[Release No. 34-53276; File No. SR-NASD-2005-098]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc.; Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change and Amendment
No. 1 Thereto Relating to the Submission of SEC Rule 15c2-11
Information on Non-Nasdaq Securities

February 13, 2006.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on August 18, 2005, the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. (``NASD'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``SEC'' or ``Commission'') proposed rule change SR-NASD-2005-098 as
described in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared
by NASD. On January 10, 2006, NASD filed Amendment No. 1 to the
proposed rule change.\3\ The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change, as amended, from
interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Amendment No. 1 made certain technical and clarifying
changes to the original rule filing of August 18, 2005. Amendment
No. 1 supersedes and replaces the original rule filing in its
entirety.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    NASD is proposing to amend NASD Rule 6740 to (1) relieve members of
the obligation to file with NASD copies of certain information that is
electronically accessible through the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering,
Analysis, and Retrieval (``EDGAR'') system; and (2) exclude from NASD
Rule 6740 quotation activity for which the SEC has granted an exemption
under SEC Rule 15c2-11(h). Below is the text of the proposed rule
change. Proposed new language is italicized; proposed deletions are in
[brackets].
* * * * *

6740. Submission of Rule 15c2-11 Information on Non-Nasdaq Securities

    (a) Except as provided in SEC Rule 15c2-11(f)(1), (2), (3), and (5)
and 15c2-11(h) under the Act, no member shall initiate or resume the
quotation of a non-Nasdaq security in any quotation medium unless the
member has demonstrated compliance with this rule and the applicable
requirements for information maintenance under Rule 15c2-11. A member
shall demonstrate compliance by making a filing with, and in the form
required by, [the Association] NASD, which filing must be received at
least three business days before the member's quotation is published or
displayed in the quotation medium.
    (b) The information to be filed shall contain one copy of all
information required to be maintained under SEC Rule 15c2-11(a)(1),
(2), (3)(iii), (4)(ii), or (5), including any information that may be
required by future amendments thereto. Members are not required to file
with NASD copies of any information that is available through the SEC's
Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (``EDGAR'') system;
provided, however, that the filing with NASD shall contain identifying
information for each issuer report or statement available through EDGAR
that was relied upon in satisfying the member's obligations under this
Rule and SEC Rule 15c2-11(a), including the type of report, report date
and any other information as may be requested by NASD. In addition,
this filing shall identify the issuer, the issuer's predecessor in the
event of a merger or reorganization within the previous 12 months, the
type of non-Nasdaq security to be quoted (e.g., ADR, warrant, unit, or
common stock), the quotation medium to be used, the member's initial or
resumed quotation, and the particular subsection of Rule 15c2-11 with
which the member is demonstrating compliance. Additionally, if a member
is initiating or resuming quotation of a non-Nasdaq security with a
priced entry, the member's filing must specify the basis upon which
that priced entry was determined and the factors considered in making
that determination.
    (c) If a member's initial or resumed quotation does not include a
priced entry, a member shall supplement its prior filing under this
Rule, in the form required by [the Association] NASD, before inserting
a priced entry for the affected non-Nasdaq security in a quotation
medium. The supplemental filing shall specify the basis upon which the
proposed priced entry was determined and the factors considered in
making that determination. The supplemental filing must be received by
[the Association] NASD at least three business days before the member's
priced entry first appears in a quotation medium.
    (d) All filings made with [the Association] NASD under this Rule
must be reviewed and signed by a principal of the member firm.
* * * * *

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, NASD 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. NASD 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
    NASD Rule 6740 prohibits a member from initiating or resuming the
quotation of a non-Nasdaq security \4\ in a quotation medium unless the
member has demonstrated compliance with the requirements of SEC Rule
15c2-11 pertaining to the review and maintenance of specified
information about the security and issuer. To demonstrate compliance
with both NASD Rule 6740 and SEC Rule 15c2-11, a member must file with
NASD a Form 211, together with the information required under SEC Rule
15c2-11(a), at least three business days before the quotation is
published or displayed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ For purposes of this rule, ``non-Nasdaq security'' is
defined in NASD Rule 6710(c) as ``any equity security that is
neither included in The Nasdaq Stock Market nor traded on any
national securities exchange.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Much of the information that is required under SEC Rule 15c2-11(a)
for reporting issuers, such as prospectuses, offering circulars and
annual reports, is publicly available through the SEC's EDGAR system.
NASD believes that there is no policy purpose served in requiring
members to file with NASD copies of such information. Accordingly, NASD
is proposing to relieve members of the obligation to file with NASD
copies of information that is electronically accessible through the
SEC's EDGAR system. NASD believes the proposed rule change, as amended,
will eliminate the administrative burden and cost imposed on members in
furnishing such information to NASD. Although members will not be
required to file the information with NASD, they will nonetheless
remain obligated under NASD Rule 6740 to review and maintain
information as required by SEC Rule 15c2-11.
    In addition, members currently are required to identify on the Form
211 the type and date of each report or statement that is submitted to
NASD. Under the proposed rule change, as amended, where copies of
documents are not submitted to NASD because they are available through
EDGAR, members will continue to be required to provide on the Form 211
the type and date of each report or statement, as well as other
information as may be requested by NASD relating to each report or
statement for the reporting issuer that the member relied upon in
satisfying its information review obligations under NASD Rule 6740 and
SEC Rule 15c2-11(a).\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ If information other than the type and date of the statement
or report is required to be submitted by members under this proposed
provision, NASD will provide notice of these additional requirements
in a Notice to Members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, paragraphs (f) and (h) of SEC Rule 15c2-11 set forth
the exclusions to the rule's information review and maintenance
requirements. NASD Rule 6740(a) tracks the SEC Rule 15c2-11(f)
exceptions,\6\ but does not contain an exclusion for those quotations
pursuant to which the Commission has granted an exemption, upon request
or its own motion, under SEC Rule 15c2-11(h). NASD believes that the
terms for filing a Form 211 under NASD Rule 6740 should conform to SEC
Rule 15c2-11; members should not be required to review, maintain and
file information under the NASD rule if there is no similar obligation
under the SEC rule. Accordingly, NASD is proposing to amend NASD Rule
6740 to relieve members of their obligations under the rule in the
event that the Commission has granted an exemption to any quotation
under SEC Rule 15c2-11(h). To the extent that the Commission's
exemptive relief applies any terms and conditions to such relief, those
same terms and conditions would apply to the exclusion under NASD Rule
6740.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Because the definition of ``non-Nasdaq security'' under NASD
Rule 6710(c) excludes debt instruments, NASD Rule 6740 does not
refer to subsection (f)(4) of SEC Rule 15c2-11, which relates to
municipal securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, NASD no longer refers to itself using its full corporate
name, ``the

Association,'' or ``the NASD.'' Instead, NASD uses the name ``NASD''
unless otherwise appropriate for corporate or regulatory reasons.
Accordingly, the proposed rule change, as amended, replaces, as a
technical change, several references in NASD Rule 6740 to ``the
Association'' with the name ``NASD.''
    NASD will announce the effective date of the proposed rule change,
as amended, in a Notice to Members to be published no later than 60
days following Commission approval. The effective date will be 30 days
following publication of the Notice to Members announcing Commission
approval.
2. Statutory Basis
    NASD believes that the proposed rule change, as amended, is
consistent with the provisions of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act, which
requires, among other things, that NASD rules must be designed to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just
and equitable principles of trade, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest. NASD believes that harmonizing NASD
Rule 6740 and SEC Rule 15c2-11, so that members are not required to
review, maintain and file information under the NASD rule when they are
not required to review and maintain such information under the SEC
rule, is consistent with the Act. Moreover, SEC Rule 15c2-11 is, by its
terms, ``a means reasonably designed to prevent fraudulent, deceptive
or manipulative acts or practices,'' and thus, NASD believes that
harmonizing NASD Rule 6740 and SEC Rule 15c2-11 is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    NASD does not believe that the proposed rule change, as amended,
will result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Within 35 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve such proposed rule change, as amended, or
    (B) Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change, as amended, should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

    Abstract: The National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants for Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating
Operations at Area Sources are part of EPAs Integrated Urban Strategy
to reduce cancer risk from area sources under section 112(k)(3)(C) of
the Clean Air Act. Affected sources must comply with recordkeeping and
reporting requirements of the rule. The owners or operators of
facilities with affected operations must read instructions to determine
how they will be affected by the rule. New and existing sources must
submit an initial notification. New sources are also required to submit
a notification of compliance status, an annual compliance report and
maintain records. All surface coating sources must keep records
demonstrating that spray painters have completed training. Existing
paint stripping facilities using more than 150 gallons per year of
methylene chloride stripping solvent must complete a methylene chloride
minimization plan and submit a notification of compliance status.
Annual compliance reports are also required.
    Form Numbers: None.

    Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of paint
stripping and miscellaneous surface coating operations area sources.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR Part 63,
Subpart HHHHHH).
    Estimated number of respondents: 39,812 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, annually, and occasionally.
    Total estimated burden: 125,171. Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $12,157,130, includes $116,822 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an apparent increase in the
total estimated respondent cost burden as currently identified in the
OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The increase is not due to any
program changes. It primarily is attributed to corrections to the
previous renewal's burden calculations, which omitted technical and
managerial labor burdens associated with painter certification
recordkeeping activities conducted by commercial miscellaneous surface
coating operations at area sources, as presented in Table 1a. This
omission was inconsistent with the approach used throughout the
remainder of the previous renewal and is inconsistent with the approach
typically used by the Agency to calculate the respondent labor burden.
Also, this renewal uses updated labor rates, which further contributed
to the apparent increase in the respondent burden cost. This ICR
references labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate
the respondent cost burden.
    There is a decrease in the total O&M cost as compared to the
previous renewal. This change also is not due to any program changes,
and is attributed directly to corrections made to the previous
renewal's calculations. The previous renewal overestimated the number
of initial report and notification that are required for new sources.
This renewal revises the calculations which resulted in the observed
decrease in the total O&M cost.
