5At the time of the rule filing, the FINRA Rule 

7700 Series was the NASD Rule 7000 Series. The 

NASD Rule 7000 Series was renumbered as the 

FINRA Rule 7700 Series in 2008. See Securities 

Exchange Act Release No. 58643 (September 25, 

2008), 73 FR 57174 (October 1, 2008); see also 

FINRA Regulatory Notice 08–57 (October 2008). 6See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 55538 

(March 27, 2007), 72 FR 15924 (April 3, 2007) 

(Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of 

SR–NASD–2007–018). 7NASD Rule 7010 was later renumbered as 

FINRA Rule 7710. See Securities Exchange Act 

Release No. 58643 (September 25, 2008), 73 FR 

57174 (October 1, 2008). 8See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 55538

Rule 7700 Series 5 and amended certain 

other provisions.6 In that filing, NASD 

Rule 7010(g) was renumbered as NASD 

Rule 7010, renamed, and amended to 

apply only to the ORF.7 The 

amendments became operative on 

March 5, 2007.8 As FINRA stated in the 

filing, the amendments made to the rule 

language were not intended to modify 

any of the charges relating to the ORF. 

Although there was no intent to 

modify any charges in connection with 

reporting transactions to the ORF, the 

rule language, as amended, omits some 

securities from the rule because of the 

definition of ‘‘OTC Equity Security’’ in 

FINRA Rule 6420. The previous rule, 

NASD Rule 7010(g), included a catch-all 

provision that applied a charge of 

$0.029/side to the ‘‘reporting of all other 

transactions not subject to comparison.’’ 

This language included, for example, 

PORTAL equity securities, which are 

reported to the ORF pursuant to the 

PORTAL rules in the FINRA Rule 6630 

Series. The term ‘‘OTC Equity Security,’’ 

however, specifically excludes PORTAL 

securities and restricted securities from 

the definition.9 Thus, by using the 

defined term ‘‘OTC Equity Security,’’ 

the rule was inadvertently amended to 

exclude PORTAL equity securities from 

the scope of the rule. 

The proposed rule change would 

delete the reference to ‘‘OTC Equity 

Security’’ in FINRA Rule 7710 and 

clarify that the charge applies to the 

reporting of transactions in any security, 

not just OTC Equity Securities, to the 

ORF that are not subject to comparison 

through the ORF. 

FINRA has filed the proposed rule 

change for immediate effectiveness. The 

effective date and the implementation 

date will be the date of filing, June 17, 

2009. 

2. Statutory Basis 

FINRA believes that the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the provisions 

of Section 15A(b)(5) of the Act,10 which 

requires, among other things, that 

FINRA rules provide for the equitable 

allocation of reasonable dues, fees and 

other charges among members and 

issuers and other persons using any 

facility or system that FINRA operates 

or controls. FINRA believes that the 

proposed rule change clarifies the 

charges assessed with respect to 

transactions reported to the ORF and 

correctly reflects FINRA’s intent when 

amending the rule in SR–NASD–2007– 

018. 

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 

The foregoing rule change has become 

effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 

of the Act 11 and paragraph (f)(2) of Rule 

19b–4 thereunder.12 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.
