Occupational Information Development Advisory Panel Meeting, 22622-22623 [E9-11068]

Download as PDF 22622 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 91 / Wednesday, May 13, 2009 / Notices of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,7 which requires, among other things, that the Association’s rules must be 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. FINRA believes that the proposed rule change will assist in the efficient administration of arbitrations by correcting typographical errors in its rules and ensuring consistent spelling of terms throughout the Codes. FINRA believes these technical, nonsubstantive amendments will enhance the Codes by making them easier to understand and apply. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition FINRA does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others Written comments were neither solicited nor received by FINRA. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 8 and Rule 19b– 4(f)(6) thereunder.9 A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 10 normally does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the filing. However, pursuant to Rule19b– 4(f)(6)(iii),11 the Commission may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. FINRA has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal may become operative immediately upon filing. Such waiver would permit FINRA to implement these changes without delay, making the Codes easier to understand and apply. The Commission believes it is 7 15 U.S.C. 78o–3(b)(6).
