Rules of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission') is approving a proposed rule change filed by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC'). The proposed rule change amends SIPC Rule 400 ("Rule 400'), entitled "Rules Relating to Satisfaction of Customer Claims for Standardized Options,' which relates to the satisfaction of customer claims for standardized options under the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 ("SIPA'). Because SIPC rules have the force and effect as if promulgated by the Commission, the rules are published in Title 17 of the Code of Federal Regulations, where the rule change will be reflected.
