FINRA has observed a small number of TRACE and ORF clients experiencing difficulties with their connections to the TRAQS website. FINRA is currently researching the problem.
TRAQS clients with questions regarding this issue should contact FINRA Market Operations at (866) 776-0800.
FINRA is issuing this Notice to remind members of their obligation to have systems or processes in place to determine whether a transaction in a TRACE-Eligible Security has occurred and is, therefore, reportable, even if it was not included on the TRACE security master list at the time of the transaction. In those circumstances, members should contact Market Operations to add the TRACE-Eligible Security to the security master list and report the transaction to TRACE.
For July 8, 2019, transactions disseminated for the below listed 57 Freddie Mac-issued mortgage-backed securities traded in specified pool transactions (MBS transactions) do not reflect the most recent reference data element updates provided by Freddie Mac on Saturday, July 6 2019. Consequently, the dissemination ID (RDID) used for MBS transactions in the below listed securities reflect reference data information as of July 5, 2019, as currently in the TRACE Issue Master.
Rule Filing Status: Filed for Immediate Effectiveness
Rule change to amend Rule 7470 (Exemption to the Order Recording and Data Transmission Requirements) to extend for three years FINRA’s ability to exempt certain members from the recording and reporting requirements of the Order Audit Trail System (“OATS”) Rules (“OATS Rules”) for manual orders received by the member.
Currently, in the Tier 1 5/13/19 weekly report, there is ATS data that is unattributed (that is, there is no ATS name associated with one line of data found in the ATS Data tab). See below:
FINRA is currently investigating the issue and will publish another Technical Notice once the issue has been resolved.
If you have any questions, please contact FINRA Business Services.
Last year, FINRA took several steps to engage with members regarding their current and planned activities relating to digital assets. These efforts included the issuance of Regulatory Notice 18-20, which encouraged firms to keep their Regulatory Coordinator informed if the firm, or its associated persons or affiliates, engaged, or intended to engage, in activities related to digital assets, including digital assets that are non-securities. Regulatory Notice 18-20 requested that firms provide these updates to Regulatory Coordinators until July 31, 2019.
