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

Securities Exchange Act of 1934

(‘‘Act’’),1 notice is hereby given that on

April 29, 1996, Delta Clearing Corp.

(‘‘DCC’’) filed with the Securities and

Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’)

the proposed rule change as described

in Items I, II, and III below, which items

have been prepared primarily by DCC.

The Commission is publishing this

notice to solicit comments on the

proposed rule change from interested

persons.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement of the Terms of Substance of

the Proposed Rule Change

The purpose of the proposed rule

change is to notify the Commission that

Tullet and Tokyo Securities Inc.

(‘‘Tullet’’) has been authorized as an

interdealer broker in DCC’s over-thecounter clearance and settlement system

for U.S. Treasury repurchase (‘‘repo’’)

transactions.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement of the Purpose of, and

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule

Change

In its filing with the Commission,

DCC included statements concerning

the purpose of and basis for the

proposed rule change and discussed any

comments it received on the proposed

rule change. The text of these statements

may be examined at the places specified

in Item IV below. DCC has prepared

summaries, set forth in sections (A), (B),

and (C) below, of the most significant

aspects of such statements.2

(A) Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement of the Purpose of, and

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule

Change

DCC’s system clears repro agreements

that have been agreed to through the

facilities of interdealer brokers that have

been authorized by DCC (‘‘Authorized

Brokers’’) to offer their services to DCC

participants,3 Currently, Liberty

Brockerage, Inc., RMJ Special Brokerage

Inc., Euro Brokers Maxcor Inc., Prebon

Securities (USA) Inc., and Tradition

(Government Securities) Inc. are

Authorized Brokers. The purpose of the

proposed rule change is to notify the

Commission that Tullet has been

authorized to act as an Authorized

Broker in DCC’s clearance and

settlement system for repo trades.

The proposed rule change will

facilitate the prompt and accurate

clearance and settlement of securities

transactions, and therefore, the

proposed rule change is consistent with

the requirements of the Act, specifically

Section 17A of the Act, and the rules

and regulations thereunder.4

(B) Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement on Burden on Competition

DCC does not believe that the

proposed rule change will impose any

burden on competition that is not

necessary or appropriate in furtherance

of the purposes of the Act.

(C) Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement on Comments on the

Proposed Rule Change Received from

Members, Participants or Others

Comments were neither solicited nor

received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for

Commission Action

The foregoing rule change has become

effective pursuant to Section

19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 5 and Rule

19v–4(e)(4) thereunder,6 in that the

proposal effects a change in an existing

service of a registered clearing agency

that does not adversely affect the

safeguarding of securities or funds in

the custody or control of the clearing

agency or for which it is responsible and

does not significantly affect the

respective rights or obligations of the

clearing agency or persons using the

service. At any time within sixty days

of the filing of the proposed rule change,

the Commission may summarily

abrogate such rule change if it appears

to the Commission that such action is

necessary or appropriate in the public

interest, for the protection of investors,

or otherwise in furtherance of the

purposes of the Act.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

submit written data, views, and

arguments concerning the foregoing.

computer matching program that SSA

plans to conduct with BPD.

Government Reform and Oversight of

the House of Representatives and the

Office of Information and Regulatory

Affairs, Office of Management and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. General

The Computer Matching and Privacy

Protection Act of 1988 (Public Law

(Pub. L.) 100–503) amended the Privacy

Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) by establishing the

conditions under which computer

matching involving the Federal

Government could be performed and

adding certain protections for

individuals applying for and receiving

Federal benefits. Section 7201 of the

Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of

1990 (Pub. L. 101–508) further amended

the Privacy Act regarding protections for

such individuals. The Privacy Act, as

amended, regulates the use of computer

matching by Federal agencies when

records in a system of records are

matched with other Federal, State, or

local government records. Among other

things, it requires Federal agencies

involved in computer matching

programs to:

(1) Negotiate written agreements with

the other agency or agencies

participating in the matching programs;

(2) Obtain the Data Integrity Boards’

approval of the match agreements;

(3) Furnish detailed reports about

matching programs to Congress and

OMB;

(4) Notify applicants and beneficiaries

that their records are subject to

matching; and

(5) Verify match findings before

reducing, suspending, terminating or

denying an individual’s benefits or

payments.

B. SSA Computer Matches Subject to

the Privacy Act

We have taken action to ensure that

this computer matching program

complies with the requirements of the

Privacy Act, as amended.

Dated: May 9, 1996.
