4 In 2008, DTCC completed a multi-year initiative 

to transition all Participant Terminal System 

(‘‘PTS’’) functions to PBS. Now, rather than toggle 

between the two tools, Participants can manage all 

their needs through the web-based PBS, which is 

more flexible than PTS while offering greater 

functionality. However, Participants are still able to 

use PTS for most of their settlement activities. 

5Events, which include, for example, settlement 

extension broadcasts and the receipt of a specific 

delivery, are regularly scheduled processing 

milestones associated with a given settlement cycle. 

the Trusted Platform Module. Trusted 

authentication is provided by tokens. 

The padlock on the browser assures we 

can trust web interactions since they are 

protected by SSL. Close-held keys and 

strong key management systems assure 

cryptographic trust. 

At the workshop we will explore what 

assurances these trust anchors do and 

do not provide, what they depend upon, 

how they do or do not interact with the 

rest of the system, how they typically 

fail, and what needs to be addressed to 

enable effective use of them. 

How To Apply 

If you would like to participate in this 

workshop, please submit (1) a resume or 

curriculum vita of no more than two 

pages which highlights your expertise in 

this area and (2) a one-page paper 

stating your opinion of the assertion and 

outlining your key thoughts on the 

topic. The workshop will accommodate 

no more than 60 participants, so these 

brief documents need to make a 

compelling case for your participation. 

Applications should be submitted to 

assumptionbusters@nitrd.gov no later 

than 5 p.m. EST on March 18, 2011. 

Selection and Notification: The 

SCORE committee will select an expert 

group that reflects a broad range of 

opinions on the assertion. Accepted 

participants will be notified by e-mail 

no later than March 30, 2011. We cannot 

guarantee that we will contact 

individuals who are not selected, 

though we will attempt to do so unless 

the volume of responses is 

overwhelming.

COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–63936; File No. SR–DTC– 

2011–03] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; the 

Depository Trust Company; Notice of 

Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of 

Proposed Rule Change Regarding 

Providing Participants With a New 

Optional Settlement Web Interface 

February 22, 2011. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’),1 notice is hereby given that on 

February 7, 2011, The Depository Trust 

Company (‘‘DTC’’) filed with the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule 

change as described in Items I and II 

below, which Items have been prepared 

primarily by DTC. DTC filed the 

proposed rule change pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 2 and 

Rule 19b–4(f)(4) 3 thereunder so that the 

proposal was effective upon filing with 

the Commission. The Commission is 

publishing this notice to solicit 

comments on the proposed rule change 

from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

The proposed rule change will 

establish a new browser-based interface, 

the ‘‘Settlement Web,’’ that allows 

Participants to view their settlementrelated activity. 

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

In its filing with the Commission, 

DTC 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. DTC 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 

DTC Participants have the ability to 

view all of their settlement related 

activity using different functions in the 

Participant Browser System (‘‘PBS’’).4

Based on request from its Participants, 

DTC has created a more user-friendly 

interface called Settlement Web that 

allows Participants to view their 

settlement related activity. The 

Settlement Web will reduce the amount 

of time that Participants spend in PBS 

by increasing the efficiency in searching 

for settlement activity. Participants that 

chose to use the Settlement Web will 

have access to a Navigation Bar that will 

provide Participants with improved 

inquiry and update capabilities for their 

settlement transactions. Participants 

will also have the ability to view 

different settlement related activities 

using the Dashboard in the Settlement 

Web homepage. Additionally, 

Participants will have the option to use 

an alert function located within the 

Settlement Web’s dashboard to provide 

them to set alerts regarding settlement 

related events.5 Participants will be able 

to customize the function to control 

which events for which they want to be 

notified. These alerts will reduce the 

amount of time spent in PBS because 

Participants will no longer have to 

manually check multiple settlement 

functions to be made aware of various 

settlement events. Notifications will be 

made available to Participants through 

the alerts window in the dashboard or 

by e-mail. The e-mail will notify the
