  **第一項**  第七十七条の規定は、認定団体が投資者からの苦情（対象事業者に関するものに限る。）の解決を行う場合について準用する。この場合において、同条中「協会員又は金融商品仲介業者」とあるのは、「第七十九条の十一第一項に規定する対象事業者」と読み替えるものとする。

  The provisions of Article 77 apply mutatis mutandis when a certified organization works to resolve complaints from investors (limited complaints involving covered operators). In this case, in that Article, the term "association member or financial instruments intermediary service provider" is deemed to be replaced with "covered operators prescribed in Article 79-11, paragraph (1)".
