Federal Register: SEC Requests Comments on FINRA-Proposed "Masking Methodology"

The SEC requested comments on a FINRA proposal that would implement an "anonymous, grouped masking methodology" in order to address confidentiality concerns regarding the publication of over-the-counter ("OTC") trading activity, as required by the Regulation NMS Plan Tick Size Pilot Program (see previous coverage). The request for comments was published in the Federal Register.

Comments on the FINRA proposal must be submitted by April 5, 2017.
