protection by making available, via
BrokerCheck, information regarding the
professional background, business
practices, and conduct of firms and
associated persons that were members
solely of a national securities exchange.
Making this information available via
BrokerCheck harmonizes the disclosure
across the securities industry. The
information is relevant to investors and
members of the public who wish to
educate themselves with respect to a
firm or the professional history of a
current or formerly associated person of
a CRD Exchange. Further, the public’s
ability to access information regarding a
firm or current or former associated
person, whether the individual is or was
associated with FINRA or with any
national securities exchange that uses
CRD for registration purposes, may
serve to protect investors, the integrity
of the marketplace, and the public
interest. The Commission urges the
public to utilize BrokerCheck as well as
all other sources of information,
particularly the databases of the state
regulators, as well as legal search
engines, and records searches, to
conduct a thorough search of a firm or
any associated person’s activities.
Furthermore, the proposed rule
change is consistent with the provisions
of Section 15A(i)(1) of the Act,16 which
require, among other things, that FINRA
maintain a toll-free telephone listing
and a readily accessible electronic or
other process to receive and promptly
respond to inquiries regarding
registration information on CRD
Exchange members and their associated
persons. The proposed amendments
require FINRA to release information
through BrokerCheck about CRD
Exchange members and their associated
persons,17 harmonizing the information
available about broker-dealers and their
associated persons across the industry.
Finally, the Commission reiterates the
need for FINRA to continuously strive
to improve BrokerCheck to enhance its
value as a tool for the public to use in
deciding whether to work with a firm or
a particular associated person.18 The
suggestions for enhancement made by
the commenter while outside the scope
of this proposal should be considered.

of Countries Under Section 182 of the
Trade Act of 1974: Request for Public
Comment and Announcement of
Public Hearing
Office of the United States
Trade Representative.
ACTION: Request for written submissions
from the public and announcement of
public hearing.
AGENCY:
Section 182 of the Trade Act
of 1974 (Trade Act) (19 U.S.C. 2242)
requires the United States Trade
Representative (Trade Representative) to
identify countries that deny adequate
and effective protection of intellectual
property rights (IPR) or deny fair and
equitable market access to U.S. persons
who rely on intellectual property
protection. The provisions of Section
182 are commonly referred to as the
‘‘Special 301’’ provisions of the Trade
Act. The Trade Act requires the Trade
Representative to determine which, if
any, of these countries to identify as
Priority Foreign Countries. Acts,
policies, or practices that are the basis
of a country’s identification as a Priority
Foreign Country can be subject to the
procedures set out in sections 301–305
of the Trade Act.
In addition, the Office of the United
States Trade Representative (USTR) has
created a ‘‘Priority Watch List’’ and
‘‘Watch List’’ to assist the
Administration in pursuing the goals of
the Special 301 provisions. Placement of
a trading partner on the Priority Watch
List or Watch List indicates that
particular problems exist in that country
with respect to IPR protection,
enforcement, or market access for
persons that rely on intellectual
property protection. Trading partners
