rule change is consistent with DTC’s

obligations under Section 17A of the

Act because the rule change will allow

DTC participants to remove certificates

representing Custody Issues from their

vaults and to deposit them into the

Custody Service at DTC. Depositing

certificates into the Custody Service

along with the correspondent eligibility

of Custody Issues for certain DTC

securities processing services should

help to reduce the costs, inefficiencies,

and risks associated with the physical

safekeeping of these securities outside

of DTC and thereby should promote the

prompt and accurate clearance and

settlement of transactions in and the

safeguarding of these types of securities.

Moreover, the Commission believes the

proposal is consistent with DTC’s

obligations to safeguard securities and

funds under its control because Custody

Issues on deposit at DTC will not be

subject to any right, charge, security

interest, lien, or claim of any kind in

favor of DTC or any person claiming

through DTC.

DTC has requested that the

Commission find good cause for

approving the proposed rule change

prior to the thirtieth day after the date

of publication of notice of the filing. The

Commission finds good cause for so

approving the proposed rule change

because accelerated approval will

permit DTC participants to begin

immediately the process of transferring

Custody Issues to DTC in order that they

may utilize the Custody Service as soon

as possible. Furthermore, the

Commission has not received any

comment letters and does not expect to

receive any comment letters on the

proposal.

III. 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–

DTC–96–08) be and hereby is approved

on an accelerated basis.

For the Commission by the Division of

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated

authority.14

Secretary.
