[ by Melanie Gretchen ] The MSRB is looking for public input toward developing its priorities for the 2013 fiscal year that begins 10/1/12.  The resulting work plan with specific initiatives prioritized will support long-term strategic goals and represent priorities executed in conjunction with the MSRB’s ongoing regulatory and market transparency activities. What the MSRB Does. The Board establishes fiscal-year priorities based on an annual assessment that takes into account ongoing analyses of market risks, enforcements actions, market trends, and other developments.  In addition, reviews of new municipal market products and transactions, the information needs of investors and state and local governments, and the conduct of municipal market professionals also support the MSRB’s annual assessment. A Work Plan. The MSRB is seeking feedback from market participants, other stakeholders, and the general public to make sure that its planning activities include the broadest-possible array of input and information with which to establish regulatory and other priorities. Comment Period. The MSRB is looking for comments that are as specific as possible, and that provide as much information as possible about particular issues and topics. As the Board introduces initiatives throughout the fiscal year, the public and others will have further opportunities to provide feedback on individual aspects of these initiatives as they are advanced by the MSRB.  The current comment period ends on 3/23/12. For further details on MSRB's plans and on how to submit comments, go to [MSRB, 2/29/12].
