60 Day Notice

become operative for 30 days after the
date of filing. However, pursuant to
Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii), the Commission
may designate a shorter time if such
action is consistent with the protection
of investors and the public interest. In
its filing with the Commission, FINRA
has asked the Commission to waive the
30-day operative delay so that the
proposed rule change may become
operative immediately upon filing. As
noted above, the ongoing extenuating
circumstances of the COVID–19
pandemic make it impractical for
FINRA member firms to conduct the onsite inspection component of Rule
3110(c) at many or most locations.
Consequently, FINRA believes that
firms will have a considerable backlog
of 2020 inspections and that planning
on-site inspections for 2021 may be
impacted as well. FINRA stated that the
temporary proposed rule change would
help FINRA member firms meet their
obligations under Rule 3110(c) using a
regulatory alternative that would not
materially diminish, and is reasonably
designed to achieve, the investor
protection objectives of the inspection
requirements under these unique
circumstances.
The Commission believes that
waiving the operative delay is
consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest
because it would allow the proposed
change to become operative on the date
of filing and to provide immediate
temporary relief to firms during these
extenuating circumstances. In reaching
this conclusion, the Commission notes
the proposed rule change would provide
only temporary relief based on the
compelling health and safety concerns
and the operational challenges member
firms are facing due to the sustained
COVID–19 pandemic.36 Furthermore,
the Commission notes that the proposed
rule change would not relieve firms
from meeting the core regulatory
obligation to establish and maintain a
system to supervise the activities of
each associated person that is
reasonably designed to achieve
compliance with applicable securities
laws and regulations, and with
applicable FINRA rules that directly
serve investor protection. Accordingly,
the Commission waives the 30-day
operative delay and designates the
proposed rule change operative upon
filing.37
36 See

supra note 5.
purposes only of waiving the operative
delay, the Commission has considered the proposed
rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, and capital
formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).

At any time within 60 days of the
filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission summarily may
temporarily suspend such rule change if
it appears to the Commission that such
action is necessary or appropriate in the
public interest, for the protection of
investors, or otherwise in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act. If the
Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings
to determine whether the proposed rule
should be approved or disapproved.

Rule 6e–2 and Form N–6EI–1

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the
‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension
and approval.
Rule 6e–2 (17 CFR 270.6e–2) under
the Investment Company Act of 1940
(‘‘Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 80a) is an exemptive
rule that provides separate accounts
formed by life insurance companies to
fund certain variable life insurance
products, exemptions from certain
provisions of the Act, subject to
conditions set forth in the rule.
Rule 6e–2 provides a separate account
with an exemption from the registration
provisions of section 8(a) of the Act if
the account files with the Commission
Form N–6EI–1, a notification of claim of
exemption.
The rule also exempts a separate
account from a number of other sections
of the Act, provided that the separate
account makes certain disclosure in its
registration statements (in the case of
those separate accounts that elect to
register), reports to contractholders,
proxy solicitations, and submissions to
state regulatory authorities, as
prescribed by the rule.
Since 2008, there have been no filings
of Form N–6EI–1 by separate accounts.
Therefore, there has been no cost or
