Purpose EDGA Exchange, Inc. has entered into a Rule 17d–2 3 agreement with FINRA pursuant to which FINRA surveils violations of rules in common between FINRA and EDGA. This agreement covers common members of EDGA and FINRA and allocates to FINRA regulatory responsibility, with respect to common members, for the following: (i) Examination of common members of EDGA and FINRA for compliance with federal securities laws, rules and regulations and rules of the Exchange that the Exchange has certified as identical or substantially similar to FINRA rules; (ii) investigation of common members of EDGA and FINRA for violations of federal securities laws, rules or regulations, or Exchange rules that the Exchange has certified as identical or substantially identical to a FINRA rule; and (iii) enforcement of compliance by common members with the federal securities laws, rules and regulations, and the rules of EDGA that the Exchange has certified as identical or substantially similar to FINRA rules.4 EDGA Rule 3.13 is identical to NASD Rule 3330, which was subsequently renumbered and amended to be FINRA Rule 5230.5 FINRA, however, recently incorporated additional exceptions to this rule in order to ‘‘modernize its terms and clarify its scope.’’ 6 After a consideration of the merits of such rule change, including the benefits of ensuring that Rule 3.13 would continue to be a common rule covered under the Exchange’s Rule 17d–2 agreement with FINRA, EDGA is proposing to amend its Rule 3.13 to comport it with FINRA Rule 5230. EDGA Rule 3.13 currently provides that no member may, ‘‘directly or indirectly, give, permit to be given, or offer to give, anything of value to any person for the purpose of influencing or rewarding the action of such person in connection with the publication or circulation in any newspaper, investment service, or similar publication, of any matter which has, or is intended to have, an effect upon the 3 17 CFR 240.17d–2.

August 16, 2010.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is 
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of 
Four Crystal Funding, Inc. (``Four Crystal'') because it has not filed 
any periodic reports since the period ended June 30, 2006. Four Crystal 
is quoted on the Pink Sheets operated by Pink OTC Markets, Inc. under 
the ticker symbol FCRS.
    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the 
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the 
securities of the above-listed company, and any equity securities of 
any entity purporting to succeed to this issuer.
    Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the securities of the 
above-listed company, and any equity securities of any entity 
purporting to succeed to this issuer, is suspended for the period from 
9:30 a.m. EDT on August 16, 2010, through 11:59 p.m. EDT on August 27, 
2010.

    By the Commission.
