The NASD Board of Governors is concerned that some NASD members may not have sufficient time to comment on NASD proposals published in Notices to Members because the appropriate person in the firm does not receive the notices on a timely basis. The NASD normally provides a thirty-day period in which members and other interested persons can submit comments on proposed new rules or amendments to current rules.
