    2.  Motion Practices in Arbitration.   FINRA proposes to amend FINRA Rules 12206, 12503, and 12504 (of the Customer Code of Arbitration Procedure) and Rules 13206, 13503, and 13504 (of the Industry Code of Arbitration Procedure) to provide moving parties with a 5-day period to reply to responses to motions.  while the Codes specify time periods for a party to respond to a motion, including a motion to dismiss, they do not provide expressly for the party that made the original motion (the “moving party”) to reply to a response.  This amendment would address this deficiency.   [FINRA Rule Filing 11-6, 2/4]

   3.  Multiple MPIDs.   FINRA filed for immediate effectiveness to extend the Pilot Period re: the use of multiple MPIDs on FINRA facilities.  This would impact Rule 6160, Multiple MPIDs for Trade Reporting Facility Participants, Rule 6170, Primary and Additional MPIDs for Alternative Display Facility Participants, and Rule 6480, Multiple MPIDs for Quoting and Trading in OTC Equity Securities. The pilot
period for all 3 rules was to expire on 1/28/11, but has been extended to 1/27/12.  FINRA is not proposing any changes to the rules at this time.    [FINRA Rule Filing 11-3, 1/5]

   4.  New Member Web Site Disclosures.   FINRA proposes to require members to disclose on the member’s website fees imposed against its published quotation in any OTC Equity Security consistent with FINRA Rule 6450, Restrictions on Access Fees.  The Rule, approved 6/22/10, provides that a firm may not impose, nor permit to be imposed, non-subscriber access or post-transaction fees against its published quotation in any OTC Equity Security that exceed or accumulate to more than certain values.  This rule change would add Supplementary Material to provide terms and conditions a member firm must follow.  For further details, refer to :   [FINRA Rule Filing 11-8, 2/18]
