Abstract:
Rule 204 is intended to help further the Commissions goal of reducing fails to deliver by maintaining the reductions in fails to deliver achieved by the adoption of temporary Rule 204T, as well as other actions taken by the Commission. In addition, Rule 204 is intended to help further the Commissions goal of addressing abusive naked short selling in all equity securities. The information collected will continue to assist the Commission and self-regulatory organizations in monitoring whether or not participants of a registered clearing agency, and the broker-dealers from which they receive trades for clearance and settlement, are complying with the close-out and borrowing requirements of the rule.

Burden Reduction Due to:
Miscellaneous Actions
Short Statement:
The decrease in the total aggregate time burden of 1,871 hours is due to a decrease in the number of registered broker-dealers and the number of participants of NSCC from the prior time period combined with a slight increase in the number of securities affected. The discrepancy of two hours between the supporting statement and ROCIS summary of burden (1,849,224 vs 1,849,222) is due to the rounding calculation of the ROCIS application.
