The Rule sets forth standards for (i) a broker-dealer's acceptance, custody, and use of customer securities, and (ii) the maintenance of reserves with respect to customer deposits and monies obtained from the use of customer securities. The Commission is adopting new requirements designed to eliminate conflicting and duplicative customer protection, recordkeeping, and reporting regulations applicable to security futures products.
