Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 187 / Thursday, September 26, 2024 / Notices the phase-in period for the manual trade exception in proposed new Supplementary Material .02(b) of Rule G–14 RTRS Procedures by one additional year. While the MSRB does not intend at this time to provide an interim period for optional use of the manual trade indicator, the MSRB intends to provide a sufficient implementation timeframe, publish updated technical specifications and will work with dealers to provide interpretive guidance, facilitate free testing and other appropriate support to ensure that all dealers have significant opportunity to prepare systems and processes to achieve full compliance with the proposed rule change.223 The Commission believes that the MSRB, through its responses and through proposed changes in Amendment No. 1 has addressed commenters’ concerns. The Commission has also reviewed the record for the proposed rule change and notes that the record does not contain any information to indicate that the proposed rule change would have a negative effect on capital formation. Further, the Commission finds that the possible increased investor protections offered by reducing the timeframe for trade reporting could foster greater faith in the integrity of the municipal securities market, increasing participation in this market, thereby increasing capital formation. The Commission also finds that the proposed rule change includes provisions that help promote efficiency. In particular, the Commission believes that the reduced timeframe for trade reporting could further reduce information asymmetries between market professionals and retail investors by increasing access to more timely information about executed transactions. For the reasons noted above, the Commission believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act. V. Conclusion khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,224 that the proposed rule change (SR–MSRB–2024– 01), as modified by Amendment No. 1, be, and hereby is, approved. For the Commission, pursuant to delegated authority.225 Vanessa A. Countryman, Secretary.
