RIN 3235-AI02


Amendments to the Penny Stock Rules

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; corrections.

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

SUMMARY: In Release No. 34-51983, the Securities and Exchange 
Commission issued amendments concerning the ``penny stock rules'' under 
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which appeared in the Federal 
Register of July 13, 2005 (70 FR 40614). In Release No. 34-51808, the 
Commission issued Regulation NMS, which appeared in the Federal 
Register of June 29, 2005 (70 FR 37496), and which, among other things, 
made technical amendments to the definition of penny stock. Since the 
effective date of Regulation NMS predates that of the amendments to the 
penny stock rules, the Commission is making technical corrections to 
the amendments to the penny stock rules to conform to the changes made 
in connection with Regulation NMS.

DATES: Effective September 12, 2005.
