AGENCY:

Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION:

Correcting amendment.

SUMMARY:

In connection with rules adopted in Release No. 34-40761 (December 8, 1998), 63 FR 70952 (December 22, 1998) (“Original Release”), the Commission is making a technical correction to the delegation of authority to the Director of the Division of Market Regulation appearing in the Commission's Rules of Practice and Investigations. Specifically, the Commission is correcting a cross-reference appearing in the delegation.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

February 20, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Frances Sienkiewicz, Securities and Exchange Commission, at (202) 551-5418.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Commission is making a technical correction to Rule 30-3(a)(59) of its Rules of Practice and Investigations. Currently, Rule 30-3(a)(59) contains a cross-reference to paragraph (e)(6)(iii) of Rule 19b-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In connection with the adoption in the Original Release of a new paragraph (e) to Rule 19b-4, the cross-reference to paragraph (e)(6)(iii) of Rule 19b-4 appearing in Rule 30-3(a)(59) should have been redesignated as paragraph (f)(6)(iii) of Rule 19b-4, to reflect the redesignation of former paragraph (e) of Rule 19b-4 as paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4. This document corrects that cross-reference.
