II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission, the
self-regulatory organization 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 those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below.
The Exchange has prepared summaries,
set forth in sections A, B, and C below,
of the most significant parts of such
statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange has recently amended
Exchange Rule 123C to, among other
things, establish a new Closing Offset
(‘‘CO’’) order.3 The CO order is a
conditional-instruction limit order that
is eligible to participate in the closing
transaction to offset an order imbalance
at the close. The CO order is not
guaranteed to participate in the closing
transaction but is eligible to participate
when there is an imbalance of orders to
be executed on the opposite side of the
market from the CO order and there is
no other interest remaining to trade at
the closing price. The Exchange does
not propose to charge transaction fees
with respect to the execution of CO
orders and proposes to amend its 2010
price list to make this policy explicit.
The Exchange will commence using the
CO order type on March 1, 2010.

2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with
the objectives of Section 6 4 of the Act
in general and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(4) 5 in particular, in that it
is designed to provide for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees and
other charges among its members and
other persons using its facilities. The
Exchange believes that the proposal
does not constitute an inequitable
allocation of dues, fees and other

charges, as all Exchange participants
have the ability to enter CO orders.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange 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.

Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
No written comments were solicited

rule change.

upon filing pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) 6 of the Act and Rule 19b–
4(f)(2) 7 thereunder.
At any time within 60 days of the
filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission may summarily abrogate
such rule change if it appears to the
Commission that such action is
necessary or appropriate in the public
interest, for the protection of investors,
or otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act.

prepared primarily by DTC. DTC filed
the proposal pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 2 and Rule
19b–4(f)(4) 3 thereunder so that the
proposal was effective upon filing with
the Commission. 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
The purpose of the proposed rule
change is to modify the registered
transfer agent notification methods for
assumption or termination of services.
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 such statements.4
srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
(A) Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
Rule 17Ad–16 under the Act is
designed to help reduce delays in
securities transfers. The rule requires
registered transfer agents to notify the
appropriate qualified registered
securities depository when the transfer
agent assumes or terminates services on
behalf of an issuer or when the transfer
agent changes its name or address.
In 1995, DTC filed a proposed rule
change with the Commission in which
DTC requested designation as the
appropriate qualified registered
securities depository for purposes of
Rule 17Ad–16 and also sought approval
of its procedures to receive and transmit
such notices. The Commission approved
the rule filing and ordered that DTC be
designated as the appropriate qualified
registered securities depository.5

agents to provide their notices to DTC

by e-mail to DTC’s Transfer Agent
Services Mailbox, by fax, or by mail.
To increase certainty regarding where
transfer agents should direct these
notices to DTC, as well as to reduce
costs and administrative burdens, DTC
proposes modifying its Procedures so
that registered transfer agents would
only notify DTC by sending e-mails to
DTC’s Transfer Agent Services Mailbox.
The proposed changes to DTC’s
Procedures can be found in Exhibit 5 to
proposed rule change SR–DTC–2010–04
at https://www.dtcc.com/downloads/

DTC believes the proposed rule
change is consistent with the
requirements of Section 17A of the Act 6
and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to DTC because
the proposed rule change promotes
efficiencies in the clearance and
settlement of securities transactions by
modifying DTC’s Procedures to expedite
the notification process for transfer
agent changes and decrease transfer
delays.
(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 yet 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
The foregoing rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 7 and Rule
19b–4(f)(4) 8 thereunder because the
proposed rule change effects a change in
an existing service of a registered
clearing agency that: (i) Does not
adversely affect the safeguarding of
securities or funds in the custody or
control of the clearing agency or for
which it is responsible and (ii) does not
significantly affect the respective rights
or obligations of the clearing agency or
persons using the service. At any time
within sixty days of the filing of such
rule change, the Commission may
summarily abrogate such rule change if

In its filing with the Commission,
Nasdaq included statements concerning
the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change. The text of these
statements may be examined at the
places specified in Item IV below, and
is set forth in Sections A, B, and C

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
Nasdaq is proposing to eliminate
erroneous citations found under Rule
9557. Many of Nasdaq’s rules are based
on rules of Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (‘‘FINRA’’). Nasdaq
endeavors to keep these common rules
consistent with the analogous rules of
FINRA, to the extent possible. FINRA
recently adopted new consolidated
financial responsibility rules found
under a new FINRA Rule 4000 series.3
On January 20, 2010, Nasdaq filed a
proposed rule change to make
conforming changes to its rules, which

Restrictions
If a member continues to experience
financial or operational difficulty
specified in Rule 4110A or 4120A [or
4130A], notwithstanding an effective
notice, Nasdaq Regulation staff may
impose additional requirements and/or
restrictions by serving an additional
notice under paragraph (b) of this Rule.
The additional notice shall inform the
member that it may apply for relief from
the additional requirements and/or
restrictions by filing a written request
for a letter of withdrawal of the notice
and/or a written request for a hearing
before the Office of Hearing Officers
under Rule 9559. The procedures
delineated in this Rule shall be
applicable to such additional notice.

included the adoption of a new Rule
4000A series 4 and certain amendments
to Rules 9557 and 9559.5 The proposed
changes were immediately effective, and
became operative on February 19, 2010.
In adopting the new consolidated rules,
FINRA eliminated Rule 3131 and in its
place adopted a new Rule 4130 that
concerns the regulation of activities of
Section 15C members experiencing
financial and/or operational difficulties
and made conforming changes to
citations found under FINRA Rule 9557.
Section 15C of the Exchange Act 6
applies to government securities brokers
and dealers, which does not apply to
Nasdaq’s membership as no such class
of membership exists under Nasdaq
rules. As a consequence, Nasdaq did not
adopt an analogous Rule 4130A. In
revising citations in Rule 9557,
however, Nasdaq inadvertently
included erroneous references to Rule
4130A. Accordingly, Nasdaq is
proposing to eliminate the erroneous
references to Rule 4130A found in Rule
9557.
2. Statutory Basis
Nasdaq believes that the proposed
rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 6 of the Act,7 in
general and with Section 6(b)(5) of the
Act,8 in particular in that it is designed
to prevent fraudulent and manipulative
acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, to foster
cooperation and coordination with
persons engaged in regulating, clearing,
settling, processing information with
respect to, and facilitating 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
proposed rule change corrects certain
erroneous citations inadvertently
included in Rule 9557 when adopting
the new Rule 4000A series.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
Nasdaq 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.
4 Nasdaq currently has rules under its 4000 series,
so to mirror the changes made by FINRA as closely
as possible, Nasdaq created a new Rule 4000A
series.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change
The purpose of the proposed rule change is to modify the registered
transfer agent notification methods for assumption or termination of
services.
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 such
statements.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ 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
Rule 17Ad-16 under the Act is designed to help reduce delays in
securities transfers. The rule requires registered transfer agents to
notify the appropriate qualified registered securities depository when
the transfer agent assumes or terminates services on behalf of an
issuer or when the transfer agent changes its name or address.
In 1995, DTC filed a proposed rule change with the Commission in
which DTC requested designation as the appropriate qualified registered
securities depository for purposes of Rule 17Ad-16 and also sought
approval of its procedures to receive and transmit such notices. The
Commission approved the rule filing and ordered that DTC be designated
as the appropriate qualified registered securities depository.\5\
Existing DTC Procedures allow transfer agents to provide their notices
to DTC by e-mail to DTC's Transfer Agent Services Mailbox, by fax, or
by mail.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

1995), 60 FR 9875 (February 22, 1995) (File No. SR-DTC-95-02).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
To increase certainty regarding where transfer agents should direct
these notices to DTC, as well as to reduce costs and administrative
burdens, DTC proposes modifying its Procedures so that registered
transfer agents would only notify DTC by sending e-mails to DTC's
Transfer Agent Services Mailbox. The proposed changes to DTC's
Procedures can be found in Exhibit 5 to proposed rule change SR-DTC-

DTC believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
requirements of Section 17A of the Act \6\ and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to DTC because the proposed rule
change promotes efficiencies in the clearance and settlement of
securities transactions by modifying DTC's Procedures to expedite the
notification process for transfer agent changes and decrease transfer
delays.

(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 yet
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
The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(4) \8\ thereunder
because the proposed rule change effects a change in an existing
service of a registered clearing agency that: (i) Does not adversely
affect the safeguarding of securities or funds in the custody or
control of the clearing agency or for which it is responsible and (ii)
does not significantly affect the respective rights or obligations of
the clearing agency or persons using the service. At any time within
sixty days of the filing of such rule change, the Commission may
summarily abrogate such rule change if it appears to the Commission
that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest,
for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act.
