FINRA believes that the specified data
elements that will be disseminated for
MBS SPT and SBA-Backed ABS SPT
transactions provide information that
will allow market participants to
perform such an analysis.19 Moreover,
FINRA has represented that, in the
future, it could determine to propose
dissemination of additional data
elements that it believes would improve
transparency for such transactions.20
Additionally, the proposed reduction
in reporting times for MBS SPT and
SBA-Backed ABS transactions is an
important corollary to the expansion of
post-trade transparency for such
transactions. Timelier reporting should
be more conducive to the dissemination
of meaningful (and close-to-real time)
MBS SPT and SBA-Backed ABS
transaction information. The
Commission believes that reducing the
reporting period as set forth in the
proposal would result in important
trade information reaching the market
more quickly, thus contributing to
enhanced price transparency for the
MBS SPT and SBA-Backed ABS asset
classes.
Firms covered by these new reporting
requirements for MBS SPT and SBABacked ABS transactions could incur
certain compliance burdens. However,
the Commission believes that any such
burdens are justified by the overall
benefits of increasing transparency in
the MBS SPT and SBA-Backed ABS
markets. The Commission notes that
FINRA has proposed to shorten the
reporting period for MBS SPT and SBABacked ABS transactions in stages. The
Commission believes that this approach
is reasonably designed to ease the
compliance burdens on those affected
by the proposal without significantly
compromising FINRA’s ability to
disseminate more timely transaction
information for MBS SPT and SBABacked ABS transactions.
The Commission recognizes that the
$10 million dissemination cap FINRA
has proposed would, to a certain extent,
limit the transparency provided by
FINRA’s proposal.21 However, the
Commission notes that dissemination
caps are already in place for
transactions in other TRACE-Eligible

21 The Commission notes that, as calculated by
FINRA, the $10 million dissemination cap would
have limited the display of actual size for
approximately 80% of total volume traded in MBS
SPT and SBA-Backed ABS during the period May
16, 2011 through January 4, 2012. See Notice, 77

Securities.22 Moreover, public
dissemination of information on MBS
SPT and SBA-Backed ABS transactions
has heretofore not existed in the MBS
SPT and SBA-Backed ABS markets. The
dissemination cap will allow FINRA to
implement post-trade price
transparency in those markets
incrementally. Furthermore, FINRA has
represented that it will continue to
review the volume of and liquidity in
those markets and, if warranted in the
future, may propose that the
dissemination cap be set at a higher
level in order to provide additional
transparency.23
IV. Conclusion
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,24 that the
proposed rule change (SR–FINRA–
2012–042) be, and it hereby is,
approved.
For the Commission, by the Division of
Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated
authority.25
