The Canadian Securities Administrators are seeking comment on the composition of the registration forms to be used by the National Registration Database.

In August 2000, the CSA published a notice requesting comments on three forms relating to the application for registration of dealer firms, advisor firms and individuals.

The CSA received five comment letters. As a result of the comments received and as development of the National Registration Database continues, CSA staff continue to modify the proposed registration forms.

To facilitate the development of the NRD, CSA staff are again requesting comments on the proposed forms. Rules and instruments associated with the implementation of NRD will be published for comment at a later date.

Comments on the forms are due by August 3, 2001. It says, “In light of the deadlines imposed on the CSA for development of the system, this deadline will be strictly observed.”
