BILLING CODE 8010-01-P SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION 17 CFR Part 240 [Release No. 34-51983A; File No. S7-02-04] RIN 3235-AI02 Amendments to the Penny Stock Rules AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission. ACTION: Final rule; corrections. SUMMARY: In Release No. 34-51983, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued amendments concerning the “penny stock rules” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which appeared in the **Federal Register** of July 13, 2005 (70 FR 40614).
