FINRA and ISG Extend Effective Date for Certain Electronic Blue Sheet Data Elements (FINRA Reg. Notice 15-44)

FINRA and the other U.S. members of the Intermarket Surveillance Group ("ISG") extended the effective date for compliance with certain data elements for Electronic Blue Sheets ("EBS") identified in Regulatory Notice 13-38 to November 1, 2017.

FINRA and ISG specified that they are extending the effective date for these data elements to be consistent with the exemptive relief recently granted by the SEC, which extended the compliance date for certain broker-dealer recordkeeping and reporting requirements of Securities Exchange Act Rule 13h-1 ("Large Trader Rule") from November 1, 2015 to November 1, 2017.
