Abstract: The amendments to Rule 17a-5(a) would, among other things, require a broker-dealer to file proposed Form Custody (17 CFR 249.1900) with its designated examining authority within 17 business days after the end of each calendar quarter and within 17 business days after the date selected for the annual report if that date is not the end of a calendar quarter. Form Custody would be designed to elicit information about broker-dealer custody of customer assets.
