SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[Release No. 34-100557; File No. SR-MSRB-2024-01]
Self-Regulatory Organizations; Municipal Securities Rulemaking
Board; Notice of Designation of Longer Period for Commission Action on
Proceedings To Determine Whether To Approve or Disapprove a Proposed
Rule Change To Amend MSRB Rule G-14 To Shorten the Timeframe for
Reporting Trades in Municipal Securities to the MSRB
July 18, 2024.
On January 12, 2024, the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board
(``MSRB'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposed rule change to (1) amend MSRB Rule G-14 (``Rule G-14''), on
reports of sales or purchases, to (i) shorten the amount of time within
which brokers, dealers, and municipal securities dealers (collectively,
``dealers,'' and each individually, a ``dealer'') must report most
transactions to the MSRB; and (ii) require dealers to report certain
transactions with a new trade indicator, and make certain clarifying
amendments, and (2) make conforming amendments to MSRB Rule G-12, on
uniform practice (``Rule G-12''), and the MSRB's Real-Time Transaction
Reporting System (``RTRS'') Information Facility (``IF-1'') to reflect
the shortened reporting timeframe (collectively, the ``proposed rule
change'').\3\ The proposed rule change was published for comment in the
Federal Register on January 26, 2024.\4\ On April 22, 2024, the
Commission instituted proceedings under Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act
\5\ to determine whether to approve or disapprove the proposed rule
change.\6\

2024), 89 FR 5384 (Jan. 26, 2024) (``Notice'').
\4\ Notice, 89 FR at 5384.
\5\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
\6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 100003 (Apr. 22,
2024), 89 FR 32485 (Apr. 26, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \7\ provides that, after initiating
proceedings, the Commission shall issue an order approving or
disapproving the proposed rule change not later than 180 days after the
date of publication of notice of filing of the proposed rule change.
The Commission may extend the period for issuing an order approving or
[[Page 59952]]
disapproving the proposed rule change, however, by not more than 60
days if the Commission determines that a longer period is appropriate
and publishes the reasons for such determination. The proposed rule
change was published for comment in the Federal Register on January 26,
2024.\8\ The 180th day after publication of the notice for this
proposed rule change is July 24, 2024. The Commission is extending the
time period for approving or disapproving the proposed rule change for
an additional 60 days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
\8\ See supra note 3 and accompanying text.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Commission finds that it is appropriate to designate a longer
period within which to issue an order approving or disapproving the
proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the
proposed rule change and the issues raised therein. Accordingly, the
Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\9\ designates
September 20, 2024, as the date by which the Commission shall either
approve or disapprove the proposed rule change (File No. SR-MSRB-2024-
01).

For the Commission, pursuant to delegated authority.\10\
