RIN 3235-AJ18

 
Regulation NMS

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange Commission published a document in 
the Federal Register on June 29, 2005 (70 FR 37496) adopting rules 
under Regulation NMS, including the redesignation of the national 
market system rules previously adopted under section 11A of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act''), and two amendments 
to the joint industry plans for disseminating market information. In 
that document, two paragraphs from Rule 11Aa3-2 under the Exchange Act 
were inadvertently omitted from their redesignation into Regulation 
NMS. This document corrects that omission by adding paragraphs 
(a)(8)(i) and (a)(8)(ii) to Rule 608 of Regulation NMS.

DATES: Effective date: August 29, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Daniel M. Gray, Market Structure 
Counsel, at (202) 551-5603 or David Liu, Attorney, at (202) 551-5645,

Station Place, 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549.

corrections to add paragraphs (a)(8)(i) and (a)(8)(ii) to Rule 608 of
