Regulation of Alternative Trading

Systems; Extension of Temporary Stay

of Effectiveness

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange

Commission.

ACTION: Extension of temporary stay of

effectiveness.

SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange

Commission extends the stay of

effectiveness of Rules 301(b)(5)(i)(D) and

(E) and 301(b)(6)(i)(D) and (E) until

December 1, 2001. These provisions

relate to alternative trading systems that

trade certain categories of debt

securities. This stay is necessary to

provide sufficient time for a reporting

system to be developed that would

compile and publish data for investment

grade and non-investment grade

corporate debt instruments. The other

alternative trading system rules, which

were published in 63 FR 70844 on

December 22, 1998, remain effective as

previously stated.

DATES: 17 CFR 242.301(b)(5)(i)(D) and

(E) and 242.301(b)(6)(i)(D) and (E) are

stayed until December 1, 2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

On December 8, 1998, the Securities

and Exchange Commission

(‘‘Commission’’) adopted new rules and

rule amendments to allow alternative

trading systems to choose whether to

register as national securities exchanges,

or to register as broker-dealers and

comply with additional requirements

under Regulation ATS, depending on

their activities and trading volume.1 The

effective date for most of these new

rules and rule amendments was April

21, 1999. The Commission stated in the

adopting release that Rules

301(b)(5)(i)(D) and (E) and

301(b)(6)(i)(D) and (E) would become

effective on April 1, 2000. Specifically,

for alternative trading systems trading

20 percent or more of the average daily

trading volume in either investment

grade or non-investment grade corporate

debt securities over at least four of the

preceding six months, the fair access

and systems capacity, security, and

integrity requirements were to take

effect on April 1, 2000. On March 31,

2000, the Commission issued a

temporary stay of effectiveness for Rules

301(b)(5)(i)(D) and (E) until December 1,

2000.2

II. Extension of Temporary Stay of

Effectiveness of Rules 301(b)(5)(i)(D)

and (E) and 301(b)(6)(i)(D) and (E)

In the Adopting Release and the Stay

of Effectiveness Release, we noted that

volume data for investment grade and

non-investment grade corporate debt

was not yet being compiled or

published. Accordingly, market

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 236 / Thursday, December 7, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 76563

3The Commission, however, believes that good

business practice dictates that alternative trading

systems adopt the standards of systems capacity,

security, and integrity, regardless of their trading

volume.

participants and regulators had no

mechanism to determine the aggregate

daily trading volume for either

investment grade corporate bonds or

non-investment grade corporate bonds

for purposes of complying with or

enforcing the rules. While efforts are

ongoing to complete such a system, no

comprehensive reporting system is

currently in place. The Commission

believes that extending the stay of

effectiveness of Rules 301(b)(5)(i)(D) and

(E) and 301(b)(6)(i)(D) and (E) until

December 1, 2001 should provide

sufficient time for a system to be

developed and implemented that would

compile and publish data for both

market segments.3

[Docket No. H–052G]

RIN 1218–AB90

Occupational Exposure to Cotton Dust

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health

Administration (OSHA), Labor.

ACTION: Direct final rule; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: OSHA is issuing a direct final

rule amending its occupational health

standard for Cotton Dust, which was

issued in 1978 and amended in 1985, to

add cotton washed in a batch kier

system to the types of washed cotton

partially exempt from the cotton dust

standard. This direct final rule follows

the recommendation of the Task Force

for Byssinosis Prevention, formerly

known as the Industry/Government/

Union Task Force for Washed Cotton

Evaluation, which studies the health

effects associated with the processing

and use of washed cotton. This direct

final rule is also consistent with a

finding of OSHA’s review of the cotton

dust standard conducted pursuant to

Section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility

Act and Section 5 of Executive Order

12866. See also the companion

documents published in the Proposed

Rules and Notices sections of today’s

Federal Register.

DATES: This direct final rule will be

effective April 6, 2001 unless significant

adverse comments are received by

February 5, 2001.

OSHA will publish a document in the

Federal Register at least 30 days before

the effective date of the direct final rule.

The document will either confirm the

effective date of the final rule or, if

significant adverse comments are

received, will withdraw the final rule.
