Purpose


The purpose and effect is to amend the existing rule to incorporate by reference the current versions of general industry standards and to incorporate one new material by reference, Regulation S-P § 248.30 (17 C.F.R. §248.30) (4-1-18 edition). Brokers, dealers, and federally covered advisers are already required to comply with Regulation S-P §248.30, which requires the adoption of written policies and procedures that address administrative, technical, and physical safeguards for the protection of customer records and information. Additionally, the proposed amendment reorders the rule and deletes duplicative provisions to improve organization.
