II. Description

    The proposed rule change consists of amendments to the Rules and

in a pilot of Trade Risk Pro, no Members are currently enrolled in 
Trade Risk Pro and NSCC believes it is not currently cost-effective to 
maintain the service. As a result, NSCC is revising its Rules by 
deleting the current Rule 54 (Trade Risk Pro) and Procedure XVII (Trade 
Risk Pro). The effective date of the proposed rule change will be 
announced via an NSCC Important Notice.

approve a proposed rule change of a self-regulatory organization if it

to such organization. Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act \6\ requires that 
rules of a clearing agency to be designed to, among other things, 
``promote the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of 
securities transactions and . . . to assure the safeguarding of 
securities and funds which are in the custody or control of the 
clearing agency or for which it is responsible.'' \7\ The Commission 
finds that NSCC's proposed rule change is consistent with these 
requirements by discontinuing an underutilized service, which will 
enable NSCC to allocate its resources among other core clearing agency 
functions.

    On the basis of the foregoing, the Commission finds that the 
proposal is consistent with the requirements of the Act and in 
particular with the requirements of Section 17A of the Act \8\ and the 
rules and regulations thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has 
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition, 
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
