Under sections 6 and 19 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, a registered or exempted exchange
must be organized and must have the capacity to carry out the
purposes of the Act and must have rules designed to protect
investors and the public interest. Rule 6a-3, originally adopted in
1950, is designed to enable the Commission to carry out its
oversight functions and to assure that such exchanges continue to
be in compliance with the Act. Rule 6a-3 includes other forms of
exchange organization, simplifies the existing rule language, and
provides an additional means of compliance for certain reporting
requirements.
