NASD Ruling Delay to April 1, 2004

NASD Notice to Members 04-08

Effective Date of Amendments to NASD Rule 3370 (Affirmative
Determination Requirements) Extended to April 1, 2004

Executive Summary

NASD is delaying the effective date of amendments to Rule 3370 (Prompt
Receipt and Delivery of Securities—the "Affirmative Determination"

amendments expand the scope of the affirmative determination

that some members need to make significant technological changes to
their systems to comply with the new requirements; therefore, NASD is
extending the effective date to provide members with additional time to
make such changes.
