6182. Trade Reporting of Short Sales

Pursuant to applicable trade reporting rules, members must indicate on trade reports submitted to FINRA whether a transaction is a short sale or a short sale exempt transaction ("short sale reporting requirements"). The short sale reporting requirements apply to transactions in all NMS stocks, as defined in Rule 600(b) of SEC Regulation NMS. Thus, all short sale transactions in these securities reported to FINRA must carry a "short sale" indicator (or a "short sale exempt" indicator if it is a short sale transaction in a "covered security" that may be marked "short exempt" pursuant to SEC Regulation SHO).
