Technical Amendment to Rules for the
Temporary Registration of Municipal
Advisors
Securities and Exchange
Commission.
ACTION: Final rule; technical
amendment.
AGENCY:
The Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘Commission’’) is making
a technical amendment to rules under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Exchange Act’’) to correct an
inadvertent error. On December 21,
2011, the Commission extended the
expiration date for the temporary
municipal advisor registration regime to
September 30, 2012. In the release
extending the expiration date, the
Commission inadvertently omitted a
reference to Subpart N, which resulted
in the deletion of Subpart N from the
Code of Federal Regulations. With this
technical amendment, the Commission
is correcting the omission and adding
back Subpart N to the Code of Federal
Regulations.
DATES: Effective Date: July 18, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
September 1, 2010, the Commission

15Ba2–6T under the Exchange Act
(‘‘Rule 15Ba2–6T’’),1 which provides for
the temporary registration of municipal
advisors under the Exchange Act, as
amended by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act.2
The Commission also adopted Subpart
N (Forms for Registration of Municipal
Advisors), which consisted of 17 CFR
249.1300T (Form MA–T—For temporary
registration as a municipal advisor, and
for amendments to, and withdrawals
from, temporary registration). On
December 21, 2011, the Commission

2011, to September 30, 2012.3 The
Commission did not make any other

MA–T. In the release extending the
expiration date, the Commission
inadvertently omitted the reference to

and Amendments’’ section. As such,
Subpart N, which consists of 17 CFR
