FINRA Notice 15-51
Summary
December 2015
Pursuant to rule amendments that will be effective February 1, 2016, FINRA is introducing a new category of trade submissions—clearing-only, non- regulatory reports—that firms can use to submit to clearing those OTC transactions in equity securities that have been previously reported through a FINRA facility.1 Clearing-only, non-regulatory reports cannot be used for regulatory reporting purposes. As such, firms can only use these reports where their regulatory reporting obligations to FINRA have been satisfied through other submissions (tape reports, i.e., submitted for public dissemination purposes, or non-tape reports).
The amended rule text is available in the online FINRA Manual.
