Self-Regulatory Organizations;
Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Notice of Filing of a
Proposed Rule Change To Adopt
Supplementary Material .18 (Remote
Inspections Pilot Program) Under
FINRA Rule 3110 (Supervision)
April 28, 2023.
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2
notice is hereby given that on April 14,
2023, the 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. 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 to amend FINRA
Rule 3110 (Supervision) to adopt a
voluntary, three-year remote inspections
pilot program to allow member firms to
elect to fulfill their obligation under
paragraph (1) to Rule 3110(c) (Internal
Inspections) by conducting inspections
of some or all branch offices and
locations remotely without an on-site
visit to such office or location, subject
to specified terms. As detailed below,
the key terms would include, among
others: (1) a requirement for a firm to
conduct and document a risk
assessment for inspecting an office or
location remotely and providing a nonexhaustive list of factors to consider for
this risk assessment; (2) criteria that
would make a member firm ineligible to
participate in the program; (3)
conditions a member firm must satisfy
before becoming a pilot program
participant relating to the firm’s
recordkeeping system, and surveillance
and technology tools; (4) criteria that
would make ineligible for remote
inspection certain member firm offices
or locations; (5) conditions a member
firm’s office or location must satisfy to
be able to undergo a remote inspection
relating to electronic communications,
correspondence, and books and records;
(6) a requirement that a participating
firm provide FINRA specified data and

information on a quarterly basis; and (7)
authorization for FINRA to determine in
the public interest that a firm is no
longer eligible to participate in the
proposed program.
The proposed Remote Inspections
Pilot Program would not change the
current requirements under Rule
3110(c). Instead, the proposed program
would provide firms the flexibility to
satisfy their Rule 3110(c)(1) inspection
obligation with or without an on-site
visit to the office or location, subject to
the proposed terms described herein.
FINRA believes that proposed Rule
3110.18, on balance, preserves investor
protection objectives through the
proposed safeguards while also
providing FINRA the opportunity to
gauge the effectiveness of remote
inspections as part of a modernized,
reasonably designed supervisory system
that reflects the current work
environment and availability of
technologies that did not exist when the
on-site inspection originally was
conceived.
Subject to further clarifications to
proposed Rule 3110.18 as described
below, the terms of the proposed rule
change herein are largely similar to File
No. SR–FINRA–2022–021 filed in July
2022,3 then amended in December
2022 4 (together, the ‘‘2022 Remote
Inspections Pilot Program Rule Filing’’).
FINRA withdrew File No. SR–FINRA–
2022–021 on April 11, 2023 to consider
whether more safeguards and
clarifications to the filing would be
appropriate in response to concerns
raised by commenters.5 This proposed
rule change is organized in five sections:
(1) the background, which provides a
historical overview of Rule 3110(c), and
discusses the environmental changes
that have occurred over the years
relating to technology and the
workplace; (2) FINRA’s observations of
evolving inspection practices; (3) the
emergence of remote inspections as a
new approach to evaluation under Rule
3110(c)(1); (4) a description of the terms
of the proposed rule change; and (5) an
overview of FINRA’s monitoring and
compliance with proposed Rule
3110.18.
