27380 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 106 / Friday, May 31, 1996 / Notices

3This report will be distributed on a daily basis

to SCCP management and SCCP’s compliance

officer. 4 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12) (1995).

will identify for SCCP’s Operations

Department which specific accounts are

currently inactive. Thereafter, the

Operations Department will monitor on

a daily basis purchase and sale blotters

for each Inactive Account. Trade

activity detected from Inactive Accounts

will be compiled on a separate report

identifying cumulative activity in each

Inactive Account during a monthly

billing cycle.3

In the event that an Inactive Account

exceeds ten trades, but fewer than

twenty-one trades, for a particular

month, the Operations Department will

immediately notify the F&A Department

and SCCP’s compliance officer. The

F&A Department will verify this activity

and will immediately call and send

letters to the affected participants

requiring the wiring of the additional

participants fund contributions

associated with an active account by the

next business day in order for such

participants to conduct further account

activity during the month. If a

participant has exceeded 20 trades for

any given month, the participant must

wire additional participants fund

contributions associated with an active

account by the next business day. A

participant’s failure to timely wire any

additional participants fund

contributions due subjects the

participant to a $500 fine for the first

offense and a $2,000 fine for the second

offense during a calendar year. If the

participant does not wire the additional

participants fund contribution for SCCP

by the next business day, SCCP will

disallow any further business in the

account beginning on the next business

day after the additional contribution

was due. Accordingly, an offense as

contemplated by the foregoing fine

schedule refers to the number of times

that the account was inactivated from

conducting any further business for

failure to furnish SCCP with the

additional contribution during the

calendar year.

Once active, an account will be

routinely subject to the normal review

and update process on a monthly basis,

and the F&A Department will

recalculate each participant’s

participants fund deposit requirement at

the end of each month based upon the

participant’s previous three months

activity, prior to the most recent month.

SCCP believes the proposed rule

change is consistent with Section 17A of

the Act and the rules and regulations

thereunder because the proposal should

help to safeguard securities and funds in

their custody or control or for which

they are responsible and foster

cooperation and coordination with

persons engaged in the clearance and

settlement of securities transactions.

(B) Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement on Burden on Competition

SCCP believes that the proposed rule

change will not impose any burden on

competition not contemplated within

the parameters of the Act.

(C) Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement on Comments on the

Proposed Rule Change Received From

Members, Participants, or Others

No written comments relating to the

proposed rule change have been

received. SCCP will notify the

Commission of any written comments

received by SCCP.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for

Commission Action

Within thirty-five days of the date of

publication of this notice in the Federal

Register or within such longer period (i)

as the Commission may designate up to

ninety days of such date if it finds such

longer period to be appropriate and

publishes its reasons for so finding or

(ii) as to which SCCP consents, the

Commission will:

(a) By order approve such proposed

rule change or

(b) Institute proceedings to determine

whether the proposed rule change

should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

Interested persons are invited to

submit written data, views, and

arguments concerning the foregoing.

Persons making written submissions

should file six copies thereof with the

Secretary, Securities and Exchange

Commission, 450 Fifth Street, N.W.,

Washington, D.C. 20549. Copies of the

submission, all subsequent

amendments, all written statements

with respect to the proposed rule

change that are filed with the

Commission, and all written

communications relating to the

proposed rule change between the

Commission and any person, other than

those that may be withheld from the

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

Room, 450 Fifth Street, N.W.,

Washington, D.C. 20549. Copies of such

filing will also be available for

inspection and copying at the principal

refer to the file number SR–SCCP–96–03

and should be submitted by June 21,

1996.
