Abstract: Rule 19b-4 under Section 19b-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires each self-regulatory organization to file with the Commission on Form 19b-4 any proposed rule, or any proposed change in, addition to, or deletion from the rules of such SRO. The rule is designed to allow the Commission to review proposed rule changes and to solicit public comment on whether they should be approved or disapproved. 2023 PROPOSED AMENDMENT: No Change in Burden. The proposed amended Rule 19b-4(j) would no longer require that the signatory to an electronically submitted Form 19b-4 manually sign a signature page or other document authenticating, acknowledging, or otherwise adopting his or her signature that appears in typed form within the electronic filing, execute that document before or at the time the rule filing is electronically submitted, and retain that document for its records in accordance with Rule 17a-1. The proposed amended Form 19b-4 and the instructions to Form 19b-4 no longer require that a duly authorized officer of the SRO manually sign one copy of the completed Form 19b-4 and that the manually signed signature page be maintained pursuant to section 17 of the Exchange Act.
