Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘SEA’’ or ‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2 notice is hereby given that on August 24, 2017, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (‘‘FINRA’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by FINRA. FINRA has designated the proposed rule change as constituting a ‘‘non-controversial’’ rule change under paragraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b–4 under the Act,3 which renders the proposal effective upon receipt of 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

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 FINRA is proposing a rule change relating to members’ filing obligations under FINRA Rule 6432 (Compliance with the Information Requirements of SEA Rule 15c2–11). The proposal implements a new electronic Form 211 in place of the current paper form. The proposed rule change does not make any changes to the text of FINRA rules. The text of the proposed rule change is available on FINRA’s Web site at https://www.finra.org, at the principal office of FINRA 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, FINRA 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. FINRA 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 SEA Rule 15c2–11 generally prohibits a broker-dealer from publishing any quotation for a security not listed or traded on a national securities exchange, or directly or indirectly, submitting any such quotation for publication, in any quotation medium,4 unless it has gathered and reviewed specified information about the issuer and security that is the subject of the quotation and has a reasonable basis under the circumstances for believing that such information is accurate in all material respects and obtained from a reliable source. The information requirements applicable to a security 4 Rule 15c2–11 defines ‘‘quotation medium’’ as any ‘‘ ‘interdealer quotation system’ or any publication or electronic communications network or other device which is used by brokers or dealers to make known to others their interest in transactions in any security, including offers to buy or sell at a stated price or otherwise, or invitations of offers to buy or sell.’’ PO 00000 Frm 00084 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 under SEA Rule 15c2–11 differ depending on the characteristics of the issuer and the security being quoted. FINRA Rule 6432 (Compliance with the Information Requirements of SEA Rule 15c2–11) facilitates member compliance with SEA Rule 15c2–11 by prescribing the method by which member firms must demonstrate to FINRA compliance with SEA Rule 15c2–11.5 Rule 6432 generally provides that no member shall initiate or resume quotations in a non-exchange-listed security unless the member demonstrates compliance by making a filing with, and in the form required by, FINRA (‘‘Form 211’’). FINRA currently requires members to comply with Rule 6432 by submitting a paper Form 211, which, pursuant to this filing, will be replaced with the proposed electronic Form 211. Form 211 is designed to gather pertinent information regarding the subject issuer and security, the member’s knowledge of and relationship with the issuer, and the member’s intended quotation activities with respect to the subject security. FINRA currently administers the Form 211 manually—in paper form—and members transmit the form to FINRA via mail, email, or fax. FINRA proposes to transition to an electronic Form 211, which would be accessible to member firms through FINRA’s Firm Gateway.6 The electronic Form 211 generally solicits the same information currently requested in the paper form 7 and, in addition to a cover page, contains five sections covering: (1) Issuer and security information; (2) information required pursuant to SEA Rule 15c2–11(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(4) or (a)(5), as applicable; (3) information required pursuant to paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(3) of SEA Rule 15c2–11; (4) 5 For purposes of Rule 6432, the term ‘‘nonexchange-listed security’’ means any equity security, other than a Restricted Equity Security (defined in FINRA Rule 6420(k)), that is not traded on any national securities exchange. See Rule 6432(e). 6 The Firm Gateway is a single point of service that allows members to quickly interact with FINRA. The Firm Gateway provides consolidated access to regulatory applications and filings, and FINRA’s electronic billing system; one-click quick access to common tasks, useful resources and key firm information; an at-a-glance view of important filing dates, tasks and events; and centralized FINRA Information Requests. The applications and filings that firms can access through the Firm Gateway include: Web CRD, IARD, OATS, Report Center and virtually all electronic regulatory filing applications, including FOCUS, Firm Profile, FINRA Contact System, and Rule 4530 Customer Complaints. 7 A copy of the proposed electronic Form 211 is attached as Exhibit 3.
