Executive Summary
NASD is issuing this Notice to advise firms and other
Proposed Rule Change to Adopt FINRA Rule 2121 (Fair Prices and Commissions), Supplementary Material .01 (Mark-Up Policy) and Supplementary Material .02 (Additional Mark-Up Policy For Transactions in Debt Securities, Except Municipal Securities) in the Consolidated FINRA Rulebook
Background
In response to the March 2017 Special Notice on Engagement issued as part of FINRA360, FINRA received a number of comments and suggestions regarding engagement in connection with FINRA's rulemaking process. After carefully reviewing and analyzing the comments, FINRA is taking a number of actions to address the comments and suggestions that it received.
Rulemaking Process
NASDR has filed with the SEC a proposed rule change to National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Rules 3010 and 3110 to implement the effective date of recently-approved amendments to these rules. The amendments allow firms to develop flexible procedure for the review of correspondence with the public.
NASD has filed with the SEC a proposed rule change to the NASD Code of Arbitration Procedure to reorganize and simplify the current rules governing customer disputes. The proposed rule change would also codify current practices and implement several substantive changes as described herein.
NASD has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC" or "Commission") a proposed rule change to repeal NASD Rule 6440(f) in light of proposed rule changes that have recently been approved by the Commission expanding market order protection and limit order protection to exchange-listed securities.
Proposed Rule Change to Extend the Implementation of FINRA Rule 4240 (Margin Requirements for Credit Default Swaps)

This really sounds like it will do nothing. This comment period is insulting, as if you don’t know what retail wants. Transparency and actually enforce the “rules” you have, which seem more like guidelines. Rule breakers make a billion and get fined a million, how does this help?
