a Cedel member in an account maintained by Cedel,

or a limitation imposed by Cedel on any credit line

of a Cedel member relating to any account

maintained by such member.

66 In addition, the Commission will be permitted

to observe Cedel operations and to talk to Cedel

personnel on-site if the Commission so requests.

67Cedel has represented to the Commission that

its obligations to provide information to the

Commission pursuant to this Order is not

dependent upon the prior approval of the IML.

68Cedel is required to submit to the IML monthly

balance sheets, foreign exchange position reports,

and liquidity ratios. Cedel also is required to submit

quarterly income statements and reports on large

exposures and on the maturity structure of Cedel’s

assets and liabilities. See also supra note 1.

69Cedel’s external auditors are required, among

other things, to review Cedel’s accounting and risk

management systems and to assess the reliability of

Cedel’s periodic reports to the IML.

70Cedel will be required to amend its application

for any proposed changes to its stated policies,

practices, or interpretations as that phrase is

defined in Rule 19b–4, 17 CFR 240.19b–4.

71The exemption provided by this Order is based

upon representations by Cedel, facts contained in

the Cedel application, and other information known

to the Commission regarding the substantive

aspects of Cedel’s proposal (collectively,

‘‘representations and facts’’). Any changes in the

representations or facts as presented to the

Commission may require a modification to the

exemption. Responsibility for compliance with all

applicable U.S. securities laws rests with Cedel and

its customers, as appropriate. Cedel also is advised

that this Order does not exempt Cedel from the antifraud or anti-manipulation provisions of the

Exchange Act or any of the rules promulgated

thereunder.

respond to a Commission request for

information about a U.S. customer or its

affiliate about whom the Commission

has financial solvency concerns.66 The

exemption also is contingent upon the

execution of a satisfactory unilateral

understanding between the Commission

and the IML, Luxembourg’s banking and

securities regulatory authority, to

facilitate the provision of information by

Cedel to the Commission.67 In addition

to the above information, the

Commission will monitor Cedel through

its review of information provided to

the IML by Cedel 68 and its external

auditors.69

In addition to the foregoing

arrangements for access to information,

Cedel will be required to file with the

Commission amendments to its

application for exemption on Form CA–

1 prior to the implementation of any

change in Cedel’s stated policies,

practices, or procedures that makes the

information contained in the original

Form CA–1 incomplete or inaccurate in

any material respect.70 This method of

notifying the Commission of proposed

changes at Cedel will assist the

Commission on its overall review and

understanding of Cedel and its

operations. In addition, Cedel will be

required to notify the Commission of

changes to the Customer Handbook and

Customer Agreement and will provide

the Commission with copies of the most

current Customer Agreement and

Customer Handbook and any

amendments or updates thereto. Cedel

also will provide the Commission with

copies of Cedel’s annual report of its

external auditor, and any other

document relating to an audit, survey,

or consultant’s review concerning

Cedel’s financial position, operations, or

internal control as the Commission may

reasonably request.

4. Modification of Exemption

The Commission may modify by order

the terms, scope, or conditions of

Cedel’s exemption from registration as a

clearing agency if the Commission

determines that such modification is

necessary or appropriate in the public

interest, for the protection of investors,

or otherwise in furtherance of the

purposes of the Exchange Act.71

Furthermore, the Commission may

limit, suspend, or revoke this exemption

if the Commission finds that Cedel has

violated or is unable to comply with any

of the provisions set forth in this Order

if such action is necessary or

appropriate in the public interest, for

the protection of investors, or otherwise

in furtherance of the purposes of the

Exchange Act for the protection of

investors and the public interest.

IV. Conclusion

The Commission finds that Cedel’s

application for exemption from

registration as a clearing agency meets

the standards and requirements deemed

appropriate for such an exemption

including those standards set forth

under Section 17A of the Exchange Act.

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to

Section 19(a)(1) of the Exchange Act,

that the application for exemption from

registration as a clearing agency filed by

Cedel Bank, socie ́te ́ anonyme (File No.

600–29) be, and hereby is, approved

subject to the conditions contained in

this Order.

By the Commission.

Deputy Secretary.

temporarily relocated and available for

inspection and copying in Room 2200–

G on the second floor of the Nassif

Building within the TASC Library at

400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington,

information in order to provide better

service and access to the public and to

government users. The FHWA

rulemaking and adjudicatory docket

files that are closed will be sent to the

Federal Records Center in the near

future and are unavailable for retrieval

during the temporary relocation of

FHWA personnel to Techworld Plaza

from March 7 through April 7, 1997.

DATES: Open rulemaking and

adjudicatory dockets are available for

inspection and copying in Room 2200–

G effective March 3, 1997, until April 7,

1997. Open dockets will be available for

inspection and copying in Room PL–401

beginning on April 7, 1997. Closed

rulemaking and adjudicatory dockets

are temporarily unavailable for

inspection and copying from March 7

through April 7, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Submit all rulemaking

comments and adjudicatory dockets to
