Rule 201 is a short sale-related circuit breaker rule that, when triggered by an intra-day decline in the price of a covered security of 10% or more from the prior dayÂs closing price for the covered security as determined by the covered securityÂs listing market, will apply for the remainder of the day and the following day a price test restriction that restricts short sales at or below the current national best bid for the particular covered security. Rule 200(g) will add a new marking requirement of Âshort exempt. In particular, if the broker-dealer chooses to rely on its own determination that it is submitting the short sale order to the trading center at a price that is above the current national best bid at the time of the submission, or to rely on an exception specified in the rule, it must mark the order as Âshort exempt.Â
This is an amendment to Rule 200(g) that results in a new collection of information. The information collected will also enable the Commission and SROs to examine for compliance with the requirements of these provisions. The total approximate estimated annual hour burden per year is 4,904,520 burden hours.
