The Canadian Securities Administrators (the "CSA") are requesting comment on three forms (the "Forms") relating to the application for registration of dealer firms, adviser firms and individuals to replace Form 3, Form 4 and Form 1-U-2000. The Forms are available below.

The Forms will be used for the electronic filing of applications in all jurisdictions except Quebec following the implementation of the National Registration Database system("NRD"). Although the Commission des valeurs mobilières du Québec (the "CVMQ") is nota participant in the NRD, the CVMQ will adopt the Forms concurrent with their adoption by the other provincial and territorial securities regulatory authorities.

The NRD will be a Web-based system which will permit firm and individual registrants to file application information in electronic format. Information on the NRD will be accessible to regulators, registrants and, to a limited extent, the public.

The CSA request comments on the Forms at this time to facilitate the development of the NRD. Rules and instruments associated with the implementation of NRD will be published for comment at a later date. The Forms will be republished for comment at that time.

Comments

Interested parties are invited to make written submissions with respect to the Forms. Submissions received by September 15, 2000 will be considered.

Comment letters submitted in response to requests for comments are placed on the public file in certain jurisdictions and form part of the public record, unless confidentiality is requested. Comment letters will be circulated among the securities regulatory authorities, whether or not confidentiality is requested. Although comment letters requesting confidentiality will not be placed on the public file, freedom of information legislation in certain jurisdictions may require the securities regulatory authorities in those jurisdictions to make comment letters available. Persons submitting comment letters should therefore be aware that the press and members of the public may be able to obtain access to any comment letters.
