Form F-8 60 Day Federal Register Notice

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 115 / Wednesday, June 15, 2022 / Notices
Further, the proposed changes to
enhance GSD stress testing to utilize
vendor-sourced data and establish a
back-up stress testing calculation would
not have any impact, or impose any
burden, on competition because this
proposal does not affect the respective
rights or obligations of Members that
utilize GSD’s services.
As such, the Clearing Agencies do not
believe that the proposed rule changes
would have any impact on competition.

thereunder,2 notice is hereby given that
on June 2, 2022 the Municipal
Securities Rulemaking Board (‘‘MSRB’’
or ‘‘Board’’) filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’ or
‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule
change as described in Items I, II, and
III below, which Items have been
prepared by the MSRB. The
Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule
change from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The MSRB filed with the Commission
a proposed rule change to amend:
(i) Rule A–11, on assessments for
municipal advisor professionals, to
modify the rate of assessment for the
annual professional fee for each person
associated with a municipal advisory
firm who is qualified as a municipal
advisor representative in accordance
with Rule G–3, on professional
qualification requirements, and for
whom the municipal advisory firm has
an active Form MA–I on file with the
Commission as of January 31st of each
year (each individual being a ‘‘covered
professional’’ and such fee amount on
each covered professional the
‘‘Municipal Advisor Professional
Fee’’); 3
(ii) Rule A–13, on underwriting and
transaction assessments for brokers,
dealers, and municipal securities
dealers (collectively, ‘‘dealers’’), to
modify the rate of assessments on
2 17

CFR 240.19b–4.
MA–I: Information Regarding Natural
Persons Who Engage in Municipal Advisory
Activities,’’ is an SEC form that must be completed
and filed by a municipal advisory firm with respect
to each natural person associated with the firm and
engaged in municipal advisory activities on the
firm’s behalf, including employees of the firm.
Independent contractors are included in the
definition of ‘‘employee’’ for these purposes. A
natural person doing business as a sole proprietor
must complete and file Form MA–I in addition to
Form MA. Form MA–I is also used to amend a
previously submitted form, including in such cases
where an individual is no longer an associated
person of the municipal advisory firm or no longer
engages in municipal advisory activities on the
firm’s behalf. See ‘‘Instructions for the Form MA
Series,’’ available at https://www.sec.gov/about/
forms/formmadata.pdf. For purposes of Rule A–11
and the calculation of the Municipal Advisor
Professional Fee, if a firm has filed an amendment
to indicate that an individual is no longer an
associated person of the municipal advisory firm or
no longer engages in municipal advisory activities
on its behalf, then that individual’s Form MA–I
would not be deemed as active for purposes of the
Municipal Advisor Professional Fee and would not
be counted in the January 31st calculation regarding
the assessment of the Municipal Advisor
Professional Fee.
