Self-Regulatory Organizations;
Municipal Securities Rulemaking
Board; Notice of Filing of a Proposed
Rule Change Consisting of Proposed
Amendments to the MSRB Rule G–14
RTRS Procedures, and the Real-Time

Subscription Service

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2
notice is hereby given that on March 19,
2015, the Municipal Securities
Rulemaking Board (the ‘‘MSRB’’ or
‘‘Board’’) filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the ‘‘SEC’’ or
‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule
change as described in Items I, II, and
III below, which Items have been
prepared by the MSRB. The
Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule
change from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The MSRB filed with the Commission
a proposed rule change consisting of
proposed amendments to the MSRB
Rule G–14 RTRS Procedures, and the
Real-Time Transaction Reporting
System and subscription service
(collectively, the ‘‘proposed rule
change’’). The MSRB is proposing that

the effective date for the proposed rule
change be no later than May 23, 2016
and announced by the MSRB in a notice
published on the MSRB Web site no
later than sixty (60) days prior to the
effective date.
The text of the proposed rule change
is available on the MSRB’s Web site at
www.msrb.org/Rules-andInterpretations/SEC-Filings/2015Filings.aspx, at the MSRB’s principal
office, and at the Commission’s Public
Reference Room.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission, the
MSRB included statements concerning
the purpose of and basis for the
proposed rule change and discussed any
comments it received on the proposed
rule change. The text of these statements
may be examined at the places specified
in Item IV below. The MSRB has
prepared summaries, set forth in
Sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant aspects of such statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
MSRB Rule G–14, on reports of sales
or purchases, requires brokers, dealers
and municipal securities dealers
(collectively ‘‘dealers’’) to report all
executed transactions in municipal
securities to RTRS within 15 minutes of
the time of trade, with limited
exceptions.3 RTRS serves the dual
objectives of price transparency and
market surveillance. Because a
comprehensive database of transactions
is needed for the surveillance function
of RTRS, Rule G–14, with limited
exceptions, requires dealers to report all
of their purchase-sale transactions to
RTRS, not only those that qualify for
public dissemination to serve the
transparency function of the system.4
The MSRB makes transaction data
available to the general public through
3 Transactions in securities without CUSIP
numbers, in municipal fund securities, and certain
inter-dealer securities movements not eligible for
comparison through a clearing agency are the only
transactions exempt from the reporting
requirements of Rule G–14.
4 In this respect, RTRS serves as an audit trail for
municipal securities trading, with the exception of
certain internal movements of securities within
dealers that currently are not required to be
reported, customer identifications, and other related
specific items of information. Compare
Consolidated Audit Trail, Release No. 34–67457
(July 18, 2012), 77 FR 45722 (August 1, 2012), File
No. S7–11–10.

the Electronic Municipal Market Access
(‘‘EMMA’’) Web site at no cost, and
disseminates such data through paid
subscription services to market data
vendors, institutional market
participants and others that subscribe to
the data feed.
As more fully described below, the
proposed rule change would enhance
the post-trade price transparency
information provided through RTRS by:
• Expanding the application of the
existing list offering price and takedown
indicator to cases involving distribution
participant dealers and takedown
transactions that are not at a discount
from the list offering price;
• eliminating the requirement for
dealers to report yield on customer trade
reports and, instead, enabling the MSRB
to calculate and disseminate yield on
customer trades;
• establishing a new indicator for
customer trades involving nontransaction-based compensation
arrangements; and
• establishing a new indicator for
alternative trading system (‘‘ATS’’)
transactions.
Expanding the Application of Existing
List Offering Price and RTRS Takedown
Indicator
Transaction reporting procedures
require dealers that are part of the
underwriting group for a new issuance
of municipal securities to include an
indicator on trade reports, which
indicator is disseminated to the public,
for transactions executed on the first
day of trading in a new issue with prices
set under an offering agreement for the
new issue. These transactions include
sales to customers by a sole underwriter,
syndicate manager, syndicate member
or selling group member at the
published list offering price for the
security (‘‘List Offering Price
Transaction’’) or by a sole underwriter
or syndicate manager to a syndicate or
selling group member at a discount from
the published list offering price for the
security (‘‘RTRS Takedown
Transaction’’). Such trade reports are
provided an end-of-day exception from
Rule G–14’s general 15-minute reporting
requirement.
Since the introduction of the List
Offering Price Transaction indicator in
2005 and RTRS Takedown Transaction
indicator in 2007, certain market
practices in this area have evolved.
First, outside of traditional underwriting
syndicates or selling groups, some
dealers have entered into long-term
marketing arrangements with other
dealers that serve in the syndicate or
selling group relating to purchases and
re-sales of new issue securities
