CFR 240.19b–4. Frm 00063 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 amended MSRB Rule A–3, on Board membership (‘‘Rule A–3’’) (the ‘‘proposed rule change’’). The MSRB has designated the proposed rule change as ‘‘concerned solely with the administration of the self regulatory organization’’ under Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) 3 of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(3) 4 thereunder, which renders the proposal effective upon filing with the Commission. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the MSRB’s website at www.msrb.org/Rules-andInterpretations/SEC-Filings/2020Filings.aspx, at the MSRB’s principal office, and at the Commission’s Public Reference Room. II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change In its filing with the Commission, the MSRB 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. The MSRB has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements. A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose On August 5, 2020, the Commission approved a proposed rule change that included amendments to Rule A–3.5 Among other things, the amendments reduced the Board’s size from 21 to 15 members through a transition plan,6 modified the Board’s class structure to reflect the reduction in Board size, and permitted a Board member filling a vacancy to serve for any part of an unexpired term, rather than requiring such a Board member to serve for the entire unexpired portion. The Articles of Incorporation include provisions relating to Board size, class structure, and Board terms, which the proposed rule change would amend to conform to amended Rule A–3. To reflect the reduced Board size and modified class structure, the proposed rule change would amend the Articles 3 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii). CFR 240.19b–4(f)(3). 5 Exchange Act Release No. 89484 (Aug. 5, 2020), 85 FR 48579 (Aug. 11, 2020) (File No. SR–MSRB– 2020–04). 6 Pursuant to the transition plan, the Board will include 17 members during fiscal year 2021 and 15 members thereafter. 4 17 E:\FR\FM\30SEN1.SGM 30SEN1
