FINRA Extends Trading Pause Pilot

January 30, 2013

[ by Howard Haykin ]

FINRA filed for immediate effective to extend the trading pause pilot until 2/4/14.  FINRA will amend its Rule 6121.01, Trading Pauses, that provides for trading pauses in individual securities due to extraordinary market volatility,  The pilot will continue to operate as to individual securities until such security is subject to the Regulation NMS Plan to Address Extraordinary Market Volatility.

FINRA Rule 6121.01 provides that if a primary listing market has issued an individual stock trading pause under its rules, FINRA will halt trading otherwise than on an exchange in that security until trading has resumed on the primary listing market.  The pilot was developed and implemented as a market-wide initiative by FINRA and other SROs in consultation with the SEC staff and currently is applicable to all NMS stocks - other than rights and warrants - and specified exchange-traded products.
