FINRA Rules 1120 3 and 1250; 4 and (2)
add references to FINRA Rules 1240 and
1220(a)(6), (a)(14) and (b)(6).
By way of background, FINRA
previously deleted in their entirety the
NASD Rule 1000 Series relating to
registration of Principals and
Representatives and adopted rules
relating to qualification and registration
requirements in the Consolidated
FINRA Rulebook.5 In that rule change,
FINRA Rule 1250 was renumbered to
FINRA Rule 1240.6 FINRA Rule 1240
describes continuing education
requirements applicable to registered
persons and consists of a Regulatory
Element and a Firm Element.
BX subsequently filed a rule change 7
to amend, reorganize and enhance
certain of its corresponding
membership, registration and
qualification requirements rules in part
in response to the FINRA Rule
Changes,8 and also in order to facilitate
3 BX Rule 1050 (subsequently renumbered as
General 9, Section 51) originally referred to NASD
Rule 1120, Continuing Education Requirements.

(Continuing Education Requirements) subject to
certain amendments, effective on October 17, 2011.

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 165 / Monday, August 30, 2021 / Notices
the adoption of similar membership,
registration and qualification rules by
BX’s affiliated exchanges. In that rule
change, BX amended its Rule 1050 (now
General 9, Section 51) to remove
references to NASD Rules 2711, 1050,
1022 and 1120 and it replaced those
references with FINRA Rules 1120,
1250, and 2241.9 The reference to
FINRA Rule 1120 was in error because,
at that time, FINRA Rule 1120 did not
exist. NASD Rule 1120 was adopted as
FINRA Rule 1250.10 Also, the references
to FINRA Rule 1250 were in error
because FINRA Rule 1250 was
renumbered as FINRA Rule 1240.11 Of
note, NASD Rules 1050 (Registration of
Research Analysts) and 1022 (Categories
of Principal Registrations) were
superseded by the FINRA Rule 1200
Series but this was not reflected within
SR–FINRA–2018–078 [sic].12
At this time, Nasdaq [sic] proposes to
remove the incorrect references to
FINRA Rules 1120 and 1250 as such
rules do not exist. The Exchange
proposes to update the reference to
FINRA Rule 1250 with a reference to
current FINRA Rule 1240. The Exchange
also proposes to add references to
FINRA Rules 1220(a)(6), (a)(14), and
(b)(6), because they correspond to
previous NASD Rules 1050 and 1022.
These changes would reflect the current
FINRA rules relating to research
analysts.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its
proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)
of the Act,13 in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,14
in particular, in that it is designed to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade and to protect investors and the
public interest. The Exchange’s proposal
to remove inaccurate FINRA rule
references from General 9, Section 51
and replace them with references to
current FINRA rules that apply to
research analysts and [sic] is consistent
with the Act. The Exchange’s proposal
will align Nasdaq’s [sic] rule to FINRA
rules.

proposal will amend the Exchange’s
General 9, Section 51 to remove
inaccurate FINRA rule references and
replace them with references to current
FINRA Rules that apply to research

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
No written comments were either
solicited or received.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Because the foregoing proposed rule
change does not: (i) Significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant
burden on competition; and (iii) become
operative for 30 days from the date on
which it was filed, or such shorter time
as the Commission may designate, it has
become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 15 and Rule 19b–
4(f)(6) thereunder.16
At any time within 60 days of the
filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission summarily may
temporarily suspend such rule change if
it appears to the Commission that such
action is necessary or appropriate in the
public interest, for the protection of
investors, or otherwise in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act. If the
Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings
to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be approved or
disapproved.
IV. Solicitation of Comments

submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing,
including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act.
