SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Trade
Act of 2002, signed by the President on
August 6, 2002, provides that the
President shall conduct environmental
reviews of [certain] trade agreements
consistent with Executive Order
13121—(Environmental Review of
Trade Agreements (64 Fed. Reg. 63,169,
Nov. 18, 1999) and its implementing
guidelines (65 Fed. Reg. 79,442, Dec. 19,
2000) and report on such reviews to the
Committee on Ways and Means of the
House of Representatives and the
Committee on Finance of the Senate.
The Order and guidelines are available
at http://www.ustr.gov/Trade_Sectors/
Environment/Section_Index.html.
The purpose of environmental
reviews is to ensure that policymakers
and the public are informed about
reasonably foreseeable environmental
impacts of trade agreements (both
positive and negative), to identify
complementarities between trade and
environmental objectives, and to help
shape appropriate responses if
environmental impacts are identified.
Reviews are intended to be one tool,
among others, for integrating
environmental information and analysis
into the fluid, dynamic process of trade
negotiations. USTR and the Council on
Environmental Quality jointly oversee
implementation of the Order and
Guidelines. USTR, through the Trade
Policy Staff Committee (TPSC), is
responsible for conducting the
individual reviews.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The
Depository Trust Company; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of
a Proposed Rule Change To Clarify
Deposit Service Procedures To Help
Assure Compliance With OFAC
Regulations
December 8, 2006.
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Act’’),1 notice is hereby given that on
August 11, 2006, The Depository Trust
Company (‘‘DTC’’) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule
change as described in Items I, II, and
III below, which Items have been
prepared primarily by DTC. DTC filed
the proposed rule change pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 2 and Rule
19b–4(f)(1) 3 thereunder so that the
proposal was effective upon filing with
the Commission. The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change
from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The proposed rule change clarifies
recent changes to DTC’s Deposit Service
procedures.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission,
DTC included statements concerning
the purpose of and basis for the
proposed rule change and discussed any
comments it received on the proposed
rule change. The text of these statements
may be examined at the places specified
in Item IV below. DTC has prepared
summaries, set forth in Sections A, B,
1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

3 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(1).
PO 00000 Frm 00056 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\14DEN1.SGM
and C below, of the most significant
aspects of such statements.4
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
The proposed rule change clarifies
recent changes that DTC made to its
Deposit Service procedures.5 As part of
those changes, DTC requires
participants to certify to DTC that the
participant screened the name of the
party in whose name a deposited
security certificate is registered against
the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s
Office of Foreign Assets and Control
(‘‘OFAC’’) list of Specially Designated
Nationals and against OFAC’s
regulations and that there were no
matches identified by such comparison.
The purpose of this rule filing is to
clarify that if the certificate has been
assigned by the party in whose name the
security was registered, participants
only need to certify that they have
screened the name of the most recent
assignee and that there were no matches
identified.6
DTC believes that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the
requirements of Section 17A of the Act 7
and the rules and regulations
thereunder because it should improve
DTC’s ability to comply with applicable
laws thereby reducing regulatory risks
and associated costs to DTC and its
participants.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
DTC does not believe that the
proposed rule change will have any
impact or impose any burden on
competition.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
Written comments relating to the
proposed rule change have not been
solicited or received.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The foregoing rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)
of the Act 8 and Rule 19b–4(f)(1) 9
4 The Commission has modified the text of the
summaries prepared by FICC.
