Rule 6a-1 states that the Commission may not grant an entity registration as a national securities exchange unless it finds, among other things, that the exchange is so organized so that it has the capacity to carry out the purposes of and to comply with the Exchange Act. Rule 6a-1 also directs entities seeking exchange registration (or seeking exemption from registration based on limited volume) to provide information on Form 1 that would enable the Commission to make this determination. Rule 6a-2 directs registered and exempt exchanges to notify the Commission of any material amendments to the information provided in the initial Form 1 and to make periodic updates of certain information provided in the initial Form 1.
US Code:
15 USC 7af(a)
Name of Law: Securities Exchange Act of 1934
The estimated burden associated with Rule 6a-2 has been adjusted to reflect the fact that, since the last time the SEC sought OMB approval for the collection of information pursuant to Rules 6a-1 and 6a-2 and Form 1, the number of registered national securities exchanges has increased from 18 to 21.
