It should be noted that October 8, November 6, and November 12 shall be considered as business days for receiving customers' payments under Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board.
The foregoing settlement dates should be used by broker-dealers and municipal securities dealers for purposes of clearing and settling transactions pursuant to the Association's Uniform Practice Code and Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board Rule G-12 on Uniform Practice.
Questions regarding the application of these settlement dates to a particular situation may be directed to the Uniform Practice Department of the NASD at (212) 839-6256.
* Pursuant to Section 4(c)(2) of Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board, a broker-dealer must promptly cancel or otherwise liquidate a customer purchase transaction in a cash account if full payment is not received within seven (7) business days of the date of purchase or, pursuant to Section 4(c)(6), make application to extend the time period specified. The date by which members must take such action is shown in the column entitled "Regulation T Date."
