8 In approving these rules, the Commission has 

considered their impact on efficiency, competition, 

and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).

9 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).

10 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

laundering programs required under the 

proposed rule must establish and 

implement policies and procedures that 

can be reasonably expected to detect 

and cause the reporting of transactions 

required under Section 5318(g) of the 

Bank Secrecy Act and the implementing 

regulations under that Act. The 

programs must also establish and 

implement policies, procedures, and 

internal controls reasonably designed to 

achieve compliance with the Bank 

Secrecy Act and the implementing 

regulations thereunder. The programs 

must provide for independent testing for 

compliance to be conducted by member 

personnel or by a qualified outside 

party. The programs must also 

designate, and identify to the Exchange, 

a person or persons responsible for 

implementing and monitoring the dayto-day operations and internal controls 

of the program and provide prompt 

notification to the Exchange regarding 

any change in such designation. In 

addition, the programs must provide 

ongoing training for appropriate 

persons. The proposed rule also states 

that, in the event any of the provisions 

of the rule conflict with any of the 

provisions of another applicable SRO’s 

rule requiring the development and 

implementation of an anti-money 

laundering compliance program, the 

provisions of the member’s Designated 

Examining Authority (‘‘DEA’’) rule 

would apply. 

III. Discussion and Commission 

Findings 

The Commission finds, for the reasons 

set forth below, that the proposal is 

consistent with the requirements of the 

Act and the rules and regulations 

thereunder applicable to a registered 

national securities exchange,8 and, in 

particular, with the requirements of 

Sections 6(b)(5)9 of the Act. Section 

6(b)(5) requires, among other things that 

the rules of a registered national 

securities exchange be designed to 

prevent fraudulent and manipulative 

acts and practices, to promote just and 

equitable principles of trade, to foster 

cooperation and coordination with 

persons engaged in regulating, clearing, 

settling, processing information with 

respect o, and facilitating transactions in 

securities, to remove impediments to 

and perfect the mechanism of a free and 

open market and a national market 

system and, in general to protect 

investors and the public interest.

The Commission finds that the 

proposed rule change is consistent with 

these Sections of the Act. The 

Commission finds that the NSX has 

proposed a rule that accurately, 

reasonably, and efficiently implements 

the requirements of the PATRIOT Act as 

it applies to NSX members. Moreover, 

the Commission finds it appropriate and 

consistent with the Act for NSX 

members to follow the anti-money 

laundering rules of their DEAs to the 

extent those rules conflict with NSX’s. 

The Commission believes that provision 

of the NSX rule implementing this 

approach will avoid confusion and 

enhance compliance for dual members. 

IV. Conclusion 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,10 that the 

proposal SR–NSX–2004–02, as 

amended, be and hereby is approved.

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated 

authority.11
