Rules apply only to those members of FINRA that 

are also members of the NYSE. The FINRA Rules 

apply to all FINRA members, unless such rules 

have a more limited application by their terms. For 

more information about the rulebook consolidation 

process, see Information Notice, March 12, 2008 

(Rulebook Consolidation Process). For convenience, 

the Incorporated NYSE Rules are referred to as the 

NYSE Rules. 

5FINRA Rule 0160 would be reorganized so that 

the defined terms are arranged alphabetically, as 

amended. 

6Notwithstanding the proposed transfer of certain 

defined terms from NASD Rule 0120 to FINRA Rule 

0160 in the Consolidated FINRA Rulebook, the 

defined terms in FINRA Rule 0160 would continue 

to apply equally to both the Transitional Rulebook 

and the Consolidated FINRA Rulebook, as 

applicable. See also Securities Exchange Act 

Release No. 58643 (September 25, 2008), 73 FR 

57174 (October 1, 2008) (Order Approving SR– 

FINRA–2008–021), discussing ‘‘Rules of General 

Applicability.’’

will amend FINRA Rule 0160. The 

proposed rule change will transfer 

certain defined terms from NASD Rule 

0120 (Definitions) to FINRA Rule 0160, 

subject to certain amendments, as well 

as add new defined terms to reflect the 

conventions of the Consolidated FINRA 

Rulebook.5 The proposed rule change 

will also eliminate as unnecessary or 

duplicative certain definitions 

contained in NASD Rule 0120. In 

addition, the proposed rule change will 

eliminate NASD Rule 0120 from the 

current FINRA rulebook.6

The proposed rule change will also 

transfer certain terms with either no or 

minor substantive changes to FINRA 

Rule 0160, as well as make minor and 

conforming changes to NASD Rule 

0120(f)(2) and (f)(3) and FINRA Rule 

0160(b)(3)(B) and (3)(C). The proposed 

rule change will also add defined terms 

to FINRA Rule 0160 because such terms 

are used throughout the Consolidated 

FINRA Rulebook.7 Although the 

proposed rule change will not 

incorporate certain defined terms in 

NASD Rule 0120, FINRA represents that 

this will not eliminate any substantive 

FINRA requirements.8

FINRA will announce the 

implementation date of the proposed 

rule change in a Regulatory Notice to be 

published no later than 90 days 

following this Commission approval. 

The effective date will be no later than 

150 days following this Commission 

approval. 

III. Discussion and Commission 

Findings 

After careful review, the Commission 

finds that the proposed rule change is 

consistent with Section 15A(b)(6) of the 

Act,9 which requires, among other 

things, that FINRA rules be designed to 

prevent fraudulent and manipulative 

acts and practices, to promote just and 

equitable principles of trade, and, in 

general, to protect investors and the 

public interest. The Commission 

believes that the proposed rule change 

will provide clarity with respect to the 

defined terms for the Consolidated 

FINRA Rulebook by transferring certain 

defined terms from NASD Rule 0120 to 

FINRA Rule 0160 (subject to certain 

amendments), adding new defined 

terms to FINRA Rule 0160 to reflect the 

conventions of the Consolidated FINRA 

Rulebook and eliminating as 

unnecessary or duplicative certain 

definitions contained in NASD Rule 

0120. 

IV. Conclusion 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,10 that the 

proposed rule change (SR–FINRA– 

2011–043) be, and it hereby is, 

approved. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.11
