Confirmation of Securities Transactions--Extension of Comment

Period

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Extension of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange Commission is extending the public

comment period from June 15, 1994, to July 15, 1994, for proposed

amendments to Rule 10b-10 and a new rule, Rule 15c2-13, which would

require brokers, dealers, and municipal securities dealers to make

certain disclosures on their customer confirmations.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before July 15, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be submitted in triplicate to Jonathan G.

Katz, Secretary, Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street

NW., Washington, DC 20549. All comment letters should refer to File No.

S7-6-94. All comments received will be available for public inspection

and copying at the Commission's Public Reference Room, 450 Fifth Street

NW., Washington, DC 20549.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: C. Dirk Peterson, Senior Counsel,

(202) 942-0073, Securities and Exchange Commission, Division of Market

Regulation, 450 Fifth Street NW., Washington, DC 20549.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 9, 1994, the Commission proposed

for public comment amendments to Rule 10b-10 and a new rule, Rule 15c2-

13 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Securities Exchange Act

Release No. 33743, 59 FR 12767). Those proposals expanded the

information that brokers, dealers, and municipal securities would be

required to disclose on a customer confirmation. The proposals are

designed to aid investors in monitoring their securities transactions

and update the Commission's confirmation requirements to reflect

changes in the securities markets.

At the time these proposals were published, the Commission

established a 90-day comment period that expired on June 15, 1994. The

Commission has received several requests from interested persons to

extend the comment period. In light of the complex issues raised by

these proposals and the need to solicit the views of as many persons

who will be affected by the proposals as possible, the Commission is

extending the comment period 30 days. Accordingly, the comment period

is extended to July 15, 1994.

Dated: June 22, 1994.

By the Commission.

Margaret H. McFarland,

Deputy Secretary.
