SUBJECT: CNS REWRITE PHASE 2 JUNE 2004 SPECIFICATIONS FOR INTRA-DAY MESSAGES USING AN ISO 15022 FORMAT - NSCC ENHANCEMENTS TO THE CONTINUOUS NET SETTLEMENT (CNS) SYSTEM

This notice outlines the CNS enhancements for intra-day messages that are, subject to SEC approval, as appropriate, anticipated to be implemented in June 2004 as part of Phase 2 of NSCC’s CNS rewrite initiative.

On March 31, 2003 NSCC issued Important Notice A 5582 P&S 5152 which described the enhancements to the Continuous Net Settlement (CNS) System that are to take effect in June 2004. In section K of that notice it was stated that NSCC would introduce intra-day messages when a participant’s CNS position changes during the day cycle due to a same day settling trade received before noon or miscellaneous activity (miscellaneous activity could include money only or share only entries) processed throughout the day cycle. This message will be sent to participants using an ISO 15022 format throughout the day cycle. The settling trade information will also appear on the Cycle 2 Consolidated Trade Summary AutoRoute nos. 02040954 (MRO) and 02040953 (Print Image) produced at 1 PM ET and miscellaneous activity will appear on the Daytime Miscellaneous Activity Report AutoRoute nos. 02041236 (MRO) and 02041235 (Print Image) produced at 4 PM ET.
