Securities and Exchange Commission January 6, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On December 30, 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission published a Federal Register document adopting as final Rule 206(3)-3T under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the interim final temporary rule that establishes an alternative means for investment advisers who are registered with the Commission as broker-dealers to meet the requirements of Section 206(3) of the Investment Advisers Act when they act in a principal capacity in transactions with certain of their advisory clients. As adopted, the only change to the rule was the expiration date in paragraph (d) of the section. Rule 206(3)-3T will sunset on December 31, 2010. This document makes a correction to that document.
