Proposed Rule Change to Delay the Operative Date of FINRA Rule 6121.02 ("Market-wide Circuit Breakers in NMS Stocks")

FINRA filed with the SEC a proposed rule change to delay the operative date of FINRA Rule 6121.02 ("Market-wide Circuit Breakers in NMS Stocks"), which reflects changes to the methodology for triggering market-wide circuit breakers for NMS stocks. FINRA is delaying the operative date from February 4, 2013 until April 8, 2013 to correspond to the initial date of operations for the Regulation NMS Plan to Address Extraordinary Market Volatility.
