I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The proposed rule change will amend DTC rules to provide that DTC will impose a new disincentive fee for 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). 2 The text of the proposed rule change is attached as Exhibit 5 to DTC’s filing, which is available at https://www.dtcc.com/downloands/legal/ rule_filings/2010/dtc/2010–13.pdf. 3 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii) and 17 CFR 240.19b– 4(f)(3).

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 these statements.4 (A) Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change The DAM system allows participants to transmit details of a deposit before forwarding physical securities to DTC. Under the DAM system, a participant is able to send to DTC details regarding securities that the participant plans to deposit.5 DTC uses the deposit details to determine whether the proposed deposit is acceptable by checking for such things as issue eligibility, chill status, correct CUSIP information, etc. The deposit detail information is stored in DTC’s database. Upon the submitting participant’s initiation, DTC’s systems send a transmission to the submitting participant’s printer using a Systems Network Architecture (‘‘SNA’’) connection.6 The transmission causes 4 The Commission has modified the text of the summaries prepared by the DTC. 5 Participants send the deposit details to DTC using either a Participant Terminal System message (‘‘DAMP’’), a PBS transmission, or a CF2DEP file. 6 SNA is a network system developed by IBM in the early 1980s to move large amounts of data through the Internet.

Since IBM’s recent announcement that it would no longer support SNA, DTC has begun making the deposit tickets available in PDF format. The method used by participants to initiate the print process did not change but rather than send the deposit tickets to a dedicated thermal printer at the participant’s location, DTC ‘‘pushes’’ the deposit tickets to the requesting participant’s work station in PDF format where the ticket can then be printed from any printer attached to that work station (‘‘PDF method’’). This process eliminates the need for participants to use expensive thermal printers or ‘‘peeloff’’ bar code labels. Effective October 8, 2010, DTC retired the outdated and unsupported SNA ticket print stream and the use of ‘‘peeloff’’ adhesive bar code labels. Participants continue to have the ability to produce DAM deposit tickets for submission to DTC using the PDF method. Effective Monday, November 1, 2010, all DAM deposits received by DTC must be accompanied by a deposit ticket printed using the PDF method. Pursuant to this rule change, all deposits received without a DAM deposit ticket generated using the PDF method will continue to be processed by DTC but will incur a $100.00 processing fee in addition to the current DAM deposit fee. DTC believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of Section 17A of the Act 8 and the rules and regulations thereunder that are applicable to DTC 7 Some participants with low volumes of deposits have elected to use ‘‘peel-off’’ adhesive bar code labels instead of investing in expensive thermal printers. 8 15 U.S.C. 78q–1.
