SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-33583; File No. SR-MSRB-94-02]

 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Municipal Securities Rulemaking 
Board, Notice of Extension of Comment Period Relating to Political 
Contributions and Prohibitions on Municipal Securities Business

February 4, 1994.
    On January 12, 1994, the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board 
(``MSRB'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission'') a proposed rule change (File No. SR-MSRB-94-02), 
pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
(``Act''), 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1), and Rule 29b-4 thereunder. The MSRB 
filed the proposal to adopt rules relating to political contributions 
and prohibitions on municipal securities business. Notice of the 
proposed rule change was provided by the issuance of a Commission 
release, Securities Exchange Act Release No. 33482 (January 14, 1994), 
and by publication in the Federal Register, 59 FR 3389 (January 21, 
1994).
    The Commission received a request for extension of the period for 
public comment on the proposed rule change.\1\ The Commission finds 
that the complexity and significance of the filing dictates a longer 
comment period to ensure complete analysis of the proposal.\2\ Thus, 
the Commission finds good cause, pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the 
Act, to extend the period for comment.
