TRACE for Treasuries Re-platform User Acceptance Test

As part of its Transparency Services improvement initiative, beginning on February 26, 2024, FINRA will re-platform the TRACE for Treasuries (TS) product to a new Linux-based operating system. FINRA encourages testing participation in this effort to validate that all processes work within clients’ TRACE reporting framework.

FINRA will sponsor a production User Acceptance Test (UAT) on Saturday, January 6, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET. Clients who wish to participate in this test must register with FINRA Market Operations or at 866.776.0800 no later than noon on Thursday, January 4, 2024.  Any client who chooses to test should connect to their production systems on that day; the trading day will be Saturday, January 6, 2024.  FINRA will clear out all transactions at the end of the test. 

The conference line listed below will be open for the duration of the test. Due to a limited number of lines, firms should consider sharing the line if calling from the same location.
