MSRB Notice 2013-14: Concept Release on Pre-trade and Post-trade Pricing Data Dissemination through a New Central Transparency Platform

The MSRB published the second in a series of concept releases relating to the planned development of a new central transparency platform ("CTP") as part of the MSRB's long-range plan for market transparency. The MSRB is seeking comments from all interested parties on the specific data elements the MSRB should consider disseminating publicly through the CTP with respect to both pre-trade and post-trade pricing information. In addition, the MSRB is seeking input on the appropriate methods, technologies and data protocols that could be used in collecting pre-trade information in a manner that is most efficient for market participants potentially submitting or using such data and for the MSRB as operator of the CTP. Comments will close on November 1, 2013.
