(‘‘Act’’),3 in general, and furthers the 

objectives of Section 6(b)(4) 4 of the Act 

in particular, in that it is designed to

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

No written comments were solicited 

or received with respect to the proposed 

rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

The proposed rule change is 

designated by the Exchange as 

establishing or changing a due, fee, or 

other charge, thereby qualifying for 

effectiveness on filing pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) 5 of the Act and 

subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b–4 6

I. Introduction 

On August 10, 2010, the Municipal 

Securities Rulemaking Board (‘‘MSRB’’), 

filed with the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant 

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

proposed rule change’’). 

4 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). 

5 17 CFR 240.19b–4. 

6 In Amendment No. 1, the MSRB partially 

amends the text of the original proposed rule 

change to correct a typographical error in the 

definition of the data element Liquidity Facility 

Type. In all other respects, the original proposed 

rule change remains as originally filed. This is a 

technical amendment and is not subject to notice 

and comment. 

7The proposed subscription price would cover a 

portion of the administrative, technical and 

operating costs of the SHORT subscription service 

but would not cover all costs of such subscription 

service or of the SHORT System. The MSRB has 

proposed establishing the subscription price at a 

commercially reasonable level.

Commission notes that it has considered the 

proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition 

and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).

rule change to establish a subscription 

to the information collected by the 

MSRB’s Short-term Obligation Rate 

Transparency (‘‘SHORT’’) System. The 

proposed rule change was published for 

comment in the Federal Register on 

August 23, 2010.3 The Commission 

received no comment letters about the 

proposed rule change. On September 16, 

2010, the MSRB filed with the 

Commission, pursuant to Section 

19(b)(1) of the Exchange Act 4 and Rule 

19b–4 thereunder,5 Amendment No. 1 

to the proposed rule change.6 This order 

approves the proposed rule change as 

modified by Amendment No. 1. 

II. Description of the Proposed Rule 

Change, As Modified by Amendment 

No. 1 to the Proposed Rule Change 

The SHORT System is a facility of the 

MSRB for the collection and 

dissemination of information about 

securities bearing interest at short-term 

rates. Currently, these securities consist 

of Auction Rate Securities (‘‘ARS’’) and 

Variable Rate Demand Obligations 

(‘‘VRDOs’’). The proposed rule change 

consists of a proposal to establish a 

subscription to the information 

collected by the SHORT System. The 

data stream subscription would be 

provided through a Web service and 

would be made available for an annual 

fee of $10,000.7

Information disseminated from the 

SHORT System also is posted to the 

MSRB’s Electronic Municipal Market 

Access (EMMA) Web portal pursuant to 

the EMMA short-term obligation rate 

transparency service. Such information 

would be made available to subscribers 

simultaneously with the availability of 

such information to the EMMA Web 

portal. The subscription service would 

make the information collected by the 

SHORT System available to market 

participants for re-dissemination and for 

use in creating value-added products 

and services. Such re-dissemination and 

third-party use would provide market 

participants, including investors and the 

general public, additional avenues for 

obtaining the information collected by 

the SHORT System and would make 

additional tools available for making 

well-informed investment decisions. 

Data elements with respect to the 

SHORT subscription service that would 

be provided through the data stream 

would be set forth in the SHORT System 

Subscriber Manual posted on the MSRB 

Web site. The SHORT System 

Subscriber Manual would provide a 

complete, up-to-date listing of all data 

elements made available through the 

SHORT subscription service, including 

any additions, deletions or 

modifications to disseminated data 

elements, detailed definitions of each 

data element, specific data format 

information, and information about 

technical data elements to support 

transmission and data-integrity 

processes between the SHORT System 

and subscribers. 

Subscriptions would be provided 

through computer-to-computer data 

streams utilizing XML files for data. 

Appropriate schemas and other 

technical specifications for accessing 

the Web services through which the 

data stream will be provided would be 

set forth in the SHORT System 

Subscriber Manual posted on the MSRB 

Web site. 

The MSRB would make the SHORT 

subscription service available on an 

equal and non-discriminatory basis. 

Subscribers would be subject to all of 

the terms of the subscription agreement 

to be entered into between the MSRB 

and each subscriber, including 

proprietary rights of third parties in 

information provided by such third 

parties that is made available through 

the subscription. The MSRB would not 

be responsible for the content of the 

information submitted by submitters 

that is distributed to subscribers of the 

SHORT subscription service. 

The MSRB has requested that the 

proposed rule change be made effective 

on September 30, 2010. 

III. Discussion and Commission 

Findings 

The Commission has carefully 

considered the proposed rule change 

and finds that the proposed rule change 

is consistent with the requirements of 

the Exchange Act and the rules and 

regulations thereunder applicable to the 

MSRB8 and, in particular, the 

requirements of Section 15B(b)(2)(C) of 

the Exchange Act 9 and the rules and 

regulations thereunder. Section 

15B(b)(2)(C) of the Exchange Act 

requires, among other things, that the 

MSRB’s rules be designed to prevent 

fraudulent and manipulative acts and 

practices, to promote just and equitable 

principles of trade, to foster cooperation 

and coordination with persons engaged 

in regulating, clearing, settling, 

processing information with respect to, 

and facilitating transactions in 

municipal securities, to remove 

impediments to and perfect the 

mechanism of a free and open market in 

municipal securities, and, in general, to 

protect investors and the public 

interest.10 In particular, the Commission 

believes that the SHORT subscription 

service would serve as an additional 

mechanism by which the MSRB works 

toward removing impediments to and 

helping to perfect the mechanisms of a 

free and open market in municipal 

securities. The subscription service 

would make the information collected 

by the SHORT System available to 

market participants for re-dissemination 

and for use in creating value-added 

products and services. Such redissemination and third-party use 

would provide market participants, 

including investors and the general 

public, additional avenues for obtaining 

the information collected by the SHORT 

System and would make additional 

tools available for making well-informed 

investment decisions. Broad access to 

the information collected by the SHORT 

System, in addition to the public access 

through the EMMA Web portal, should 

further assist in preventing fraudulent 

and manipulative acts and practices by 

improving the opportunity for public 

investors to access material information 

about Auction Rate Securities and 

Variable Rate Demand Obligations. 

Furthermore, broader redissemination and third-party use of the 

information collected by the SHORT 

System should promote a more fair and 

efficient municipal securities market in 

which transactions are effected on the 

basis of material information available 

to all parties to such transactions, which 

should allow for fairer pricing of 

transactions based on a more complete 

understanding of the terms of the 

securities (including any changes 

thereto).

IV. Conclusion 

For the foregoing reasons, the 

Commission finds that the proposed 

rule change, as amended, is consistent 

with the Exchange Act and the rules and 

regulations thereunder applicable to the 

MSRB and, in particular, the 

requirements of Section 15B(b)(2)(C) of 

the Exchange Act 11 and the rules and 

regulations thereunder. The proposal 

will become effective on September 30, 

2010, as requested by the MSRB. 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Exchange Act,12

that the proposed rule change (SR– 

MSRB–2010–06), as amended, be, and it 

hereby is, approved. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.13

Abstract of Proposed Collection 

To meet OMB and Congressional 

reporting requirements, this request for 

a revised information collection 

clearance will allow ECA/P/V to 

continue to conduct surveys of 

exchange participants from various ECA 

exchange programs. Collecting this data 

will help ECA/P/V assess and measure 

programs’ effectiveness and impact, as 

well as provide valuable feedback on 

the program from the participants’ 

perspective. ECA/P/V will most 

frequently conduct data collections 

efforts via electronic surveys, but when 

necessary may also utilize paper 

surveys. The majority of respondents 

will include either active exchange 

program participants or alumni of 

exchange programs conducted by ECA 

that are included in either performance 

measurement or evaluations studies. 

Methodology 

Performance measurement and 

evaluation data will be collected 

primarily through electronic surveys, 

but may also be done via paper surveys 

when access to computers is not 

possible. 

Additional Information 

This revised clearance request is 

based on the previous ECA/P/V 

information collection which submitted 

a question bank of possible questions 

ECA/P/V might use in surveys. This is 

necessary since large portions of these 

surveys will share the same questions, 

and this collection will avoid 

duplicating work load. For this 

submission, the question bank has been 

further refined and edited based on 

anticipated collection of evaluation or 

performance measurement data during 

the next clearance period.
