whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology,

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–65032; File No. SR–NSCC– 

2011–04] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The 

National Securities Clearing 

Corporation; Order Granting Approval 

of a Proposed Rule Change To Amend 

Rules Relating To Discontinuing 

Dividend Settlement Service, Funds 

Only Settlement Service, Data 

Distribution Box Services, and 

Changes to the Envelope Settlement 

Service 

August 4, 2011. 

I. Introduction 

On June 15, 2011, The National 

Securities Clearing Corporation 

(‘‘NSCC’’) filed proposed rule change 

SR–NSCC–2011–04 with the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) pursuant to Section 

19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act 

of 1934 (‘‘Act’’).1 Notice of the proposed 

rule change was published in the 

Federal Register on July 6, 2011.2 The 

Commission received no comment 

letters. For the reasons discussed below, 

the Commission is granting approval of 

the proposed rule change. 

II. Description 

As operated prior to this rule change, 

the Dividend Settlement Service 

(‘‘DSS’’), the Funds Only Settlement 

Service (‘‘FOSS’’), and the Envelope 

Settlement Service (‘‘ESS’’) were nonguaranteed services of NSCC through 

which NSCC members were able to 

exchange physical envelopes through a 

centralized location at NSCC. Pursuant 

to Rule 43 of NSCC’s Rules and 

Procedures, DSS centralized claims 

processing for collection and payment 

of dividends and interest between NSCC 

members through the exchange of 

envelopes through the facilities of 

NSCC. Pursuant to Rule 41 of NSCC’s 

Rules and Procedures, FOSS centralized 

money-only settlements for NSCC 

members through the exchange of 

paperwork delivered to and received by 

NSCC members through NSCC’s 

facilities.3 Pursuant to Rule 9 and 

Addendum D of NSCC’s Rules and 

Procedures, ESS allowed an NSCC 

member to physically deliver a sealed 

envelope containing securities and such 

other items as NSCC from time to time 

permitted to a specified NSCC member. 

The money settlement associated with 

ESS, DSS, and FOSS transactions 

occurred through NSCC’s end-of-day 

settlement process. 

A. Consolidation and Elimination of 

Certain Services 

The use of each of these services has 

steadily declined in recent years due to 

increased dematerialization of securities 

and automation of transaction 

processing. In light of this decline and 

the elimination of the guaranty of ESS 

transactions, NSCC is amending its rules 

to discontinue the separate DSS and 

FOSS services and to allow members to
