Self-Regulatory Organizations; 

Financial Industry Regulatory 

Authority, Inc.; Notice of Filing and 

Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed 

Rule Change To Update Certain CrossReferences and Make Other Various 

Non-Substantive Technical Changes to 

Certain FINRA Rules 

January 27, 2010. 

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

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on January 

14, 2010, Financial Industry Regulatory 

Authority, Inc. (‘‘FINRA’’) filed with the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘SEC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed 

rule change as described in Items I and 

II below, which Items have been 

prepared by FINRA. FINRA has 

designated the proposed rule change as 

constituting a ‘‘non-controversial’’ rule 

change under paragraph (f)(6) of Rule 

19b–4 under the Act,3 which renders 

the proposal effective upon receipt of 

this filing by the Commission. 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 

FINRA is proposing to update crossreferences within certain FINRA rules to 

reflect changes adopted in the 

consolidated FINRA rulebook and to 

make non-substantive technical changes 

to certain FINRA rules. 

The text of the proposed rule change 

is available on FINRA’s Web site at 

http://www.finra.org, at the principal 

office of FINRA and at the 

Commission’s Public Reference Room. 

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

In its filing with the Commission, 

FINRA 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. FINRA has prepared 

summaries, set forth in sections A, B, 

and C below, of the most significant 

aspects of such statements. 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

FINRA is in the process of developing 

a new consolidated rulebook 

(‘‘Consolidated FINRA Rulebook’’).4

That process involves FINRA submitting 

to the Commission for approval a series 

of proposed rule changes over time to 

adopt rules in the Consolidated FINRA 

Rulebook. The phased adoption and 

implementation of those rules 

necessitates periodic amendments to 

update rule cross-references and other 

non-substantive technical changes in 

the Consolidated FINRA Rulebook. 

The proposed rule change first would 

update rule cross-references to reflect 

recent changes adopted in the 

Consolidated FINRA Rulebook. The 

proposed rule change would update 

FINRA Rule 0150 to reflect the adoption 

into the Consolidated FINRA Rulebook 

of (1) FINRA Rule 2060 and the deletion 

of NASD Rule 3120,5 (2) FINRA Rules 

4120 and 4130 and the deletion of 

NASD Rules 3130 and 3131 and NASD 

IM–3130,6 and (3) FINRA Rules 5210 

and 5220 and the deletion of NASD 

Rules 3310 and 3320 and NASD IM– 

3310 and IM–3320.7 The rule crossreferences in FINRA Rule 6635 would 

be similarly updated to reflect the 

adoption of (1) FINRA Rule 2251 and 

the deletion of NASD Rule 2260,8 (2) 

FINRA Rules 5210 and 5520 and the 

deletion of NASD IM–3310 and IM–

available on the Commission’s Web site at http:// 

www.sec.gov/. 

3320,9 and (3) FINRA Rule 4120 and the 

deletion of NASD Rule 3130.10 Finally, 

the rule references in FINRA Rule 9217, 

which sets forth FINRA’s Minor Rule 

Violation Plan, would be updated to (1) 

delete the reference to Incorporated 

NYSE Rule 312(h) and (2) delete 

Incorporated NYSE Rule 421 and 

replace it with FINRA Rule 4521(d), as 

the provision is substantively similar.11

The proposed rule change also would 

amend FINRA Rules 6380A, 6380B, 

6622, 7230A, 7230B and 7330 to reflect 

the transfer of NASD Rule 11890 into 

the Consolidated FINRA Rulebook as 

part of a new FINRA Rule 11890 

Series.12 The proposed rule change 

would also make a non-substantive 

change to FINRA Rule 11893 to re-label 

paragraph (d) as paragraph (c). 

In addition, the proposed rule change 

would make a technical amendment to 

FINRA Rule 9610 to delete the reference 

to FINRA Rule 6183 as such rule has 

been removed from the Consolidated 

FINRA Rulebook. FINRA Rule 6183 

(formerly NASD Rule 5150) 

automatically terminated on July 9, 

2008.13

Finally, the proposed rule change 

would amend FINRA Rules 2251 14 and 

4110 15 to reflect a change in FINRA’s 

style convention when referencing 

federal securities laws. FINRA has filed 

the proposed rule change for immediate 

effectiveness. The implementation date 

for the proposed rule change to FINRA 

Rules 2251, 6380A, 6380B, 6622, 7230A, 

7230B, 7330, 9610, and 11893 will be 

February 15, 2010.16 The proposed rule 

change to FINRA Rule 0150 will be 

February 15, 2010, except the proposed 

rule change that would eliminate the 

references to NASD Rules 3130 and 

3131 and IM–3130 and add references to 

FINRA Rules 4120 and 4130, which will 

be implemented on February 8, 2010.17

The proposed rule change to FINRA 

Rule 6635 will be February 15, 2010, 

except the proposed rule change that 

would eliminate the reference to NASD 

Rule 3130 and add reference to FINRA 

Rule 4120, which will be implemented 

on February 8, 2010.18 The 

implementation date for the proposed 

rule change to FINRA Rules 4110 and 

9217 will be February 8, 2010.19

2. Statutory Basis 

FINRA believes that the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the provisions 

of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,20 which 

requires, among other things, that 

FINRA rules must 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. FINRA believes the 

proposed rule change will provide 

greater clarity to members and the 

public regarding FINRA’s rules. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

FINRA does not believe that the 

proposed rule change will result in 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 

Written comments were neither 

solicited nor received. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

Because the foregoing proposed rule 

change does not: (i) Significantly affect 

the protection of investors or the public 

interest; (ii) impose any significant 

burden on competition; and (iii) become 

operative for 30 days from the date on 

which it was filed, or such shorter time 

as the Commission may designate, it has 

become effective pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 21 and Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6) thereunder.22

At any time within 60 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 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.
