Technology and Trading Roundtable

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Notice of roundtable discussion; date change.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange Commission will host a one day 
roundtable entitled ``Technology and Trading: Promoting Stability in 
Today's Markets'' to discuss ways to promote stability in markets that 
rely on highly automated systems. The market technology roundtable, 
which was scheduled for September 14, 2012, will now be held on October 
2, 2012. The roundtable at the Securities and Exchange Commission's 
Washington, DC headquarters is open to the public and will be webcast. 
As previously announced, the event will begin with a discussion on 
preventing errors, focusing on current best practices and practical 
constraints for creating, deploying and operating mission-critical 
systems, including those used to automatically generate and route 
orders, match trades, confirm transactions, and disseminate data. The 
afternoon session will focus on error response, with experts discussing 
how the market might employ independent filters, objective tests, and 
other real-time processes or crisis-management procedures to detect, 
limit, and possibly terminate erroneous market activities when they 
occur, thereby limiting the impact of such errors.

DATES: The roundtable discussion will take place on October 2, 2012. 
The Commission will accept comments regarding issues addressed at the 
roundtable until October 23, 2012.
