Rule 15Cc1-1 -- Withdrawal from Registration of Government Securities Brokers or Government Securities Dealers

---

1. Notice of withdrawal from registration as a government securities broker or government securities dealer pursuant to Section 15C(a)(1)(A) of the Act shall be filed on Form BDW in accordance with the instructions contained therein. Every notice of withdrawal from registration as a government securities broker or dealer shall be filed with the Central Registration Depository (operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.) in accordance with applicable filing requirements. Prior to filing a notice of withdrawal from registration on Form BDW, a government securities broker or government securities dealer shall amend Form BD in accordance with 17 CFR 400.5(a) to update any inaccurate information.
   
   
2. A notice of withdrawal from registration filed by a government securities broker or government securities dealer shall become effective for all matters on the 60th day after the filing thereof with the Commission, within such longer period of time as to which such government securities broker or government securities dealer consents or the Commission by order may determine as necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for the protection of investors, or within such shorter period of time as the Commission may determine. If a notice of withdrawal from registration is filed with the Commission at any time subsequent to the date of the issuance of a Commission order instituting proceedings pursuant to Section 15C(c) to censure, place limitations on the activities, functions or operations of, or suspend or revoke the registration of such government securities broker or government securities dealer, or if prior to the effective date of the notice of withdrawal pursuant to this paragraph (b), the Commission institutes such a proceeding or a proceeding to impose terms or conditions upon such withdrawal, the notice of withdrawal shall not become effective pursuant to this paragraph (b) except at such time and upon such terms and conditions as the Commission deems necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for the protection of investors.
   
   
3. Every notice of withdrawal filed with the Central Registration Depository pursuant to this section shall constitute a "report" filed with the Commission within the meaning of Sections 15(b), 15C(c), 17(a), 18(a), 32(a) and other applicable provisions of the Act.
   
   
4. The Commission, by order, may exempt any broker or dealer from the filing requirements provided in Form BDW under conditions that differ from the filing instructions contained in Form BDW.
