SUBJECT:  NSCC INTRODUCES NEW RECORD LAYOUTS AND TIME SCHEDULES FOR INTRA-DAY REPORTING OF TRADE OUTPUT FOR ALL MARKETS

National Securities Clearing Corporation ("NSCC"), a subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, is planning to provide intra-day reporting of trade output from all market places to help pave the way for a straight-through-processing (STP) environment. Intra-day reporting of trading activity is a building block in achieving a T+1 settlement cycle.

NSCC’s trade reporting of equity trading activity on behalf of the various market places has, historically, been limited to reporting at the end of the trading / processing day. Improvements in technology during the last few years along with significant increases in trading volume have resulted in the intra-day reporting of trading activity to NSCC by a variety of participants and market places. In preparation for the move towards shortened settlement cycles, NSCC will begin creating contract output for participants on a multi-cycle intra-day basis to report activity that has been submitted by, or on behalf of, participants intra-day. Such reporting will provide NSCC participants with trade information on an earlier and more frequent basis as well as increase NSCC’s processing capacity.

Multi-cycle output schedule:
It is anticipated that the new output will be available to participants on a test basis beginning in September 2001 and into next year according to the following schedule:

New York Stock Exchange --- September 2001
Nasdaq/OTC --- September 2001
Correspondent Clearing --- October 2001
Regional Trade Activity --- November 2001
American Stock Exchange --- First Quarter 2002

Note: Print image output will not be available intra-day

Next Steps:
Discussions with industry groups, market places and organizations responsible for developing messaging standards have been concluded and a new unified format was developed by NSCC for intra-day trade reporting of trading activity for all markets. The unified output format is being introduced to accommodate virtually all data elements represented by FIX "trade capture reporting" standards.

There will be no changes to the existing methods of trade reporting. End-of-day print and data files will continue to be provided; however participants are advised that NSCC is planning to discontinue all end-of-day reporting of trading activity by year-end 2002. NSCC encourages participants to parallel test the new intra-day output with the end-of-day output during the time period beginning in the third quarter of 2001 and ending in the fourth quarter of 2002.

As the various trade reporting systems are prepared to roll out the intra-day trade reporting output, notices will be issued that explain the mapping of current end-of-day output files to the new intra-day files. In addition the notices will define the approximate time of the data files availability.

The new unified machine readable output (MRO) format for intra-day trade reporting is attached to this notice. This file format, as well as all other participant file formats, are available for your use at NSCC's website, http://formats.nscc.com

Questions regarding this change or this notice may be e-mailed to the undersigned at gkrobisch@dtcc.com or contact your DTCC Relationship Manager or Participant Services Representative at (212) 855-4155.
