Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 32 / Thursday, February 19, 2009 / Notices
DTC–2008–06 pursuant to Section
19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (‘‘Act’’).1 Notice of the proposal
was published in the Federal Register
on August 18, 2008.2 The Commission
received no comment letters. For the
reasons discussed below, the
Commission is approving the proposed
rule change as amended.
II. Description
DTC is modifying its end of day
settlement procedures relating to
settlement acknowledgement cut-off
time frames for Settling Banks.3
DTC’s End-of-Day Settlement
Processing controls and coordinates the
settling of Participant accounts and
Settling Bank accounts on DTC’s
systems. Settlement occurs through the
Fedwire system and is initiated when
DTC posts final figures for Participants
and Settling Banks. Although the actual
settlement process begins with the
posting of the final settlement figures at
approximately 3:45 p.m. each day,4
DTC’s settlement system provides
Participants and Settling Banks with
online reports throughout the
processing day. These reports reflect
gross debits, gross credits, and the net
debit or credit for each Participant and
a net-net figure for each Settling Bank.
Settling Banks, which settle for
themselves, may also settle for other
Participants. Currently, the cut-off time
for Settling Banks to acknowledge their
net-net settlement balance or to refuse to
settle for a specific Participant is the
later of 4:30 p.m. or 30 minutes after
final net-net settlement balances are first
made available by DTC.5 Any
Participant for which a Settling Bank
has refused to settle must make
arrangements for payment of any
amount due DTC.
Once the Settling Bank
acknowledgement process has been
completed, DTC utilizes the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York’s National
Settlement Service (‘‘NSS’’) to effect
end-of-day cash settlement.
DTC is proposing that the cut-off time
for Settling Banks to acknowledge their
settlement balance or refusal to settle for
a Participant be the later of 4:15 p.m. or
1 15
U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
Exchange Act Release No. 58343
(August 12, 2008), 73 FR 48259.
3 The term ‘‘Settling Bank’’ means a Participant
which is a bank or trust company, subject to
supervision or regulation pursuant to Federal or
State banking laws, which is a party to an effective
Settling Bank Agreement.
4 All times are Eastern Standard Time.
5 The end-of-day net-net figure is the net of all
participants’ net balances after cross endorsement
with the National Securities Clearing Corporation
for which a Settling Bank settles, including its own
accounts.

30 minutes after DTC has posted final
net-net settlement balances. DTC is
proposing this change to enable DTC to
be in a position to release the credit
amount due Participants at an earlier
time. Since DTC provides each Settling
Bank with online reports throughout the
processing day which reflect gross
debits, gross credits, and the net debit
or credit for each Participant and a netnet figure for the Settling Bank, DTC
believes that this earlier cut-off time
should not cause any undo burden. In
the event that a Settling Bank is
experiencing difficulty in identifying
customer cash flows or has another
extenuating circumstance and as a result
needs more time to acknowledge
settlement or refuses to settle, that
Settling Bank would have to notify the
Settlement department of its request for
additional time prior to 4:15 p.m.
III. Discussion
Section 19(b) of the Act directs the
Commission to approve a proposed rule
change of a self-regulatory organization
if it finds that such proposed rule
change is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder applicable to
such organization. Section 17A(b)(3)(F)
of the Act requires that the rules of a
clearing agency be designed to promote
the prompt and accurate clearance and
settlement of securities transactions.6
The Commission believes that DTC’s
rule change is consistent with this
Section because the rule change should
facilitate the prompt and accurate
clearance and settlement of securities by
enabling DTC to send the NSS file to the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York
earlier in the day and thus complete
settlement earlier.
IV. Conclusion
On the basis of the foregoing, the
Commission finds that the proposed
rule change, as amended, is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and in
particular Section 17A of the Act and
the rules and regulations thereunder.7
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act, that the
proposed rule change (File No. SR–
DTC–2008–06) as amended be and
hereby is approved.
U.S.C. 78q–1(b)(3)(F).
approving the proposed rule change, as
amended, the Commission considered the
proposal’s impact on efficiency, competition, and
capital formation.
For the Commission by the Division of
Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated
authority.8

Deputy Secretary.

participant having that issuer’s
securities credited as of a selected date
to its participant account (i.e., ‘‘security
position’’) and (2) the quantity of
securities so credited. DTC also
provides SPR information to trustees
and other authorized third-party agents.
These entities typically need SPR
information provided by DTC in order
to properly conduct proxy, record date,
and voting rights-related functions.
Several types of SPRs are available:
(1) Weekly reports that show daily
closing positions during that week; (2)
monthly reports that show closing
positions on the last business day of the
month; (3) quarterly dividend record
date reports that show closing positions
on the dividend record date; and (4)
7717
special requests that show closing
positions for the date specified. Weekly,
monthly, and quarterly record date
reports are available by annual
subscription only.
DTC charges a fee for each SPR and
offers discounts for high volume SPR
service users.
Currently, the fee charged to issuers
or trustees for SPRs are as follows:

Self-Regulatory Organizations;
Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Order Approving
Proposed Rule Change To Amend
NASD Interpretive Material (IM) 2110–2
(Trading Ahead of Customer Limit
Order)
February 11, 2009.
I. Introduction
On December 17, 2008, Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(‘‘FINRA’’) (f/k/a National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc. (‘‘NASD’’))
filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant
to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule
19b–4 thereunder,2 a proposed rule
change to amend NASD Interpretive
Material (IM) 2110–2 (Trading Ahead of
Customer Limit Order) with respect to
the determination of the minimum price
improvement obligation in an OTC
equity security priced below $1.00
where there is no published current
inside spread or there is only a onesided quote. The proposed rule change
was published for comment in the
Federal Register on December 31,
2008.3 The Commission received no
comment letters on the proposed rule
change.
II. Description of the Proposed Rule
Change
IM–2110–2 (commonly referred to as
the ‘‘Manning Rule’’) generally prohibits
a member from trading for its own
account at prices that would satisfy a
customer’s limit order unless the
member immediately thereafter executes
the customer limit order at the price at
which it traded for its own account or
at a better price. Under amendments to
IM–2110–2 that the Commission
approved on September 12, 2008,4 and
that became effective on November 11,
2008,5 IM–2110–2 sets forth the
minimum level of price improvement,
depending on the price of the customer
limit order, that a member must provide
in order to trade ahead of an unexecuted
customer limit order without triggering

the protections provided by the
Manning Rule.
The minimum price improvement
tiers set forth in IM–2110–2 are as
follows:
(1) For customer limit orders priced
greater than or equal to $1.00, the
minimum amount of price improvement
required is $0.01 for NMS stocks and
the lesser of $0.01 or one-half (1⁄2) of the
current inside spread for OTC equity
securities;
(2) For customer limit orders priced
greater than or equal to $.01 and less
than $1.00, the minimum amount of
price improvement required is the lesser
of $0.01 or one-half (1⁄2) of the current
inside spread;
(3) For customer limit orders priced
less than $.01 but greater than or equal
to $0.001, the minimum amount of price
improvement required is the lesser of
$0.001 or one-half (1⁄2) of the current
inside spread;
(4) For customer limit orders priced
less than $.001 but greater than or equal
to $0.0001, the minimum amount of
price improvement required is the lesser
of $0.0001 or one-half (1⁄2) of the current
inside spread;
(5) For customer limit orders priced
less than $.0001 but greater than or
equal to $0.00001, the minimum
amount of price improvement required
is the lesser of $0.00001 or one-half (1⁄2)
of the current inside spread;
(6) For customer limit orders priced
less than $.00001, the minimum amount
of price improvement required is the
lesser of $0.000001 or one-half (1⁄2) of
the current inside spread; and
(7) For customer limit orders priced
outside the best inside market, the
minimum amount of price improvement
required must either meet the
requirements set forth above or the
member must trade at a price at or
inside the best inside market for the
security.
Therefore, if a firm is holding a
customer limit order to buy priced at
$.75 and the applicable minimum price
improvement standard is $.01, the firm
would be permitted to buy at $.76 or
higher without triggering the
requirements of IM–2110–2.
The proposed rule change is intended
to provide members with an alternative
method of calculating the minimum
price improvement in cases where a
member receives a limit order for an
OTC equity security priced below $1.00
and there is no quoted market. The
minimum price-improvement standards
are either a fixed amount as noted above
or one-half (1⁄2) of the current inside
spread. However, where there is no
current inside spread, the minimum
price-improvement standard defaults to

Item IV below. DTC has prepared summaries, set forth in sections (A),
(B), and (C) below, of the most significant aspects of these
statements.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

prepared by DTC.

(A) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
An SPR is a report prepared by DTC showing for an issuer whose
securities are eligible for DTC's book entry
[[Page 7717]]
services (1) the identity of each DTC participant having that issuer's
securities credited as of a selected date to its participant account
(i.e., ``security position'') and (2) the quantity of securities so

closing positions on the last business day of the month; (3) quarterly
dividend record date reports that show closing positions on the
dividend record date; and (4) special requests that show closing
positions for the date specified. Weekly, monthly, and quarterly record
date reports are available by annual subscription only.
DTC charges a fee for each SPR and offers discounts for high volume
SPR service users.
Currently, the fee charged to issuers or trustees for SPRs are as
follows:

Fax, Spreadsheet and Extra copy charges are currently billed in
addition to subscription and special request charges. DTC is proposing
to improve processing efficiencies by eliminating the separate billing
of Fax, Spreadsheet, and Extra Copy charges for weekly and monthly
subscriptions, as well as dividend record date reports, and by
incorporating the cost of delivering those ``additional'' services into
the subscription charge for the particular report ordered. Fees for

would remain unchanged. Therefore, DTC proposes to adopt revised SPR
fees as follows:

minimum subscription security issue, plus a one time charge
required). of $1400 per additional copy/recipient

additional security for the same issuer,
plus a one time charge of $575 per

minimum subscription security issue, plus a one time charge
required). of $300 per additional copy/recipient
for that security issue.
$225.00 per year for each
additional security for the same issuer,
plus a one time charge of $225 per
additional copy/recipient.
Dividend Record Date Report $150 per year; one year minimum
