Proposed Rule 41.42 would require
firms that are registered with both the SEC as a broker or dealer
and with the CFTC as a futures commission merchant to make choices
and disclosures as to how customer transactions in security futures
products will be treated. The proposed rule is specifically
designed to avoid application of duplicative or conflicting
regulations to such dually registered firms.
