[Release No. 34–86706; File No. SR–FINRA–
2019–019]
Self-Regulatory Organizations;
Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Order Approving
Proposed Rule Change To Expand
OTC Equity Trading Volume Data
Published on FINRA’s Website
August 19, 2019.
I. Introduction
On July 1, 2019, the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(‘‘FINRA’’) filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’),
pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2 a
proposed rule change to amend FINRA
Rules 6110 and 6610 to expand the
summary firm data relating to over-thecounter (‘‘OTC’’) equity trading that
FINRA publishes on its website. The
proposed rule change was published for
comment in the Federal Register on July
11, 2019.3 The Commission received
two comment letters in support of the
proposed rule change.4 This order
approves the proposed rule change.
II. Description of the Proposal
Currently, FINRA publishes certain
volume information for OTC
transactions in NMS stocks 5 and OTC
Equity Securities,6 that are executed
1 15
U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
CFR 240.19b–4.
3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 86315
(July 5, 2019), 84 FR 33098 (July 11, 2019)
(‘‘Notice’’).
4 See letters to Vanessa Countryman, Secretary,
Commission from: Ray Ross, Chief Technology
Officer, Clearpool Group (‘‘Clearpool’’), dated
August 1, 2019 (‘‘Clearpool Letter’’); Stephen John
Berger, Managing Director, Global Head of
Government & Regulatory Policy, Citadel Securities
(‘‘Citadel’’), dated August 1, 2019 (‘‘Citadel Letter’’).
5 ‘‘NMS stock’’ is defined in Rule 600(b)(47) of the
Commission’s Regulation NMS. See 17 CFR
242.600(b)(47).
6 ‘‘OTC Equity Security’’ means any equity
security that is not an NMS stock, other than a
Restricted Equity Security. See FINRA Rule 6420(f).
A ‘‘Restricted Equity Security’’ means any equity
security that meets the definition of ‘‘restricted
security’’ as contained in Securities Act Rule
2 17
PO 00000
Frm 00067
Fmt 4703

outside of an alternative trading system
(‘‘ATS’’).7 All published data is derived
directly from OTC transactions reported
to a FINRA equity trade reporting
facility. FINRA does not charge a fee for
this data.8
Currently, FINRA publishes weekly
non-ATS OTC volume information
(number of trades and shares) by firm
and by security on a two-week or fourweek delayed basis. Weekly securityspecific information for transactions in
NMS stocks in Tier 1 of the NMS Plan
to Address Extraordinary Market
Volatility (‘‘Tier 1 NMS stocks’’) is
published on a two-week delayed basis,
while information on the remaining
NMS stocks (‘‘Tier 2 NMS stocks’’) and
OTC Equity Securities is published on
a four-week delayed basis. FINRA also
publishes aggregate weekly non-ATS
volume totals by firm and category of
security (Tier 1 NMS stocks, Tier 2 NMS
stocks, and OTC Equity Securities) on
the same timeframes, as well as
aggregate non-ATS volume totals by
firm for all NMS stocks and OTC Equity
Securities, for each calendar month on
a one-month delayed basis.9 All data is
published by firm on an attributed
basis 10 except that, for firms executing
fewer than 200 non-ATS transactions
per day on average during the reporting
period,11 FINRA combines and
publishes the volume for these firms on
an aggregate non-attributed basis
identified in the published data as ‘‘De
Minimis Firms.’’ 12
FINRA has proposed to expand, in
two ways, the summary firm data
relating to non-ATS OTC equity trading
that FINRA publishes on its website.
First, FINRA would publish new
144(a)(3). See FINRA Rule 6420(k); 17 CFR
230.144(a)(3).
7 FINRA Rules 6110(b) and 6610(b) govern the
publication of information for OTC transactions
executed outside of an ATS (‘‘non-ATS’’ volume
data or information). FINRA Rules 6110(c) and
6610(c) separately govern the publication of trading
information for OTC transactions executed on
ATSs.
8 OTC transaction volume data published
pursuant to FINRA Rules 6110 and 6610 is available
at https://otctransparency.finra.org/
otctransparency/.
9 Monthly aggregated data are categorized by
NMS stocks and OTC Equity Securities, i.e., there
is no differentiation between Tier 1 NMS stocks and
Tier 2 NMS stocks.
10 Non-ATS data is published at the firm level,
aggregating each market participant identifier
(‘‘MPID’’) used by a particular firm (but excluding
any MPIDs used by a firm to report trades executed
on its ATS).
11 For a firm with multiple non-ATS MPIDs, the
total volume across all its MPIDs is combined for
purposes of determining whether the de minimis
threshold has been met.
12 There is no parallel de minimis exception for
ATS transactions under FINRA Rules 6110(c) and
6610(c). Therefore, all ATS volume data is currently
published on an attributed basis.
