In the Matter of Four Crystal Funding,
Inc.; Order of Suspension of Trading
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.

COMMISSION (Release No. 34–62694;
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2
notice is hereby given that on August 3,
2010, the EDGA Exchange, Inc. (the
‘‘Exchange’’ or the ‘‘EDGA’’) filed with
the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the

from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of the Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to amend

FINRA; and (ii) to modernize its terms
and clarify its scope. The text of the
proposed rule change is available on the
Exchange’s Web site at https://

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. 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
