-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to recent amendments to
Rule 10b-10 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 34962) that were published in the Federal
Register on Thursday, November 17, 1994 (59 FR 59612). Rule 10b-10
requires brokers and dealers that effect a securities transaction for a
customer to send an immediate confirmation containing information
relevant to the transaction.
EFFECTIVE DATES: April 3, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
C. Dirk Peterson, Senior Counsel, (202/942-0073), Division of Market
Regulation, Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, N.W.,
Mail Stop 7-10, Washington, D.C. 20549.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Rule 10b-10 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 requires, among other things, that non-market maker brokers
and dealers disclose their mark-ups and mark-downs in riskless
principal transactions in equity securities. This disclosure
requirement was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission in
1977 in Securities Exchange Act Release No. 13508, and amended in
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34962.
Need For Correction
The amendments to Rule 10b-10 contain an error in the mark-up and
mark-down disclosure requirements for riskless principal transactions
in equity securities. Specifically, the modifying term ``equity'' was
omitted from (a)(2)(ii)(A) of Rule 10b-10. This disclosure requirement
should apply solely to equity securities.
Correction of Publication
Accordingly, the publication on November 17, 1994 containing the
adoption of amendments to Rule 10b-10 which were published in 59 FR
59612 is corrected as follows:
Sec. 240.10b-10 [Corrected]
On page 59621, in the first column, Sec. 240.10b-10, paragraph
(a)(2)(ii)(A) in the second line, the word ``that'' is removed and the
phrase ``an equity'' is added to precede the word ``security''.
On page 59621, in the first column, Sec. 240.10b-10, paragraph
(a)(2)(ii)(A) in the fifth line, the word ``equity'' is added to
precede the word ``security''.
Dated: November 18, 1994.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
