Technical Amendments to Form BD and Form BDW

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 99 / Tuesday, May 23, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 32963 1A ‘‘full withdrawal’’ terminates registration with the Commission, all SROs, and all jurisdictions. However, a ‘‘partial withdrawal’’ terminates registration with specific jurisdictions and SROs, but does not terminate registration with the Commission and at least one SRO and jurisdiction. 2Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Exchange Act’’) provides that broker-dealers can register and withdraw from registration under procedures developed by the Commission. Exchange Act Rule 15b1–1 requires that an application for registration of a broker or dealer that is filed pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Exchange Act be filed on Form BD in accordance with the instructions on the form. Exchange Act Rule 15b6– 1 requires that a notice of withdrawal from registration as a broker or dealer filed pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Exchange Act be filed on Form BDW in accordance with the instructions on the form. See 15 U.S.C. 78o; 17 CFR 240.15b1–1 and 15b6–1.
