Download as PDF 29994 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 97 / Tuesday, May 19, 2020 / Notices Because stand-alone SBSEs and bank SBSEs will not be dually registered as broker-dealers, they will not be supervised by SROs and therefore are not subject to the SRO plans requiring the FOCUS Report to be filed on FINRA’s eFOCUS system. Rule 18a–7 requires stand-alone SBSEs and bank SBSEs to file the FOCUS Report with ‘‘the Commission or its designee’’ 6 to provide the Commission with the option of requiring that these registrants file the FOCUS Report with a third party.7 By this order, the Commission is designating FINRA as the organization with which stand-alone SBSEs and bank SBSEs must file revised Part II and new Part IIC of the FOCUS Report, respectively, on and after the October 6, 2021, compliance date. II. Discussion FINRA is uniquely qualified to provide the Commission with a familiar and consolidated platform for standalone SBSEs and bank SBSEs to file the FOCUS Report, uniform ancillary ongoing services associated with these filings, and a consolidated platform for transmitting this data to the Commission. First, FINRA-supervised brokerdealers currently file the FOCUS Report through the eFOCUS system owned and operated by FINRA. The Commission anticipates many firms that register as stand-alone SBSEs and bank SBSEs will be affiliated with broker-dealers that currently use the eFOCUS system. FINRA’s eFOCUS system is unique in that it would enable the broker-dealer and non-broker-dealer entities to file both entities’ FOCUS Reports on the same platform using the same preexisting templates, software, and procedures currently used by the broker-dealer. Second, FINRA is uniquely able to transmit the data in the FOCUS Report filings by broker-dealers and nonbroker-dealer SBSEs in a consolidated data transmission to the Commission. Thus, Commission staff will be able to compare data between these different types of entities in a consistent manner and in the same database, which will allow staff to monitor these registrants more effectively. Third, if FINRA is not designated to receive FOCUS Report filings from stand-alone and bank SBSEs, a separate, parallel filing system would need to be created only for non-FINRA supervised filers, which would create complexity and redundancy because the same 6 See 17 CFR 240.18a–7(a). 7 See Recordkeeping Adopting Release, 84 FR at 68572. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:57 May 18, 2020 Jkt 250001 information for required filers would be located on two different filing systems. This, in turn, could create unnecessary confusion and uncertainty for filers. It might also inadvertently result in different available services simply based on which filing system the entity is assigned to use. III. Conclusion It is hereby ordered that FINRA is designated as the organization with which stand-alone SBSEs must file Part II of FOCUS Report and bank SBSEs must file Part IIC of the FOCUS Report in accordance with the requirements of those filings, Section 15F of the Exchange Act, and Rule 18a–7.8 By the Commission.
