70864 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 229 / Tuesday, November 28, 2000 / Notices

8 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12).

Commission believes that NSCC’s rule

change is consistent with this

obligation.

The rule change will permit NSCC to

make certain enhancements to its ACAT

Service that will afford members more

specificity in the manner in which they

accept, reject, or initiate transfers of

customer account assets. These

enhancements should improve the

mechanism by which members transfer

customer account assets and should

improve the communication between

members using the ACAT Service.

Therefore, the Commission finds that

the proposed rule change is consistent

with NSCC’s obligations to remove

impediments to and perfect the

mechanism of a national system for the

prompt and accurate clearance and

settlement of securities transactions.

NSCC has requested that the

Commission find good cause for

approving the proposed rule change

prior to the thirtieth day after the date

of publication of notice of the filing. The

Commission finds good cause for so

approving the proposed rule change

because accelerated approval will

permit NSCC to implement it and

members and their customers to benefit

from these enhancements to the ACAT

Service as soon as possible.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

submit written data, views, and

arguments concerning the foregoing,

Commission, and all written

communications relating to the

proposed rule change between the

Commission and any person, other than

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.,
