COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–52651; File No. SR–SCCP–

2004–03] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Stock 

Clearing Corporation of Philadelphia; 

Order Granting Approval of a 

Proposed Rule Change Relating to 

Anonymous Features on Trading 

Systems 

October 21, 2005. 

I. Introduction 

On August 5, 2004, the Stock Clearing 

Corporation of Philadelphia (‘‘SCCP’’) 

filed with the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) proposed 

rule change SR–SCCP–2004–03 

pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’).1 On September 7, 2004, SCCP 

amended the proposed rule change. 

Notice of the proposal was published in 

the Federal Register on August 10, 

2005.2 No comment letters were 

received. For the reasons discussed 

below, the Commission is granting 

approval of the proposed rule change 

with the conditions set forth below. 

II. Description 

The rule change allows SCCP to 

process trades executed on a trading 

system that provides for anonymous 

trading.3 Pursuant to the rule change, 

SCCP will be able in the future to 

receive locked-in trade data from a 

trading system that provides anonymity. 

In such a situation, SCCP would report 

such trades to its members using an 

anonymous acronym instead of naming 

or identifying the actual contraside. 

In the event that SCCP ceases to act 

for a member involved in anonymous 

trading, the operator of the trading 

system shall have the responsibility to 

identify to its users the trades, which 

are generally included in reports 

produced by SCCP, involving the 

affected member. SCCP would forward 

to the operator of the trading system the 

appropriate information to facilitate its 

notification of its users. In addition, 

should SCCP receive information from 

NSCC that NSCC had ceased to act for 

an NSCC member that was an 

unidentified contraside of any such 

trade, SCCP would also forward this 

information to the operator of the 

trading system.4

III. Discussion 

Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act 

provides that the rules of a clearing 

agency should be designed to promote 

the prompt and accurate clearance and 

settlement of securities transactions.5 To 

benefit from the advantages of an 

anonymous trading system, parties to 

anonymous trades need to keep their 

identities anonymous in any reports 

provided to counterparties as part of the 

clearance and settlement of the trades. 

By allowing SCCP to use an acronym in 

place of the name or identity of 

contrasides of anonymous trades in the 

trade reports it provides to its members, 

the proposed rule change allows the 

parties to anonymous trades to preserve 

their anonymity and thus to preserve 

the benefits associated with executing 

anonymous trades. Accordingly, the 

proposed rule change is designed to 

promote the prompt and accurate 

clearance and settlement of securities 

transactions conducted on anonymous 

trading systems by allowing such trades 

to be cleared and settled through SCCP 

and therefore receive the benefits and 

efficiencies SCCP offers as a registered 

clearing agency. 

As a condition of this approval, SCCP 

will notify the Commission in writing 

before it begins processing trades 

executed on each anonymous trading 

system. Such notification shall include 

such information as the name of the 

anonymous trading system, the operator 

and/or owner of the anonymous trading 

system, the proposed processing start 

date, and any other relevant information 

requested by the Commission. 

IV. Conclusion 

On the basis of the foregoing, the 

Commission finds that the proposed 

rule change is consistent with the 

requirements of the Act and in 

particular Section 17A of the Act and 

the rules and regulations thereunder. 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

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

proposed rule change (File No. SR–

SCCP–2004–03) be and hereby is 

approved. 

For the Commission by the Division of 

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated 

authority.6
