Additionally, the proposed ministerial changes to the Procedures, which update the Guide as set forth above, would provide additional clarity to Participants and would ensure the accuracy of the Procedures by reflecting the present state of DTC’s reorganization services and practices, thereby promoting the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of securities, consistent with the requirements of the Act, in particular Section 17A(b)(3)(F), cited above. (B) Clearing Agency’s Statement on Burden on Competition DTC does not believe that the proposed rule change would have any impact, or impose any burden, on competition because it would remove a function that is infrequently used for its intended purpose, and would establish a new function, available to all Participants, without the addition of a new fee.
