA proposes to amend paragraph 2 of the USA to clarify what PO 00000 Frm 00061 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 the parties are attesting to when they execute the agreement. Currently, this section states that the parties have read the procedures and rules relating to arbitration. FINRA understands that few investors who are represented by counsel actually read the relevant selfregulatory organization (SRO) rules (such as the Customer Code). Rather, in most cases, these investors are relying on their attorneys or other representatives to know the rules. Thus, some investors have been reluctant to sign a statement that they have read all the relevant rules. In light of these concerns, FINRA is proposing to amend paragraph 2 to permit parties to certify that they or their representatives read the relevant procedures and rules and that the parties agree to be bound by them. FINRA believes that the provision as proposed to be amended would reflect more accurately what the parties are attesting to when they execute the USA. The new language would make clear that the parties themselves are bound by the procedures and rules, whether or not they read them personally. Second, FINRA proposes to require that parties indicate in what capacity they are signing the agreement. Because the USA is a contract between the parties and FINRA’s dispute resolution forum, FINRA must ensure that the parties entering the agreement have the authority or standing to sign the agreement. In those cases in which the signatory is not an individually named party, the signatory must state the capacity in which he or she is acting if other than an individual and sign in that capacity, so that FINRA can determine from the statement of claim and other supporting information whether he or she is authorized to enter the agreement. For example, a person signing as the trustee of a family trust would sign his or her name exactly as shown on the trust documents and then write ‘‘Trustee’’ on the line below the instruction ‘‘State Capacity if other than individual (example: Executor, Trustee, Corporate Officer).’’ This change would simply formalize an existing practice. Currently, if a party fails to sign the USA in the capacity in which he or she is submitting the claim, FINRA classifies the claim as deficient, which can delay the arbitration and increase the party’s costs. FINRA believes that the proposed change would clarify how the agreement must be signed, and should help expedite the processing of claims, thereby minimizing unnecessary delays and expenses that parties could incur. Third, FINRA proposes to convert the USA into a FINRA-specific agreement. E:\FR\FM\16JYN1.SGM 16JYN1

    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder \2\ notice is hereby given that 
on April 30, 2007, The Depository Trust Company (``DTC'') filed with 
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), and on 
February 7, 2008, and March 18, 2008, amended, the proposed rule change 
described in Items I, II, and III below, which items have been prepared 
primarily by DTC. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit 
comments on the proposed rule change from interested parties.

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The proposed rule change seeks to amend the applicant 
disqualification criteria contained in DTC's rules in an effort to 
harmonize them with similar rules of DTC's affiliates, National 
Securities Clearing Corporation

[[Page 40889]]

(``NSCC'') and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (``FICC'').

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, DTC included statements 
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and 
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The 
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in 
Item IV below. DTC has prepared summaries, set forth in sections (A), 
(B), and (C) below, of the most significant aspects of these 
statements.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Commission has modified the text of the summaries 
prepared by DTC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(A) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

(1) Statutory Disqualification
    DTC Rule 2 sets forth the basic standards for the admission of DTC 
Participants and defines certain criteria that may disqualify an 
applicant from participation. While the factors that may disqualify an 
applicant are generally consistent among DTC, FICC, and NSCC rules, 
DTC's rules do not specifically reference an order of statutory 
disqualification as defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Act \4\ among 
its disqualification criteria.\5\ To promote uniformity among the rules 
of DTC and its affiliates, DTC is proposing to add such a provision to 
its rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(39).
    \5\ As a clearing agency registered under the Act, DTC must 
evaluate those members subject to an order of statutory 
disqualification as defined in the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) Associated Persons
    DTC rules include applicant disqualification criteria for persons 
and/or entities ``associated'' with the applicant firm. Because it is 
not easily ascertainable as to what entities or individuals are 
``associated'' with a particular entity, DTC is proposing to amend 
these provisions in its rules so that they are consistent with internal 
surveillance procedures. DTC proposes to change references to persons 
``associated'' with the applicant to references to ``controlling 
management,'' which shall be defined to mean the Chief Executive 
Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Operating Officer, or their 
equivalents. These are the officers that are currently screened by 
DTC's risk management pursuant to internal procedures. Finally, DTC 
proposes to add language to its rules that would require applicants to 
inform DTC as to any member of its controlling management that is or 
becomes subject to statutory disqualification.
(3) Amendment to Willful Violation
    DTC rules currently include as a disqualification criterion the 
applicant's or an associated person's ``willful'' violation of the 
Securities Act of 1933,\6\ the Act, the Investment Company Act of 
1940,\7\ the Investment Advisors Act of 1940,\8\ or any rule or 
regulation promulgated thereunder. DTC proposes to remove the word 
``willful'' from this provision because DTC believes that any violation 
of these provisions should be a disqualification criterion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 80b-1 et seq.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Changes similar to those outlined in sections (1), (2), and (3) 
above will be made to DTC Rule 10, ``Discretionary Termination.''
    DTC believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the 
requirements of Section 17A of the Act \9\ and the rules and 
regulations thereunder because the proposed changes provide 
transparency with respect to the applicant and member disqualification 
criteria in DTC rules and uniformity with NSCC and FICC rules and 
thereby promote the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of 
securities transactions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(B) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    DTC does not believe that the proposed rule change will have any 
impact or impose any burden on competition.

(C) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the 
Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    Written comments relating to the proposed rule change have not been 
solicited or received. DTC will notify the Commission of any written 
comments received by DTC.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 
Commission Action

    Within thirty-five 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 ninety days of such date if it finds 
such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so

the Commission will:

    (B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule 
change should be disapproved.
