competition. Finally, PHLX’s ability to

focus its resources on the operations of

its exchange should help enhance

competition among securities markets.

(C) Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement on Comments on the

Proposed Rule Change Received From

Members, Participants, or Others

No written comments have been

solicited or received. NSCC will notify

the Commission of any written

comments received. However, the

proposed arrangements are consistent

with recommendations made to the

boards of DTC and NSCC by the Vision

2000 Committee (‘‘Committee’’), a

committee on industry representatives

of the two boards. The Committee’s

Report dated September 1994 states:

The industry currently owns a number of

utilities that provide services related to the

comparison, clearing, settlement and

safekeeping of U.S. (and to a lesser degree,

international) securities. These utilities

overlap in two ways * * *. We believe that

the industry’s and, as important, the

investors’, overall costs can be reduced and

safety and soundness can be enhanced by

eliminating these overlaps where there is no

clear advantage to having specialization or

competing development.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for

Commission Action

Within thirty-five 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 ninety days of such date if it finds

such longer period to be appropriate

and publishes its reason for so finding,

or (ii) as to which NSCC consents, the

Commission will:

(A) by order approve such proposed

rule change, or

(B) institute proceedings to determine

whether the proposed rule change

should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

Interested persons are invited to

submit written data, views, and

arguments concerning the foregoing.

Persons making written submissions

should file six copies thereof with the

Secretary, Securities and Exchange

Commission, 450 Fifth Street NW.,

Washington, DC 20549. Copies of the

submission, all subsequent

amendments, all written statements

with respect to the proposed rule

change that are filed with the

Commission, and all written

communications relating to the

proposed rule change between the

Commission and any person, other than

those that may be withheld from the

public in accordance with the

provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552, will be

available for inspection and copying in

the Commission’s Public Reference

Section, 450 Fifth Street NW.,
