SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 8, 2004, the Commission published for comment the SRO Proposed Rulemaking.1 These proposed new rules and amendments to existing rules relate to the governance, administration, transparency, and ownership of SROs that are national securities exchanges or registered securities associations, and the periodic reporting of information by these SROs regarding their regulatory programs. The proposals also relate to the listing and trading by SROs of their own or affiliated securities. The Commission received requests from interested persons to extend the comment period for this release to March 8, 2005, to coincide with the comment period for the Concept Release Concerning Self-Regulation.2 The Commission believes that extending the comment period for the SRO Proposed Rulemaking is appropriate in order to give the public additional time to comment on the matters the release addresses. Accordingly, the comment period for the SRO Proposed Rulemaking is extended to March 8, 2005. By the Commission. Jill M. Peterson Dated: January 11, 2005 1 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 50699 (Nov. 18, 2004), 69 FR 71126 (Dec. 8, 2004). 2 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 50700 (Nov. 18, 2004), 69 FR 71256 (Dec. 8, 2004).
