TRACE-MSRB Cusips

April 12, 2019

It has come to FINRA’s attention that the securities listed below have been set up on FINRA’s TRACE system, but have previously also been identified as municipal securities. As a result, transactions in many of these securities have been reported to both TRACE and the MSRB’s Real-Time Transaction Reporting System (RTRS).

In light of the above, FINRA contacted several of these securities’ underwriters, who have determined that the securities meet the definition of “TRACE-Eligible Security” under FINRA rules. Accordingly, FINRA notes that transactions in these securities must be reported to TRACE:
