Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 165 / Monday, August 30, 2021 / Notices
the adoption of similar membership, registration and qualification rules by BXs affiliated exchanges. In that rule change, BX amended its Rule 1050 now General 9, Section 51 to remove references to NASD Rules 2711, 1050, 1022 and 1120 and it replaced those references with FINRA Rules 1120, 1250, and 2241.9 The reference to FINRA Rule 1120 was in error because, at that time, FINRA Rule 1120 did not exist. NASD Rule 1120 was adopted as FINRA Rule 1250.10 Also, the references to FINRA Rule 1250 were in error because FINRA Rule 1250 was renumbered as FINRA Rule 1240.11 Of note, NASD Rules 1050 Registration of Research Analysts and 1022 Categories of Principal Registrations were superseded by the FINRA Rule 1200
Series but this was not reflected within SRFINRA2018078 sic.12
At this time, Nasdaq sic proposes to remove the incorrect references to FINRA Rules 1120 and 1250 as such rules do not exist. The Exchange proposes to update the reference to FINRA Rule 1250 with a reference to current FINRA Rule 1240. The Exchange also proposes to add references to FINRA Rules 1220a6, a14, and b6, because they correspond to previous NASD Rules 1050 and 1022.
These changes would reflect the current FINRA rules relating to research analysts.
2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 6b of the Act,13 in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6b5 of the Act,14
in particular, in that it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade and to protect investors and the public interest. The Exchanges proposal to remove inaccurate FINRA rule references from General 9, Section 51
and replace them with references to current FINRA rules that apply to research analysts and sic is consistent with the Act. The Exchanges proposal will align Nasdaqs sic rule to FINRA
rules.
