of dealers that use the services of

The proposed rule change was
published for comment in the Federal
Register on March 26, 2012.3 The
Commission received six comment
letters regarding the proposal.4 On May
3, 2012, the MSRB submitted a response

5 See Letter to Elizabeth M. Murphy, Secretary,
Commission, from Margaret C. Henry, General
Counsel, Market Regulation, MSRB, dated May 3,
2012 (‘‘MSRB Response’’).
6 Amendment No. 1 would partially amend the
text of the original proposed rule change to clarify
that (i) MSRB Rule G–43(c)(i)(N) would only
prohibit a broker’s broker from accepting a new bid
or a changed bid from a bidder in a bid-wanted after
the broker’s broker has notified that same bidder
whether its bid was the high bid (i.e., ‘‘being used’’)
in the same bid-wanted; and (ii) a municipal
security would be considered ‘‘traded’’ through a
broker’s broker within the meaning of MSRB Rule
G–43(d)(iv) when it has been purchased by the
broker’s broker from the seller and sold to the
bidder by the broker’s broker, as an intermediary.
Because the changes made in Amendment No. 1 do
not materially alter the substance of the proposed
rule change or raise any novel regulatory issues,
Amendment No. 1 is not subject to notice and
comment.
