FINRA Delays New TRACE Reorting for MBA-TBA's

November 1, 2012

[ by Howard Haykin ]

New Effective or Start Date:  11/12/12.

FINRA has pushed back the start, or effective, date for the reporting and dissemination of Agency Pass-Through Mortgage-Backed Securities traded "To-Be-Announced" (or "TBA") from 11/5/12 to 11/12/12.

The new requirement for reporting such TBA transactions originally was announced in FINRA Regulatory Notice 12-26, published 5/21/12, at which time it was noted that amendments to FINRA Rule 6700 Series and TRACE dissemination protocols regarding the reporting and dissemination of transactions in TRACE-eligible securities that are agency pass-through mortgage-backed securities that are traded to be announced (TBA) (TBA transactions) and related amendments to FINRA Rule 7730 regarding TBA transaction data fees would become effective on November 5, 2012.1  

The pushback is attributed to disruptions caused by Hurricane Sandy.
