To Establish a Revised Effective Date For Amendments to Order Audit Trail System Rules Relating to Execution Reports

NASD has filed with the SEC a proposed rule change to establish October 4, 2004 as the effective date of the amendments to Rule 6954(d) that the SEC approved in April 2004. The amendments require that members record and report the execution price and firm capacity in Order Audit Trail Systems ("OATS") Execution Reports.
