- Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Modifying
- NSCC's Correction Fees
-
- June 10, 1994.
-
- Pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,«1»
- notice is hereby given that on June 1, 1994, the National Securities Clearing
- Corporation ("NSCC") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
- ("Commission") the proposed rule change (File No. SR─NSCC─94─08) as described
- in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by primarily
- NSCC. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
- proposed rule changes from interested persons.
-
- «1» 15 U.S.C. section 78s(b)(1) (1988).
-
- I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the
- Proposed Rule Change
-
- The proposed rule change modifies NSCC's fee structure as it relates to
- correction fees for the processing of municipal securities transactions. The
- text of the rule change is set forth at Exhibit A.
-
- II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory
- Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
-
- In its filing with the Commission, NSCC 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. NSCC 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
-
- The purpose of the rule change is to modify NSCC's fee structure as it relates
- to correction fees for the processing of municipal securities transactions to
- reflect the fact that correction capabilities have been accelerated in
- conformity with comparison capabilities. In August of 1993, NSCC accelerated
- the comparison processing for municipal securities transactions to the date
- after trade date ("T+1"). Previously NSCC had charged participants for
- supplemental input on or after T+2. Because correction processing can now be
- initiated on T+1, the NSCC fee structure is being modified in order to charge
- participants for supplemental input on or after T+1. Although the acceleration
- of municipal bond comparison occurred in August of 1993, this fee change will
- be effective for supplemental comparison processing as of June 1, 1994.
-
- The proposed rule change provides for the equitable allocation of dues, fees,
- and charges among participants. Therefore, NSCC believes that it is consistent
- with the requirements of the Act, particularly section 17A(b)(3)(D) of the
- Act.
-
- B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
-
- NSCC believes that the proposed rule changes will not have any impact or
- impose a burden on competition.
-
- C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule
- Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others
-
- NSCC has neither solicited nor received any written comments.
-
- III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
- Commission Action
-
- The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to section
- 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act«2» and subparagraph (e)(2) of Rule 19b─4
- thereunder because it establishes a due, fee, or other charge imposed by
- NSCC.«3» At any time within sixty days of the filing of such rule change, the
- Commission may summarily abrogate 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.
